The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

Chapter 243 - 162: The Lost National Treasure! (Subscription Request)_2

"What!" he exclaimed.

"Is this something from the time when Yuanming Garden was burned down?"

"I've been to Yuanming Garden, but after I went, you have no idea how heartbreaking it felt. How many of our treasures were destroyed by those damned robbers!"

"Damn it, I wish I could go to their museums and take back those things that were taken from us."

"Right!"

This sentiment resonated with many people.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, especially those who had seen their cultural relics and national treasures in overseas museums. The heartache and gnashing of teeth was palpable.

They really wished they could just smash everything and bring the items back.

It was infuriating, to say the least.

"Despicable."

"I hope that one day... we can take back what belongs to us."

"No, it's when our strength is great enough that they'll send it back to us willingly."

"It's a pity. If only there had been more ships that sank back then."

Everyone still felt a bit of regret that they only found one ship instead of several.

If there had been several, it would mean the looters wouldn't have taken as much and there would be more treasures left for us.

"So, what is the live-streamer going to do about this sunken ship now?"

Some viewers were also looking forward to what would happen next.

"Nonsense, we obviously have to call the police, the relevant departments will have to organize a recovery operation."

After all, who else besides professionals could salvage a sunken ship from the deep sea? It certainly had to be officially handled.

"Then, what are we going to do now, Bro Hao?" the chubby guy asked.

Now that they had found a sunken ship, fishing was definitely off the table for the moment.

"Call the police," he said.

Quickly, they made the call, reported the situation, and made a particular point to mention that this was a ship from the time when Yuanming Garden was burned down.

They emphasized this to get the authorities to take it seriously.

If it had been just an ordinary sunken ship without any need for recovery, would it even make sense to waste so much effort on salvage?

That was highly unlikely.

But a ship from the time of Yuanming Garden's burning was different.

It was of immense value.

No matter the cost, they were ready to undertake recovery efforts.

The treasures lying below were priceless cultural relics, national treasures, none of which could be lost.

As they reported the incident, word quickly spread.

Especially since the ship was from the time of the burning of Yuanming Garden, the significance and importance were markedly different.

"What? A ship from the burning of Yuanming Garden, carrying so many of its relics?"

Some big names in the cultural relics industry were deeply moved upon hearing this news.

The Director of the National Museum and other heavy hitters couldn't contain their excitement and couldn't sleep.

"Let's go to Jinghai, set out immediately."

Jinghai Museum too had received the news of the discovery right away, and they too couldn't sit still.

They could imagine how many people would come.

"A sunken ship from the burning of Yuanming Garden was found in the Eastern Sea? It contains many of Yuanming Garden's artifacts?"

In Hundong Province, Old Han and Old Zhang were also preparing to set off for Jinghai.

Binjiang's thousand-year-old shipwreck salvage had entered the right track; they weren't needed there anymore.

They could now spare the time to come to this place.

Of course, what really got them moving was hearing that Fang Hao was the one who had discovered the ship.

"This kid... never lets you worry less about him."

"But I like it."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could fish up even more relics in the future?"

The two old men started laughing and were quite joyful.

They didn't care about the hardship; they were all too eager to make their way to Jinghai at night, even heading out to the sunken ship salvage site in the Eastern Sea.

...

Within fifteen minutes after they called the police, the coast guard ship arrived.

When they saw the part of the sunken ship Fang Hao had brought up, they were all amazed.

Such a heavy object—how could someone possibly fish that up?

Just this upper structure alone would require... how much strength to pull out.

Goodness, is he even human?

Even though they had already received information about Fang Hao on their way over.

He was a key figure.

Within their internal system, he had already been marked as a special person of Category A for close attention.

"Mr. Fang, thank you for the information," they said.

"Where did you fish up this sunken ship?"

The Coast Guard Ship arrived and first took the time to thoroughly understand the situation.

Then they released a deep-sea sonar detector, lowering it to the ocean floor.

Soon, they discovered a shipwreck in the deep sea.

It was nearly three hundred meters deep where the ship was discovered.

After finding the shipwreck, they didn't immediately retract the detector but instead expanded the

Although they didn't understand the situation, they still welcomed Fang Hao politely.
