The foggy shipwreck in the Gulf of Tonkin
Recently, the sea area of the Beibu Gulf has been really lively, why? Because the four shipwrecks suddenly floated on the water, it became a hot topic after everyone's tea and dinner.
China's Maritime Safety Administration, which is an authoritative department, directly posted a navigation warning on its official website on July 12, saying that there are four places in the Beibu Gulf that you should be careful not to bump into any unknown objects. This one, hey, the whole network has exploded.
What are the four points? The official gave the exact coordinates, and it sounded like a high-end atmosphere: 19-11.3N/107-49.85E, 19-18.19N/107-53.90E, 19-21.53N/107-49.84E, and 19-14.20N/107-42.01E. These four points are like four riddles on the sea, waiting for us to solve.
But then again, which way are these four ships in the hands of the gods? Why did it sink to the bottom of the sea? Age? Country of Origin? Cause? A series of question marks, more than the waves on the sea. The official said that it is in full swing to investigate, so let's wait patiently and see. This thing is like the beginning of a suspense drama, and people can't help but want to chase it down.
The conjectures and expectations behind the wreck
In other words, the shipwreck incident in the Beibu Gulf is really more and more predictable. Since the official navigation warning was issued, netizens have opened their brains, and all kinds of conjectures are flying all over the sky. Some say it was an ancient merchant ship, laden with silk porcelain; Some people say that it is the wreckage of a warship, which has witnessed the vicissitudes of history; Others are even more outrageous, saying that it is the wreckage of a spaceship left behind by aliens...... Haha, this imagination is even more exciting than science fiction movies.
But then again, while these conjectures sound interesting, we have to get back to reality. After all, the official has launched a comprehensive investigation, and I believe that more accurate information will come soon. We, the people who eat melons, just wait to watch the big show with peace of mind.
When it comes to the value of this shipwreck, it is truly immeasurable. The first is the value of scientific research. Through the exploration and study of the wreck, we may learn about the navigation technology, trade routes, cultural exchanges and other aspects of the footbasin chicken. This is of great benefit to our understanding of history and the world. If we find a merchant ship full of antiques, how many treasures will there be waiting for us to dig up!
Then there is the educational significance of history. Think about it, if these shipwrecks are really related to an important event in history, then we can use them to tell those little-known stories to future generations? In this way, won't the sense of heaviness and vividness of history come out?
When the children go to school, they may be able to hear stories about these shipwrecks in history class, how interesting it is!
Of course, salvage and conservation work cannot be overlooked. After all, these shipwrecks have been precipitated for decades or even hundreds of years in the footbasin chicken, and once they are salvaged, they will be national treasure-level cultural relics. So we have to be careful with them to make sure that they are not damaged during the salvage process, and that they are properly preserved and displayed. This is not a joke, professional things have to be done by professionals.
As for the conjectures and speculations of netizens, let's take them as after-dinner conversations. After all, the official has not yet given a clear answer, so we still have to keep a normal heart and wait patiently for the moment when the truth is revealed. Maybe when the time comes, we will be able to see the true face of these shipwrecks with our own eyes, how shocking it is!
