Chapter 453: 【Aquamarine】

   After seeing pure gold cannons of different calibers, large and small, being dug up, everyone, including Yang Yong, was in a state of madness. Human's desire for gold has gone deep into the bone marrow, and gold, a precious metal, has accompanied human beings for more than 20,000 years of development history. Even a few decades ago, the main currency in the United States was still gold coins, and the mark during World War I was called the gold mark and was linked to gold.

  Including the period when the sun never set, the currency used was still gold coins, but the gold coins were not stored in the receipts issued by the bank. That is to say, the paper currency of the white pound is slowly becoming popular, and the receipt of the gold coin of the white pound can be exchanged for gold coins at any bank. Therefore, gold is the main support for human economic activities, and it is also a reserve fund. The central bank of each country balances the activities on the financial market with the weight of the gold stored.

   Therefore, people's desire for gold has never stopped since ancient times. Where did the name San Francisco come from? Not because the Gold Rush turned a barren land into the American metropolis it is today. Although the pure gold artillery cast hundreds of years ago, the gold content is only more than 80% of the current pure gold, and 20% is other impurities.

   But the weight of these artillery pieces is an indisputable fact, and the weight of medium-sized artillery pieces is above one ton. This is the weight of a ton of gold, who is not crazy? Including Yang Yong. Even if he was well-informed and saw these gold castings, he began to squeak, his eyes were straight and his breath was short, not to mention the other staff members were even more unbearable.

   These twelve golden cannons and the attached ammunition take up a lot of space. After excavating these cannons and shells, Yang Yong thought that the entire Spencer pirate treasure had ended perfectly, and that was all the gold treasures. Unexpectedly, under a big rock, a very precious treasure was unearthed at that time. Small case made of sterling silver.

   The box is not big, but it is very heavy and strong, and the hundreds of kilograms of boulders did not deform the box. When this small box made of sterling silver appeared in front of Yang Yong, Yang Yong's heart seemed to be pumped, and he was very excited. Seeing that the excavation site is coming to an end, it is difficult to have any big surprises, so Yang Yong walked out of the natural cave and held a small box made of sterling silver.

   climbed to the ground through the soft ladder, and then washed all the dirt on the box with pure water. The box is made of sterling silver and looks very simple and atmospheric. There are not so many exquisite patterns carved on the box, and the box is not locked. There are just two bolt-like things, fixed at the opening of the box, and the bolt-like things are pulled out. Everyone present who opened the box couldn't help exclaiming, forming a loud noise environment, which was comparable to the takeoff of a jet fighter.

   What made the fuss about these well-informed staff members in the box was because the box was filled with one of the top gems in the world. It is also a gem that is regarded as life by seafarers all over the world. It is known as the crystal of sea water. It is produced in the depths of the sea and is the favorite gem of the sea god. It can bless the seafarers that there will be no danger when they sail on the sea.

  In medieval Europe, some people used this gemstone as a **** stone that could cure some diseases. Wearing this gemstone at the throat helps to cure diseases of the respiratory system. There are even more exaggerated claims that when you put this gem in your mouth at midnight, you will meet the devil living in **** to communicate, and ask all kinds of questions and the devil will answer it.

  Because this gem is a precious gem that the devil fears most, it has the function of warding off evil spirits. Of course, these are all legends. But it is undeniable that the love for this gemstone has been deeply rooted in the history of sailing for hundreds of years, and the crew members wearing this gemstone are equivalent to wearing a talisman. Bless the crew to survive the rough seas, the name of this gem is aquamarine, which is a natural beryl.

  The color is light blue-green, the best kind of aquamarine, of course, the deep-sea blue is the most precious. Like emeralds, gemstones are the top beryl variety, and the price is not much worse than diamonds? And as the best quality aquamarines have been developed over the centuries, the prices have gone up.

   I can sell an aquamarine as big as a finger cap for more than tens of thousands of dollars, which is several times more expensive than gold. This is not the main reason why the crew members were shocked. What made everyone overwhelmed was the few aquamarines in the box. Whether it is quality or weight, it can break the world record. Although this small sterling silver box is not big, there are four top-level aquamarines in blue color.

   And none of these aquamarines are as big as a coconut. You can imagine a top Hainan gem as big as a coconut. Pure aquamarine, natural aquamarine without any cutting treatment, who can accept it. Although these aquamarines were tightly wrapped in white sheepskin, only the tip of the iceberg was exposed, which made all the team members present collectively stupid.

  Fortunately, every one of these team members following Yang Yong has a good temperament and has passed the test, so that they will not see these golden treasures going crazy and give Yang Yong undeserved thoughts. After being amazed by everyone, he began to praise and lament his own boss, who is indeed the son of the goddess of luck. A treasure map found in a Buddha statue without identifying the true and false, dared to come to the Bahamas to hunt for treasure.

   What makes people feel incredible is that this pirate treasure actually exists, and Yang Yong has found it. The artillery made of so much gold and these shells are already very valuable, but I didn't expect that a box of gems was dug up in the end. The most exaggerated thing is that these sapphires, which are regarded as amulets by sailors, are the size of coconuts, which is too exaggerated. I didn't expect to have such a great future as a pirate in ancient times. It's amazing how one can loot such a treasure.

   For the sake of safety and not to irritate his team members, Yang Yong hid it in a small box made of sterling silver. After four sapphires the size of a coconut, he quickly closed the box and handed it over to Mr. Peterson, the captain of the Anna, and instructed.

"Mr Peterson, you are a seafarer who has been at sea all your life, of course you know the price of these aquamarines. How attractive is it to seafarers? So you have to put these gemstones in the safe in my room with your own hands, and so on. After the pirate treasure is finished, I will give an explanation to the crew and staff, and give everyone a big surprise."

  Captain Peterson has sailed at sea all his life. As the so-called experience is extremely experienced, a ship sailing at sea is a closed environment. A trip to the sea is as short as two or three months, and as long as half a year. How can there be two brushes to lead dozens of crew members, and they can live safely on the sea for more than half a year.

   It is no exaggeration to say that he is half a psychologist in the control of psychology. Peterson saw Yang Yong hand the gem box into his hands so solemnly. I also understood the meaning of Yang Yong, so I just nodded solemnly, and then took the small box made of sterling silver on the speedboat and returned to the Anna.
