The Return of the South China Sea Chapter 8 The Trident (I)
Uncle Ming is nose and eyes, and he refuses to be ambiguous in the selection of the ship, after all, his life and life must be tied to this ship after going to sea, and finally "breaking the force" finally understands: "How many people go to sea This is a big move?" I don't think you are like ordinary people who come to fish for green heads, ordinary ships can't meet your requirements at all, it's not a secret, there is an old ship in the depths of this water hole, which was modified by the British expedition back then, but the British all died inexplicably before they went to sea, and their ship still exists, that ship...... I really don't know how to describe it, but it's evil enough. ”
I don't know why he used the word "evil door" to describe the ship, but to do extraordinary things, you must choose an extraordinary choice, maybe the ship that was modified by the British salvage team is suitable for my use, so I decided to go with him to watch, anyway, we don't see the real Buddha and don't burn incense, if there is no suitable ship, we would rather postpone the sea, than buy an old horse, put a broken saddle, and make up a day is a day.
In the depths of the water hole under the sea cliff of the coral temple, there is a turn, the cliff above the head is cracked from it, the open air line, in the shadow of the light can not be illuminated by a strange wooden boat, the shape of this ship is very ancient, in the open sea operation of the ship its volume also belongs to a small boat, can carry more than a dozen people, the hull is mainly a wooden structure, dark and gloomy with a faint light, all the rivets are embedded in the wood, and then sealed with a wooden wedge, the selected material is mixed with a part of the sea willow, that is a kind of tree that grows on the bottom of the sea, It will not be deformed when it is damp and heated, and it can withstand corrosion, keep as good as new, and be very strong, which can withstand the test and baptism of the stormy waves on the sea.
Although it resembles a willow tree, it is actually an immovable marine creature that takes tens of thousands of years to form, and every inch is a treasure, which is rare in modern times because it is on the verge of extinction. There is a superstitious belief along the coast that if you use sea willows in important parts of the hull, you will be blessed by the god of water.
The style of this ship is ancient, it seems to be hundreds of years old, and judging by the style, this old ship can enter the museum, but why does it look as if it has just been built, it looks very new, and many places have been refitted. So the hull of the ship looks very incongruous everywhere, and there are a lot of equipment on the hull that we have never seen before, and it is indeed a bit evil.
Decades ago, bandit activities in this area were rampant, this boat was the fast boat used by the bandits, and then the nearby bandits were gradually exterminated, and the fast boat was hidden in this water hole, and was found by the fishermen to be converted into a fishing boat, so the fishing nets, fishing cannons, and fishing guns on board are readily available.
Later, the people of the British Tanton Salvage Company wanted to enter the coral spiral to fish for green heads, but how could there be so easy to go to that sea area, the ship was too big and it was easy to hit the reef in the coral spiral, and the ship could not be equipped with too many electronic equipment. So they fell in love with this sea willow boat, after more than half a year of refitting, now the waterline is copper plate armor, the original power part was dismantled, for the sake of safety, modified into a steam firing medium and motor two power switching four groups of propeller drive, sailing maneuverable, equipped with lifeboats on both sides of the ship, and two medium-caliber Indian water god Jinpilu cannons, which can fire four different types of shells. The ship is equipped with a winch and fishing cannon, as well as a variety of equipment necessary for improvised salvage operations.
There are two huge oval copper balls hanging behind the ship, this thing is called "diving bell", it is an airtight enclosed diving tool, you can put people into it and hang it with a chain and fall to the bottom of the sea, reconnoiter the underwater situation, although this method is clumsy and primitive, but it has a better protective effect on divers in the dangerous seabed.
There are also some special equipment of the British in the cabin, including the British-made deep-sea rescue device, which is a heavy diving equipment, which can dive to a depth of about 200 meters to the bottom of the sea, weighing about 150 pounds, which can ensure that divers can complete the task safely in a high-pressure, low-temperature, hypoxic and dark environment, the metal helmet is equipped with an observation window, which can be connected with a diving suit made of rubber material, and has an exhaust valve to maintain a stable pressure, which can discharge the breathing gas outward, This kind of equipment is still in the real stage, and it belongs to the prototype type of the replacement period, and there is a certain risk factor when it is used.
Even after such full preparation, the British still did not dare to act lightly, because the coral spiral is a hellish sea infested by ghosts and evil spirits, the wind is chaotic, once the boat approaches, it will lose its needle, and there are hurricanes there all the year round, it is rare to see in the sky, and when the sky is fine, there are mirages that change, often lead the ship astray, for the expedition team all kinds of difficulties can be overcome, only in the vast sea lost the way, only the sea water is boundless, do not know the east and west, north and south, If you can't even see the sky, the ship will be lost sooner or later.
Due to this insurmountable reason, the British salvage team finally gave up the plan, on the eve of their preparation to return home, suddenly the whole gang died violently on the ship, the cause of death is very bizarre, some superstitious fishermen said that because the sea willow boat is too heavy, there are too many people who died on it, the resentful soul is entangled, and the ghost ship has been in contact for a long time, and they are all killed by the ghosts on the ship, the specific situation of this matter is not clear, he does not know in detail, such as the owner of this ship, Now it is the local local who helped to carry out the refit work, and if he wants this boat, "Breaking Force" can help negotiate the price.
It turns out that this ship is a "ghost ship", many people have died on board, it doesn't look very lucky, and the reason for this is "breaking the force" is limited and can't be said clearly, for these non-existent things, I have never believed it, but I have to keep an eye on this matter, hoping to find an opportunity to find out the truth as much as possible, although it is better to believe that it exists, not to believe that it is not, but you can't listen to the horn and not to farm, where to find a more suitable ship than this sea willow clipper?
Uncle Ming and I are very satisfied with this boat, there is an indescribable feeling of deep traces, with this boat is enough to break through the coral spiral, but "break the force" and said: "So many years, I have not heard of anyone entering the coral spiral, where the sea ghosts are impermanent, the submarine fire is stealing and burning, it is not a good place, if you listen to my good words and persuasion, you will stop such thoughts as soon as possible, but if you really want to enter that sea area, I think only this sea willow boat can do it, but the premise is that the captain can drive it into the coral spiral, But where to find such an experienced old sea wolf? ”
