Chapter 254: Salvage begins

Ye Ning heard a lot of useful information from Li Ruiyao through the Imperial Dragonfly, and he could basically determine the approximate location of the Awa Maru.

With this information, it is basically enough, the water depth, visibility, marine life interference, and other factors that ordinary salvage teams have to consider are not a matter for Ye Ning, and there are three major ocean clones that still need to worry about these? Therefore, Ye Ning did not continue to investigate seriously, but just devoted a little of his mind to the Emperor Dragonfly, continued to monitor Li Ruiyao and the others, and most of the rest of his mind was on cultivating the sperm whale branch.

It took a day and a half to successfully cultivate the sperm whale to the middle stage of qi training, and opened the beast palace, awakened the ability, and became an evolved beast.

Ye Ning didn't stop for a moment, and immediately controlled the sperm whale to take the octopus and swordfish to the wreck site of the Awa Maru, that is, the sea area east of Fu-Jian-Province-Ping-Tan-County-Niu-Mountain-Island, and the location he heard from Li Ruiyao was more specific, of course, he only knew a rough idea, after all, Ye Ning did not have ships and equipment, so he could not locate it accurately.

After arriving at the approximate location, Ye Ning controlled the sperm whale to release sonar detection, the ability of the sperm whale awakening is the sonar ability, mainly manifested in detection and attack, first in detection, in the past, it can only detect things in the distance, the sonar penetrates the silt stone at a distance of no more than five meters, but now it penetrates the silt stone more than 100 meters, and secondly, in the attack, the previous sonar attack was limited, and now it is more than 100 times stronger, and how powerful it is has to be tested to know.

"Click"

The sonar spreads, perceiving through the sperm whale receiving echoes.

This detection method may not be as fine as the ultrasonic echolocation of the bat Blackie, but the range is much farther. Capable of direct detection at a distance of 10 km. In the game, it can be said that the bat is far away. The sperm whale is the loudest animal on the planet.

"Found it!"

Ye Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, and he controlled the sperm whale to swim quickly in one direction, and the octopus clone and the swordfish clone naturally followed forward.

After a while, I saw a huge shipwreck at the bottom of the sea, and in the face of such a behemoth, even the sperm whale had to bow down, of course, strictly speaking, I saw half of it, and I saw that this huge ship was broken in two from under the bridge. The bow of the ship is located in the southeast direction, the stern is located in the northwest direction, most of which the bow is sunk under at least 10,000 cubic meters of silt, if it is on land, then it may not be difficult to remove these silt, at least it takes some big work, but here is the bottom of the sea, there is a kind of seawater, pressure and other unfavorable factors, just down to salvage it is difficult, and it is not easy to remove the silt?

"Hope to find the baby."

Ye Ning was excited. First, control the sperm whale to use sonar to probe under the silt.

Although the wreck has been seen, the wreck is too big. There is so much silt that it is too difficult to remove the silt and salvage the shipwreck, so it is best to probe first to confirm which locations are more likely to have treasures, and then focus on excavation.

In addition to the need for state approval, there is also a major reason for the difficulty of salvage, you must know that marine salvage itself is to consume manpower and material resources, so large-scale salvage is millions of millions, that is to say, even if some treasures are salvaged, it may not be able to earn back the capital, and there is a high possibility that the treasure will not be fished, so there is no doubt that it will be a big loss.

"There's a lot of space under the silt, and I don't know if the rumored forty tons of gold exist."

Ye Ning pondered while probing, in the previous salvage operations, no gold storage was found, and not a single gold or two was found. This is still a mystery at the moment, and it has caused a lot of speculation from the outside world. Although various sources of information indicate that Awa Maru was indeed loaded with gold and other valuables, it is unknown how it disappeared. There are several theories: some people say that the Japanese installed a self-detonation device in the wheelhouse, and when the Awa Maru was torpedoed, seeing that the general trend had gone, in order to prevent the gold from falling into the hands of the enemy, the Japanese captain pressed the self-detonation button, and the box containing the gold was blown to pieces, which is also the reason why the Awa Maru was broken in two from under the bridge; Some people say that there is no gold on the Awa Maru; Others say that the gold has been buried under the mud, but it has not been found.

Ye Ning didn't know that kind of statement was correct, of course he hoped that it was the third one, if the gold was really buried underneath, then even if he turned this place upside down, he would have to dig it out, forty tons of gold was enough for Ye Ning to spend it in his life.

Ye Ning roughly probed the bottom of the silt through the sonar of the sperm whale, and knew the general layout of the shipwreck under the silt below, but unfortunately the sonar detection of the sperm whale could not be very fine, so it was impossible to detect whether there was gold in detail, and could only roughly estimate the possibility of gold in those locations.

Ye Ning's consciousness turned to the octopus clone, and then controlled the octopus clone to drill under the silt, yes, Ye Ning did not plan to remove the silt, but planned to drill down directly, the silt removal project is too big, and the speed is not fast enough, just remove a layer, the current will immediately cover the silt again, which is equivalent to doing useless work, rather than removing these silt, it is better to drill down directly.

Octopuses are not experts in drilling silt, but according to the detection of sperm whales, they can directly find the shortest and easiest route to dig, and Xiaohong has great strength and good flexibility, and it is not very difficult to drill under the silt, plus there is vitality support, which can minimize breathing and will not be suffocated.

Even so, it took more than two hours to get into a cabin, which was basically filled with silt.

Ye Ning searched the entire cabin and found some scattered tin, tungsten and other metals, it seems that this cabin has been salvaged a long time ago, maybe there was no other silt here back then, but it was slowly covered over time, although these scattered metals are worth so much money, but a ton is not in Ye Ning's attention, Ye Ning is here to fish for treasures, not to pick up scrap copper and rotten iron.

Ye Ning changed a cabin and continued to hunt for treasure, it was easy to say, but in fact, it was so difficult to change the cabin under the mud, it was almost exhausting Xiaohong to death, of course, the sperm whale was still continuing to detect, planning the route, and the swordfish was useless for the time being, so he let it patrol and detect nearby.

In the blink of an eye, it was two days, during which Ye Ning caught a few ceramic crafts, which seemed to be quite valuable, but unfortunately only one was intact, and the rest were more or less damaged, and various metals such as aluminum and titanium were also found, but the number was not large, and they seemed to have been salvaged and fell.

In general, Ye Ning made about two or three hundred thousand dollars, which was naturally very unsatisfactory to him.

"Huh? This is? ”

Ye Ning controlled the wrist of the octopus clone, and suddenly touched a smooth hard object, and when he caught it in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up. (To be continued......)
