Golden Fishing Village

During the dive, Ao Muyang took out an electronic thermometer and calculated the water temperature in layers.

When he was still ten meters away from the seabed, he turned and swam southeast. Through his unobstructed vision, a sunken ship appeared...

Yes, this was the fundamental reason why he insisted on entering the water. When he rescued the overheated researcher, he happened to find a sunken ship in the distance.

Ever since he could walk freely underwater, he wanted to find a sunken ship, but he didn't find it.

I finally waited for you, and I'm glad I didn't give up.

This ship must have sunk to the bottom of the sea for many years. The hull has turned into a decayed gray-black color, with some seaweed and water plants coiled on it. A small part of it is buried in the sand layer on the seabed, which is not very conspicuous.

Therefore, even if several researchers dived into the seabed, they still didn't find the ship. First, their vision was not good, and they could only see a few meters away by the searchlight on the helmet; second, the ship was really hidden enough.

The bow of the sunken ship is very sharp and upturned, rising high above the hull, its two sides arch outward, and there are broken guard plates on both sides. Even though it has been submerged for who knows how many years, the tall hull is still roughly preserved, the wide and flat deck at the bow is intact, and even the eyes painted on both sides of the bow are still roughly preserved.

At a glance, Ao Muyang recognized its identity: a Fu ship!

He was too familiar with this ship. The Ming Dynasty warship was docked in the waters outside the village. He could see it every day, so he knew this kind of ship very well.

After seeing that it was a Fu ship, Ao Muyang was not very interested.

Most Fu ships are large ships. They have high bows, strong impact devices, and a deep draft of up to four meters, which is particularly suitable as warships.

Ao Muyang estimated that this was also a warship, and it was a half-broken warship.

There were no treasures such as gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques on the warship, only weapons. However, after being soaked in the seabed for a long time, even modern forged weapons would be corroded, not to mention the products of low ancient smelting technology?

After approaching the ship, he saw the whole picture of the sunken ship.

The front half of the sunken ship was fine, but the back half was shattered. It might have been hit by a cannon. There was still a big hole in the hull, which looked like the means of ancient cannonballs.

Falling in the deep sea of ​​100 meters, there were no fish, shrimps, or crabs in the ship, only many shellfish and snails parasitized on it.

This is a paradise for conchs. The slowly flowing undercurrent brought a lot of food. With the sunken ship as a shelter, no predators would come to trouble them, allowing them to live well and their populations to reproduce well.

There were conchs inside and outside the sunken ship, full of them, enough to give people with intensive phobia nightmares.

After Ao Muyang approached the sunken ship, he first floated in the sea and pushed the hull with his hands to see if it had become a ruin. He didn't want to be smashed in it when he went in for adventure.

Fortunately, the wood used in the Fu ship is mostly willow and poplar, which are hard and well preserved.

He entered the cockpit along the bow first, trying to find some identification of the ship.

As a result, he did not find any useful information. There were only a few dry bones in the cockpit, and small conches were clinging to the bones, which looked a bit evil.

Fortunately, he patiently dismantled the cockpit and finally found two small boxes. The two boxes were well preserved and sealed with a layer of something that was not sure whether it was glue or wax.

Seeing the box, Ao Muyang tried it. The box was very light, so they should have some value, so he took the two small boxes with him and continued to search.

Entering the cabin from the ship, some messy boxes appeared.

Most of these boxes were made of wood. He touched them with his hand and they were quite solid.

So he was looking forward to it. After opening the box, he wanted to see if there was anything valuable inside.

Inside was a pile of broken porcelain pieces, which had been soaked in seawater for an unknown period of time and were covered with plankton. The surface was rough and yellow-brown in color, and they had no value.

Obviously, the box had once contained porcelain, but when the ship sank, they collided with each other and broke.

Even if they were not broken, they would have no value. The seawater had soaked the porcelain for too long, and they had lost their luster and softness. They were no longer the oriental porcelain that was famous all over the world.

He opened the boxes one by one, and they were full of broken porcelain, all of which had no value.

Entering the second cabin, there were also wooden boxes inside. After opening them, there was another pile of broken porcelain.

Ao Muyang took a closer look and said that it was wrong to say that it was porcelain. These were some pottery, and some of the pottery could still be preserved. After he picked it up, he looked at it and saw two columns of characters fired side by side. One column was in regular script: Chengyi Huamao Fine Wine, which he recognized, and the other column was like ghost paintings, and he didn't know which country's characters it was.

These characters were not written on it, but were engraved on it when the jar was fired, so even if it was soaked in the sea for many years, it could still be preserved.

Looking at the regular script, Ao Muyang understood that there were wine jars inside. It was estimated that the ship had carried a lot of fine wine, but unfortunately the wine jars were all broken.

Even if it was fine wine, its value could not be compared with the porcelain in the previous cabin. The porcelain was so well protected and it was all broken, so the wine jars were naturally broken.

And even if they were not broken, the wine inside would be gone. The bottle mouth used the old-fashioned kraft paper and mud seal method. The dry mud had melted long ago when it entered the water. Over the years, seawater has penetrated into the jar through the kraft paper and destroyed the wine inside.

It was impossible to enter the cabins further back. They were even more broken. Ao Muyang looked inside through the gap and found that it was empty...

"Another abandoned shipwreck." Ao Muyang shook his head helplessly.

He didn't want to return empty-handed, so he went back to the second cabin and carefully searched for wine jars, trying to see if he could find a good wine jar to take back.

As a result, as he opened the wooden boxes, he found that some of the wooden boxes were not wine jars, but some silk and satin.

Of course, this thing can only be guessed based on impressions. After being soaked in sea water for many years, most of these cloths have been rotten and turned into sticky fragments when touched by hand.

There was no surprise. Even if he patiently opened all the boxes, he found nothing. So he had no choice but to leave the shipwreck and float to the surface.

He stayed on the shipwreck for more than two hours. No one doubted his situation underwater, because the process of surfacing from a 100-meter deep dive also took a long time. The reason why the researchers floated up quickly before was that the situation was urgent and they had to speed up to float up.

Seeing him coming out of the water, Professor Cao immediately came up to him: "Xiao Ao, how are you?"

Ao Muyang said: "I'm doing fine here. Here, Professor Cao, this is the water temperature distribution."

Professor Cao held the thermometer and said: "Thanks to you this time, you've helped a lot."

Ao Muyang smiled and put the two small boxes into his bag calmly. No one noticed him. He wanted to open the box to see what was inside, but he didn't do it in the end.

The box had been underwater for many years, and no one knew what was inside. If he opened it hastily, it would easily cause the things inside to be oxidized by the air and damaged. He planned to go back and find a suitable environment to open the box.
