…
Since it couldn't appear casually, it meant that it was impossible to see Xiaolong often.
After this trip, if there was no chance in the future, Tang Feifei was still a little worried and even a little disappointed.
"Of course …"
Qin Fang comforted gently, "After we go back, we will buy a house by the sea. Whenever we want, we will let Xiaolong take us out to sea. We can go wherever we want …"
In fact, Qin Fang had already thought of this idea when Xiaolong came out.
Xiaolong's body was too huge, and it would continue to grow in the future. It was very unsuitable for it to appear in the coastal waters. Only in the vast open sea could it really play freely.
The ocean was the territory of the dragon.
Only here, Xiaolong could really exert its powerful strength.
Xiaolong swam very fast in the sea. No fish could be compared with it. They were not on the same level at all.
As long as it wanted, it could even take Qin Fang across the Pacific Ocean in a day, from one end of the ocean to the other end.
They could buy a house by the sea and get a boat. When they wanted to go out to sea, they could row the boat out to sea. As long as they avoided the sight of humans, he could put away the boat. Then, Xiaolong would take them directly from the bottom of the sea to the open sea. No one would know … and it was very safe!
"En, we will buy it when we go back …"
Hearing Qin Fang's words, Tang Feifei also agreed.
Xiaolong was such a magical creature. If it was not used often, it would be a pity. Riding a dragon on the sea, what a comfortable life!
As for the money to buy a house, Qin Fang was definitely not short of it. Even Tang Feifei, a little rich woman, could take it out, so the two naturally would not worry about this small problem.
"Master, there is a sunken ship ahead, but there is another ship on the sea. It seems to be difficult to salvage …"
Just when Qin Fang and Tang Feifei were thinking about this matter, Xiaolong suddenly sent a telepathic message and reported such a situation.
"Eh …"
Upon hearing this news, Qin Fang was slightly taken aback. His voice couldn't help but change a little, and his expression also changed a little.
"What's wrong?
Where do you feel uncomfortable? "
Hearing Qin Fang's strange reaction, Tang Feifei also asked with some doubts.
"Xiaolong told me that there's some movement up ahead …"
Qin Fang shook his head, indicating that he was fine, but he still explained some things.
"Is there any movement?"
Tang Feifei felt a little strange. They were in the sea, and they were under the sea. What could make Qin Fang's face change like this? She also felt a little strange.
"We'll know once we take a look …"
Qin Fang shook his head. Xiaolong had only told him a few simple things. As for the specific situation, they would need to go and see for themselves to know.
Tang Feifei didn't say anything, and Xiaolong quickly rushed forward, and soon arrived at the destination.
"This is … an ancient shipwreck?"
Xiaolong was docked at the bottom of the sea, just next to the shipwreck. Qin Fang could even see the shipwreck with his eyes.
The age of this shipwreck seems to be quite long. The hull has long decayed, and it is covered by some plankton in the sea, covering its original appearance.
However, judging from its sails, masts, etc., it was obviously not the shape of a modern ship. Most of it was made of wood. It should be an ancient shipwreck.
As for which era it was from, Qin Fang had no way to determine.
Even with his master-level detection skill, the final answer was only … a decaying ancient shipwreck.
"Is it a treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty?"
This ship was very large. Although it was fragmented, Qin Fang could still vaguely distinguish its outline. It was somewhat similar to the size of the treasure ship recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Before the development of modern ships, the shipbuilding industry of Long Province had always been the world's leader. It developed to the peak in the Ming Dynasty. It could be said that it was the most prosperous era of the shipbuilding industry.
The Ming Dynasty treasure ships supervised by the Sanbao Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty were almost invincible. In terms of scale alone, even now, it was incomparably huge, even comparable to a small aircraft carrier.
In that era, the Sanbao Eunuch led the fleet to the sea many times to the Southeast Asian countries. He even crossed the Indian Ocean and reached the Middle East and Africa on the coast of the Red Sea …
In this process, there were many treasure ships that were silent in the sea for some reason, and they had not been salvaged yet …
At that time, the Great Ming Dynasty was prosperous. When they went to other countries, they even regarded themselves as the best country in the world. Therefore, a lot of precious items were carried on the ship, such as porcelain, silk, tea leaves, etc … Among them, there were some very rare goods. These things were exchanged for some spices, ivory, and some useful or useless things!
Regardless of whether this deal was a profit or a loss, the value of the goods on each ship was unimaginable.
If it was put in the present, it would definitely be an astronomical figure …
Every ship was like this, so the silence of even one ship was a great loss.
But in fact, on the way back, the sunken treasure ships were definitely not as simple as one or two. The conditions at the beginning were not enough to support the salvage of the sunken ships. Most of them directly rescued the people and quickly returned.
Although Qin Fang did not study the relevant history, he also knew that every time the Sanbao Eunuch set out, there were at least twenty to thirty treasure ships in the huge fleet. But, if there were really seven or eight ships that could return intact, it would be considered good …
Perhaps it was such a loss, coupled with the loss of financial resources, that after experiencing such a torment several times, the Great Ming Dynasty never had such a long voyage again.
But, countless treasure ships with a lot of precious treasures were silent in the sea on this route, and they sank for hundreds of years.
In modern times, with the development of the shipbuilding industry, modern ships continued to appear, coupled with the increase of some modern facilities, salvaging sunken ships became a good way for many people to get rich.
As far as Qin Fang knew, he once heard Kong Er tell such an anecdote. Only a few people knew whether it was true or not, and most people did not know about it.
The main character of this anecdote was one of the ancestors of the Song Family's Eldest Young Master who organized this yacht party. It was said that the reason why he was able to become rich so quickly and started from the shipbuilding industry was because of his good luck. He happened to salvage a sunken Ming Dynasty treasure ship.
The treasures on the treasure ship were sold by him, and he accumulated enough assets to enter the shipbuilding industry. After the efforts of several generations, he had a huge reputation today and was ranked as one of the top ten wealthy families in Hong Kong.
Even now, the Song Family would spend a lot of money every year to send ships out to sea to find clues of some sunken ships and specify some feasible salvage plans.
Although it was rare to hear of a successful salvage, it also confirmed from another perspective that this anecdote might be true … It also showed that the wealth in this sunken ship was absolutely priceless.
This sunken ship should also be a treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty. It has been sunk on the seabed for hundreds of years. Now, there was a ship above Qin Fang's head that was about to salvage it.
"A ship from Luzon?"
It's just that when Qin Fang rode the little dragon slightly closer to the ship, he still found that this ship was from Luzon.
"Are we already in the Luzon sea area?"
With this discovery, Qin Fang inevitably had such a thought in his heart.
They sat on the head of the little dragon, moving freely in the sea without much scruples. As long as he wanted to turn back, the little dragon could accurately send them to the place.
But because of this, Qin Fang was puzzled. He thought that they had come from Hong Kong close to the coastline of Long Province to the Luzon sea area thousands of miles away.
Luzon and Long Province's sea area were adjacent. The two countries even had very strict contact with each other on the ownership of Huangyan Island. The attitude of the Long Province government once made Qin Fang very depressed, but he couldn't do anything about it.
But to some extent, Qin Fang didn't have a good impression of Luzon …
Although this sunken ship belonged to the Long Province, it was hundreds of years ago. It was difficult to determine which country it belonged to now.
Generally speaking, it depended on which country's sea area it was sunken in.
For example, if this ship was sunken in the Luzon sea area, then it was understandable that Luzon's ships would come to salvage it.
In fact, these sunken ships on the sea were generally owned by whoever salvaged them. They didn't care too much about which country it belonged to.
For example, there were several famous rich businessmen from the United Kingdom and the United States. They gathered a lot of money and bought their own salvage ships, advanced salvage equipment, and large amounts of money and personnel to salvage sunken ships all over the world …
Some ships stored a lot of precious treasures, such as the precious porcelain on the Ming Dynasty's treasure ship, and a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and so on.
In short, once such a sunken ship was successfully salvaged, the huge amount of money invested before could be quickly recovered, and there would be a very considerable profit.
But if the salvage failed, if the salvage ship wasn't good enough, then it was likely that they would lose all their money …
But generally speaking, as long as the ship was salvaged from the Ming Dynasty, there was basically no reason to lose money. Therefore, salvage ships often appeared on this sea Silk Road route.
The ship in front of them was obviously like this …
"Damn it, why should the sunken ship of our Long Province's ancestors be taken advantage of by you Luzonese people …"
When he thought of the Huang Yan Island incident, Qin Fang was very unhappy. The sunken ship in front of him was a Ming Dynasty treasure ship. It was obvious that it hadn't been salvaged yet, and the treasures inside should still be there.
The salvage ship above was from Luzon, and the Luzonese monkeys wanted to salvage this ship. Qin Fang was naturally very uncomfortable.
"Wait … This is still the Long Province's sea area!"
However, when Qin Fang quietly surfaced to inquire about the news, he used the satellite positioning function of his mobile phone and unexpectedly found that this sea area was still a long way from Luzon Island. This was still the Long Province's sea area, and it was closer to the Spratly Islands than to Luzon Island.
"F * ck, this group of Luzonese monkeys actually crossed the border to salvage?"
Such a discovery immediately made Qin Fang furious.
If these Luzonese monkeys were salvaging in Luzon's sea area, Qin Fang wouldn't be happy, but he couldn't say anything. At most, he would just cause trouble, or simply take away the treasures in the sunken ship one step ahead.
But this group of Luzonese monkeys actually came to the Long Province's sea area to salvage a treasure ship. This was the same as a thief sneaking into someone's house. How could the owner be polite to these thieves?
"Feifei, what do you say?
Why don't I sink this ship? "
Qin Fang immediately returned to the bottom of the sea and briefly explained the situation to Tang Feifei. He also wanted to ask for her opinion.
Tang Feifei came from a political family, so she was a little more clear about these things than Qin Fang. The main thing was that he rashly acted like this, and she was afraid that it would cause some unnecessary trouble.
Maybe as soon as Qin Fang destroyed the Luzonese salvage ship, the Luzonese side would immediately say that the Long Province's navy bombed the Luzonese fishing ship …
These Luzonese monkeys relied on the support of the Americans behind them, and they made up a lot of these things. However, some people in power in Long Province were always soft. Other than condemnation, they couldn't do anything substantial … This made Qin Fang, a fake angry youth, become a real angry youth.
"Hit!
We must hit … "
Asking for Tang Feifei's opinion was better than not asking.
This little girl actually rarely cared about politics, especially because she was influenced by some of Old Man Tang's thoughts. Although she was not a soldier, she was quite a soldier in her bones.
When encountering such a thing, the first thought that came to her mind was … What would the old man do?
There was no doubt that the old man was born in the army. Although he had retired for many years, his fiery temper had not changed much.
As a soldier of that era, he couldn't bear to see the country's territory being occupied. Although this matter had little to do with occupying the country's territory, it was not much different.
This salvage ship didn't stay in the Luzonese waters, but came to the Long Province waters to salvage the Ming Dynasty's treasure ship that belonged to Long Province … What was the difference between this and a thief?
"Yes, hit!
Damn it, this group of Luzonese monkeys actually came to my territory to do this thing. I will definitely not forgive them … "
Qin Fang was also more inclined to destroy this Luzonese salvage ship. Now that Tang Feifei also supported his idea, he didn't have so many scruples and immediately prepared to take action.
"Little Dragon, the next step is to watch your performance. Don't let us both down …"
To deal with such a large salvage ship, Qin Fang definitely couldn't do it alone. He had to wait for the Little Dragon of the Sea to come out …
