Chapter 220: Chapter 176 Shipwreck? Time? Detector? Shoot Everything to Pieces!!!

Swimming at an even faster pace than yesterday,

Chen Yun went full throttle, speeding ahead at approximately sixty kilometers per hour, and he reached the Dasha Fishing Grounds in about two hours.

But Chen Yun did not stop there.

Instead, he continued to swim rapidly for quite a distance, thinking about exploring deeper waters for a while.

It was only when he neared an area with gradually undulating terrain that he subconsciously stopped.

There were many huge reefs extending up from the seabed here, and swimming through them felt like navigating through a jungle of rocks.

This was a completely different sensation from what he had experienced on the seabed before.

This place concealed a mysterious wonderland invisible to common folk.

Numerous reef clusters, like a lush and verdant underwater forest, stood silently beneath the waves, revealing nature’s most secretive and magnificent aspects.

These reefs bore corals sculpted by the ages, vibrant and diverse in color and shape. Some reefs were like ancient towering trees, with interlocking coral branches; others were like abrupt peaks, rugged and lofty.

In this coral forest, the thriving and diverse ecosystem was simply breathtaking. Multicolored schools of fish darted through, sea anemones gently swayed their soft tentacles, an occasional lazy turtle glided by, or a group of agile dolphins leapt out of the water nearby, adding vivacity and life to the tranquil scene.

Chen Yun realized he must have arrived in the reef area at the boundary between the northern part of the Eastern Sea and the southern part of the Yellow Sea.

According to the map he had glanced at before, he was nearing the Su Shi Reef, where there had always been many hidden reefs on the seabed.

Su Shi Reef, part of the continental shelf extending from the offshore areas of Jiangnan Province, belonged to the Eastern Sea region. It was located in the northern part of the Eastern Sea, close to the southern tip of the Yellow Sea.

After advancements in geology and geography during the late Qing dynasty and early Republic period, it was confirmed that Su Shi Reef was situated on the continental shelf of the Eastern Sea, a part of the Hua Continent under the sea, located within Hua Country’s territorial waters and its 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone.

These reefs were a part of the extended continental shelf of Jiangnan Province; if the water were to recede, they would be the hills on this basin.

Su Shi Reef was the most famous among them.

Not only because it was the largest and tallest but also due to numerous territorial disputes surrounding it.

Gazing at the sparse and uncertain reef cluster, Chen Yun’s spiritual power caught something unexpected yet reasonable.

It was a wooden shipwreck.

It appeared to have been there for some years.

The hull had been eroded by the sea and was speckled with blemishes. The wooden deck, shattered masts, and fragments of sails were all covered with a thick layer of seaweed and coral, colorful yet with a hint of desolation.

These natural adornments had merged with the shipwreck over time, creating a mysterious and dazzling underwater landscape where the fine carving details on the ship revealed the exquisite craftsmanship and aesthetic pursuit of the artisans of the past.

Despite the shipwreck having been underwater for a long time, one could vaguely see that much of its bow was broken, not looking like natural corrosion at sea.

Clearly, the reefs, which often extended a few meters below the water surface, had been a significant nuisance to mankind’s nautical endeavors since ancient times.

Discovering a ship that had wrecked against the reefs here was not at all surprising.

Countless ships have sunk in this great ocean since ancient times.

But even if this shipwreck wasn’t rare,

Without having evolved, Chen Yun would likely never have seen this seemingly ordinary shipwreck, which in fact, most people would never get a chance to witness in their lifetime.

For Chen Yun and most people,

It was all very novel.

Thinking.

Chen Yun approached the sunken ship in the reef forest with considerable interest.

As he drew closer, his spiritual power scanned every inch of the ship more meticulously.

In the belly of the shipwreck, some cargo boxes had scattered, and perhaps they once held precious spices, silks, or gold and silver treasures.

But now, only emptiness and silence remain, left to the gentle caress of the sea currents. These scattered boxes had become new homes for marine life, witnessing the intertwining fusion of nature and human civilization.

Perhaps they had been salvaged by someone, or perhaps they had been eroded away by the sea.

Nevertheless,

There was still a sense of satisfaction and curiosity fulfilled that filled his heart, and Chen Yun found this quite agreeable.

How many people have the experience of finding a shipwreck and exploring it on their own?

And looking at all this,

Chen Yun thought, could he perhaps start a shipwreck salvage company?

After all, many old online novels depicted it that way, and with so many shipwrecks lying difficult to deal with on the seabed, wouldn’t it be a wasted opportunity if he didn’t take them?

Thinking this way,

Chen Yun couldn’t help but chuckle.

He himself wasn’t that interested in money.

However, he was very interested in the idea of salvaging shipwrecks; just the thought of it gave him the feeling of a treasure hunt reminiscent of his teenage fantasies.

The whole process wouldn’t take much effort; he just needed to remember the location of the shipwreck he came across while exercising on the seabed.

To start a salvage company,

The main reason was that leaving a discovered treasure down there felt odd.

It was as if he was missing a game achievement, which was uncomfortable.

And he didn’t need to do much.

He could just have Xianghe Real Estate Group start a subsidiary and point them to a spot to start the salvage, it didn’t matter whether they found anything or made money.
