Rada's suggestion was reasonable, but Hong Tao didn't mention it to Jim. Most of these professionals have a problem, that is, they look down on non-professionals, let alone listen carefully to their advice. For example, a person who is not very good at fishing came to Hong Tao's side and had to instruct Hong Tao on how to make a nest and how to make bait, Hong Tao must have been dismissive. This kind of fault is not arrogant, nor is it not not modest, but a habitual thinking. It's better not to be taken seriously by others for a long time, or even ridiculed. Let's go see for myself first, anyway, the area over there is not large, you can search it with a portable metal detector, according to Jim's progress, it would be good to be able to complete the search at the end of January, at least there is still a month, play slowly.

In addition, Hong Tao did not think that Rada's suggestion would bring any substantive breakthroughs to the treasure exploration work, she was only talking about one of the many possibilities of N, or the one with a relatively small possibility. I want to believe that she is mainly because she is idle, and this is not equivalent to another excuse to persuade herself to play for a few more days. Only when you convince yourself and have a good reason to play it will you have a more realistic and sense of accomplishment, and the game will be more fun.

Early the next morning, Hong Tao, as usual, let the patrol boat drag his small submarine away from the Mouse Superman to explore the treasure alone, this time his destination was no longer the waters on the west side of the island, but into the shallow waters between the island and the mainland. It is only 3 or 4 kilometers away from the mainland, with an average depth of more than 30 meters, and the seabed is even more turbid by the surface surges, plus there is plenty of sunshine. The seabed is covered with kelp more than ten meters high, as if you have entered a primeval forest. This means that the propulsion propellers of small submarines are all ducted. If you switch to a traditional propeller, you will be entangled in these kelp and aquatic plants every minute.

"me! me!" Hong Tao dived to the bottom of the sea. It's more energetic than these giant kelp, manipulating two mechanical arms, one long and one short, just like a big crab, tearing those kelp on the left and right, just like cutting trees in the forest, if he doesn't pull out the kelp in front of him, he looks awkward. As for whether to explore the treasure or not, he has long forgotten about it, and is completely obsessed with the technology of how to flexibly control the robotic arm. He even asked Radha to pinch his watch to see if the number of water weed roots that had been successfully pulled out in the past half an hour had been more than half an hour, and according to his wishes, he could have a water weed pulling competition.

"Toot toot toot toot...... ......"Just when Hong Tao waved two crab clips and stirred the bottom of the water to the point that there was no visibility for a meter, the inside of the small submarine suddenly became alarmed, and at the same time, the red warning lights flashed, so frightened that Hong Tao almost broke the mechanical arm.

"What's going on? Float up quickly, float up urgently!" This is the first time Hong Tao has encountered this situation. This small submarine is very sturdy and has a double-layered shell, so even if it hits a reef, it will not rush up at full speed. Normally, it doesn't leak, so why did you call the police? At this time, I saw whether Hong Tao was afraid of death, and he reached out to press the big red button. It's a pity that the button is with a safety pin, and it can't be pressed without opening the insurance.

"Don't be nervous! Don't be nervous! It's the snorkel and the power line that are disconnected. There seems to be nothing wrong with the hull. I'll see if I can float up with my own power...... You see, the functionality is completely normal. "Radha is formally trained, after all. Not panicking is the basic skill. Just when Hong Tao was at a loss, she had already roughly checked the instrument, determined the cause of the alarm, and began to activate the submarine's own power supply and oxygen supply system, and began to slowly float upward.

"Sea mouse, sea mouse, I'm the mother ship, please answer when you hear it!" At this time, Singh's call came over the radio, and the tone was a little anxious, and it seemed that she had also noticed something abnormal.

"I heard, what's wrong with it, why is my snorkel broken?" Hong Tao grabbed the radio talkie-talkie, he finally calmed down, but his little heart was still pounding.

"It's my problem, a ro-ro ship didn't see the float and hung up the snorkel, are you okay over there?" Singh heard Hong Tao's voice, and finally became less anxious, and gave a general account of what had happened.

"It's okay, we're going up! By the way, what about the loss of the snorkel? Do we still have a backup?" Hong Tao was more relieved when he heard that it was an accident, and now he immediately thought that the snorkel should not have a problem. This kind of thing is specially made, if it is really broken, then this small submarine will not be able to play happily, and if you want to match a new one, I am afraid you will have to contact the Kvarner Group, which will not be solved in a day or two.

"I'm retrieving the snorkel, but I'm having a little problem, it seems to be stuck on the bottom of the sea, and I can't pull it up...... Why don't you float up just yet, go underwater and look for where it's stuck. Singh was also worried about the snorkel, the patrol boat had changed several angles, but the snorkel was the same as growing on the bottom of the sea, it just couldn't be rolled up, and it couldn't be dragged with his life, so he had to ask Hong Tao to take a look.

"You just fool me, I can't look at the float, and I let the boat crash into it, and now you dare to order me to work, you wait!" Hong Tao was very angry, mainly because his performance was a little poor just now, and he was seen by Rada, which was too damaging to his image, and this account should all be counted on Singh's head.

"I promise it won't happen again, now I turn on the compressor, and you can see that the mud and sand are blown up everywhere, and the metal chuck of the snorkel should be there, and the call is over!" Singh estimated that he was also worried at this time, fortunately, the interface between the snorkel and the submarine is a device that can automatically fall off, once the pulling force exceeds the gate valve, the interface will automatically fall off, and the submarine air inlet will also be automatically sealed, which is to prevent damage to the submarine itself in the event of such an accident. It seems that the Kvarna Group is worthy of the title of professional, the people you think of can think of it, and the people you can't think of help you think of it, even if this kind of money is expensive, it is comfortable to spend.

"Turn up the pressure! Now the visibility under the water is not very high...... Hong Tao has no problem with Singh, she and Rada are secretaries, in fact, they are similar to two wives, as long as they don't go back to other women, they will take care of all their lives and work, big and small, and rarely make mistakes. Even if something goes wrong, Hong Tao is not embarrassed to complain about them, people are not sages, who can be without fault.

Following the direction of the mud and sand, the submarine quickly found the location of the snorkel, which was several hundred meters long, arm thick, with a rubber outer layer and a steel wire wrapped around the metal inside, which was stuck on a sunken ship. The watermelon-sized interface device was wrapped around the propeller of the wreck, and even if the snorkel was broken, it would not be possible to pull the ship with a displacement of thousands of tons. It seems that it has been sinking for a long time, the hull is lying on its side on the bottom of the sea, less than half of it has been buried by mud and sand, and there are two large holes in the bottom of the ship, which are black, and many small fish have used it as a natural refuge, and it is quite lively to go in and out.

"Turn off the air pressure, we're here!" The snorkel was still spraying high-pressure air currents outward, spewing out a large crater on the seabed directly below the interface, and the mud and sand that struck the glass of the submarine rattled and sounded quite terrible.

"Wait a minute, there's too much sediment, I can't see clearly!" When the snorkel stopped spraying high-pressure air, the visibility was lower, and without the strong current, the sediment and sediment on the bottom of the sea filled the entire water, and it was impossible to continue working without waiting for half an hour.

"Maybe the ship was torpedoed? You can see that it has two big holes in the bottom of the ship just below the waterline. I think it should be the power of the German 400 mm torpedo, let's check it later, maybe it's an arms ship, otherwise why would the German torpedo hit it!" In fact, Mao's German torpedo, he didn't know what kind of damage the torpedo explosion would cause, but he didn't know it either, and he would never dare to say that if he was Jim.

"I think it's better to forget it, what if there are unexploded shells in it? I can see what those expired bombs look like, some of them have rusted off their skins, and maybe they will boom at any time. You should go ahead and pull your seaweed, and see if you can catch a few lobsters to eat, I saw one yesterday, but unfortunately it swooped and disappeared. It's not fun here, it's dark and cold, it's better to go to the Bahamas to dig for treasure, at least you can swim or something, and you don't have to wear so thick all day. "Radha didn't want to go to death with Hong Tao, and began to complain, the winter here is indeed cold, or that kind of cold and cold, compared to the Caribbean, it must be uncomfortable.

"Cheng, we'll go back when they're done, I heard Jim say that there are a lot of shipwrecks near the Florida Peninsula, and we'll go there to dig when the time comes, and we'll get bored at sea, and we'll go back to Miami by helicopter." Hong Tao also felt that Rada's complaint was very reasonable, anyway, he couldn't dig anywhere, so it was better to go to a more comfortable place.

"Look, are these scallops or mussels? So many!" Rada suddenly stabbed Hong Tao, and in the direction of her finger, at the bottom of the big pit that had been blown out by the snorkel just now, there was a faint layer of secret hemp things, about the same size as mussels, and they were still neatly arranged, and the gray looked like a large piece of shells.
