Eight hundred and fortieth chapters sail battleship
Underwater robots are very inconvenient to use, especially in areas with complex environments, and are completely useless.
This time, the water here was flat, but the water was a bit deep, so Chen Wenzhe went into the water alone again.
Recently, Chen Wenzhe's diving ability has been recognized by everyone.
There is nothing we can do about it. As the number of dives increases, Chen Wenzhe's potential seems to have been stimulated. He is now more and more accustomed to the ocean and the water pressure.
And he could feel that his strength was also increasing rapidly.
However, these cannot be exposed, otherwise, he will be treated as a monster.
Only Chen Wenzhe secretly murmured that all these changes must be because of the Sui Marquis Pearl!
As his physical fitness gets stronger, his diving experience becomes better and better.
This is like a master who practices martial arts under a waterfall. As long as he goes into the water one more time, his strength will increase.
Chen Wenzhe is naturally happy with this situation.
And luck finally came to him today.
This time he dived under a hundred meters and saw a huge thing at first sight.
Although it was covered with a lot of debris, Chen Wenzhe could still tell that it was a ship.
After looking around, Chen Wenzhe roughly knew that this was an armed ship sailing battleship that was the main force in maritime operations in the 17th century!
The sailing battleship appeared in the 17th century. It was a wooden hull structure equipped with sails. It was powered by wind and had a displacement of about 1,000 tons.
The ship is equipped with smoothbore guns that can fire solid projectiles.
After the Anglo-Dutch War, its tonnage gradually increased. The displacement of top battleships increased to 3,000 to 5,000 tons, and the number of artillery pieces increased from dozens to hundreds.
At that time, major Western countries had large fleets, often with dozens or hundreds of such main warships.
It is normal for a sunken sailing warship to appear here.
The length of this sunken ship reaches 40 to 50 meters, and the height is more than 6 to 7 meters, and this does not include the hull buried under the sand.
Chen Wenzhe couldn't see exactly how big it was, but he only knew it was very big.
Such a behemoth standing on the bottom of the sea is really conspicuous.
It's just that the water here is relatively deep, and most people can't get in!
After walking around the battleship, he easily found the entrance to the battleship. Of course, what he saw most was the artillery.
This is a battleship with dozens of cannons mounted on it, and the deck looks very thick, not even one layer.
Unfortunately, war is cruel. Even this powerful existence, which is called a mobile wooden fortress, was broken and torn into pieces. Finally, it was flooded and capsized, and it sank here.
Looking at the dark hole in front of me, if I enter from this way, I may be able to reach the cabin easily.
However, Chen Wenzhe did not act rashly this time.
After all, it is a cooperative treasure hunt, and trust is the most important thing.
Therefore, he just walked around the perimeter, understood the situation, and stopped above the ship.
Standing above the sunken ship covered in silt, Chen Wenzhe used the backtracking skill.
He could see some of the conditions he wanted to see by tracing back the sunken ship that was completely buried in the silt.
Especially the things loaded on it, as well as more conspicuous items, so that he could roughly judge which country the sunken ship belonged to and what kind of things it carried.
Soon, he saw something.
To be precise, this is a sunk warship, so the time from now will naturally not be too long.
The seventeenth century was only three hundred years ago, and this sunken ship was almost in decay.
This was also the main reason why he didn't go in. If he went in and was buried inside, would he be unjust?
However, after seeing clearly what was being transported on the ship, Chen Wenzhe became a little uneasy.
This battleship does not carry common domestic porcelain. It is a real treasure ship and a real pirate ship!
This is not a Spanish treasure ship, that is to say, it is a privateer from another country.
Although the battleship was severely damaged, Chen Wenzhe still discovered through some fragmentary pictures that the pirate ship had gained a lot.
"Good boy, salvage all the things on this sunken ship. I'm afraid they will be valuable! It's just that these things are a bit tricky. Even if the shipwreck is on the high seas, if they can be transported back to the country, it won't cause a sensation.
Disaster."
Chen Wenzhe was also helpless. The partner he was working with was still a bit weak.
If it was a really big boss, it would be too easy to keep things secret.
And this time, the person he is cooperating with seems to be an ordinary local maritime department?
The personnel in this department are too complex, and if there is even the slightest disturbance, the whole city will be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Chen Wenzhe surfaced directly.
Through the locator carried, the location of the sunken ship can be confirmed.
Finding the spot where the fleet anchored, he headed straight to the cockpit.
After getting on the boat, he analyzed the chart with reference to it.
Seeing Chen Wenzhe returning to the ship early, he hurriedly entered the cockpit and took out the chart to think about something. Gao Qijing, who followed him, asked curiously: "Young man, have you found anything?"
"We really found something. If we salvage a lot of treasures now, can you keep it secret?"
"Of course, who do you think we are? Don't worry, no matter how many treasures are salvaged, it won't cause uproar in the city!"
Chen Wenzhe looked at Gao Qijing a little suspiciously. Isn't this a big boast?
"Boy, did you find a sunken ship? Don't worry, we are also afraid of trouble and have gathered together!"
Gao Qijing gave the order, and soon the entire ship, or rather the nearby fleet, took action.
With orders and prohibitions, this fleet seems to be really not simple!
It seems that Chen Wenzhe was wrong. He thought these were just some miscellaneous teams of veterans, but he didn't expect it!
"Forget it, I will trust you once. If things get too big this time, we won't be able to cooperate in the future."
Looking at Chen Wenzhe who smiled again, Gao Qijing didn't know what to say.
He was very dissatisfied with this young man at the time, but his superiors believed in him.
The main reason is that Chen Wenzhe's behavior has always been very reliable.
Not to mention anything else, he made a special contribution in the discovery of Sun Dianying's treasure, otherwise he would not be rewarded with so many treasures.
Now some people speculate that the reward he received might be worth tens of billions if he were to sell it slowly!
Of course, this is a legend and no one will believe it.
However, there are not tens of billions, even if it is only 100 million, it is not small money!
So after learning about Chen Wenzhe's information, some local leaders immediately decided on this operation.
And they attach great importance to it, but Chen Wenzhe doesn't know these inside stories.
Chen Wenzhe didn't know these things, but Gao Qijing did.
