It was... She raised her eyebrows - it was in the file directory of the Great Demon King.

The detailed file was so secret that only three people could read it. On the directory, there were always eye-catching titles like "Lop Nur". Compared with "Tianhai No. [-]", she didn't notice much. .

But Aliya will go to Tianyang City, so it probably has nothing to do with this... right?

She chewed the hamburger in her hand, narrowed her eyes slightly, and thoughtful light flickered in her eyes...

Tianyang City · Tianhai No. [-] Shipwreck Memorial Hall

When Aliya woke up, she found that something strange had been done to her - she felt her body was pressed down, and someone was on top.

Half a second later, she confirmed that it was not Li Guang's small stewed chicken noodles through the short legs and the elimination method.

Oh, the guide bear...

Xiong Luoli was sleeping soundly lying on top of her, her posture was extremely arrogant, she looked like she was rolling on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

Aliya yawned, lifted the little guy and put it aside: "Is it already there?"

The three card players outside looked over: "Are you awake? It's been a while, do you want to wash up?"

That's the thing about RVs, and if you want, you can even wash your hands in the car, do something shameful, and drive while you're driving.

Aliya didn't mean to drive, she simply sobered up, and led the guide bear to the so-called Tianhai No. [-] Shipwreck Memorial Hall.

This time Quantum Dragon God didn't come out to watch the fun, presumably he didn't find anything special - at least there was no special magnetic field that could wake up the Q version of Quantum Dragon God before.

"Tianyang City is close to the sea, and its shipping has been very developed since ancient times. The sunken ship Tianhai No. [-] was discovered on the route of the ancient Maritime Silk Road." The khaki wildly gestured to the huge memorial hall in front of it: " It’s just that the Maritime Silk Road now probably exists in tourist attractions.”

Everyone went inside curiously. The memorial hall of Tianhai No. [-] was full of the style of a republic-style memorial hall. The large texts combined with the color schemes that looked like promotional display boards made people's brains hurt.

Fortunately, Khaki Wild was on the side to explain, which made this confusing basic process a little bit more interesting.

In fact, the discovery of Tianhai No. [-] was purely accidental. Originally, the salvage bureau on the Republic side was planning to salvage an ancient shipwreck named "Rheinburg". The origin of that ship was found by a British marine exploration company— —When the other party was looking for information in the Dutch library, he found the sunken ship belonging to the East India Company, and confirmed that there were [-] tons of tin ingots and six boxes of silver on it.

Tin ingots are not worth much now. After large-scale industrial production, the average price per ton is only 30. The purity of [-] tons of tin ingots may not be as good as the current industrial products. The real value is the silver and other The on-board antiques, tin ingots worth more than [-] yuan are at best a bonus.

Then the joint salvage team salvaged in the sea area where the record was located, but found nothing after touching the bottom of the sea. Seeing that two months had passed, the small money was almost spent, but the salvage team found nothing.

Later, on the side of the Republic, 27 nautical miles south of the modern port, a small protrusion was found that was only one meter square. The depth of the sea in this area was [-] meters, which was equivalent to the height of an eight or nine-story building. Under the ocean currents, the visibility of the rolling silt is extremely low, and even sunken ships have long been covered by silt.

The salvagemen on the Republic side went down to take out a wooden sample with great difficulty, and then found that the wood was not right, unlike the current sunken ship. The joint salvage team could not continue to explore in detail manually, so they gritted their teeth and directly got off the mechanical grab. Violently grabbed a whole handful of samples.

In the end, the guy who grabbed the bucket was an out-and-out Ouhuang. He grabbed one of the most valuable items of Tianhai No. [-] in the first grab. Everyone cleaned the samples and looked at them. They were frightened at the time. —There is a belt of pure gold!

Well, the belt is nothing, the problem is that this golden belt is more than two meters long...

At this time, everyone discovered that the treasure had been dug. After checking the information, they found that the ship was most likely a sunken ship in the Southern Song Dynasty. It came from more than 800 years ago, and the Rheinburg they were looking for was destroyed by a typhoon in 1772. The attack sank, and the gap between everyone has gone.

"At that time, the Salvage Bureau wanted to use caissons to salvage the entire ship, but directly used the cofferdam technology of marine bridge-building level. It turned out that the silt was too strong, and the caisson could not go down. There was no way to wrap the entire sunken Tianhai No. [-] ship. Hold on, gritted your teeth and dismantled the pier, and pressed [-] tons of cement blocks on the caisson."

"Four thousand tons?" Brother Qiangqiang raised his eyebrows: "This is really... a big deal."

What is the concept of four thousand tons of cement blocks?A ton of cement blocks is one-third of a cubic meter. If four thousand cement blocks are stacked one ton on top of each other, they will be 120 meters high. Although it cannot be calculated so simply, this is definitely not normal The operation really took a lot of money.

"It's more than that. At that time, in order to salvage Tianhai No. [-], even the largest floating crane in the Asia-Pacific region was built. That boat was built by classmate Song's family. I don't know if she has an aunt."

"Eh?" Lianhua was stunned for a moment when she heard the words: "Really? Lifting the boat on the water...lifting..."

"The most expensive ship at that time""

"The cost is the highest—could it be the Hua Tianlong?"

"Yes, Hua Tianlong~" Khaki wildly snapped his fingers: "[-]-ton full-turn salvage and crane engineering ship."

"But I remember...well, I mean..." Lianhua considered it carefully, and said softly: "I remember Hua Tianlong, it was actually built for the development of offshore oil and gas fields, right? I don't have any impression of salvage at sea... "

"Hahaha——" Khaki laughed wildly and heartily: "It's rare to go back to my hometown. I have to brag about my own things. Otherwise, how can I express the strength of the Tianhai No. [-] salvage project? It's a pity that classmate Song doesn't give face. It was demolished half way through."

"Hold, I'm sorry..." Lianhua bowed her head a little shyly: "I didn't do it on purpose! I actually don't understand this very well. Twenty years ago, I was still a child..."

"It doesn't matter, we were all grown-ups when we salvaged it—not Missy, Missy was probably still in elementary school at that time."

"Speaking of which, how did you lift those things when four thousand tons of cement blocks were pressed down?" Brother Qiang made a gesture subconsciously: "Although I think your caissons should be deformed if four thousand tons are pressed down, and With such a solid silt, you don’t have the support at the bottom, so you can’t pull it up?”

"I can't answer this for you. The technology of piercing beams under the sea has become a state secret now, and they were all forced out. It was said that steel beams more than one meter thick could not be penetrated, and they were squeezed by mud halfway. gone."

In fact, there was a nationwide live broadcast at that time, but they would not show the details of this salvage technique to the audience.

Everyone chatted with relaxed smiles, but only Aliya thought about it.

It may be true that it was for offshore oil and gas fields, but it is not necessarily false that the ship was built for the Tianhai No. [-] salvage project.

It took 20 years to tear down the wharf and salvage Tianhai No. 4000 as a whole after pressing down more than [-] tons of cement blocks... What is it for?

Simply to commemorate the history of the Maritime Silk Road 800 years ago?

Although it is not impossible, but I always feel that there is another story...

Aliya sensed the hall again, but there was no aura of creations or creatures from other worlds that she was familiar with.

"Where is the original destination of Tianhai No. [-]?" Aliya suddenly remembered something, and asked, "If I remember correctly, it should be an ocean-going ship, right?"

"Ah, yes, the original destination is not clear, but the land and sea Silk Road at that time could go as far as Venice-maybe it has something to do with Marco Polo, after all, he blew up the republic at that time with gold everywhere."

The trading ships set sail from the port of the Republic, passed through the Strait of Malacca from the Maritime Silk Road, and then crossed Sumatra to India. After purchasing spices in India, they returned to the mainland. This is the first section.

And Indian merchants will take the goods of the Republic exchanged for spices, such as porcelain and silk, across the Red Sea to the port of Cairo in Egypt, or through the Persian Gulf to the Mesopotamia, until the Principality of Antioch—there It is already an area close to Europa, and the Principality of Antioch itself is a product of the Crusades, a crusader country they established in Asia.

Finally, merchants in Rome and Greece will carry out the third stage of transportation, starting from places like Alexandria, and transporting these commodities back to their own countries, which is the historical Western European region.

This road can be said to run through the Asia-Pacific and Europa, and circle the coastline of the continent for half a blue star.

"Venice..." Aliya touched her chin: "What is famous in Venice?"

"Water City?" Lianhua took the lead to answer: "It was written in the text when I was a child. I used to be quite curious, but after going there once, I think it's actually a bit... not worthy of the name."

"No way, Venice has always been troubled by the water city in modern times. The water level has risen too fast, and it has completely lost the comfort of the past. They were even flooded once last year, and the sea-blocking dam has no money to repair. It can only be Hold on." Brother Qiangqiang shook his head: "After all, compared to other places, Venice is just a tourist city, and Italy will not spend so much money to support a city with no more valuable output."

Xiong Luoli raised her hand happily: "Water Monster! Venice Water Monster!"

"Venice monster?" Lianhua thought for a while: "Xiaomei, you mean the Loch Ness monster, right? It's not in Venice, it's in Scotland, Loch Ness in Scotland."

"Eh? Really?" Xiong Luoli tilted her head and thought for a while: "Nice...Venice...that's Pokemon! I watched it with my aunt before! Both blue water and red water! Venice!"

Aliya came back to her senses: "Your aunt is really...cute, and the other family is not called Blue Water City, but Latios, and the red one is just a female, called Latias."

"Water doesn't sound good?"

"It sounds good, as long as you like it." Aliya stroked Xiong Luoli's little bear's head: "You should learn more from your aunt."

A woman who looks as elegant as Audrey Hepburn likes to watch cartoons while holding popcorn at home, what a childlike innocence.

Although Aliya herself was fascinated by watching the big adventure of the blue fat man on other people's TV last time, but this did not prevent her from laughing at fifty steps.

"Actually, there are many legends about water monsters in Venice. To be precise, there are many legends about sea monsters in the western world." Brother Qiangqiang smiled and said, "For example, the Norwegian sea snake, or the North Sea giant monster that everyone is more familiar with—also It's the king squid."

No one can tell how big the king squid can be, but so far the largest catch record is 22 meters. It was caught off the coast of New Zealand in the 30s. It is said that the eyeballs are as big as a washbasin. Unfortunately, it is only said that it is not No specific physical objects remain.

Aliya thought for a while: "By the way, did the salvage of the sunken ship mention human bones? For example, the bones of the crew..."

The topic suddenly became scary. Even under the bright daylight and countless spotlights, Lianhua shivered subconsciously, and then hugged Aliya's arm tightly.

She doesn't want to remember who is suddenly talking about these weird topics...

"Uh, it seems that there was a sailor who was unlucky. The skeletons he found at first were not human. It is said that there were pots on board with boiled pork leg bones in them. The human skeletons found in the cabin later were not of the yellow species either. The person may be a foreign sailor in the Southern Song Dynasty." Khaki Kuangfang also touched his chin: "For others, they must have abandoned the ship and escaped, right? And the ocean-going cargo ship is not a passenger ship, so there should not be many people."

"The other people are lucky, maybe they all survived at that time." Aliya nodded: "I heard that the restoration ship of Tianhai No. [-] is in the memorial hall, can we go and see it?"

"Of course, it's not just a restoration ship, but a physical ship designed to float at sea."

The exhibition hall is actually very large. There are many statues on both sides that restore the customs of the time, or weaving nets or fishing. With the background wall, it is like looking at old photos. Further inside are various detail showcases, displaying different Few items were salvaged from the sunken Tianhai No. [-] ship, and most of them were porcelain.

When passing by a huge indoor space, Spicy Chicken Silk was a little surprised: "That's... the main body of Tianhai No. [-]?"

"Well, the salvage and cleanup work has not been fully completed yet. After all, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of porcelain on board, and it will not be so fast."

The khaki color wildly said and took a look inside. It was a huge sunken space. Below it was the sunken ship Tianhai No. [-] that was salvaged as a whole. It was covered with a huge white steel frame that could be walked on. The personnel were shuttling back and forth, busy working in an orderly manner, surrounded by blue storage baskets stacked up to a person's height, with traces of muddy water.

As if he had thought of something, he laughed and said, "Actually, it took 87 years from the discovery of the sunken ship in 16 to its salvage, and it only took 20 years to add the salvage work. Cultural relics dealers steal cultural relics, and the country even dispatched special border guards to guard them. They patrol every day and keep the details of the sunken ship secret. Leftover bomb."

From a commercial point of view, Spicy Chicken Shredded couldn't help being amazed: "Over ten years, it's really amazing. As expected of you, isn't the labor cost too high?"

If it is replaced by Milijian, the labor cost of this kind of special security day after day, the cost of more than ten years may be more expensive than the salvage cost...

"The cost of manpower is not bad. After all, the Republic has a lot of people—mainly because of the high cost of fuel. A small boat costs 1 to [-] yuan to go out to patrol the sea. A large border patrol boat costs more than [-] yuan to go out and return. One of Dad’s comrades-in-arms worked there, and he said that these expenses were all borne by the military and were not included in the salvage cost.”

"Why should the military be responsible?" Brother Qiangqiang asked in surprise, "Shouldn't it be the armed police?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because the border guards belong to the military?" Khaki Kuangfang really hasn't delved into this issue - in the world line on Blue Star's side, it's not the second-line border guards affiliated to the armed police who guard the sunken ship Tianhai No. [-] , but the front-line frontier troops directly under the provincial military region.

The fishery administration even has a special boat dispatched here, passing by every now and then, like a tiger patrolling a mountain.

But ordinary people don't care about these details. These unusual people are usually busy doing things, so they don't pay much attention.

It was also here that Alia stopped in her tracks, frowning slightly.

She turned her head towards the huge indoor space, thought for a while, and asked softly, "When was Tianhai No. [-] salvaged?"

"It must have been in [-]." Khaki recalled wildly: "At the end of [-], the water was salvaged as a whole, and then sent to the museum here. Anyway, I think it can be visited here in [-]."

"It's been more than ten years... no wonder..." she muttered, and finally took a deep breath: "Let's go, continue to visit."

"Your museum is not small." Spicy Chicken Silk looked left and right: "It takes a lot of money to maintain the museum every year, right? Is it profitable? Can I buy shares?"

"In terms of cost... 5000 million was spent on salvage, and 5000 million was spent on repairing the museum. That's not counting the 2000 million annual maintenance expenses of the museum. I don't think it's okay to invest in shares."

"Why? Do you discriminate against investors? You are operating at a loss, I don't think so."

"We have been digging this shipwreck for more than ten years. Sometimes other meanings are greater than commercial value... We are also waiting with gritted teeth. At the beginning, there was a lot of noise in the newspapers, saying that this is a world miracle comparable to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Dunhuang, say this is the most precious underwater treasure in history - but in fact you see, this is actually just a merchant ship from 800 years ago."

"But it does have a lot of antiques."

"It's called cultural relics. In addition, many cultural relics are a good thing, but it was a bad thing when our technology was immature... Mike Hatcher, the British treasure thief, was eyeing our shipwreck, and that guy dug it out in our waters. Hundreds of thousands of cultural relics were directly smashed in half, and the other half was sold at a high price." Khaki looked wildly at the huge museum: "I didn't have the ability at the time, our experts took tens of thousands of dollars to squeeze out funds, but I can't even afford a porcelain bowl from my own country..."

Brother Qiang's expression restrained for a while, and finally he could only shrug his shoulders: "Fortunately, I'm German, not British, so I won't be too embarrassed."

Spicy Chicken Shredded straightened her hair, thought for a while but didn't speak, and stopped mentioning these business topics.

There are wooden aisles and stairs in the Tianhai No. [-] Museum. Walking inside is sometimes like walking on a wooden boat. It is quite interesting to cooperate with the surrounding exhibits and restoration of the ship's appliances.

Of course, it’s quite interesting to go wherever there are many people. It’s not that Spicy Chicken has never been to a museum before, but the feeling of opening a museum just for her after closing is far better than not She was having fun chatting and laughing with her little friends. At the beginning, she only had one binding prop, the crying cat head, but now there are five big four of Blue Star's new generation who can communicate on an equal footing.

It's just that Alia seems to be talking a little bit - Spicy Chicken Silk looked back curiously, but saw that Alia's expression was not too cheerful, and even her lips were pursed down, showing a somewhat solemn and solemn look.
