The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 2016: Really expensive!

The "Star" sailed at a fast speed, and just over two hours after setting sail, it was already close to the sea where the "Deep Divers" was located, and it was time for the yacht's lunch.

Zhang Nan also went to the crew dining room. In the past few days, he did not use the main dining room at all, just because he felt that eating in the crew dining room saved time and was not so particular.

Just like the difference between a fast food restaurant and a big hotel, the former is quick to deal with the past.

There are portholes, and the slightly weird salvage boat can be seen from a distance.

The template of "Deep Diving" is the world's largest deep dive research vessel "Keldish Academician" commissioned by Finland during the Soviet era.

The ship has a length of 122.2 meters, a width of 17.8 meters, a side height of 10 meters, a draft of 5 meters, a displacement of 5,500 tons, and a maximum speed of 15.7 knots.

When cruising at a speed of 14 knots, the "Deep Diver" has an astonishing endurance of 20,000 nautical miles, and its self-sustaining power exceeds 90 days!

At this time, the main engine of the "Deep Diver" shuts down, and it is positioned by several auxiliary engines: the water depth of the nearby sea is about 2,134 meters, and it is impossible to anchor.

The surface ocean currents here are relatively mild. After obtaining the data on the direction and speed of the ocean currents, the "Star" also turned off the main engine and controlled it by pushing the auxiliary engine sideways.

Unlike the "Deep Diver", which requires precise positioning, the superyacht only needs to make sure that it does not drift too far out of confusion.

After eating, Zhang Nan walked to the rear deck of the yacht and noticed that a transport boat sent by a salvage boat was leaning on to help. There were sailors here who were preparing to transfer fresh fruits, vegetables and ingredients upwards.

The sailor on the transportation boat handed his sailor a sturdy small box, and soon the inspected box was handed over to Nicholas who was following Zhang Nan.

You can see that the box doesn't look big, but it's weighty. The guy who sent it was a bit difficult to carry.

As soon as Nicholas the big guy took it, he tried the weight, and said to Zhang Nan in a dull voice, "Boss, it's probably more than 30 kilograms."

Once opened, there are two 1857 brand-new double eagle gold coins packed in small plastic bags in the net cover inside the box lid, but they are still stained with reddish-brown rust-like stains.

In addition to the gold coins, there are two silver coins, also with a thin reddish-brown time stamp. The stamp is very thin, just like the color light patina of barreled silver coins on land.

As for the bottom, good guy, it is stuffed with two gold bricks, or gold nuggets according to the Americans.

Rectangular gold nuggets, one large and one small, the same part of the surface is stained with a thin layer of stubborn rust and stains.

There are stamps of the casting manufacturer, casting time, approximate purity and weight on the top, and they are still in metric units.

The small one weighs 3249 grams and the other one weighs 27.215 kilograms. No wonder this small suitcase is so heavy!

But contrary to Nikolai's prediction, the boss didn't care about the two valuable regular factories casting large gold nuggets. Instead, he took out the two silver coins and looked at them for a while.

A little curious, the big guy moved his head slightly. Zhang Nan noticed the situation, holding two small transparent sealed bags and said: "These two silver coins are quite rare, one is 1851.

This one is from 1827, I didn't have it before. "

These are a small part of the treasures that the "Deep Divers" salvaged before, and they are sent over to let the boss enjoy a little bit of addiction.

This afternoon, the salvage vessel was suspended for most of the day, and the first group of professionals had to finalize the next work plan, so Zhang Nan was not in a hurry to board the vessel.

Professional matters should be handled by professional people, so I won't make trouble for the time being, and I'll talk about it tomorrow.

Here Nikolai Valuyev heard Zhang Nan’s words and curiously said: "They are all valuable?"

"Well, the appearance is pretty good, Shen Hai in 1857, even this 1827 produced there is not much trace of use, probably all year round to throw away the vault as a reserve."

He said, indicating the 1851 one, saying: "This one is between 100,000 and 150,000 US dollars."

After thinking about it a bit, he motioned to the other one and said: "This is between 300,000 and 500,000 US dollars."

There are also many old coin connoisseurs on the salvage ship. Except for the Double Eagle coin in 1857, which was "the shipwreck master", so except for sending two coins, other cheap goods will not be sent to the boss.

This big guy looked at the two small silver coins and suffocated the sentence: "It's really expensive!"

At this point, Zhang Nan motioned a waiter who was waiting a long way over, handed the two silver coins in his hand to the other party, and said: "Give it to Tom, he knows where to put it."

"Yes, sir."

The waiter took it, turned and left.

Zhang Nan bent down and took out the other two plastic sealed bags containing double eagle gold coins, took a look, stuffed one of them back, and handed the other to the big guy.

"It's yours, brand new and unused, starting at $5,000.

Return the box to the transportation boat and let them take it back. I have no interest in gold nuggets, so I just follow the rules.

Also, tell the people on the boat to get me two sets of tuna fishing equipment. The sailor in the restaurant just said that this season, there will be yellow fin and bigeye tuna in this sea. "

Nicholas didn't push it. The Mark brothers and Uncle Andre had told him: As long as the boss gave you, whether it's gold bricks, diamonds or bombs, don't think too much, just keep it! "

I replied: "Okay, boss."

Tuck the gold coin into the pocket of the beach pants, close the box, buckle the lock, and carry it over.

After a while, at the lowest level platform at the stern of the yacht, the parasol was opened, the beach chairs were placed, and the two heavy fishing rods had been stationed in the special holes for the fishing rods.

The water is deep enough, and the surface ocean currents are slow, but the water layer ocean currents at a depth of 30 to 80 meters are more obvious. If there is ocean current, biological activities are active, and schools of prey fish often pass by.

Small fish eat dried shrimps, big fish chase small fish and fish, so this season there will be tuna in this sea area.

Zhang Nan tried to lure the fish with a small fishing rod, but there were really some underneath. There were three or four in a string, which seemed to be a kind of herring.

The fish are kept in the lure box. Choose two that are more pleasing to the eye. Hang them on the hook of a heavy fishing rod. The lure fish will not die for a while~www.readwn.com~ After a while, they will be more than 30 meters underwater. Swim around unnaturally.

If there are carnivorous fish underneath, it will not let go of such a lure that is still alive, but obviously injured and inconvenient to move.

Waiting to chant, go shirtless on the beach chairs and drink some iced drinks. This will bring the outdoor temperature to 30 degrees Celsius and some sea breeze. Zhang Nan doesn't feel too hot at all under the umbrellas.

After a sailor brought the fish from the kitchen before processing the fish ingredients, the remaining fish innards and scraps were all pour into the sea to lure the fish.

Unexpectedly, less than 5 minutes after the hook was put down, one of the fishing rods was bent, the fishing line squeaked, the reel rotated, and the fishing line was quickly pulled out.

Go up and tighten the fishing line, the damping is set, and when you look at the spinning speed of the reel, Zhang Nan knows that the fish caught the bait is not a small one!

My level is limited, I can't deal with it.

What to do?

Call for help!

"Here are two guys who can catch big fish, the big guy!"
