Chapter 950 Picking Peaches? Up
On the vast sea, the roar of the cruise ship was deafening. After the sunken ship came out of the water, the pressure on the platform and the floating crane suddenly doubled. At this moment, it is under hundreds of tons of gravity, and the power has almost reached its maximum.
Those workers who operate the machine are very careful to slowly move the suspended arm. The sunken ship is rising almost inch by inch, slowly moving towards the deck of the cruise ship that has already been empty.
Those leaders of relevant domestic departments, when they saw the sunken ship, suddenly showed an embarrassed look on their faces. "The tugboat they brought was not as big as the ship, and when they saw other people's careful actions, they knew that Zhuang Rui would definitely not share the credit for them.
"A little higher, a little higher, OK!"
"A little on the left, a little more, gently, don't break the things on the ship..."
"Slow down, slow down, Lao Yu, "Didn't you say that you can pick up a cigarette with a boom?" These workers all know that Zhuang Rui gave them a raise. "It's very careful to work. The instructions are transmitted from the ship to the operators one by one, and all the work is going on in an orderly manner. .
After more than three hours of research, the ancient shipwreck that had sunk to the bottom of the sea for more than a thousand years was finally safely placed on the deck.
The hull with a slightly red luster" shows a sense of vicissitudes of life after thousands of years of wind and frost under the direct sunlight.
In order to facilitate future transportation, the fishing net has still not been lifted, but the ropes on it have been cleared. Zhuang Rui walked in the front row and stood side by side with Professor Meng next to the ancient sunken ship.
"Dang... Dangdang..." Zhuang Rui knocked on the hull with his hand and made a metal-like sound. After thousands of years, the ship of the Song Dynasty had not only had any decay, and the hull seemed to be stronger than before.
"Historical significance, archaeological significance" cultural relics are of great value!" Professor Meng gently stroked the sunken ship with his hand. His face was extremely excited, and he said three important words one after another. Even when Liu Xiu's tomb was unearthed, Zhuang Rui did not see such a gaffe of his teacher.
When Zhuang Rui saw the teacher, he came by boat overnight. He was afraid that something would happen to the old man's body. He hurriedly said, "Teacher," why don't we take a break first and then clean it up?" Because the direct sunlight will change the wooden structure of the sunken ship, there will be staff building Jane on the wreck ship "Yi's sunshade" Zhuang Rui means to wait for them to finish their work before cleaning up the shipwreck.
You should know that even if you have just roughly checked it, the cultural relics on the ship should be at least tens of thousands of pieces. There are countless porcelains that are densely placed together, not to mention countless gold and silver utensils scattered all over the hull.
The clean-up work of cultural relics is not just to take out things casually, but also needs to number and classify them. It's very tedious. It's just these clean-up work. Zhuang Rui estimates that it will be difficult to finish in ten days and a half months.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Professor Meng waved his hand and said, "No, let's start now, Xiaozhuang." You haven't realized the importance of this ship. It is as valuable as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Shaanxi..."
According to Professor Meng, the significance of the discovery and salvage of this early sunken ship in the Song Dynasty lies not only in finding tens of thousands of rare treasures in a ship itself, but also contains unimaginable information and extraordinary academic value.
Because of the sinking location of the sunken ship, it is not only on the waterway of the "Maritime Silk Road", but also the number and variety of its "collectives" are extremely rich and valuable, providing the most credible model for the study of this history.
And the exploration and excavation of this sunken ship can also restore and fill a historical gap closely related to the ancient [China] country, the "Maritime Silk Road".
You know, this is far earlier than Zheng He's maritime trade behavior when he went to the West. At the same time, it can also demonstrate the strong manufacturing power of the [China] country at that time. Its great sailing era was far beyond the medieval maritime powers such as Britain and Portugal.
Professor Meng and Zhuang Rui's cognitive perspective on the sunken ship is different. When he finished describing the value of the sunken ship, Zhuang Rui was a little embarrassed to stick out his tongue. "I dared to be an archaeologist, but I still got into the eyes of money and only judged it from the value of cultural relics.
"That's right, Xiaozhuang, is the room for these objects ready? Remember, the room should be drier, otherwise the glaze of these porcelains will be oxidized and faded..." Professor Tian is also rubbing his hands. These Song Dynasty export porcelains in the Song Dynasty are of great significance to the study of the history of ancient ceramics and the maritime trade in the South China Sea.
Everyone thinks that the peak of the feudal dynasty is the Tang Dynasty. In fact, it is not the case. From a commercial point of view, the Song Dynasty is one of the most complicated economies, the most developed science and technology, and the most prosperous culture in the history of the country. It was also the country with the most inventions and creations in the world at
The porcelain of the Song Dynasty is also the most sought-after porcelain in the international market, except for some porcelains that almost became orphan in the Yuan Dynasty, and the price has always been high.
So at this moment, Professor Tian can't wait to see the difference between these export concubines and domestic official porcelain in the Song Dynasty.
"Well, the room is ready. You can get on the boat, but be careful, some seaweed on the ship will be slippery..."
Seeing that both teachers said, "Zhuang Rui had no reason to stop it. After he nodded, "someone immediately set up a ladder" and waited for the thousand-year-old boat in different times.
Precious porcelain or gold and silverware were uploaded from the ship. This work was very tedious. It was until late at night, the lights were pulled up on the deck, and four or five students were busy on the ship.
Although Professor Meng and others were excited, they were really unable to hold on. They were persuaded by Zhuang Rui to rest, but Zhuang Rui had been staring at the scene, and he was reluctant to give up one of these things.
"Mr. Zhuang, are you free? I want to talk to you about it..."
Just as Zhuang Rui wiped a copper mirror and put it into a plastic bag, a sound came from under the boat.
"Are you?"
Zhuang Rui stretched out his head and saw a middle-aged man in his forties. Zhuang Ruiyi had a rare impression that this person seemed to board the ship with Professor Meng, but the teacher did not introduce him at that time, and Zhuang Rui did not care.
"Mr. Zhuang, my name is Dou Zhe" is specially responsible for maritime traffic by the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China. Our leaders have highly evaluated your salvage behavior. I think, shall we find a place to talk about it..."
The person introduced himself. Zhuang Rui was stunned after hearing this. The official was not small. He was actually a department-level cadre. He wiped his hands and climbed down from the ladder next to the hull.
" Director Dou, go to the room and sit down..." Although I don't know what the director is talking about to him, Zhuang Rui doesn't want to offend people in vain. It's past one o'clock in the middle of the night. It's also sincere for the other party to come to find him.
" Director Dou, what can I do for you?" After sitting down, Zhuang Rui gave Director Dou a cup of coffee. These days, he relied on this to refresh him, and there were no other drinks on the ship.
Director Dou seemed to know Zhuang Rui's background. After standing up and taking the coffee with both hands, he said, "Mr. Zhuang" I was entrusted by the leader to congratulate you on your successful deep-sea salvage. "Ha ha, Director Dou, thank you for your concern. You see that this work is relatively busy, and the cultural relics have only If..."
Zhuang Rui didn't go on, but the intention of wanting to leave is already obvious. "Brother, I've been tired for a day. Isn't it good to have time to accompany my wife and children? Are you talking nonsense with this bureaucrat?
Seeing that Zhuang Rui was a little impatient, Director Dou quickly put down the coffee in his hand and said, "Well, Mr. Zhuang, although your salvage this time is all your personal behavior, the salvaged ship is still a national..."
"Slow down, Director Dou, it's boring for you to say that, right? This ship is not fake in the Song Dynasty, but it is said to be national. It's a little far away, isn't it? This is Malacca in the South China Sea, which is not the relevant sea area of difficult countries!"
As soon as Zhuang Rui heard Director Dou's words, he suddenly became angry. How dare Director Dou come to pick peaches? I spent hundreds of millions of dollars to replace the ship. Does the country want to take it away? Is it easy to bully a buddy?
"No, no, that's not what I mean" Mr. Zhuang, you misunderstood, you misunderstood"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Director Dou's white face suddenly turned red. He quickly stood up and explained, "Of course, this shipwreck belongs to Mr. Zhuang. What our leader means is that this salvage can be classified as jointly carried out by Mr. Zhuang and the country?"
After talking for a long time, Director Dou's words came to the point. [Zhongzhong] China's first deep-sea shipwreck salvage may even be the deepest deep-water salvage in the world. Such a name plays an unusually important role in improving the political achievements of some people.And what the leader told was to let Director Dou negotiate with Zhuang Rui to see if he could add the words of relevant state departments to the salvage party. Although Director Dou knew that Zhuang Rui had a deep background behind him, when he saw that Zhuang Rui was young, he wanted to make an official tone to see if he could get greater benefits.
What embarrassed Director Dou was that Zhuang Rui didn't take his way at all and directly blocked the words back, which made Director Dou, who was used to playing Tai Chi in China and leaving a line in everything, very unaccustomed.
"State behavior?" Zhuang Rui smiled and said, "The registered nationality of this ship is Panama, and the salvage site is the high seas of the seas near Malacca. The salvage cost of up to 300 million US dollars is my personal." Director Dou said, "Isn't it inappropriate to characterize it as a state act?"
Zhuang Rui has now fully understood that this person did not come for these water cultural relics, but for the influence caused by the salvage incident.
