Chapter 570: Chapter 352 Can Night Vision Also Be Far-Sighted?_2

He firmly memorized the location in his mind, played with the pets for a short while, and then returned.

Now, the second-level Sea God mode had become a bit stronger, and the speed was even faster.

What usually took over forty minutes, with Sea God mode activated, only took slightly over sixteen minutes to reach.

He had gone out for a stroll for just over an hour, looking at the distant villa.

666...

They were still playing!

This served as a reminder for him to be cautious to avoid being spotted by a telescope. It would be better for him and Jiang Luoluo to take it easy and not to come outside.

In the following days, they enjoyed the relaxation activities on the island and played for another two days, recharged before they continued their journey.

The Hei Yao set out from the port of Male, the capital, heading to the temporary habitat of the killer whales.

In a short while, they arrived there.

The sea otter babies swam over to the boat on their own. They didn’t need to be picked up by anyone; they climbed onto the boat by themselves.

Jiang Luoluo had already been waiting there. She first gave them a simple bath, rinsed off the seawater with fresh water, and then dried their fur.

Although sea otters live in water all their lives, even when they sleep, it is still better to stay dry now that they mostly live on the boat.

While she was bathing the sea otters, she saw Chu Mingcheng taking off his coat and pants.

"Ah Cheng, what are you doing?"

"I saw something good at the bottom of the water. I’ll bring it up for you to see."

"What is it?"

Jiang Luoluo approached curiously. Then she saw Chu Mingcheng jump into the water, fumble around a rock, and emerge holding a strange, large stone.

"Eh, this is..."

She recognized something at a glance.

"Could this be the tooth of a megalodon? The rock below looks a bit like the bone of some creature!"

"Right, I thought it was a special shell from the boat. I didn’t expect it to be a fossil."

"You have good eyesight. If you hadn’t gone directly to the rock, even if I had kept staring at that place, I might not have noticed it."

Chu Mingcheng had deliberately chosen a spot where the water was only about ten meters deep. With clear water and knowing the location, one could indeed see to the bottom at a glance.

But even so, it was normally very difficult to spot because there were too many strangely shaped rocks on the seabed.

After cleaning the sea otters, Jiang Luoluo immediately started cleaning the fossil.

The fossil was covered with seaweed and some coral, all of which needed to be cleaned off.

Never mind the skeletal fossils, a well-preserved megalodon tooth alone, the size of a palm, could be worth hundreds of thousands of Green Coins, making it worth her while.

Chu Mingcheng quickly took a rinse before hurrying to sail away. Fishing for good stuff in someone else’s waters always made one feel a bit guilty.

However, after sailing for half the day on the Hei Yao, he relaxed a bit.

They had already left the Maldives far behind and entered international waters.

Yet, just as he was relaxing, a warning suddenly came over the radio.

It was in English. Luckily, Jiang Luoluo was by his side, directly translating for him.

The message advised him to detour, as an area of the sea ahead was blockaded.

Chu Mingcheng took a look through the telescope and spotted a military ship from India.

He couldn’t afford to cause trouble, so he had Jiang Luoluo navigate away while he climbed up to the top of the mast on deck.

From there, he understood why the Indian military ship was enforcing a blockade.

At an even greater distance, a massive salvage ship was operating, accompanied by some other vessels transferring silt.

He had never seen a shipwreck salvage in real life, but he had watched videos of it.

Chu Mingcheng was thankful for the wealth of information available today. Without it, he would probably have obediently left the area and avoided any trouble.

Now, they would indeed leave obediently, but at night, it’s a different story.

Back in the cabin, after dealing with Jiang Luoluo and waiting for her to leave to prepare lunch, Chu Mingcheng deliberately slowed down a little to avoid swimming too far when they returned at night.

The only trouble was that they still had some patrol boats and speedboats. Without those, he could have stopped once he was out of the vision range of the warships.

After sailing for over twenty nautical miles, Chu Mingcheng serendipitously encountered a school of Golden Spearfish.

This was good, as the Killer Whales hadn’t eaten today, and now they had found a yellowfin tuna school, providing a perfect excuse for him to stop.

The Killer Whales were now very experienced at hunting Golden Spearfish and soon began enjoying their feast on the water surface.

The sea otter baby wanted to swim over to share some of the meat, but Jiang Luoluo hugged it tightly, "Are you silly? Going there now, aren’t you afraid they might accidentally swallow you up?"

Chu Mingcheng laughed at this comment. If they were going to swallow something, they would have done it long before now, not waited until the present.

Having no Golden Spearfish on board, he took the opportunity to grab a fishing rod, planning to catch a couple for later and to pass the time.

Soon, night fell.

As per the usual routine, after Jiang Luoluo was completely exhausted and sound asleep, Chu Mingcheng started his night operation.

However, this time the noise he made getting into the water caught the attention of the Killer Whales, while the sea otter baby slept undisturbed in his nest inside the cabin.

After appeasing the Killer Whales, Chu Mingcheng swam towards the salvage ship he’d seen earlier.

The distance of over twenty nautical miles, which was about forty kilometers, took Chu Mingcheng over an hour to reach.

Once close, he dove directly down to a depth of over thirty meters, where under normal circumstances, no one would ever detect him.

Unless, of course, the ship’s salvage crew didn’t sleep for some reason and decided to send out a submersible to observe the situation.

But that, of course, was unlikely. Chu Mingcheng encountered no submersibles, and the sand transport ships that were operating during the day had disappeared, leaving only one massive salvage ship temporarily stationed in the area.

There were just a few scattered patrol personnel on board, holding flashlights and occasionally coming out to check things.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t waste any more time and began diving towards the bottom, hoping that their salvage operation had only just begun.

Typically, to salvage a sunken ship, a concrete cofferdam is built to lift the entire ship out of the water.

The sand ships from the day were transporting concrete for this purpose.

He didn’t need to search for the shipwreck; the construction work for the cofferdam had already pinpointed the precise location.

He followed the targeted position downward and, after estimating he swam down for about eight hundred meters, finally saw the situation at the seabed.

Then, to his surprise, he discovered that only a small part of the cofferdam had been constructed, signifying the project had just begun.

Chu Mingcheng guessed that the salvage company was collaborating with India, as this location was relatively close to India, and there was no reason for them not to partake in the spoils.

Afterward, he began to inspect the sunken ship more closely and was increasingly amazed to find that it was a remarkably well-preserved ancient Huaxia vessel.

Although ancient ships were wooden and had their own national characteristics.

Chu Mingcheng had once had a keen interest in ancient sunken ships and had studied quite a bit, so he was unlikely to make a mistake.

’Damn it, the foreigners have gotten ahead again.’

Because of the Maritime Silk Road, there were many ancient Huaxia commercial ships that had sunk, and many had fallen into the hands of Southeast Asian countries.

In the past, some fishermen there often salvaged ancient Huaxia ceramics.

He hadn’t expected the Indian Ocean to also contain them, especially so far away.

He couldn’t let foreigners reap the benefits, even if he couldn’t take everything, he had to take the most valuable ones.

Thinking this, Chu Mingcheng immediately swam into the ship.

The next moment, his eyes were dazzled by what he saw.

The cabin was filled with ceramics, gold, silver, and copper objects, jewelry, and other items.

If he wasn’t mistaken, there were at least ten thousand items inside this ancient shipwreck.

Although the vast majority were damaged, there were still plenty of valuable ones.

Chu Mingcheng felt heartache at the thought of all these treasures falling into the hands of foreigners for nothing.

With the ropes and nets he carried, he could take at most a little more than twenty items.

There was no other choice now, he would just pick as many as he could!

The ship was around thirty meters long and sizable.

Apart from this large cabin, there were many smaller rooms.

Knowing human nature, most of the valuable items would be separated.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng didn’t search for treasures amongst the pile of ceramics but went to the closest small room first to see what was inside.
