One hundred and fifty-six Now you know that you are afraid?
On the clear blue sea, the small fishing boat that Li Huan and several people were riding was carried by the waves, swaying left and right. The South African fisherman who drove the boat was singing a tune that no one could understand, and he was happy now. Usually he doesn't make much money a day from fishing, but soon a group of rich people sold his boat for 10,000 dollars.
$10,000 is enough to buy a new boat!
All he needs to do is pull these rich people back and forth. But don't they have their own big boats, so why would they rent my small boat? I don't understand - but don't understand, anyway, it's 10,000 dollars a month, whatever they do, it's better to stop here for ten years......
After three hours, the dark blue waters began to lighten in color, a sign of reefs and shoals below. After another ten minutes, the two finally arrived at the mobile archaeological platform.
This is a nearly 100-meter-long freighter that is about to be scrapped. However, the longer the ship, the better the wave resistance, and the 100-meter-long freighter will hardly jolt on the current waves. The fishing boat slowed down and slowly approached the freighter, and the waves that were squeezed out between the two boats rushed more than two meters into the air. Just as he was hesitating how to get on the boat, a cable ladder was lowered next to the side of the ship.
"If we tie him up to an iron block and sink him into the sea here, no one should know, right?" Li Huan squinted at Kevin.
"No, I can still help!" Kevin said hurriedly.
Li Huan laughed, Kevin was afraid that Li Huan would really throw him into the sea, so he climbed up with his hands and feet.
He was now completely convinced.
When he came to the maritime archaeological platform, he once thought about making some small moves. The frontal combat effectiveness is not as good as Li Huan and Han Dong, and he has rich battlefield experience. However, the killing god of West Africa seems to be able to see through people's hearts, and every time he wants to make a small move, as long as he looks at it, all his courage disappears. As a result, he took out all the bits and pieces on his body and threw them back, completely giving up the idea of escaping.
Li Huan followed Kevin up the rope ladder, only to find that this so-called archaeological platform was not as advanced as they imagined, at least not as high-tech as in Hollywood movies. On the rusty deck of the cargo ship there was a pile of debris, cables and cables wrapped in a pile. Countless rusts and holes, as well as mottled paint, prove that the freighter is very old.
In the middle of the deck was a makeshift cabin made of white glass, next to which was a distributor with countless cables connected to it, like a spider's web. On the door of the hut hung a few large letters of Underwater Command, and Ida was a foreigner in a diving suit arguing fiercely about something.
Both speak English and speak extremely quickly. Ida didn't notice the two of them getting on the boat, and continued to argue with the man: "You delay time like this, we can't work!"
"That's your business, I only spend three hours a day underwater, that's my job. The man in the wetsuit was unimpressed: "And according to my contract with the South African authorities, my work is over." ”
Ida was furious: "You are irresponsible! It will be the monsoon in a little more than a month!"
"You see, that's none of my business...... I'm going to do what I contracted. The diver shrugged indifferently: "My contract is with the authorities, not you, according to the contract, I only need to work three hours a day, to ...... Well, yesterday the contract expired. ”
"You're deliberately delaying time!" Ida angrily pointed to the small room built on the deck, "Why don't you just open it when you've already found the ballast stone?"
"Open? The diver laughed: "You know how many aquatic creatures live in the wreck, I won't open it until the sonar finds out what is going on inside, and I am responsible for my life!"
"You ......"
The man in the wetsuit sneered, ignoring Ada's pestering, and walked to the side of the boat himself, leisurely sorting out his equipment.
Seeing that the man in the wetsuit was helpless, Ida shook his hand angrily, and just turned his head, he saw Han Dong and Li Huan with a man he had never seen before. Seeing Han Dong Aida pull out a cute smile may be the first thing she should be happy about after being depressed for many days.
"You're finally here!" said Ada, with a reluctant smile on her face, "Who is this?"
"De Beers' mercenaries attacked us on the road and let us arrest us. Han Dong grinned: "You can't kill or let go, just lock it up on the boat, it's good to vent your anger." ”
Upon hearing this, Ida raised her eyebrows and looked at Kevin with a knife-like gaze. Kevin has made Li Huan's spirit rush several times along the way, and now he has completely lost the courage to resist. Forced by Ada's gaze, he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak.
"Forget it, it looks like you've repaired it. Ida sighed, "Hmm...... We were supposed to give you a break and a good meal, but we had freshly caught fish and shrimp on board, and the seafood here was delicious. But we're now in the final sprint, and I'm going to hurry up and get to work...... You're going to take a break?"
"What was there to rest, we slept all day. Li Huan cared about the secret of the black box and asked, "What's the progress now?"
"There is no progress. Ada shook her head.
"Why?" Li Huan was stunned: "Hasn't it been many days?"
Ida sighed and recounted in detail what had just happened.
It turned out that after the South African authorities changed their minds, the divers they sent also began to be passive and slack, even though he could work three hours a day, he only insisted on going into the water for one hour, which slowed down the whole progress. All this was expected, and when the South African authorities reversed themselves, Ida and the others already felt that as long as they could confirm the identity of the ship, it would be considered a success. The ship was carrying important documents on the proceeds of the war, as well as 4.5 tons of gold, jewelry, and diamonds – and Ida were only interested in the preservation and discovery of monuments, which were meant to be handed over to the South African authorities.
In another month, the monsoon season will be in time, and the famous killing wave of Hao Mong Kok can set off waves more than 30 meters high, and by that time, even an aircraft carrier will not be able to pass through, let alone this freighter. When the monsoon season is over, De Beers will definitely steal this place, and the things will go into De Beers's pocket, and the wealth that belongs to the people of South Africa will not be seen again.
Li Huan glanced at the divers on the deck and asked, "Did you find something?"
Ida nodded and led the two Li Huan into a simple room built on the deck.
As soon as I walked into the room, I was full of a sense of science and technology. In a room of less than 30 square meters, there are at least 20 or more display screens displaying various data - underwater sonar imaging images, images transmitted by unmanned probes, underwater environment surveyed and mapped by remote sensing satellites, monitoring signals of biological threat indicators, data connecting satellites up and down, surrounding water surface radar signals, thermal response of sky weather radars, and water dragon proximity defense systems...... There are at least twenty or thirty kinds of things.
On the largest screen in the center, there is a video image of the shipwreck's remains from a fixed perspective.
In fact, there are no obvious traces of the wreckage on the video images, only a stone wall more than 30 meters long and more than 3 meters high can be seen abruptly piled up. This is the biggest discovery a few days ago, a stone wall that is suspected to be ballast stone. If there is a ballast stone, then there must be something underneath the ballast stone!
Li Huan looked at the reefs and gorgeous fish on the bottom of the sea and said, "This kind of passive slacking person, forget about dismissal, I'll come." ”
"It's not that simple......... Ida has a deep worry on her face: "Here, you can't bring scuba into the water, because it's ......"
Before Ida could finish speaking, they were pushed away.
"Because all the scuba with it will be swept away by the current!Is this the diver you found again?" The door to the command room suddenly opened, and the man in the diving suit looked mocking: "Explain in advance, if you want me to recover his body, you must pay me other honorarium." ”
After speaking, he turned his face to look at Li Huan again: "Young man, have you lived enough?"
