Chapter 250: Start Lifting!
Standing in the relatively crowded cabin, the comrades-in-arms who were about to change into diving suits were also summoned by Zhuang Haiyang. It was only at this moment that they knew that they could finally show their skills on this trip to sea and begin to salvage a wreck found by Zhuang Haiyang.
During the previous rest time on Nanshan Island, these comrades-in-arms also trained with Zhuang Haiyang, digging sea mud at a depth of 100 meters or even 200 meters. Compared with training, comrades-in-arms are naturally more willing to carry out practical operations, and have more expectations and a sense of achievement.
It's just that everyone knows that salvaging a shipwreck is a matter of great secrecy and caution. It was only at this moment that Zhuang Haiyang officially announced the news. It is enough to show that Zhuang Haiyang is still very careful about salvaging the sunken ship.
Looking at the group of comrades-in-arms, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Brothers, I believe that without me saying it, you should also know what we will do next." I'm sure you're tired of training on the bottom of the sea.
So tonight, you finally have a chance to show what you can do. It's just that before I go to the sea, I have a few words I want to tell you in advance, and I hope you will keep it in mind. We are all from the army, and I won't say much about the importance of secrecy and discipline.
To put it cheesily, that is to say that wealth is not exposed. The things salvaged from the sunken ship are not allowed to be hidden, discussed, or told to others in private. Only in this way can we go to sea in the future and not be targeted by those who have a heart. ”
"Ocean, don't worry, whoever dares to leak secrets will not be our own brother in the future!"
In the face of Wang Yanming's statement, Zhuang Haiyang also said in a timely manner: "Squad leader, in fact, I asked you not to leak secrets, more out of consideration for your and my own safety." We have the legal qualifications to salvage the wreck, and the leak is only popular at most.
I really can't, and from now on I will focus on fishing, and I will no longer salvage wrecks. But you should all know that the income from salvaging a wreck is definitely higher than fishing. Maybe if you salvage a wreck, you will get enough money to fish for a year.
Again, I invited you here, and I also hope to have wealth and money together. The salvaged items from the wreck will be handed over to the previously registered company for auction or private sale, and a dividend will be paid for each sale.
According to the agreement I reached with the shareholders of the company, you will not own the shares of the company for the time being, but you will enjoy a 10% share of the sales. It's not much, but imagine that if a shipload sells for 10 million, you can get 1 million.
Even I, the major shareholder, gave up 35% of the equity for the purpose of not wanting to participate in terminal sales. Everyone knows that the things salvaged from the wreck are valuable, but the problem is that we don't have the connections and sales channels at all. ”
Although I had told my comrades-in-arms about these things before, my comrades-in-arms didn't take them very seriously. Now that the salvage of the shipwreck is imminent, Zhuang Haiyang would rather make it clear in advance, rather than have comrades-in-arms feel that their efforts are far less than their returns.
After saying these words, Zhuang Haiyang said again: "Old Wu squad leader!"
"Here!"
"Next, I'm afraid we need to bother you, so let's act as our lookout and watch for unknown ships that may appear around us. If so, immediately send a standby diver into the water and inform us who are working underwater.
And Shengjie, you sit in the cockpit and are ready to do my bidding. As soon as I give the order to set sail and leave, then you must get our ship up and running in the shortest possible time, and shake off the strange ship of unknown origin.
Again, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. This is the high seas, and anything can happen. Besides, once you let people know that we're salvaging a shipwreck here, imagine what those people will do?"
"Ocean, rest assured, promise to complete the mission!"
Zhou Shengjie, who was very firm in making a guarantee, didn't say much, and Zhuang Haiyang also said in a timely manner: "Lao Wang, squad leader, Junzi, you two groups will go into the water with me." Pengzi, your group is on standby, and once someone comes up, immediately send someone to take over. ”
"Understood!"
As the leader of the diving team, Qian Yunpeng is also very aware of the salvage operation, and it is best not to stop. Strive to salvage the items on the wreck in one go. Then, before others find out, quickly leave the salvage area.
After everything was explained, Zhuang Haiyang asked the hoister of the salvage ship to move and began to pull the iron basket containing the tools into the water. Other divers will also arrive at the dive area where Zhuang Haiyang is located according to the leash.
To the surprise of their comrades-in-arms, when they arrived at the bottom of the sea, they found that Zhuang Haiyang had already plugged in the lights, pointed to the middle area and said, "Clean up the mud in this area and start working!"
Fortunately, the water level where the wreck is located is not deep, and many comrades-in-arms feel that there is no pressure. Just wearing a heavy wetsuit, the physical exertion will naturally increase when you work. Everyone gathered around the annotation area and began to dig up the silt in the middle.
During the excavation, many comrades-in-arms were curious. Because judging from the performance, they didn't notice any shipwrecks at all. How does Zhuang Haiyang know that there is a shipwreck on the bottom of the sea?
Zhuang Haiyang, who was dug in the middle, quickly planed off the silt that had accumulated on the wreck. Pointing to the exposed plank, he gestured to his comrades-in-arms and said, "See, this is a sunken ship, come on!"
made a refueling action, and a group of comrades-in-arms also saw the hull of the ship that was finally revealed. As the comrades-in-arms began to excavate the silt that covered the wreck, the mud and sand in the marked area were quickly cleaned up, and the area exposed by the wreck continued to expand.
Judging by the exposed hull, it doesn't look like an ancient national shipwreck. And there are some places on the shipwreck that seem to have been attacked. With curiosity, the strength of the comrades-in-arms seems to be inexhaustible.
Only Zhuang Haiyang, every half hour, began to rotate his comrades-in-arms, allowing them to go up and rest for a while. Then change the rested comrades into the water and continue to clean up the silt in the marked area until all the silt covering the wreck is cleared.
Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang looked at the other comrades-in-arms who had finished their work, and once again made a gesture of all the floating. Without saying a word, all the comrades-in-arms surfaced one after another and came to the salvage ship that was always on alert.
Zhuang Haiyang, who was also on the boat, saw Wu Xingcheng and asked, "Did you find anything?"
"No! Until now, no passing ships have been found. In this area, it seems that the fishing boats are not very good. ”
"Okay! Good work! Keep on your vigilance! By the way, wait a minute, let Shengjie take over your vigilance, and bother you to make some supper, so that the brothers can replenish their strength. Looking at the situation, I'm afraid we won't have time to rest tonight. ”
"It's okay! That's what I'm supposed to do!"
After explaining to Wu Xingcheng, Zhuang Haiyang took out a basket of fruits and vegetables from the cabin and said, "Eat some fruits and vegetables to cushion your stomach, and wait until you start to put the basket down." Squad leader, your group will go into the water with me first, and then rotate again. ”
"Good!"
"Junzi, Pengzi, wait for the three of you to rest on the ship, who will be responsible for transporting the salvaged goods from the sunken ship. All salvaged cargo is sent to the sundries compartment. Yes, you have to work in pairs, you know?"
"Understood!"
In doing so, it is also to avoid salvaged goods, which will be carried by comrades-in-arms without permission. Although none of these comrades-in-arms have this idea, if they really want one person to store things, it is inevitable that other people will think about it. After all, some things are not bulky.
Taking advantage of the efforts to replenish his physical strength, Zhuang Haiyang explained cautiously. Then, he was the first to enter the water, pulling the passenger basket hung with a crane and entering the sunken ship that had been cleaned up.
After a period of precipitation, the previously turbid sea water has become much clearer. The comrades-in-arms wearing diving lamps began to follow Zhuang Haiyang's instructions to directly break through the decaying hull and officially start the search for items.
Because the position of the broken hull happened to be the position of the cargo hold of the ship, with the illumination of the diving lamp, the comrades-in-arms quickly saw several large piles of black hard lumps that melted together. Under the illumination of the light, you can faintly see a metallic luster.
Seeing these things, many comrades-in-arms were overjoyed in their hearts: "This should be gold or silver, right?"
Only Zhuang Haiyang was calm, and began to instruct everyone to clean up the pile, and carefully transfer it from the sunken ship to the basket where the goods were placed. Until the first basket was full, Zhuang Haiyang motioned for a comrade to float up.
The reason for this is to notify the people on the boat to start hoisting the items. The comrades-in-arms who were waiting on the boat saw someone surface and made a lifting gesture, and Zhu Junhong, who was staying on the boat, immediately said: "Start lifting!"
The comrades-in-arms who were responsible for operating the lifting equipment also began to press the lifting button. Wang Yanming, who stayed underwater, also saw Zhuang Haiyang let him float with the goods, and then replaced the second batch of personnel.
When the first basket of goods was successfully hoisted onto the deck, just when some comrades-in-arms were about to check it, Zhu Junhong said: "Don't look at it, salvage everything first." The basket was covered with a cloth, and then Tianming and I sent the things back to the utility room. ”
"Good!"
Zhu Junhong, who found a black cloth and directly covered the basket, also resisted the urge to take a few more looks, and returned to the utility room with the basket. After putting it down, he walked out of the cabin with his comrades-in-arms, and just saw Wang Yanming coming up.
"Brothers, this time it's our turn to get into the water. Come on, try to get everything on board before dawn!"
"Okay!
In the face of the first basket of sunken items that were successfully salvaged out of the water, the rest of the comrades seemed to be full of energy. Even if it wasn't clear before, the appearance of the black iron still made the comrades-in-arms feel that it should not be iron.
In addition, there are some round objects with a yellow glow, and if you guess with your heart, you will know that they should be gold coins. Whether they are precious metals or ancient precious metal coins, then their value can be imagined.
If the shipwreck is next, there are many more good things. So this time, the first shipwreck they salvaged will allow all the comrades-in-arms involved in the salvage to share the benefits of the first salvage shipwreck.
With money to be earned, how can these comrades-in-arms who have been from poor families not be excited and continue to work hard?
