Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

The reason that led to the final sinking of the steel behemoth was that it was blasted through by some kind of weapon, forming a huge tear in the middle, which then caused the steel behemoth to tilt, and finally remained on the seabed forever.

And that massive wealth also disappeared from the world. If Li Mo hadn't discovered it, there might never have been a chance to see the light of day again. Unless it is a sea change, the sea bed will rise to lift it out.

Following Li Mo's instructions, a diving soldier slowly approached, then turned back to the camera and made an OK gesture, which meant that the crack was large and could allow people to enter and exit safely and smoothly.

"Pay attention to safety and enter carefully first to check."

Under Li Mo's command, four people entered the interior of the hull through the huge gap. Under the light, they saw many sea fish emerging in panic and swimming around.

"Academician Li, when you look at that shot, it seems that you have entered the living dormitory space."

Li Mo saw many things that looked like beds through the lens, and then found suspected skeletons. After being on the seabed for decades, it was covered by seafloor silt. Even though it was corroded by many seafloor microorganisms, some remains were preserved.

"No. 6, lead the people forward."

"Copy that, Academician Li."

No. 6 swam forward with four people.

"No. 6, swim forward and to the right."

"Copy that, Academician Li."

Under Li Mo's command, the five people swam forward for more than thirty meters.

"No. 6, stop. Can you search the surrounding area and see if you can find an entrance?"

"Copy that, Academician Li."

Leader No. 6 was suspended in the sea water, and then the light scanned around, and soon he swam three meters to the left.

"Academician Li, this looks like an entrance, but it's covered in mud and I don't have the tools to open it."

Li Mo glanced around and found that the location he was looking for was wrong, but it was three meters to the right.

"Leader No. 6, swim three or four meters to the right to see if you make any new discoveries."

"Copy that, Academician Li."

Team leader No. 6 started again and stopped when they were almost above the entrance to the warehouse.

"No. 6, feel around below to see if you can find anything in the mud. I think I just saw some reflection."

Leader No. 6 looked down, then turned over and swam downwards. He reached out and grabbed a pole to support his body and prevent it from floating up. Following Li Mo's instructions, he reached out and touched the mud, and then. . . Then he really touched something, a slender and round object, which brought up mud when he picked it up. The seawater in front of him was turbid and blurry, and nothing could be seen.

Team leader No. 6 floated up a little distance, and then looked at the thing in his hand. Even through the screen, he could see the golden reflection. It turned out to be a gold stick about one meter long and about the thickness of an adult's wrist.

Everyone watching the screen in the cabin exclaimed. They actually found a stick made of gold in the mud. Where did it come from? Are there more over there?

"Academician Li, is this real gold?"

"Hahaha, it should be so. Captain No. 6, you are very lucky. Just touch around from where you were just now to see if you can still find anything good."

With the first golden stick, there was soon a second golden stick. . The third root

In fact, that location is the entrance to the cargo hold. Perhaps due to the big explosion, the entrance cover has been damaged, and everything in the cargo hold has been thrown out. If you touch the muddy water around the entrance, you will definitely make a fortune.

Li Mo got up and walked outside. As he walked, he stretched and said, "I have gained a lot today."

The sun outside is still very hot, but because of the sea breeze, the humid wind is not so hot on the body. Li Mo stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the two ships cruising in the distance. He thought to himself that the country had really made a great effort this time, but this time the harvest would be greater than before.

Qiu Guangyao and Qin Sijun also came out and brought a bottle of mineral water to Li Mo.

Li Mo opened it and took a sip and said with a smile: "How about it? Isn't this kind of salvage scene quite fun?"

"There's a lot of anticipation right now."

"Tomorrow you will be surprised first, then shocked, and finally numb. After all kinds of wealth and treasures are continuously salvaged, you will become very calm. When you meet other people when you land ashore, you will put this time into perspective. I treat my experience as a kind of capital and brag about it every day, making them envious and jealous.”

Qiu Guangyao and Qin Sijun looked at each other and burst into laughter. This was really going to happen. In the army, I usually like to brag about everything when there is nothing to do. If I can seize a good opportunity this time, I will not brag for many years.

"Li Mo, aren't you excited?" Qin Sijun asked curiously when he saw his calm reaction.

"When you see too much, in your eyes, those things are almost like lumps of mud." Li Mo had just returned from the north, so there was nothing exciting about it. Besides, in the past ten years or so, haven't he found many gold treasures yet?

Although a lot of information has been deliberately blocked by the authorities, anyone who has reached a certain level knows that in terms of gold reserves alone, China is definitely the number one in the world. The more strategic-level resources there are, the more solid the country's economic fundamentals are and the stronger it is against risks.

So fundamentally speaking, Li Mo's contribution to the country is unimaginably great. This is why the officials respect his ideas in many cases.

Qiu Guangyao was stunned for a long time before he said in a dumbfounded voice: "Is this the highest state of treating money as dirt?"

"Brother Qiu, you have no chance. If you had the chance to cooperate with me, you would have reached my level long ago."

"No, I'm just a layman, and I'm quite interested in money." Qiu Guangyao thought for a moment and whispered, "Li Mo, let me tell you something. Your sister-in-law has a birthday in a few days, and I still have a jadeite stone at home. , you go back and choose a piece from me, I don’t need money, just give me some antique jewelry. The style and workmanship quality of the pieces you collected must have been top-notch at the time, and they would look noble when worn, twice as much. Have a face."

After Li Mo finished drinking a bottle of water, he turned to look at him and said angrily: "Brother Qiu, aren't you slapping me in the face? You should have told me about this earlier. It's just a big deal. This thing in our house At most, when Sirui comes home from the trip, I will ask her to choose a few sets for her sister-in-law to send over. What are the things that are free of charge, tacky, you are too tacky. "

"Hahaha, I'm just a layman." Qiu Guangyao rubbed his hands, still a little embarrassed. Every piece of antique jewelry Li Mo collects at home is valuable, and it may cost hundreds of thousands to be cheap.

Qin Sijun patted Qiu Guangyao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Qiu, if you are really embarrassed to accept it, our Chu Li will not be so shameless as to ask Sirui for it in the future."

"If you say that, I have to accept it."

The three of them laughed again.

Antique jewelry, especially gold jewelry, was only 80% or 70% gold in ancient times. Those who know the goods will naturally value it. People who don't know the goods will just melt it down and make new jewelry.

The work on the seabed went smoothly. After all, there were experienced people leading the team. The main task on the first day was to explore the outside. Then a few people tried to enter the cabin to explore the situation.

We came up to rest three times during the journey. It was around three o'clock in the afternoon before we gradually came up and boarded the ship.

"Li Mo, look at these fifteen golden sticks, they should be cast from the same mold. We don't know yet if there are any missing ones on the outside."

Qin Sijun placed the stick made of gold on the table. The surface was rough and it was said to be round, but in fact it was not completely round.

Li Mo picked up a gold stick and weighed it, then threw it on the table and asked, "That should be the entrance to the warehouse."

"Yes, the people who went down have reported in detail. That is the entrance to the warehouse, but the door of the entrance has not been completely opened. If it is not removed, we cannot enter the warehouse to explore."

Qin Sijun presented the collected information one by one.

"If the sunken ship is salvaged, there are a hundred ways to destroy it. But if it is on the bottom of the sea, it will be very difficult to remove the cover of the cargo hold entrance. Fortunately, the sunken ship has been at the bottom of the sea for eighty or ninety years. Over time, it has almost been severely corroded by sea water. I am strong, if not, I will go down tomorrow and violently remove the cover of the warehouse entrance."

"Don't, don't, don't, what a big deal. We all have saws and tools. We can easily do it at a glance when we reach the bottom of the sea. You are the sea-fixing needle, so just stay on the boat and take command."

Qiu Guangyao waved his hand, "Are you kidding? If you can't fix the entrance cover, wouldn't it be a big joke?"

Shatou walked into the cabin at this time and said respectfully: "Boss, there was a call from Kyoto, saying that the official media will arrive early tomorrow morning."

"Why did you come here without telling us in advance? This is not on land."

Li Mo frowned slightly. He didn't really have any objections to the official media coming over. The main reason was that this was the sea. When the wind and waves came, the salvage ship would rise and fall. Which media people could withstand such a working environment?

Don't leave after half a day without being able to hold on.

"Shave your head and let them wait a week before boarding the ship."

"Okay, I'll contact you right away."

Qiu Guangyao asked strangely: "Why does it take a week?"

"Starting tomorrow, we will salvage gold treasures, rough diamonds, etc. from the cargo hold. After these are transported away, they will board the ship for interviews."

It turns out that, according to Li Mo's speculation, the gold treasures in the sunken steel beast are very huge. After being salvaged, these will be transported to the national treasury and nationalized. It was really inappropriate for those media people to come and take pictures of that scene, so we couldn't let them come. "

This is Li Mo's home court, and he has the final say in everything.

The next day, the salvage team of more than 200 people was divided into two groups. Their main task today was to open the lid of the warehouse entrance, then enter the cargo hold, and begin to salvage the gold and other treasures inside in an orderly manner.

This process will be very slow, and even a week may not be enough to empty all the warehouses. Fortunately, things are relatively quiet under the sea, and the salvage work is proceeding steadily.

Every time a batch of gold is salvaged, it will be counted by dedicated people on the merchant ship, and then repackaged into new boxes. These all belong to the country and no mistakes can be made.

In about a week, the gold boss came out with nearly 40 tons and 80 tons of silver. These are not eye-catching numbers, but the number of various gold items, jewelry and jade items is really scary. So far, 14 items have been counted. A terrifying number of 10,000 pieces, and the count has not yet been completed.

Of course, there are also some defective and damaged pieces of antique jewelry, but they can be repaired and put on display normally.

The small merchant ship with a small tonnage sailed towards the port under the protection of the ship. As for the jewelry, they were all piled on the Gu Yunxuan salvage ship. 80% of the items inside were style elements from Southeast Asian countries. With their participation, in the future, The Southeast Asian Art and Culture Museum campus built on the edge of the Magic City can be greatly supplemented.

"Boss, the superior asked again, can the media board the ship tomorrow?"

"Who asked?"

It was definitely not Qin Yali who asked. If she was really anxious, she would have directly asked herself to answer the phone. Why would she have to ask Shatou repeatedly about it.

"The new head of the Cultural Affairs Bureau also wants to board the ship with the media."

This was probably the reason why he was anxious. It turned out to be the first thing that made him famous when he took office. He wanted to use the limelight of salvaging the sunken treasure to make himself more visible in front of the people of the country, so that he could find a sense of presence.

Li Mo thought for a moment and said: "The superior leader is here to guide the work. If he wants to come, let him come. But the sea is not as good as the land. There is really a hurricane here, and the salvage ships here may not be able to escape unscathed. . After explaining the problem clearly to them, if you still want to come over, let them come."

"good."

"By the way, everyone has been working continuously for seven days. Let's take a good rest starting tomorrow."

Li Mo gave an order and shouted. The people around him were secretly happy. If everyone rested, the media from Kyoto could only take some ordinary pictures. They wanted to borrow Dongfeng, but they didn't expect that Dongfeng was so good. borrowed.

"Li Mo, wouldn't this be bad?"

When Qin Sijun saw Li Mo's arrangement, he knew that he was a little angry.

"What's wrong?" Li Mo didn't care about the other party's background. If there was a need for the media to be present, he would take the initiative to apply. Since the other party insists on coming over without invitation, how can I give them a good look?

Qiu Guangyao looked at Qin Sijun and shook his head. Li Mo was not an impulsive person. If the people from Kyoto were to come to Nanhai, they must report to their superiors. If Qin Yali thinks there is no problem, she will take the initiative to contact Li Mo.

But Qin Yali hasn't called her until now. Although she hasn't contacted her once, Li Mo has already guessed what she wanted to convey from such a calm atmosphere.

That is, the new person in charge of the Cultural Affairs Bureau is not on the same page as her.
