Live broadcast of magnet fishing, the police called me to file a report

Chapter 196 Missionaries more than two hundred years ago

brush!
The eyes of all the crew members fell on Ye Haoran. The appearance of the ship's bow meant that there was a high probability of an ancient sunken ship on the seabed. Next, it was up to Ye Haoran to decide whether to send people down directly or let magnets be placed below.

For them personally, they definitely hope to send people down directly to find out what happens, and they will probably know when they find the place.

"Call the police station and let's continue fishing here."

Ye Haoran quickly made a decision. The reason for the fighter jet was because he had an agreement with the navy. Under normal circumstances, it would naturally require a magnet to catch it. Otherwise, how could he live broadcast the goods.

After receiving Ye Haoran's instructions, Meng Fan and others took action quickly.

The magnet was quickly put down, and Meng Fan also called the phone to notify the police of the situation.

"Can you tell where this thing comes from?"

Xu Mei stared at the raised bow of the ship for a while, and then asked Ye Haoran.

If anyone on the ship could figure out the origin of this thing, it was only Ye Haoran.

Others don't know much about cultural relics, let alone Western things. It's pretty good to be able to figure out what they are.

"This thing is from Gaul. It should be from the 18th century."

Ye Haoran himself didn't know this thing, but he had identification skills, so it was easy to understand some basic information.

"Something from more than two hundred years ago?"

Xu Mei looked at the goddess statue for a while and asked, "Is it worth the money?"

She has no research on archaeology, and if Ye Haoran talks about history with her, she won't understand.

"It's not bad! If you're lucky, it shouldn't be a problem to sell it for hundreds of thousands."

Selling for hundreds of thousands, do you think this is okay?

Ye Haoran's flat tone caused Xu Mei to complain silently. That was hundreds of thousands, not dozens of yuan. For ordinary people, it was definitely a huge sum of money.

However, on second thought, it seems quite normal.

Not to mention what level of treasures Ye Haoran found, hundreds of thousands of treasures would not be ranked among them. With Ye Haoran's current earning power, he indeed has enough capital not to care about so much money.

When other people on the boat heard Ye Haoran's words, they didn't know what to say.

Is this a rich person?
Things worth hundreds of thousands are not considered at all.

Seeing that Xu Mei remained silent, Ye Haoran introduced the situation of the statue according to the information given by the identification technique.

Not long after, a shout rang out, attracting the attention of everyone on the boat: "We've caught something!"

So fast?
The magnet has just been put into the water, so according to experience, it should take a while before you catch anything.

The crew members who were originally listening to Ye Haoran talk about the situation of the bow statue were slightly surprised, and their eyes fell on the rope.

Ye Haoran had already finished talking, but when he saw something happened, he simply stopped talking and walked towards the rope, staring at the calm sea, quietly waiting for the things under the water to be fished out.

This process didn't take long. Not long after, a huge iron box slowly rose from the bottom of the water into the air. A large amount of water fell from above, causing ripples on the sea surface.

Two days ago, an iron box was fished out from the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea. There were many good things in it.

Therefore, when they saw the iron box, everyone on the boat was suddenly full of expectations, and they kept guessing in their minds what good things would be inside. In terms of volume, this iron box is just as big as the one I found before. It is more than enough to stuff two people into it, so there will naturally be no shortage of things.

"What good things do you think there will be in it?"

"There must be porcelain tea or something."

"I think it might be some Western mechanical products and handicrafts."

"It should be cloth and firearms. At that time, the Qing Dynasty didn't need many Western things, so that's all."

"I think it might be opium. They made a lot of money back then. It was their main product."

……

Ye Haoran has just explained the approximate age of the ship's prow statue. Therefore, many people on the ship thought of the opium trade. In the 18th century, domestic demand for Western things was extremely low. Almost all domestic goods traveled across the ocean and earned money. Lots of money.

Western products are rarely popular in China.

It was not until later that silk, porcelain and tea-related technologies were stolen from the West through missionaries. With the advantage of productivity, the trade gap between the two sides was gradually leveled.

Of course, the main one is the notorious opium trade.

In order to make money, the West cultivates opium in large quantities, poisoning people in various countries.

Of course, there was also a lot of arms trade. However, at that time, the replacement of weapons was far slower than now. Moreover, there were no wars in the Qing Dynasty, so there was not much demand for this aspect. It was not until the warlords fought later that the share of the arms trade was increased.

boom!
During the discussion, the large iron box was heavily dropped on the ship.

Everyone immediately gathered around and looked at the condition of the iron box.

The iron box itself is nothing special. However, this thing is not a U-shaped lock, but a mechanism code lock embedded in the box itself. There are five digits in total. You need to turn the code to the corresponding number before you can open the box. .

password?
Looking at the mechanism on the box, everyone couldn't help but feel a little confused. There were almost ten thousand five-digit password combinations. If you didn't know the original password, you would have to try them one by one. If you were unlucky, it would take a long time.

It's quite lucky that something from the 18th century can still be found with a combination lock.

The most troublesome thing is that we can't be sure that the mechanism itself has not been damaged after being soaked in water for so long. It's okay if it's not broken. If it is broken, even if it has a password, it will be useless.

For a moment, everyone on the boat fell into silence, thinking about how to open the iron box.

"Just take a hammer and smash it open to save yourself the trouble!"

Yang Shan was the first to speak, not to mention that this box has been soaked underwater for two hundred years. As long as the force is strong enough, it can be opened with force just like it was made. It doesn't matter what the password is, whether it is broken or not.

"Why don't you use a hammer to smash yourself open? This thing can be considered an antique, and you can smash it as you say?"

Meng Fan looked at Yang Shan with a look of disgust on his face. After all, it was a machine box, and it should still have some research value. After a few hammer blows, it was broken whether it was opened or not.

When they usually salvage, no one is watching, so it's okay to do this.

Ye Haoran's live broadcast room is now watched by more than two million people online. When the time comes, who can resist being accused of destroying cultural relics?

Let me just remind you, there is no need to be so fierce!
Yang Shan was very depressed. If it doesn't work, it won't work. There is no need to be so excited.
