The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

At the beginning, the crew and passengers on the "Taixing" should exceed two thousand people. This is the data given by nearly 200 survivors who were rescued. More than 1,800 people were killed in the shipwreck. This wooden ship 90 years earlier than the Titanic The big sailing ship hit the rocks, causing more casualties than the death toll on the dream big ship!

Many people aboard the Titanic, with the dream of going to the New World and starting a new life, boarded the big steel ship; why not the passengers on the Taixing made of giant wood, left the Qing Dynasty rule and went to Southeast Asia to find a new life.

Times are different, big ships are different, dreams are the same, and the same tragic ending...

168 years have passed, no one can figure out the exact number of people killed at that time, let alone the surname or name.

There was no record of the ship’s voyage in the archives of the Qing court’s shipping department, because Xiamen-Men at that time may have lost the qualification for official export of materials.

Some people even suspected that the ship left Fujian Province by smuggling or smuggling. This situation was very common in the southeast coast during the Daoguang period-just one Guangzhou 13 line, which is enough for the interests of maritime merchants. Besides, Fujian Province has always been. There is a tradition of maritime trade, and the entanglement of interests is complicated.

At this time, Zhang Nan and others looked serious. Xiang Weirong stood in the middle of the first row, with Zhang Nan on the left and Guan Xingquan on the right.

Sacrifice, I have to say a few words.

Zhang Nan doesn’t speak Hokkien or Hakka. Fortunately, there is a man on the cargo ship who grew up in Fujian Province in his childhood and adolescence. Let him come: If he speaks Mandarin, he has been floating in this sea for 168 years. How many people in's soul can understand?

As for Thomas, Randy and others, their expressions were equally solemn, each holding a flower in his hand, and Mark and Jacob also carrying a huge flower wreath.

As for what to say, just follow what Zhang Nan reminded, and the general idea is: Dear Chinese ancestors, this time we are here to collect treasures and disturb everyone's peace. Please enjoy the special sacrifices. I hope you can forgive me.

This sea area is currently not under the management of China, and if we don’t take it away, it will be plundered by Fanbang.

Most of the treasures obtained from this salvage will be sold to the people of Fanbang. Anyway, these goods were originally exported. Please forgive me for the owner.

If you want to return to the roots of the fallen leaves, if you have the spirit, you can put it on your personal belongings. No matter how valuable this part is, I and other treasure hunters will not be greedy for ink. After sorting it out, it will be sent back to China within a year.

God, Shinto, only the buddy himself understands these words, what Fanbang or what, even Zhang Nan didn’t understand what he said, let alone Thomas, the blond, redhead, blue-eyed, and green-eyed Fanbangers. NS.

Hokkien, this dialect is also super difficult to understand, and outsiders are like listening to the heavenly scriptures.

The guy gestured to one side and finished speaking. A group of people held incense and worshipped three times, and then put the incense in a large mud basin that was used as an incense burner.

There are also several large iron buckets in front, burning paper and ingots.

Thomas and others were there praying, wishing the deceased rest in peace, and then throwing flowers and wreaths into the sea.

The commemorative ceremony is thus completed, remove the incense and put it aside, wait for it to automatically extinguish, and then eat!

Yes, it's noon, dinner.

There are a lot of people, and there are restaurants and kitchen boxes in the container barracks on the decks. Everyone has three waves and one wave is on duty. The other two groups go to the ship building and the small restaurant inside the container to eat.

The sacrifices must also be eaten. The nine bowls of vegetables are meat and vegetable. This will be on the table in front of Zhang Nan.

The cooked pig's head and the cooked rooster are chopped and cut open by the kitchen, and they will be eaten directly after serving. As for the big knife, after cutting it again in the kitchen, it was copied back into the pot.

In Zhang Nan's hometown, the tradition has always been that the sacrifices are eaten by the living people after the sacrifice, and it is not good to waste food.

The Qingming Festival and Winter Solstice, for the children, are not only a traditional education, but also an opportunity to feast on them. If there are few direct relatives in the family, you can also invite several collateral relatives to come.

Although the collateral relatives will not participate in the sacrifice, they can also enjoy the sacrifices together after the sacrifice. If a friend came just that day, avoid it during the sacrifice, and you can also have a meal afterwards.

I heard from the elders that when they were still able to sacrifice in the ancestral hall, the sacrifices were also the last to be eaten.

The 9 large bowls are basically meat dishes. It is probably understandable why they are eaten last in the tradition. In the past, there were not many opportunities to eat meat dishes like this.

Although the lone souls in this sea are not the ancestors of people like Zhang Nan, they are all Chinese and can be regarded as a family. It makes sense to eat the sacrifices.

Don't eat it, throw it away?

...

After eating, this can do business.

The Big Shark is large enough to be used as a container and bulk cargo ship, so it is very convenient to install equipment.

There is a submarine radar, but it was useless this time: the water is too shallow ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ it was useless at first.

Captain Jamie Bostwick introduced the large number of diving equipment used this time and said: "This trip is very lucky. Our 20 frogmen only searched for a day to find the exact location. The wreck of the sunken ship is very well preserved. , Surrounded by coral..."

Thirty meters in front of the cargo ship, two small boats were working. Standing on the bow, they clearly saw the divers in wetsuits turning over and disembarking.

There is a large pipeline connected to the pump on the deck of the cargo ship. This is to remove the sediment on the sunken ship and send it directly to the sea downstream of the current by the pipeline.

"...When the cargo hold is opened, the Great Shark will stop directly above the sunken ship, so the crane will be much faster."

Hearing this, Zhang Nan asked: "How deep is the water over there?"

"30 meters."

When Captain Jamie said, Zhang Nan shook his head inwardly.

I thought it was about five or six meters deep here, but I didn't think that there was a cliff in front of me. I wanted to go down there to see the shipwreck site and completely dispelled it.

I can’t swim and stay away from the water, but I have dug an unknown number of ancient tombs and ruins on the road for two lifetimes, but I have never fished under the water: the bronze weapons from the battlefield are not counted, they were dug out by machines.

There are a group of professional divers, and people who are said to be incapable of swimming in shallow water can also play a game. Originally, Zhang Nan wanted to overcome his fear of water and go into the water to see the bottom of the sea.

Within 18 meters, healthy adults can try after a certain amount of training. Once it exceeds this depth, it is best not to try.

It's better now. The depth of the water is 30 meters, and people who have received a certain amount of diving training can go down. Like brother-in-law and Guan, they probably won't go into the water to try diving at this depth.

There are many talents in the joint force, and there are many professional divers. This depth is a small meaning.
