"Boss, hehe, you...... I love you to death......"
Zhuang Rui took Clyde After looking at the three rooms equipped with torpedo mounts and artillery respectively, Clyde's big mouth couldn't be closed, and he couldn't wait to hug Zhuang Rui and kiss him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Clyde, merchant ships are not allowed to carry heavy weapons, aren't you afraid of being checked?"
Zhuang Rui was a little puzzled by Clyde's performance, and in his mind, Clyde should have been worried about explaining to him the dangers of these weapons, but he didn't realize the old guy's reaction.
According to the conventions of the International Maritime Organization, merchant ships are not allowed to be equipped with heavy weapons, because if merchant ships can carry weapons, how can they distinguish between merchant ships and warships? This is a threat to the sovereignty of all countries.
"Dear boss, don't be afraid, oh my God, I still can't believe it, these weapons are our ......"
Clyde was obviously a little too excited, and after seeing Zhuang Rui's unkind face, he became serious and said: "Every merchant ship will only be routinely inspected when it enters the port, and it is generally stricter when it goes to an unfamiliar port, but this ship has been parked in Macao for twenty years, and no one is interested in it anymore......"
After listening to Clyde's explanation, Zhuang Rui realized that he had equipped the weapon in a daze, and he didn't expect that there would be an entry inspection.
Zhuang Rui shook his head, he is really ignorant and fearless, if this is found out, I am afraid that no port in the world will accept his cruise ship.
According to the provisions of international law, even if a merchant ship carries a weapon, it does not open fire casually, and must only have the right to counterattack when it is attacked by an adversary, and the weapons they carry are only a passive means of coping.
Moreover, merchant ships carrying weapons can also be hijacked, and Clyde told Zhuang Rui an example of a North Korean cargo ship that was hijacked in the Indian Ocean not long ago, and the people on board were armed at that time, but they were still disarmed by sophisticated pirates.
However, the cruise ship is so famous in Macau that Clyde doesn't care if there are heavy weapons on board, which in his opinion will further ensure the safety of the cruise ship.
After Clyde's mood stabilized, he suddenly remembered a question, looked at Zhuang Rui and asked, "By the way, boss, was the explosion sound in the morning caused by a torpedo bomb?"
"Oh, I don't know about this, maybe they were unlucky, and maybe the ammunition on their ship exploded......"
Zhuang Rui smiled and spread his hands, with an innocent expression, but his appearance had already explained the problem, and Clyde finally understood that the daring pirate ship did not escape, but sank into the sea in front of him.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Clyde couldn't help but clench his fists and said viciously: "Great, boss, let's go slow when we return to the sea, I will kill all the pirates in Malacca."
Zhuang Rui said angrily: "Come on, these weapons are not a last resort, don't use them, a torpedo shell is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars......
Looking at Clyde's indignant appearance, Zhuang Rui was very suspicious, this old man wouldn't have been caught by pirates and exploded chrysanthemums before, right?
You know, it's rare to see women at sea, and the place where homosexuality is most concentrated, touching the crew at sea, if Clyde shaves off his beard, he must have been a handsome and dashing young man when he was young.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but shudder, and his gaze when he looked at Clyde became a little different.
"Hehe, boss, those pirates are all rich people, pirates rob merchant ships, let's rob pirates, that's right......"
Clyde's words reassured Zhuang Rui, otherwise he really wouldn't be at ease about handing over this ship to a captain with a special fetish, but Clyde's idea was too wishful thinking.
Zhuang Rui said with a smile: "Come on, Clyde, you are the captain of this salvage ship, our mission is to explore, to pursue the ancient shipwreck treasures, not to do what those damn soldiers do......"
Not to mention anything else, but the degree of this cruise ship is far from being comparable to those small ships, and you can't just get on the torpedo every time you meet without saying a word, right? Zhuang Rui doesn't have so many torpedoes for consumption.
Zhuang Rui saw that Clyde still wanted to speak, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go to Li Zhen and tell him that it is what I said, let this set of monitoring facilities be connected to the captain's room, and you can also control the ...... in real time in the future."
"Thank you, boss......"
Zhuang Rui's actions undoubtedly put the control of the entire ship in his own hands, although Clyde didn't know what it meant to die as a confidant, but at this moment he had made up his mind to give Zhuang Rui his life.
"Don't talk about those useless ones, now you have to count on the crew of the ship to work, you go and tell them that the pirates will not come again, let them work in peace, but...... The ship's weapons system, or the ...... to be kept secret"
Clyde had been so panicked before, not to mention the crew below, Zhuang Rui was afraid that if he didn't agree to return to the sea, it was estimated that those crew members would be able to unload the dinghy and row back by themselves.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Clyde also realized the seriousness of this matter, and went to the captain's room to announce it.
To say that Clyde's authority on this ship is really not ordinarily high, after his voice came out, the crew members who were in turmoil in their hearts all calmed down.
As for the staff of those platforms, they did not react much, the pirate attack brought them only a novel experience and bragging capital in the future, and there were even many people who were angry that they did not meet the pirates.
After everyone on board had rested for a day, the salvage of the wreck continued, and making a salvage plan was a rather tedious task, leaving Zhuang Rui and several experts feeling a little tired.
Because the wreck is more than 2,000 meters under the sea, and there are a large number of precious objects, if you want to salvage it as a whole, the difficulty is definitely not lower than the salvage of the Titanic, although the volume difference between the two is countless times.
Finally, three days later, at the insistence of Zhuang Rui, the plan was finally formulated, and the wreck was named "Maritime Silk Road No. 1", and the salvage operation was called "Maritime Silk Road No. 1 Salvage Plan"!
……
"Quick, put another thirty pontoons down, yes, drain the air, to ensure that in the first time, all the pontoons can be filled with gas at the same time......"
Two more days had passed, and all the preparations had been in place, and from half-past four in the morning, the ship's crew was busy, and the roar of the machines could be heard far away.
Zhuang Rui's salvage ship was busy, the huge platform had moved to the surface of the sea, and one hundred and sixty pontoons had sunk into the sea, every forty pontoons were a unit, and all the ropes were connected together.
And the two underwater robots are also busy now, through the platform manipulation, the two robots need to bolt four strands of special ropes to the ancient shipwreck on the bottom of the sea, this work alone, carried out for two days.
You must know that although this ancient shipwreck looks very strong, the binding position must withstand the pulling force of the pontoon, and if it can't withstand it, not only will the hull be damaged, but also those things on board will also suffer catastrophic damage.
"One group, one group, report on the preparation ......"
"Report to the commander-in-chief, all preparations are complete, and the ...... can be floated at any time"
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the second group is ready......"
"Report to the commander-in-chief, three groups and four groups are ready......"
There were four teams controlling the pontoons, and the deep-water robot, which had completed the tying work, took a special fishing sheet with a length and width of more than 40 meters.
This fishing was originally used to pull the boat for fishing, and it was made of steel wire and rope, which was extremely tough, and Zhuang Rui specially contacted the Macao side and asked someone to send it to him.
"Mr. Zhuang, what do you think?
In the monitoring room on the platform, although Zhang Gong is the commander-in-chief, he still has to follow Zhuang Rui's instructions, after all, this is the real boss.
After two days of arguments, Zhang Gong also admired Zhuang Rui, a young man who had never carried out deep-sea salvage, and actually knew all the details.
What makes Zhang Gong even more admired is that Zhuang Rui accurately found four reinforcement points only through the picture of the underwater robot sensing, and after two days of testing, it was shown that these four reinforcement points can withstand the tension brought by the pontoon.
Start
Zhuang Ruixin is also a little excited, the country's shipwreck salvage technology has always been very backward in the world, for the field of deep-sea salvage, it is much worse than the country, his own attempt, will also open a new chapter in the country's deep-sea salvage technology maturity.
Of course, although the ship was registered in Panama and was also on the high seas, Zhuang Rui still regarded this act as a state act.
Zhuang Rui has already contacted his mentor, Professor Zhou, and it is estimated that by tomorrow at the latest, Professor Zhou will bring a group of underwater salvage experts to arrive.
"One-two-three-four sets prepare, fill a third of the air inside the pontoon, and begin"
With Zhang Gong's order, the huge inflatable pump on the cruise ship made an earth-shattering roar, and the specially connected hoses swelled rapidly, and the air passed through the hoses into more than a hundred pontoons.
Due to the buoyancy of the pontoons themselves, they only sank to a depth of more than 200 meters in the sea, and after the air entered the pontoons, more than 100 pontoons immediately slowly floated upward.
The rope connecting the pontoon and the wreck slowly began to straighten from a fluffy state.
