As many people know, the Earth's oceans are actually at least twice as large as their land areas. People who live in inland areas all year round have the occasional opportunity to come to the sea, but it is difficult to feel how vast the ocean really is.

Only people like Zhuang Haiyang, who often run on the sea, know how big the ocean really is. But for most people, they are naturally more accustomed to living on land than staying at sea, after all, it is still difficult for people to survive in the sea.

Perhaps it is because of this habit that people who have been on the ship for a long time miss the feeling of stepping on land. It is precisely because of this that Zhuang Haiyang, who has entered the waters under the jurisdiction of his country, will let Wang Yanming find a desert island.

Even if the area of the desert island in front of you is not small, it is impossible for a country with a long coastline to send troops to garrison all the desert islands. On top of that, the desert island in front of you is actually on the high seas.

This means that anyone can go to this desert island, but if you want to occupy it, it will definitely not work. Although it is rare to come to such a far sea, the crew of the ship feels that this is the island of their own country.

As the security team took the lead in landing on the island in a lifeboat, carefully inspected it, and after confirming that there was no problem, Hong Wei also said in a timely manner: "The ocean has been checked, although there are traces left on the island, it is not found that there is any problem." ”

"Roger, we'll be here soon! Prepare yourself, find a suitable place, and camp on the island for the night. ”

"Understood!"

Staying on a desert island overnight is naturally no problem for Hong Wei and others. In fact, even when they were in the army before, they often conducted relevant training. Island hopping also requires training!

Knowing that the desert island was safe, everyone who had been waiting for a long time also began to carefully put the prepared camping items on the lifeboat. The lifeboats that had been driven away by the security team had also begun to return to pick up people and goods.

Equipped with lifeboats, it is also to ensure that the crew has a chance to escape if there is a problem with the fishing boat. Compared to a lifebuoy, a lifeboat is undoubtedly safer. On top of that, most of the lifeboats are motorboats and don't take up much space.

In the end, Zhuang Haiyang said with a smile: "You take a boat, I can just swim over." Alternatively, I take a look around the area to see if I can catch some fresh ingredients. You prefer fresh food to frozen food, right?"

"That's natural! Although I'm tired of eating seafood, the seafood on the barbecue still tastes good. Lobster, abalone or something, you can get a little more. Now, we don't dislike it!"

", I'm a god, how can there be wild abalone in this place, lobsters, then you can give it a try. Don't worry, I'll try to make some good grilling for you to eat. ”

At this time, Zhuang Haiyang doesn't mind these comrades-in-arms serving them. Many times, these comrades-in-arms also know that this titular boss has no arrogance. Getting along in private is actually no different from being in the army.

Looking at Zhuang Haiyang, who jumped into the sea and began to search for ingredients, the others didn't feel anything to worry about. Even the Antarctic Sea can't stop the Zhuang Ocean, let alone the current tropical seas?

As the captain of the ship, Wang Yanming still arranges for people to drop anchor and be on duty at night. Considering the safety of fishing vessels, personnel should still be on duty on board at night. Even on the island, there is still a vigil.

The simple reason for this is that you don't want anything to happen at night. On the high seas, it's not a bad thing to be cautious. If something really happens, it's too late to regret it!

Zhuang Haiyang, who dived into the sea, still had a lot of nets tied to his body. While searching the nearby situation, Zhuang Haiyang focused more on searching for ingredients. For example, squid for barbecue, and other seafood suitable for barbecue.

After a few net pockets were almost filled, Zhuang Haiyang finally appeared on the beach side of the desert island. The place where Hong Wei and others chose to camp is also located on the border of the beach and bushes, and several camouflage tents have been set up.

In order to avoid the possibility of rain at night, drainage ditches were even dug near the tents. For these non-commissioned officers who have retired from the Navy, camping on desert islands and even surviving in the wilderness are training subjects that they are very familiar with.

Seeing Zhuang Haiyang, who got up from the sea and carried a few big nets, and the people who were busy on the beach, they also hurriedly said: "Hold a grass, this guy really didn't say anything about the ocean." How long has it been since you've found so much seafood?"

"What are you doing stupidly? Why don't you hurry over and help! This bit of seafood is probably not enough to eat!"

was scolded by Zhuang Haiyang with a smile, and the nearest comrades-in-arms hurriedly rushed over. From Zhuang Haiyang's hands, he took over the seafood he had just caught. Seeing the contents of the net, everyone also praised them.

Especially when they saw the squid in a net, many comrades-in-arms smiled and said: "You kid is really good! You can even catch squid, this thing is the strongest to eat! It seems that you can really have a good meal at night." ”

"Alright, find something to raise these ingredients, and then you can arrange for someone to deal with them. Those large conch snails, if used for barbecue, should taste good. If you can't bake it, let Lao Wu do it himself. ”

"No problem! Such a big conch is really charcoal-grilled and tastes the most delicious. However, it still needs to be processed before baking. Okay, I'll take care of that, and you can help you slaughter these sea fish. ”

As the head chef of the team, Wu Xingcheng naturally has the most say in terms of eating. Recently, my comrades-in-arms are still a little picky. He also hopes that he will take this opportunity to let his comrades-in-arms have a good time.

In the words of the troops, only when you have eaten well and eaten enough can you have the strength to work!

Seeing that everyone has a clear division of labor, they basically don't have to worry about anything. Zhuang Haiyang, who was carrying an empty net, soon returned to the sea and continued his search journey. Searching around the desert island, you still find a lot of seafood to eat.

After all, this is the high seas waters, and there is still a lot of seafood. It's just that Zhuang Haiyang is more picky, and more often than not, he only picks good ones. Ordinary seafood, he is not interested in it at all, he believes that other comrades-in-arms are the same.

In the words of these comrades-in-arms, their mouths were kept on the ship. How can ordinary seafood be of interest?

It's just that Zhuang Haiyang was a little surprised that he was just looking for some edible seafood. As a result, on the seabed near the desert island, I saw a sunken ancient shipwreck. To be exact, it should be an ancient battleship.

Through spiritual power, look at this ancient warship that is almost buried in the mud at the bottom of the sea. Zhuang Haiyang, who had accumulated a lot of knowledge of shipwrecks, quickly recognized this kind of gunboat, which should be a foreign gunboat in the late Ming Dynasty.

If it is a gunboat sunk in battle, it naturally has little value to salvage. A few ancient bronze cannons are meaningless in Zhuang Haiyang's opinion. The reason is that there are several ancient copper cannons in Dinghaizhu.

Even if it is shipped back to China for auction, it will not actually be auctioned for any price. Of course, because it is a copper cannon, it is more or less valuable than an iron cannon or a steel cannon. Not to mention anything else, if you melt it and sell it as copper, you can sell it for a lot of money!

What really surprised Zhuang Haiyang was that the sunken gunboat was also loaded with a lot of gold and silver coins and gold and silver utensils. This precious metal is naturally more valuable. Come to think of it, this is also a colonial treasure ship.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "This is really unintentionally inserted into the willows and willows! It seems that these guys have no rest at night." Fortunately, there are not many things in this shipwreck, and with so many people working hard, it should be able to be done in a few hours. ”

Calculate the depth of the water level, and it is about 100 meters. Judging from the degree of damage to the battleship, Zhuang Haiyang felt that this treasure ship should not have experienced a battle. More often than not, it should be that the bottom of the ship is damaged and flooded due to a rocking.

Maybe the treasure ship saw that there was a desert island here, and planned to come to the desert island to take refuge. Unexpectedly, the ship sank a little fast. Or, when the treasure ship sank, it was likely to encounter extremely bad sea conditions.

After taking a turn in the nearby sea area before, Zhuang Haiyang still saw several relatively large submarine reefs. Although this is an open sea route, there are not many ships that actually pass through this route.

On top of that, the reefs are actually marked. As long as the ship has a navigation system and can get early warning, the passing ship will not find death and deliberately run aground. Perhaps because of this, the wreck was not found.

After confirming the direction, Zhuang Haiyang continued to catch those seafoods. After returning to the island, Zhuang Haiyang called Wu Xingcheng and said, "Old Wu, I'm afraid that I will have to work hard for you to cook." Others, another job!"

"What's the situation?"

"Good thing! When things are done, let them come over for a celebration feast, I believe their appetite will be better. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Xingcheng's eyes lit up and said, "Is there a discovery nearby?"

"Well, I really bothered to look for this way back, but I didn't find anything. Now I want to take a break, but I find out. What exactly is on board is not known for the time being, but the location is suitable for salvage. ”

"Okay, that's a good thing, just go and get busy, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

Knowing that he had found a wreck suitable for salvage and was a part of the dividends, Wu Xingcheng was naturally happy. He is already planning to marry his girlfriend and even have children, but he still hopes to save a little more money!

And most importantly, according to the results of his consultations with his girlfriend. After the two get married, the girlfriend will also choose to give up her job and find a job directly in a travel company or on the island.

There is really no suitable job, so she will be an accompanying family member and concentrate on making people with Wu Xingcheng. After all, the two have been talking for four or five years, and the age is not young, and the parents of both families are urging the two to have a child as soon as possible!

After arranging the camping and barbecue work, Zhuang Haiyang called Hong Wei and Wang Yanming together and said: "Assemble the team and prepare to return to the ship! If you're lucky, you might be able to make a lot of money this time!"

"What! have you found again?"

"Well, I have to say, I'm really lucky. Originally, I just wanted to find something delicious for you, but I didn't expect an unexpected gain. Without further ado, let the brothers take a speedboat back to the ship, the location is not too far from the desert island. ”

"Okay! I'll gather my team and get back to the ship at once. ”

As soon as they heard that there was a task, the people who were helping to build the campsite quickly gathered. Knowing that Zhuang Haiyang found a shipwreck nearby, everyone instantly became excited. It is more interesting to make money by salvaging shipwrecks than camping.

Especially for the new crew members, they learned from the veteran team members that the dividends that can be shared by salvaging the wreck are far more than fishing. Who wants to miss out on something that can make a lot of money?

As the first crew returned to the ship, they began to help recover the anchors. The fishing boat, which had already been shut down, was also started again. After the follow-up crew returned to the ship, they also began to wear the corresponding diving equipment according to the instructions of Zhu Junhong and others.

Before putting on diving gear, it is natural to move your body first. Fortunately, listening to Zhuang Haiyang's introduction, the sea area where the sunken ship sank was only about 100 meters. At this depth, there is no problem for all dive salvage personnel.

Dangzhuang Haiyang commanded the fishing boat and reached the sea above the wreck. Returning to Zhuang Haiyang on the deck, he immediately said: "The old rule, I will go to the sea first, wait for the next group to come down to clean up the silt first, and the next two groups will be ready." ”

"Understood!"

"Prepare all the baskets, as long as the luck is not too bad, a shipwreck can catch something up anyway. ”

"Okay, we'll take care of that!"

After explaining, Zhuang Haiyang, as before, directly pulled the sling and began to slowly sink to the bottom of the sea. Subsequent divers can accurately find the location of the wreck and Zhuang Haiyang directly by following the sling.

After arranging the underwater lights, Zhuang Haiyang began to use spells to clean up the thicker silt on the sunken ship. This is also done to reduce the dredging workload of comrades-in-arms. Otherwise, it would take a long time to clean up the sludge.

With the help of the intercom, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Junzi, did you receive it?"

"Roger!"

"Start going into the water! You guys, just come down with dredging equipment. ”

"Understood!"

Zhu Junhong, who received the order, immediately ordered a group of diving team members to start preparing to enter the water. When a diver turned over and dived into the sea, the divers turned on the searchlights overhead and quickly followed the sling to the wreck.

Looking at the shipwreck, which was mostly buried by silt, everyone was also very excited: "This ship looks like the tonnage is not small!"

"It's okay! It looks like it's not an iron-hulled ship, and it shouldn't be a short age. ”

There are many shipwrecks salvaged, and these comrades-in-arms also know that the wooden hull shipwrecks are even older. Iron-hulled shipwrecks are shorter in age and have a lower chance of salvaging good things. Of course, this is not absolute.

If the iron-hulled ship that transports the treasure can be salvaged, the harvest will undoubtedly be great. It's just that this kind of treasure ship, once lost or shipwrecked at sea, most of them will leave traces and become the target of salvage ships in various countries.

As the dredging work began, many comrades-in-arms felt a chill in their hearts when they looked at the copper artillery that exposed the surface of the silt. In their opinion, compared to this kind of warship, the probability of salvaging good things from civilian ancient shipwrecks is higher!
