From the Island Owner to the King

This is how the sea lily fossils discovered by Chen Rui formed.

Chen Rui put the sea lily fossil into the pregnant sea pearl space.

Leaving the pregnant Haizhu space.

Chen Rui searched the bottom of the sea again and found nothing.

After making sure there were no omissions, Chen Rui surfaced and found that it was far away from the speedboat.

Chen Rui swam over and boarded the speedboat.

Chen Rui took a bath in the lake of Zhuhai Space, put on a piece of dry clothes, and went out of space.

My stomach is a little hungry.

Chen Rui scooped out the newly caught big lobster from Zhuhai Space.

The big lobster is very fierce, and its teeth are dancing.

Chen Rui took out the gas stove, pots and pans, salt, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, cooking wine and other spices from the pregnant Haizhu space.

A steamed steamed lobster with garlic is made from lobster.

The lobster is prepared in a bowl, marinated and tasted, then placed in a steaming tray. After steaming on high heat, the shell is red and white, full of domineering, and delicious.

Chen Rui tasted open.

After meals.

It was almost dusk.

The horizon, the setting sun.

Chen Rui sat quietly on the bow, admiring the sunset at dusk.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the sea, sparkling.

Very spectacular and very poetic.

For a long time, the setting sun had completely fallen, and the sky was already dark.

The moon rose, bright and bright, and the moonlight sprinkled on the sea.

Chen Rui moved a bit on the bow and took out a blanket from the pregnant Haizhu space. Just slept on the board.

Go to sleep with moonlight.

midnight.

Not far away came the sound of 'slaps'.

Chen Rui was awakened.

The sound came from about 200 meters southwest.

Chen Rui stood up and looked up.

Through the brightness of the moonlight, a huge black shadow can be seen on the sea surface.

Seen from the outline of the black shadow. This is a brig.

The ship was slowly approaching itself.

Chen Rui felt this boat was weird.

First the brig was designed by the Dutch in the 17th century.

Beginning in the 18th century in North America, it was widely used in places that required speed and the ability to sail in the wind, such as slaves and privateer ships, and it was also often used in fishing boats and adventure ships.

In the 19th century, the brig was developed to its peak, and it was the most popular sailing vessel for carrying cargo at that time.

By the 20th and 21st centuries, such brigs had long since been phased out and replaced by steel-built freighters.

nowadays. If you want to see such a wooden brig, you can only see it at the Sailing Museum.

Chen Rui saw a brig at this moment. I feel very weird.

Secondly, Chen Rui found that the ship was walking strangely close to the brig, and left and right sometimes caused the bow to get into the waves. How could the small spinnaker of the bow fall to the port side, and the barn of the back side was to the starboard side, and the main mast was completely empty and twisted.

The ship was getting closer.

Chen Rui found that the ship was unmanned, and the rudder would swing around.

When the boat is 5 or 60 meters from Chen Rui.

Chen Rui saw a string of Portuguese sa on the side of the ship by moonlight.

‘Santa Maria Formosa '.

The name of the ship is 'Santa Maria Formosa'.

Chen Rui drove the speedboat to the Santa Maria Formosa.

Chen Rui got on the deck and no one came out to ask.

As the tether was broken, the sail swayed in the wind. Suddenly hitting on the mast, suddenly hitting the rung again, cracking.

Chen Rui's awakened voice was this voice. The sail hit the mast and the sound of a 'split shot' on the rung.

The boat is very old.

Messy ropes were scattered on the deck, and some were thrown outboard.

The board was covered with bird droppings, dust, the boards were broken and iron chains. The nails were rusty.

There were also some plants growing on the deck, and the roots of the plants penetrated into the crevices of the deck.

The seeds of plants are carried by birds.

The bird eats the seeds. Fly to the boat to rest, pull down the guano, and the seeds in the guano are left on the deck.

There is sunlight to provide light energy, there is rain to nourish, and guano is fertilizer.

The seeds germinated and the plants began to grow.

The boat has been empty for a long time.

There was silence and dullness all around.

Chen Rui could only hear his rapid breathing and heartbeat.

The atmosphere was depressing.

This is a 'unknown drifting ship', which is also a mysterious 'ghost ship'.

A quick search of 'Ghost Ship' on the Internet will reveal a lot of information about 'Ghost Ship'.

The legendary 'ghost ship' is drifting on the sea, and there are ghosts wandering and sighing in the cabin ...

How mysterious and weird to say, but few people have actually seen it and boarded the 'Ghost Ship'.

People are always curious.

Curious where the crew on the ship went and why all of it suddenly disappeared.

Chen Rui was also very curious, why all the crew on the ship "Santa Maria Formosa" disappeared.

Chen Rui came to the seaman's rest cabin, and came to the cabin again. The cabin door was open and empty.

The pilot is off.

Chen Rui came to the captain's room and found a "Logbook".

What surprised Chen Rui was that as early as May 7, 1897, the ship left Lisbon, Portugal, and shipped a cargo to the United States.

The captain has many years of sailing experience.

Chen Rui glanced through the Sailing Log and found that the end of each day's record reads: "Everything is OK today."

At the end of the last day, which was recorded on May 21 of that year, the captain also wrote: "Since departure, it has been smooth."

Chen Rui realized that this 'Santa Maria Formosa' cargo ship had been wandering the Atlantic for 118 years.

Chen Rui also found a bunch of keys in a drawer in the captain's room.

Chen Rui got out of the captain's room and opened the locks of all cabins with keys. He saw layers of cobwebs in the ship's food storage compartment, storing a lot of food that had been rotten or dried.

He came to the cargo hold.

Hundreds of oak barrels were stacked in the cargo hold.

Oak barrels store wines made in Portugal and shipped to the United States.

Everyone's previous concept is that ‘wine is fragrant ~ www.readwn.com ~ The aged wine stored in oak barrels for a year seems to be the best wine.

In fact, this is not the case.

If you store the wine in oak barrels for a long time, it may deteriorate the wine.

And this barrel is an old barrel with a history of 100 years. The wood is going to be grooved, and the smell of rotten wood is mixed into the wine.

Hundreds of oak barrels filled with aged wine may seem like a huge fortune, but they are not of much value.

Chen Rui left the ghost ship and returned to the speedboat.

Chen Rui didn't seem to find the cause of the sudden disappearance of all the members of "Santa Maria Formosa".

Chen Rui has a "Logbook" on the brig "Santa Maria Formosa".

Perhaps the answer can be found in the Journal. (To be continued)
