Chapter 8: The Shipwreck
It's okay to say it's the China Sea, but it's okay to say it's the high seas?
It's a contradiction.
After Ma San's explanation, Shen Rui understood that the sea is no better than the land, and how each country divides its territory is simply a confused account, assuming that according to the maritime convention, 12 nautical miles close to the mainland is considered the territorial sea of each country, and the territorial sea extends 200 nautical miles outward, which is regarded as the exclusive economic zone of each country, and the exclusive economic zone belongs to the high sea.
But the interesting part is that not everyone recognizes the maritime conventions, for example, the United States does not recognize any maritime conventions.
Besides, even if everyone admits it, there are still ways for countries to play hooligans, you have to start from the land that is out of the water, and I have to start from the continental shelf under the water, and he wants to count the islands as part of the continent.
All in all, Sea World is a gibberish, why is China in tension with countries like Vietnam, the Philippines and the like in the South China Sea? It's a matter of site division.
In recent years, there have often been Chinese fishing boats on the high seas, but they were captured by North Korean warships for ransom, and the reason is very simple.
It can be seen that there are rules in this sea matter, but in fact, it is still the law of the jungle, it depends on whose patrol boat is more and more powerful, you can control this sea area is yours, if you can't control it, don't blame people for running to your territory for a walk.
Our country has done a good job in this regard, and now Shen Rui's place where they stopped their ships is more than 212 nautical miles from the shore, which is said to be the high seas, but if a Japanese ship comes to this place, the Chinese coast guard will definitely expel it.
Don't talk about the high seas, that thing is useless, even if it doesn't blow you away, it's not a joke to set up a rapid-fire cannon to stare at you at close range.
So this sea area is still the world of Chinese ships, if you want to do something in this sea area, it is more reliable to hire a Chinese ship with a five-star red flag, Nomura Toshiki and his gang just know the twists and turns, so they found Ma San and Shen Rui.
"It's already afternoon, and it's unlikely that they'll venture to the sea at night today, and they'll have to wait for tomorrow, they're a little tired, so I'll go to the cabin and sleep first." Shen Rui said to Ma San.
"Okay, there are me and Lao Pan on the boat, go to sleep when you are sleepy, and I will call you if you have something." Ma San waved his hand.
In fact, Shen Rui was not really sleepy, but wanted to manipulate Xiaoba to go to the sea to hunt for treasure in advance while these Japanese were not ready, anyway, the gold was lying under the sea, who would find it first.
The crew lounge and the cargo compartment were next to each other, and when Shen Rui passed by the cargo hold, he saw that the hatch was not completely closed, and a crack flashed.
Shen Rui was slightly stunned, his eyes were on the crack of the door and he looked at it, good guy! These Japanese are really moving, there are large electronic charts hanging in the hold, current monitors report the speed of ocean currents and wind and waves, in addition to this, they also prepare diving artifacts! Fully closed-loop underwater breathing system!
Regarding the fully closed loop underwater breathing system, Shen Rui had only seen pictures on the forum in the past, and this was the first time he had seen a real guy.
This kind of diving artifact costs as much as 30,000 or 40,000 US dollars a set, and the world is equipped with super elite regiments like the Navy SEALs, and ordinary people may not even have heard of it.
Scuba diving is now the mainstream of the global diving community, and the frogman on TV jumps into the sea with one or two air bottles on his back to play with the fish, which is scuba diving.
The gas in the air bottle helps the diver to breathe, exhale, and then exhale the exhaust gas into the water, and you can see a string of white flowers and bubbles rising from the side of the diver, which is very beautiful, and most of the world's dives are like this.
But the fully enclosed respiratory system is completely different, a person cannot breathe in the water, and the fully enclosed respiratory system can produce its own air for the diver to breathe.
With a fully enclosed breathing system, the diver does not release any blisters, as the exhaust air enters the back air circulation device, where the carbon dioxide is filtered out and re-produced into fresh air for the diver to breathe.
The average diver carries an oxygen cylinder on his back, while a diver with a fully enclosed breathing system carries a complete set of air filtration devices, and the all-metal structure of the machine is like a thick turtle shell, full of mystery.
If you compare the two types of diving, you will find that the fully enclosed respiratory system is much more powerful than the usual scuba diving.
The first is the dive time, experienced divers can use a single oxygen tank to stay underwater for about 25 minutes, while inexperienced divers have to surface in 20 minutes at most due to panic underwater, rapid heartbeat, and large gulps of air.
As a result, even the most experienced divers, carrying heavy dioxygen tanks, can stay underwater for up to 50 minutes, and the dive time decreases as the depth increases.
Divers with a fully enclosed breathing system can easily stay under the sea for up to three hours!
Since the fully enclosed respiratory system does not need to emit exhaust gases, there is no sound underwater, and even those dangerous fish will not attract their attention.
One, two, three, four, five, six, Shen Rui silently counted in his heart, these people in Nomura brought six sets of diving artifacts alone, worth nearly 300,000 US dollars!
Add to that underwater metal detectors, deep-sea handheld radars, underwater communication devices, underwater propulsion motors, and a few other equipment, and the total value is quite amazing!
"What are you looking at!?"
Shen Rui was surprised that the other party's equipment was so advanced, and he didn't want to be reprimanded by He Yang, the translator hiding in the corner, don't look at him as if he was very familiar with Nomura, in fact, he was not qualified to enter the warehouse, but was left outside, but He Yang was worthy of loyalty, and when he found that Shen Rui was peeking, he immediately stood up.
Syllable~
He Yang closed the hatch menacingly, and his body blocked in front of Shen Rui.
Shen Rui didn't say anything, turned around and came to the crew lounge, closed the door, and connected his nervous system to Xiao Ba.
From the moment the ship started, Xiao Ba had been lying under the iron-hulled ship, almost asleep, and at this moment, when he got Shen Rui's signal, his two big black eyes opened suddenly, and his eight arms broke away from the bottom of the boat and swam towards the dark bottom of the boat.
According to the location mark of the boat, Shen Rui judged that what Nomura was looking for should be within a radius of three kilometers, so he planned to use the anchorage of the fishing boat as the location mark, and launched a circular search, with a radius of 100 meters.
Nomura they have a diving artifact, so what?
Shen Rui has a big killer in the ocean!
Don't look at the little eight heads are not tall, they won't grow long when they grow to two meters and one three, but they can't stand this guy!
It is said that Europeans and Americans grew up drinking milk, so they are stronger than the Chinese, and Xiao Hachi, who grew up eating more than two million kilowatt-hours of electricity, is simply strong to the extent of metamorphosis, and the water pressure or something is not difficult for Xiao Hachi, and the eight tentacles slashed hard, and suddenly ran out dozens of meters away.
The depth of this sea area is more than 80 meters, which is basically the limit of divers, although the diving world record is 330 meters, but that depth is not something that everyone can do, not to mention the horror of decompression sickness, a careless blood vessel will burst all over the body!
The situation on the seabed is somewhat complicated, with hills composed of black hard rock, and the sea water is turbid and dark, and the realization is extremely poor.
Fortunately, Xiao Ba also had another perception system in addition to vision, and soon Shen Rui found an anomaly about six or seven hundred meters away from the center point, which was the wreck of a cargo ship of about 1,000 tons, most of the hull was buried under the mud and sand, only the tail of the ship was exposed, and it took some effort to distinguish the wreck from the surrounding hills.
Shen Rui was overjoyed, and was about to urge Hachi to get closer, when suddenly, a bright light shot out of the sea, and at the same time, it was the sound of an electric motor spinning.
"Going to sea so soon?"
Shen Rui was stunned, these Japanese really couldn't wait, ignoring the fact that it was about to get dark, and took the risk to start the underwater exploration work.
