My system is not decent

Chapter 1326 Eastern Titanic

The area of ​​our country is 960 million square kilometers, while the water area of ​​the inland sea and the border sea is about 400 million square kilometers.

Our country not only has a vast territory, but also has many ethnic groups.

Since the pre-Qin period more than 2000 years ago, the Chinese nation has thrived on this land of China.

Today, our country has a history of thousands of years of civilization.

The charm of Chinese culture is that it is a country that can accommodate all rivers.

We welcome others to learn our culture, and we are happy to spread Chinese culture to the rest of the world.

In ancient times, the most important ways for Chinese culture to communicate with foreign cultures were the land Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road.

Whether it is spiritual culture or utensil culture, they all go out to the world.

The "Jinling" shipwreck is a typical representative of this kind of communication.

According to the historical records of later generations, in 1752 A.D., it was the period when the Qing government ruled in our country, and the reigning emperor was Emperor Qianlong.

In the winter of this year, a merchant ship named "Godmarsen", loaded with my country's porcelain and gold, sailed from Jinling to Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

This is a ship full of cargo, and if it can arrive smoothly, it will be of great benefit.

However, after sailing for [-] days, the ship sank in the waters of the South my country Sea because it hit a rock.

This ship also had another name, and people at that time called it "Jinling".

This is not the first ship to be silent in the South China Sea. It can be said that there may be countless treasures hidden in the seabed of the South China Sea.

In modern times, in order to make a fortune, some foreigners have set their eyes on ancient shipwrecks in our country.

In the 80s of the last century, many people abroad set up expeditions to explore the South my country Sea in order to find treasures sunken in the seabed.

Needless to say, some people made a fortune by salvaging ancient shipwrecks in our country and obtaining the treasures in them.

The most rampant among them is a foreigner named Mike Hatcher.

Mike Hatcher's childhood was not happy, and it can even be said that he suffered from poverty.

In order to get rid of his poverty-stricken life, he set his life goal as treasure hunting.

In 1970, Mike Hatcher established a commercial salvage company. In order to obtain greater benefits, he set his sights on the South my country Sea.

It's a pity that after making a big discovery, he was dazzled by the white porcelain.

In 1984, in the archives of the Dutch East India Company, Mike Hatcher accidentally discovered relevant records about the "Jinling" that sank in 1752.

According to some existing information and related sailing diaries, he quickly determined the location of the wreck.

Mike Hatcher came to the South my country Sea with his own expedition team.

After a long survey, he soon discovered the sunken "Jinling" and began to salvage the sunken ship.

There is no doubt that the salvage harvest this time is very rich.

In total, they salvaged over one million pieces of Qing Dynasty porcelain and more than 100 gold ingots.

He was dazzled by so many porcelains, and so were the salvage team.

That is, this salvage has become a scar in the history of archaeology.

Our country has always been famous for porcelain, even our English name is "CHINA", which has the same name as porcelain.

It's a pity that it is because the porcelain is so good that the technology tree is distorted, which causes many humiliating scenes.

This time was no exception, so we lost millions of pieces of porcelain in just one shipwreck.

If millions of pieces of porcelain are sold, they will really make a fortune.

But Mike Hatcher didn't think so, he didn't expect to fish out so much.

"Things are rare and expensive", when there are too many things, they are worthless.

In order to obtain higher benefits, he smashed 65 pieces of porcelain and only kept 23.9 pieces of blue and white porcelain.

Because in porcelain, blue and white porcelain is generally the most valuable.

Of course, this is the thinking of these foreign whites. They don't even know that the real thing is rare and expensive, not the blue and white porcelain with the largest number.

Therefore, among the remaining 65 cultural relics, no matter whether they were valuable or not, let alone its manufacturing process, or the history of the cultural relics, they were all smashed into pieces.

This incident has become a scar in the archaeological history of our country, and only the remaining 20 pieces of blue and white porcelain have already made Mike Hatcher hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.

This must be the shame and pain of national archaeology, but at that time, we had nothing to do.

The sunken ship was salvaged in the South China Sea. According to international regulations, it should belong to our country.

However, Hatcher towed the boat and the china to the high seas, saying it was salvaged on the high seas.

A year later, the wreck was judged to belong to Hatcher because it was unclaimed.

In this way, even our domestic experts were unable to recover these cultural relics even if they wanted to.

From then on, he seemed to have taken root in the South China Sea.

With money, you can hire more professional salvage personnel and buy more professional salvage equipment.

In order to find the location of the ancient shipwreck in our country, he also searched through the ancient books of our country.

In 1999, he discovered the sunken Chinese ship "Taixing" in Indonesian waters.

He spent a lot of money to fish it out of the seabed of Indonesia, and gained huge benefits all at once.

200 years ago, a huge sailing ship "Taixing" from our country, loaded with spices, silk, tea, porcelain and more than 2000 passengers, set sail from Hujianxia Port.

The ship was sailing to Batavia in Southeast Asia, but unfortunately sank when it ran aground in Indonesia, killing more than 1600 people.

This time, the casualties surpassed that of the "Titanic", and it was called the "Oriental Titanic".

In 1999, the sunken ship was salvaged out of the water, and more than 35 pieces of porcelain were released, which caused a sensation in the world.

It is a pity that these porcelains are scattered all over the world and are rarely collected in China.

The reason why Chen Wenzhe knew it was because the cultural relics from the Taixing shipwreck had been exhibited.

That exhibition was the first large-scale exhibition on the theme of the "Taixing" shipwreck in China. More than 400 artifacts from the shipwreck were exhibited, presenting the basic appearance of the porcelain from the Dehua kiln from the "Taixing" shipwreck.

And the "Taixing" ship is the largest Chinese wooden sailing ship discovered in marine archaeology, and it is also the sunken ship that salvages the most complete cultural relics.

It's a pity that the timing of discovering it is wrong. If it is changed to the present era, Hatcher will definitely not get any benefits from us, but what can we do?

At that time, we were poor and backward!

But today we have become a big country, and we will never be bullied again.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe plans to start from now.

Now that we have met Hatcher's fleet, we must mess with him anyway.

Even if there is no shipwreck here, Chen Wenzhe still wants to find trouble with him.

What's more, Hatcher's fleet seems to have gained something, mainly because there are really a lot of sunken ships in this sea area.
