Now that the little Dragon Beast had grown to three meters in size, Jiang Yang felt that he could plan to leave the sea area where his family lived and go to a further sea area to look for those sunken ships. If he successfully salvaged a sunken ship, he would be rich.
Jiang Yang also had a goal. On the website of " Undersea Wrecks ", there were some shipwrecks with historical records. One of them, the ship " Awa Maru " from the country of ointment, attracted his interest.
According to the information, the Awa Maru was an ocean tanker built in the 1940s. It was 154.9 meters long, 20.2 meters wide, 12.6 meters deep, and had a total weight of 11,249.4 tons. On March 28th, 1945, the Awa Maru, which had been requisitioned by the country's army, loaded a large number of people who had retreated from Southeast Asia to the country. At midnight on April 1st, the ship sailed to the east of Niushan Island in Xuanwu Country. It was discovered by the submarine "Queen Fish" of Yingjiang Country, which was cruising in the sea area. It was attacked by several torpedoes and sank quickly three minutes later. Apart from one person, 2008 passengers and crew, as well as 40 tons of gold, 12 tons of platinum, 150,000 carats of raw gemstones, 40 boxes of crafts, 3000 tons of tin, 2000 tons of tungsten, 2000 tons of aluminum, 800 tons of titanium, and 2000 tons of rubber, all sank to the bottom of the sea.
It was estimated that the total value of all the treasures on the Awa Maru was as high as five billion dollars.
" Oh my god, five billion dollars!" Jiang Yang was speechless when he saw the information.
With such a golden mountain, the Awa Maru was naturally a sunken ship that attracted the attention of salvagers all over the world. However, since the 1970s, many international salvage companies had tried to salvage the Awa Maru in the waters of Niushan Island, but they all returned in vain.
As for why this sunken ship attracted Jiang Yang's interest, one of the main reasons was that Niushan Island was not far from him, about 400 nautical miles away. Jiang Yang drove his own fishing boat over, and it would take about eight to nine hours to reach.
"Niushan Island Sea Area, Awa Maru." Jiang Yang muttered.
He was sure that he would go to the waters of Niushan Island on his first voyage and see if he could find Awa Maru.
If they were lucky enough to find it, they would be rich.
"Little sweetheart, we'll prepare well tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. We'll set off for the waters of Niushan Island the day after tomorrow.”Jiang Yang turned around and said to the little dragon beast.
The little Dragon Beast blinked.
Jiang Yang continued to study the map of Niushan Island's sea area and the information on the water condition.
At the same time, a private jet that took off from Australia and headed for Bay Island was flying through the clouds.
In the cabin, which was comparable to a presidential suite, sat a silver-haired, bespectacled old man in his sixties.
The old man was a billionaire from Australia, and his name was Chris Bull.
At this moment, the old man was holding a magnifying glass and looking at a sea map. There were also a few pictures on the table. They were photos of the shipwreck of the Awa Maru.
At this moment, the plane shook slightly. At the same time, the captain's voice was heard." Boss, we have arrived at Taoyuan City Airport and are preparing to land.“
The old man put away his magnifying glass.
Behind the old man, a white bodyguard dragged a wheelchair over. The old man's legs were inconvenient and he needed to sit in a wheelchair. At the same time, a blonde air stewardess walked over and helped the old man fasten his seatbelt.
The plane slowly descended.
A Rolls-Royce and two black Audis were parked on the side of the airport runway.
Six white bodyguards wearing earphones stood beside the Rolls-Royce. These people were all the private bodyguards of the billionaire, Crisper.
After a while, the private jet stopped on the runway. The hatch opened, and a spiral staircase was lowered. Chris was sitting in a wheelchair. Two bodyguards lifted him up and slowly descended the spiral staircase.
Then, Chris got into the Rolls-Royce, and the bodyguards got in.
"Boss, Mr. Tian Kan is already waiting for you at the hotel.”After getting into the car, a bodyguard whispered into Chris 'ear.
Chris nodded slightly.
This time, Chris had flown from Australia to Bay Island to work with Tian Kan to salvage the Awa Maru.
Chris provided the money and manpower, while Takan Soro provided the exact location of the Awa Maru's sinking.
Speaking of which, this Tian Kan Xiao Lang had quite a background. This person was the descendant of Tian Kan Yi Lang, the only survivor of the "Awa Maru" incident 80 years ago.
It was also because of the top-secret information provided by Takan Koburo that Chris, a billionaire, had a strong interest in Awa Maru.
According to the information provided by Tian Kan, the Awa Maru not only carried 40 tons of gold and other treasures, but also a priceless treasure in the archaeological world-the skull fossil of the Zhoukoudian ape-man.
Chris loved collecting antiques and was also an antique expert. Of course, he had heard of the Zhoukoudian ape-man skull fossil.
In the early 1920s, an archaeological discovery shocked the world. On the Dragon Bone Mountain of Zhoukoudian, near the capital of Xuanwu Country, several outstanding anthropologists finally made a great discovery after searching for many years-the site of the Zhoukoudian ape-man. However, in July 1937, war broke out. The country of medicine occupied the capital of Black Tortoise Country. In order to prevent the national treasure from falling into the enemy's hands, many people of insight requested that the skull fossil of the Zhoukoudian ape-man be sent abroad. However, what was regrettable and puzzling was that it mysteriously disappeared from the continent of Black Tortoise Country in 1941, and its whereabouts were unknown. Many rumors believed that the Zhoukoudian ape-man fossil was on the sunken Awa Maru.
————
For example, our country had already salvaged the shipwreck of the Awa Maru in 1977. At that time, it took four years to salvage the shipwreck. A total of nearly 3000 tons of tin ingots and 2800 tons of other materials were salvaged, totaling about 5800 tons, worth 50 million US dollars. However, the strange thing was that the salvagers did not find the rumored gold and silver, nor did they find any traces of the "ape-man" fossil.
The ape-man skull fossil on the Awa Maru has another name. The author himself gave it the name "Zhoukoudian ape-man" to avoid sensitive words.)
