Chapter 560 Beauty raises jade and goes deep into the South China Sea

Coral Temple Island is surrounded by the sea and whirling coconut groves.

Uncle Ming had set out from here before. This was the last supply point. Going deeper, there was the vast ocean with no fresh water or food.

This small fishing village with dozens of families on the island has primitive and backward living conditions. The fishermen rely on the sea to eat. In addition to fishing and pearl hunting, they also sell antiques and second-hand goods salvaged in the nearby sea. Some antiques along the coast

Dealers and collectors buy and sell here all year round.

Various currencies can be circulated, but the U.S. dollar is the hardest. Speculative adventurers and salvage teams are constantly coming to try their luck on this island. You can often hear rumors of people receiving rare treasures.

Over time, the Coral Temple Island formed a black market isolated on the sea, and it became a foreign country.

The fishermen caught a variety of things, including porcelain, weapons, spices, wood, ancient coins, statues, and glassware full of Japanese style.

There are also unopened old wines fished out of sunken ships, antiques whose age and style cannot be identified even by us connoisseurs, and even brand-name rotten leather shoes ripped off the feet of dead people on the beach.

These underworld artifacts are called Qingtou here.

After arriving at the black market on Coral Temple Island, I entered a tavern that specializes in Qingtou and asked the boss if there was anyone suitable to be a guide. Finally, a man named "Wu" successfully took over the task.

This man was lame, so he was called Bai Wu. He was a dark-looking man.

While hiring Bie Wu, I also collected a group of green heads here.

Many of these green heads are foreign products.

Like a Siberian saber.

The cross of the Catholic Church.

There is also a silver dagger, which is said to have killed vampires.

Of course, it’s hard to tell whether these things are real or fake, but after being handled by Lin Yi, they are basically authentic.

However, there is no way to compare the value of foreign goods and domestic goods.

What moved Lin Yi the most was a piece of ancient jade!

Fu Qin Jade!

The underground environment where the ancient tombs are located has eroded, so most of these artifacts are "Qin".

The colors of this Yuqin are various, and they are generally distinguished by color.

The yellow ones are more common in Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, and are Tuqin, gray lime Qin, white ones, Shuiqin, and black ones, which are most common in Ming ware, are mercury spots, also known as "cinnabar Qin" or "Chenzhou Qin".

The purple one is the corpse blood qin leached from the decomposition of the dead, and the green one is the copper qin produced by being close to the copperware.

The natural color of jade also includes black, blue, green, yellow, black, white and other colors, among which white is especially the most precious.

The piece of jade that Lin Yi collected seems ordinary, white with black veins. It is a low-grade ancient jade. It has been seriously corroded in the deep sea and has corroded the roots of the ancient jade. People who don't know the goods just treat it as a stone.

.

However, Lin Yi knew that this was a piece of top-quality ancient jade.

All you need to do is find an eighteen-year-old virgin who is as beautiful as a flower. She hides it close to her breasts for a long time and never leaves her body. She takes a shower and sleeps with her. If she keeps it for three to five years, she will definitely be able to grow a top-quality ancient jade.

.

This is called Panyu.

In ancient times, many people used young girls to raise a piece of beautiful jade.

Lao Hu and Fatty wandered around the island to get some news, while Lin Yi and Shirley Yang, led by Bai Wu, went to look for ships to go to sea.

Coral Temple Island is protruding on all sides and sunken in the middle, like a lotus blooming in the blue sea. There are only two small gaps in the southeast and southwest of the island where ships can be berthed.

However, after Lin Yi told them their request, Bai Wu did not take them to the gap, but to the back cliff of the fishing village. According to Bai Wu, there was an old water cave under the cliff, and they could also wait in the cave.

Go out to sea when the tide rises.

In this cliff cave, there is an old ship that was refitted by the British expedition team back then. However, those British people all died inexplicably before they could go to sea. Their ship is still there today.

The hull is mainly made of wooden structure, with a dark black shimmer. All rivets are embedded in the wood, and then sealed with wooden wedges. The selected material is mixed with a part of sea willow.

Sea willow is a kind of tree that grows on the seabed. It will not deform when exposed to moisture or heat, and it can withstand corrosion. It will remain as new for a long time. It is very strong and can withstand the test and baptism of the stormy waves on the sea.

Later, the pirates obtained the ship and modified it again. Later, the pirates were suppressed and fell into the hands of fishermen. Some time ago, it was favored by people from the British salvage company, and it was even modified to switch between steam burning medium and motor.

It is driven by four sets of propellers, making it maneuverable and flexible, and is equipped with lifeboats on both sides of the ship.

There are also two medium-caliber Indian water god Jinpilu cannons, which can fire four different types of shells. The ship is equipped with a winch and fishing cannon, as well as various equipment necessary for simple salvage operations.

There are two huge oval copper balls hanging at the back of the ship. This thing is called a "diving bell". It is an airtight closed diving tool. People can be loaded into it and hung by chains to fall to the bottom of the sea to detect underwater conditions.

There are still some special British equipment left in the cabin, including a British-made deep-sea rescue machine, which is heavy-duty diving equipment and can dive to a depth of about 200 meters on the seabed.

Weighing about 150 kilograms, it can ensure that divers can safely complete tasks in high pressure, low temperature, hypoxia, and dark environments.

The metal helmet is equipped with an observation window that can be connected to a rubber diving suit, and has an exhaust valve to maintain stable pressure and discharge breathing gases outwards.

This kind of equipment is still in the experimental stage so far and is a trial type during the upgrading period.

It's much better than the American products brought by Shirley Yang.

However, the Coral Spiral is a very special place. Once you enter, the sky is dark and the ground is dark, and you can't tell the direction at all. In the end, the British had to give up.

Now it is cheaper for Lin Yi and four others.

Then everyone found the owner of the ship and spent 10,000 yuan to rent the ship, while Bai Wu was responsible for overhauling the ship.

The sea is no better than the mountains, and they went to the deep sea area, not the sandy sea and shipwreck areas.

Once something happens on the sea, it will be a big problem.

There is sea water in all directions, and it is impossible to tell the direction. If you choose the wrong direction, you will be swept into the Pacific Ocean.

Even if he has extraordinary means, it is not easy to come back.

While undergoing maintenance, Lin Yi and Shirley Yang found an old sea wolf in the fishing village who was responsible for steering the ship, knowing the road, and identifying the wind and weather.

As Lao Hu and Fatty delivered the prepared goods, the group of people officially set off towards the depths of the South China Sea.
