Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 500 Suspicious
"This data is very meaningful, because we can judge where the other party is salvage based on the location where the other party's ship is docked."

After the people with the GPS data joined the National Museum of Ireland, professionals among these people quickly began to analyze the GPS data and commented.

However, Liang En frowned when they marked the location on the map according to the above data, because it was completely different from the location he obtained with the card.

"What do you think is going on?" Liang En took Joan of Arc to the outside of the house while the scholars were still studying, and asked.

"There is clearly something wrong with the situation now, even if the ship was caught two points away after being injured in the storm, it should not be the way it is now."

"Can you confirm this?" Joan looked at Liang En and asked. "You know I'm not very professional in this area, so I can't judge whether your inference is correct."

"This can be confirmed." Liang En nodded seriously. "Because the local currents are well-defined, these things shouldn't be drifting away completely unrelated to the currents anyway."

It's normal for those museum scholars not to realize this. After all, they don't have cards and don't know the location of another important location, but Liang En can analyze the abnormal situation by judging the location of two points.

"If this is the case, then there are only two possibilities. Either those people were really cunning enough to take off the GPS trackers and put them on other ships to hide their whereabouts, or the previous boss lied to us."

After a brief thought, Joan quickly made two assumptions, but just as her voice fell, Liang En denied his first assumption.

"It is impossible to remove all the GPS locators. You must know that this kind of locator is very small, and ship owners often put these locators in places that are very difficult to remove."

"In particular, the trackers that come with some ships are installed on the keel of the ship or even the main engine. Unless you disassemble the ship destructively, it is impossible to take it out or destroy it."

"But if that's the case, then why did that businessman lie to us just now?" Joan of Arc asked a little puzzled. "I don't see what he can get by lying to us."

"I'm not sure about this, but I guess it has something to do with this ruin." Liang En stroked his chin and said. "Besides this, he has nothing to do with us."

"So I think that since the other party doesn't know that we have the correct location, then as long as we observe whether there are people around the correct location, we should be able to identify the troublemakers behind the scenes."

So when everyone was going to go to sea the next day, Liang En left Fan Meng on the shore. Of course, the excuse he made at this time was that there was not much space on the boat, so unnecessary personnel should be minimized as much as possible.

Everyone was floating on the sea that day, and used divers and small remote-controlled underwater robots to conduct a comprehensive survey of the seabed, hoping to find the location of the relics where the brass was excavated before.

But as Liang En judged before, although there are a lot of relics of human activities and various items on the seabed of this place, there is nothing they want.

"Don't be discouraged, this is a very common thing for us." The scholar who led the team from the museum patted Liang En on the shoulder and said when they landed.

"Marine archaeology is very different from the previous land archaeology. It takes more time and energy to locate the ruins, so it is normal to not find the target for a week or two.

"For example, many famous marine archaeologists may spend several months conducting investigations to find a relic, but they may not be able to find the target in the end, so it is very normal for us to not find the target on the first day."

"Of course, of course I know this." Liang En said with a smile, "You know that I have found and salvaged the British expedition team in the north, so I understand how complicated it is."

However, after seeing off these scholars, Liang En made sure that no one was following him and came to a coffee shop with Joan of Arc, and then met Fan Meng who had been observing the situation outside during the day. "Your previous guess was correct."

As soon as we met, Fan Meng said to Liang En seriously, "I have been observing the sea area from the mountain during the day, and I noticed a boat has been nearby since the morning."

"The most important thing is that I observed several divers coming and going on that boat. At the same time, the diving equipment they wore was a bit too professional, and they didn't look like tourists at all."

Fan Meng completed the task of staring at a point to see if there were any ships or divers in the vicinity very seriously, and brought these core information to Liang En.

This is one of the most important reasons why Liang En is willing to trust Fan Meng, because he can complete his order without asking any prerequisites.

"If that's the case, then the situation can be restored now." Liang En nodded, then turned to look at Joan of Arc and said, "The other party is obviously misleading us because of that ruin."

"According to your statement, the other party should have found the sunken ship." Looking at the tourists on the street through the glass of the cafe, Liang frowned and showed a thoughtful expression. "But why did the other party dig that thing?"

"Didn't you say that there is a sunken ship underneath?" Fan Meng said a little puzzled at this moment, "The other party is obviously digging a sunken ship."

"But this sunken ship is different—" Liang En scratched his head and thought for a while, then looked at Fan Meng and asked, "What do you think can be salvaged by salvaging a sunken ship?"

"Gold, silver, or all kinds of expensive jewelry-grade ceramics." Fan Meng said after thinking for a while, and then suddenly realized.

"The boats here won't be like the few boats we found after we entered the Arctic Circle last time. There is no gold, silver and jewelry on them at all."

"You guessed it right. Don't forget that this is from the same age as the ruins we dug on Crete last time. There were not many valuable things in the modern sense on board the ships of that era."

"If I'm not mistaken, if the things loaded on this ship are left today, there are probably only some ancient porcelain and some remnants of metal pieces left, and these things don't have much value in the antique black market."

There is a difference in target selection between archaeological excavations and illegal excavations. Illegal excavators are more interested in handicrafts, precious metals or gems, in short, all valuable things.

But professional archaeologists are different. What they care about is not the economic value of these things, but the information contained in them.

It is likely that to these professional archaeologists, the remnants of some organic matter surviving in a fragment of a food container may be more valuable than a finely crafted gold necklace.

Because the former can analyze what people ate at that time, and then can infer a series of information about the production and life of the ancients.

Therefore, the way these people salvage the sunken ship is obviously a little abnormal. After all, judging from the copper blocks, there is not much valuable stuff on the ship.
