Chapter 454: [On the Harvest of Pirate Treasures]

   After seeing Captain Peterson disappear with the cold gem, Yang Yong stood on the edge of the first hole. Lighting a cigar, he looked at several staff members with a smile, and used a tripod to carry bags of soil up. Yang Yong thought that after finding these aquamarines, the robbery of this pirate treasure would be over.

   It was impossible for anything else to appear. Unexpectedly, just after a cigar was half smoked, my friends heard cheers from the cave. Since it was too troublesome to go up and down, Yang Yong could only suppress his curiosity and wait quietly at the entrance of the cave. Soon someone would bring up the discoveries in the cave. Yang Yong was right. Three minutes later, the staff who were standing beside the tripod took great pains to carry a large wooden box up.

   Yang Yong was surprised that the size of this wooden box was a bit exaggerated, and the weight was not light. Pressing the tripod with a weight of more than five tons squeaks and creaks like the tripod's load-bearing system collapses. Good, this expensive tripod finally withstands the pressure and carries the big wooden box up.

  This large wooden box is more than 1.5 meters high, with the same length and width. There is a large rusty copper lock on the box. There are also some microscopic plants unique to the sea growing on the box. The rust on the iron bars used to protect the box is also two centimeters thick, and many of the iron bars have been rusted and broken. But what I didn't expect is that the wood used in the box is extremely special. Not only is the wood thick and heavy, but also the anti-corrosion effect is better than that of white oak. It has been buried in the ground for hundreds of years, and the box does not rot at all. It is really surprising.

  Although the copper lock that locks the box has a history of more than 300 years, it can be regarded as a cultural relic, and its value exceeds thousands of dollars. But Yang Yong didn't have time to care about the loss of these copper locks, so he ordered the staff to take the fire axe and smash the green copper lock. Hearing the sound of a bang, the copper lock broke and Yang Yong opened the box arrogantly with a cigar in his mouth. All he could see were golden jewels.

   At this time, Yang Yong breathed a sigh of relief. The first unearthed were some Spanish gold coins, Portuguese gold coins, and even British gold coins. Although there are a lot of them, it is impossible for the pirate treasure to store only these gold coins, and where are the gold and silver jewels that have been looted? Is there any other hiding place. When this big box appeared, the last point in Yang Yong's heart finally disappeared.

   This wooden box stores some gold and silver jewelry, most of which are gold and silver jewelry, and some other precious utensils. Tableware made of solid gold, forks, knives, plates, candle holders made of solid gold. The other most is that some women wear gold and silver jewelry, which are piled up in the box in a mess, and there is no damage at all, which is also a miracle.

  Because of the huge area of ​​the box, there are various things inside, everything and it is very heavy. If the contents of the box are poured out like gold coins, it takes a lot of energy to sort out the gold and silver jewelry in the box. It's getting late and it's late at night. Since everyone is very excited, but after more than ten hours of continuous battle, even Smith with the best physical strength shows a state of exhaustion.

  There is no way, Yang Yong can only order the box to be locked again, and then rinse the dirt on the box with pure water. Move the whole box to the Anna, and after a good night's rest, I will organize and register these gold and silver jewelry tomorrow.

   After the gold and silver jewelry box was unearthed, Yang Yong repeatedly confirmed that there were only some rocks left in the natural cave. After careful inspection by a medium-sized metal detector, and after there was no precious metal left, the various sandy soil dug out was backfilled intact. Then the five-meter-high pit was restored to its original state, and the more than 20 exhausted employees returned to the resort in front of the deletion.

   After cleaning my own hygiene, I happily had a supper with the staff. Only then did he return to his room to rest. At 10 o'clock the next morning, Yang Yong couldn't stand the high temperature and got up from the bed. When he came to the restaurant, all the staff had already finished breakfast. Sitting happily in the living room chatting, playing poker and waiting for Yang Yong's arrival, after eating and drinking, Yang Yong ordered all his belongings to be cleaned up.

   After leaving the staff behind, they boarded the speedboat to return to the Anna, and then turned the bow non-stop, and drove all the way along the coastline of the United States to Maine, the base of the Yang family. In the warehouse on the ship, Yang Yong took people and began to organize the harvest of pirate treasures in detail. I don't know if I don't organize it, but I'm shocked when I organize it. The harvest of the pirate treasure is no worse than that of San Francisco and Anna Castle.

  Although the gold products are not as exaggerated as the Indian treasures, the weight alone is not enough. Especially the twelve golden artillery pieces, although the calibers of the artillery pieces are different, the weight of the artillery pieces and the cannonballs is also quite terrifying. Preliminary estimates reached the weight of ten tons of gold, of course, the purity of these golds is not so high.

   can only reach the 80% level, which is also impossible. The smelting level hundreds of years ago was not as high as it is now. There is no way, to increase the purity of gold to more than 99%, it is not bad to have 80%. When sorting out these golden cannons, Yang Yong noticed that not only the beautiful patterns were drawn on the cannons, but also that there was a text on the cannons.

   It's just that these words are written in Spanish, and it just so happens that Captain Peterson has worked for the Spanish company for a few years. Know some simple Spanish, but cannons were made hundreds of years ago? There is a big difference between ancient Spanish and modern Spanish. So Captain Peterson just told Yang Yong some words he understood, intermittently half of the old Spanish didn't understand the meaning at all.

   But the meaning translated by the other half gave Yang Yong a great hint. The above meaning is very simple. That was the Spanish governor of South America at that time, scavenging for the gold treasures of the Indian Inca civilization, and then plundering the wealth back. After the efforts of skilled craftsmen, twelve artillery shells of the same caliber were cast and planned to be shipped to Spain for the King of Spain. Gold exposure for casting artillery came from South America, and a significant portion of the gold came from Central America and Mexico.

   Originally, these artillery pieces were given to the king of Spain as a gift, and the king was pleased to absolve the viceroy of corruption. In this way, the governor could return to live in Spain without being caught and sentenced to death on the gallows. But I didn't expect that the **** pirates would be robbed, and there was a black and black, and all these golden artillery were buried on Swan Island.

   This is why the Spanish fleet hates the crew and captains of the Greek Outlaw. The reason why the captain of the pirate ship Spencer had to be arrested and executed, at the same time, Yang Yong had to sigh that the captain of the pirate ship of Spencer was really daring. Even the gift of twelve golden cannons that the Spanish governor gave to the Spanish king was looted. No wonder the Spanish Armada had to kill Spencer.
