Chapter 1471: Chapter 704 The Largest Fortune Recently!!_2

"I heard from Tom that we have such a bunch of this stuff on Big Island... It seems like it was brought over by 052DE initially. This time, let’s have the cargo ship bring it over!" Sean said excitedly, "One backpack holds eight... Just think about it..."

"Great! I had no idea... Bring it, bring it!"

Sean Knight felt pretty excited too.

The item was half a meter long, as thick as a wrist, produced by a private enterprise. It was infrared-guided when launched—eight in a backpack... Just imagine!

Half an hour later, with blind guesses departing, the team members, holding their various finds, were laughing and discussing.

"Alright, collect your own stuff and then go back to your posts," Lincoln Harrington shouted from the deck, "Refill the oxygen cylinders and get ready for diving!"

During the last missile patrol, nearby fishermen had already learned not to mess with the yacht, and as a result, there were no fishing boats within two hundred meters—except for the blind guess that was slowly sailing away.

This also conveniently facilitated the team members’ diving operation. Plus, since Sean Knight had mentioned that they could keep 30% of the salvaged items, the team members were very proactive.

This was more thrilling than any bonus!

Sean Knight didn’t care how Douglas Cooper managed to stow those items away. He donned his diving suit and re-entered the water.

The water was still warm at that moment. Sean dove in and headed towards the distance.

The team members could slowly excavate and explore this market area.

His destination was the sunken ships in the Port District.

The violent undersea earthquake had caused towering tsunamis, flipping over and sinking many big ships anchored at the pier. These ships were mostly loaded with precious items from various places, ready to head towards their destinations.

This was merely a transit point.

With Sky Eye activated, Sean swam past, avoiding the fishermen salvaging in the water.

Since the fishermen had yielded sufficient space to the yacht, Sean had no intention of disturbing them—they could manage to retrieve some of the more superficially buried items, but the deeper buried goods, with the tools they currently had in their possession, were out of reach.

Sean carried an oxygen cylinder that would last an ordinary person half an hour of diving.

However, with Sean’s current constitution and the boost from his spiritual energy, he could stay underwater for an entire day and night without any issues.

Arriving in the Port District, Sean quickly noticed that there weren’t many sunken ships underwater, and most of them had been shattered.

Sean continued swimming outward and soon discovered that beyond the Port District, deeper into the sea, the seafloor flattened—this was likely the border beyond the Port District.

Activating Sky Eye and scanning the horizon, he soon found more sunken ships—scattered and distant from each other.

This was understandable. A tsunami doesn’t directly smash ships into the water; instead, it usually pushes them away with waves, then overturns and submerges them.

Sean swam towards the closest sunken ship.

This ship could barely maintain its outline, covered with a half-meter thick layer of seafloor silt. Its main keel was broken, and the mast had long disappeared, with parts of the ship scattered across the sandy seafloor within a few hundred meters.

Just with a glance, Sean turned and left.

Data fed back from Sky Eye indicated that this ship was originally transporting humans—or rather, it was a slave ship. There were still slave bodies in the cabins, not completely detached from the hull, who had drowned.

Some of these slaves still had rusted iron rings and chains.

After leaving the slave ship, Sean continued swimming towards the distance.

The second ship was about five or six hundred meters away from the first. The depth here reached fifty meters, and it was already very dark underwater. Ordinary people would not be able to stay so deep for very long.

The pressure was starting to build.

Sean was unfazed and could move freely, though it seemed that more dangerous types of fish were appearing.

This ship was carrying porcelain, originally wrapped tightly in baskets, but now the porcelain was scattered across the seafloor within a two hundred meter radius.

The ship had snapped in two, with one half so badly battered by the waves that it was completely rotted away, leaving only a bit of the frame.

The other half was relatively intact. In the cabin’s space, aside from some porcelain that hadn’t been scattered, there were also a few big octopuses lurking.

Sean was originally uninterested in these Min Kiln porcelains, knowing that even if the value of an entire ship was totaled, it wouldn’t compare to the piece of ambergris.

However, as his Sky Eye swept over and was about to leave, he suddenly turned back.

Sean didn’t go towards the relatively intact cabin. Instead, he approached the half of the ship that was about to fall apart.

Taking out a sharp shovel, Sean began to move the floating sand on top of the ship’s frame and dug downward.

He could have used spatial realm to collect it, but he feared damaging the item he wanted to retrieve—after all, he was not yet proficient in manipulating the spatial realm, mainly because he seldom used it.

Quickly, he unearthed a wooden box with the shovel. The box had been adorned with gold, silver, and jade and must have been quite exquisite, although now it had become dull and lusterless.

Sean didn’t open the box—the seal was relatively good. The item inside was still well-preserved, and opening it now would inevitably expose it to seawater corrosion.

Placing the box into his spatial realm, Sean hesitated for a moment, then decided to go to the more intact ship cabin and collected some of the more complete porcelains.

A plan was forming in his mind.

These items, even if he didn’t need them himself, could totally be used to start something on Big Island and create an attraction for tourists.
