Chapter 509: Hit the Rocks?

Ming Lao's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Ming Lao pointed to a miniature submarine that was carefully protected, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you prepare for it before, and specially brought a reconnaissance submarine specially used in the coastal waters of rivers?"

Apus nodded.

Zhou You said: "First of all, this reconnaissance submarine is electronically controlled, because the environment on the seabed is special, and the signal is extremely difficult to transmit, so it is best for us to avoid operating it when it is not necessary." Second, the sea area we have to search is not small, and if it goes well, it will take several days, and in any case, we must have the support of supply points, and it is impossible to do this by relying on a reconnaissance submarine alone. ”

This reconnaissance-type submarine, which is not even three meters long, is an auxiliary tool of the shipping company and is worth millions of dollars, but it is a pity that the diving depth is not deep enough and the power is insufficient to carry out reconnaissance work for a long time, so it is a tool of little practicality.

Ming Lao said again: "I didn't say not to resupply the transit station. We can send a team of men and horses to garrison them, use the island as a transit and supply station, and search slowly. ”

Ming Lao means to completely avoid travel and avoid unnecessary dangers.

Zhou You said very firmly: "No, I have to set off with the team, because I have the most comprehensive route in my hands." ”

Ming Lao's face was a little ugly.

In order to keep it secret, Zhou You didn't say the specific salvage location before leaving, and even Ming Lao didn't say it. Even now, he only told the approximate range, and the most detailed geographical coordinates were still in the hands of Zhou You.

After all, many of the people of the shipping company belong to the Dong family, and they must take a little precaution when traveling.

Apus hesitated: "But I promised Mr. Li that he couldn't let Dong Zhou take risks." ”

"I'm the top leader of the company!"

Zhou You's face changed suddenly, Sen was terribly cold, and said lightly: "If you have any opinions, I can communicate with you slowly after I go back." ”

Apus hurriedly retreated.

He had clearly received the rejection of Zhou You. If you continue to entangle yourself, the result will definitely be the result of being fired, and there is no second possibility. The gesture of the good gentleman who traveled around before really deceived him, making him feel that he was the boss of the ship, and that traveling around them was just the illusion of guests.

Zhou You said to Dazhi: "Dazhi, let Brother Guang's people deal with it." ”

"Yes. ”

Dazhi left leisurely.

Brother Guang said that he wanted to protect the travelers, and naturally he did what he said. After he received the news that Zhou You was about to go to sea, he immediately sent three international mercenaries who were familiar with navigation to assist, and now that Apus was disobedient, it was time for them to play.

Aps's face darkened even more.

Don't look at him as a captain, there are many people here who have been his subordinates for many years, but they are the bosses, and a word can make them lose this well-paid job. The most important thing is that after the previous reshuffle, the company that was originally full of foreigners instantly added a group of Chinese, and more than seventy percent of the people on this salvage ship were arranged by the tour, and the original team of Apus was only a few seven or eight.

Teacher Bai deserved to be Teacher Bai, he was not frightened back by Zhou You's coldness, and asked directly: "Xiaoyou, the matter is related to your personal safety, I want to know how sure you are?"

Zhou You didn't think so much, and replied: "There is no absolute, but it is more than seventy percent." After all, I have the entire ledger, and after careful sifting and analysis, I can deduce the approximate location, and even remember some geographical coordinates in my mind. If there's the best chance of finding a trace of a shipwreck, it's me. ”

"Be careful!"

Teacher Bai didn't talk nonsense, patted Zhou You's shoulder and stepped back.

Zhou You turned around and asked Dazhi and Forrest Gump: "Dazhi, Forrest Gump, which of you is good at water, or has you been trained in diving?"

Forrest Gump shook his head honestly.

Forrest Gump can only fight, and those complicated ones are definitely not his ability.

Dazhi replied embarrassedly: "Boss, although I can swim, I am not at the professional level." ”

Dazhi is only an elite scout on the frontier, not an almighty Zhongnanhai bodyguard, and it is commendable that he can understand so much.

Zhou You was helpless and said: "Okay, the task of searching is to let Brother Guang's men and horses set off with me, and you are here to ensure the safety of the ship and the elders, and wait patiently for our news." ”

Dazhi hesitated: "Boss, why don't I set off with you, it's enough to have Forrest Gump here." ”

Zhou You shook his head and said: "No, Forrest Gump will only fight, not fight, and once he encounters the navies of neighboring countries, there may be contradictions, so you must sit here, so that I can feel at ease." ”

Dazhi replied firmly: "Please rest assured, boss!"

"Please!"

Zhou You handed over the responsibility to Dazhi, and then returned to the cabin to start arming him.

If it is a normal search party, it will not be too much trouble, but the ocean is different from the offshore sea and rivers, and the wind and waves here are strong, and any big wave can capsize a small boat, so they must have proper safety measures before setting off.

On top of that, they had to search for islands with fresh water and set up temporary supply points, which required a lot of preparation, and it took them a full hour to travel before they set out.

However, this time the search team was complete, with three huge teams of fourteen people. Although two of them were in relatively rudimentary rubber boats made of special materials, the weather was good today, and the wind and waves were not too rough to cope with the general search mission.

Zhou You, who was sitting on the auxiliary boat, didn't say a word, trying to look at the satellite map.

Mo Gan, an international mercenary sent by Brother Guang, finally stopped loading wood, and carefully reminded: "Boss, this is a tropical marine climate, and even in winter, there is abundant precipitation. If we encounter heavy rain, we must evacuate as soon as possible, and with the displacement of our auxiliary search vessel, it will not be able to withstand the slightly stronger sea breeze. ”

International mercenary Mogan, it is said that his motherland is a small country in Southeast Asia, but he was taken away after his family was destroyed, and he was eventually trained as an international mercenary. Because he was a natural nautical genius, almost every mission he was assigned was in Southeast Asia, and most of them were related to rivers and seas.

Brother Guang sent him over this time, which shows that Brother Guang attaches great importance to travel.

Zhou You nodded.

Mogan was still cautious: "The most terrible thing here is not the sharks, nor the pirates, but the navy, because they are pirates under the flag of the country, and sometimes they act more unscrupulously than pirates." ”

Zhou You became interested and asked, "What would you do if they were to do something bad to us?"

"Kill!"

Mogan replied with unusually firmness.

"Good!"

Zhou You appreciates this attitude, at least he is more suitable here than Dazhi.

Zhou You is not a fool, he has a deep understanding of the environment. In fact, as Mogan said, the navies of some countries are more greedy than pirates, and pirates only want a little ransom if they hold you hostage, but if you are caught by those greedy navies, you may not die and peel off your skin.

Mr. Huang from the United States had deeply realized their greed, and if it hadn't been for Mr. Kong's appearance, it is estimated that they would still be detained now.

Zhou You asked again: "What facilities did you renovate that ship before, so mysterious?"

Mogan replied, "It's nothing, it's just water guns and torpedoes." ”

Zhou You was secretly surprised.

If Zhou You knew that the water gun that Mo Gan was referring to was the kind of high-pressure water gun used in high-precision industry that could instantly penetrate a five-centimeter steel plate, I am afraid that Zhou You would be even more surprised.

However, with these defenses, Zhou You's heart is much more stable.

An international mercenary suddenly shouted, "Boss, the coral reef you are referring to has arrived!"

"Good!"

Finally seeing the first geographical coordinates, Zhou You began to get excited.

According to the maritime ledger, it took Zhou You a full month to analyze some landmark geographical coordinates, and finally determined the location of the shipwreck, which led to the current line. If you don't know for sure, you will never come here to take this risk.

Now seeing the geographical coordinates recorded in the ledger, Zhou You believes more and more in the authenticity of that ledger.

"Put the signal!"

After Zhou You issued the first order, he flipped through his memory, pointed to the left side of the reef group and shouted, "Don't approach the reef group, let's avoid it." If I'm not mistaken, there's an island with fresh water behind the reefs, and that's where we resupply. ”

"Yes. ”

Mogan immediately changed his voyage and led the group around the tour as instructed.

Although they can avoid the reef and go straight through. But that would be too dangerous, and given enough time, they would rather make more detours than risk their boss's life in the slightest.

Soon.

The tour saw a series of small islands.

The islands here are a lot smaller than you might think, but fresh water is enough. In such shallow waters, not to mention the abundance of fishery resources, those with a little experience will not starve to death.

Mogan couldn't help but admire: "The seabed here is too shallow, let alone a large salvage ship, even our medium-sized salvage ship has to be cautious, there is a danger of running aground at any time." The boss didn't let the ship come, he just sent a search party, which was really prescient. ”

Zhou You said, "You can help me look at it and find an island with a prominent peak." ”

You remember that the secret supply point of the maritime merchants is known as Bashan Island, and as the name suggests, it should be an island with tall peaks.

Almost the next moment, Mogan replied, "Boss, isn't it the outermost one?" There is only one mountain peak on the whole island, and the shape of the mountain is very similar to a triangle. ”

"It should be there, let's go over!"

Zhou You didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he found the target coordinates as soon as he arrived.

Mogan exclaimed, "If there is a small waterfall, there is fresh water!"

Things went even better than Zhou You'd liked, and before they arrived, they saw a small waterfall hanging from the side of the mountain. But with this waterfall, it directly indicates that there is fresh water on the island, and it is likely to be a secret supply point for Qing Dynasty maritime merchants.

Boom!

But at this moment, the hull staggered violently.

"Hit the rocks?"

This is the only thought of the tour.
