Fishermen's live stream: Twelve bodies were retrieved at the start.

"We're better off now."

"With science and satellite navigation, you can go wherever you want."

"I no longer have to be mindful of the Emperor's mood."

"Add one to the comment above; modern society is the eternal god."

"But Mo's reasoning was really cool, I got goosebumps just now."

"This plot is more thrilling than watching a suspense movie!"

Lin Mo looked at the comments and a smile crept onto his face.

He ignored the crew member who suggested going to the Western Sea.

Instead, he turned and walked toward the pieced-together leather nautical chart.

He moved with extreme caution.

Hold the leather edge with your fingers to avoid excessive rubbing.

This thing has been soaked in seawater for hundreds of years. Although it is made of special materials, it cannot withstand much damage.

He folded the nautical chart back up.

They carefully placed the pieces back into the rusty bronze box.

A "click" sound.

He fastened the bronze clasp again.

The crisp sound finally pulled the surrounding crew members back from their frenzied state of mind.

Liangzi was the first to react and quickly took out his phone.

"Brother Mo, can I take a picture to remember this moment?"

"This is a national treasure!"

"Post this on WeChat Moments, and you can brag about it for a lifetime!"

Upon hearing this, the other crew members also took out their phones.

"Yes, yes, I'll take one too."

"If I tell my wife this, she definitely won't believe me."

Lin Mo didn't even raise his head, he just waved his hand casually.

"Take the picture."

"Take as many photos as you want."

"The same goes for the guys in the live stream, if you want to take a screenshot, hurry up and do it."

Instead of stopping him, he stepped aside.

Liangzi held up his phone, frantically pressing the shutter button while wondering what was going on.

"Brother Mo, you're just going to let people take pictures of something this important?"

He lowered his voice and leaned closer mysteriously.

"What if it leaks out and someone else follows the trail to search for the treasure?"

"Didn't we just work for nothing?"

Lin Mo was so angry after hearing this that he laughed.

He patted the lid of the bronze box and looked at Liangzi as if he were an idiot.

"Treasure hunting?"

"Do you think this is the fifteenth century?"

He shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"This picture was indeed priceless back then."

"Having it is like having the key to the unknown seas."

"But in today's world, its practical value is extremely limited."

He pointed to the sky above.

"Today, the entire continent and conventional sea areas have long been thoroughly explored by research ships and satellites."

"Do you really think this centuries-old, shoddy boast can be more accurate than today's BeiDou satellites?"

"The accuracy of modern navigation far surpasses that of these hand-drawn blueprints."

"As long as there are boats and oil."

"Anyone can travel along the ancient Silk Road route on their own."

"No one will stop you, and you will not be subject to any restrictions."

Seeing Liangzi's stunned expression, Lin Mo continued to deliver the final blow.

"Taking this map to sea will only increase the chances of your ship running aground and sinking; it's completely useless."

"Do you really think those red circles are just for fun?"

"Those were death zones that were filled with human lives back then."

Liangzi was speechless after being rebuked and silently put his phone away.

Lin Mo picked up the bronze box and turned to walk towards Lin Siyu, who had been standing to the side.

"Take it."

He shoved the box directly into his sister's arms.

"Lock it in the safe on our ship."

"Only you know the password; no one is allowed to touch it."

Lin Siyu hurriedly caught the heavy box.

She glanced down, and her eyes instantly transformed into the shape of coins.

"elder brother……"

She lowered her voice, rubbing her hands together excitedly, her breathing becoming rapid.

"If this thing were taken to an auction house..."

"The starting price must be at least in the hundreds of millions, right?"

"Let's just sell it and get some money!"

"How many new ships would that take!"

"Then we'll assemble a super fleet and take over this entire sea area!"

Lin Mo glanced at her sideways and poured cold water on her without any mercy.

Don't even think about it.

"This thing must absolutely not be sold."

Lin Siyu's smile vanished instantly.

"Why?"

"Are you keeping them to breed?"

"Keeping it in a safe won't earn interest!"

Lin Mo looked at her, his gaze becoming more serious than ever before.

"What do you know?"

"The value of cultural relics of this caliber for long-term collection far exceeds that of a one-time sale."

"Even if you exchange it for money, money will eventually run out."

"But as long as we still have this thing..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the people on the deck, his voice low.

"In certain key situations in the future, its role will be far beyond what money can measure."

"This is a trump card."

"Do you understand?"

Lin Siyu blinked, seemingly trying to process Lin Mo's words.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh.

"I understand!"

"Bro, you mean this thing is a get-out-of-jail-free card?"

She became more and more excited as she talked.

"If we get into any big trouble or commit any crimes in the future..."

"Just submit this drawing, and you can atone for your mistakes, right?"

Just like in the movies!

After hearing this, Lin Mo almost couldn't resist slapping her on the head.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the speechlessness in his heart.

"You should watch less of those mindless palace dramas!"

"What kind of get-out-of-jail-free card? How could you even come up with that?"

He patiently stared into Lin Siyu's eyes.

"Don't forget, besides the nautical chart, what else is in this box?"

Lin Siyu was stunned for a moment.

"Two pillars that stabilize the sea."

"What's wrong?"

Lin Mo sneered.

"Those two needles were coated with a deadly poison."

"It hasn't failed even after hundreds of years."

"Do you think an average person could handle something like this?"

"The value of this entire set of cultural relics cannot be measured simply in monetary terms."

"It involves historical gaps, as well as the mysterious mastermind behind it."

"The water here is deep enough to drown a person."

He emphasized his words.

"If you just take it out to trade, you won't get a fair price for it."

"It could even trigger a wide-ranging dispute."

"You think those big buyers are pushovers?"

"Don't you understand the principle that 'a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime'?"

"If we really sell it, we'll never have a peaceful life on this ship again."

Lin Siyu shivered.

She instinctively hugged the bronze box in her arms tighter, as if it contained a time bomb.

"Then...then let's lock it up."

She swallowed hard, then turned and ran into the cabin.

"I'll go change the safe's combination right now!"

"I'll fight anyone who dares to touch me!"

The salvage operation has now come to a complete end.

With Lin Mo's command, the entire ship entered a state of rest and repair.

The equipment on the deck was gradually taken down and rinsed clean.

Once the tension that had been building for so long was released, a wave of exhaustion washed over everyone.

The entire crew rested on the ship for a full day.

Especially those crew members who participated in underwater operations.

Da Zhou and the other divers started snoring loudly almost as soon as they touched the bed.

Underwater operations are extremely physically demanding.

In addition, the pressure of the deep sea and the cold water make the damage to the human body comprehensive.

These tough men, who are usually full of energy on the ship, couldn't hold on any longer.

Exhausted, both physically and mentally.

He even eats with his eyes closed, stuffing food into his mouth.
