"Didi, Didi......"

While Zhuang Rui and Captain Clyde were chatting, a small red light lit up on the electronic screen of the captain's room, and at the same time made a "Didi" sound. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The first mate standing next to the electronic command station looked at it, then turned around and said, "Captain, it's the patrol ship on the Portuguese side that has requested a call......

The "Xuanrui" is now in Portuguese territorial waters, and although several countries in the relevant waters have been greeted in advance, routine inspections still have to be carried out.

Clyde stood up when he heard this, and said, "Boss, I'll just deal with it, why don't you wait here?"

Normally, it is okay for the first and second officers to come forward for an inspection like this, but Clyde knows that there are many defensive and offensive weapons on his ship that should not be possessed by cruise ships, so it is better to come forward to be insured.

"Let's go, I'll go around with you......"

Zhuang Rui was also bored in the captain's room, so he stood up and walked out with Clyde.

After entering the elevator, Zhuang Rui asked the bearded captain beside him with some worry, "Captain Clyde, there won't be any problems, right?"

In the past, when he was stationed in a foreign port, the security check was carried out by the foreign affairs personnel of the port, but this was the first time Zhuang Rui had encountered the matter of being inspected by a patrol ship, and he was somewhat worried in his heart, but he knew that his "cruise ship" had strong firepower.

Clyde laughed when he heard this, and said, "Boss, it's okay, I have a good relationship with General Lascaux of Portugal, and I greeted him before I came, it's just a routine......"

When Clyde was young, he studied at the Royal Naval College in England, and many of his classmates now hold important positions in the naval departments of some European countries, and the Admiral Lascoe, whom he refers to, is also one of his classmates.

After hearing Clyde's words, Zhuang Rui put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "That's good, Captain Clyde, you might as well bring some small gifts I prepared on the ship, you might as well bring them to your classmates......"

As the saying goes, it is not strange that there are many people who give gifts, Zhuang Rui now has a lot of friends all over the world, and he prepared a lot of Xu Guoqing's burnt works when he was studying porcelain on the ship as gifts to some friendly people abroad.

Of course, after some gift boxes worth dozens of dollars are "beautifully packaged", when these waste products appear in front of the guests, they are from the masterpieces made by the masters themselves.

About 500 meters away from the "Xuanrui", a patrol ship stopped there, although it could not be compared with the size of the Xuanrui at all, but the muzzles of the two black holes still showed the difference between a warship and a cruise ship.

A speedboat was lowered from the patrol ship, and several servicemen came to the bottom of the cruise ship in the speedboat, and a few minutes later appeared on the deck on the elevator.

"Oh, old classmate, I didn't expect you to come here in person, you look so handsome in a military uniform......"

When he saw one of the soldiers in the lead, Clyde greeted him with a big laugh and hugged the visitor very affectionately, and the other party was also full of smiles, and whispered to Clyde in English.

"Boss, this is my old classmate, Admiral Lascaux of the Royal Portuguese Navy, he is two years younger than me and is now a rear admiral......"

After hugging Lascaux, Clyde introduced him to Zhuang Rui, but out of politeness, Clyde told Lascaux's full name, and Zhuang Rui was about to collapse when he heard more than thirty syllables.

Portuguese names, which are often made up of the names of their parents plus the names of their godparents, some of them even the names of their grandparents, and finally their own names, are the best in the world.

"Hehe, boss, just call him Lascaux......"

Clyde laughed when he saw Zhuang Rui's embarrassed face, even he himself specially reviewed the name of Lascaux yesterday, otherwise who would remember the names of his friends when it was time, and even the names of his seven aunts and eight aunts would be written down?

"Mr. Chong, it's a pleasure to meet you and welcome to the beautiful Portuguese ......"

When shaking hands with Zhuang Rui, Lascaux was obviously a little reserved, and naturally spit out diplomatic words in his mouth, but his attitude was still more enthusiastic, much stronger than the foreign affairs staff when he docked at the port before.

Sure enough, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, and after getting on the cruise ship, Clyde and Zhuang Rui took Lascaux on the deck for a tour and introduced the transformed deep-sea salvage equipment to them.

The salvage platform on the "Xuanrui" can be said to be the most advanced deep-sea salvage facility in the world, and Lascaux is very interested in it, and has been asking questions, as for the inspection, it is a simple look at the crew registration list and it is completed.

After the "inspection" was completed, it was almost noon, Zhuang Rui invited Lascaux and his party to the restaurant on the cruise ship, and after several exquisite Chinese "artworks" were presented, the relationship between the two sides became more and more harmonious.

"Mr. Zhuang, every year, many explorers from all over the world come to this sea area to salvage shipwrecks, and some of them do salvage some gold jewelry......

But to be honest, the amount of these gold and jewels is not very large, and I personally think that such a salvage is not worth the ......"

Because he was a classmate with Clyde, and he received a gift from Zhuang Rui, after a conversation, Lascaux expressed his opinion very bluntly.

Although Portuguese law allows explorers to enter the relevant waters to carry out expeditions, they must also do so under their supervision, so Lascaux has seen countless adventurers come and go home over the years.

You must know that the deepest part of the sea near Vigo Bay has reached about 1,000 meters, and the financial resources required for this kind of deep-sea salvage are considerable.

So for the sake of Clyde's face and Zhuang Rui's gift, Lascaux still greeted Zhuang Rui very kindly.

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, and said: "Hehe, General Lasco, I am an archaeologist, as far as I know, in the past history of this world, many of them have been tampered with, perhaps...... Are the explorers not looking for the exact location of the wreck?"

As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, in the area of the seabed that Zhuang Rui surveyed, there are more than a dozen wrecks of shipwrecks, and the property in them is mostly gold, according to Zhuang Rui's rough estimate, the minimum value is more than two billion US dollars.

Therefore, Zhuang Rui believed that those treasure hunters just did not find the specific location of the shipwreck, and that place belonged to the deep sea area, and there was a suspected deep-sea volcano at the bottom, and the terrain was relatively complicated, so it was not discovered by the world.

However, all this is not a problem for Zhuang Rui, with Zhuang Rui's ability, he can accurately survey the location of the wreck, so that the salvage equipment on the drilling platform can play the maximum function.

"Oh, Zhuang, this can't be, right? You know, just in the past few decades, there have been surveys for a thousand nautical miles near Vigo Bay......"

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Lascaux shook his head disapprovingly, there are many people who want to make a windfall this year, but in the end, they all leave here one by one.

Zhuang Rui's expression moved when he heard this, the surrounding thousand nautical miles have been surveyed, even if those people's survey equipment is not as good as his own, there is no reason why he has not found the seabed three hundred nautical miles away from here, the huge number of shipwrecks?

Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui took out the nautical chart that Clyde had already prepared, pointed to a coordinate point on it, and asked, "General Lascoe, has anyone surveyed this location?"

Zhuang Rui does not mind announcing the location of the wreck, because it takes a lot of preparation to salvage the wreck, even if it is known by some powerful international marine salvage companies, I am afraid that by the time they are ready, Zhuang Rui will already return with a full load.

The second is that the terrain of the seabed is very complex, and the shipwreck has long been decayed, so it takes a lot of time and energy to accurately survey the location of the shipwreck.

"Here?"

After seeing the coordinate point that Zhuang Rui was pointing to, Lascaux's originally smiling face suddenly became a little unnatural, and even his breathing was a little tight, and Zhuang Rui and Clyde looked a little strange.

"Old friend, what's wrong here? Is there something wrong?" Clyde and Zhuang Rui looked at each other and asked.

"Problematic ......"

Lascaux stared at the coordinates on the map for a while before turning his face to look at Zhuang Rui and said, "Mr. Zhuang, this sea area has gone out of Portugal's territorial waters, and it is the deepest place within a radius of 1,000 nautical miles......

According to surveys, there seems to be a volcano under this area, which often causes tsunamis and huge waves around this area, and some ships often go missing when they pass through this area.

There have been adventurers who have searched this area in the past, but it is ...... They also disappeared, with people and boats, and disappeared overnight......"

When Lascaux said this, he took a deep breath and said, "So, Zhuang, I advise you not to go to this sea area for salvage, even if there is a huge wealth down there, I think...... Life is more important than wealth!"

As soon as Lasco's words fell, Clyde, who was sitting next to Zhuang Rui, exclaimed, "Old friend, this is ...... This sea is the devil's sea that is rumored in Europe???"

Obviously, Clyde also knew what Lascaux said, but he had been away from Europe for a long time and did not know the specific location of the sea where these events occurred.
