At the bow, stern, port side, and starboard side of the ship, eight large iron anchors slowly sank to the bottom, and after the boat was fixed to the surface, preparations were carried out at the same time: six people were putting on diving suits and adjusting diving equipment; The engineer operator pushes the button in the cab. With the sound of "beep-beep-beep", the front ends of the two booms slowly rise. The average spacing of the booms is about four meters, the width of the bottom is about six meters, the width of the middle is about five meters, and the width of the top is about four meters. The length of the boom is around twenty-five meters. There is an iron hoist at the front end of the boom, an iron chain on each of the hoists, and an iron hook under the iron chain.

When the boom rose to a seventy-five degree angle, it stopped, and at this time, the winch in the cab began to make a "click-click" sound, and soon the iron hoist began to turn, and the iron chain and iron hook began to land on the water. The distance between the two iron hoists is about four meters, and they correspond to the location of the plastic buoy.

While the angle of the boom was in place, the three divers were ready for everything.

The people on the shore are accumulating more and more. Suddenly, the school bell rang, and the children standing on the east bank of the river and the north bank of the pond disappeared into the reeds and trees.

Captain Zheng walked up to the three divers, and after a few brief explanations to them, the three divers sat on the port side of the boat and dived into the water in turn.

Soon, three strings of bubbles emerged from underwater.

After three or four minutes, there were bursts of murky water coming up from under the water, and after two minutes, the whole water was muddy.

A minute later, three black iron hoods surfaced one after another.

The three divers swam to the port side of the boat, and Captain Zheng and Chen Jie squatted on the deck.

"Nie Zhonghua, how is the underwater situation?" Captain Zheng asked.

"The boats, which we have seen, are two boats, the length of which is about twelve meters and the width of which is about four meters. The bow of one of the boats was pressed against the starboard side of the other, and there was a lot of silt on board, and under the silt were pockets, the contents of which had congealed into lumps. ”

"How rotten is the ship?"

The two boats have been under water for almost fifty years, and the extent of the decay can be seen.

"The surface of the ship has begun to rot - only the surface is rotten, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the overall salvage should not be a problem - the integrity of the ship is relatively good."

"Dajia's boat is a new boat that I just bought, and the tung oil has been brushed five or six times, and it can remain underwater for at least 20 years without rotting." Old Chen Tou was also on the salvage boat.

"Wipe out everything on the boat, visibility under the water is very low, pay attention to the three of you, clean up the boat above first."

Three divers quickly disappeared into the water.

Soon, three more divers sank into the water.

After three or four minutes, the water is getting more and more turbid, and the people above can imagine: the boat is loaded with flour, although the flour has condensed into lumps, but as soon as people touch it, it will quickly dissolve in the water, plus the silt, can the water not be turbid, as soon as the water is turbid, the visibility is low, and it is very difficult for people to work underwater with very low visibility.

The water is getting muddy and getting bigger and bigger. Some of the fish probably couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out of the water and then into the water again.

Suddenly, in the crowd on the south bank, there was some commotion,

Or Zhao Datong's eyes are good: "It's a way." ”
