Chapter 115: Looking for a Needle in a Haystack (1)

"Boom!"

The dark sky danced silver, and lightning slashed down on the sea, followed by a deafening thunder, as if it was exploding in the ears, making people hear the sound of color. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhuang Rui's 10,000-ton cruise ship has become so small under the power of the sky, with huge waves more than ten meters high, swaying the hull from side to side, like a lonely boat on the endless sea.

"King Kong, come, put on ......"

Zhuang Rui tore a quilt, took out cotton wool from it, and stuffed Fang Fangyuan into his ears respectively, the always mighty King Kong also looked fragile under the lightning and thunder at this moment, squatting in the corner of the room, losing his usual spirituality.

And at the beginning of the storm, the golden eagle also rushed into the room from the window in a rainy body, and kept screaming "quack" in his mouth, as if he was complaining to Zhuang Rui.

At the meeting organized by the Ministry of Communications three days ago, an agreement was finally reached that the salvage of the "Awa Maru" would be led by the Ministry of Communications of the People's Republic of China, and jointly carried out by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the Research Institute of Beijing University, and the Dingguang Museum.

The agreement stated that the salvage was carried out by the state organization and private fund-raising, and all the property salvaged belonged to the state.

As the funder and the main force of salvage, Zhuang Rui got such a promise: all the cultural relics salvaged from the water this time will be handed over to the Dingguang Museum for exclusive exhibition under the condition of ensuring their safety after being identified and verified by relevant departments.

The time limit is five years, and after five years, the Dingguang Museum must hand over the relevant cultural relics to the state, although this result is a bit different from the expectations in his heart, but Zhuang Rui also agreed.

After all, Zhuang Rui said it hard, but in his heart he still wanted to make some contributions to the country, and if the Awa Maru wreckage could all come out of the water, whether it was from the economy or from the perspective of international influence, it would be simple and beneficial to the country.

And if you can really produce any precious cultural relics, five years is enough time for Huangfu Yun to operate, and it will definitely be able to transform the reputation of cultural relics into benefits in a short period of time, and bring substantial revenue to the Given Light Museum.

I thought it was a very casual trip, so this time for the salvage of the Awa Maru in Fujian waters, Zhuang Rui not only brought his wife and children, but also brought a family of pets except for the two white lions who don't like water.

It's just that Zhuang Rui didn't expect that on the first night at sea, he was attacked by a storm.

Zhuang Rui didn't know that September and October were the typhoon season in Fujian waters, and if it weren't for this, Vice Minister Yu would not have been able to just focus on his "luxury salvage ship."

You must know that although there are no salvage ships of tens of thousands of tons in China, there are still medium-sized salvage ships of several thousand tons, and if it is not for the ability to resist storms, there is no problem for ordinary salvage ships to cope with the sea water tens of meters deep in this sea area.

"Xuan Bing, tomorrow during the day, let the helicopter send your mother back to shore......

Looking at his wife's pale face, he felt a little guilty, just tossing outside, and letting his wife and children suffer together, it was really not a man's behavior.

"No...... I want to accompany you, Zhuang Rui, I really didn't know your work was so dangerous......"

A lightning bolt outside the window, followed by a thunderclap, made Qin Xuanbing's body can't help but burrow into Zhuang Rui's arms, but the pair of children who were tired of playing during the day were plugged in their ears and were sleeping at the moment.

"Okay, tomorrow you are in the room with the child, don't go to the deck......"

Zhuang Rui nodded helplessly, since the ship was his, in order to facilitate command and coordination of work, this salvage gave Zhuang Ruian the title of deputy commander.

Of course, there are six deputy commanders plus him, but this also tied Zhuang Rui to the ship, and many eyes looked at him, and Zhuang Rui was embarrassed to ask for leave to send his wife and children back to Beijing.

Li Zhen was far away in Myanmar at this time, and Peng Fei's daughter had just been born and was working as a father in Beijing, so Zhuang Rui couldn't spare manpower, so he could only let Qin Xuanbing stay on the boat.

In the lightning and thunder, Zhuang Rui didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes the next day, he found that a ray of sunlight shone through the curtains in the room, sprinkling pieces of golden light.

"Damn, that's, isn't it? This weather is a child's face? Cry when you cry, laugh when you laugh?"

Zhuang Rui opened the curtains, the dazzling sunlight outside made him squint his eyes, yesterday's rainstorm and thunder have completely disappeared, and the seagulls in the distance are flying, and the wind is light and cloudy in the sky.

The sea is originally changeable, one moment the breeze is gentle, and the next moment it may be a monstrous wave, but the sunny weather makes Zhuang Rui feel good, and after serving the girl's son to wash up, he took his wife and children to the deck.

Zhuang Rui's team is a bit eye-catching, two cute children jumping in front of them, Zhuang Rui and his wife walking in the middle, and the one who follows behind is a little infiltrating.

Although King Kong is a primate like a human, it is not fully evolved, and the black hair and the height of more than two meters make the ship hide far away except for the old crew and security guards who are familiar with King Kong.

"Xiaozhuang, are you traveling or working?"

Professor Meng, who had come to the deck a long time ago, was also a little crying and laughing when he saw Zhuang Rui's style, the country attaches great importance to this salvage, and Zhuang Rui is easy to attract gossip.

"Come, call Grandpa Meng......"

Zhuang Rui teased his son and called out to Professor Meng, and said, "Teacher, this work can't delay the family, right?

Zhuang Rui said from his heart, if he chooses to work, he must give up his family, then he would rather not do anything, anyway, with his current net worth, it is enough for the grandson of the little kid in front of him to squander.

"Come, grandpa hug ......"

Professor Meng bent down and hugged Xiao Fangfang, with a loving smile on his face, turned his face to look at Zhuang Rui and said, "It's good that you can think like this, of course it's best to be able to balance work and family......

When he said this, the smile on Professor Meng's face slowly retracted, he didn't want to do this, but the economic and political environment back then couldn't tolerate him like this at all.

In the early 80s, Professor Meng was released from Qincheng Prison, and the country was in ruins, and Professor Meng also got into the work, not even knowing that his wife was terminally ill.

It is precisely because of this incident that after the death of his wife, Professor Meng's son had a lot of complaints about his old father, and later after going abroad, he was reluctant to return to China, if it were not for his granddaughter in China, the old man's evening would be even more bleak.

"Teacher, put it down, don't get tired, this little guy is very heavy......"

Zhuang Rui frowned when he saw Professor Meng, and hurriedly took Xiao Fangfang and asked his wife to take him to play, because he was afraid of the weather changes, he specially found two security guards and asked them to follow closely.

"Xiaozhuang, you can't say the word "Shen" when you go to sea, it is heard by the old sailor, but you have to scold people......"

Standing on the deck, looking at the magnificent sea, this mood is like yesterday's storm, it comes and goes quickly, and after adjusting the mood, Professor Meng and Zhuang Rui joked.

"Hehe, I'm going to go back and worship the Sea Dragon King......"

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but the change in his eyes made Zhuang Rui still full of fear of unknown things in this world, just like the old saying: the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous he is.

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself, Xiaozhuang, let's find a way to quickly survey the location of the wreck and salvage it......"

Professor Meng also felt a little scared of yesterday's storm, which may happen once in a few days in this season, so he also wanted to complete the salvage mission as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, teacher, as long as there is a shipwreck in this area, it will definitely be salvage......"

Although he has not yet used the aura to survey this sea area, Zhuang Rui has enough confidence, he does not dare to say that he is looking for a needle in a haystack, but as long as there are objects containing aura on the bottom of the sea, Zhuang Rui will definitely be able to find it.

As the two were talking, the day's work began, according to the predetermined plan, the first thing to be dived to the bottom of the sea by divers to survey the dynamics of the seabed in real time, and then according to the discovery, targeted removal of silt and salvage the hull.

This sea area is not far from the coastline, the depth of the sea is only a few tens of meters, and it has been turbulent by the undercurrents in the depths of the ocean for a long time, so the seabed structure is relatively complex and the survey is very difficult.

Unlike the flat, sandy seabed of the deep sea, which is mostly silt, the seabed has long since changed beyond recognition more than 60 years after the sinking of the Awa Maru.

"Professor Meng, the personnel are all assembled, can you say a few words, among the salvage personnel this time, only you participated in the last salvage operation......

The people who went into the water this time were all divers from the Maritime Safety Administration of the Ministry of Transport, and a staff member came over and invited Professor Meng to tell them about the characteristics of the Awa Maru.

As for Zhuang Rui, the deputy commander-in-chief, he couldn't interject at all, and after staying by the side and listening for a while, Zhuang Rui simply turned around and walked back to the cabin, and went straight to the ship's monitoring room.

"Boss, when are we going to the Atlantic or the Pacific? That's where a captain should go......"

As soon as Zhuang Rui stepped into the monitoring room, he saw the bearded Clyde staying inside watching an American adult action movie.

"Captain Clyde, you should stay in the captain's room now, right?"

Zhuang Rui laughed secretly in his heart, this old man actually had this thought, but he drove Clyde out with a serious face, someone is here, and it always feels a little unnatural for him to release his aura.
