1084. The Ship of Gold Found

The riots in Somalia were a few years ago, and now the situation is not so bad, at least the whole of Mogadishu is under the control of government forces.

However, there is still a sense of war on the streets, there are soldiers standing guard and patrolling every once in a while, there are no traffic lights in the city, because there is no need for it, there are constantly soldiers coming up to check the identity of the car, driving from the airport to the dock, and the Humvee driven by Bird has been checked more than ten times.

Compared to the airport, the discipline of these soldiers turned out to be very good, Qin Shiou once felt that they were delaying the investigation, so he took out a hundred dollars and handed it to the soldiers, but they waved their hands and didn't ask for it.

Bird explained to him: "These soldiers are all recruits trained with the help of the United Nations, and the instructors are made up of American, German, Chinese and Russian soldiers, and they have strict discipline requirements. If it was before, then you don't have to pay for it yourself, the soldiers of the government army will help you clear your wallet. ”

When he arrived at the dock, as soon as he got out of the car, Qin Shiou heard a crisp sound of 'crackling' not far away, and he was now playing with guns every day, and immediately judged that this was a gunshot, and it was a small-caliber assault rifle firing.

So, he subconsciously hid behind the Humvee, and the black knife pulled him up and shook his head, saying, "This is someone celebrating something, right?" The muzzle of the gun is obviously fired at the sky, so don't be afraid if you don't hear a 'whoosh' sound, only a 'whoosh' sound means that someone is shooting in your direction. ”

The other GIs looked indifferent, although they emphasized that when they were mercenaries in the past, they were only small soldiers and rarely went to battle, but looking at this is obviously not the case, these guys have all seen the world.

There is an old-fashioned fishing boat on the pier. Bird came by boat.

The inside of the Humvee was clean, but it was different when he got into the fishing boat, and Bird opened the storage box as soon as he got on the boat. There were a dozen AK-74s neatly lined up inside, and in the other storage box were yellow-orange-orange bullets, as if there was going to be a war.

The GIs picked up an AK one by one, pulled the bolt with a 'click' sound, and the bullets were directly loaded and the safety was open, so Qin Shiou was a little frightened: "Isn't it, you need to be so nervous?" ”

"Mogadishu is very safe," Bird said. Even petty theft is rare, and the sea is different, and the sins are transferred to the sea. So we have to be ready, if there is a channel, I plan to purchase the last batch of rockets. ”

Sure enough, the fishing boat drove out. The deeper you go, the more ships you have. There were also large fishing boats and yachts parked on the sea, and the fishing boats drove by, and Qin Shiou could see that the guards on the boats were armed to the teeth.

"These are gambling boats, drug boats, yellow boats, black market boats, and illegal business on land is now in it. Moreover, many of these ships turn into pirate ships at night and rob each other. Black Knife introduced.

Qin Shiou was surprised: "It's so messy? ”

BB Frost laughed: "Four years ago, when we were here, there was chaos, the government army and the youth army fought every day, and the city was in chaos. At that time, as long as you had a gun in your hand, you could take whatever you wanted. If you like which woman you want, you can snatch it directly. ”

Qin Shiou has never seen this kind of scene, he was still in China four years ago, but there is not much news about the civil war in Somalia in China, and I don't know that it will be chaotic like this.

However, what Bird and the others said was only an extreme situation, they left the dock and drove for several hours to get to the vicinity of the salvage boat, during which they encountered many boats, but there were no conflicts, the sea was calm, and some locals rowed small boats to sell food.

To Qin Shiou's surprise, the food sold by these people turned out to be Chinese, of course, mainly halal, because Somalia is a Muslim country.

After arriving at the titular scientific research ship, as soon as Qin Shiou got on the boat, Billy gave him a bear hug and said happily: "Professor Qin, hello, you are finally here!" ”

Professor Qin? Qin Shiou was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Dr. Billy, long time no see, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

There was a black man on the deck of the ship, and when he heard their name, the black man said with some admiration: "God, you people are amazing, you are so young that you are doctors and professors and so on, it is amazing." ”

Billy introduced Qin Shiou that this black man was naturally sent by the Somali government to spy on them, and his name was very long, so Qin Shiou remembered the nickname, just like a football superstar, called Abu.

Qin Shiou brought fresh hot food to the ship, Billy and the others were ecstatic, and the black man named Abu ran back to his room directly with a large plate of chicken, locked the door and tasted it himself.

Looking at the happy expressions of a group of people when they ate the vegetables, Qin Shiou smiled and said, "It's too exaggerated, right?" ”

Billy gobbled up and said, "It's not an exaggeration, we haven't eaten fresh vegetables for a long time, damn it, we only go to the shore once a week, try to keep a low profile, I usually live on sea fish and the like, I eat seafood and vomit!" ”

The word seafood is similar to greasy fat for people who live at sea all year round.

After a few quick bites, Billy glanced at Qin Shiou and said in a low voice: "We have done a submarine terrain survey, and the Francisco Pizarro is here, about ten kilometers due north, contact your pet, and quickly get a piece of ore while Abu is away." ”

The shipwreck carrying gold ore was the Francisco Pizarro, a Spanish galleon launched during the Age of Discovery, one of the largest Spanish transport ships of the time.

Francisco Pizarro was an illiterate Spanish adventurer, conquistador of the Peruvian Inca Empire, who inaugurated the Spanish conquest of South America and was the founder of Lima, the capital of modern Peru. In the Age of Discovery, which had no moral values, this man was the pride of Spain.

But from a modern point of view, this is a true villain, a butcher, a killer, a hateful slave trader.

Qin Shiou was not interested in studying Francisco Pizarro, he only had a general understanding of the shipwreck, and then put the Poseidon consciousness into the water.

With Billy's information, it was very simple for Qin Shiou to find the wreck, and as soon as the Seagod Consciousness almost entered the water and controlled the waters of the seabed, he saw the huge ship that was already in tatters.

The Francisco Pizarro is a multi-masted transport ship, but because it is transporting heavy cargo such as ore, it is almost shattered after hitting the bottom of the sea during the sinking process, and Qin Shiou can't see its original appearance clearly.

Many parts of the wreck have decayed, the hull is crawling with small conchs, some algae have settled on the ship, and the raging undercurrents of hundreds of years have brought a lot of mud, and the wreck is almost completely buried, as if it had grown from the bottom of the sea.
