A large number of bronzes with inscriptions, as well as jade clothes with distinctive gold threads. Do you think they were secretly transported into South Vietnam by Chinese people a hundred years ago? Who believes it?
Even if a person with a dark heart knows that you are right, he may still choose not to believe it.
If you tell others sincerely, then others will also tell you sincerely: How could you be so kind and now secretly dig it out and bring it back to the country?
Especially for bronzes, let’s not talk about whether they can be traded in China. Even if they can be sold, how much can they be sold for?
If you don't bring it back home and sell it abroad, the price will be high.
If you want to say you are patriotic but don't want cultural relics to be lost abroad, others will definitely believe you?
Even if someone simply covets Chen Wenzhe's treasures, Chen Wenzhe can't stand it!
Because all jealous people are likely to tell lies with their eyes open.
Previously, Chen Wenzhe's large collection of treasures was placed in his base in the South China Sea.
He has a large investment there, mainly because he has good cooperation with the base there.
Besides, those people don’t care about cultural relics.
Because in their eyes, those are just broken bottles and cans, or at most, some scrap metal.
These things really would be more valued than arranging more retired soldiers for them.
However, these things cannot be hidden when they go inland, especially into big cities like Dahai City.
With no other choice, Chen Wenzhe could only obtain some support through interest exchange.
After all, his large number of cultural relics were indeed found from overseas.
If you say it was smuggled out of the country and the stolen goods were laundered by re-declaring to customs, he can really prove his innocence.
However, there are some things that are easy to do but hard to say, such as the fact that he was dug out from South Vietnam and smuggled back.
No matter who these treasures originally belong to, you always smuggled them out from a sovereign country.
Can you say such a thing? Isn’t that making yourself uncomfortable?
One thing more is worse than one thing less, so Chen Wenzhe made multiple preparations.
If the Maritime Government is dissatisfied, they can even find a few sunken ships at the Yangtze River estuary or even in nearby waters and hand them over to them.
Anyway, even if there are sunken ships in offshore waters and river mouths, he cannot salvage them.
In this case, it’s better to get some benefits in exchange!
Just like now, Chen Wenzhe has stepped onto the deck.
He looked at the sea level, selected a scene from before the Qing Dynasty, and let it appear before his eyes.
Once the time is determined and then the keywords are chosen, it will definitely be a shipwreck.
In this way, the scene recalled is related to the shipwreck, and the time is before the Qing Dynasty.
This is the power of his current cheating device. I don’t know why, but it’s getting better and better.
This is like a super search that can search for everything that happened in an area and history based on time and keywords.
"Is this the scene of the sinking of the Yangtze Estuary No. 2 ship?"
Finding "treasures" from the sea is sometimes so easy.
Who would have thought that there would be many sunken ships in the Yangtze River Estuary?
The most important thing is that there are really many treasures on these sunken ships.
Of course, don’t think that salvaging or searching for sunken ships within the Yangtze River is easy.

Dahai City has been the starting point and one of the important ports of the Maritime Silk Road since ancient times.
The Yangtze River Estuary in the sea is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River's "golden waterway" and at the center of my country's north and south coastlines.
Throughout the ages, countless underwater treasures and unsolved mysteries have been buried on this busy route and in complex waters.
Since 2011, according to the deployment of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, Dahai City has launched a census of underwater cultural heritage.
Through land surveys and visits, literature reviews, etc., more than 150 clues to underwater cultural relics in the waters of the Yangtze River Estuary were collected.
However, for a long time, the turbid water environment has been a bottleneck for the development of underwater archeology in my country, especially in the waters of the Yangtze River Estuary.
In this area where the river and the sea meet with almost zero visibility, exploring underwater cultural heritage is like "finding a needle in a haystack".
To this end, the Dahai Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau organized multiple departments to independently develop the "Underwater Imaging Device for Muddy Waters" that obtained a national patent.
Afterwards, marine geophysical scanning equipment such as unmanned boats, multi-beam, side-scan sonar, shallow stratigraphic profilers and magnetometers were used to carry out joint underwater surveys of the waters of the Yangtze Estuary.
Finally, in 2015, staff made a discovery while conducting a key underwater archaeological survey in the Chongming Hengsha waters of the Yangtze River Estuary.
Through sonar scanning and other technologies, they discovered a relatively well-preserved iron shipwreck, which was archaeologically numbered "Yangtze Estuary No. 1".
After underwater archaeological diving exploration, it was confirmed that the sunken ship was an iron warship from the Republic of China period.
Soon after, archaeologists discovered another larger, well-preserved ancient wooden shipwreck in the north of the sunken ship. The archaeological number was "Yangtze Estuary No. 2".
Since then, the prelude to decoding the ancient ship No. 2 at the Yangtze Estuary has begun.
Therefore, Yangtze Estuary No. 2 is still very famous because it is not a warship, but a transport merchant ship.
Chen Wenzhe's heart moved. Time fast forwarded and soon came to the year 2020. The picture displayed at this time was of Yangtze Estuary No. 2 being fished out of the water.
"Sure enough, many of the porcelains transported that year have not been salvaged. I don't know if they were washed into the ocean, buried in the mud, or were salvaged before?"
Shipwreck No. 2 at the mouth of the Yangtze River,
Why is it more famous? Is it because there are more porcelain on it?
It can be said that it is the largest wooden shipwreck with the most complete preservation and a huge number of cultural relics discovered by underwater archaeology in my country.
This trading ship from the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty sank underwater in the Beigang Channel northeast of Hengsha Island in Chongming.
The entire ship and its hull are buried 5.5 meters under the seabed.
When this ancient ship came out of the water, its hull was about 38.1 meters tall.
There are 31 cabins that have been identified, containing many exquisite cultural relics. So far, more than 600 pieces of ceramics have been cleaned out.
The most important thing is that this ship was salvaged as a whole, and it was earlier than Chen Wenzhe used this technology.
This ancient ship salvage and relocation project adopted the world's first "arc beam non-contact integral migration technology of cultural relics".
At that time, a work ship was used to lower 22 giant arc beams around the ancient ship to form a huge semi-cylindrical caisson.

After that, the ancient ship with a total weight of more than 10,000 tons, the sediment and sea water were wrapped up "watertightly" and lifted out of the water.
Finally, it was embedded in the middle opening of the moon pool of another specially-built salvage engineering ship.
The entire offshore operation is expected to take 2-3 months. At this point, it is not as good as the technology used by Chen Wenzhe and others.
After all, Chen Wenzhe uses many ships and the technology is more mature and advanced.
There is nothing we can do about this. Whenever we do something for the first time, we are still in the stage of technology accumulation.
