"Zhuang Rui, we must obey the law and abide by the law. I don't want to go back to my old profession as a lawyer..."
Seeing Zhuang Rui's fierce look, Huangfu Yun couldn't help shouting behind him, with Zhuang Rui's connections in the country, if he wanted to make money through some evil ways, it would not be difficult.
"Come on, just keep an eye on the construction site. I'll be back in a month at most..."
Zhuang Rui did not look back, but waved his hand back. At this moment, he was also depressed. He should not spend money lavishly in the future, and there must be a way out for everything.
The money he originally won from horse racing in Macau was invested in the defense weapons of "Xuan Rui Island". Otherwise, even if he kept half of it, it would be enough to build the Golden City this time.
Of course, gambling and stone betting are not the only ways to make money in this world. In Zhuang Rui's eyes, there are endless treasures for him to claim in the vast sea.
Moreover, these treasures in the sea are usually gold and silver looted from all over the world by several major powers during the foreign colonial period. Their artistic value is not very high. Zhuang Rui has no psychological pressure to sell these things.
…
The "Xuan Rui", which had not stayed in Tianjin Port for long, has set sail again. However, compared to Captain Clyde's gloomy look when he returned from Africa, he is now in high spirits, and even the beard on his chin has been wiped off.
The hair was carefully styled with hairspray.
After the "Xuan Rui" sailed out of the high seas, Clyde came to the deck and said with a mocking smile to Zhuang Rui, who was sitting there basking in the sun: "Boss, you really keep your word, haha, let's
What period of time are we going to salvage this time?"
After receiving a call from Zhuang Rui yesterday, Clyde excitedly spent the whole night riding on his little lover. He didn't look like a middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties at all. You know, he had to take the little blue pill to enjoy himself.
Well, it's obvious that he loves the ocean more than the woman in his arms.
"Captain Clyde, whose treasure do you want us to find?"
Zhuang Rui took a sip of the beer at hand and laughed. The weather was just right for going out to sea in late autumn. It was neither cold nor hot. He was enjoying the warm sea breeze and enjoying the beautiful scenery on the sea. If the side of the boat was not too high, he would have fished again.
Yeah, that's what it means to be comfortable.
However, Zhuang Rui went out to sea this time with the golden eagle. He and Peng Fei sat on the deck drinking beer and watching the golden eagle catch a big fish from the sea from time to time. It felt very good.
"Oh, boss, you gave me a problem..."
Clyde shouted exaggeratedly, blinked his eyes, and said: "Are we going to Rohaude Island? The pirate treasures there have been passed down for centuries..."
"Haha, Captain Clyde, the treasures there are not left by your ancestors, right? Otherwise, why are you so interested?"
Zhuang Rui burst out laughing when he heard this. He knew that the Rohaude Island that Clyde was talking about was a legend even more famous than the Klaus treasure he had discovered.
Lohaude Island is located in Australia. The island is not a resort with beautiful scenery and birds singing. However, "an island is famous not only for its beauty, but also for its treasures." According to legend, there are countless treasures hidden on the island, and the surrounding seabed is also covered with dazzling gems.
From the 1650s to the 1670s, the Spaniards followed Columbus's voyages to the Americas, plundered countless gold and silver jewelry from the Indians, and then returned home with the ships full of them.
However, their actions were noticed by the pirates. The pirates frantically attacked every passing merchant ship, killed the crew members, and robbed a large amount of treasure. The treasure was so heavy that the pirates could not take it all away, so they buried the remaining parts in Luohao.
Tokushima, and drew a treasure map. The pirates swore a blood oath to keep the secret strictly in order to enjoy this ill-gotten wealth forever.
Who would have thought that pirates are pirates after all, and there is no credibility at all. Some conspirators tried to seize the treasure for themselves. Blood and flesh were everywhere for a while, and a fire left corpses behind. The winner took the treasure map and wandered around the world, living a life of debauchery.
, a life of arrogance and luxury, and the legend of Zangjin Island spread like wildfire and became popular all over the world.
In the 1770s, a man named William Phoebus accidentally discovered a map of Lochaud Island, which marked the sinking site of Spanish merchant ships. He was ecstatic and felt
An opportunity to make a fortune came. With this treasure map in mind, William Phoebus landed on the desert island and investigated everywhere, but found nothing.
One day when William Phoebus was wandering on the beach, he accidentally sunk his foot into the sand and touched a foreign object. It was discovered that it was a large and exquisite coral. There was actually a delicate wooden box hidden inside the coral. The box was filled with
Gold coins, silver coins and rare treasures.
Phoebus was so ecstatic that he stayed on the island for three months, searching frantically, and filled his schooner with 30 tons of gold, silver and jewelry. He realized his dream of getting rich.
For a time, many real and fake "treasure maps" came into being, flooded Europe, and were sold at high prices. Many wealthy people spent a lot of money to buy them without hesitation. As a result, many people were buried at the bottom of the sea, died suddenly on desert islands, or suffered misery.
After searching hard and disappearing for a long time, the pirate's legacy has become a mystery full of temptations.
However, Zhuang Rui is not very interested in these legends that have been circulated for centuries. Unless it is an uninhabited island, the treasures hidden on the island have long been emptied out after so many years. Where can they be found?
Is it his turn to go treasure hunting?
"Boss, I want to correct your statement. My ancestors were thieves, people like Robinson. They killed the rich and gave to the poor. How could there be so many treasures?"
Captain Clyde was in a good mood after finally being able to sail a ship to hunt for treasure. He didn't care how disrespectful Zhuang Rui's words were to his ancestors, and he also laughed and joked about his ancestors.
"Clyde, we are a salvage ship. We are going to the island to hunt for treasure. Isn't that asking blind questions? Let me tell you, I found a treasure map not long ago, which is about ocean shipwrecks..."
Zhuang Rui had actually already locked in on the destination of this salvage, but he still deliberately looked mysterious and took out a piece of yellowed parchment from his pocket.
"Navigation chart?"
The bearded captain snatched the parchment from Zhuang Rui's hand. After holding it for a while, he saw the doorway. This was a navigation chart that should have been used in the 16th and 17th centuries.
As the name suggests, nautical charts are nautical charts used for safe navigation and navigation positioning of ships.
The world's earliest ocean map is the Portland-type chart from the 14th to 17th centuries, which was specially used for navigation. The map is covered with radial bearing lines. Navigators can use these bearing lines and compasses to determine the position of the ship on the ocean at any time.
direction.
These nautical charts also detail coastlines, bays, islands, promontories, shoals, coastal mountains, and features that aid navigation.
The one Clyde is holding at this moment is a Portland-type chart, but it should be only half of it, and the picture on it has become a little blurry due to the passage of time.
Seeing Clyde's look as if he had found a treasure, Zhuang Rui secretly laughed and said: "Yes, this is a nautical chart, Captain Clyde, can you tell from the chart which sea area this is?
?”
"This should be a nautical chart from the late 16th or early 17th century. Judging from the chart, the sea area drawn should be the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, there is only half of it. I have to compare it with the nautical chart on the ship to find out...
Boss, the center point of this picture has been artificially marked. I believe it must be the location of a sunken ship or treasure..."
Clyde looked a little excited. You must know that when there is something specially marked on the nautical chart, it usually has extraordinary significance. It is either the location of the sunken ship or the lair of the pirates.
After saying these words, Clyde took a deep breath, looked at Zhuang Rui with a pleading expression, and then said: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely be able to find this in half an hour.
The exact coordinates of the sub-map are from..."
For thousands of years, treasures in the ocean have attracted countless treasure hunters and explorers. Even in the last century, once these so-called treasure maps were discovered, they would cause looting, especially in the eyes of Clyde, this nautical map
It is a priceless treasure.
"Ahem..."
Zhuang Rui coughed twice with a strange expression and said: "Captain Clyde, no problem, you can take this picture, but you must keep it properly and be careful not to damage it..."
"It will definitely not be damaged, boss, don't worry..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Clyde jumped up excitedly like a young boy. He carefully folded the sheepskin in his hand and put it in his pocket. When he turned around and went out, his right hand was always guarding the pocket.
, for fear of being robbed.
"Brother Zhuang, you...is that really what kind of nautical chart you have? When did you get it? Why haven't I heard you tell me about it?"
After Clyde left, Peng Fei looked at Zhuang Rui with suspicion. In the past few years, he and Zhuang Rui had spent more time together than Qin Xuanbing and Zhuang Rui, but he had never seen Zhuang Rui.
Did you show off this treasure map to him?
Zhuang Rui glanced at Peng Fei unhappily and said: "Nonsense, of course it's true. Have you ever seen Brother Zhuang fooling people with fake things? This thing was dug out of David's lair. You didn't pay attention at the time...
…”
"It's hard to say, Brother Zhuang, you didn't sleep all night last night..." Peng Fei muttered.
"Go away, you don't want me to be intimate with your sister-in-law? Damn it, what's wrong with your kid who kept listening to the wall yesterday?"
Zhuang Rui was furious when he heard this. He stood up and kicked Peng Fei. In fact, he was just guilty of being a thief. Peng Fei was right. Zhuang Rui had been tinkering all night just to make this nautical chart that could be faked.
