Rebirth of a technological power - Chapter 53 Fifty tons of gold

Cai Jin did not return home directly, but drove to the beach.

Putting his hands on Benben, he optimized the battery pack of Benben.

Then, ‘Benben’ ran towards the beach and quickly entered the sea water.

Opening the laptop, the underwater world is displayed on the screen.

The propeller pushed ‘Benben’ forward quickly, reaching a speed of 20m/s, which is 72km/h!

This speed is nothing on land or in the air.

But in the water, it is already very fast!

As Benben continued to scan the seabed maps one after another, they were continuously transferred back to his laptop.

“That’s a sunken ship!” Cai Jin’s eyes lit up as he watched a sunken ship appear on the screen.

He quickly controlled ‘Bengben’ to go to the sunken ship.

Soon, ‘Benben’ arrived at the place where the shipwreck was.

This is a ship, probably a modern ship.

Cai Jin couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. Ancient sunken ships would have porcelain and other antiques on them, which would have salvage value.

What valuable things can be found on modern ships?

Modern trade is all about industrial products or raw materials. After decades of shipwreck, these things have long been worthless.

However, Cai Jin began to control ‘Benben’ to explore the ship.

After decades of shipwrecks, not much has been submerged by sediment.

Soon Cai Jin saw the corpse on the screen.

Each corpse shows how terrified and desperate they were when the ship sank.

Benben entered the warehouse. The warehouse was filled with boxes, and the boxes were all locked.

The ‘stupid’ mechanical arm removed a lock and opened the box.

Cai Jin’s eyes widened with shock.

This box actually contains strips of gold.

Even though he has a lot of money now, the impact of gold is still so shocking.

“Fuck. So much gold!” Cai Jin swallowed, his heart beating rapidly.

Take a deep breath.

Cai Jin controlled and randomly selected a box again and opened it. There were still strips of gold.

“These boxes aren’t all gold, are they?” A thought popped into Cai Jin’s mind.

He was frightened by his own idea.

After looking at the location of the sunken ship, it was located on the high seas.

The wreck is located one hundred meters below the water.

Let ‘Benben’ come out of the water and check the position again to make sure it is accurate.

This is literally on the high seas!

Cai Jin couldn’t help but feel excited.

The previously discovered sunken ship is located offshore and within China’s territorial waters. Private salvage is not allowed here. Salvage is illegal salvage, which is illegal and can be easily discovered.

But on the high seas, this problem does not exist.

The proceeds from salvage are completely legal.

Let ‘Benben’ get out of the sea, fly into the sky, and return to him.

“The next step is to rent a boat.”

Cai Jin went to the dock the next day and rented a yacht.

At this time, more than 60% of the yachts were idle.

Renting a yacht couldn’t be easier!

Let Benben control the ‘yacht’ and sail to the location of the sunken ship.

Arriving above the sunken ship, Benben went into the sea with a mechanical arm carrying a rope.

Cai Jin looked at the laptop screen. When Benben tied the rope and got the box to the ship’s board, he controlled the roller skate and kept retracting the rope. When the box was pulled to the water, he took it to the yacht.

Go up and down, and keep fishing up the boxes.

In the office, boxes are laid out one by one.

Opening the box that had had its lock cut off, the large yellow croakers were quite dazzling, shining with golden light.

Cai Jin counted and found that there were a total of three hundred large yellow croakers in this box. One large yellow croaker weighed 375 grams, and three hundred large yellow croakers weighed 112.5 kilograms.

Open the boxes one by one. The boxes are either large yellow croakers, small yellow croakers, or gold bricks.

A total of 30,000 large yellow croakers, 60,000 small yellow croakers, and those gold bricks were counted. This batch of gold amounted to 50 tons.

According to the current gold price, one gram is 546 yuan, so this batch of gold is worth 27.3 billion yuan!

Cai Jin couldn’t help but gasped!

It was really hard for him to imagine what the sunken ship was used for, and how it could transport so much gold, and it had no other cargo, just transporting gold!

This much gold, even during the Republic of China, was a wealth that could rival the country’s wealth.

“Holy shit… this can’t be the gold transported on the legendary Apollo Maru, right?” Cai Jin seemed to remember something and couldn’t sit still.

Legend has it that the Apollo Maru contained forty tons of gold, twelve tons of platinum, forty boxes of cultural relics and jewelry, worth up to five billion U.S. dollars, and even a priceless treasure-BJ’s skull.

This priceless sunken ship made all countries “restless”, but was eventually sunk by four torpedoes from US warships.

In 1977, China began to salvage the Apollo Maru sunken ship. However, 40 tons of gold and the BJ skull were never found.

Therefore, there has always been a speculation that this is a scam by the United States. In fact, the 40 tons of gold and BJ’s skull have fallen into the hands of the United States.

Now think about it, this sunken ship is not very far from the salvaged Apollo Maru, so it is possible that the Japanese did not move all the gold to the Apollo Maru.

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed possible. The more Cai Jin thought about it, the more excited he became. This batch of gold fell into his hands. This was a huge fortune!

He caused the virtual currency to collapse. The virtual currency market of hundreds of billions of dollars completely collapsed, and countless wealth was reduced to nothing. But in fact, what he gained was only 82 billion yuan!

And now this batch of gold is equivalent to one-third of that wealth!

Cai Jin’s hands were trembling!

Excited heart, trembling hands!

With this batch of gold, it is equivalent to giving him a trump card!

Cai Jin did not want to sell the gold because he still had a lot of cash in his bank account.

Put the gold into the safe one by one, with gold bricks at the bottom, large yellow croakers on top, and small yellow croakers on top.

There are four safes in total.

Originally, these safes were prepared for confidential documents and finances.

As a result, it is now all used to store gold.

As for those boxes, they are placed in the warehouse, maybe they will be used later.

When leaving the office, the doors are closed.

After returning home, Cai Jin took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Benben, on the other hand, actively charges, and its power is also consumed to a great extent.

However, even though it is charging, it is still on, taking over the home network, cameras, and the company’s servers and networks.

If there is any problem, we will alert you as soon as possible.

This is why Cai Jin can sleep peacefully and soundly.

He slept for more than ten hours, and when he woke up, it was already evening.

He yawned and looked listless.

Benben is fully charged.

After lying on the bed for a while, he reluctantly got up and washed himself.

The oyster rice noodles cooked by his mother exuded a strong fragrance, and he had already given him a full bowl.

Let Benben open the video connection with ‘Beibi’.

The video connection was soon established, and what came into view was Nie Xiaoyu wearing a woolen sweater and pushing a trolley while visiting the supermarket.

I took a look at the local temperature in Nie Xiaoyu. The highest temperature during the day was 15 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature at night was only 6 degrees Celsius.

Looking at the temperatures here, the highest temperature during the day is still over 30 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature at night is 223 degrees Celsius.
