Every winter, under the influence of the North Atlantic trade winds, a warm North Atlantic current starts from the seas of Spain and Portugal, and goes south in a clockwise direction to the north of South America, the Caribbean Sea, and then returns from the east-central coast of the United States to the United Kingdom and even Western Europe.

It is the influence of this warm current that makes the winters not cold in most parts of Western Europe, although they are very dimensional. In the same dimension, the minimum temperature in Eastern Europe and Siberia can reach minus 40 or 50 degrees, and the United States and Canada can also reach minus 20 or 30 degrees, but in the Netherlands, Britain, France and Germany, the general temperature will be above minus 10 degrees.

This kind of climate that is not hot in summer and cold in winter, and this pleasant living environment is also one of the main reasons for the population explosion and civilization leadership of Europe in history.

The North Pacific in February is still bitterly cold and harsh, but the North Atlantic is the calmest time in comparison.

From the port of Santurse, the Ranger traveled northwest according to the pre-set latitude and longitude points of the tour, and according to the plan, the Ranger would travel 850 kilometers to reach a destination in the west direction of the English Channel.

Eight hundred and fifty kilometers, or nearly five hundred nautical miles, is a journey of nearly 24 hours at the Ranger's cruising speed. By the time the Ranger arrived at its destination, it was the morning of the next day.

The Ranger left the harbor, but it was still noisy. Because this time, the Ranger sailed almost at full capacity, and the passengers on board almost filled all the cabins on the Ranger.

In addition to the forty crew members on board, there was also a historical research team from the Spanish side, which was duly paid by the Spanish side as mediator between the traveling and the British side.

In addition to them, there were more people on the British side on board, who sent not only a study team, but also officials from the British Maritime Authority, officials from the British Heritage Board, and also an observation group from the House of Lords.

In addition, the United Nations Seabed Authority also sent a three-person observation team, and the Singapore side also sent corresponding staff, including the newly established Marine Resources Research Association, and also sent people to board the Ranger.

Originally, the British and Spanish governments, including Singapore, wanted to send a film crew to board the Ranger, but because there was no space left, Zhou You refused to board the ship for this reason.

Just kidding, salvaging these precious video materials of the Victory, Zhou You still wants to sell them at a good price, how can they be directly involved in the shooting.

Among other things, director Cameron produced several video programs based on video materials from his travels, which were very popular in the market. Each set is sold for more than 2,000 US dollars, but 80,000 sets have been sold, and this alone has brought nearly 100 million US dollars of net profit to Zhou You, and it also made Lin Wei and her sisters stunned, and they attach great importance to the current video materials.

It is not clear to others, but it is clear that these video materials are not only of great significance for the study of history and culture, but are also popular among major research institutions. These salvage materials are a textbook for deep-sea salvage, and many commercial organizations have also actively participated in them, wanting to learn through these salvage experiences.

At present, many media outlets such as World Geographic Magazine are also actively contacting Nanyang Commercial Salvage Company, hoping to buy the TV broadcast rights and media publication rights of these materials, although these revenues will not be higher than the sale of video tapes, but the income will also be tens of millions of dollars.

Therefore, on this trip, not only did four fixed cameras be added around the Ranger's hull, but Zhou You also arranged for several crew members to learn photography techniques for a period of time, and they will be responsible for filming all the processes during the salvage process.

Coming out of the control room, you can see that on the deck under your feet, many people are enjoying the surrounding scenery on the deck as if they are tourists. Today is a sunny day, although the temperature is a little low, but the sun is shining, and many people choose to bask on the deck.

Stephen and the Brits were even more exaggerated, taking advantage of the Ranger when they were at the belly of the ship, one by one, as if they were on vacation, leaning in chairs and sunbathing, each with wine glasses in their hands.

Maybe they also regret that there are fewer women on the boat, otherwise, it would be a perfect vacation.

Seeing Zhou You looking down from the control room more than ten meters high, Stephen also raised his wine glass and gestured to Zhou You.

Zhou You smiled, turned over and jumped from the control room on the fourth floor, and the people on the deck let out an exclamation, thinking that Zhou You couldn't think about wanting to commit suicide.

From the control room on the fourth floor to the deck, it is a full twelve meters high, and it is all steel, and there is absolutely no chance of survival if you jump from it.

But Zhou You jumped directly to the balcony of his room on the third floor, and then twisted his body, and jumped from the third floor to the roof of the computer room, and along the climbing pole next to the computer room, in a few seconds, he stood in front of Stephen.

At this time, Stephen's raised glass had not yet been put down.

Zhou You bowed slightly. "Are you going to treat me to a drink?"

The people around him woke up at this time, put down their wine glasses, and began to applaud enthusiastically. And Stephen also came to his senses at this time, stood up and exclaimed, "God...... Mr. Zhou, are you still human! ”

Zhou You nodded around, and picked up an open bottle of whiskey on the table. Stephen hurriedly took a wine glass and said, "This is a single malt whisky from Scotland that has been stored for more than 25 years, so the best way to appreciate this bottle is to drink it pure." ”

Zhou You poured about a sip into the cup, shook it twice, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and raised his glass to touch him. "I wish us all the best on this trip."

"Good luck." He touched Zhou You, drank all the remaining half glasses of wine at once, and said with some excitement: "You are the most amazing person I have ever met." ”

The biggest difference between whisky and liquor is that it retains the original malt taste, and after a long time of fermentation and storage, it has a strong botanical fragrance and smoke flavor, and the taste is long.

"Good wine...... Zhou You praised, added about a tael to the cup, and raised his glass to signal to the people around him. This time, though, he didn't finish it directly, but just took a sip.

Helping Stephen add a little more to his cup, Zhou You sat down beside him. "Your Excellency, Count Balchin, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you, but it is only today that I finally have this opportunity."

Stephen nodded and said, "I have the same desire, Mr. Zhou, the news about you has been evaluated in different ways within our UK, both good and bad. Unfortunately, until now, we have not had formal communication and understanding, which is the only obstacle to greater mutual understanding that we are now in. We hope that Mr. Zhou will be a friend to the British people, not an adversary. ”

Zhou You laughed. "Your Excellency the Earl has won the prize, and I am just an ordinary person, and I am not qualified to be an opponent of Britain at all. I also hope that the two sides can enhance mutual trust and understanding and forge a cooperative friendship. ”

Although he was a little unconvinced by the British, Zhou You also had to admit that in today's world, although Britain has fallen from the throne of king, it is still one of the world's powers.

In last year's ranking of the world's economies, the United Kingdom ranked fourth in the world after the United States, Japan, and Germany. But if we talk about their political status, combined with their influence on Australia and Canada, they are firmly in second place in the world.

For such a world power, Zhou You is not qualified to be an opponent of others at all. When Stephen said this, it was nothing more than a tactical killing.

If you really want to deal with Zhou You, people only need to pass a few bills against him, and you can make it difficult for Zhou You to move an inch in the world, this is the ruthlessness of others.

Of course, a nation generally does not take individuals so seriously unless it has committed a heinous crime.

For example, Macridge, who is wanted for economic cases, is the top ten most wanted criminals in the United States, although he is protected by Spain, Switzerland, Israel and other countries, but he still does not dare to go abroad easily.

Those Colombian and Mexican drug lords who are wanted by the United States do not even dare to show their faces.

After the 911 incident last year, Uncle Lantern, who used to show up often, is now hiding in Tibet like a mouse, and has almost lost his freedom.

At any given time, the individual and the state are always incomparable.

Stephen smiled and asked, "Now that the Ranger has set sail, our destination is no longer a secret, right?" ”

Zhou You nodded and said, "I came to Your Excellency for this matter, but there is a lot of wind and waves here, so we might as well come to my room and talk about it." ”

Stephen laughed. "I'd love to see your lavish bedroom that has been touted by the media for a long time."

"It's just speculation from the media, and although my bedroom is a little bigger, it's still a lot worse than the suites on luxury cruise ships."

After some deliberation, the British side, led by Deputy Speaker Stephen, a total of seven people came to his room with Zhou You.

After taking a seat in the small conference room outside his bedroom, Feng Haijun helped turn on the projection system in the room. The slides that had been prepared were played one by one.

The first thing that catches everyone's eye is a chart of the North Atlantic Ocean, which is marked with two dotted lines, one red and one blue. Zhou You holds a laser flashlight in his hand, which creates a condensed ray of light that leaves a red dot on the screen.

"In 1744, the Victory was last seen in A Coruña, northwestern Spain. Since then, the Victory has disappeared from the world on its way back to England......" (To be continued. )
