"Shells still grow under the sediment?" Hong Tao couldn't really see it, but he had never heard of any kind of shellfish that grew under the sediment, this big pit was at least a meter deep, even if it was to hide in the sediment, there was no need to drill so deep, and there were so many.

"I don't know, let's get the ventilation pipe first, we have limited power and oxygen, and we have to check the condition of the submarine when we go up." "Rada doesn't do much research on marine life, but he is more concerned about the safety of small submarines. Although the interface between the submarine and the snorkel is automatically detached, who dares to guarantee that the submarine will not do any harm? This thing is not like a surface boat, if it leaks, it will leak, and it is a big deal to swim back, and once this thing leaks, it will probably become an underwater grave, and no one will want to run.

"Well, you have to check it out, and this Singh has to be punished!" Hong Tao thought so, and while the visibility was a little better, he manipulated the robotic arm to start unlocking the stamped owner's snorkel. The job was not difficult, and within a few minutes the metal connection of the snorkel was unfastened, and Singh was contacted by radio to use the ship's winch to close the snorkel.

"Wait a minute, I'll catch a few shells and go back to study, I haven't seen this shellfish before, mark it down, if it's delicious, we'll catch it tomorrow." Ah...... They're pretty sturdy, and they won't let go until they die!" Radha just wanted to float the small submarine, Hong Tao remembered one more thing, he wanted to study everything he had never seen, so he used his mechanical hand to reach into the big pit below, and used the metal chisel used to collect rock samples on it to insert it directly under those shells, wasting half a day's strength. Finally, I pried off a large piece of the basin and sandwiched it into the salvage warehouse. That's when I floated up.

After surfacing, Singh told Hong Tao bad news. More than 60 meters away from the joint, the snorkel was damaged in two places by the ship's propeller, and although the innermost layer of rubber was not cut, the outer three layers of metal protection were all cut off. It can be used improvised, but it is very unsafe, and the wires wrapped in the snorkel are also broken, and it can no longer provide power supply for the submarine, which is basically equivalent to invalidation.

"I'll let you pick your eyebrows! I'll make you stinky! Deduct half a year's salary, and pay me money. Go call Amundsen and buy another one back, and if you can't deliver it before Christmas, then you can put on a wetsuit and use it as a submarine for me!" As soon as he heard that his little submarine could no longer go underwater, Hong Tao was furious, pulled Singh and pressed it on his thigh, and slapped her on the ass. The reason why the float was hit was figured out, all because she didn't look closely and patronized to make up in the mirror. As a result, the float became entangled in seaweed, and I didn't know it. Only then was the ferry, which could not see the float, drove directly from the snorkel, but fortunately, the antenna connected to the float was not broken, otherwise it would not even be able to use the radio.

Having lost the big toy of the submarine, Hong Tao suddenly lost interest in treasure hunting. After returning to the Mouse Superman, he escorted Singh back to his bedroom on the third floor and darkened the glass. Immediately, the sound of a woman crying and laughing came from the room, and Singh was the same as Tan Jing. I'm most afraid of itchy meat, but her sensitivity is in the center of her feet.

Tossed for an hour. Hong Tao was also tired, so he hugged Radha and Singh and fell asleep directly, and he didn't even wake up from lunch this night, and slept until Jim and they finished work. At this time, the lights on the ship have been lit, and the treasure exploration team members who have been busy for a day have entered the dining room one by one with their heads bowed, and this day is empty-handed, and the last key area has been explored, and there is still no gain, not to mention gold coins, not even a piece of ship board has been found.

"Come on, come on, don't be discouraged, didn't you say, treasure hunting is like fishing, who dares to guarantee that you can catch a big fish every time! By the way, today I will catch some good things, Singh, go and send those shells from the salvage warehouse to the kitchen, let the chef see it, and if you can eat it, add a steamed mussel." Hong Tao slept enough, ravaged Singh again, and felt in a good mood.

He doesn't care much about submarines and treasure hunting anymore, and is wondering if he can go to Madrid or Barcelona to watch a game or something. Now he regrets it a little, he shouldn't boast about spending Christmas here, Singh has already contacted Amundsen, that kind of snorkel is specially made, and their company has not stocked it, and it will take half a month to deliver it at the earliest, how can this half a month be endured!

"Why don't you go to explore the treasure today?

"Besides, the snorkel of the submarine was damaged by the ship, and Amundsen said that it took half a month for a new one to be delivered, do you think he deliberately delayed me?"

"It's okay if it breaks, so you don't have to drive that thing all day long to drill all over the sea, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come back if something happens?" Levin didn't take Hong Tao's stubble, he understood what Hong Tao meant, he wanted him to call Amundsen to urge, so he wouldn't be this dog.

"If you can't keep it at home, a car will rush in and kill you, and you can stay in a hole in the ground as you say! Do you think Jim is still very enthusiastic? Or you go and talk to Jim, let's go back to Christmas, and it's not too late to come back next spring, anyway, that thing has been sleeping under the sea for hundreds of years, and I don't care about the last half a year. Hong Tao saw that Levin was not fooled, so he changed the topic again.

"Why don't you say it yourself?" said Levin, still reluctant to come forward.

"Of course I can't say it, I'm a major shareholder, how can I pour cold water on my partner? It's worth it, you eat and drink for nothing, you don't have any responsibility at all, just say it, otherwise I'll let you go to live in the crew cabin!" Hong Tao saw that Levin was still not fooled, so he simply didn't have to be ashamed, and this old spy didn't need to ask for face, he didn't have a face himself.

"Didn't you let me go to the crew cabin, and said that there can only be two kinds of people who go to the crew cabin, one is a woman and the other is a eunuch!

"Hey, I'm a grumpy, I don't believe I can't cure you! Why don't we play Texas Hold'em tonight, what if anyone loses?" Hong Tao was in a good mood, so that Levin couldn't get it right with a few words.

"Singh told you to go to the bilge, saying that there was an urgent matter, so I didn't let you make a noise......" This is Radha suddenly walked over and whispered a few words to Hong Tao.

"Steaming and asking if you want to put garlic in it, I've taught it in vain several times! Who the hell is the chef? Waste!" Hong Tao should really be an actor, after listening to Rada's whispers, he didn't have a second of effort, so he stood up angrily, the nouveau riche's face was so real and real, even an old spy like Levin didn't notice that he was pretending.

"What's so mysterious?" At the bottom bilge door, Hong Tao met Singh, she was very abnormal, and she was directly guarding the bottom bilge door, with her hands behind her back.

"Shhh......h Oh, just go and see, I'm here to help you guard!" Singh's face was as red as if he had drunk wine, and he was still holding a pistol in his hand behind him, his expression was very serious, he opened the hatch, pushed Hong Tao directly in, and then closed the hatch again.

At the very back of the bilge is a water tank from which the submarine enters the Mouse Superman. When the ship is running, the tank is closed, there is no water in it, and the small submarine is directly suspended in the tank with the help of hydraulic fixing devices, which not only ensures the wind and wave resistance level of the hull, but also overhauls and maintains the small submarine in the dry tank.

The bottom of the small submarine has an unsealed compartment, like a kangaroo's nursery bag bulging out of its belly. When it works underwater, if it encounters something to be brought to the surface, it can use a manipulator to put objects no more than half a meter high, 3 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 800 kilograms into this salvage warehouse.

When Hong Tao took the pile of shells out of the salvage warehouse, he immediately realized that although these things looked like shells and felt like a layer ......of calcareous hard shells, which was not much different from shells, it was too heavy, and it was obviously not a shell, it should be metal, or a metal with a large specific gravity.

"Won't you...... This Nima is...... Gold!" Picking up the pile of things and putting them on the ground, Hong Tao immediately noticed the anomaly, when he shoveled these things with the chisel on the mechanical hand, it was too rough, and its edges had been crushed. If it were a shell, it would definitely reveal the organizational structure inside, but there was no organizational structure on the hole in the pile in front of me, but it was yellow, and it was still shining in the light. With apprehension and excitement, Hong Tao also took out a sailor knife and tried it, and it was almost certain that this very soft metal should be gold.

"My Nima is also a mallet, and it's a shell, it's obviously a gold coin!" hahahaha......" After turning on all the lights in the bilge, Hong Tao finally saw clearly, this large pile of sticking together was not a shell at all, but a circle of gold coins. Because of the calcareous shell on the outside, it looks a bit like a seashell on the seabed. However, this layer of calcareous material cannot be tightly adhered to gold like other objects, so it was pried off by the manipulator, revealing the yellow essence inside. (To be continued......)
