Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 648 The Atocha Motherlode
Because of the staged results, everyone had a very rich dinner this day.Liang En specially asked people to purchase a lot of fresh vegetables and meat from land and send them to the ship.

For the United States, as long as there is money, there is nothing impossible, so everyone successfully held a sumptuous banquet in the evening to wash away the fatigue of the past few days.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone anchored and set off towards the land closer to Key West, because in Liang En's memory, the treasure accumulation point of another world called "Atoka Motherline" was there.

And from the perspective of pure sea level and meteorological conditions, there are more shelters closer to the coastline, which is more conducive to the sedimentation and accumulation of the wreckage of those sunken ships.

"How much is the batch of things we salvaged before?" Jeanne sat on a chair and asked Liang En, who was half lying on the bed and reading a book, on the way to the destination.

Although Joan of Arc is now working hard to learn various things related to history, for him, the price is still the most convenient criterion for judging the preciousness of cultural relics.

What's more, unlike the previous excavations, all the things unearthed in this excavation belonged to Liang En and the others, so Joan felt that it was very important to find out the value of these things.

"You seem to be more and more familiar with being in charge of these things now." After listening to Joan of Arc's question, Liang En put down the book and looked at her with a smile, until her cheeks turned crimson before saying the answer.

"As for the things that were dug up before, my valuation is between 5 million and 6 million U.S. dollars, and the part that we can sell freely should be able to get between 3 million and 3 million U.S. dollars, while other things need to go through procedures to sell. It’s more troublesome to drop it.”

"It's a huge sum of money, which probably exceeds all the wealth we have now." After hearing Liang En's words, Joan widened her eyes a little, because she never thought that there would be Such a large sum of money.

"But I don't plan to sell these things, because it should be a very valuable thing to exhibit these things as a whole compared to selling a part of the exhibition." Liang En said to Joan of Arc made his own plan.

"Then what if you want to use money?" Joan of Arc frowned upon hearing what Liang En said. "If I remember correctly, Elizabeth has been wanting money to develop her business lately."

"Of course it's a loan." Liang En raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't forget, whether it's emeralds or gold and silver nuggets, they are the most popular collateral in every bank. Borrow enough money."

Banks prefer to add icing on the cake in their financial business rather than give it a helping hand.Therefore, it is not so difficult to handle loan business with sufficient collateral.

Especially in recent times, the overall global economic situation is not very good, so these gold, silver and precious stones that can preserve their value under such circumstances are more favored by banks, and they can lend more money than usual.

After driving for six hours, Liang En and the others successfully arrived at the predetermined target location. As before, the target location exceeded ten square kilometers, so the first thing to do was to use metal detectors to conduct large-scale detection .

This metal detector is a magnetic induction metal detector, which is consistent with the same type of equipment used on anti-submarine ships. The only difference is that the overall quality is not as good as those of the military version.

Of course, another major problem with this instrument is that it is difficult to detect too small things. Only when a certain amount of metal reaches a certain amount of metal can the instrument react, but this does not affect Liang En's use.

After all, what he was looking for now was a large pile of gold, silver and jewelry. Theoretically, the metal inside might weigh more than ten tons. In this case, the instruments they are using now are absolutely impossible to miss.

"When will we find our target?" When it was getting dark, Liang En walked in and asked the captain about the overall search progress in this sea area.

"The situation is not easy to say." The old captain in his 50s looked at Liang En and said, "Right now we are only searching a small part of the entire area. If we are lucky, we may be able to get it all done in the next hour, luck It's going to take a week."

Sometimes this kind of search work requires luck the most. Unfortunately, finding so many things before seems to have exhausted all of Liang En's luck, so that they didn't find anything for the next three days.

Liang En also tried to use divination again, but found that the area of ​​the sea area had exceeded the upper limit he could bear now, and it was impossible to divination the exact location.Therefore, there is only one way for me to go around in a circle, and that is to exclude a certain sea area through divination every day, and gradually narrow the scope of the search.

In fact, Liang En originally planned to use divination to continuously narrow down the scope of the search.What I didn't expect was that this thing can only be searched once and cannot be superimposed repeatedly, so I can only adopt the current stupid method.

Although he didn't know why it happened like this, Liang En guessed that it was very likely that the card itself prevented users from taking some opportunistic means, which also meant that the search work might take a long time.

Fortunately, their luck was not bad. On the third day of the search, Liang En, who was sitting in front of the metal detector screen, finally heard the alarm sound caused by a large amount of metal.

As soon as they heard the alarm, the people who were resting in the various cabins in the ship rushed out of the cabin to get busy. They quickly put the underwater robot into the water through the ramp at the stern, and then manipulated the robot to rush to the destination.

Because the local area is also a muddy seabed, the robot quickly started cleaning work after reaching the bottom of the sea. Working with the water, the sand was blown from the bottom of the sea and made the water in front of the camera cloudy.

"Wait a minute." Liang En suddenly said to the robot operator just as the sand floating in the water in front of the display screen began to settle. "Can you turn the camera lens down a bit?"

"No problem, Mr. Liang." After hearing Liang En's order, the operator quickly shook the handle to steer the robot downstream, and then his eyes widened. "My God—"

"It seems that I'm right to come with you this time." Mr. Skold looked at the things on the video and showed an excited expression, "Can I go down and take a picture later, don't worry, I have a diving license."

"Of course it's okay, I just want the divers to confirm that it's safe underneath." Liang En turned his head and said to Mr. Scudder next to him.

To be honest, Mr. Scudder is very proficient in these skills related to archaeological exploration, but his luck is a bit bad, so that he has never dug up anything of value.

The reason why everyone is so excited is that after blowing away the sand and rocks on the surface of the seabed, there is a piece of gold below, which looks dazzling.

A large piece of the silt on the seabed has been removed, and the pit is filled with densely packed gold coins, with some jewelry and precious stones mixed in. It looks like there is a huge treasure house below the ground.
