Chapter 143 Ancient Warship
. . . . . .
A few days were spent in Ye Yuan's fishing.
These days, Ye Yuan had a very relaxed life. As the crew members gradually got used to the fishing skills, now they can completely decide the timing of getting out of the net, and the captain himself has nothing to do on the boat.
Today Ye Yuan practiced "Water Control Art" in the rest cabin as usual. After finishing the practice, he was going to rest. For some reason, he lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep even after talking and talking.
Simply, Ye Yuan got up and went directly to the deck. The ocean in the middle of the night is quite scary, the distance is pitch black, only the sound of waves beating against the hull can be heard from time to time.
Fishing boats usually have a crew member on duty at night, and Ma Hua happened to be on duty tonight.
When he saw Ye Yuan standing on the deck, he also walked out of the duty room.
"Boss, why are you still awake so late?"
"Can't sleep, come out for a walk, if you're sleepy, go to sleep, I'll take over for you."
Ye Yuan said to Ma Hua.
"No need, the shift will be changed in one hour, and then it will not be me."
Ma Hua laughed a couple of times while talking.
Ye Yuan took out a box of cigarettes and handed one to Ma Hua, and he himself took one out of the box and put it in his mouth.
Ma Hua stretched out her hand to light it for Ye Yuan, and then lighted it for herself.
He took a deep breath, and then spit out a smoke ring into the air. Since it was at sea, the smoke ring was quickly blown away by the sea breeze.
"It's better to be on the ship. I used to want to smoke a cigarette when I was on duty on a warship, but I couldn't."
While Ma Hua was talking, she was thinking about the time when she was a soldier.
The two chatted one after another, and an hour passed quickly. Pei Fei came out to replace Ma Hua at this time. After Ma Hua and Ye Yuan said hello, they went back to the cabin to rest.
Pei Fei didn't talk as much as Ma Hua, seeing Ye Yuan just greeted him briefly, he just stayed in the duty room without saying a word.
Ye Yuan knew that Pei Fei was such a person, and he had no choice but to stand on the deck and use his perception to observe the scenery of the seabed because he was still not sleepy.
Now using perception to look at the scenery under the sea has become a good choice for Ye Yuan to pass the time when he is bored.
When Ye Yuan's perception spread towards the sea, he was suddenly attracted by an object like a centipede, and Ye Yuan's perception quickly approached it.
This is already an area about 500 meters below the sea, and when Ye Yuan sensed it, he realized that this is not a centipede, it is obviously an ancient warship.
Ye Yuan didn't know much about ancient warships, but he could still tell that the ship in front of him belonged to a very ancient galley.
The hull is all made of wood, and there is a row of holes on the ship's side, and very long oars protrude from the holes.
This is also the reason why Ye Yuan can know that this is a galley.
Ye Yuan recalled the pitiful few knowledge points about ancient warships in his mind.
Ancient warships generally had single-layer oars and double-layer oars. In the 6th century, single-layer oars were mainly used, and after the 8th century, double-layer oars were mainly used.
Generally, there will be 60 crew members and 120 oarsmen on a ship. The bow is equipped with a ram. There are two types of rams, one is located underwater to sink the enemy ship, and the other is located on the water to crush the oars of the enemy ship. Make it paralyzed to facilitate boarding and hand-to-hand combat.
Ships are generally equipped with ballistas or fire projectors.
Looking at the warship in front of him and comparing it with the information in his memory, it was an ancient warship with single oars, and it seemed that he was really an "old guy".
Ye Yuan is still not that excited about a warship. According to Ye Yuan's experience, there is little chance of something good appearing on the warship.
After all, the main function of warships is to fight at sea. Who would carry a lot of gold, silver and jewelry when fighting?
But it is absolutely impossible to give up like this.
If I found such a warship and didn't look for it, I would be sorry for myself.
He wasn't in a hurry to use his perception to see what was inside the ship. After all, he couldn't sleep, so he might as well go down to explore by himself.
This also gives myself something to do on this sleepless night.
Ye Yuan glanced at Pei Fei in the distance. This guy was still in the duty room, reading a book about machinery in his hand. Maybe he noticed something, and raised his head to look towards Ye Yuan.
After realizing that Ye Yuan was looking at him, he nodded to Ye Yuan, then continued to look down at the book in his hand.
Ye Yuan got up and went to the cab, Ding Yi happened to be on duty in the cab tonight.
Ye Yuan asked Ding Yi to circle the sea area, and then left the cab.
Came to the blind corner of the stern, avoiding the sight of the equipped duty room, and sneaked into the sea alone.
When Ye Yuan entered the sea, he felt a lot more comfortable all over his body. With the practice of water control art, Ye Yuan felt more and more comfortable in the water. Sometimes he would worry, would he not want to go back to land after practicing?
Following the direction of perception, Ye Yuan came to the location of the sunken ship.
Ye Yuan found that the sunken ship in front of him was well preserved, the hull wasn't damaged much, but there were two huge holes near the bottom of the ship.
Ye Yuan swam to the deck of the sunken ship and found hundreds of remains on it.
Maybe it's because there are no large creatures here, the remains are well preserved, and even the cables on the boat haven't completely rotted away.
Looking at the thrower on the deck, it was further confirmed that this was a warship.
Ye Yuan searched back and forth on this warship for a long time, and finally found a completely closed large box in a place that looked like the captain's cabin.
Ye Yuan's perception was unable to penetrate the box, which meant that there was still packaging inside.
Through many times of experience, Ye Yuan knows that his perception is not omnipotent, such as iron plates and stones, these perceptions are impenetrable, even the paraffin wax used by ancient people for waterproofing Ye Yuan's perception cannot penetrate.
But for some wood, Ye Yuan's perception is not a problem.
Ye Yuan directly put the box into the space, and then took some tableware, ornaments and other decorations that looked relatively complete on the ship.
Ye Yuan didn't take those things that could no longer be distinguished, so let those things accompany these remains and bury them in this sea area for a long time.
Last night, these Ye Yuan didn't stay any longer, and quickly returned to the surface of the water. Since there were lights on the fishing boat, they were very eye-catching in this dark sea. position, and quickly swam towards his own fishing boat.
Coming to the side of the fishing boat, Ye Yuan checked Pei Fei's position with his senses, and found that he was still reading in the duty room, so he sneaked back to the boat and carefully returned to his rest cabin.
Back in the rest cabin, Ye Yuan took a hot shower first, after all, being wet all over was not very comfortable.
Take out the wooden box, the box is made of wood, and each corner of the box is wrapped with silver sheets.
From this point of view alone, one can tell that the contents of the box are unusual. After all, a box whose corners can be wrapped with silver is considered a very good item.
