Chapter 323: Chapter 257: Rent a Boat to Salvage Treasure

In the end, Nemo agreed after thinking about it.

He truly didn’t believe that Sean Knight could find the treasure.

After signing the agreement, Sean immediately called Elijah Hastings and the others to board the boat and brought their equipment on board.

Nemo took the deposit and, feeling reassured, followed Sean’s arrangements, driving the boat to the designated location.

"The water here isn’t very deep, just several tens of meters. Why not use people for underwater salvage?"

Not only did Nemo have this question, Elijah and the others also had the same doubts.

Sean didn’t give them an explanation, but the truth was quite simple.

Beneath the thick underwater silt in an area nearly the size of half a football field, hundreds of thousands of gold coins were scattered!

How long would it take to salvage these gold coins manually?

Moreover, more importantly, diving rookies like Sean and the others would not only find it exhausting to salvage at a depth of several tens of meters, but it would also be very dangerous.

How convenient is it to use a salvage ship instead!

With the blower winch-like device, the thick seabed sand was blown away, and the gold coins were sucked up, leaving Sean and the others with the simple task of sorting them out.

"Elijah, go to the control room and learn the operation of those preparations; Lincoln Harrington, Douglas Cooper, you two follow the workers and collect those treasures."

Sean himself was in the control room, directing the boat where to start work.

As they had rented the boat for only one day, Sean immediately had Nemo start work.

Nemo had received money, and his professional ethics were still good. He immediately directed the workers on the ship to turn on the radar, lower the equipment, start the underwater robot with a video camera, and begin sandblowing excavation.

The thick seabed sand was blown away, but nothing was seen underneath.

Nemo looked at the images returned by the camera and said to Sean:

"Many treasure hunters have dived here and found nothing. Mr. Knight, it’s very likely that you might not find anything here even if you dig all day."

Sean, however, was not moved at all. He had already dived to inspect this part of the seabed several times and had obtained very clear results. In this area, just under about a meter of sea sand, there were at least several hundred thousand gold coins!

Of course, this was a massive project, otherwise, Sean would not have directly paid five hundred thousand dollars!

"We have already blown away half a meter of seabed sand. Should we continue?" the operator asked.

"Continue." Before Nemo could respond, Sean responded, "Keep blowing downwards."

Seeing that Nemo did not object, the operator continued with the operation.

Not long after, good news came: fragments of wooden boxes were found in the blown-out sand!

Nemo was shocked!

What shocked him even more was that after the dark wooden box fragments were exposed underwater, further down, a large number of gold coins appeared before the camera!

Although some of these gold coins had been at the bottom of the sea for a long time and had become clumped together due to the materials in the sea, many more still shone with a golden light!

"There really is a treasure!" Nemo was immediately filled with an expression of shock and intense jealousy!

He had been here for such a long time and hadn’t discovered a single gold coin - and this Chinese boy had only been here for half a month and found the treasure!

Maybe there was only one box of gold coins?

Nemo comforted himself that there were probably just a few hundred gold coins in one box, and that the Chinese boy had only found this one, which happened to be enough to pay the rent for the boat.

After these gold coins were collected, the remaining work became easy. Sean only needed to point out the general direction, and the ship’s radar could scan the rest.

More and more wooden boxes filled with gold coins were discovered, and more and more gold coins were sucked up.

Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper, who were working in the recovery cabin, supervised the workers in sorting out these gold coins and packing them into boxes. There were packing boxes on the ship, and Sean simply had them bought, which Nemo didn’t refuse.

After all, he had no use for them himself.

One box after another - the number of gold coin-filled boxes on the ship grew. At first, the workers were excited, after all, being professional salvage workers, how could they not be excited about these treasures?

But gradually, as the salvage increased, and the gold coins grew from a few boxes to dozens, the workers gradually became numb.

Like the workers in a printing factory, these gold coins couldn’t go into their pockets, so what’s the difference between them and sand or rocks?

The salvage ship worked non-stop until late at night before stopping.

Douglas Cooper came over quietly and reported to Sean:

"Boss, we’ve salvaged 213,625 gold coins, packed them into 71 boxes - these gold coins are generally smaller and slightly lighter, weighing about 5 grams each."

Ordinary gold coins usually weigh around 8 to 10 grams, with some weighing 12 grams or more, and some 5 grams, but there are fewer below that.

Although the gold coins were small in weight, they were abundant in quantity.

"Alright, take turns eating, then keep an eye."

Nemo had already gone to rest, while Sean gave bonuses to the equipment operators and the workers, so they were willing to continue working.

Sean had the boxes of gold coins transported to the shore overnight using the lifeboats carried by the salvage ship. He stayed here to guard, while Elijah guarded the other side, and Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper transported back and forth.

It wasn’t until daybreak that the transportation was completed.

What puzzled Elijah and the others was that after the boxes of gold coins were transported here, they eventually disappeared, not knowing where Sean had taken them.

However, they didn’t ask. There were too many mysterious things about their boss, so it was better not to ask.
