Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 875 Information
After breakfast the next morning, Liang En and the others went downstairs to the garden to meet Nelson, and then discussed the details of the treasure hunt.

The first thing the two sides discussed was naturally the issue of remuneration, which is different from the traditions of Northeast Asian countries. Even friends in Europe are more inclined to discuss remuneration first and then start work in this kind of cooperation.

Obviously, Nelson is definitely very generous in terms of remuneration. Even if he finds nothing, he will pay Liang En 10 euros, and as long as he finds the target, he will give Liang En one-third of what he found, and Liang En has a corresponding priority. option.

That is to say, when choosing items, there will be twelve rounds of selection, and Liang En can make his own choice among the four digits of 1, 3, 6, and 10.

This remuneration is absolutely generous. If Liang En had not fully proved his ability before and the relationship between the two parties was good, Nelson would never have paid this level of remuneration.

So from a certain point of view, the most important thing in this industry is personal ability. If the ability is not enough, no matter how good other conditions are, there is no way to get a job.

"Okay, this reward is very good." After reading the reward, Liang En nodded and said, "Now can you tell me the information you have. I think you should have some important information in your hand, otherwise you will not open this time. Search jobs."

"Yes, I do have some important information." Nelson said and passed a document to Liang En via Bluetooth. "This is a note I found earlier."

"Notes?" After hearing what he said, Liang En quickly opened the files on the phone and checked them.Obviously, the yellowed paper of these documents was old, so they could only be checked by photographs.

The first document was actually a diary. At the beginning, it only recorded the contents of some ordinary colonists living in the colony, but from October 1941 onwards, the diary became more panicky.

Although the Pacific War broke out in early December 1941, in the month or two before that, the shadow of war permeated the entire Pacific region, and even the dullest person could feel that something was wrong.

For example, this is the case with the owner of the diary. His last entry was on the third day after the war. He abandoned all belongings that he could not take with him and took the ship to Australia with his family.

And in this diary, he wrote that he saw the boat used to evacuate museum collections on the pier in Jakarta, that is, Batavia, and was transporting some small but heavy things.

"In other words, the things transported away back then were not only antiques, but even some precious metal reserves." After seeing this, Liang En frowned.

Because according to this narrative, it was not only cultural relics that were sent to that ship back then, there may even be things similar to bank reserves.

But think about it, it is a 1200-ton ship, and it is a rare fast cargo ship, so it is very normal for some important things to be transported by that ship.

It is a pity that this ship, which is considered to be very safe by everyone, did not reach its destination. At least for now, only a few clues about this ship have been left.

The second document, on the other hand, is a very messy record of an explorer's expeditions in Papua New Guinea in the 20s.

According to the manual, he came to this island to study the local primitive tribes, hoping to help him achieve success in anthropological research.

I have to say that his choice is very correct. This land is composed of Papua and New Guinea, which means "the land of curly-haired people", which fully explains the appearance of the local aborigines.

The land now known as Papua New Guinea lies in the western South Pacific.Including the eastern half of New Guinea and the nearby Bismarck Islands and Bougainville Island, there are more than 600 large and small islands.

Also because of this extremely fragmented terrain, it is almost a human museum, characterized by a huge cultural diversity.Although it has a population of just over 700 million, there are more than 800 different languages.

Even today Papua New Guinea is one of the last homes in the world where indigenous people can maintain their traditional way of life.

The island has undulating mountains and deep canyons. This unique geographical condition makes the modern world only exist in the coastal areas and stops in front of the mountains, so that many anthropologists now choose to conduct research in that place.

And more than half a century ago, this place was a pure wilderness, so it naturally attracted many scholars to carry out research work in this area, including the owner of the record that Liang En was looking at.

It was at this time that Liang En realized that the book in his hand was actually a purely academic notebook, so it was very normal for the records to be chaotic under such circumstances.

After all, Liang En himself is considered a scholar, so he has a notebook very similar to this one in his hand, mainly to record the fleeting inspiration.

These documents are basically the observations of those tribes, especially the detailed descriptions of some tribal folk customs, and many modern traces of primitive tribes are recorded in these records.

Those modern traces mainly come from the traces left by the armies of various countries in the Second World War. In early 1943, after the Japanese army suffered setbacks on Guadalcanal Island and the Papua Peninsula, they continued to increase their troops in the northeastern part of New Guinea in an attempt to establish a solid defense system. Rabaul's perimeter defense.

After obtaining this information, the US-Australian allied forces launched offensive campaigns against the Japanese army in New Guinea and its nearby islands from June 1943 to July 6, and finally successfully destroyed the Japanese devils' attempt.

In history, only 20 of the 1 soldiers who went to the battlefield survived, and only half of them died in battle, while the other half died in the vast tropical rainforest.

It is also for this reason that a large amount of military supplies are left in the local area, and because of the terrain, those items are almost impossible to recover, so they are naturally used by the local tribes.

This matter is very normal for those who just ended World War II, so this scholar is just an ordinary record, but Liang En discovered a strange part in the seemingly ordinary record.

"Judging from the accompanying photos, it is very likely that what the tribe found came from the missing ship, because the pattern drawn on the iron sheet that was regarded as the roof by the group happened to be the emblem of the missing ship."

Just when Liang En was looking at the contents of the photo and fell into deep thought, Nelson explained in a low voice what the slightly blurred pattern on the photo was.

After being reminded by him, Liang En also realized that the pattern on it was indeed the badge of the missing merchant ship called Voyager, so he turned his head and asked.

"If I'm not wrong, you should have sent someone to investigate where the tribe is. Can you tell me what you found there?"
