Barracudas and tuna are in droves.

The hedgehog is quietly hidden on the beach under the sea.

The grouper swims around the coral reef.

Turtles are eating seaweed.

Dozens of dolphins cooperate to prey on the goal of preparing tufted tuna, eating a big meal.

To be on the safe side, Chen Rui did not put a higher-level creature in the sea of ​​pregnant seas than the Coelacanth into the food chain. If a shark was put in, it would be a tragedy.

Therefore, for a time, a male and a female Coelacanth became the predator of this sea.

Suddenly, there was a black shadow in front of Chen Rui, lying quietly on the beach under the sea like a giant.

Chen Rui was excited and accelerated to swim.

Swim to the front and found that this is a huge hull wreck, a mottled hull, a rusty hinge, a tripped mast, a cannon buried in the sand, silently telling the s.h.i.+p's tragic experience, in the cold The dark sea has been immersed for hundreds of years.

A small part of the hull is buried in the sand, and the deck and the s.h.i.+p's silo are partially exposed.

This is a Mediterranean-style sailboat that was one of the two most common sailing boats in Spain before the Spanish sailing boat appeared.

The s.h.i.+p is a small, light merchant s.h.i.+p with a spinnaker. It is two such Mediterranean-style sailboats that accompanied the larger 'Virgin Mary' in 1492 to complete the adventure of discovering the New World of the Americas. They become the most common adventure boats.

The disappointment of Chen Rui is that the s.h.i.+p's board is scattered scattered on the bottom of the sea. There is a big hole on the side of the s.h.i.+p. The cut of the hole is very flat, and the s.h.i.+pyard where the materials are stored is empty.

Obviously, other treasure hunters have already gotten the first place, and there is nothing left on the s.h.i.+p.

But think about it, I feel very normal.

This sea area is the famous 'treasure tomb' in the world.

Over the past hundred years, there have been a few treasure huntmen who come here to hunt for treasures. There is such a conspicuous one on the seabed, and the s.h.i.+pwreck that has not been covered by mud has long been discovered.

Chen Rui carefully looked for a while in the s.h.i.+p's warehouse.

Harvesting a few Spanish double-column silver coin, it is estimated that the sailors on the s.h.i.+p left behind, and the treasure hunters who had previously boarded the first place were missing.

Spain's double-column silver coin was conquered by Mexico from 1519 to 1521, and later discovered a large silver mine. In 1732, a large number of 'coin' were cast on the spot. In addition, the Spanish colonies of Chile, Bolivia, Columbine, Guatemala, Venezuela , Peru, etc., also cast 'coin'.

The value of these 'coin' silver dollar is between 600 and 1000 Yuan, which is better than nothing.

After leaving the s.h.i.+pwreck, Chen Rui continued to search the seabed.

Two months later, Chen Rui has searched most of the sea areas that were previously delineated.

The s.h.i.+pwreck found several s.h.i.+ps.

Either it has already been picked up first.

Either there is not much value, just find some sailors on the boat carrying Spanish gold and silver coins, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry, and silver tableware for dining.

In Chen Dong's opinion, this is normal.

Spanish merchant s.h.i.+ps are not every s.h.i.+p that is full of gold and silver jewels.

Most of the merchant s.h.i.+ps are loaded with slaves from Spain and s.h.i.+pped from South America to local coffee, sugar and other goods.

Only a small part of it is a treasure s.h.i.+p full of gold and silver jewels looted from South America.

Finding a treasure s.h.i.+p full of gold and silver jewellery, but not the first to get the first move, it is a big luck, worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars to Billion of dollars.

Treasure hunt requires patience, especially for sea treasure hunting.

Treasure hunting is like looking for oil, it takes a lot of time, energy and financial resources, but it may not be rewarded.

Luck is very important.

At this point, Chen Rui has prepared for it.

It is normal for a treasure hunter or treasure hunt company to spend ten or even decades searching for a s.h.i.+pwreck.

For example, Odyssey spent a full 12 years before finding the first valuable s.h.i.+pwreck, 'the Republic'.

Mel Fisher has found the 'Atocha Lady' s.h.i.+pwreck for 30 years.

However, more treasure hunters spend ten or even decades of time, energy, and hundreds of millions of dollars without any gains.

Chen Rui is ready to spend half a year searching for this area.

--------

On this day, Chen Rui searches the seabed as usual, and is meticulous. If you see something that is not a stone, you should use a metal detector to detect it.

At this time, Chen Rui has dive to the bottom of the sea more than 200 meters deep. The average depth of the submarine dive is 300~400 meters.

Huge water pressure can crush a person.

In addition to underwater detection robots, divers can not dive to this depth when wearing compression suits.

With the water separation and the turtles, the body is transformed so it can dive so deep.

Chen Rui felt a little pressure on the sea floor of more than 200 meters, but for Chen Rui, it was almost negligible, and it did not have much impact on Chen Rui's underwater search work.

More than 200 meters of the seabed, only a trace of light, very dark, the water is very cold, the surrounding is very quiet, the silence is a bit strange.

Chen Rui head wears a waterproof mine light, holding a metal detector in his hand.

Walking in the sand under the sea, just like walking on a flat land, walking freely and walking steadily.

'Bip Bip'The metal detector rang.

Chen Rui's spirit was shocked and his face was happy.

Anyone who repeats a job over and over again in a 200-meter-deep, icy, dark seabed will be annoying for months.

Now, after hearing the sound of the 'Bip Bip' sounded by the metal detector, like the music of heaven, Chen Rui's spirit was shocked.

Chen Rui squatted down and opened the sand with his hand, first revealing the chord of a s.h.i.+p.

This discovery immediately made Chen Rui exclaimed.

The next discovery made Chen Rui even more excited.

The high s.h.i.+p string, the high tail building, the low front stern, and the stern are flat. There is a protrusion at the bow, which is like a crater of a paddle boat. There is an independent gun position.

The hull has a distinct equilateral trapezoidal shape (the sides of the hull are inclined from bottom to top) and this slope extends all the way to the tailgate.

The aspect ratio is 4:1.

This is a typical feature of Spanish galleons.

The towering bow and aft deck, when the two s.h.i.+ps are stuck side by side during the war, have the advantage of being able to easily board the enemy s.h.i.+p.

The ratio of length to width of 4:1 makes the Spanish galleons and other contemporary sailboats, such as the Clarke sailboat, more dominant in speed.
