Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 105 Looking for the Lady Atoka

With the development of the Renaissance movement that began in the late Middle Ages, a desire for commercial capital and wealth emerged in Europe.

At that time, Europe’s main trade partner was the East, but the trade with the East was monopolized by Venice and Genoa at that time, so Western European countries decided to explore the route to the East by themselves, and the first to explore the Eastern route was Portugal and Spain.

Portugal went south, and after decades of operation, it successively occupied the routes along the west of Africa. When Dagama arrived in India through the Cape of Good Hope in 1498 and discovered a new route to the east, it was monopolized by Portugal.

Spain had to look westward to find a new route to the east. By mistake, Columbus discovered the American continent in 1492, and Spain then launched a campaign to conquer and colonize the Americas, which was wiped out in a very short period of time. Through the various empires established by the Indians, extremely large colonies were established.

In 1494, after the Pope’s arbitration, Portugal also obtained a very large colony in the American continent east of 50 degrees west longitude, which was later Brazil, and Spain controlled the vast areas of the Americas except Brazil.

The area conquered by Spain is rich in gold and silver, so a large number of fleets loaded these precious metals from Cuba, across the Atlantic, and shipped to Europe.

From this period, countless colonists’ ships, carrying countless gold and silver jewelry, were ruthlessly sunk by the power of nature on the way.

For hundreds of years, the sea will occasionally display some sporadic treasures such as gold and silver coins in front of people, attracting explorers to explore, and even producing professional treasure hunters.

Of course, many wealthy people will use this method for leisure, Tang Huan and Christina and the group belong to this category.

Since the early 1960s, ancient Spanish gold coins and ancient silver coins have appeared on Florida beaches from time to time. This has set off a long-lasting gold rush and gave birth to many myths of rich wealth.

Christina, the accustomed luxury daughter, naturally wouldn’t care about such a small probability event. She just thought Tang Huan’s ideas were new and interesting, so she applied for a salvage permit for this fun.

Tang Huan is currently located in Forlong Beach, Florida. While enjoying the beautiful sunshine, he recalled the scene of visiting the Onassis family fleet. Although the Chinese ocean complex is not traditionally strong, he still can’t help but Obsessed with that kind of magnificence.

Thoughts were flying around, and Christina, who was fiery in shape, came up curly and yelled, “Tang, help me put on sunscreen again.”

Waiting for the girl to sit in front of him, Tang Huan smiled slightly, smelling the unique body scent, picked up the sunscreen and applied it skillfully, and from time to time used Chinese massage techniques, so comfortable that Christina made a dreamy sound in her throat.

The female ship king glanced back at Tang Huan with silky eyes, stretched out her hand and stroked teasingly on the bulging object between the man’s legs.

Looking at the urgency of the other party wishing to do a good thing on this private beach, Tang Huan remained unmoved, still working on the ground.

How could it be so simple to communicate with someone with the identity of the female ship king, especially the relationship between men and women is mixed, and whoever loses the initiative means that the other party will be subdued.

“Honey, don’t you have to work hard?” Christina said, arching her hips back several times.

“Top delicacies, naturally you have to savor slowly and carefully.” Tang Huan replied with a deep voice.

The two men and women with different minds are playing a game of wiping the gun but not going off the fire. James Cameron shouted from a distance: “Don, the person you are looking for is here.”

At present, Cameron is still unknown. In order to support his family, he would often receive some advertising services such as promotional films from Zheru. It happened that Tang Huan met him in the office building, based on the big ship of the “Titanic” in his previous life. Bad taste, they invited over.

Actually, in the original time and space, Cameron was a well-known diving enthusiast. He had done 72 deep-sea dives, 33 of which were to the wreck site of the Titanic.

When filming “Titanic” in 1997, Cameron dived 12 times to take pictures of the shipwreck.

Fifteen years later, Cameron took the “Deep Sea Challenger” submarine alone. It took two hours to reach the Mariana Trench in the Western Pacific at a depth of nearly 11 kilometers and stayed on the sea floor for three hours. , Became the second submarine dive to reach the deepest seabed in human history, and the first person to arrive there alone.

I have to say that Cameron is still very aspiring after he became famous.

In this time and space, Tang Huan drew Cameron to the beaches of Florida where the treasure hunt is prevalent early. I don’t know how it will affect his shooting philosophy. It’s very interesting to think about it.

Tang Huan gently pushed Christina away, took a towel and put it on his leg, waved to Cameron to lead him over.

“Are you the famous Mr. Mel Fisher?” Tang Huan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. His skin was rough, no different from the sailors he had seen in the past few days, but he was sure with glasses. Looks like it seems to show a certain difference.

“Yes.” After Fischer finished answering, he deliberately lit up the gold chain hanging around his neck and hanging down to his chest. “This is my salvaged product in 1975. It is six feet long, and everyone in the neighborhood knows it. .”

Fisher is a famous treasure hunter. When he was 12 years old, he dared to dive with self-made equipment and almost drowned.

With the technological revolution of diving and the advent of underwater self-contained breathing apparatus or scuba, the capital investment for diving does not have to be so high, which gives Fisher a great opportunity to display his skills.

As a young man, Fisher opened a diving school in California. Because of his reputation, he was invited to find a treasure ship that sank in the waters of Forlong Beach in 1715. So he gambled on a year and brought it in 1963. With his wife and four children, the family moved to Florida.

This year’s treasure hunting career was not smooth. I found nothing in the first 360 days. I completely defeated my family. In the last few days, I made a big discovery. I found more than 1,000 gold coins. I went from **** to heaven. Fisher Since then became a professional treasure hunter.

In the following period of time, Fisher was quite rewarding, but he was not satisfied. He set the treasure hunting target on the legendary Lady Atoka, which had transported countless treasures but sank to the bottom of the sea due to a hurricane.

Spanish treasure ships are most afraid of pirates and hurricanes. In order to deal with pirates, each fleet is equipped with a sturdy **** ship equipped with artillery, and Madame Atoka is such a **** ship.

In August 1622, a fleet of 29 ships, where the Lady Atoka was located, returned to Spain from South America, full of treasures.

Because it is an **** ship, everyone puts the most precious and most valuable treasure on the Lady Atoka.

But unfortunately, Madame Atoka’s cannon did not have any deterrent against the hurricane, and ultimately did not escape the bad luck of being buried on the seabed.

In the beginning, Fisher explored the waters off Matei Campbell Island in the Florida Keys, but found nothing.

By coincidence, Fisher received the guidance of Florida historian Eugene Leon. Not only did he confirm the authenticity of the Lady Atoka, but also roughly locked the sinking area-located 100% southwest of Matei Campbell Island. Many miles near the Marques Islands.

But the worst thing is that there was once a navy shooting range, which caused trouble for magnetometer detection. They found refrigerators, Volkswagen cars and even trains, but there was no treasure.

By the summer of 1971, Fisher’s treasure hunting team had explored 175,000 miles of seabed, and there was still no progress. His family was lost again, and he was investing everywhere but no one wanted to pay.

Just when they were desperate, they found the anchor, some silver coins and a six-foot-long gold chain—the one that Fisher now wears around his neck.

After identification, the age of these items was similar to that of the Lady Atoka, so some investors began to believe in this persistent treasure hunter.

In July 1975, the son of Fisher, Dirk, who is already the captain of the Northwind dive ship, discovered the rare and precious bronze cannon, and the treasure hunt has made significant progress.

But disaster followed. That night, the Northwind dive boat sank. Dirk, his wife An Qi, and a diver Ricky Gage were not killed.

The sorrowful Fisher family discussed whether to continue this seemingly endless treasure hunting process, and finally decided not to give up, and started working again a few months later. But today, except for a few treasures and Outside of handicrafts, there is still no progress.

In the original time and space, this process will continue for five more years. It was not until July 20, 1985 that part of the wreck of the Lady Atoka was discovered.

As a result, the Fisher family received a huge return worth more than 500 million US dollars. Some of the gold bricks weighed 88 pounds, which is nearly 40 kilograms, which is really surprising.

But this large quantity of precious metals was not accepted by the bank, and it also attracted legal disputes with Florida. The reason is self-evident.

Tang Huan looked at Fisher’s gold chain, laughed loudly, and stretched out his hand very cooperatively.

Fisher was very proficient in holding up the gold chain that had been rolled several times and placing it on Tang Huan’s palm little by little, while carefully observing his look, but he did not find the enthusiasm of ordinary people for gold.

Tang Huanyun was light and breezy, his palms did not move.

When the length of the gold chain in his hand was still 20 or 30 centimeters, Fisher suddenly let go of his hand, and with a bang, the gold chain hangs down. This is a trick he often plays. Many people do it at this moment. The performance is very dramatic, and it can even be said to be a kind of philosophy.

Tang Huan’s hand was still held firmly in the air, and he firmly held the gold chain. When he saw that he was about to touch the ground, he stopped the downward momentum.

Fisher looked stunned. This seems unreasonable. When did his gold chain become lighter?

“Heavy gold, it feels very fulfilling.” Tang Huan smiled happily.
