The dissipation of the thermal air took away the clouds in the sky, and now the sky above Farewell Island is spotless and blue in color, like a large piece of blue crystal hanging in the air, so clean and pure that it makes people throb.

Qin Shiou was lying on the deck, picked up his mobile phone and took a few photos and posted them on QQ space.

It was ten o'clock in the morning. Newfoundland was in West Fourth District, and Beijing was in East Eighth District. The difference between the two sides was about ten and a half hours. For Huaxia, it was eleven and a half o'clock in the evening.

Eleven or twelve o'clock is the prime time for urban night owls' activities, and the qq group at this time of the day is also more lively. Qin Shiou came out of the water to say hello, and a group of classmates caught him and asked him to return to China for a treat.

"Beat the local tyrants."

"Birds and beasts don't talk about loyalty anymore. When he earned two hundred yuan in college, he would invite me to have a skewer. Now that he is worth tens of billions, grandma has disappeared."

"Bird, animal chicory, when will you come back and improve my food?"

"Eat, eat, eat, you must eat, as long as you can eat anything!"

Qin Shiou couldn't stop laughing. He was about to reply to the message when his phone rang. The yacht hadn't left the dock yet, so the signal was strong.

This is an unfamiliar call. After he connected, he first asked, "Who are you?"

A steady voice came out of the microphone: "Hello, Mr. Qin? I'm Billy Stormer from Odyssey Ocean Exploration Company. I saw your post on the Shipwreck Home Forum. Ask about the Fernandez family's The shipwreck of the Dengshiyu, may I ask, did you discover this shipwreck?"

Hearing the key word Dengshiyu, Qin Shiou became vigilant and said, "How did you get my phone number?"

Registration at Shipwreck House requires verification of mobile phone information. But the forum kept the cell phone information secret, and obviously, they didn't do that, otherwise this Billy Stormer wouldn't have his phone number.

Billy obviously guessed what he was thinking, and explained: "I still have another identity, which is the moderator of the forum. So I can check the information you left, and then I took the liberty of calling you."

Qin Shiou was relieved like this, but he didn't tell the truth. Thinking of the captain's notebook he had found, he said: "I recently got an old notebook. It contains records about the Dengshiyu,

I am more interested, so I would like to consult, do you have relevant information? "

Hearing what he said, Billy's voice became a little excited, and he said, "Do you have any information on the location of the sunken ship Deng's Fish in your notebook? According to our investigation, this ship was loaded with 500 tons when it sank. Silver, if we can salvage it. Man, we can be billionaires."

"What, five hundred tons of silver?" Qin Shiou asked in amazement. He blinked, damn it, it's obviously a hundred tons, okay? Is there silver in other parts of the ship?

"Yes, five hundred tons of silver. This ship sailed from the port of Algecira in 1781. It was loaded with five hundred tons of silver and headed to Boston, where it was shipped to New York."

"This batch of silver was the military expenditure that the Spanish government lent to the Washington government at that time. It was used to fight against the dog-raised British and help the immature United States of America win the War of Independence."

"As a result, there was a problem with the ship's course. The last time I contacted it, it was found that it had lost its way at sea and crossed the forty-fifth parallel north latitude. After that, the ship never appeared again and was listed Into the ranks of the sunken ship."

Billy obviously sincerely wanted Qin Shiou to join forces to salvage the Deng's Fish, and told some background information.

Qin Shiou was confused, no, there was obviously only 100 tons of silver on board, how could it be said to be 500 tons? It is impossible to say that silver fell into the sea during the shipwreck, the captain's cabin was well sealed.

In this way, what about the remaining four hundred tons of silver?

Qin Shiou couldn't figure it out, so he threw the question mark to Billy, and said, "According to the notebook, buddy, the Deng's Fish only has one hundred tons of silver."

Billy over there fell silent. Qin Shiou thought he hung up the phone, but then the voice rang again, and this time he was a lot angrier, saying: "If this is the case, it proves one thing, damn it, the legend It's true, those sons of dogs in Spain cheated the northern government of the United States at that time!"

Qin Shiou was even more confused, what the hell was going on with him?

Billy quickly asked: "Qin, are you in Newfoundland? I'm an American and live in California now. If I can, I'd like to contact you and take a look at that notebook of yours, because it may be related to An old case between two countries!"

"What old case?" Qin Shiou's raging fire of gossip ignited.

Billy explained: "I don't know if you are clear, our War of Independence was not our independent victory over the British. At that time, we had the support of countries such as France, Italy, Portugal and Spain."

"At that time, Washington's northern army was poor and empty, and these countries provided assistance to varying degrees, including 500 tons of silver aided by Spain, although the silver was lent to the American government in the form of loans."

"However, this batch of materials that were very important to the Northern Army was not delivered to Boston in the end. However, because the American government was the lender at the time, many unfair terms were signed in this loan transaction."

"One of them is that the Spanish government will not be responsible for the safety of the silver when it leaves Spanish waters. Whether the money is lost or stolen by pirates, the American government will have to pay for it."

"As a result, this batch of silver was not sent to the land of the United States in the end, but because of the loan contract, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Washington government still had difficulty repaying the debt of 500 tons of silver."

"There has always been a rumor about this matter. Rumors say that this transaction is a conspiracy by the Spaniards. They deceived the US government. There is only one hundred tons of silver on board, and the rest are silver-plated iron plates!"

"It's a pity that there is no evidence. This rumor has always been just a rumor and cannot be confirmed. If the information recorded in your notebook is true, then this rumor is obviously true!"

Billy should be a patriot, and when he explained this old case, he was furious, and words like "", "children's", and "" appeared endlessly.

Qin Shiou didn't want to get involved in this so-called two-country case, what good would it do him?

Besides, he was talking nonsense about the notebook just now, the notebook is almost soaked, how can the words on it be read clearly?

So, he apologized and rejected Billy's request. Please, he is just a fisherman now, and he just wants to live a leisurely life. It is better not to involve him in political and economic matters.

Returning to QQ again, Qin Shiou found that the group was full of quarrels, and the topic was that he was too pretending to be b, and even came out to show his head and dived to disappear. Zhong Dajun kept yelling that he was scared away by the topic of treating guests to dinner.

Qin Shiou had to rectify his name: "Go away, I just answered a phone call, and you have turned upside down if I'm not here! Isn't it just a treat for a meal, the problem is how do I invite you? Can't get together!"

"Buy a plane and fly one by one, anyway, you are in the trenches now." Mao Weilong made a smirk.

When it came to buying an airplane, Qin Shiou was really moved. He really needed an airplane. (It’s a great event to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
