One hundred and fifty-eight shipwrecks
With Li Huan's participation, a tense underwater adventure has become an entertainment-like show. After catching ten large lobsters, he also realized that his goal was wrong, and after diving back to the bottom, he followed the fixed rope for clues. This is a circular coral reef, because all kinds of corals have grown and died here for millions of years, and the coral carcasses are encircled in this circular belt, rubbing against each other, and breaking into a place of colorful sand. Illuminated by the sun, it is full of colors.
Li Huan is underwater, no different from a submersible at all.
Ultra-high flexibility, long battery life......
On the way to Ballast Stone, Li Huan did not forget to record that on the colorful underwater beach, in addition to all kinds of colorful and beautiful tropical fish, there are large groupers and small seahorses that can only be seen on TV. The outer part of the Cape of Good Hope is almost never approached by fishing boats because of the churning waves, and although the 10,000-ton giant ship is not afraid of wind and waves, the channel here is too shallow to pass here, resulting in this time becoming a biological paradise, the seabed resources are surprisingly rich, and the variety of corals and a wide variety of tropical fish is dazzling.
Xiao Fei's sub-machine began filming from the shore, and the recorded information will be directly transmitted back to China, for his studio, even if he can't find the wreck, it's not a big problem, whether he can find the treasure is not a key issue, as a documentary, Li Huan's wonderful presentation is enough.
However, for Li Huan himself, the shipwreck is related to the secret of the black box......
It didn't take long for Li Huan to swim to the ballast stone wall.
The first thing to determine is whether this is ballast or not.
Li Huan pulled out the survival knife and inserted a piece that had been covered with coral and barnacles, and used the survival knife as a crowbar.
The survival knife was sharp and hard, Li Huan had a lot of strength, and after a few shakes, a ballast stone had already allowed him to pry it off. In the shot, large swaths of coral and barnacle plants are pried down, revealing round, head-sized ballast stones. In order not to be misunderstood, the first piece was pried open, and Li Huan walked along the stone wall to face forward, priing open one every few meters, and in the end, all the stones were round.
"It's really ballast!"
"Champagne! Where's the champagne?"
"Oh my God, thirty meters of ballast, this is a sail battleship!"
"You can come up and rest first, and now that we have found evidence, we can take a rest first. Ida excitedly used the walkie-talkie to inform Li Huan: "You are our greatest hero!"
A few minutes later, looking at Li Huan, who had already boarded the boat, Cliveman's face was cloudy.
Cliveman is really stupid, let alone have seen it, and I have never heard of such a dive.
......
Twenty minutes later, when Li Huan went into the water again, he brought a high-pressure water dragon with him.
This is a high-pressure water pipe drawn from the water cage defense system on the side of the ship and can be used to clean up the floating sand under the water. Underwater excavation is different from land, surrounded by flowing sand, with shovels, tired human feces can not clear big pits, with the help of the power of the current, blowing out the things buried under the sand, this is the standard behavior of underwater excavation.
Because this time the assignment took longer, he said that he deliberately adjusted his breathing, breathing at the slowest speed, taking one breath every thirty seconds, and the necklace oxygen cylinder was enough to supply the minimum oxygen consumption for two hours.
In the underwater surveillance screen, Li Huan pulled a long water dragon to blow up the floating sand for three minutes...... Five minutes...... Ten minutes...... Every ten minutes he would come up to adjust his breathing, and after half an hour, the wreckage at the bottom of the sea had been blown out by the high-pressure water dragon. He did the work that the whole team didn't do in a week in half an hour.
Li Huan's diving time is indeed amazing - everyone has gone from worrying at the beginning to admiring later, and now they are numb. Some NGO staff who followed Li Huan's signal to adjust the water pressure saw Cliveman when they passed by the side of the ship, and their eyes were full of contempt. A few days ago, this SEAL 6 diver was still a big cow in everyone's mind, and now looking at him is like watching a rookie - look at people, and then look at you.
Cliveman has never been treated like this, and he is considered an elite diver all over the world. He couldn't figure out why the person who had just entered the water breathed with his cheeks, didn't he have to fight the currents, why could he stay underwater for ten minutes at a time......
With Li Huan's hard work, the excavation speed has become very fast.
An hour later, a dark shadow forty meters long appeared underwater.
Underwater archaeology is difficult because of erratic currents and harsh operating conditions. In some places, you can't bring oxygen cylinders into the water at all, and you can only rely on the work of the water mill to clean it little by little. As the wreck was cleaned out little by little, a square "door" on the side was exposed.
"That's the muzzle of the ship's guns! Can you find a way into the wreckage?"
When Li Huan was using high-pressure water to clean the sand, Ada's voice came from the underwater communication device he wore on his ear. He was speechless now, so he could only make an OK gesture to the camera, and then motioned to take the high-pressure water hose back. The wreck that was cleared out appeared to roll over on its side and fell to the bottom of the sea. Unlike modern boats, the hull is all wooden, and the planks are very precious black owl wood, which is extremely resistant to corrosion and is almost undamaged by water erosion.
Coupled with the sand covering it, the strong currents did not hurt it. Even after 500 years at the bottom of the sea, it is still the same as it was when it first sank.
The muzzles of the ships in the square were closed and well sealed. When there is no fighting, the muzzles of these ships are closed to prevent the entry of waves and seawater. The muzzles of the ship's guns, which have been closed for five hundred years, have almost grown together, but for a brute force player like Li Huan, he has his own methods.
Pulling out the survival knife on his leg, he grabbed the gun window to fix his body, and the sharp survival knife was inserted into the ship's wood with a few blows, and in a few clicks it pried open an entrance large enough for one person to enter. The sturdy wood of the ship has been undamaged after 500 years of underwater water and moon, and the picture of Li Huan's violent dismantling made the NGO staff hurt their teeth when they saw it.
With the moment the muzzle of the ship's gun was pried open, time seemed to be pulled back in time.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Considering the internal environment of the boat, Li Huan also brought a high-lumen flashlight with him when the first beam of light came in, and something seemed to swim over quickly, startling the people who were watching the underwater video. Then, a ghostly big green needle squeezed out of the crack and passed by Li Huan, and everyone laughed. Seeing that the door of the ship's gun cabin was sealed, everyone thought that it was a sealed environment, but after 500 years underwater, there must be something to decay.
Below the muzzle of the ship's guns is the artillery deck layer, from both sides, there are seventeen openings on the left and right, a total of thirty-four guns on both sides, judging from the height of the hull, there is more than one gun deck, it should be about three...... This is very similar to the description of the Vidah, a battleship with hundreds of guns, invincible in its time.
Because the wreck capsized, the guns on the gun deck were piled up at the bottom. As soon as Li Huan entered the cabin, a large group of colorful tropical fish were frightened and fled collectively towards the pryed open gun port, and a huge number of small fish hit Li Huan with a fight.
He managed to find his balance, spat out two bubbles in his mouth, and raised his middle finger at the fish.
The people on the freighter laughed.
After the fish were gone, the vision became clear, and at Li Huan's feet was a pile of front-loading cannons covered with green patina, which had rusted to the point of rusting, firmly surrounded by corals and barnacles. These small animals are everywhere, and wherever there is seawater, they can be seen. The front-loading cannon was the standard equipment in the era of sail battleships, and it would be a lie to say that there was no danger in the pirate battleship that had been sealed for five hundred years.
"Wild Awareness On!"
"Xiaofei, do a ship-wide scan!"
Wild noticed that Li Huan hadn't used this skill for a long time, and the radar was turned on on the virtual panel, surrounded by white points of light, and he hadn't seen any hostile creatures for the time being. Xiao Fei's two sub-planes shuttled through the water, and after scanning the overall structure of the ship, they found that the length of the wreck was more than 70 meters, and the displacement was close to 3,000 tons!
The necklace oxygen cylinder still had half of the reserve left, Li Huan thought about it, returned to the surface again to adjust his breathing, and after greeting a wave of applause, he returned to the water. This time he went directly to the lower deck of the artillery. According to Dumbo's scanning, there are a large number of metal objects in the lowest deck.
There is a play......
After entering the second-level artillery deck, there was a shocking sight inside. The entire aft wall of the ship is gone, and the broken wood of the ship is wrong. There are several cannons overgrown with coral, and you can see a noticeable curvature. It is possible that the ship was not sunk by a storm, but by an explosion at an ammunition depot. At that time, artillery mainly relied on black powder to fire, and tons of black powder were piled up in the ammunition depot at any time, and it was quite a terrifying thing to explode. Not to mention the wooden sail battleship, even the steel monster of the aircraft carrier caught up with the ammunition depot and died, and there was only one way to sink.
The NGO staff who saw this scene on the freighter were obviously also excited, and the champagne that had just been opened had been drunk, and someone had brought out a whole case. These people who don't even want to kill themselves all day long are interested in exploring these buried secrets. Ada's voice on the intercom was full of excitement: "First look for the captain's room behind the cabin, according to the records, this ship carries a war bonus document, if there is a document left, it must be there! We have to find a way to determine the identity of this sunken ship!"
However, Li Huan is a layman, and he is not as highly conscious as them.
It doesn't matter if it's a black box or a document...... What does 4.5 tons of gold and silver jewelry look like, although it is not mine, but I want to go and see it first......
