Greg. Mr. Steim unexpectedly fainted because of his excitement, and did not stop the whole salvage operation, because as early as after the twelve little golden figures were recovered, Mr. Steim had already ordered his subordinates to find a way to salvage the wreck, and if the wreck was really impossible to salvage, at least the part with the name of the wreck must be salvaged.

Because there are so many precious treasures in the Mayan civilization, Inca civilization and Aztec, the three major civilizations of the Americas, there are so many precious treasures at once, so the origin of this ship must be extraordinary, and it is necessary to find out the origin of these precious treasures, and at the same time to avoid disputes over ownership rights in the future.

Of course, Greg. Mr. Steim's request for his men to do so was motivated by his own good professionalism. However, it was precisely because of this order that Tang Feng and Sam also realized their shortcomings, so after Mr. Steim fainted, Tang Feng and Sam gave Mr. Steim the best care.

Although Tang Feng didn't mind where this treasure came from, after all, these treasures were put into this wreck by himself, but if he took this opportunity to let this treasure get a positive twenty-eight scripture origin, Tang Feng would definitely not mind.

Of course, those treasures that were salvaged later were naturally ordered by Tang Feng to be put into the large anti-oxidation bin for storage, and Han Sen and the twelve of them would take turns to take over the care of this large anti-oxidation bin with weapons in hand before the end of this voyage.

As for the salvage of the wreck, this is beyond Tang Feng and Sam's control. But Greg. Steim's order also reminded Tang Feng, so when salvaging the wreck, Tang Feng also did not hesitate to expend a certain amount of energy, and quietly activated the function of transporting ore veins, with the help of the shaking of the pontoon salvage. Quietly pulled the wreck out of the seabed silt more than ten meters thick.

Tang Feng can't do this, because when the ship hit the bottom of the sea at high speed, it became several because of the strong impact, although the section with the name of the wreck is located at the bow position, but if Tang Feng doesn't help, it is estimated that even the better preserved bow position will not be salvaged.

The difficulty of salvaging a wreck is far from being comparable to that of salvaging those treasures. I don't know how many years this wreck has been soaked in the bottom of the sea, although it is only the first third of the salvage of this wreck, but this part is probably already decayed and can no longer decay, so you need to pay extra attention when salvaging, if you are not careful, it may cause the complete disintegration of this half of the hull.

The salvage operation took Odyssey two full days, during which time Greg Brown was the first to recover. Mr. Steim had woken up, but he had apparently not focused on the half-sunken ship. But as soon as he woke up, he plunged his head into the cabin of the large anti-oxidation warehouse.

Tang Feng and Sam still gave the greatest support to the old gentleman's research spirit, and motioned to Hansen to give the old gentleman as much convenience as possible.

The half of the wreck was salvaged two days later at dusk, and with the help of pontoons and large marine cranes, the front half of the wooden ship, which had been corroded by the sea and various seabed organisms, was finally exposed.

"Quick, hurry up and get this ship into the deionized pool at the stern! Be careful. Try to avoid unnecessary shaking! "When the half-wreck was about to come to the surface, Greg. Mr. Steim finally put down his research work. Came to the deck to personally direct the wreck's work out of the water. This half of the shipwreck's hull bears the name of the wreck will make the world understand the ultimate origin of these treasures.

The salvage of a shipwreck is a very troublesome thing, and after the salvage is made, it is even more troublesome to protect it. Because most of the ancient shipwrecks were made of wood, these ancient shipwrecks were decomposed by the microbial and chemical actions of the buried environment on the seabed, which would cause the cellulose and hemicellulose in the shipwreck wood to be greatly weakened. Therefore, after the wreck is salvaged, it must not be allowed to dry naturally, but must be kept moist for a certain period of time, otherwise, the cellulose and hemicellulose will be missing. It will turn a dry shipwreck into a pile of wood chips that can't be distinguished.

Another point is that this shipwreck has been immersed in seawater for hundreds of years, and the average salt content of seawater is as high as 35 parts per thousand, and it is dominated by chloride such as sodium chloride and magnesium chloride, as well as harmful substances such as sulfate and sulfide. These substances are abundant in the wood of the shipwreck, and if the wood is dried, the salt content in it can be as high as 50 parts per thousand! This salt will cause great instability in the ship's wood!

At the same time, in ancient marine shipwrecks, there are often a large number of iron ions in the shipwood, which will make the appearance color of the ship wood brown, and will also cause the ship wood to decay rapidly in the air!

Generally speaking, a wreck that has just been salvaged from the water must not be exposed to the sun, and it cannot be left to dry. The best way to dispose of the newly salvaged shipwreck is to put it in a specially equipped deionized water pool, and desalinate the hull by soaking, constantly replacing the soaked deionized water, and putting into ultrasonic and other means. When the chloride ion content in the ship wood is reduced to a certain level, the method of adding complexing agent is used to carry out the treatment steps of desulfurization and iron removal compounds on the ship wood.

Of course, the steps are extremely cumbersome, but fortunately, the people at Odyssey are already familiar with these steps. Under Steim's on-site command, the half-section of the wreck was smoothly placed into the deionized water tank at the stern of this large marine salvage ship with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons.

All that's left is how to maintain the half-wreck, and of course, Greg. Steim also came to the side of the deionized water pool for the first time, and while directing the staff to carry out various maintenance, he personally cleaned up the part that was suspected to be the name of the wreck.

At this point, the salvage operation was completely over, and Tang Feng arranged for two people to follow the salvage boat he hired from San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, to return the ship to San Juan, and the rest of the people followed Greg Gray. Steim's top-of-the-line ocean salvage ship returns to Tampa, Florida.

From the wreck site to Tampa, Florida, it is almost more than 900 nautical miles, because the salvage ship is still soaked in the deionization pool of the ship, so the speed of the ship is not fast, the speed of eighteen knots per hour makes the ship run for more than 50 hours to reach Tampa.

And at this time, Greg. Steim has figured out the origin of this shipwreck! (To be continued......)
