Chapter 511: Locking the Target Range

"You say the shipwreck is possible on the edge of the reef?"

Teacher Bai was not overly excited, but a little too calm.

The erudite Ming Lao also pondered, and said: "The surrounding terrain is a bit special, like a derivation of the continental shelf. However, when you reach the edge of the reef group, the depth increases dramatically, and it is like the mountain drop of the mainland, and it is indeed possible to form an undercurrent. ”

Zhou You said: "There is a record in the account book of the Qing Dynasty maritime merchants, saying that they were forced to enter Bashan Island in the face of a storm, but unfortunately because of the storm, the route deviated slightly, and finally ran aground and sank. Based on these accounts, it is indeed possible that it happened there. ”

Ming Lao nodded and said, "If that's the case, everything will make sense." However, due to the difference in slope, it is likely to form a mysterious undercurrent. If the wreck sinks at that location, the perennial undercurrent will carry the wreck to other places. ”

Zhou You said: "But we can search along the trend of the undercurrent, which reduces a lot of time and energy, and saves us from tossing around here." ”

"It's a lot of time saver. ”

Ming Lao has studied these professionally, and continues to remind: "Although it can save us a lot of time, the danger has greatly increased. First of all, we don't know how powerful the undercurrent is, and secondly, even if it is not strong, at that depth, our frogmen have to rely on underwater tools to continue their operations. You must know that the average frogman can dive forty or fifty centimeters without ending the underwater tools. And the depth of 100 meters is a world record, which is not comparable to ordinary people. ”

Apus immediately said: "It doesn't matter, we have special equipment such as underwater propulsion, and a mere 100 meters is not a problem at all." ”

Zhou You asked: "I remember that the seabed operation, even if it is a shallow sea, it is good for the average person to be able to support it for half an hour." And you can't dive more than 3 times a day in a row, otherwise you will have some diving symptoms. ”

Aps replied with a smile, "The theory is so, but that's the average staff. Veteran sailors like us who work on the bottom of the sea have absolutely no problem working for two or three hours in a row with the assistance of machinery. Of course, this workload is best done once a day. ”

"That's great!"

Zhou You thought that even if he found the wreck, it would take a lot of time to salvage, but now it seems that it can be a lot of time in advance.

However, thinking of his special ability, Zhou You said: "Also, I will go down tomorrow to take a look in person to make a final confirmation." ”

Apus hurriedly stopped: "Boss, you have no professional training, don't go down." ”

Ming Lao also stopped: "Yes, I don't know if there is an undercurrent under the sea yet, it's really inappropriate for you to go down rashly." ”

Zhou You replied: "It's very simple, when we check whether there is an undercurrent under the sea, and then I bring all the equipment, so that it will be guaranteed." I'm not a fool either, I'm trained in diving, and I don't joke about my name. ”

"This ......"

"There's no such thing anymore. I had to make the final decision to really feel at ease. ”

Apus wanted to say something, but Zhou You interrupted him very unceremoniously. Traveling around with spiritual power is far better than the best divers, and at least 100 meters of underwater vision is enough for this search team to save a lot of time.

"It's a pity that our ships have limited capacity, otherwise we wouldn't have to go to such trouble if we brought all the high-level equipment, at least the sonar system or something," Apus muttered. ”

You You doesn't know what a sonar system is, but it's probably a survey thing.

"Let's just decide!"

Zhou You got up leisurely and went back to the room without giving everyone time to refuse.

They are now on a salvage boat, so they don't have to feed mosquitoes on Bashan Island, and their lives are naturally leisurely. It's just that in order to avoid the reef group, the location where the salvage ship stops is half an hour away from Bashan Island, which is not very beneficial to the salvage work, and it is also necessary to use the temporary supply point of Bashan Island, so there are still people stationed there on Bashan Island, and a certain amount of materials are reserved.

Ming Lao and Teacher Bai glanced at each other and said, "I don't know what I am, Xiaoyou suddenly became very stubborn this time." However, with such proper security measures and such sufficient manpower, I believe that there will be no problem with the willfulness of Zhou You. ”

Teacher Bai asked, "Then should we notify Lao Huang?"

Ming Lao replied with a smile: "Now that I have a preliminary clue, I naturally have to inform him as soon as possible." If we don't inform him in time and let him miss the most classic moment, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain it when he goes back!"

Teacher Bai, they couldn't stop nodding.

And so it was settled.

……

……

The next morning.

Aps came to Zhou You with a bloated wetsuit and said, "Boss, this is a special submarine diving suit, which can effectively counteract the huge water pressure and increase the working time of the seabed. ”

Zhou You looked at the ugly wetsuit and asked, "With such a bloated wetsuit, I'm afraid the flexibility will be greatly reduced." ”

Aps nodded and replied, "Yes, but the movement of the bottom of the sea is inherently inflexible, so this is not a big deal. Moreover, this diving suit has instant communication and high-strength defense, and can also carry self-defense weapons, even if it encounters a shark attack, it can last a little time, which is the most suitable for the boss. ”

"Oh well. ”

Zhou You can only reluctantly accept it.

Apus then added: "Such a set of wetsuits can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and we only had two sets before. This time, thanks to Dong Zhou, otherwise Mr. Li would not be so generous, and directly allocated a special amount of money to come, so that we can be fully armed. ”

Zhou You asked curiously: "I have seen some deep-sea diving suits in movies, it seems to be different from this one, is there a more advanced diving suit?"

Apus nodded, "Yes, that set will cost at least a hundred thousand dollars." And I've heard that there is a top-of-the-line diving suit made specifically for sudden accidents, and it is estimated that such a piece will cost at least one million dollars. ”

Zhou You thought for a while and said: "If there is the next salvage, you must find all the high-level equipment for me as soon as possible, and money is not a problem." ”

"Oh!"

Apus didn't expect that Zhou You would still be dissatisfied with his thoughtfulness, and he deserved a little little.

Teacher Bai didn't eavesdrop on the conversation between Zhou You and Aps, and came over at the right time to remind: "Xiaoyou, I know I can't persuade you, but you must keep in touch with us at all times. If you don't get in touch for five minutes, we'll send someone to find you. ”

"Don't worry. ”

Zhou You couldn't cry or laugh at Teacher Bai's mother-in-law.

I didn't want Mo Gan to come over, but he didn't stop Zhou You, but helped Zhou You: "Teachers, you can rest assured, I will definitely not let Dong Zhou leave my ten meter range." ”

Zhou You became more and more speechless.

It was also at this time that Ming Lao came over with a sad face: "A bad news, there is indeed an undercurrent around the reef group. However, the most dangerous thing is not the undercurrent, but the abundance of aquatic life brought by the undercurrent, which makes the fish abundant there, so that sharks will occasionally appear there. ”

Ming Lao got up earlier than they traveled, and commanded the reconnaissance submarine to collect information early in the morning. It's a pity that the information I got was not very good, so Zhou You suffered more worries.

Zhou You hurriedly took all the equipment and boarded the completely repaired auxiliary search ship, and shouted to the elders on the salvage ship: "Don't worry, I won't be so unlucky." Besides, this wetsuit can also carry spearguns, so you don't have to worry too much!"

Teacher Bai, what else could they say except for a wry smile.

And Zhou You's actions were even more simple, he did not go with the team to the temporary camp on Bashan Island to gather, but asked Mogan to take himself directly to the place where the wreckage was found yesterday, and then after a simple warm-up exercise, Zhou You and Mogan dived into the water one after another.

With thrusters to reduce working time, sonometers, metal sensors, deep-sea detection lights, and other equipment, Zhou You's dive was really not much stress, and it only took him a minute before he came to the place where he had last seen the door panel and the turtle.

"This mussel is not small, and I don't know if it has pearls. ”

Zhou You looked at the clever sea mussels mixed with the sea mud, laughed a little, and continued his exploration. He's here to find a shipwreck, not to play a game of hunting, where to have time to move mussels.

At this time, Aps's voice came from the communicator: "Boss, you distanced Mogan, please wait a moment." ”

It's just the beginning now, Zhou You didn't want them to come to him in a hurry, so he hurriedly replied: "I have found it, and I found a door panel of an ancient ship." ”

Immediately, there was a roar from the communicator: "What!

Zhou You replied: "Yes, it's just that the door panel is pressed by a large sea mussel, and I think it is quite difficult to search further." ”

Ming Lao immediately said: "Xiaoyou, I'll let someone pick you up." This is an important clue! If we can be sure that it is the door panel of an ancient ship, we will not go home empty-handed this time. ”

"I'll try my best!"

Zhou You didn't want to waste time on the door panel and the sea mussels, but Teacher Bai and Ming Lao were not as sure as Zhou You, and it was completely understandable that they had such a cautious attitude.

Soon.

So Mogan came.

With the help of spearguns and the principle of leverage, Zhou You and Apus pried the bulky sea mussel away.

And when they finished this little job, two divers who had been assigned also came to help. Zhou You asks them to take the door panel back, while he and Mogan continue their search. Interestingly, one diver was so greedy that he even tied the sea mussel to the thruster and brought it back with him.

Wander around and slowly search the undercurrent of the seabed.

Although the propulsion on the seabed is not fast, it is very patient to travel around. In particular, I saw the wrecks of the ships scattered all over the place along the way, and my confidence in traveling around became more and more abundant.
