Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

After Li Mo hung up the satellite video phone, he sent the video and photos of the early Northern Song Dynasty celadon bowl. After receiving the call, Director Zhou quickly projected it onto the large screen in the conference room. All the experts and superiors participating in the meeting also temporarily interrupted the meeting.

Qin Yali presided over today's meeting. After all, Li Mo's archeology at sea is different from land archeology. Once a sunken ship is found on the seabed, it requires the support of experts who are good at marine archeology. She is preparing to communicate with the heads of various oceanographic research institutes today so that she can respond immediately if support is needed.

Unexpectedly, before the meeting ended, good news came from Li Mo.

“Director Zhou, the video taken on the bottom of the sea is very clear, and the appearance of the sunken ship seems to be very large.”

“Director Qin, according to visual inspection, this shipwreck from the Northern Song Dynasty is probably larger than the Nanhai No. 1 and Nanhai No. 2 that we have salvaged. It will set a new record for marine archeology in our country.”

 Director Zhou’s eyes are particularly bright.

“The appearance of the Northern Song Dynasty shipwreck discovered by Academician Li is also well preserved, and the goods carried inside should also be well preserved.”

“Another great marine archaeological discovery. I think as long as Academician Li takes action, there will be no treasure that he can’t find.”

“This is a truth that has been learned through practice time and time again. If overseas countries allow it, Academician Li will definitely be able to search for treasures all over the world.”

Qin Yali cleared her throat and said: "Now that Academician Li has discovered a shipwreck from the Northern Song Dynasty, we need everyone's help. Director Zhou, you have participated in two ocean salvage processes and are most familiar with the process. Please explain it to everyone first." One lecture.”

Director Zhou looked away from the screen and said: "In fact, the most difficult part of marine archeology is how to completely salvage the sunken ship from the seabed. This technology has been solved. The second step is to find a suitable location to establish a marine sunken archaeological site. , and a corresponding maritime museum needs to be established.”

"We all know that the sunken treasures recovered from the ocean have been soaked in high-concentration seawater for thousands of years. They need special treatment after being recovered. Otherwise, the porcelain will cause glaze when exposed to the oxygen environment after being separated from the ocean environment. Changes in the surface. It is best for the archaeological research site and the museum to be located offshore. Regarding these two points, we need to communicate with Academician Li in advance to see which city in the coastal area is suitable."

Qin Yali nodded. This matter must be reported as soon as possible. If it is confirmed that there is a large amount of sunken treasure on the sunken ship, once the news is spread, it will immediately alarm the major cities along the coast.

A total of 178,000 sunken treasures have been recovered from the Nanhai Shipwreck No. 1 and Nanhai Shipwreck No. 2, and some are rare treasures whose total value is immeasurable.

 Once a city is selected, it will definitely bring strong impetus to the local economy.

"Director Zhou, we will take a two-step approach. First, the Institute of Marine Archeology will take the lead. We will immediately rush to the South China Sea to join Academician Li to confirm more shipwrecks as soon as possible. Then I will report the details to my superiors, which coastal city will be the final destination? Whether it is suitable to build a new marine archaeological base or a shipwreck museum requires not only careful consideration by superiors, but also Academician Li’s ideas.”

"Okay, then we will arrange support immediately after the meeting."

On the Gu Yunxuan salvage boat, Li Mo enthusiastically took out his equipment and started fishing after lunch. At noon, the sun and sea breeze were quite torturous. It had only been more than a day and he felt that the skin on his face was a little uncomfortable.

“Boss, the protective mask prepared for you should be more comfortable on the skin on your face after wearing it.”

 Tonghui brought him a black silk mask that he had prepared in advance. He put it on his head to block the light and protect his skin, so he wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

Li Mo took it and put it on and said with a smile: "Tongchui, you are quite careful in your work."

“When I first entered the Navy, I was an orderly.”

“I see, it will take a lot of time to follow me out this time. Have you agreed with your family?” Li Mo chatted with him while playing with the bait.

“My wife is used to it, so I can understand it after telling her.”

"When this mission is over, I will give each of you a month's vacation to spend time with your wife and children at home. After the mission is over, you don't want to go back to the safety shield. Come and work by my side. You can choose a few more If you can trust me, train him well.”

Tongchui suppressed the excitement in his heart. The boss wanted to train him as a confidant. Look at the senior executives who follow the boss. They were all retired soldiers, and now they are all influential figures. Before him, Brown Bear had always been with his boss. Following him for more than ten years, he had already settled in Kyoto. Now he is the boss of a catering chain company, which is regarded as the boss's recognition of his work.

 “Yes, boss, I will work hard.”

“Well, I will ask Chen Xiaojun to arrange a house for you first. After you have worked hard with me for five years, the house will be transferred to you.”

Whether it is a house in Kyoto or a house in Yandu, a house costs at least four to five million. If you work with the boss for five years, you can get a house as a reward. This makes Tongchui decide to hand over his life to the boss. .

“The marine archeology experts from Kyoto are expected to arrive tomorrow. You have to make arrangements for their food and accommodation. If you have anything you don’t understand, just contact Brown Bear when you have time, and he will tell you what to do.”

"yes."

 “Oops, a big fish has taken the bait.”

Li Mo suddenly began to exert force, and the fishing rod was bent to the limit by the big fish. The force was extremely strong. Fortunately, I have experience. While reeling in the line and fighting, many people have gathered around, and the live broadcast has begun.

Tongchui turned his head and looked at Lu Guoqing and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, you said that every time you broadcast the boss fishing in the sea, do you think those netizens think that the boss is not doing his job properly and that he is actually coming to the South China Sea to create such a big fight? Do you want to go fishing?"

 Lv Guoqing originally had a bright smile on his face, because as soon as he started the live broadcast, the platform seized the keywords and pushed traffic directly, and the number of people online in the live broadcast room soared. But after hearing what Tongchui said, he glanced at the screen guiltily. Sure enough, a netizen had already left a message asking why Aunt Li was fishing in the sea again.

 Perhaps the land can no longer trap the fairy eye's hands and feet, and he will finally start to wander on the sea.

 Or didn’t Li Dashen go out to sea to hunt for treasure? Why did he start fishing in the sea? He has too much money to spend, and he must be too grand.

  And so on.

There was sweat on Lu Guoqing's forehead. He whispered to his subordinate: "Stop broadcasting immediately."

Tongchui is Li Mo's confidant, and his words may mean what Li Mo means.

“Tonghammer, come and see what kind of sea fish this is?”

Li Mo has already put the sea fish on the boat and is jumping on the deck.

 “This is the six-banded grouper, and we will have another good meal at night.”

There are so many types of sea fish. Li Mo basically didn’t recognize the sea fish he caught yesterday. Fish of the same type are divided into many branches and have different lengths.

Ge Zhenfei also got a set of fishing equipment, and Lu Guoqing also wanted to play with it, but they were working with Li Mo, so it didn't seem good to play like this. "Mr. Lu, if you don't play today, you won't have time to play anymore from tomorrow on. Once the marine archeology experts arrive, you will be busy."

 Since Li Mo said so, Lu Guoqing no longer hesitated. Sea fishing is boring when done alone, but only with a few people can there be a sense of competition.

 This is the second day Li Mo spent in the South China Sea.

 On the third day at around seven o'clock in the morning, Bronze Hammer came over and knocked on the door gently.

Li Mo stood up and opened the door.

“Boss, the superior made a satellite phone call and said that five marine archaeological experts will arrive in an hour, along with a person in charge of the cultural management bureau and two TV media staff.”

"So fast?"

“They set out from the port before dawn and were escorted all the way by the coast guard.”

“Okay, then inform the others. I estimate that as soon as the marine archaeological experts arrive, they may start working immediately to prepare Mr. Lu and others to go to the sea at any time.”

It is relatively easy for Li Mo to find ocean sunken ships, it just takes time. But finding it is one thing, salvaging it is not his specialty.

 Before half past half in the morning, a coast guard ship approached. It was about the same size as an ocean-going fishing boat. It was a small figure in front of the Gu Yunxuan salvage boat. They boarded the deck of the salvage ship through a crane. Li Mo stepped forward and shook hands with Director Zhou and said with a smile: "Originally, I thought it would take ten days and a half before I would have the opportunity to meet with the experts. I didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly. .”

"It's not only a surprise to us, but also a bit scary. According to the speed of your treasure hunt, Academician Li, I estimate that you have already found the second sunken ship before the first sunken ship has been salvaged. We can't even catch up with you on the plane. speed."

 There was a burst of laughter on the deck.

The person in charge of the Cultural Affairs Bureau was a man in his forties. Li Mo looked familiar to him. He should have been Qin Yali's assistant before, but he did not expect that he was now the head of the Cultural Affairs Bureau.

"Academician Li, let me introduce to you. This is Director Wang, but his superiors specially arranged to come here to talk to you about something important. He won't always be with us. Let's talk to other people first. You and Director Wang are alone. chat."

 “Hello, Mr. Wang.”

While shaking hands with him, Li Mo felt strange in his heart. If anything could be communicated directly on the phone, why would it be necessary to arrange for the person in charge of the Cultural Affairs Bureau to come over for an interview. Since an interview is necessary, it must be a very important matter.

“Academician Li, please, let’s talk inside.”

 “Okay, Mr. Wang invites you.”

The two of them walked into the office cabin. Tong Shui followed them and made a pot of tea, then walked to the door.

“Wang Ju, let’s have some tea first. You don’t need land on the sea. Did you get seasick all the way here?”

Wang Ju smiled: "I was prepared for it and took a pill for seasickness. Academician Li, the main reason why I came here this time is to discuss with you the work arrangements after the sunken ship is salvaged?"

Li Mo poured him a cup of tea: "I have found a sunken ship, but the specific situation still needs the help of marine archaeological experts to judge. Isn't it a little early to discuss the follow-up matters?"

“So far, Academician Li has never failed.”

 You have said so. No matter how modest I am, it will seem too fake.

“Wang Ju, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly.”

"Regarding the follow-up archaeological matters, Director Zhou and other marine archeology experts also put forward some suggestions, that is, the sunken treasures salvaged from the ocean are not suitable for establishing an archaeological research store and a marine sunken treasure museum in Yandu. This point , Academician Li, have you ever thought about it?"

 “Well, I understand this.”

"That's good. The superior's intention is to select a city on the coast as a pilot. This will not only facilitate the transfer of sunken treasures in the later period, but also facilitate the archaeological matters that will last for several years in the future. It can also promote the local economy, drive tourism, and the catering industry. , hotel industry and other overall development.”

The superiors considered the overall situation. Li Mo thought this idea was good, because he didn't know how many sunken treasures he would find in the ocean. If the first pilot was successful, it could be used as a template for future choices. You can copy it directly when you are in two cities.

“I don’t have any objection. I will just follow what my superiors arrange.”

Director Wang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The superiors held an emergency meeting yesterday and listened to the opinions of many economic experts. Now they have put forward several alternative plans for port cities. You can take a look first.

Li Mo took the document from his hand, opened it and looked at it. It was a detailed distribution map of coastal port cities, with some advantages of each city listed at the back. After spending ten minutes reading it, Li Mo closed the document and began to think deeply.

Wang Bureau was not in a hurry. After a while, he saw Li Mo and asked: "Which port city is the superior's favorite?"

“If it is a port city with a developed economy, then this proposal will lose its meaning. But if it is a port city with a slightly slower economic development, then the official funds may not be able to bear it in the later urban planning and urban construction process.”

Li Mo understands these words quite well. No matter which port city it is in, the later urban planning will revolve around the shipwreck treasure museum, and the tourism, hotel and catering industries will all have it as its core.

“Wang Ju, as long as you have enough lands, you don’t need to worry about those lands being useless.”

Li Mo said confidently.

“How about choosing a township for the first pilot city? Then we can take advantage of the situation and be close to major economic areas such as Jinling, Suzhou, and Shanghai.?”

Li Mo looked at the map and then said: "That's it, this shipwreck treasure from the Northern Song Dynasty can be salvaged very quickly, so it is very important how the selected port city cooperates in the later stage. Don't make excuses to hold back. Then Things get difficult. The first thing to do is to build a marine archaeological research point, and then the sunken treasures will be transported directly there. Then based on the preliminary treasure recovery, the scale of the sunken treasure museum will be decided before construction. As long as these Once things are confirmed, the project will progress very quickly.”

"I understand. I will truthfully report your thoughts to my superiors and give you a final answer as soon as possible. Of course, if you have a good choice, you can put it forward to us in time. Although we prefer the town, we will also Send out a notice asking major port cities to sign up first and list their biggest policy discounts. The process has to go through, so let them show their most competitive attitude."

Li Mo asked casually: "What if this preferred port city is not interested in this? Or it thinks that it has no advantages at all and just makes a mess?"

Wang Ju was stunned for a moment and then said: "This can only depend on the decision made by the superiors."
