Chapter 456
In this vast sea area, the sea water gradually becomes blue and clear.

Even at the bottom of the sea more than 20 meters below, the surrounding environment becomes clearly visible.The sunlight directly above the head is refracted layer by layer by the sea water, forming a gorgeous scenery in the sea.

Chen Zhengqian stepped on the soft sea mud, walking among fish schools and tiny underwater creatures.

There are not only many coral clusters here, but also colorful marine life living in the coral clusters. What is even more unexpected is that there are many ancient cultural relics hidden under this seabed.

Along the way, Chen Zhengqian has already seen no less than ten porcelain shards of different shapes.There are cups, dishes, and bottles and jars, all in fragments, and the best parts are half missing.

The porcelain fragments this time are probably from an ancient shipwreck that ran aground here. After the tide receded, the ship tipped over or even overturned, and were scattered on the seabed.

Maybe it will be swept away by subsequent winds and waves, scattered everywhere, eroded by time and sea water, and then attached to it by marine life, and finally become the current pitted state.

Hmm, so ugly.

Apart from using it for research, there is basically no material value like this, so Chen Zhengqian has no intention of taking it away.

His goal is always to sink the ship.

Only the undiscovered treasures in the sunken ship are worth digging.

Although it sounds a bit vulgar, but this is the reality, otherwise why did he come here all the way, is it just to catch fish and shrimp?

Give me a break.

Many people don't know that the real valuables in the sea are never fish, but those ancient shipwreck artifacts.

Ancient merchant ships traveled between China and overseas countries, and what they carried on board were either silk tea or porcelain, or ivory jewelry and spices brought back from overseas, or silver and gold nuggets directly.

Of course, most people pay more attention to how much these cultural relics are worth and whether they have any real value.

What archaeologists pay more attention to, or in other words, the purpose of archeology itself, is to restore the history of that time as much as possible from numerous historical relics.Let us modern people better understand how people in that era lived, so as to narrow the distance between modern and ancient times.

Chen Zhengqian is not as great as the archaeologists. In order to make up for the gap in history, he made silent contributions.But they will not be as eager for quick success as tomb robbers, who will use explosives to blow up sunken ships on the bottom of the sea.

For him, the best way is to move all these valuable treasures back to his home, ha.

There were more and more porcelain scattered around, and Chen Zhengqian felt more and more distressed. If they were all in good condition, how much would they be worth.

Please forgive his mentality of being a humble man, he hasn't learned how to spend money lavishly until now.

Finally, the figure of the sunken ship appeared.

This is a depression of nearly 20 square meters, surrounded by corals, with an average depth of [-] meters, and some corals are only five or six meters above the sea surface.

Seeing this situation, Chen Zhengqian probably understood why the ship sank here.

There are actually mountains in the seabed. Around some of the mountains in the sea, there will be coral clusters. These corals form a terrain called coral atoll.

However, after some crustal movement, some peaks have sunk, but the coral atoll is still there, and it is still growing.

When the tide is usually high, these coral atolls will not emerge from the water, but they do exist, and some merchant ships can easily run aground on the rocks.Then the tide goes out, and the ships can just stay here forever.

Chen Zhengqian entered this depression surrounded by coral reefs, and saw the sunken ship buried by seabed mud and various weeds.

This is a medium-sized ancient wooden merchant ship. Its length is about 20 meters and its width is 7-8 meters. The mast has long been flying. Most of the hull is deeply buried on the seabed, and only part of the hull is exposed. surface.

It is estimated that because of this, it has not been discovered.If the National Underwater Archeology Team discovers this ship, they will probably be very excited.

It's a pity that Chen Zhengqian discovered this ship, so they are destined to lose their share.

I don't know if anyone else has discovered this sunken ship. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is better to empty the contents as soon as possible.

Chen Zhengqian ignored the surrounding weeds, but carefully searched the surroundings, and after confirming that there were no valuable treasures scattered outside, he planned to start excavating from the deck of the bow.

He is not someone from the underwater archaeological team, and he doesn't care about the origin of the ship. He only cares about whether there are valuable things in it, so the excavation process will inevitably be simple and rough.

But as long as it doesn't damage the main body inside, it doesn't matter.

The time may be relatively long. When others discover a sunken ship, it is calculated in years.Chen Zhengqian was not in a hurry, after all they were found, and the sunken ship would not run away with long legs.

Like him, it took only a few hours from searching to digging. If it spread, it would be a fantasy, and no one would believe it.

However, during the excavation process, some broken porcelain would be dug up from time to time. Chen Zhengqian felt distressed when he saw it. After washing away the sludge, he found beautiful porcelain as white as new, including blue and white porcelain, white porcelain, pastel colors, etc.

It's all money!
It's a pity that they are all broken. Even if they are repaired, it is estimated that it will be difficult to sell them at a high price.

Even so, Chen Zhengqian picked out some less broken ones that were easy to repair and put them away, and asked old man Yu if there was any way to fix them.After all, now that technology is so developed, there are always some experts in the antique industry who can make up for it so that people can't see the traces.

In addition, when Chen Zhengqian saw the famille rose, he understood that it was probably a shipwreck from the Qing Dynasty.

Sure enough, when I saw the bottom of a broken bottle with the words "Jiaqing Year System" written on it, the age of the shipwreck was confirmed.Chen Zhengqian also felt relieved.

Generally, official kiln porcelain is signed with the six-character style of "Jiaqing Year System of the Great Qing Dynasty". Only the porcelain of folk kilns can write the four-character style of "Jiaqing Year System".

Jiaqing was the seventh emperor of the Qing Dynasty (the fifth after entering the customs), that is, the son of Qianlong, who reigned around 1800.

Chen Zhengqian also didn't remember very clearly. After all, there were so many emperors in China for 5000 years, who could remember so many.

However, although the porcelain of the Jiaqing period is not the peak, and can even be said to be the beginning of the decline of JDZ porcelain, it is still good and its value is not low.

Well, let's dig things out first.

Silently clearing the mud, Chen Zhengqian finally dug up the first complete object.
