Chapter 78

Ye Yuan was brought to this unknown sea by Da Bai and Xiao Sha. Looking around, he saw nothing but an endless expanse of sea, with no islands in sight.

At least within a dozen kilometers, there were no islands.

Do not underestimate the estimated distance; this is based on certain scientific principles. Generally, a person standing on the sea surface can see up to about 5 kilometers away, a distance calculated based on human height.

This is because the Blue Star is a sphere, so the farthest point on the horizon is the tangent line from your viewpoint to the Blue Star.

The point of tangency is connected to the center of the Earth, forming a right angle with the tangent line. Thus, the center of the Earth, the point of tangency, and your eyes form a right-angled triangle.

The distance from your eyes to the farthest point you can see is one of the right-angle sides. For a person with an average height, the distance from the eyes to the sea surface is about 1.7 meters.

Based on the radius of the Blue Star being 6,378 kilometers,

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the distance a person can see is approximately 5 kilometers. Of course, this is a rough estimate, as everyone's height and vision differ, but the overall distance won't vary much.

There's an old saying in Huaguo: "The higher you stand, the farther you can see." This is scientifically sound.

Xiao Sha slowly stopped in this sea, taking Ye Yuan down to the seabed.

Ye Yuan thought, it seems these two guys want to bring me to the seabed here. Could there be something they are interested in?

"Please don't let it be a few fish you like to eat. If that's the case, just wait and see what I'll do to you."

Ye Yuan thought this, but his body followed Xiao Sha and Da Bai down to the seabed.

After descending nearly 200 meters, they reached the seabed.

The seabed mud here was dark brown, and it was already very difficult to see clearly with the naked eye. He could only activate his perception to observe the situation.

"Hmm?" In Ye Yuan's perception, an ancient wooden ship was embedded in the seabed at a 45-degree angle.

Perhaps due to the long passage of time, most of the ship's body was covered by the seabed mud, with only a small part of the stern exposed.

The moment he saw the ship, Ye Yuan's heart raced. Although he had discovered treasures in the sea many times, this was the first time he encountered a shipwreck.

"Finally found it, the long-awaited shipwreck is finally found."

At this moment, Ye Yuan was shouting in his heart.

Ye Yuan immediately used his perception to search the shipwreck, hoping to find some treasures.

However, the search results were quite disappointing.

Apart from some skeletons and rusted weapons, he found only some broken plates and bowls in one of the cabins. There was nothing else.

Ye Yuan was not discouraged and continued to search carefully with his perception.

Surprisingly, he found some broken silver and copper coins in a few cabins.

However, the amount was very small, and the broken silver had turned black. If not for his powerful perception, he wouldn't have been able to identify it as silver.

Ye Yuan was somewhat disappointed. After discovering a shipwreck, he didn't expect to find only things of little value.

But after some thought, he felt relieved. This was a warship, and who would carry so much gold and silver when going to sea for battle?

Ye Yuan did not intend to let go of the items in the shipwreck. Although the plates and bowls were not valuable at the time, who knew how old this shipwreck was? If it was from a long time ago, perhaps the broken porcelain might be valuable.

However, he couldn't search the shipwreck alone. Although his perception was strong, the shipwreck was deeply buried in the seabed mud.

His perception could not thoroughly search the area, and there might be some places he couldn't perceive.

Ye Yuan first returned to the surface and released several robots from his spatial storage. Each robot carried some simple tools, and he gave them instructions for the task.

This was the advantage of storing robots in spatial storage.

If the robots were on the island, he would have to return, which would be very inconvenient.

Ye Yuan led the robots back to the shipwreck, and they began to clear the seabed mud from the ship.

Ye Yuan searched the seabed mud alone, looking for things he thought might be valuable.

After two hours of continuous clearing, the seabed mud inside the ship was almost completely removed. Ye Yuan collected some broken silver, porcelain fragments, and copper coins, which he stored in his spatial storage.

Just when Ye Yuan had no hope, his perception detected a sealed cabin that he hadn't noticed before. The cabin doors were covered by the seabed mud, preventing his perception from penetrating. Now that the mud was cleared, his perception could enter.

The scene inside the cabin appeared in Ye Yuan's mind.

In the middle of the cabin were two large wooden chests, sealed with wax and waterproofed, with seals attached.

There were two skeletons next to the chests.

One skeleton held a piece of animal skin, covered in traditional Chinese characters. Ye Yuan was not very familiar with traditional characters and couldn't immediately understand what it said.

These details were not important; what mattered was that the chests contained treasures, which was what Ye Yuan was most concerned about.

Ye Yuan quickly approached the cabin and used all his strength to break the door. As he opened the door, a large squid darted out from the cabin, startling him.

Out of reflex, Ye Yuan immediately stored the squid in his spatial storage, turning it into points.

He blamed himself for being too excited and not thoroughly perceiving the squid inside. He also blamed the squid for its bad luck for scaring him.

Ye Yuan quickly entered the cabin and did not open the chests there. He stored the two large chests in his spatial storage and took the animal skin from the skeleton's hand.

After doing this, he used his perception to check every corner of the shipwreck. Finding nothing, he recalled the robots and returned to the surface alone.

Xiao Sha and Da Bai stayed by Ye Yuan's side throughout. After he returned to the surface, the two little guys circled around him, like children waiting for praise after doing something good.

Ye Yuan patted their heads with both hands.

"Good job, I'll give you extra meals. In the future, we need to find more such shipwrecks."

He then took out two large bowls of spatial lake water from his storage and fed them to the two.

Ye Yuan now knew that the spatial lake water was irresistibly tempting to any creature.

The two little guys greedily drank the lake water, their expressions incredibly cute.

On the way there, Xiao Sha had led Ye Yuan, but on the way back, it was Da Bai.

After a long swim, they finally returned to Fish Bay Island. On the way back, Ye Yuan mentally noted the direction, planning to return and explore the area again, as there might be more shipwrecks.

Back home, Ye Yuan hurried to his study.

First, he took out the animal skin.

He turned on his computer and translated the content on the skin by comparing it with traditional Chinese characters found online.

As time passed, Ye Yuan gradually understood the content on the skin.

Although much of the writing was blurred due to the passage of time, the general meaning was still translated by Ye Yuan.
