Chapter 115: Accident (3)
Just a glance made Li Ming's adrenaline soar rapidly.
He even danced and danced under the sea with excitement.
Because the appearance of cannons means that the wreckage is located somewhere nearby.
If these five bronze cannons on the seabed are salvaged, they will at least be cultural relics.
Recreational yachts like Explorer are not suitable for participating in this heavy-duty boss' work. Li Ming now does not have ready-made salvage equipment, which is in his original plan;
First, we must first find the wreckage of the wreck. Only by determining the location of the wreck and then completing the salvage ship.
The cost of a salvage boat is much more expensive, and that guy starts at a cost of 100,000 US dollars at a time.
And on the way, every day there are white money.
If you bring that thing at the beginning, the cost of Li Ming's treasure hunt would be infinitely increased.
Even though he has tens of millions in his card, it won’t last long to spend it.
At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room were also very excited to see Da Cannon;
Silent on the seabed, this is a very beautiful 18-pound cannon, which is a long-soldier cannon commonly used by Western warships around the 17th century.
The excited Li Ming couldn't help but reach out and touch the huge cannon barrel in front of him. Unfortunately, there were more hidden things attached to it.
Because it has been soaked in the sea water for a long time, the maritime killer that was once extremely powerful hundreds of years ago has been wrapped in green rust and spots of mud and dirt.
But he couldn't help but exclaim:
"Brothers, aren't the things beautiful? The projectiles fired by this bronze naval gun are basically above 1 kilometer, and the farthest can reach 2.5 kilometers.
"And this 18-pound bronze cannon is very famous in our Chinese history!"
"It has another very loud name - the Red Cannon."
Many male viewers in the live broadcast room are history enthusiasts, and they still have heard of the famous red cannons in history.
Boys dormitory of a Northwestern university’s history school;
Zhang Chong and a group of buddies in the same dormitory looked at the bronze cannon under the sea in the notebook picture, and the mouths of several people were wide open into circles.
A boy stood up excitedly and shouted:
"Damn, this thing is so cool!"
After all, they are all college students majoring in history, so a few boys immediately started to discuss it enthusiastically.
"Hehe, this anchor is still a bit lacking in culture. This red cannon is also called the Shenwei General, and it is also the name given to Emperor Chongzhen!"
"It's a pity that the scum of Pidao later surrendered to the enemy and gave the artillery technology to Huang Taiji. The Ming Dynasty finally launched a dimensional reduction attack, but was sold by a traitor. It's really sad!"
......
Zhang Liang was also very excited at this time. They had many nerds in history, and this treasure hunting live broadcast room was recommended to his roommates.
After watching it for a few days, everyone in the dormitory became Li Ming's fans.
Zhang Liang saw that the topic was a bit far from it and quickly reminded him.
"Don't go astray. Do you think this anchor can find a Spanish shipwreck?"
The boy sleeping in his lower bunk thought for a while and said:
"To be honest, I don't think the possibility is very high. He is mainly a person who fights alone. This is his biggest flaw at present. We all know that many times humans cannot peek at a corner of the ocean in their entire lives."
Another boy also echoed: "The vast ocean is the biggest problem in finding shipwrecks. It occupies 70.8% of the area of the earth's ocean... This is why so many people can find complete shipwrecks, which is both costly and laborious."
"For example, if it costs 100 yuan to find a tomb on the ground, then looking for a shipwreck under the sea will take millions of dollars. The most terrible thing is not money, but time cost!"
"And these naval guns should be part of the Spanish shipwreck. The wreckage that was sunk by the hurricane must have been blown away, so some of them fell here."
"According to normal shipwreck simulations, cannons are generally on the upper deck and cargo is on the lower level, so when the wooden sails sink, the cargo should be pressed down by cannons."
"And the average wind speed of tropical hurricanes in the Caribbean Sea is generally more than 250 kilometers per hour. The sinking locations of these guns cannot represent the location of the final wreckage. I think this anchor needs to mark the location of the recently salvaged things on the navigation chart, and then mark the lines and divide the areas to expand the search."
"As such a vast ocean, even hundreds or thousands of people can't improve much efficiency."
The mass of such a bronze cannon in front of me was more than 1 ton, and the section at the tail of the cannon was deeply trapped in the gravel of the seabed;
Li Ming pushed hard with his hands, but the cannon did not move at all;
Such funny behavior actually made the audience in the live broadcast room feel very happy.
"About 1620, the British East India Company's "Unicorn" warship suddenly encountered a tropical typhoon and sank in the waters near Yangjiang, Guangdong."
"In 1625, fishermen on the coast of Guangzhou Prefecture caught shells."
"Deng Shiliang, who was the then-promoter of Guangzhou Prefecture, was inspecting coastal defense in Yangjiang. After learning the news, he immediately organized salvage boats, equipped winches and pulleys, hired civilians who were proficient in water to salvage 36 18-pound naval guns in nearby waters, 22 of which were free shipped to Beijing."
"After these naval guns arrived in Beijing, eleven guns rushed to Ningyuan immediately."
"Just a year later, these naval guns salvaged from the seabed came in handy!"
"In the first month of the sixth year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty (1626 AD), 60,000 Later Jin troops were aggressive in Nurhaci and besieged the lonely city Ningyuan."
"The Ming army, led by Yuan Chonghuan, with the outstanding performance of a new firearm, has historically recorded that the city's people were rushing over and over, and "everything wherever Mars reached, all are corrupt."
"Nurhaci's Later Jin army attacked fiercely for twelve days and corpses were everywhere, but nothing was found and forced to retreat."
This is the famous "Ningyuan Victory!" in history!
......
Li Ming's funny commentary was unanimously recognized by the audience in the live broadcast room, and the atmosphere of the entire live broadcast room reached its peak again.
Surprise is far more than these bronze cannons. When Li Ming excitedly used his pit digging artifact to search this seabed one by one;
Next he discovered more good things;
Another gold necklace, more than one!
He found a total of 27 gold necklaces in three stone pits covered by sea sand!
Although these gold necklaces are not as heavy as the 3kg big guy that Li Ming found a few days ago, each one is as thick as an index finger.
Moreover, the weight of the number 27 is much greater than the previous one.
But this is not the point.
Although it is not as heavy as that thing, each of these gold necklaces is worth less than the pure gold necklaces.
The emeralds from Colombia are embedded on it, which are extremely exquisite.
