Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 948 Planning
According to the plan, the ship Liang En and the others ordered would arrive in three months. Unexpectedly, the ship arrived on the second day after taking the earth king and the chiefs to visit the ruins on the mountain.

"Why so fast?" Just after the two ships docked, Liang En asked the person in charge who came with the ship, because they had been saying that all the docks were under construction, and they had to wait for those ships to be built. Take their list.

"The main reason is that someone abandoned the order before." The manager responsible for the African business under Elizabeth said, "I think those ships meet our requirements, so I bought these three ships back with a [-]% discount."

"And besides these three boats, the other party has three other boats in the dock that are also discounted. We can buy them back if we want."

"I think it's okay to add three more boats." Liang En nodded. "At least for us, if there are six boats, the construction of the entire reservoir will be faster."

"And the country itself lacks some means of transportation, so even if these ships are temporarily useless locally after the completion of the reservoir construction work, they can also play a role in other places."

Different from ordinary inland ships, because considering that the entire route not only needs to go down the river, but also needs to sail nearly [-] kilometers in the offshore, these ships have certain ocean-going capabilities.

This also means that these ships have strong applicability. Even if they are temporarily unable to operate in inland river basins, they can still find their own business direction in this country that has a great demand for offshore shipping.

However, these ships cannot be put into use directly. Although hired captains and mechanics can drive these ships away, it is a risk to act directly without sufficient armed protection.

Fortunately, Liang En, now the chief, has the permission to form a guard, so he can carry out some targeted and simple modifications on this ship to improve its combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, there is everything on the construction site. Although there is no way to find a large-scale modification like a real shipyard, some simple modifications can still be done.

These modifications include adding a layer of steel plates to some key parts of the ship, and setting several fixed machine gun positions for general-purpose machine guns and even heavy machine guns.

For such a country that has experienced a long civil war, it is not difficult to obtain a variety of firearms, so after only three days, they successfully placed some 14.5mm heavy machine guns on the deck.

"Very good. I think these ships will be used for important material transportation soon." Looking at the ships completing the installation work by the river, Liang En nodded in satisfaction.

With a series of facilities installed on the hull, this ship has become suitable for sailing in such a somewhat dangerous place.

That is to say, these ships will be directly put into the current reservoir construction work, to increase the construction speed of the reservoir as much as possible, and to advance the completion time of the reservoir as much as possible.

After completing all the work in this area, it was time for Liang En and the others to leave. Fortunately, on the day they left, an expedition team composed of China, Britain, and France also came here.

Although the value of the ruins is not great from an economic point of view, it is definitely an important discovery from an archaeological point of view.

Especially before this trip around Africa was only recorded in very few documents, so being able to confirm this this time is definitely a key to solving this mystery.

"Yes, this is how I discovered this ruin before. You can use the information as you like." After a brief exchange with those Chinese people, Liang En handed over the information to them face to face.

"The core purpose of these materials is comparison. For example, after a simple comparison, you will find that the style of the entire ruins is very similar to the Phoenician cemetery in North Africa and the Middle East."

"The most important thing is that although the cave inside is naturally formed, choosing such a naturally formed Shandong also expresses the observance of the Phoenician tradition."

"Because traditional Phoenician cemeteries tend to be a shaft-shaped tomb, and this cave does look like that, especially where the altars, columns and urns are located."

"Yes, that's true," said Dr. Liu who led the team. This time, several countries formed a joint archaeological team. As the joint archaeological team, Dr. Liu, who has the oldest qualifications and the most achievements, was elected as the captain.

Of course, there is another reason why he was elected as the captain, that is, he has the best temper among the team leaders of the three countries, and he can ensure the unity of the international team as much as possible.

Especially for this joint archaeological team, since they came together, it means that they already have a certain amount of internal cooperation, and the opponent is other people. At this time, they need to cooperate even more.

For Liang En, he is willing to prefer people who are friendly with him in this kind of matter, so this archaeological team composed of people from multiple countries will enter the field 2 to 3 months earlier than other teams.

However, if you want to delay other people's time, it is not appropriate, even if this land is Liang En's private land, but a long delay will affect Liang En's reputation in the field of historical archaeology.

Considering that the identity of historians and archaeologists is more important to Liang En than landlords or chiefs, he can only use legal and compliant methods to delay other people, but he must not make things go away.

In addition to allowing the joint archaeological team to enter the site in advance, Liang En's greatest help was to hand over the materials he found during the previous scientific expedition to them, and these materials would allow them to start their research work on a better basis.

According to Liang En's estimation, his materials should be able to save the members of the archaeological team 5 to 6 weeks of time, and it is enough to further increase the advantage between them and others.

For these professionals, especially those who can be called elites, this little advantage is enough to allow them to research something earlier than others, and this can be regarded as a big gift package from Liang En to these people .

According to his point of view, at this time, it is best to publish a series of papers in a short period of time to stir up the relics, and once a certain reputation is made, the follow-up operations will be relatively simple.

Fortunately, it is not too difficult to stir up this ancient Phoenician cemetery, especially from an archaeological point of view, it has a foundation.

Because these Phoenicians were not only the best navigators in the entire Mediterranean region BC, but also the pioneers of the European navigation industry. They are considered to be a very critical group of people in modern European history.

In this case, all the ancient ruins related to them will become very attractive, which will naturally attract more people's attention to it.

"I hope everything will go well for us." Liang En said very seriously after finishing all the work. "At least for me, I hope to see a prosperous land next time I come here."

"It will, Liang." Joan of Arc gently held Liang En's hand and said, "I firmly believe that this land will be better."
