Chapter 1643: Let's Find Fault

The John Barry sank to a depth of more than 2,500 meters, but most of the crew were lucky enough to board the lifeboat before the ship sank, and were later rescued by a passing cargo ship.

However, the rescued personnel only knew that in addition to a large number of ordinary military supplies, there were more than 2,000 tons of classified cargo on board, and they did not know the type of goods, and even the captain did not know, so they knew that a single piece was small in size and heavy in weight.

As for the total weight is well estimated, these heavy materials will make the cargo ship obviously in a state of overload, and the crew does not need to look at the bill of supplies to estimate it.

In order to find the wreckage of the "John Barry" as much as possible for the "Deep Diver", the salvage company and the "United Forces" spent a lot of thought in advance, and in order to determine the contents of the cargo, they even asked the relevant people to check the old FBI files that had been sealed for nearly 50 years and have not yet been declassified.

Laws and regulations are like a big sieve and a broken fishing net in the face of money and relationships.

Cold information to check, now the "Deep Diver" still has a crew member who worked on the "John Barry" back then, is a deck sailor, and also served as a crane operator.

The purpose of pulling such a person is to locate the position of the cargo in each compartment of the cargo ship as accurately as possible after finding the wreck.

The location of each cabin can be determined by looking at the drawings of the shipwreck, but the wreck is in a variety of different and strange conditions, and with such a person who participated in the loading and unloading work at the beginning, it should be possible to avoid ineffective labor as much as possible.

The average depth of the Arabian Sea reached 2,734 meters, and according to prior investigations, the location of the wreck was roughly determined to be one hundred and twenty or thirty nautical miles from the coast, where the water depth exceeded 8,000 feet!

At such a depth, the wreckage of the hull is cut by a few meters, and it will waste a lot of time and money!

It was expected that "John Barry" would lie on the seabed at 8,500 feet above the sea, that is, nearly 2,600 meters underwater, not to mention the Hasti salvage operation, and it would take a lot of time to dive once.

Thanks to the history of the lack of sailors due to the massive construction of the Libership and the recruitment of a large number of young people for training, the veteran crew member who escaped the submarine attack became a sailor at the age of 17, and when the "John Barry" sank, he had been at sea for more than two years.

This person is less than 70 years old this year, retired firefighters, and his health is very healthy, but the economic conditions are average, otherwise he would not be able to bear to go to sea with the ship.

If you are more than ten or twenty years older, even if your physical condition allows, you may not have the idea of making a lot of money in the sea again.

This person did not share, but this operation will have a good reward regardless of whether the wreck is found or not, and if the wreck is found, the reward will be doubled, and it will be the salary of a firefighter who worked for several years before retirement.

What can be done is that all the preparations have been made, and it is necessary to have a large exploration and salvage ship with a displacement of 5,500 tons and the most advanced in the world from the east coast of the United States to the Arabian Sea.

Try to avoid the loss of spending a lot of effort to run empty because the preliminary work is not done well, and at present, it seems that the preliminary work is doing very well, at least the busy ship is found.

Zhang Nan is not short of the 2,000 tons of silver, but the salvage company needs it, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to sell it. It is estimated that the price of silver in the past two years has not been strong, but it is not sluggish either, and if there are clues, you can't let it go.

94 years are coming as scheduled, the manor on Long Island on the New Year's Day is not too lively, Zhang Nan will occasionally say the last sentence "The family will be neat and tidy", this time the people are all there, but the atmosphere is a little strange.

It's no wonder that there are ghosts!

It's not the first time we've met, it's a group of women divided into two lines for a meal, and even the eyes are a few colors, plus a group of children on Twitter, it's not ordinary lively!

The women chatted about a lot of topics, a few talked about film and television, who let them be in this line;

There are a few people who talk about children, all of whom are mothers;

There is also talking about the economy, who made the North American Free Trade Agreement officially enter into force today, and it will have some impact on all aspects of American society, and its own market will also be affected. Fortunately, the trade agreement is generally in favor of the United States, and as an American company, the "Sunshine Star" group will reap greater benefits.

Of course, jewelry, travel, and fashion are indispensable in the topic, which almost annoyed Zhang Nan to death!

But it's better to be lively than to be quiet, at least this big family looks quite harmonious, and decided to go skiing in Austria after the New Year, and then see how their castle is built.

During this time, Xiang Weirong returned to China, and Xiang Jiannan also went home with him, waiting for the New Year vacation of the American school to end before returning to New York.

Guan Xingquan also went back to China a few days ago, but soon returned to New York, brought his mother, wife, and mother-in-law to New York, and sent them back to China after the New Year.

On the first day of the new year, the cold snap had just passed, the weather was good, and the people who couldn't stay idle in the manor basically took the "Sunshine Star" to go to the open sea to fish for tuna, and they were not afraid of the cold.

Zhang Nan didn't move, and found Yasuko Sawaguchi and Madehuri Dixit, who were also not interested in going to sea in winter and didn't go out, these two were going back to Los Angeles in a few days, and Zhang Nan had something to say to them.

"Don't run around this month after you arrive in Los Angeles, especially in the second half of the night, for whatever reason, stay at home honestly, I always feel like something is going to happen in Los Angeles this month. ”

Neither Yasuko Sawaguchi nor Madehuri Dixit reacted particularly to men's words, and the Los Angeles riots of the previous year seemed to be imminent, and both of them thought that maybe it was because of this problem.

Both women know the energy of their men in American society, and they can almost prevent these messy things before they happen.

Gotta listen.

Looking at the reactions of the two, Zhang Nan is very satisfied, which is good.

It's just that both of them are wrong, Zhang Nan is not worried about riots and public security problems, it is not a problem if there are security personnel, but a damn earthquake!

There have been many earthquakes on the West Coast of the United States, and in the past few years, the "joint forces" have shown their faces every time.

Zhang Nan knew that there would be another earthquake in Los Angeles in January this year, and the damage would be very heavy, but he didn't know what day it was, only that it was in the second half of the night on a certain day in January, and most people were sleeping when the earthquake happened.

I forgot the magnitude of the earthquake, I only knew that the loss was quite large, and I knew that I could remember it at an approximate time, but it was because of a Chinese Chinese text, which was turned into an Internet celebrity topic in later generations because of the reason of "everyone comes to find fault".

Zhang Nan hadn't read that text, he hadn't read it when he was studying, but he had seen the news about his satire on the Internet.

It is said that some people have found that from childhood to adulthood, generations have been deceived by some texts in Chinese textbooks again and again, and several examples are also cited, such as "Edison Saves Mom" When Edison was 7 years old, his mother suffered from acute appendicitis, and the doctor found that the light was too dim when he operated on it.

Edison was in a hurry and used the principle of mirror reflection to help the doctor complete the operation smoothly.

Then someone went to investigate it and said that the world's first appendicitis surgery was in 1886, when Edison was 40 years old, in other words, this could not have happened to Edison at the age of 7.

Another text, "Father and Son in the Earthquake," tells the story of a father who rushed to his son's school building after the Los Angeles earthquake, but the school was in ruins.

Ignoring the dissuasion of others, the father buried his head in digging for 38 hours, and finally successfully rescued his son and more than a dozen of his son's classmates.

The text of the earthquake rescue was questioned because it had been revised several times, and in the original version, the text began: "The 1989 Great Earthquake in Los Angeles, USA."

However, in 1989, there was no large-scale earthquake in Los Angeles, so in 2004, the beginning of the text was revised to read: "In 1994, a major earthquake occurred in Los Angeles, USA", but it was still questioned.

In 2005, the beginning was changed to "one year", and in 2009 it was changed to "a sudden earthquake".

Very interesting "everyone comes to find fault", a few years after the earthquake in Xichuan Province, Zhang Nan "copied and searched" at that time: it turned out that there was a devastating earthquake in Los Angeles in January 94, and everyone was still asleep, and the house collapsed

However, Zhang Nan is dozens of years old, and he will not believe all the things of the "everyone comes to find faults" type, anyway, he was idle, and spent a few minutes checking on the Internet, and found that the text of "Father and Son in the Earthquake" was originally a fictional short story written by an American.

Foreign fictional texts are not discussed whether they are suitable or not, and the time does not need to be too serious, and it would be better if the source could be indicated.

As for the film "Edison Saves Mom", "Everyone Come to Find Fault" means that the world's first successful appendicitis operation was done in 1886, and those who write this must not know that in France in the 30s of the 18th century, there were military doctors who successfully performed appendicitis surgery, which is the earliest record in the Western world.

The Western world has successfully performed appendix surgery in the 18th century, who can guarantee that the doctor who operated on Edison's mother was not taught by the disciples of the forensic doctor?

As for the East, no matter what the Arab world is, isn't it just appendicitis, Hua Tuo was able to do laparotomy at that time: cut open the abdomen and extract the ulcer accumulation. If the disease is in the stomach and intestines, the stomach and intestines will be cut off, except for the disease, after washing and suturing, the wound will be applied with "divine ointment", and the wound can be closed in four or five days, and it can be completely calmed in about one month.

In ancient China, not only could the abdomen be opened, but also the suture of the intestine and the ligation of blood vessels could be done! At least in the Sui Dynasty, there was this skill, and it was recorded in the "Treatise on the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases" by Dr. Chao Yuanfang, a doctor of the Sui Imperial Physician, that if he was injured by a knife, a gun, a ge, or a spear, if "the intestines are seen at both ends, they can be quickly continued."

The method is: first use the needle wisp as the method, continuously break the intestines, then take the chicken blood, apply it to the edge, do not let the gas vent, that is, push the inside (accept);

For those who have a protruding wound such as mesentery: tie their blood veins with raw silk, and when they are ordered to stay overnight, they can be intercepted, do not close their mouths, and ointment is slightly guided

Who said that Edison couldn't use a mirror to save his mother, what is more true, it is just to guide the creativity of children!

As for why the Chinese surgical technology fell behind later, many of the techniques recorded in ancient books are still lost, and we can only blame the constant wars!

"Everyone comes to find fault" can not be fully believed, some are not too serious, Zuo Si of the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zheng Banqiao of the Qing Dynasty, Lenin of Russia, and Marshal Chen, the founding hero, have all eaten ink in different texts in China, which is not a matter.

But because of that, Zhang Nan remembered that there was going to be an earthquake in Los Angeles in January 94, but he didn't plan to be a god stick, just control his family.

As for the "joint forces" once again exerting their might, when the time comes, the company has a lot of experience in dealing with these.

Solved a small hidden danger, and found Andre, who also brought children to play in the manor today, and the children went to sea, and wanted to ask him how the situation was in the UK.

Zhang Nan is not mean, but he holds grudges!

But before Andre could say this, a call came from Captain Jamie Bostwick.

"Happy New Year, boss. We have good news and bad news. ”

"I said Jamie, today is New Year's, I don't have the heart to play which drama to listen to first, what's the bad news?"

Zhang Nan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

"I'm sorry boss, the good news is that we can basically salvage the silver coins that came out, but there is no way to wreck the ship to deal with the reinforced steel plate structure of the front half of the warehouse, and it needs to be blasted underwater.

But the water depth is 2,590 meters, and we don't have such blasting technology. ”
