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

    Qin Shiou lay on the deck, picked up his mobile phone and took a few pictures and uploaded them to QQ space.

    It is ten o'clock in the morning. Newfoundland is in the West Fourth District and Beijing is in the East Eighth District. There is about ten and a half hours difference between the two sides. For China, it is now eleven thirty at night.

    ? Eleven o¡¯clock and twelve o¡¯clock are the prime time for urban night owls to be active. QQ groups at this time of day are also more lively. Qin Shiou came out to say hello, and a group of classmates caught him and asked him to go back home to treat him to dinner.

    "Fight the local tyrants."

    "Beasts don't have loyalty anymore. When he was in college, he would ask me to make a skewer every time he earned 200 yuan. Now that he is worth tens of billions, grandma has disappeared."

    "Chicory, when will you come back and improve my food?"

    "Eat, eat, eat, you must eat, as long as you can eat, it doesn't matter!"

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

    This was an unknown caller. After answering the call, he first asked: "Who are you?"

    A steady voice came from the microphone: "Hello, Mr. Qin? I am Billy Stermer from Odyssey Ocean Exploration Company. I saw you posted a post on the Wreck House Forum asking about the Fernandez family.  Dunkleosteus sunken ship, may I ask, did you discover this sunken ship?"

    Hearing the keyword "Deng's Fish Number", Qin Shiou became vigilant and said, "How did you get my phone number?"

    Registration at Wreck House requires verification of mobile phone information, but the forum guarantees the confidentiality of mobile phone information. Obviously, they did not do this, otherwise Billy Stermer would not have his phone number.

    Billy obviously guessed what he was thinking, and explained: "I also have an identity, as the moderator of the forum, so I can check the information you left, and then I took the liberty to make this call to 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 ancient notebook with records about the Dunkleosteus. I am more interested in it, so I want to consult  Wait, do you have relevant information?"

    Hearing what he said, Billy's voice became a little excited and said: "Do you have any information about the location of the Dunkleosteus sunken ship in your notebook? According to our investigation, this ship was carrying 500 tons when it sank.  of silver, if we could salvage it, man, we could be billionaires.¡±

    "What, five hundred tons of silver?" Qin Shiou said in shock. He blinked. Damn it, it's obviously one hundred tons. Is there any silver in other places on the ship?

    "Yes, five hundred tons of silver. This ship departed from the port of Algecira in 1781, loaded with five hundred tons of silver, bound for Boston, and then transported to New York."

    ¡°This batch of silver was the military expenditure lent by the Spanish government to the Washington government at that time to fight against the niang British guys and help the then immature United States of America win the War of Independence.¡±

    "As a result, there was a problem with the ship's course. When we last contacted it, we found that it had lost its way at sea and crossed the 45th parallel of north latitude. After that, the ship never appeared again and was listed  Joined the ranks of shipwrecks.¡±

    Billy obviously sincerely thought about Qin Shiou joining forces to salvage the Dunkleosteus, and told some background information.

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

    So, what about the remaining 400 tons of silver?

    Qin Shiou was puzzled, so he threw the question mark to Billy and said, "According to the notebook, man, the Dunkleosteus clearly only has one hundred tons of silver."

    Billy over there fell silent. Qin Shiou thought he had hung up the phone, but then the voice rang again, this time much angrier, saying: "If that's the case, then it proves one thing, damn, legend  It¡¯s true, those bastards in Spain tricked the northern American government at that time!¡±

    Qin Shiou was even more confused. What is this?Huh?

    Billy quickly asked: "Qin, are you in Newfoundland? I am an American and now live in California. If possible, I would like to contact you and take a look at your notebook, because it may be related to  An old case between two countries!¡±

    "What old case?" Qin Shiou's raging fire of gossip started to burn.

    Billy explained: ¡°I don¡¯t know if you know that our War of Independence was not an independent victory over the British. At that time, we received support from France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and other countries.¡±

    ¡°At that time, Washington¡¯s Northern Army was completely destitute, and these countries all provided assistance to varying degrees, including 500 tons of silver aid from Spain, although the silver was lent to the U.S. government in the form of loans.¡±

    "However, this batch of supplies, which was 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, it signed many unfair terms in this loan transaction."

    ¡°One of them is that if the silver leaves Spanish waters, the Spanish government will not be responsible for its safety. Whether the money is lost or stolen by pirates, the American government will have to foot the bill.¡±

    "As a result, this batch of silver was not delivered to American soil 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 paying back the arrears of 500 tons of silver."

    "There has always been a rumor about this matter. Rumor has it that this transaction was a conspiracy by the Spanish. They deceived the U.S. government. There was only one hundred tons of silver on the ship, and the rest were 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 a fact!"

    Billy should be a patriot. When explaining this old case, he became very angry. Words such as 'fuck', 'son of a bastard' and 'shit' came up in endlessly.

    Qin Shiou doesn¡¯t want to get involved in this so-called public case between the two countries. What good does it do to him?

    ¡°Besides, he was just talking nonsense about the notebook. The notebook was almost soaked. How can I still read the words on it clearly?

    So, he apologized and rejected Billy's request. Please, he is just a fisherman now and 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 already noisy. The topic was that he was too pretentious now and actually appeared and disappeared. Zhong Dajun kept shouting that he was scared away by the topic of treating guests to dinner.

    Qin Shiou had to clear his name: "Go away, I just answered the phone, I'm not here and you are upset! Isn't it just a treat for a meal? The question is how do I treat you? You are spreading all over the world, gathering in the capital.  Can¡¯t get together!¡±

    "You can buy a plane and fly together. Anyway, you are a fool now." Mao Weilong made a smirk.

    When it came to buying a plane, Qin Shiou was really moved. He really needed a plane.  (A great pie-in-the-sky event, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
