What about credibility? You have to know that you have no credit with pirates - why should these people trust you? ”

"I'm going to focus on Shi 14. Then connect the others through him. ”

"I can't agree, there's almost no success rate."

"Yes." Lin Baiguang is obviously confident.

Ran Yao still felt uncertain - in his opinion, Lin Baiguang's full set of jihua took a great risk, and only people who firmly believed that he had the "aura of the protagonist" would do it.

"I will meet the opportunity to act, and there is no 100 percent success rate in the enemy's work." He stood his mind.

"Okay, I'll ask you a question." Ran Yao said, "If Zhu Cai asks you to tell you the origin of the Australians, tell the secrets of the big iron ship and the clipper, or some other sensitive questions like that, how are you going to answer?" ”

"According to the Prisoner's Handbook, of course." The handbook, initiated by Ma Qianzhu, has now been revised to its seventh edition under the auspices of the General Administration of Political Security, and has been enriched with various details on the original framework, as well as many indigenous anecdotes about them, making it more and more credible.

"If he doesn't believe it, to put it more terrifyingly, he's going to torture him to extract a confession-" Ran Yao observed his reaction, "Can you insist?" ”

"The two countries are at war with each other. Moreover, I am the representative of the negotiation - since he asks for it, we will not do such a thing. Lin Baiguang said with confidence.

"Okay." Ran Yao agreed, "I approve you to go." But you have to know that there is a great chance that you will die at the hands of pirates......"

"I know that."

"It's very likely that you will be killed by them as soon as you arrive on Nanri Island, and you won't even have a chance to speak."

"Then I'm unlucky."

Ran Yao wants to say that when it comes to this, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

"Do you need any more support? Radio stations, weapons...... Or ask for the cooperation of the navy, army, and special reconnaissance team......"

"No, you don't. Asking the military to cooperate only makes coordination more difficult. I can't hide the radio in my pocket either. Pistols, out of thousands of people, are not the same thing - if something happens, even if I am given an AK, I will not be able to kill it. ”

This kid is very open-minded. But it can also be seen that he is ambitious.

After Lin Baiguang left, Ran Yao called Wen Desi, chairman of the executive committee. Jihua, who had just reported Lin Baiguang, was interrupted by Wen Desi:

"This matter is directly responsible for your General Administration of Political Security. Details do not have to be reported. I'll greet you guys when it comes to things that need to be coordinated. ”

Ran Yao put down the phone and pondered the words of De Hei for a few minutes. Then I started to draft the Jihua implementation outline for the banyan work.

Shi 14 was a little hesitant when he heard that the Australians refused to accept the boss's conditions directly, but wanted to send someone directly to Nanri Island to talk to Zhucai Lao, but he still agreed. Ma Qianzhu's judgment is good, and the other party is indeed in urgent need of assistance now.

"You are going to see the great masters, and I will not stop you. But you have to figure it out: he's been angry lately. You guys him a lot last year, and you may not have your good fruit to eat at that time. "Shi 14 has established a basic friendship with Lin Baiguang in the past few days.

"I'm going to talk to the big bosses, and he won't do anything to me. At that time, I will have to rely on your big brother Shi for more guidance. ”

"As long as my brother can help, I will do my best!" Shi Shishi patted his chest.

Promises are no longer important in another time and space, but in this time and space, Lin Baiguang believes that they are still valuable.

"That's right, it's a modern fishing boat." Zhou Weisen climbed onto the deck of the research ship, pulled off the snorkeling mask on his face, and said breathlessly.

"It's a lot of fun." Bai Guoshi's face was solemn.

Several of the men on the sampan did not say a word. At low tide they had already carefully studied it with a sampan kao near mast. Welds and nuts were found on it. Except for Lingao, there are no traces of electric welding on anything made on this plane. Zhou Weisen just confirmed it again.

"What ship?"

"It looks like an American distant-water fishing vessel." Zhou Weisen said to Lin Chuanqing, "The appearance and structure are similar, and the number of the ship is not clear, as if it has been worn off." ”

"This can't be, the number of the ship is very important-" Lin Chuanqing suddenly stopped, he remembered that when he was the head of the snake to engage in smuggling, the number of the ship he used was also deliberately made unclear.

In this way, the origin of this ship is really unknown.

"Is there anything on board, have you entered the cabin?"

"There were four or five meters down there, and the boat was sinking right on the reef. But it's too dangerous to get into the cabin with snorkeling gear. Zhou Weisen shook his head. Scuba diving is a gotta given. ”

Exploring the interior of a wreck is a very professional activity in the sport of diving. Zhou Weisen is a veteran diver, although he has never done wreck diving, he is still confident to try a small fishing boat at a depth of four or five meters. But the equipment is not very competitive.

Zhou Weisen personally and the Planning Commission have diving equipment in their warehouses. From the simplest snorkeling to the most common scuba diving, all the way to the clumsy reloading of diving gear. In addition to the eight gas cylinders of different sizes brought by Zhou Weisen himself, there are several large and small compressed gas cylinders in the warehouse of the Planning Commission, which are enough for diving.

The traverser does not have the ability to produce oxygen-nitrogen mixtures, but ordinary compressed air dives can handle diving at depths of up to 70 meters. The manufacture of compressed air is not a problem for the CWI.

Zhou Weisen just used the snorkeling equipment to directly hold his breath to investigate. He was only underwater for two or three minutes. It's not easy to see what kind of ship it is.

"You rest, I'll go down this time. Scuba diving. Lin Chuanqing said.

"Sharks are up again!" Gao Xiaosong noticed that there were more than a dozen sharks cruising in the clear water, "You have to wear shark suits." ”

The sharks, driven away by shark repellents, slowly began to cruise through the atolls again. Didn't care about the fast sailing ship off Dongsha Island. He even began to travel around them constantly.

"Tell you not to throw garbage into the sea, you bunch of garbage!" Lin Chuanqing scolded the indigenous sailors on the ship in a mixture of Hokkien and English.

"I think it's safer for us to go down together. Multiple cares. "Sharks are not a big problem, I looked at the fact that there are no aggressive sharks here." Just to be on the safe side, it's time to put a pack of shark repellent powder. ”

"It's okay, just a few sharks swimming."

Lin Chuanqing said that it was okay, but in fact, he was very weak in his heart. Sharks are always a tingling thing on the scalp, not to mention swimming right next to you.

They went down to the cabin and took out two sets of scuba diving equipment from inside, both of which Zhou Weisen had brought by himself, and there were several sets in the warehouse of the Planning Commission. Wear it over a wetsuit. This thing is quite bulky to wear, Zhou Weisen thought about it again and again and decided not to wear this thing, the space inside the wreck is small, and it will be miserable if it is hung up.

Lin Chuanqing was not as calm as him, but he still put on this thing, and in addition, he also brought the ropes and net bags necessary for wreck diving, the latter is used to get things.

"If there really is anything, use this," Zhou Weisen gave Lin Chuanqing a powerful diving speargun, propelled by carbon dioxide gas, with an effective range of 20 meters, "It's best not to use it as a last resort." ”

Zuihou is a diving knife per person as a personal protection. The two agreed that Zhou Weisen would enter the cabin, and Lin Chuanqing would be in charge of guarding outside.

"Okay, let's go!"

The yellow shark repellent powder thrown into the sea gradually dispersed in the water, and the sharks swam away again.

Zhou Weisen touched the knife on his waist, turned his belt, put on an oxygen mask, and turned on the switch. One rolled over and went into the water. As he adjusted, he slowly swam forward, and his breathing gradually became normal.

He continued to sink, about four or five meters, just over a meter from the reef at the bottom of the sea. At this time, he looked at his diver's watch, and it was 12 o'clock in the afternoon. He brought two 15-litre cylinders, each with an independent air supply system, and the backup was already 200% done for dives of less than 10 meters at best. But he didn't dare to be careless at all - the wreck diving was extremely dangerous, it was empty and cramped, and the light was dim, in case he was trapped in the cabin. I can't expect Lin Chuanqing to be able to rescue him at all.

He relaxed, his feet outstretched, swaying rhythmically and swinging his flippers to adjust his posture, the bottom of the sea was well-lit, and the water was not as transparent as the diving meccas he had visited, but it was also quite good.

The sunlight and moonlight shine through the fine waves on the surface of the water, illuminating the gray-white seabed below. The bottom of the sea is the reef of coral reefs, and Dongsha Island is the lough part of these coral reefs. The wreck of unknown origin was on the reef less than twenty meters away, sunk as if it had a model shipwreck in an aquarium.

He suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder, it turned out to be Lin Chuanqing. He was wearing a mask and couldn't see clearly. Holding a speargun.

He gave him a thumbs up, meaning that everything was OK and he was ready to act. The two men swam forward side by side.

The rubber wetsuit makes it feel hot and sticky. The oxygen inhaled in the oxygen cylinder also seems to be full of rubbery smell. Zhou Weisen is familiar with such feelings. He was concentrating on an average pace, swimming smoothly toward the coral reef of the wreck.

The depths of the ocean floor are full of coral sand and reef disks, reflected by the sun, twinkling and shining. The flat sand is occasionally mixed with patches of seaweed. Fish swim around the reef. Zhou Weisen was very careful, there were not only sharks in the reef, but also some more terrifying fish, and the moray eel hiding in the crevices of the reef was a terrifying thing - this thing can be more than three meters long, full of sharp teeth. In his opinion, it is much more terrifying than an ordinary shark.

They swam across the reef and a large piece of coral reef rock appeared in front of them. It is shaped somewhat like a giant plate. The shipwreck is on the edge of this "plate". There are more and more coral branches in front of you, and the surrounding area is crowded with schools of beautiful little marine fish. Zhou Weisen's movements slowed down with his hands and feet, and he used his left hand to make a signal to pause his progress. There are no signs of sharks around, but it's hard to say. He cautiously swam around the wreck from a distance.

Underwater, the ship is in a very good state of preservation. The main structure is intact. The seaweed attached to the deck and hull was wafting in the water, and the ship should have sunk here for quite some time. Judging from the sediment, shellfish and seagrass attached to it, it is at least more than half a year. There were no items scattered on the reef around the ship, and it did not look like it had been sent to the bottom of the sea by a storm, but rather as if someone had opened the sea valve and sank it.

He was observing, and Lin Chuanqing swam over. Zhou Weisen signaled: KAO is close and swim around the boat again. Take a closer look at the condition of the boat.

By the time he reached the stern, he noticed that the propeller had been skewed and the rudder had been partially damaged. It looks like it was hit on the reef. Overall, there are no signs of damage to the hull, except for some scratches on the bottom and the coral reef, and the white protective paint on the hull looks very new. Even the glass on the bridge is still intact.

Zuihou, they returned to the bridge and landed on the foredeck. Zhou Weisen motioned to Lin Chuanqing - he wanted to enter the ship from here. The other man nodded, and gestured at the CO2 speargun—this thing was enough to kill a large shark at a distance of twenty meters, but this kind of killing would only attract more sharks.

He carefully used his diving knife to clean the glass from the broken bridge window, first his legs, then his body, and Zuihou his head. Lin Chuanqing held the porthole with one hand and handed the diving lamp in the other.

The first target he chose to explore was the bridge, which was the most important place to find out the identity of the vessel.

The cabin had become a paradise for underwater creatures, and a frightened little octopus flew past him like a jet. Zhou Weisen froze - he didn't know if there were any bodies of the victims in this boat, and if there were, maybe he could find some clues from his belongings.

But there was nothing in the bridge, he didn't find the logbook, which was the most important thing, nor did he find any information such as the ship's registry, port documents, etc., that could prove its identity and where it came from.

Zhou Weisen only found some nautical charts, tide tables and other necessary information for navigation, and found nothing else.

He fastened the end of the rope to the bridge, which was used to guide the way back, and was a must-have for wreck dives, otherwise it would be easy to get lost in the labyrinth inside the boat. Turn on the dive light and continue swimming deeper.

The interior of the vessel is neat and clean, with no traces of disturbance except for some sea creatures roaming in the water. There was no structural damage in the hull, and there were no objects scattered everywhere, indicating that the ship did not experience severe shocks and turbulence when it sank.

On the bulkhead, an emergency box was fixed, and he noticed that the emergency box on the bulkhead near the bridge of KAO had been removed, while the depths were still intact. He came to the first cabin below deck, the door closed. He tried to push it, and was surprised to find that it was actually locked. He then explored further, discovering that every hatch he encountered was locked. This is really a strange thing, do you still need to lock the door when you abandon the ship?

Suspicions mounted, and the most bizarre thing about him was that there was no place on the ship that marked the name of the ship. and its port of registry -- these would have been found on a lot of the ship's equipment. Now these areas have been carefully sanded off or covered with a layer of paint. Obviously, the owner of the ship is deliberately not wanting anyone to know the true details of the ship.

Thirty minutes later, a mesh bag of objects was lifted from the surface of the water by a rope, and two men surfaced.

In the mesh bag, there were some objects that Zhou Weisen fished out of the cabin. It includes some nautical information, an emergency kit that was originally fixed to the bulkhead, a fire axe, and some cans and bottles. A few people crouched on the deck and looked through the watery items.

From these small things, Lin Chuanqing once again confirmed: this is a small fishing boat, which should be built in the United States.

"There's nothing to say who it is," Zhou said, dragging off his gear, "not only is there no logbook, not any shipping documents, and the ship's bell is gone." Even the nameplates on the tools and equipment have been removed. Even when it is a stowaway, it does not carry such a mystery. ”

"This ship isn't serious." Lin Chuanqing took a bucket of "semi-fresh water" from the well on Dongsha Island and washed it on his body.

"Of course, such a deliberate disguise of identity - it certainly won't be fishing, and besides, there are no fishing tools in the cabin."

"It's probably illegal." Gao Xiaosong concluded, "Could it be a smuggling ship?" ”

"It's not your average smuggling ship. Otherwise, there would be no need to go so far as to hide the identity of the ship. Lin Chuanqing took off his rubber wetsuit, sat on the deck and lit a cigarette, "Look at this, it's either smuggling drugs or smuggling arms." ”

"Kao, is there a gang of drug dealers coming to Daming?"

"If only it were an arms dealer, it wouldn't be a boatload full of weapons! AK47！ Machine gun! RPG！ Bai Guoshi became excited.

"Then we're not going to be miserable—"

"It's hard to say whether it's a drug dealer or an arms dealer. You'll have to pick up the boat and search carefully to find out. "I didn't dive too deep, but it looks like the ship should have been in transit when it sank." ”

Many provisions were found in the cabin, with many cans and liquor. The label on it has been soaked, but it looks like the seal is not broken, and it should be edible.

"Where is this can made?" Gao Xiaosong asked.

"Made in the United States."

"So the people on board are still Americans. Can you estimate the time? ”

"No problem, look at this emergency kit."

Zhou Weisen opened the box - this kind of marine emergency box is extremely sealed, and there is no water inside. The box contains food, medicine, signal canisters, and other things necessary in case of shipwreck. The expiration date indicates that the time coincides with the time and the time when they departed. (！ )
