Bab 311: GGS-CHAPTER 304 TREASURE
The depth here is about seven or eight hundred meters. It's dark.
But through the sound waves of the killer whale, Su Jing can clearly feel the shape of a large object on the ocean floor, which should be a sunken ship. It was very old, half-submerged in mud, half exposed, with a ragged surface.
Getting close enough, he can detect the broken place of the ship and he also detected many cube-shaped things inside boxes, and many objects like plates and bottles were scattered.
"Plate? Bottle? Could they be ancient porcelain?"
Su Jing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This ship was full of porcelain, most likely an ancient merchant ship, so the quality of these porcelains should not be too low. It may even be a precious antique now. The antique value of this ship's cargo may be huge. Su Jing didn't expect to have a chance to meet a shipwreck filled with porcelain when he went out for fun.
In fact, according to statistics, there are about 2,000 to 3,000 ancient Chinese shipwrecks in China and Southeast Asian waters. Most of them are from Song and Yuan dynasties. The treasures on these shipwrecks have mostly consisted of ancient Chinese fine porcelain, which constitutes a "seabed porcelain capital". With the continuous appreciation of ancient Chinese cultural relics, these underwater treasure houses have attracted more and more attention from robbers at sea.
However, treasure hunting on the seafloor is not an easy task. It is more complicated and difficult than archaeology on land. Some people use various clues to find a shipwreck that may take them more than ten years to find. There are even common cases where they spend their time, energy, and money and found nothing.
Su Jing was able to find the shipwreck so easily. In addition to luck, the bigger reason was that he used the two capabilities of the killer whale. One was the unimpeded access to the ocean floor. The second is ultrasonic detection. Such a convenient capability is unmatched by any salvage team.
"It's seven or eight hundred meters deep, my body can't dive down at that level at all, so it would be best to let the killer whale bring up the box first to see if it's even worth it. In case it's all garbage than I won't be coming back here."
Su Jing thought and controlled the killer whale to dive through a hole in the shipwreck and he began to inspect it carefully and prepared to pick a box to take away. Just then, he heard something moving deep in the ship. A huge thing was crawling from deep inside the cabin.
Su Jing first used an ultrasonic wave to detect the giant creature that crawled over and stayed there for a second, then he randomly set up a box and turned suddenly, fleeing desperately. At this moment, even if the ship was full of gold, he wouldn't have the energy to do more. If he can feel it right, the behemoth in the depths of the cabin should be a huge squid. It's body wasn't even fully out and it was already more than 15 meters in length. There is no doubt about it. This is an extremely dangerous creature, it hides in this ship, perhaps it is it's home.
Su Jing controlled the killer whale and swam up. After releasing the ultrasonic detection, he realized that the giant squid didn't follow, so he just managed to breathe a sigh of relief and continued to swim upstream until it reached the surface of the sea.
Su Jing's spiritual force retracted from the Killer Whale's body as he began to pant heavily while sitting on the back of the loggerhead sea turtle: "Huhhh, Huhhh, it was dangerous, I just relied on the ultrasonic detection and I couldn't see it directly and I can't confirm what type of squid it is. But, there are only two kinds of squids over five meters in length. One is king cuttlefish, and the other is the giant squid. No matter which one, they both are extremely dangerous. My underage killer whale is definitely not an opponent to them."
Giant squid and king cuttlefish are the first and second-largest mollusks in the world, reaching more than 20 meters in length and 40 to 50 tons in weight. Their only natural enemy is the sperm whale. If there is a group of killer whales or an adult killer whale, then there is no need to be afraid of this squid. Unfortunately, Su Jing only have one killer whale and it is only five meters long and isn't even an adult yet. Even if the Killer Whale has eaten the Magical Beast meat and Jade Fang Fishes and it is stronger than an ordinary killer whale, but it can't make up for the huge gap in body shape.
"At least I was able to get a box up, let's see what's inside." Su Jing took the wooden box from the killer whale's mouth, moved it to the back of loggerhead sea turtle, and slammed it gently, the wooden box broke as the wooden box has almost decayed after remaining submerged in the sea for so long.
He saw that there was a hexagonal blue vase inside the box and it was about sixty centimeters tall, with zigzag lines and dazzling decorations. At first glance, it was pleasing to the eye and looked extraordinary. Turning the porcelain bottle to the bottom, he can see the six-character, three-line scriptures in the bottom which read "Made in Qing Dynasty Yongzheng". If this is not a copy, it should be porcelain made in the Yongzheng period.
"It looks like it's worth a few bucks." Su Jing took out the storage bag and filled the bottle in and took out the Spirit Beast bag and put the loggerhead sea turtle in it. He had remembered this area and then rode on the Killer whale to return home, no matter if the porcelain was valuable or not, the sunken ship had huge squids guarding it, it was not so easy to salvage, and this matter could not be rushed.
After returning home, Su Jing took out his mobile phone and took photos of the bottle from various angles, and then sent it to Shen Hong. After several previous exchanges, Su Jing knew that although Shen Hong was a little greedy, his level of treasure detection was still very good. Moreover, if he saw a valuable treasure, he could not bear it.
Sure enough, after a while, he received a call from Shen Hong. What Su Jing didn't expect was that Shen Hong's tone was extremely exciting: "You … you … where did you take this picture, you didn't just come across it on another stall, did you?"
Su Jing is a little surprised. Is this bottle even more valuable than he had thought? He answered: "Of course not. How can I buy such a good thing at a stall? This is a gift from a friend. Is it precious?"
"It's more than precious!" Shen Hong said with great excitement, "This hexagon bottle is a combination of painting, stamping, stacking and embossing techniques, each of which reflects the beauty of the other. Its winding lines and overall proportion are similar to the unsubstantiated flower goblet made by Ying Tang himself, and its production process is not ordinary. Jingdezhen called such implements "Inlays". They can only be assembled without drawing a blank. They are more prone to crack and deformation during firing. Therefore, they strive to have a good shape, which is one in a hundred. Embossing and stacking need to be printed and carefully carved, which is extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming. If you are a little careless, all your previous achievements will be wasted. This porcelain is also the best choice among the Yongzheng vases of the Qing Dynasty. "
"How much is that worth?" Su Jing asked.
"I don't know how much it's worth. You won't know how to appreciate it if you keep it, how about selling it to me for one million? Plus counting the last time, I have now helped you identify treasures for free twice and you should sell it to me. If you need any identification in the future, I will serve for free. "
"Not sure?" Su Jing smiled. This old guy wants to say that he bought it for a million, which means that it's definitely worth more than a million. He said with a smile, "Old Mister Shen, this bottle is sent by a friend. I won't sell it. You can say how much it's worth and I'll give you the appraisal fee. I have a lot of treasure. If you can't figure out their worth, I'll find someone else to identify it later. "
"You still have a lot of treasures?" Shen Hong was convinced of Su Jing's words, his tone was obviously very happy, and he smiled, "I am not sure, I can only estimate the price, it should be worth at least 4 million and above."
Su Jing rolled his eyes and began to curse this sly old man in his heart. This old guy, he wanted to but something that is worth more than 4 Million at a price of 1 Million. At the same time, he was feeling very happy in his heart. The value of this bottle is far beyond his imagination. A bottle is so expensive. So what about a ship full of these things, how much would that be worth?
Su Jing felt that his heart was almost jumping out, and he could not wait to rush back to pick up the whole ship immediately. (To be continued ~ ^ ~)
