Chapter 172 Silver Mountain

Han Peacock knew that the simulated turtle had begun to accept control, so he no longer cared about what the turtle did. He just wanted to swim to the entrance of the sunken ship.

Due to time constraints, Han Kongque's purpose was very clear. He went directly to the bottom of the cabin. If there was heavy cargo, it would usually be placed on the bottom of the boat as a ballast bottom.

The ship sustained itself in strong winds and waves for more than five hours, so the hull was severely damaged. Han Peacock could clearly see the huge scars on the hull under the illumination of a diving light.

There are huge impact marks on the bow and both sides of the hull, which shows that it is not easy for the ship to break out of the reef area.

Because it is a giant steel object, the interior of the ship was not seriously damaged. All cabins inside the ship's hull were opened, which greatly facilitated Han Peacock.

He didn't know if this was the Daiichi Maru, but Han Kongque discovered that the structure of this ship was the same as the Daiichi Maru, so he easily entered this behemoth, which was more than a hundred meters long.

The ship turned over, and one of the exposed sides was completely broken. Han Kongque couldn't imagine what kind of experiences this ship had experienced back then.

Although there was a crack that could go directly into the ship, Han Peacock still followed the predicted route. If he entered the ship directly through the crack, he would easily get lost because he did not understand the situation inside the ship, which would waste more time.

Thanks to the help of the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, the Korean Peacock has no resistance in the water, and it is more convenient than on land.

With the help of the ubiquitous sea water, Han Peacock's speed was much faster than on land. He quickly passed through a cabin, and after he opened a hatch, he entered the ship's bottom warehouse.

This ship is probably the Daihinimaru, otherwise the internal structure of the cabin would not be the same as the Daihinimaru.

If this is really the Dainimaru, whether there is any treasure here depends on this warehouse.

Using brute force to break open a rotten dark window, Han Peacock successfully entered the interior of the warehouse.

Han Kongque stared blankly at the warehouse under the light, as if he was in a silver world. It turned out that the entire warehouse floor was paved with silver bricks. There were even some gold bricks.

In the spacious cabin, there are large winter melons placed one after another. Under the illumination of the diving light, each one shines with silver light, and they are all made of silver.

These silver winter melons are very heavy. One may weigh hundreds of kilograms. Korean peacocks have heard of such silver winter melons. They were specially made by big businessmen during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This can effectively prevent thieves and robbers from plundering.

Of course, facing the big thieves who openly broke into the bank, those big businessmen and big families were helpless.

Obviously, it was absolutely impossible for the Japanese in 1935 to honestly obtain such treasury silver through commercial means.

There are densely packed silver winter melons on display, and I can’t even count them at once. In addition to the silver winter melons, there are also many golden winter melons.

Not only that, there were densely packed boxes and cages nearby. Han Kongque took advantage of the benefits of the sea water to easily move a few boxes. Some of them could not be opened. Han Kongque did not violently dismantle them. After all, they would all belong to him in the future.

Some of them could obviously be opened easily. After Han Kongque opened them, he found that they were full of pearls, agates and gemstone jewelry.

Of course, there are many Korean peacocks that I have never seen but heard about. It can be said that there are endless treasures here, from the north, from the south, from overseas, from China, and from foreign countries. For a time, the peacocks from Korea were dazzled.

Eye.

Han Peacock lifted a silver winter melon casually. Even with the help of sea water, he still felt it was difficult.

Han Peacock took a sip of sea water, and then squirted it out, but he was very surprised: "What a big winter melon, and it's also silver..."

Han Peacock looked at this dazzling underwater world, his expression straightened, and his eyes opened. Hundreds of kilograms of golden winter melons and silver winter melons were piled up in a chaotic manner, forming a mountain of gold and silver.

I saw golden winter melons and silver winter melons stacked on top of each other, and gold and silver bricks scattered randomly everywhere. The most shocking thing was the mountains of silver piled up.

They were larger round silver nuggets. Han Kongque knew that these might be the ghosts in the legend.

Each of these ghosts weighs more than a thousand pounds, and even ghosts will worry about how to move them away.

Looking at so many silver mountains, Han Kongque had already concluded that this was the Dainichi Maru, because among the large cruise ships missing on this route, only the Dainichi Maru matched this ship.

This cruise ship went from Qinhuang Island to Naha Port, and then to San Francisco, the United States. The jewelry and gold bricks that wanted to come here were shipped back to Japan, but the large quantities of silver winter melons and ghosts were definitely shipped to the United States.

of.

Han Peacock picked up a gold brick. The gold brick was about thirty centimeters long, fifteen centimeters wide, and almost ten centimeters thick.

Such a gold brick weighs more than 50 kilograms. Now a 25 kilogram gold brick is worth about 8 million yuan. In other words, every gold brick in this cabin costs more than 8 million yuan.

Han Peacock looked at the gold bricks scattered on the bottom of the boat, but what he saw was definitely no less than a hundred. At this time, Han Peacock smiled bitterly, the birth of such a batch of wealth would definitely cause chaos.

Thinking of this, Han Peacock immediately started to take action. He saw whirlpools appearing one after another in the originally calm warehouse. When a vortex wrapped around a gold brick, the gold brick would disappear into the mysterious sky together with the seawater forming the vortex.

Among the Yuankong water flags.

With the help of the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, Han Peacock's magical power of water control has almost no limits. It can be said that as long as he wants, he can continuously control the sea water here.

Han Peacock first collected the boxes in the sea water. Fortunately, most of these boxes were copper-clad boxes, so these boxes had not rotted after being soaked in sea water for so many years.

After collecting the box, Han Peacock collected the scattered gold and silver bricks. Now all that was left were the big silver winter melons and Gui Jianchou.

The number of ghosts is not too many. Han Peacock is slightly behind, there are only seventy or eighty, but these are only forty or fifty tons.

There are a lot of silver winter melons left. I heard that these traitors in China got them back from trading with the Manchus and Mongolia.

Because the distance from the grassland to their hometown was too long, they came up with such a way to make such round things. It was difficult to move and had bad luck. Not to mention robbers, even they

It's not easy to transport yourself.

After the big businessmen brought these things back to their hometown, they all hid them in the mouse holes in their homes. During the war, they were plundered by the Japanese.

There are hundreds of silver winter melons here. Even if one weighs two hundred kilograms, these silver winter melons weigh more than fifty tons. These silver winter melons look like a lot, but they are actually not that much.

According to the following relevant records, at that time, each of the big merchants in Shan, Xi, Shaanxi, Xi and other places had a wealth of millions of taels of silver. Some big merchants had accumulated wealth for hundreds or even hundreds of years, and tens of millions of taels were worth it.

Can get it.

Back then, when the Japanese raided homes, they always looked for big businessmen. All such businesses had deep financial backgrounds. If each family received two million taels of silver, how many tons of silver would two million taels be?

At that time, it was only sixteen taels per catty. Although one tael weighed less than fifty grams, a catty at that time weighed more than 600 grams.

From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, one pound was equal to 596.82 grams, and one tael was equal to 37.30 grams.

Two million taels is 7.46 million grams, 7460 kilograms, which is 7.46 tons. It can be seen that the big landowners and businessmen in the Qing Dynasty were very wealthy.

During Japan's invasion of China, the Japanese who entered China were all China hands. They knew this situation very well, so every time they occupied a place, the Japanese would plunder it.

Almost all the gold and silver collected were shipped back to Japan. This was also an important reason why Japan's economy recovered so quickly after World War II.

It took Han Peacock an hour to collect all the gold and silver in the bilge, and then he wandered around the cabin for another hour, almost visiting all the cabins.

Since it is a cruise ship going directly to the United States, it is just a transshipment of goods when entering Qinhuang Island. Therefore, apart from some cotton and silk, there are only some valuable porcelains on the ship. However, these porcelains are not good things. They are all from folk kilns.

of ordinary goods.

Of course, there were no official kilns after the Qing Dynasty, and the porcelain here can be regarded as the finest among private kilns, otherwise it would not have been transported all the way back to China by the Japanese, or exported to the United States.

After all, at that time, the Japanese were already very advanced in ordinary porcelain technology. A large part of the porcelain imported from the United States was monopolized by the Japanese. If the Japanese did not have it, the Japanese would not plunder the porcelain from China and transport it back to the country.

Therefore, Han Peacock did not dislike this kind of porcelain, but because there were too many, Han Peacock just collected some intact ones.

After a storm, there were not many complete porcelain on the ship. After Han Peacock searched it, all that was left were fragments.

Of course, due to time constraints, Han Peacock did not have the opportunity to visit all the cabins. In this case, there must be something missing from other cabins, but Han Peacock couldn't care less at this time. The bulk of it was already in his pocket, and he always

Leave some leftovers for others.

There was not much crew on this ship, and there was not much cargo. Han Kongque wandered around the ship for two hours, but he only came across the bones of a dozen crew members, which were packed in the two cabins of the cargo cabin.

This shows that the ship should be loaded with cargo after returning to Japan, which also reduces Japan's losses.

When there was really no time, Han Kongque left the ship and returned to the salvage ship.

When he returned, he met the simulated turtle. Due to the obstruction of the data line, the turtle could not go deep into the cabin and could only wander around the outside. However, even so, Song Min and the others obtained a lot of information.

Seeing the steel wire mesh put down by Song Min, Han Kongque thought for a while and decided not to use it. After successfully returning to the boat and changing into his own clothes, Han Kongque discovered that everyone in the boat was using a strange

Looking at him. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
