"This is already a giant beast in the sea." Looking at the giant turtle carcass hanging in front of him, Hu Bayi couldn't help but sigh.
Unlike other creatures, the body shape of turtles often does not exceed the carapace, so it is easy to estimate the size before birth.
With its thick carapace and huge size, this turtle skeleton could have been called a biological tank during its lifetime.
The performance on land is not yet known, but in the sea it is definitely a killer.
If an ordinary ship encountered it, it would be difficult for it to withstand the collision of this giant turtle.
"Giant objects emerge from the deep sea. Nowadays, people's exploration of the ocean is still very superficial. It is not surprising that such things appear." Chen Ziyan said lightly.
However, the meaning behind his words was obvious. He also agreed with Hu Bayi's statement that the turtle carcass in front of him was definitely a giant beast in the sea.
Then Chen Ziyan turned his attention to the coffin carried by the turtle skeleton. Compared to the clearly visible turtle skeleton, this weird coffin attracted him more.
After taking a closer look, Chen Ziyan discovered that the reason why the coffin was gray-white was not only due to being in the deep sea all year round, which resulted in a layer of mottled gray-white coral polyps attached to it. Is the material of the coffin itself also similar in color? That's why he looked at it.
It looks like a gray-white sarcophagus.
"Wait...this feeling..."
After the coffin and the turtle skeleton were dropped on the deck, Chen Ziyan took a few steps forward and slowly placed his fingers on it.
And when the cool touch spread from his fingertips to his brain, he immediately realized something was wrong.
Because the texture of the stone is not like this, although the surface of the sarcophagus is somewhat rough, Chen Ziyan can clearly tell that this roughness is caused by the coral polyps on it, not from the sarcophagus itself.
As for the parts without debris, Chen Ziyan felt like...
Just as Chen Ziyan was thinking about it, Wang Kaixuan next to him suddenly said: "Eh? Mr. Chen, Lao Hu, why does this thing look so similar to the green heads we received?"
A word to wake up the dreamer!
Chen Ziyan, who had already figured it out, instantly thought of the answer.
That's right, Qingtou.
The material of the sarcophagus in front of me is very similar to those jade products produced in the sea.
In fact, he had already thought of this subconsciously, but because he had not come into contact with many antiquities from the sea before, especially jade products, and he only had close contact with the box of green heads, he did not think of it at the first time.
"Could it be that this is a jade coffin?" Hu Ba suddenly looked at Chen Ziyan.
If this is the case, this is really an unexpected surprise.
If the coffin is made of stone, it would have historical significance at most, but if such a large coffin is made of jade, it would be of great value in itself.
"It's possible." Chen Ziyan nodded gently to him.
Although more detailed verification is needed, based on the delicate touch hidden under the roughness, Chen Ziyan is already 60 to 70% sure that the coffin in front of him is a jade coffin.
"How much is such a big jade coffin worth?" Wang Kaixuan's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at the coffin.
"Priceless treasure." After pondering for a moment, Chen Ziyan slowly spit out these four words.
This is not nonsense on his part, but a judgment based on the material of the coffin and its possible historical value.
"Priceless treasure..." Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan's face suddenly fell.
He is most afraid of hearing this word now, because Chen Ziyan usually does not sell treasures of this value, but only puts them in museums.
Although the museum also owns a small amount of his shares, those dividends are nothing compared to the price of the direct sale.
"Look, there seems to be something on this coffin and the tortoise shell."
Chen Ziyan was about to say something to comfort Wang Kaixuan, but before he could speak, Shirley Yang's voice suddenly sounded, attracting his attention.
Is there something on the coffin?
He really didn't notice this when he was just studying the material of the coffin.
Seeing Chen Ziyan and the others looking at him, Shirley Yang, who came to the side of the coffin at some unknown time, pointed to the coffin in front of her: "See for yourselves."
Chen Ziyan walked over and took a look, and found that there were indeed some traces of artificial carvings in the vaguely exposed parts of the coffin. However, there was a lot of dirt on the coffin, and it was impossible to see clearly what they were.
But this is easy to handle. In order to deal with such a situation, the ship is equipped with corresponding equipment that can pump water directly from the sea for flushing.
When the faucet of the water pipe was turned on, a powerful stream of water fell on the coffin.
After seeing the water in the water pipe, although it had a slight ink color, most of it was still the original color. Chen Ziyan knew that his previous guess was correct. The ink black on the sea surface was the oil carbon on the seabed.
But this thought just passed away, and he looked at the coffin the next moment.
