Right now, the frogmen of the Underwater Demolition Brigade are carefully examining the posture and key components of the entire ship. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe drums filled with water are now firmly secured, and all they need to do is double-check to see if they are falling off.

In fact, these frogmen who had been trained in diving did not believe that such a large ship could be fished up from the bottom of the sea with these empty iron buckets, as if they did not believe that the Dongfeng floating in the harbor was really made of steel. Although the Dongfeng had made it believable for them, they all thought in their hearts that this was a trick made up by the magicians in the Senate. This concept exists not only in the minds of these frog people, but also in the minds of the local natives, who always feel that steel does not float on water, and it is even less possible for steel giants to float on water. Every day, curious natives or naturalized people tried to get close to the Dongfeng to take a look, but most of them were driven away by the nearby patrolling marines, and a few even swam near the hull, and touched the hull of the ship, convinced that it was steel, but a large part of these people died, and the marines' special marksmen and the Chunxiao, which patrolled the harbor every day, were always ready to deal with the natives who were too curious.

Faced with the water coming out of the oil drum at this time, the frog people are just full of wonder why the bucket full of water drains out of the water. But before they could start paying attention to the problem of drainage, something happened that left them dumbfounded. The hull supports, which had been a little drooping at first, were now slowly straightening, and the drums were now being held up and pushed upwards as if they were being held by an invisible hand.

However, salvage is not the kind of thing that can be done well in one go, buoyancy is an important factor in salvage, but more important is balance. The deck of the ship is flat, and it is likely that there will be deviations due to water pressure during the floating process, and too fast may exert too much pressure on the salvaged bracket and cause an accident. In addition, after every few distances of ascent, the example will stop the air pump and start adjusting the attitude and balance of the entire hull.

From morning to noon, the frogmen were almost always underwater to inspect and assist in salvage, only coming up every once in a while to change a compressed air bottle.

At this time, the example was wearing a work uniform, wearing an 80 steel helmet, holding a walkie-talkie in his left hand, holding a mouse in his right hand, sitting in front of the command platform on the lighthouse, staring intently at the real-time video screen on the notebook in front of him.

Although he has not actually participated in the actual salvage work, he often learns some salvage tips when he is at home, and at this time he always pays attention to the data transmitted by various departments, including the hull inclination, depth and other data, and always recalls what these mean in his mind.

At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the deck of the ship was finally truly exposed, and some Medeno sailors were transported onto the ship in dinghys, tasked with removing all the sail cable systems from the ship.

The voice of an unknown patriarch came from the walkie-talkie, "Brother Wenrui, it's not safe, right?" What if they go up and collapse the bracket that provides buoyancy? ”

"That's it, more than 30 people, even if it's a hundred catties, it's a ton and a half, it's better to wait until all of them leave the water and rush to the beach."

"Nonsense." Example held up the walkie-talkie and scolded, "The deck has already come out of the water, and the sea water discharged is more than one and a half tons, and now more than 30 people will not cause any impact at all." ”

"Then why don't you wait for the beachhead to be demolished, or dismantle it underwater before starting the salvage. Isn't it time to do it now? ”

"Are you an expert or am I?" Paradigm was annoyed, "Who are you?" Random command, how to dismantle underwater? There are so many cables on it, who is to blame if it gets entangled in the veteran diver and has an accident? Even ordinary sailors have spent our money and time to train, and if one dies, it will take a long time to retrain. Besides, don't you see that the sails are all hanging now? There is a sea breeze today, what if the cross wind blows and the bracket breaks? Now you have to dismantle it! ”

No one spoke on the walkie-talkie. In the distance, sailors began to take their positions on deck, clearing ropes and sails. Because they had been soaked underwater for a long time, these things were badly corroded by the seawater, and because the current pushed them together, the sailors shouted and tore apart these entanglements, not only the sand and gravel in the sea, but also kelp, shells, sea urchins and the like.

It was not until about two o'clock in the afternoon that they had completely cleared the sail cables, lowered all the sails from the three masts, and with the help of the cruiser beside them, all the sails had been removed. The cloth used for these sails, although it has been soaked in seawater for quite some time, does not seem to be a major problem. Of course, whether there is a specific problem, whether it is sent to paper or cleaned and reused, will have to wait for the Ministry of Chemical Industry and the Ministry of Textiles to check before making a conclusion.

The example looked at the time, and when it was almost up, he ordered the sailors on the ship to disembark and continue to pump air into it. A mobile phone is placed on the deck of the ship, which is now turned on the spirit level, and transmits data to the sample notebook in real time via WiFi, so that the attitude of the hull can be obtained very accurately.

The large wooden battleship was like a hill rising from the sea, gradually coming to the surface, and the sea water gushed outward from the gun window on the gun deck, and for a time it was as if dozens of waterfalls had opened on both sides of the hull, and the huge sound of the sea hitting the sea surface could even be heard clearly by onlookers on the beach.

I don't know who started the first cheer, then a few people, then dozens of people around them, and finally the crowd of onlookers all cheered, and the whole beach was now a sea of cheers.

"What happened?" Yang Minghuan was the first to jump up in shock and shouted outside the door.

A Marine pushed open the door and walked in, "Report, it's a crowd cheering outside for the boat to be salvaged." ”

"Oh?" Yang Minghuan was stunned, "Salvage today?" ”

This is a person who walked in through the door, "Let's go, let's go to the beach and see the excitement." ”

"Brother De, don't be kidding, it's full of people now, how can we get in?" Yang Minghuan smiled and said, "I might as well take the telescope and go up to the top floor to take a look." ”

"I'll go, this is the moment that can best reflect your image of being close to the people, and you want to have fun with the people." Du Yande patted on the door, "Let's go, the car is waiting below." ”

"Cars? What car? Yang Minghuan grinned, "It won't be Rolls-Royce again, right?" ”

"Rolls-Royce, of course!" Du Yande laughed, "Our fuel reserves have bottomed out, and if we still use fuel, we will be completely lying in the nest in three days at most." Save a little. ”

At this moment, someone behind Du Yande patted his shoulder, and he turned his head in amazement, "Liu Yeqiang? What's the matter? ”

"A great discovery! A major discovery! Liu Yeqiang was panting, holding a stone in his right hand, and his left hand was propped up on his knee panting, "Look at this!" So saying, he handed the stone over.

Du Yande took the stone suspiciously, this stone was pitch black, the appearance was very ordinary, it looked no different from the ordinary stone on the side of the road, "What is this?" ”

"Oil shale!" Liu Yeqiang finally gasped for breath, and almost shouted this sentence.

"Cut, I thought it was." Du Yande chuckled and stuffed this piece of oil shale back into Liu Yeqiang's hand, "Isn't there a lot of oil shale in our house?" In addition to coal and gangue every day in the coal mine, there are only the most of these things left, right? ”

Yang Minghuan looked at Liu Yeqiang's foolish eyes staring at Du Yande, and knew that it was definitely not right inside, and the people in the geological group of the oil shale samples sent from the coal mine had checked it, and the oil content in it was too low to be worth developing. Liu Yeqiang knew about this, but at this time, he would not come here with a piece of oil shale ore to entertain everyone, right?

"Lao Liu, can you tell me what's going on?" Yang Minghuan took over, "What's different about this oil shale ore?" ”

"Of course it's different!" Liu Yeqiang shook the ore in his hand ostentatiously, "The oil content of this piece is the highest since we came to this time and space. ”

"The highest?" Du Yande snatched the ore with his hand, "Where did you get it?" Which mine dug it up? ”

"It's not ours, it's the ballast stone inside the ship." Liu Yeqiang smiled and said, "It's just a no-brainer." We can't find it here, and there are so many people that they pick it up on the beach and use it as a ballast stone. ”

"What ship? Is it a ship that has come to trade? "Someone spoke at the door again, and it was Shi Li.

"Why are you here?" Du Yande couldn't help but be a little stunned, "Aren't you supervising the construction and installation of the chemical plant?" What's wrong with it? ”

"We also have more than 30 people in the chemical industry, okay? They are not natives who don't know anything, I watch everything alone, they can't learn anything, I let them be in charge of supervision, I only check the spot, so that they can have more opportunities to practice, and it is also conducive to the growth of the chemical industry. Shi Li said and looked at Liu Yeqiang, "Let me ask you, what kind of ship is this oil shale ore from?" ”

"What kind of ship," Liu Yeqiang suddenly laughed, "it was taken out of the bilge of the Medeno battleship stranded on the beach." ”

"What?" Everyone in the room was stunned and asked in unison, "The boat?" ”

"That's right, it's been stranded for more than half a month, and when a sailor went in to clean it up today, he thought the ballast stone inside looked very strange and took out one, and I happened to see it when I passed by. I've analysed it, and this ore completely exceeds the minimum standards required for oil shale production, which means that if we can supply it in large quantities, we will be able to produce a steady stream of diesel and gasoline. Liu Yeqiang had an expression of flying eyebrows at this time.

"And that's not all! The abundance of alkanes and olefins in shale oil can be used to produce high value-added chemicals, including plasticizers, detergents, fatty alcohols, alkyl sulfide salts, bitumen and carbon fiber, and most importantly, sulfuric acid in large quantities! Shi Li almost jumped.
