Chapter 92: The Octopus's Nest
As long as Yu You and Meng Tian have time, they will contact their families by phone, Internet and other channels in the evening to report the latest situation, so that they can feel at ease, no matter how busy they are, they always want to be safe.
The next day, Li Bai-Johansen waited at the door early, Meng Tian couldn't help but laugh a few words, and said in Chinese: "Your Excellency Li Bai Shixian, why are you so dark?" ”
"Hostess, have you eaten?"
"That's what you're going to say?"
"Boss, you are so beautiful!"
"That's pretty much ......"
Yu You looked at the trend of the two of them playing the piano against the cow, so he beckoned Li Bai to go driving, he was still busy enough this morning.
After arriving at the company, Meng Tian asked the staff responsible for following up the follow-up progress of the British shipwreck silver salvage project, and got the recent salvage process of Poseidon Company and the attitude of the British government, and came to the office to report the situation to Yu You.
"Haha, as I expected, Poseidon who claims to have the world's first-class deep-sea salvage technology has nothing to do, and the British government wants to get this batch of silver, if it doesn't look for us, it can only stare dryly." In history, many ships carrying precious treasures sank on the bottom of the sea for some reasons, and few people salvaged them due to the constraints of many objective conditions, and the British government also considered this and chose to invite professional salvage companies to carry out operations.
Poseidon's defeat was a fatal blow to the British government, because even Poseidon, who has the most advanced deep-sea salvage equipment, could not salvage it, so who else in the world could salvage so much silver from the seabed at a depth of up to 4,700 meters?
Isn't that a fantasy? Meng Tian may have thought of this, so he said: "Ah You, Poseidon is just slow in exploration and salvage, not completely incapable of salvage, and may still be estimating the cost......"
"And even if Poseidon doesn't have the ability to salvage, we ......" Meng Tian added another concern, feeling that it seems that the Dragon Company doesn't seem to have any high-tech that can compare to Poseidon, right?
Yu You didn't want to explain too much, so he said in a big way: "Tiantian, just leave everything to me, you continue to follow up on this project, if necessary, reply to the British government by email, You Long Company intends to continue to negotiate." ”
"Okay, I got it." Although Meng Tian was puzzled, since Yu You said so, he naturally chose to believe him.
The British government's salvage project has returned to the beginning stage, the difference is that this time they can no longer rely on Poseidon, so Youlong Company occupies the initiative, because this is the only choice of the British government now, although it may still be skeptical of the deep-sea salvage company from China, but there is no choice, only to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
A few weeks later, the deep-sea salvage equipment of the sea vessel 1000 was ready, and the people from the Ministry of Oceanography also salvaged with the ship. Nothing is wrong? ”
"Everything is ready, boss, you can rest assured." Hu Maocai swears that the main thing installed this time is to extend to the seabed towing chain, the reinforced steel synthetic material chain can not be deformed under high pressure, and the four hook chains can extend to the seabed for thousands of meters.
Just hang these four hooks from the hull of the ship, and the winch horsepower is enough to tow them, and there are many specially customized equipment for deep-sea salvage.
After greeting the crew to board the boat, Li Bai also came to join in the fun, and said in English: "Boss, I want to get on the boat too!" ”
"Alright, come up!" Yu You pulled Li Bai up, as a black man, he was quite liked by the crew, he always used his half-hung Chinese to chat with the guys in the Ministry of Oceans, and made a lot of jokes.
This time, the master consultant with the ship did not show up, and asked Yu You for a few days off, as if he was going to Jiaotong University to study the prehistoric shark with the professor, and the promised 10 million shark purchase money has also been remitted to the company's account, so that Yu You's liquidity can improve a lot.
You must know that although the book is more than 50 million, in fact, most of the money can not be moved, the balance of the dragon has not been settled clearly, if it is used indiscriminately, there is no money to pay at that time, the dragon is detained, I don't know how long it will take to deliver the ship.
Now there are 10 million more, so the book is 60 million, and the money from Bart has also been paid, and the finance department has also remitted seven or eight million cod money to Min Hang, the ship boss in Zhejiang Province.
Shen Bing drove the sea ship 1000 to the predetermined direction, it is estimated that it will take more than ten hours to arrive, they set off in the afternoon, so they can carry out exploration tasks in the morning to find out the specific location of the wreck.
After sailing for more than two hours or so, Li Bai, who had been smiling hippie, couldn't stand it anymore and vomited several times, Yu You patted him on the back and made him a little more comfortable.
"Li Bai, why are you still seasick?" I came to live in China for a while, and the symptoms of water and soil adaptation were improved, but I forgot that I had never been on a boat.
Li Bai Johansen said apologetically: "Boss, I, I don't know why I got seasick?" ”
"Okay, you go and take a break, don't get on the boat in the future, and be your driver."
"Don't mind! I'm just dizzy, just get used to it. ”
Not to mention Johansen's recent rapid progress in Chinese, it is estimated that he often communicates with people in Chinese that he is not proficient in, no matter what language is spoken, if he does not say it because he is afraid of being ridiculed by others, then how can he improve? Li Bai, a black man, is not afraid of jokes, he is thick-skinned, and he is becoming more and more proficient in Mandarin.
Johansen returned to the cabin to rest, and Yu swam on the deck to see dozens of dolphins with their dorsal fins exposed, escorting the ship 1000 in a neat queue.
The shadow of a huge "sea snake" appeared on the surface of the sea, Yu You couldn't help but whistle a few times, let the Dolphin Army and Xiaohuang dive to the bottom of the sea, and now they haven't reached the deep sea, the shallow sea is too ostentatious, and it is not good to be photographed by other people on the ship.
This time to lead Xiaobai, Xiaohuang they to participate in the salvage mission, the most important thing is to rely on them to explore the specific problem of the wreck, the depth of the kilometer or less, to use professional submersibles, Poseidon used the "deep-sea fish unmanned submarine" is extremely expensive, the sea ship 1000 is not equipped with this kind of equipment at all, the dragon has one, but it has not yet been delivered!
Therefore, the heavy responsibility of exploration was handed over to Xiaobai, and after determining the specific location of the wreck, Yu You would dive into the sea.
It was already 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning after arriving at the sea area predicted on the data, everyone was asleep, and Li Amao was on duty, Yu You fell asleep early in the morning, because his task was heavier, and only he could dive into the deep sea this time, and others could not dive into such a deep sea at all.
And how to explain this problem, Yu You boils down to the dolphin, he only plays the role of command, and the crew is not surprised, the dolphin full of spirituality has always been a good friend of humans, Yu You can communicate with the dolphin through sound, and professional trainers can also do it, so it can explain why Yu You can explore in the deep sea without the help of high-tech diving equipment.
In the morning, everyone got up and was busy grooming and tidying up housekeeping, after all the trivial things were done, after breakfast, Yu You stood on the deck, heard Xiaobai's dolphin sound, and made sure that they had found the specific location of the wreck, so they put on diving suits and oxygen cylinders, and always had to be loaded.
"Lao Zhao, are the four high-intensity nets ready?" After Yu You finished speaking, Zhao Zhongren brought four packed special net bags, each net can withstand a huge force, one for each hook chain, and every time Yu You can pull out many treasures at the bottom of the sea.
Yu You threw four large packages to the bottom of the sea, and after diving into the sea, he tied these packages to other dolphins, and after riding Xiaobai, he dived into the deep sea at a very fast speed, and the four hook chains on his back were pulled out one by one, connecting the connection between Yu You and the people on the boat.
Yu You, who approached the shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty step by step, was still a little excited, this was the first time he salvaged a ship in Chinese history, imagining that the ancients drove a wooden boat to ride the wind and waves, what kind of scene was it!
In the midst of emotion, the line of sight gradually became clear, and when we reached the bottom of the sea at a depth of thousands of meters, a decaying wooden boat appeared in front of you.
"This ship is so big, judging from the frame of the keel, it should be about 20 meters long!" Cai Lifan's so-called salvage hull regardless of the cost, in fact, it is a trick, so many years of ancient wooden ships, sunk to the bottom of the sea, this to be salvaged, it should be all sawdust, can not be salvaged at all, the so-called touch will be broken, how can it withstand the huge pulling force?
When Yu You was still observing the ancient shipwreck that maintained its sinking posture, Xiaobai suddenly became restless.
"What's wrong? Xiaobai! In a trance, Yu You saw several tentacles stretched out from inside the wreck! A huge tentacle enveloped Xiaobai, grabbed Xiaobai and the rest of the dolphins! You must know that the length of these dolphins is 5 meters away, and Xiaobai is almost 10 meters long, so he caught the dolphin so easily, which shows how powerful the owner of the tentacle is.
"No, there are giant octopuses here?" Yu You is a little uncertain, but judging from the style of the tentacles, it is indeed an octopus.
Could it be that this wreck is the nest of an octopus?
So far, the octopus has not appeared, but eight tentacles have stretched out from the inside of the wreck, as if to destroy all the enemies that come to attack! One of his tentacles is at least 15 meters long, and it can hold down creatures 20 times larger than himself, and its strength can be imagined.
Judging from the tentacles, the weight of this octopus should be around 2 tons, this kind of octopus should not be surprising if it appears in the depths of the Pacific Ocean or Norwegian waters, but this is 50 nautical miles northwest of the coast, and such a large octopus can appear in the sea area at a depth of 1,000 meters?
At the last moment, Yu You single-handedly went deep into the wreck, intending to get a glimpse of the true face of the giant octopus.
