Chapter 102: Open the Pyramid
August 1.
Two deepwater engineering vessels and two supply vessels of the Lederick Marine Exploration Company slowly sailed out of port.
The two engineering ships were named 'Sea Behemoths', and the names given by Kyle were severely complained about by Mo Fan.
On the deck of the No. 1 giant beast, Mo Fan opened his hands to meet the wind blowing in his face......
I really want to finish my work here quickly and go back to Tahiti.
"Mo!" Kyle and Schneider approached with a nautical map, and Schneider was the team's chief engineer, commander-in-chief, equivalent to the project manager.
"What's the matter?" Mo Fan said, turning his head.
Kyle pointed to the dot on the map that Mo Fan had marked, "Are you sure there's treasure here?"
"100 percent sure. How, don't believe me. ”
"Nope. It's just that...... The region is 2,136 km from the nearest mainland and 1,351 km from the nearest island. Moreover, the depth of the seabed is 3,723 meters...... I believe in the words of the shipwreck, but the underwater pyramid ......"
"There are so many unsolved mysteries in the world. There is no need to delve into the origin of the pyramids, just know that there are treasures. ”
The flotilla sailed to the deep sea and arrived in the designated area on the morning of 7 August.
In the command room, Mo Fan determined the coordinates again, and the fleet was above the submarine pyramid: "The ship has arrived at the designated position. Behemoth No. 2, supply ships No. 1 and No. 2, please answer when you receive it. ”
"Sea Behemoth No. 2 received. ”
"Supply ship No. 1 received. ”
"Supply ship No. 2 received. ”
The ship stabilized on the sea, and Schneider hurried in with a walkie-talkie: "Boss, whether the engineering ship is docked and built a working platform on the sea." ”
"Docking. ”
Kyle was also excited, but more nervous, and opened his mind to say something, but he didn't open his mouth after all.
Kyle probably wanted to go to the sea to check it out, and then definitely the docking problem of the engineering ship, but since Mo Fan was so sure, he couldn't say anything.
The two huge engineering ships slowly sailed parallel to each other, close together, and fixed. The two supply ships slowly approached again......
This is the deep sea zone, far from the mainland and the islands. In the past, there were occasional large ocean-going freighters passing through this area, but the large bubbles created by Mo Fan when he collapsed the pyramid almost swallowed an ocean-going freighter, and this matter made the news, and no more freighters passed by here since. Besides, this is not a sea route in the first place......
All the work was rehearsed before, and everyone knew what to do in practice, and the progress was fast.
At noon, the four ships approached and were fixed together. At 2 p.m., the engineering ship released two deep-sea robots to dive to the bottom of the sea......
The bottom of the sea is dark for 200 meters, almost dark for 300 meters, and pitch black for 500 meters.
At 3,700 meters, the two robots dived for 20 minutes. When the robot reached the bottom of the sea, the searchlight shone on the pyramid, and there was a sound of inhalation in the robot's operating room.
The robot sent back an image of a man-made rock in the shape of a stone ladder.
The deep-sea diving robot has only two lights, and when the two robots are closed, the light illuminates a large area, revealing a corner of the underwater pyramid.
The pyramid steps are more than two meters high, and they are stacked with huge rocks. The part of the pyramid that exposes the surface of the seabed is 91 meters on the sides and 15 meters in height, with a total of six steps.
The top of the pyramid collapsed, and some of the huge artificially excavated rock was fractured...... In disorder.
"The second machine is close to the fractured rock, and the lens zooms in...... Left, then left...... Right...... OK。 The lens is zoomed in again...... The robot is close, low power, minimum power prevents blowing dust...... OK。 Schneider handed the ipad in his hand to Mo Fan and enlarged the picture: "Boss, look at this small round object, is it a coin?"
Kyle quickly poked his head over.
Mo Fan looked at it and nodded: "Use the machine to blow away the sand and dust on the rocks, gently." ”
“OK。 Schneider continued to direct the robot.
At the collapse of the pyramid, a considerable number of gold coins were found, at least in the hundreds. It is believed that the pyramid collapsed, and the gold coins were rolled out when the sea poured into it.
Mo Fan remembered that the top floor of the pyramid was a large room with more than a dozen large chests inside. The chests were rotten and contained a large number of gold and silver coins. When the pyramid is intact, there is a passage to the pyramid at the very top......
The internal structure of the pyramid is so complex that it is buried deep in the sea, and there is still air inside the pyramid, and I don't know how it was built.
On the screen, the technician controls the robot's mechanical arm to pick up the gold coins, and everyone is holding their breath.
The employee responsible for operating the No. 1 deep-sea operation robot once salvaged items on the Titanic. At that time, he was not nervous at all, but now, he was visibly nervous, his hands were trembling slightly, but he stabilized his emotions well, and controlled the robot to carefully pick up the gold coins on the rocks......
After 8 o'clock in the evening, the engineering ship retrieved two deep-sea operation robots. Chen Xiaotang was in charge of the materials and light work, and as soon as the things came up, he brought people over to take pictures and archive the materials, and then asked Mo Fan's opinion and locked the gold coins in the vault.
The sea is vast, and the waves are rolling. This area is far from land, and it is unlikely that it is a silent continent after analysis, but why are there pyramids on the ocean floor...... This is puzzling to everyone.
But whatever, it's good to have treasures.
The undersea treasure was confirmed, and Kyle was relieved.
All of the work of the Lederick Marine Exploration Company at this stage revolves around the Great Western Treasures. For the sake of this treasure, Kyle pressed all his net worth and wealth, if there is no treasure, although it will not go bankrupt, the future will not be easy.
After dinner, Mo Fan took Chen Xiaotang to the entertainment room to play billiards, and Kyle hurriedly found him.
431 gold coins were salvaged today, but compared to the company's large capital investment, this harvest is only a drop in the bucket.
"Don. Kyle came to say hello to Chen Xiaotang and whispered in Mo Fan's ear, "It's a meeting." ”
"It's past 11 o'clock, now for the meeting?" Mo Fan looked at the time, he was ready to go back to the house to sleep after the game.
"God, you used to be notoriously desperate. Let's go. Kyle said, smiling at Chen Xiaotang with an apologetic expression.
"Okay. Mo Fan handed the pole to Xiao Tang: "Play again tomorrow night, and you can go back to the house early to rest." ”
"Busy with you, I'll play two more strokes. ”
Schneider and the other engineers were studying the 3D drawings of the pyramid given by Mo Fan and decided to open the pyramid tomorrow.
Mo Fan had also been in the company for a few months and knew how to work, but he was not an expert in this area after all, so he came over to listen to their research plan.
The engineering ship has a strong operational capacity, and the two ships can lift a heavy load of nearly 2,000 tons at a depth of 3,700 meters in parallel. The main reason is that it is too deep here, and the rope that is put down weighs more than 100 tons, and the robot has to be commanded to work together......
It took three full days to open the upper level of the pyramid.
The work here is three shifts, and basically people rest, and machines do not rest.
Open the pyramid and six robots will dive to the bottom of the sea and enter the inside of the pyramid.
At the top of the pyramid, a total of 11,000 gold coins and 136,510 silver coins were collected, as well as a number of other items. Gold and silver coins were subcontracted and collected, and other items were numbered and stored in the vault, which will be studied later.
