Chapter 962 Find the treasure
This time, not only her, but Liu Meilan also brought all her friends under the sea.
The big turtle follows Liu Meilan's consciousness, so it is the most spiritual.
The nearest coordinates were over 200 nautical miles away. But when they arrived, everyone was stunned. It was just a vast ocean, with no islands. Where could they find the treasure?
Just when everyone was confused, Liu Meilan had already changed into her diving suit.
Although there are no islands nearby, that's because they've been submerged by the sea. There are many classrooms just three or four meters below the sea level.
This was the island in the past.
The big turtle seemed to know what treasure was, and roamed around this area with its disciples.
However, the location of the treasure has not been found yet, but Liu Meilan has discovered through the eyes of a large sea turtle that this place is particularly suitable for pearl cultivation.
The underwater scenery is really beautiful, and there are many fish around.
Just as Liu Meilan was admiring the underwater scenery, a big turtle came to report, so Liu Meilan caught up with the big turtle and saw an underwater cave.
This must have been a cave on the island in the past. The entrance is more than one meter high and one and a half meters wide.
The big sea turtle couldn't get in by lying sideways, but it was smart and could swim in by turning sideways.
In a patch of rotten grass and ruins, Liu Meilan found many boxes. The outside of the boxes was pitch black, and the sea turtle rubbed it with its body, revealing its original appearance. These boxes were probably made of copper, square and piled up throughout the cave.
Liu Meilan roughly counted the boxes, about seventy-eight. Calculating the depth, it was over thirty meters, not too deep.
Fu Chen was worried. "Meilan, I'll let the others go down first. You don't go down. After all, this is an unknown sea area and it's very dangerous."
Liu Meilan patted her chest and smiled proudly, "No one dares to say that they are better than me in the sea. Don't worry, I know my limits."
After Liu Meilan finished speaking, she packed up her equipment.
At this time, Fu Chen arranged a team of seven people, wearing diving suits and diving equipment, and went down together.
Amid Fu Chen's worry, Liu Meilan jumped into the sea first, followed by the other seven people.
Compared to the caution of others, Liu Meilan was particularly fast because she had just been here once.
The seven people thought of Captain Fu's instructions and hurried to speed up, worried that something might happen to Liu Meilan.
Liu Meilan pretended to look for a few places, and then she seemed to have accidentally discovered the big cave and swam in.
Because of what the big turtle did just now, it was a little turbid inside, but you could vaguely see a big box inside.
Liu Meilan gestured, "Found it."
The seven of them were stunned. They had only been down there for a few minutes, and they had already found it. This was too easy, right?
Just as the seven people were stunned, Liu Meilan gestured again to move one person out first.
Liu Meilan single-handedly lifted a large box. Although it had buoyancy in the seawater, it was still very heavy. Even Liu Meilan, who was very strong, felt that it was heavy. It was really heavy!
By feeling and mental arithmetic, Liu Meilan determined that the boxes contained gold, and that they were neatly arranged gold bricks.
Liu Meilan took out a large box that was about one meter long, 0.8 meters wide, and 0.6 meters high.
The others saw it and thought the box was not heavy, but when they tried to lift it themselves, they realized that it was impossible for one person to lift it, and it would take four people to move it.
Those who had thought they were accompanying Liu Meilan now put away their inner contempt. Liu Meilan was truly capable, at least stronger than them. For a woman to fish across the sea was not just talk; she had to have real skills.
After moving to a slightly flatter place outside, Liu Meilan looked back and saw someone following her. Then she pulled out the rope from her waist and tied the box up.
However, she didn't have enough rope, so she borrowed someone else's rope and floated up. Like a mermaid, she was very skilled in the water.
When Liu Meilan emerged from the water, Fu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led his men in a speedboat to Liu Meilan's vicinity. "Meilan, have you found her?"
Fortunately, there was a big turtle to help, otherwise it would be very difficult to carry it because it was so heavy.
Liu Meilan nodded. "Yes, I found it! Hurry up and pull it up. I'll tow it in the water. It's too heavy. This speedboat may not be able to do it."
Fu Chen was stunned, "How heavy is it!"
Liu Meilan replied: "One box weighs about ten tons."
Fu Chen took a deep breath, "Ten tons? It should be gold. Our speedboat really can't hold it all."
Liu Meilan nodded. "Yes, so we need to pull the box up first, then use the buoyancy to pull it to the warship, and use the crane to lift it up."
This place is too shallow and the warships cannot pass through, so we can only use this stupid method.
Fu Chen and several others immediately pulled the rope upwards, and soon, a large box was gradually pulled up.
Liu Meilan lifted it in the water, and several people worked together to finally get the big box to the vicinity of the warship, and then put a crane on it. Judging from the taut ropes, it was really very heavy.
Liu Meilan said: "There is no danger down there, they are all small fish. There are still many large boxes, and the comrades down there also need to rotate."
Fu Chen gently held Liu Meilan's hand and said, "Take care!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I know. It's very fast."
After saying that, Liu Meilan checked her equipment and then dived quickly.
There were already two large boxes tied up below. Liu Meilan gestured to them to pull the ropes and go up.
These people left three people down there, and the other four pulled the rope and floated up.
When they got up there, they did the same thing. After the box was put onto the speedboat, the four people went up to take turns resting.
Then four more people replaced them, and this cycle repeated. During the fourth substitution, Fu Chen asked Liu Meilan to come up.
Although Liu Meilan was not tired, she climbed onto the speedboat at Fu Chen's insistence, "Actually, I can still..."
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said firmly, "There are so many of us, you don't need to work so hard, just treat it as a real combat exercise."
Seeing Fu Chen say this, Liu Meilan couldn't insist any longer. "Well, I just counted them, there are seventy-eight boxes in total. Judging from the size and weight, there must be quite a bit of gold."
Fu Chen and Liu Meilan boarded the warship and looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the boxes placed on the deck.
"Meilan, if you were all gold, that would be hundreds of tons!" Fu Chen was astonished. "Being a bandit is really too profitable."
Liu Meilan chuckled. "This Duke of Nice is very prestigious among the local colonial leaders. He knows a lot of information, so if he wants to rob, it will be easier than a real bandit."
Fu Chen nodded, "Yes, he has this ability!"
Every time a box was brought up, it was immediately sealed. Although Fu Chen wanted to see the gold inside with his own eyes, he finally held back.
But soon, after twenty-two boxes, some boxes became much lighter. This made Fu Chen and Liu Meilan a little disappointed. No matter what good things were, they were not as good as gold!
