He Chaoqiong understands very well that Zhou You is a person who eats soft rather than hard, so she quickly adjusted her emotions and said: "Jinsha and Xinhao have been a little too much recently because of some disputes over the construction of the casino, I hope Evan can ease the tension between the two sides from the middle." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info to know that stability is more important than everything. ”

Macao has gone from being a monopoly to now becoming a seven-nation rivalry, and friction between them will inevitably occur. In addition, both Sands and Xinhao have placed the construction of new casinos in the outlying island area, and the two sides are built opposite each other, so there will naturally be more dirt.

On the Sands side, due to the 100 security guards of the Zhou You faction, they did not suffer any losses in all the disputes, and these security guards, under the leadership of one of Cai Ajiu's nephews, quickly became famous in Macau, which made Xinhao suffer a lot.

He Chaoqiong's gambling card was obtained from Xinhao's hands, so at this time, she naturally stood on Xinhao's side and questioned Zhou Youxingshi.

Of course, Xing Shi asked whether the crime was fake, mainly because he wanted Zhou You to ease the tension between the two sides. After all, everyone is here to make money, not to be vindictive.

After dealing with Ho Chaoqiong, Zhou You called Otis, the general manager of Sands Macao, and made his attitude clear. "Our development in Macao must comply with the requirements of the government, and in the process of development, we will not cause trouble, but we should not be afraid of things."

As an outsider, Sands has been developing in a low-key manner, so how can it compete with other casinos. Therefore, if you want to rise, you must promote your name and let everyone know about Sands.

This middle will naturally have conflicts with other peers, and Zhou You knocked Otis this time, just so that he could grasp the proportions, and not use chicken feathers as an arrow to cause things out of control.

But he will not tie his hands and feet and make arrangements that harm himself and others, so he will never really implement He Chaoqiong's demands.

Before going down to eat, he first went to the control room on the fourth floor. The route that was planned yesterday is now only the last bit of distance. "How long will it take to get to your destination?"

Lin Jiapei looked at the clock on the wall and said, "It is estimated that it will take another hour and twenty-five minutes, boss, if you eat breakfast slowly, we will almost be there after eating." ”

Zhou You nodded, and when he left, he patted Bai Yancheng's arm, who was standing in front of the rudder. "You've all worked hard, and when you reach your destination, you have a day off and have a good rest."

Bai Yancheng said with a smile: "We just got on the boat yesterday, and we were full of motivation. ”

Zhou You laughed and said, "It's because of the bonus that I have the motivation!" ”

Everyone in the control room laughed.

If the Victory is indeed worth a billion dollars as recorded in history, Zhou can share 500 million dollars. According to the proportion of their crews, three percent of the $500 million is $15 million. And all the crew members combined, there are less than fifty people, even with the smallest distribution ratio, the ordinary crew can be allocated about two hundred thousand dollars, and several main responsible persons, each of whom can be allocated about five hundred thousand to one million.

200,000 US dollars, it only takes a month or two of hard work, and who is not impressed? The Yankees are rich, but the average income is only $30,000 a year, and two months of their work is worth six years of hard work for ordinary Americans, so who wouldn't be motivated?

At 9:15 a.m., the Ranger slowed down and finally came to a steady halt at the predetermined latitude and longitude point. Under the command of Lin Jiapei, the crew methodically began to lay down the underwater probe, the underwater camera, and after measuring the underwater environment, lowered the anchor and turned off the main engine.

It is located between England and Ireland in the Celtic Sea, and forms an equilateral triangle with Penzance in the southernmost part of England and Cork in southeastern Ireland.

And this location, the actual distance from the sinking site of the Royal Merchant is not more than a hundred kilometers. It is also for this reason that no one doubted that the British said that it was the Victory that was found when they were salvaging the Royal Merchant.

Almost all the guests were gathered in the activity room on the first floor, watching Lin Jiapei arrange his work seriously on the big screen. For outsiders, the main control room will definitely not be open to the public, whether it is the logbook or various materials along the way, it is confidential.

So, they can only wait here for first-hand information.

"Time: March 3, 2002, 9:15 a.m. GMT. Location: 8.8989 W longitude, 50.1663 North latitude. Weather: Sunny. Northwest winds of four to five degrees. The waves are 1.5 meters high. Water depth: minus 117 m to minus 125 m. The seabed is flat, with no dangerous holes, ravines, and no obvious undercurrents. The Ranger's systems are normal, please instruct. ”

Zhou You held the walkie-talkie in his hand and said: "Put down the speedboat, find out the specific underwater environment in an all-round way, look for suspected shipwrecks, and report in time if found." ”

"Yes!"

The image on the big screen has been changed from the control room to the camera, and although there is strong lighting, the underwater footage is still a little dim.

Stephen said in disbelief, "I really can't believe that the Victory could have deviated so far from the course and that it was almost to Ireland." ”

Zhou You smiled and comforted him and said: "More than two hundred years ago, if the Victory encountered a storm, fog, or a cloudy day, and there was no reference in the vast sea, it was also possible to come here. Don't be in a hurry, there will be results soon. ”

When both speedboats were lowered and three groups of men surveyed the underwater environment, the results were not long in coming.

There was no major mistake in Zhou You's memory, but the determination of latitude and longitude points was very accurate, and if he wanted to fix it within a range of twenty meters, he needed to remember the lowest seven or eight digits after the decimal point, and he only remembered about three or four digits, so the position where they were pausing now was more than three hundred meters away from the actual sinking site.

The Ranger's detection equipment found nothing, and it still relied on a moving speedboat to find the suspected wreckage of the Victory.

When the news came from the speedboat, everyone applauded enthusiastically.

After determining the location of the wreck, the Ranger slowly started again, and around that direction, laid shark nets around it, and finally stopped above the shipwreck.

The depth of 110 meters is a forbidden area for ordinary people, and without special training, ordinary people simply can't go that deep. Because the water pressure puts a lot of pressure on people's internal organs, including the eardrum.

But people who have undergone special training can generally descend to a depth of less than one hundred and fifty meters, and although the working time is not too long, they can do many things that are difficult for machines to do.

For example, some simple auxiliary work, although it can be done with robots, but it takes a lot of time, and some things that can be done in five minutes by using human labor, it may take half an hour to use robots. At this time, of course, it is more cost-effective to use manual.

Although it is winter and the water temperature in the North Atlantic Ocean is very low, sharks generally do not come to this shallow sea of only about 100 meters at this time, but it is necessary to be careful. Putting down the anti-shark net, at least it still has a certain effect.

The crew was busy with various preparations, but the eyes of the people in the recreation room were glued to the big screen, carefully watching the footage coming from the probing camera.

"Oh my God, there are so many bronze cannons, at least a dozen ......"

"Yes, it's covered in mud and sand, but it's certain that this is a sail battleship."

"It's an eight-pounder cannon, look at the pattern on it...... Hell, can't the camera stop for a moment! I haven't seen it clearly! ”

Stephen didn't pay attention to this, but asked a little nervously, "Professor Oates, based on the preservation of this ship's hull, do you think the bones of the crew will remain in it?" ”

Professor Oates, who was nearly two meters tall but was amazingly thin, shook his head and said, "Unless it is a person in the sealed cabin, these bones will rot, float, and even be eaten by fish before the hull is buried by the mud and sand." ”

Seeing the look of regret and disappointment on Stephen's face, he said with relief: "There will always be hope." ”

In fact, after more than two hundred years, even if there are still bones preserved, they are almost liquefied, and it is impossible to distinguish the identity. However, as long as the remains can be found, it will also be a relief for the descendants of the crew on this ship.

After two or three hours of overall surveying, the entire situation of the "suspected" Victory wreck has been surveyed. Due to the low depth of the water, the wreckage is not widely divided, but only within an area of about 0.5 square kilometers.

On the outside, there were a few cannons scattered around, and a random inventory showed that there were more than twenty of them. The cannons are scattered on the seabed to the south of the main wreckage of the ship, in fan-shaped divisions, and the wreck is the bottom fan handle.

Around the hull, there were two cameras filming from different angles, and with so many observers now, of course, they couldn't be as rough as when salvaging the Royal Merchant.

How to carry out salvage, you need to prepare all the materials, and then negotiate the best plan.

This kind of warship is much easier to salvage than the treasure ship, because the treasure ship is damaged, and the treasure on board may be everywhere. For example, in 2015, the Spanish treasure ship fleet found near Fort Pierce on the east coast of the United States, the treasures at that time were scattered in more than 500 square kilometers of water, attracting countless treasure hunters to salvage.

But this kind of large-scale salvage is only suitable for those individuals who are petty and troublesome, because the chance of finding a large number of treasures is very slim, and it takes countless time and energy, and even more patience.

Therefore, although Zhou You knew that there were treasures worth hundreds of millions there, he never had the idea of fighting there, because using the Ranger to salvage was equivalent to using a cannon to fight mosquitoes, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Including the San Jose, which was later discovered, the ship was also seriously damaged in its hull, causing the treasures on board to drift everywhere in the water, scattered in more than 50 square kilometers of water, and the local water depth exceeded 1,000 meters, so Colombia had no ability to salvage.
