248 subsea containers
The helicopter soon landed on the freighter, and a group of people were already waiting on the deck, led by a bearded captain dressed as a captain, of medium stature, with a good countenance, two long eyebrows on his thin face, slightly sharp eyes, followed by a group of sailors.
The other group of people were all dressed as scholars, led by a man in his fifties with a beard slightly upturned, which made people feel a calm majesty at any time, followed by a group of young men and women in their twenties and thirties.
The young men and women were different from the silent sailors, and they were all talking.
"I heard that another expert was sent from above this time. A young man in his twenties said.
"Humph!"
A young man in his thirties next to him said disdainfully: "The people above are also doing the same. There is already our professor in charge of the ship, and things are in order, so why send an outsider. This is clearly here to pick fruits!"
"Fruit picking?"
"Yes, I guess it's good, maybe it's a related household of the person above. Seeing that our research is yielding results, wait for us to publish an academic paper, and then force him to add his own name to gild and share the fruits of our labor!"
When the young man said this, the group of young women all showed righteous indignation.
"Pony, shut up!"
Professor Fang, who was in the eight-character beard, turned around and said, "Don't slander the experts sent from above, the people who can be sent to perform the task are naturally really talented and learned!"
The young man pony pouted his lips and replied "yes" when he heard his mentor shout, but he didn't think so.
Steward Ye took Chen Xiu down from the helicopter, and the bearded captain greeted him first, followed by Professor Fang.
"Mr. Ye, I am Captain Long Zhi of the 'Taiping', and I am waiting for Mr. Ye's visit. ”
Steward Ye's gaze surveyed everyone, and when his eyes swept over Professor Fang, he paused slightly, because he and Professor Fang were also old acquaintances, and Professor Fang and his students were also sent to the ship by Steward Ye.
"Captain Long Zhi and Professor Fang, it's been a long time!" Steward Ye nodded slightly.
"This is the new expert this time - Mr. Chen Xiu!"
Steward Fang introduced Chen Xiu to everyone, and deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "expert".
Professor Fang didn't understand the deep meaning, but Captain Long Zhi understood the meaning, and thought to himself: "This Chen Xiu is so young, he may not have any real talent, right?
Naturally, the students of Professor Fang had the same thoughts as Captain Long Zhi, especially the pony, who whispered to his companions, "Look, I'm right. It is estimated that such a young person has not even graduated from college, and he claims to be an expert! He is here to pick fruits, am I right?"
"This is Captain Longzhi......"
"This is Professor Fang Shaogong from the Department of Archaeology of Lingnan University!"
Steward Ye introduced the captain and professor to Chen Xiu one by one.
Chen Xiu stepped forward, shook hands with the two of them in turn, and said softly: "New arrival, take care of me!"
"This Chen Xiu doesn't look like the arrogance of the general second generation. If he doesn't come to the ship to make trouble, I'll turn a blind eye. Long Zhi thought to himself after shaking hands.
However, Professor Fang didn't have much thought, although he was also surprised by Chen Xiu's youth, but he reported to the above that he asked to send more experts who were proficient in the Chinese characters of many countries before Qin, oracle bone inscriptions, and golden inscriptions.
"Okay, I've got it, expert. I'm done, and it's time to go home. Steward Ye said with a smile.
"Mr. Ye just got on the boat, why don't you go in and sit down. Long Zhiliu said: "We haven't had a good drink for a long time!"
Steward Ye said apologetically: "I am on official business, next time you go back to Huadu, I will invite you!"
......
Steward Ye came and went quickly, so he left Chen Xiu on the boat and flew away by himself.
Long Zhi was enthusiastic about Chen Xiu, and personally took Chen Xiu to familiarize himself with the environment on the ship, and Professor Fang also accompanied him.
This 10,000-ton cargo ship is very well equipped, with restaurants, gyms, simple movie rooms, and everything else that a community should have.
"Mr. Chen, this is where we work from now on!"
In the end, Long Zhi and Professor Fang took Chen Xiu to a hall the size of three basketball courts, surrounded by many bowls, plates, vases, coins, and so on that had not been cleaned up.
However, Chen Xiu was suddenly attracted by a sand table placed in the middle.
"What is this?"
Professor Fang pointed to a model of a shipwreck in the sand table and said, "This is the model of the shipwreck currently under my seabed, and the models of the three ships on it are our three freighters." ”
Chen Xiu pointed to the model of the sunken ship and asked, "How big is this ship?"
"It is 44 zhang 4 feet long and 18 zhang wide, which is equivalent to 151.18 meters in length and 61.6 meters in width. ”
"So big!"
Chen Xiu was really taken aback, according to this size, it is almost the same as the small destroyers of modern ships, you know, the ships of the Ming Dynasty were wooden ships, and this manufacturing process is much more difficult!
Chen Xiu carefully observed the model for a while, then pointed to the cover next to the wreck and asked, "What is this?"
"Phew!"
Before Professor Fang could speak, the pony behind him burst out laughing and muttered, "Guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to ......."
Professor Fang turned his head and glared at the pony, so frightened that he quickly shut up.
However, Chen Xiu's face was flushed.
'Lying down, it is really a literati who is light. This Chen Xiu is too young, it seems that Professor Fang's students are not convinced that he came to pick fruits! They are making trouble, but don't start a fight. I'm all a bunch of big bosses, and it's not easy to discipline these intellectuals!'
Long Zhi didn't want Chen Xiu to be too ugly, so he smiled and said, "It's understandable that Mr. Chen didn't know when he first boarded the ship.
In this salvage mission, we plan to salvage the entire wreck as a whole, intact.
We will build a 'box' with reinforced concrete around the wreck under the seabed to seal the whole wreck, and then pump all the water in the box outlet, and then use three freighters to lift the box containing the wreckage from the bottom of the sea and pull it back to Guangfu together!"
