My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 317: Just 1 hope

Xiang Yang was surprised to see that this Mongolian Yuan battleship shocked so many people.

   "Xiang Yang."

   Chen Yu moved from the research ship to Xiangyang's ocean-going fishing boat. He held Xiang Yang's hand excitedly and said, "Unbelievable, you have found such an important historical document."

   Xiang Yang said ashamed: "Isn't it just a Heavenly Industry Cloud Sword, isn't it?"

   "You don't understand." Professor Chen Yu shook his head and said: "It is gratifying to find the Tianye Cloud Sword, but the grass shaved sword is a foreign thing after all, and what we really value is the sunken ship itself."

"The earliest shipwreck found in the world so far is the Song Dynasty shipwreck 800 years ago, but that shipwreck is an ocean-going merchant ship. It cannot restore the course of maritime hegemony, and it cannot turn the land for human warfare. The ocean provides physical information. The shipwreck you found can make up for this perfectly, and even allow experts to obtain information that cannot be provided by literature and land archaeology. What's more, the Tianye Cloud Sword you found on the ship, It is definitely an epic cultural relic of invaluable value."

   The topic is too high-end, Xiang Yang just didn't understand a word, he could only listen and nod his head, indicating that what the other party said was right.

Chen Yu nodded and was very pleased to see Xiang Yang. He concluded with a smile on his face: “In short, this Mongolian warship is very useful for studying ancient shipbuilding history, war history, shipping history, civilization history, etc., in our country and throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia. It is of great significance."

   Xiang Yang waited for two seconds and didn't even see Chen Yu speaking, knowing that Chen Yu had said everything he wanted to say, so he smiled and said, "Teacher, congratulations."

"Civilization should congratulate you, young man." An old man in long gray clothes walked out from behind Chen Yu. The old man smiled and looked at Xiang Yang and said, "You found the sunken ship and also found Tianye. Yun Jian didn't hide it privately, what kind of reward do you want?"

   Chen Yu quickly introduced: "Student Xiang Yang, this is Mr. Peng, is..."

   The identity of the old man is scary.

   Xiang Yang said politely after listening: "Peng Lao."

   Peng Lao smiled and nodded, "We can chat normally, don't be restrained."

   Xiang Yang was a little sweaty and didn't know how to answer.

At this time, a team of divers swam up from the bottom of the sea. They carried a jade box to the expedition ship. After a while, a middle-aged man arrived on the boat in Xiangyang on a yacht. He said: "Peng Lao , Vice President Chen, the thing has been found."

   Chen Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Is it really Tianye Yunjian?"

"Preliminary confirmation has been made. Experts speculate from the position of the bow that this ancient ship was indeed during the reign of Kublai Khan. Based on the size of the ship, Tianyeyun and other trophies, it was speculated that this ship was probably from Kublai. One of the handsome ships in Bilie's two conquests of Dongying."

   "Can it be salvaged?" Peng Lao asked.

The man shook his head, "I'm afraid not. The expert's preliminary opinion is to first conduct underwater archaeological investigations to accurately locate the sunken ship, and then send people into the water to conduct fine excavation and fine salvage of the sunken ship on the seabed. A small-scale trial excavation of the bows, arrows and ballistas was carried out. After this step was completed, the overall salvage could be carried out. Since many parts of the sunken ship were seriously damaged and could not withstand too much force, the workload of salvage was extremely large. It is estimated that the entire salvage time may be more than two years."

   Xiang Yang was taken aback, "It will take so long?"

   Peng Lao smiled and said: "Recovering a sunken ship, especially an ancient shipwreck, is not as easy as you think. Do you know Nanhai One?"

   Xiang Yang nodded, of course he had heard of the name of Nanhai No.1.

Nanhai No. 1 is a wooden ancient shipwreck that was sunk while transporting porcelain on the Maritime Silk Road in the early Southern Song Dynasty. It is the first shipwreck site discovered in China, and it is also the oldest and largest shipwreck found in the world so far. , The most well-preserved ocean-going merchant ship, more than 800 years ago, every piece of cultural relics salvaged above can only be described as priceless.

   "Then do you know how long it took to salvage Nanhai One?" Peng Lao continued to ask.

   Xiang Yang shook his head, this Xiang Yangke really didn't know, after all, he was not a major repairer of shipwrecks.

“Nanhai No. 1 was discovered in Yangjiang waters in 1987. Underwater archaeological investigations of “Nanhai No. 1” began in 1989. In 2002, the submarine sunken ship was excavated and salvaged. After that, it was only in 2004 after many talks. The overall salvage plan was determined in 2007, and the ancient shipwreck was not hoisted until the end of 2007. At 10 o'clock on the morning of the day, the water release ceremony of "Nanhai No. 1" was held at the scene. In 2008, the opening of the Crystal Palace, which exhibited No. "Peng Lao said with a smile: "You count, how many years have been shared among them?"

  Cong, Xiang Yang took a breath, "The whole process took twenty years!"

   "It's more than that." Peng Lao smiled: "There is also a second trial excavation, a comprehensive excavation and a formal excavation stage. The entire excavation process will not be completed until 2019."

   Xiangyang blinked his eyes. It turned out that it was so difficult to unearth a sunken ship.

"Okay, we'll leave the rest to us~www.readwn.com~ Peng Lao looked at Chen Yu, "Xiao Chen, you reported the sunken ship first. You will lead the entire excavation work, no problem. Right? "

   Chen Yu looked happy, but he still asked: "Peng Lao, can I?"

"Why can't you?" Peng Lao said with a smile: "You mentioned that you have been a professor of Ocean University for almost 20 years, and you have served as the deputy dean of the second-level college of Ocean University for several years. In terms of qualifications, you are completely enough. "

   "Yes, Peng Lao, I promise to complete the task." Chen Yu immediately led the way.

   Peng Lao smiled and nodded, then looked at Xiang Yang, "By the way, you haven't said what reward you want."

   Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, can this kind of thing be rewarded by himself? Wasn’t it the usual practice in the past?

Since Xiang Yang chose to report, he never thought about remuneration. This important historical document is very important for scientific research, and can even enhance the soft power of a country and nation. Xiang Yang is originally generous, and it is even more important on such issues of right and wrong. It is never narrow, and national interests are above everything else. The scientific community finds that such a shipwreck is not easy. If Xiang Yang hides it and does not report it, the next discovery may be dozens or hundreds of years later, and the shipwreck cannot be allowed to continue sinking under the sea .

Xiang Yang said: “I just ask, it’s not right, it’s not a requirement. If the requirement is not good on this big issue of right and wrong, I just have one hope. You must bring the precious historical documents and the like to the laboratory. Go inside, but those less important things should be specially built for display in a local museum? If possible, I hope that museum can be built in Qinglongwan."
