Chapter 484 Behemoth

Gao Yuan and his brother Gao Meng dug a shaft in the cellar according to their previous plan.

A windlass was set up at the entrance of the cellar. The Gao brothers were responsible for digging, and Yan Yonghui's younger brother was responsible for transporting soil upwards.

Due to proper cooperation, the excavation progressed very smoothly. In one morning, it was dug down six meters. Counting the height of the bottom of the cellar from the ground, it was almost nine meters.

The Gao brothers planned to clean up the soil at the bottom and come up for lunch, but at this moment, Gao Yuan's shovel made a crisp sound.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a broken piece of porcelain, and it was very similar to the broken pieces of Lu Fei's rabbit hair cup.

Seeing the broken porcelain pieces, Gaoyuan's fatigue disappeared instantly, and he continued digging excitedly.

With this digging, more and more broken porcelain shards and rotten wood chips became more and more dense, which made Gao Yuan feel incredible.

Gao Meng made a good support to ensure that it would not collapse, and Gao Meng continued to expand to both sides.

When the bottom was expanded to five meters wide, Gao Yuan finally believed that this was an ancient sunken ship. He was not sure whether it was the same ship as the opposite one, but it was absolutely true that it was an ancient sunken ship loaded with porcelain from the Song Dynasty.

After listening to Gao Yuan's story, Lu Fei couldn't wait to jump on the iron bucket for transporting earth, and let someone lower him down with a windlass.

When he reached the bottom, Lu Fei turned on his flashlight and checked for more than half an hour. He sat on the ground and screamed strangely.

right here.

That's right, this is definitely it.

Looking at the direction of the sunken ship, Lu Fei was 100% sure that it belonged to the same cargo ship as the one opposite.

The separated highway is just above the hull.

From the density of the porcelain pieces, Lu Fei could almost conclude that his side was the stern of the ship, and the islanders' side should be the bow.

Ancient Yellow River canal cargo ships were divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

The passenger cabin is above the deck. The front half of the first floor below is the helm cabin and the storage compartment for essentials for sailing. The small part at the stern and the second floor below are the real cargo holds.

And ancient wood

The structure of the ship has complex workmanship on the bow, and safety facilities are layered one after another. In order to balance the weight, cargo with a large proportion of weight is generally stored at the back of the stern.

In other words, there are much more things on Lu Fei's side than on the island country's side.

This is life!

After lunch, everyone immediately went into battle.

Since the space at the bottom was wide enough, Lu Fei asked three brothers to work together.

Gao Meng is responsible for space reinforcement, Lu Fei and Gao Meng stand on both sides and expand outward, and the three brothers are dedicated to sending earth upward.

After working for five hours at a stretch, the bottom space expanded to fifteen meters wide but still did not reach the edge of the hull. This shows how huge this cargo ship is.

After a short break, we dug for another two hours and finally found the edge of the hull.

If measured carefully, the width of the ship is an astonishing twenty-two meters.

Based on this width, the length of this cargo ship is at least 60 meters.

In the Song Dynasty, such a behemoth was definitely a super giant.

Lu Fei was very excited when the width was measured, but the dense layers of porcelain fragments under his feet were shocking and even more distressing.

If these things were all in one piece, it would be a pity that the country would be extremely rich now.

More than half of these broken porcelain fragments are black porcelain from Jian Kiln, and most of the rest are from Longquan Kiln. However, there are very few fragments of Ge Kiln that have been discovered before.

There are simply no porcelain pieces from other famous kilns.

It can be judged from this that this was an official ship carrying porcelain from the Ge Kiln, Longquan Kiln, and the Official Kiln. The destination must be Bianliang, Tokyo, and it sank here due to some kind of accident.

Lu Fei digs up sunken ship

The purpose is to find the whole device. It is a pity to find fragments, but if they are broken, they are broken, and they are worthless to Lu Fei.

After dinner, the others rested, and Lu Fei and the Gao brothers began to clean up the debris.

Lu Fei had a single purpose and was very quick to clean up.

No matter how good the pieces are, they won’t give them a second glance, they will be shoveled away and piled aside.

Two hours later, the area was more than one meter thick, but not a single piece of equipment was found. Lu Fei couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

Gao Yuan handed over a cigarette and consoled him.

"Don't worry, if you can find A goods across the street, we must have them here too."

"What we are cleaning now is only the surface. According to common sense, the closer the surface is, the greater the impact will be when it encounters an impact."

"On the surface, these are bulk goods. High-end goods must be packed and stored at the bottom, so there must be good stuff down there."

Lu Fei smiled and said.

"Brother Gao, you are right, I understand all of this."

"According to this density, the cargo on this ship must be at least tens of thousands, and it is impossible for the whole army to be annihilated no matter how hard it is."

"I'm just worried that the opponent's progress will exceed ours, and the good things will be obtained by them first. I won't be willing to do it!"

"Brother, you can rest assured that the islanders will never expect us to clean up at the same time here."

"They built a colored steel shed and divided the restored porcelain into four grades. It was obvious that they did not want to give up every remaining piece of porcelain."

"How fast can they get if they are so calculating?"

"Brother Gao, what you said makes sense, I understand."

"Dry!"

The three of them, Lu Fei, worked for most of the night. After clearing out almost ten cubic meters, they still found nothing. After a hard day's work, they simply gave up and went up to rest.

The next morning, there was still no success.
