Chapter 326: Deep Blue (Part II)
Chen Badai felt a little headache, and his head seemed to be gushing out of his head, as if he was accepting the noise of a bad radio, he took a big breath of oxygen and knocked his head again, but he still couldn't get the murmur out of his head.
The diver followed, and made an OK gesture to Chen Badai, indicating that he could continue diving, but Chen Badai didn't seem to see it, and the diver thought that Chen Badai's ear pressure balance would take some time, so he stopped diving next to him, controlled the attitude with frog flippers, and floated beside Chen Badai ten meters underwater.
But 5 minutes passed, and the diver saw that Chen Badai had no intention of diving, and couldn't help but gesture to him again, but Chen Badai still didn't respond, and the diver felt that Chen Badai's hands and feet seemed to be a little stiff, and said on the underwater walkie-talkie: "Poor! What are you doing? ”
"Hmm! It's okay. Chen Badai was pulled back into reality, he looked up at the sea, the sunlight penetrated through the waves under the sea, projecting a bizarre image in Chen Badai's eyes.
Chen Badai made a gesture to the diver to continue diving, and continued to go deeper along the ramp, head-down with frog flippers, and the visibility became lower and lower, and when it was 20 meters underwater, the visibility suddenly decreased to less than 5 meters.
"Be careful!" The diver was playing an underwater flashlight, and suddenly saw a huge black shadow in front of him, shouting on the walkie-talkie.
"Bang ......" Chen Badai was absent-minded, and did not respond to the diver's warning at all, and when he saw the huge black shadow, Chen Badai couldn't control the speed of the dive, and crashed into it all of a sudden.
Fortunately, the underwater speed was not fast, Chen Badai was just hit by the diving goggles, but the thing seemed to be fragile, Chen Badai heard a creak, as if something was broken.
Chen Badai hurriedly adjusted his posture and retreated, and just after exiting less than 5 meters, a black shadow passed in front of him and sank into the dark seabed, with a creaking and breaking sound underwater, and the water was stirred up, making it even more turbid.
The first mate in front of the monitor of the Saint Maiden, seeing the image transmitted back by the miniature submarine, suddenly dimmed, and felt an obvious vibration, as if a small earthquake had occurred, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and asked: "Poor! What's wrong? ”
The underwater sound fell silent again, but the turbid sea water in front of him was not clear for a while, Chen Badai felt a tingling on his scalp, and said on the walkie-talkie: "The visibility is a little low, I seem to have hit something." ”
"Bumping into something?" The first mate was a little surprised, how could this depth hit something?
"It seems to be the mast of a sailboat, it is broken, and the upper part sinks to the bottom of the sea......" Chen Badai and the others calmed down, moved forward again, and got very close, he saw the mast of a sailboat, it seemed to be the first mast, and the fractured surface on the cylinder with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters was new, and Chen Badai should have hit it just now.
"It's a shipwreck...... It should be the Age of Discovery. Chen Badai looked at the shape of the mast and felt that it should be a Spanish galleon, from which the famous pirate ship of later generations evolved.
The wreck was stuck crookedly on the ramp and above the cliff, after years of underwater scouring, some places on the very strong ship wood have been corroded and destroyed, Chen Badai saw that there were many holes on the deck, and there was no problem at all in some places to drill into people, but now was not the time to probe the inside of the sailboat, there was a copper nameplate on the left side of the ship, Chen Badai stopped in front of the nameplate, wiped the patina and attached barnacles with his hands, and vaguely recognized the letters on the nameplate.
"Vitra ......" Chen Badai read softly, it seems that the wreck is called Vitra.
"Poor, we've got to get the submarine out." The diver reminded Chen Badai.
"OK......" Chen Badai gave up the idea of continuing to explore the Vitra, and now he has solved the matter of the submarine first.
Chen Badai felt that the submarine should have encountered the cliff shed when it was floating, and when trying to get out of the trap, the submarine's control fiber optic cable and the fragments of the Vitra were entangled together.
"Poor! The camera caught you guys, huh...... The submarine is right in front of you. The first mate was in front of the monitor of the Holy Maiden, alerting Chen Badai and the divers.
"I see the lights on it." Chen Badai replied that he was now about ten meters away from the submarine, and the turbid sea water made him not see what the submarine's posture was, but its light penetrated into his eyes.
"This ship is really not a small ......" The diver felt a little chill in his heart, and said something on the intercom when he had nothing to say.
"It's about more than 1,000 tons......" Chen Badai replied casually.
More than 1,000 tons of sailing ships in the 1600-1700s is not considered a small sailing ship, since then, later generations of sailing ships are getting bigger and bigger, merchant ships are maintained at the thousand-ton level, and the pinnacle of sailing ships is the sail warship, the largest sail warship built to 5000 tons! The tonnage level of modern destroyers has been reached.
"The Holy Maiden, we see the little bit." The diver said a few words to Chen Badai, calmed down, followed the guidance of the light, and finally saw the miniature submarine.
"How's it going?" The first mate asked.
"It doesn't look good...... the diver straightened the submarine with his hand, but it immediately fell back on its head, and the propeller was wrapped in a messy piece of hemp rope, possibly falling from the wreck.
"I'm going to look at the fiber optic cable." Chen Badai said, swimming along the submarine's operating fiber optic cable.
The total weight of the miniature submarine is only 30 kilograms, such a small submarine can only play the role of a pioneer in detection, and it cannot carry too much load by itself. Theoretically, these lines can be extended indefinitely as long as they are waterproofed. Its power supply, maneuvering and communications are provided by the Virgen Maiden, allowing it to dive to 3,000 meters underwater.
Because the power of the small point is not very abundant, so these dragged lines are very soft, when the operation is improper, it is easy to knot and entangle, this kind of thing has happened more than once, Chen Badai feels that since the small point is crooked underwater, its line should be entangled somewhere, maybe it is a stone on the cliff under the sea, or maybe somewhere else.
In the turbid water, Chen Badai touched all the way along the line, the second half of the line was dragged straight by Xiao Budian, but the first half is now in a relaxed semi-floating state, probably affected by the underwater current, the line dragged by Xiao Budian was washed close to the side of the cliff, Chen Badai saw the winding point, and the line was wrapped around a fragment of a boat protruding from the edge of the cliff.
Chen Badai tried to smooth the line, but he didn't know what was going on, the line was very tightly wound around the fragment, Chen Badai carefully looked at the rotten piece of ship's wood, it was not the hull, from its shape, it looked like the bow mast of a smaller sailing ship.
"More than one ship has sunk here." Chen Badai said on the walkie-talkie.
"Of course, we've all seen it...... Treasure all over the ground. The first mate was happy at the thought of this and grinned.
"No...... I'm talking about this cliff, more than one ship. Chen Badai added.
"Huh? So what? Poor, you have to bypass the line first. "The first mate obviously doesn't want to discuss the shipwreck with Chen Badai, and now he has to get the miniature submarine out of the water first.
But the soft line was wound into a dead knot on this broken fragment, it was not easy to untie, Chen Badai looked at the fragment of the ship, it didn't seem to be solid, Chen Badai grabbed it and pulled it hard, it seemed to have some effect.
"The debris looks like a mast or railing or something, and I'll see if I can drag it out." Chen Badai said on the walkie-talkie, "If it doesn't work, I think I have to cut the line." ”
Although the line of this miniature submarine is also a consumable, it is not cheap, and it is best to try other methods first if it can still be rescued.
"OK, poor, let's see if you can clean up the debris first." The first mate said over the intercom.
Chen Badai pulled hard again, the wood that was not too thick was seriously decayed, but it was not to the point of shattering when touched, the visibility under the water was less than 5 meters, and Chen Badai could only vaguely see that the other end of the fragment seemed to be pressed somewhere.
Chen Badai swam along, this piece of debris was really pressed under the cliff, it stretched out of the cliff five or six meters away, Xiao Budian bypassed it when he dived, but the line was washed to it by the current and entangled, Chen Badai took out the underwater spray gun: "I'll try to cut off the fragments." ”
"Click...... "Click" As soon as Chen Badai cut through the pieces with the underwater spray gun, he heard a creepy sound underwater, and another diver also heard it, he didn't know what Chen Badai did, in order to save his life, he immediately discarded the small point and swam in the direction away from danger.
Chen Badai turned his head and saw that a huge black shadow was pressing towards him at some point......
