Chapter 643: Chapter 417: Salvaged a "Treasure" for Cash_2
"To have fun." Sean Knight flicked the flippers in his hand and said, "And take the opportunity to see if we can catch some seafood or something."
The staff’s boat approached the yacht, and then they boarded the deck.
Sean Knight took the initiative to show them his documents.
After the staff checked it, they handed it back to Sean Knight:
"This place is a bit close to South Vietnam, you need to be careful here. If anything happens, leave as soon as possible."
"Alright." Sean Knight readily agreed.
As the staff were about to leave, Sean Knight suddenly thought of that fish and said immediately:
"Wait a moment."
Having said that, he stepped into the ship cabin.
The staff were a bit puzzled, and one of them thought Sean Knight was going to give them something, so he immediately said:
"We don’t accept gifts..."
"I think you’ll definitely accept this one." Sean Knight walked out with the "big fish" in his arms, "I caught it in the sea, I guess you should know what this is."
The "fish" was still wriggling, and the experienced staff recognized it at a glance.
"You caught this?" The staff were very surprised, "You should know what it is, right?"
"I guess it should be a bionic fish or a robot, but it’s definitely not something good." Sean Knight said: "After I caught it, I felt that there was something wrong with it. Fortunately, you came, and this thing should be under your jurisdiction, right?"
"Yes, it is definitely under our jurisdiction." the marine police staff laughed, "then we need to register your information in detail. Maybe we can give you an honorary certificate when you approach the port!"
"Well, thank you very much!" Sean Knight handed over the fish, relieved.
After registering Sean Knight’s information carefully, the staff hurried back to the marine police boat with the fish.
During this process, the fish was still wriggling, and the staff knew that they must disassemble it as soon as possible and remove the battery inside.
Waving goodbye to the marine police boat, Sean Knight continued his underwater search.
After changing three sea areas successively, Sean Knight realized that he had returned to the sea area near where he had previously taken down the two speedboats.
The sea area had now returned to normal, but Sean Knight did not stop the boat in this area and instead retreated some distance before anchoring the yacht and diving into the sea himself.
Before diving, he took a special look at his surroundings and found no traces of boats.
Thus, he dived in with ease.
Time shouldn’t be too long.
Swimming around in the sea, Sean Knight’s Sky Eye saw many seafood.
He resisted the urge to forage in the reef caves and then saw a rusty object in the eastward direction.
A torpedo.
How did this thing end up here?
Sean Knight went to the bottom of the sea and put the torpedo into the spatial realm.
The sudden disappearance of the torpedo created a small vacuum, and the seawater quickly filled in, stirring up a wave of sand that made the nearby seawater murky.
A hidden flounder was disturbed and suddenly darted out, swimming some distance away before settling down on the sea floor again, swaying its body a few times, and hiding back in the sand.
Sean Knight looked around and then surfaced again.
This was his second gain in the sea.
But in reality, it was just better than nothing—not very useful.
However, compared to the actual benefits, mental satisfaction was more important.
Sean Knight didn’t expect that he could find such "good stuff" in the sea either.
That’s why, after adjusting the position of the yacht, he dived into the sea again.
The yacht was basically located at the midpoint between the control lines on both sides.
As soon as Sean Knight jumped into the sea, he dived in the direction of the opposing sea area.
Unlike the previous times, this time he found traces of sunken ships on the seafloor within a few minutes of diving.
This sea area was about fifty meters deep.
There were very few fish around because there were no seaweed, seagrass, and other seabed plants, or coral species nearby, and there were no undercurrents on the seafloor.
It was a barren place in the sea.
That was why there were very few fishing boats passing by.
So the sunken ship in front of Sean Knight, covered in marine organisms and looking like a reef, had been staying here intact all this time.
Sean Knight’s Sky Eye glanced into the distance, and there was more than one sunken ship like this.
Tens of meters away from here, there was another vessel.
With his underwater vision limited, Sean Knight dived deeper to explore further.
This trip gave Sean Knight quite a fright!
Every several tens of meters, there was a sunken ship.
There were eleven in total!
None of these sunken ships were small, the smallest being over twenty meters long.
Sean used Sky Eye to scan them, and inside these sunken ships, the vast majority of them did not contain the treasures he had been dreaming of, but countless human bones!
In every ship, there were at least a dozen skeletons, and in some, several dozen or even a hundred!
These people were clearly tied up and sunk together with the boats. Some of the bones still bore signs of injury.
Since they were sunk as whole boats, most of the cabins were sealed off, so many of the bones were still partially preserved.
This was also how Sean could recognize them.
Of course, most of them had already been corroded by seawater or decomposed by marine microorganisms.
Leaving only faint traces.
As Sky Eye scanned this scene, Sean felt quite heavy-hearted.
What kind of situation did they encounter that their entire fleet of ships met such an unfortunate end?
Sean couldn’t guess the reason.
He did not disturb the quietude of the skeletons, but just walked slowly through the ocean.
He walked all the way to the front of the sunken ships.
Just on these sunken ships, there were almost a thousand skeletons.
Although there were still some valuable items that the skeletons carried with them, which were not easily corroded by seawater, Sean did not touch them.
At this point, he walked forward for several tens of meters, and he didn’t see any more sunken ships.
Sean wondered, is this all there is?
He didn’t give up and kept walking forward.
He decided to walk another 1000 meters, and if he still didn’t find anything, he would turn back and resurface.
However, before he reached 500 meters, he made a discovery.
The location of these sunken ships seemed to be in a not particularly deep ocean trench.
It was precisely because of this that they had remained hidden after sinking for so long.
The sunken ship Sean discovered was about twice as large as the previous largest one.
It was about seventy or eighty meters in length and about twenty meters in height.
Even by contemporary standards, this was a huge ship.
What surprised Sean, or finally improved his heavy mood somewhat, was that there were not many skeletons on this large ship—only about a dozen.
Compared to the enormous ship, it really wasn’t that many.
More importantly, there were items in the cabins.
Through his Sky Eye, Sean could see that besides large quantities of rotten food, clothes, and other items in this huge ship, there were also a lot of gold and silver ingots.
From the style and age of the ship, it appeared to be from the same fleet as the previous dozen or so ships.
It just sank further away from the others.
But it couldn’t escape the fate of sinking.
Nearly a hundred boxes of gold and silver were supposed to be the foundation for the ship’s owner to rebuild his fortunes at his destination.
But now, all the treasures benefited Sean Knight.
Not only did he harvest the gold and silver, but he also found a box of items he could hardly believe: Royal jade tablets!
These items were used to prove one’s royal family identity, essentially a family tree of royalty.
Since the Tang Dynasty, every dynasty had produced jade tablets; however, currently, only the Qing Dynasty tablets remain complete.
The jade tablets from previous dynasties had all disappeared.
Some were in the hands of the public, some were overseas, and some were preserved by the country.
But they were all incomplete.
So when Sean saw this box of jade tablets, he was really quite surprised and thrilled!
His gains really were huge this time!
He carefully broke open the cabin of the large ship to retrieve the box of jade tablets and store them in his spatial realm.
Only then did he start working on the other items.
At this moment, a large ship was approaching on the water’s surface!
