Chapter 684: A Storm at Sea
……
Because of the first time he sailed, Liu Dong didn't drive fast, but before dark, he also left IJssellake.
After the 32-kilometer-long dam built by the Dutch 'Zuiderzee Project', Liu Dong also had to admire the Dutchman's determination to ask for land from the sea, and his century-long persistence turned the original Zuidermae into the current IJssellake, and perhaps in another 100 years, IJsselllake will become the Dutchman's IJssell area! At that time, the Dutch land will be expanded by 3,440 square kilometers!
At the current population density in the Netherlands, this is the living space of more than two million people.
Shaking his head and dispelling the nonsense, Liu Dong drove the yacht straight to the sea, but he did not cross the West Frisian Islands into the North Sea, but followed the coastline into the Wadden Sea.
&None&Error&Fiction. Liu Dong knows very well that compared with going to the North Sea to find a needle in a haystack, the chance of finding a shipwreck along the coastline is undoubtedly much greater, after all, the near-shore area is the dense area of ship activity!
Moreover, Liu Dong also believes that in the era of sailing, many ship owners will choose to sail in near-shore areas with less wind and waves to avoid the wind and waves of the North Sea and unscrupulous pirates.
Although his guess was indeed correct, after he really arrived at the sea, Liu Dong realized that the search range of the relics that he thought was enough was so narrow, and the 500-meter radius was too limited compared to the vast ocean.
By the time Liu Dong walked to Kukshafen in northern Germany for a day, he had only found two wrecks worth about $50 million. A Clark ship. A Caravel galleon. This is often referred to as the Spanish galleon.
In the past day, there was little harvest, and Liu Dong's original enthusiasm for the salvage of the wreck was not much left.
Therefore, he originally planned to continue north along the coastline, take the Skagerrak Strait, and the journey into the Baltic Sea also became a 96-kilometer Kiel Canal, crossing the Jutland Peninsula into the Baltic Sea, so that Liu Dong traveled nearly 700 kilometers less. A minimum of three days of time was saved.
It's just that Liu Dong himself couldn't imagine that he had only left the Kiel Canal for a day, and had just bypassed the island of Bonholm to officially enter the Baltic Sea, when he ran into a big storm at night.
Although he had long known that storms at sea were several times stronger than those on land, Liu Dong still underestimated Cheng Dù, who was angry in the Baltic Sea, and the strong wind of at least level 8 swept up waves of more than 6 meters, making the yacht more than 40 meters under Liu Dong's feet completely become a toy in the hands of the sea god.
Although the doors and windows around him were closed, Liu Dong still felt the wind and rain coming in through the cracks in the unknown place.
The 'crackling' rain of beans hit the glass on the window, and it felt like a drum.
"Not good!"
Through the guò relics Yuanguang, Liu Dong 'saw' a huge wave of nearly 8 meters pressing towards his yacht from behind like a mountain and river overturning.
In an instant. Liu Dong's heart lifted.
Although after nearly a week of driving, Liu Dong's boating skills have become a lot more proficient. But the distance from fighting the wind and waves on the ocean is still too far away.
And Liu Dong is also self-aware, he knows that if he doesn't hurry up and find a way, he may not last long, and he and Mei Xue, as well as this luxury cruise ship, will be photographed to the bottom of the sea.
Of course, with Liu Dong's current ability, the Baltic Sea, with an average depth of no more than 500 meters, cannot threaten his life, but Mei Xue is different!
Thinking of this, Liu Dong glanced at the beautiful woman next to her who was holding the steel handrail, her face was pale and she looked terrified, seasickness and fear had almost exhausted her energy.
"Xue'er, hold on!" Liu Dong snorted violently and held the steering wheel tightly.
And after his reminder, Mei Xue nodded desperately at him, and her arms were also tightly wrapped around the iron frame fixed to the hull next to her.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Liu Dong felt like someone was smashing a super sledgehammer weighing hundreds of tons on the yacht from behind.
"Ah......h
Hearing Mei Xue's scream, Liu Dong suddenly felt as if his yacht had been slapped into the bottom of the sea like a fly, but fortunately, although the wind and waves were strong, this time the boat finally did not capsize, so in a few seconds when Liu Dong felt as if the sky and the earth were shattered, when the yacht stubbornly came out of the sea again, they had been pushed away by the wind and waves for hundreds of meters.
It was only then that Liu Dong understood that compared to the stormy sea storm, the storm he experienced with Chen Mo and Liang Sicheng on the Yangtze River was as ridiculous as a child's house.
"It can't go on like this!"
Looking at Mei Xue, who was almost unable to support it, and the sea storm outside seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, Liu Dong knew that he had to make a change.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Dong no longer hesitated, and when there was no big wave coming, he let go of the steering wheel, stepped to Mei Xue's side in one step, and clicked on the sleeping hole on the back of her neck!
"Fortunately, I came out this time and specially bought deep diving equipment, otherwise it would have been really troublesome this time. ”
While rejoicing in his heart, Liu Dong took out a high-strength anti-load suit and special diving equipment from the mustard seed space and put it on for Mei Xue.
After waiting for a while, Liu Dong reached out to open the hatch next to him and went out with Mei Xue in his arms.
"Whoa, ......!"
In an instant, Liu Dong felt that the wind and waves around him had at least doubled, and the feeling inside and outside the cabin was really different.
However, Liu Dong didn't care about the fate of turning into a soup chicken in an instant, slapped the yacht with his backhand, put it into the mustard seed space, and fell into the choppy ocean with Mei Xue in his arms!
When he dive to forty meters, although the sea water around him was still surging rapidly, it was obviously much more secure than the sea surface gave Liu Dong.
Compared with the sport of diving, generally more than 40 meters is considered a deep dive, although Liu Dong prepared deep diving equipment, and Mei Xue is young and her body is not bad, but Liu Dong still maintained this depth for a few minutes, and only after seeing that Mei Xue was not abnormal, he continued to dive, but the speed was much slower.
As for Liu Dong himself, as long as the depth of the sea water does not exceed three hundred meters, it is within his tolerance range, and the breath-holding time of up to one and a half hours, and the body element that is far several times higher than that of ordinary people ensures his greatest degree of freedom in the sea water.
However, when she dived to about 80 meters, Mei Xue's body reached the bottom line and began to have obvious spasms.
Liu Dong, who always paid attention to Mei Xue's movements, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly floated more than ten meters, and waited until Mei Xue's body stabilized before he breathed a sigh of relief!
But Mei Xue is fine, Liu Dong himself has a headache, originally he still hoped that he would go directly through the ocean and walk under the seabed, but now it is obviously impossible.
Fortunately, at a distance of 70 meters from the sea, the surging of the sea water is not as violent as that on the sea surface!
Taking out an oxygen cylinder from the mustard seed space and putting it on himself, Liu Dong carried Mei Xue behind him and began to swim forward, with the help of the surging of the sea water and his strong physique, his speed was not slow, barely like jogging.
But looking at the deeper and deeper sea with the relics yuanguang, Liu Dong felt a deep toothache, if he couldn't speed up, no matter how strong his staying power was, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to swim out of the storm area.
And with Mei Xue's oil bottle, if he really found the shipwreck, he wouldn't dare to pick it up!
However, Liu Dong's luck was not too unlucky, and after swimming forward for half an hour, the height of the seabed finally slowly rose.
"Great!"
Under the light of the relics, seeing that this should belong to the terrain of the high mountains under the sea, Liu Dong was happy in his heart, and hurriedly swam a distance, found a place 60 meters away from the sea surface, and made a 2*2 meters, five meters deep hole, and waited until the sea water surging to fill this deep hole, Liu Dong first collected a piece of 125 cubic meters of earthwork from not far away and put it into the mustard seed space, and then jumped down the previously made pothole.
After reaching the bottom of the cave, Liu Dong covered the entrance of the cave with 125 cubic meters of soil and stones, and then made a 2*2*5 rectangular pit horizontally, and then rushed into it with the seawater. Then immediately plug the pothole behind him.
At this time, Liu Dong also found that the outermost layer of 125 cubic meters of soil and stone could no longer withstand the huge pressure of the sea water and collapsed.
Liu Dong, who breathed a sigh of relief, had no scruples at the moment, and went straight down and drilled to a depth of 100 meters from the bottom of the sea to ensure that the sea water would not crush the cave before starting to dig a hole in parallel.
Without the obstacle of the seawater, Liu Dong's speed suddenly increased, although it was not a 100-meter sprint, but 40 kilometers per hour could still be guaranteed!
However, in order to deviate too much, Liu Dong took out a compass from the mustard seed space, and then rushed forward with his head down.
In two hours, three hours, the depth of the sea has reached nearly three hundred meters, but the storm area on the sea surface has been hanging overhead, if he is not very sure that he is not going around in circles, Liu Dong would even have the heart to cry.
"Made, the master is so tired from running, can't you bring me a shipwreck to comfort me?" As soon as Liu Dong's voice fell, his footsteps stopped abruptly.
"Which way is the Great Immortal so effective?"
With this thought, Liu Dong noticed that within the scope of the relics Yuanguang, a battleship about 30 meters long, 6 meters wide, about 7 meters high, with a displacement of 600 tons, a double deck, and about 30 guns appeared.
It's just that this battleship is lying crookedly in the mud and sand, half of its body has been buried, and two large holes with a diameter of one meter have been broken in the waterline part of the hull on its right side, which should be the reason for its sinking!
