The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

In the movies and TV series filmed by Huaxia with the background of Daoguang and Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, until the last emperor Xuantong, the officials and ordinary people used either copper or silver in their daily lives. The silver was generally two-ended silver ingots and bars. Silver bars or broken silver like pebbles.

In fact, many of Yang's descriptions are wrong, because a large number of "Kappa" silver coins have entered China since the late Ming Dynasty. Some people have estimated that it was from 1550 to 1645, that is, from the 29th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty to Minghong. In the first year of Guangxi, the first year of Longwu; the second year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty; 14,000 tons of silver flowed into China from overseas, which was nearly 10 times that of China's self-produced silver during this period!

In the first five dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, it is estimated that there will be more inflows. Among them, "kabo" silver coins accounted for a large proportion, but at that time, China used transliteration to call it "pesos".

Since the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, wealthy people in the coastal areas of China have appeared in the hands of the double-column foreign with 90% fineness and basically constant weight. If the value is large when buying things, they prefer to use foreign materials with stable fineness when trading.

Zhang Nan maliciously speculates about this-those screenwriters and directors absolutely don't have his historical knowledge, plus some deliberate "historical needs", otherwise, what is the use of foreign silver dollars for you and me?

It is also estimated that traditional inertial thinking plus visual effects, such as Zhou Xingxing’s "Nine Pins of Sesame Officials", if silver dollars were used instead of silver bars to frame Master Bao, the effect would be more funny.

The last possibility is that the "Silver Ingot" props are easy to handle and low in cost. The difficulty of the silver dollar props is obviously much harder!

To put it bluntly for the benefit, all historical facts can be ignored.

A large number of silver coins appeared at the shipwreck location, which gave people great hope. Weta's journey is to explore the way. He didn't expect him to start salvaging in modern times. Deep sea salvage is a meticulous job. It is not enough to rely on a few atmospheric diving suits, and other equipment must be added.

It takes a long time and there are many things. Anyway, it is a lot of trouble and money.

Zhang Nan said to Zekou Jingzi: "The cost of equipment purchase is not included. The cost of the boat and the person is one or two million a month. The longer the delay, the greater the cost."

Upon hearing this, Sawaguchi Jingzi said: "Don't lose money."

Zhang Nan smiled at this, "Who knows, you can't lose the things below."

After speaking, he took the intercom and pressed the call button and said, "Weta, ignore the silver coins first. You can take a trip to the silt on the seabed and look at a few more places."

Release the call button and listen to Vita Bruno: "Understood, boss."

The armor-type atmospheric diving suit is not as convenient as ordinary diving suits. Every time you kneel to clean it with large pliers, you don't need two aluminum legs to go as fast as you can.

But the method of trip can only remove the thinner layer of silt on the top of the bed. You can see through the display that some silver coins are slid out, but more places are still silt.

Zhang Nan is not in a hurry. This ship has sunk for almost three hundred years. The wooden structure has been rotten early, and the cargo inside will sink. This has to be dug slowly.

Vita walked happily under the sea floor, a little laborious and didn't care, otherwise he could use those four propellers to move on the sea floor.

Happy trip, the more treasures the salvage company gets, the higher the bonuses for their employees. If this is the San Jose, then everyone can make a fortune this time.

Money gives people strength, Vita doesn't feel so tired on this leg, and it walks briskly.

Then…

The screen shook for a while, and everyone in the diving command room heard Vita's words: "Fuck!"

Everyone stood up in shock, Sawaguchi Yasuko even exclaimed: The human armor is clearly falling forward!

At this time, it was impossible to balance with the thrusters, and then there was muddy water stirred up by silt. Fortunately, Vita's voice could be heard.

There is also a sound, indicating that the diving suit has not broken at least, otherwise the water pressure energy of more than 20 times the atmospheric pressure will instantly kill him!

After a while, Vita finally stood up again, and Zhang Nan didn't want Vita to continue walking: he tripped on something, and then rushed forward after losing his balance.

The quality of hundreds of thousands of equipment is really good, at least this super large glass helmet is strong enough!

Zhang Nan asked him to return to the surface immediately to check whether the diving suit was damaged, but Vita wanted to figure out what was going on with him, which caused him to fall into a big horse at a depth of more than 200 meters!

I stopped going, manipulated the propellers on both sides, and turned around 360 degrees.

The agitated muddy water has dissipated, and something seems to be exposed on the seabed.

Weta knelt down on one knee again, and after a while, Zhang Nan in the command room listened to him: "Boss, it's like ore."

Zhang Nan can also see what it is through the display screen, "It's ore, maybe emerald ore, just this crystal mass...

This is too big! "

In addition to drug barons and rain forests, what are the local specialties of Colombia today?

Emerald!

The emeralds produced in Colombia are the best in the world, and the top goods can even sell for two to three million US dollars a carat!

Europe has always liked emeralds and designated it as a gem ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are far more people who like it than in the East.

The first known emeralds in Europe were produced in Egypt, but since the Spanish got emeralds in South America in the 16th century, Europeans threw the emeralds from Egypt to Siberia!

Today, Colombia is the world's largest producer of high-quality emeralds and almost monopolizes the international market. The emeralds that can account for 80% of the world's total production of high-quality emeralds are world-renowned for their good color, good texture, and large output.

The Spaniards began to mine emerald mines in Colombia from the middle of the 16th century until those mines became Colombian state in 1886.

110 boxes of emeralds, or rough crystals mined at the beginning of the 18th century: Colombian emeralds are mainly produced in the calcite and feldspar veins of the sedimentary rock series. The gems packed in boxes will first remove the calcite around the crystals, leaving only an average of two or three centimeters. Length of emerald columnar crystals.

No matter how big or how many boxes there are, the Spaniards will not use thick iron plates to make boxes. They probably use wooden boxes.

The wood was rotten, and it was impossible for those small crystals to trip Vita in the armored diving suit.

But there are no absolutes!

It was a piece of emerald ore that tripped him just now. It looked like an ore weighing tens of kilograms: it was not a crystal that weighed tens of kilograms, but it was an ore. Now in 1992, the largest emerald crystal found was more than 7,000 carats.

This group of Spaniards almost 300 years ago came in disorder. The stones the size of a few large watermelons are "the stones are embedded with several interlaced emerald crystals."

This is an ore, not a rough stone.

The Spaniards are lazy, why don't they remove the excess calcite?

Probably because the few crystals above are big enough to be transported back to offer treasures to the king.
