Chapter 20 Location Determination

Time flies, and the rapid development of science and technology has made the journey of human beings on the ocean faster and faster. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At that time, the 'Zhongmei' gold panning ship took more than ten days to travel at sea, and Li Yan and the others rushed over in only two days.

Since the Panama Canal had not yet been dug at the time, the original route of the gold prospectors was to start from San Francisco, take a boat to Panama, then cross the Isthmus of Panama by mule and horse, and finally take a boat to New York.

However, when the steamer 'Central America' they boarded, just two days after leaving the port of Panama, they suffered an unexpected disaster.

The sudden storm tore a big hole in the middle of the cabin. What is even more serious is that because of the large amount of gold that the gold diggers carried with them, the ship was seriously overloaded, and the hull draft was too deep, and the danger that could have been ruled out became extremely critical because of this human negligence.

According to Tony's description, although the crew and passengers tried desperately to save the ship, they still could not save the fate of the ship's destruction. At the critical moment, the men on the Sino-American left all the lifeboats and life jackets to the women and children, and they sank into the depths of the ocean with the priceless gold.

Originally, this should be a tragic story that can be sung and cried, and it is completely comparable to the Titanic. However, the focus of future generations is on those golden gold.

As for the hundreds of heroes who died to save women and children, they have long been forgotten and never mentioned.

"Hey! This guy is fucked up enough! Standing on the deck, looking at the fish jumping on the sea from time to time, after listening to Tony's Li Yan, he sighed and said.

"History has also been written down by our predecessors. As for how much of this is true and credible, and how much is the author's imagination and emotion, it is not up to future generations to understand! In the shadows invisible to outsiders, Livermore chimed in.

"Don't talk about it, it's unreal, and it doesn't have much to do with me! I'm still going to care, my treasure has been found! Waving his arm, Li Yan turned around and walked towards the cabin.

Stepping through several hatches, Li Yan walked into the detection room of the salvage ship.

The eyes were full of ticking electronic instruments, and seven or eight professional detectors were whispering around several computers.

After a few glances, Li Yan pulled Ruan Yumei out of the crowd. "How's it going, can you determine the location?"

Although Li Yan summoned Tony, who knew the location of the shipwreck, through the power of the Book of Life and Death. But after all, hundreds of years have passed, and Tony only remembers the approximate location of the wreck, so the next precise positioning work still needs the help of Ruan Yumei and them.

Looking at Li Yan's eager look, Ruan Yu raised the corners of his mouth and said with a hint of resentment: "Yo, the sun came out in the west today?" Our big boss Li didn't go to play with the beauty, but came here to ask about business! What a rarity! ā€

"Hehe, I can't help you with anything, isn't it just to add to the chaos when you come!"

"Humph! It's all about you! After glancing at Li Yan, Ruan Yumei said: "The location of the wreck has been roughly determined, and now we are waiting for the final detection results to come out, once it is ......."

"Come and see, the imaging results of the detector are out!"

"It's finally out! Fast! Hurry up and put it on your computer! ā€

Hearing the exclamation of the probe behind him, Ruan Yumei's face changed slightly, and he changed his words: "It's already out, you can also take a look."

Following Ruan Yumei, Li Yan also squeezed into the crowd. The people in the detection room never greeted the real boss of the salvage operation except for one meeting when they went to sea.

However, the image that is about to be displayed on the computer screen is obviously more attractive than Li Yan. After just a brief glance, everyone focused on the computer.

"Ding Dong"

As the image generation prompt sounded, dozens of photos uploaded back from the underwater detector were finally displayed after technical processing.

"Look! It's a ship! ā€

"That's right! It's a ship! So, we've found the gold rush ship 'Sino-America'? ā€

"It must be! This is sure to be the treasure we are looking for! ā€

When the clear image shown on the photo was seen, the crowd erupted in cheers. After a long time of busyness, I finally found the legendary rare treasure, how can I not be surprised!

"Calm down, everyone! Yes, we did find a shipwreck, but it is still uncertain whether it is the 'Zhongmei' gold panning ship we are looking for! So, our next job is to find evidence that this wreck is what we are looking for! ā€

Just when everyone, including Li Yan, was full of joy, Ruan Yumei was unusually calm. After interrupting everyone's cheers, the follow-up work was arranged in an orderly manner.

"That's right, it's too early to be happy, let's work harder and strive for 100% certainty!"

"Good! No problem! ā€

Looking at the enthusiastic probes who returned to work, the corners of Li Yan's mouth turned up, and he couldn't help but have a little appreciation and admiration in his eyes when he looked at Ruan Yumei.

Originally, he was just taking the sheep by the hand and bringing Ruan Yumei, who met by chance, closer to this plan. Unexpectedly, she not only has a professional quality that makes people unable to find faults, but also has a lot of management skills! It's really a bit unexpected by Li Yan!

"Surprised? How do you look at me like that? Ruan Yumei, who turned around, returned to her previous daughter's true colors, glared at Li Yan angrily, and said with a slightly red face.

"I'm a little surprised, I didn't expect you to have a bit of the demeanor of the president's royal sister!"

"Why! Pure nonsense! Ruan Yumei blushed and said, "I won't tell you, I'm going to get busy!" ā€

Although Ruan Yumei asked everyone to carefully check the specific identity of the wreck, Li Yan was eighty percent sure that this wreck was the 'Zhongmei' gold panning ship he was looking for.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, the investigators found relevant evidence.

"The ship number is out, that's right! It's the number of the gold rush ship 'Sino-America'! ā€

"The three-dimensional outline of the hull has also been drawn, and after comparing it with the archives, it is confirmed!"

"The metal detector also detected a large amount of metal products in the wreck, and after preliminary testing, it should be gold!"

Evidence continued to emerge, and the emotions of the investigators at the scene also rose. Among them, the discovery of a large number of gold products made everyone's breath stagnate, and their expressions immediately turned red.

Although these few pieces of evidence can basically prove that this wreck is the target of this salvage -- the 'Zhongmei' gold panning ship. But Ruan Yumei, who was cautious by nature, still did not jump to conclusions, but gathered the investigators together and carefully analyzed the evidence.

After more than half an hour of discussion, the calmness on Ruan Yumei's face was gradually replaced by joy. turned around, walked to Li Yan's side, and said excitedly: "It's been decided, this is the goal we are looking for!" ā€

Although he had been prepared in his heart, after hearing the news that Ruan Yumei had finally confirmed, Li Yan couldn't help the excitement in his heart, held Ruan Yumei's tender little hand, and said happily: "Really? Are you sure? ā€

"It's true! I—I'm sure! Ruan Yumei, who had not been able to break free from Li Yan's palm, withdrew his hand, blushing and saying with a pretty face.

"Yay! That's great! Finally found it! Thank you so much! ā€

The excitement was beyond words, and the excited Li Yan pulled Ruan Yumei over and spun around in his arms.

"Put me down! Put me down! ā€

If Ruan Yumei could barely accept the handshake before, then now Li Yan's behavior of holding her is completely beyond her bearing. She's never had such intimate contact with a man in full view!

Blushing with shame, Ruan Yumei slapped Li Yan's arm desperately. But Li Yan, who was in the midst of excitement, obviously didn't notice her abnormality, and was still spinning in circles on her own.

It wasn't until Ruan Yumei's resistance began to develop towards pinching flesh and pulling her hair that Li Yan realized the change in the beauty in her arms. Hurriedly stopped, and put her back on the ground.

"Uh, are you alright?" Seeing that the other party's face was wrong, Li Yan scratched his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was too excited to pay attention, don't be angry!" ā€

"No, it's okay, I'm just a little dizzy!" Ruan Yu's eyebrows came to his lips, but suddenly he couldn't say it. opened his mouth and casually found a reason to cover up the past.

"Whew~ It's good if you're not angry!" Li Yan, who was nervous, sighed, and then said, "This is good news!" I'm going to inform the kitchen and make a good meal tonight to celebrate! ā€

With that, Li Yan turned his hand and walked out of the detection room.

Seeing Li Yan's back disappearing into the corridor, Ruan Yu raised her eyebrows and brushed the hair scattered around her ears, pouted and whispered, "Hmph!" What a big idiot! ā€
