Chapter 110: Battleships Under the Sea (Subscription Requested)
was supposed to be happy about the harvest of sea fishing, but it turned out to be happy and sad to lose a mobile phone. When such an accident happened, the business manager who accompanied the tour also felt really speechless, but he couldn't stop Xu Haibao, who insisted on going to the sea.
Although the sea area where the yacht is located at the moment is not a deep sea area, according to the estimate of the captain who drove the yacht, the water depth here is also nearly 100 meters. A mobile phone dropped from a yacht into the sea at such a depth is almost impossible to be recovered.
When the captain said his judgment, Xu Haibao smiled and said, "Don't worry, this depth is not much of a problem for me." You know, Lao You and I are both from the professional diving team of the Navy, so this depth is really nothing. ”
Rejecting the captain's kind advice, Xu Haibao resolutely decided to go to the sea to salvage the mobile phone that fell into the sea. Although they didn't understand why Xu Haibao insisted like this, everyone could only watch Xu Haibao jump from the deck into the sea.
Maybe no one knows that the previous scene where the mobile phone fell into the sea was just a scene directed by Xu Haibao. The reason why I deliberately dropped my phone into the sea is more to go into the sea in this place.
As for the reason, it is naturally that in this sea area, there is a shipwreck that Xu Haibao knows. Although there was no gold, silver and jewelry on board, as a former member of the navy, Xu Haibao hoped that the wreck would surface as soon as possible.
As early as more than 100 years ago, the Qing Dynasty and the country of baked cakes fought to the death in this sea area. Because that year was the first year of the Chinese lunar calendar, that shocking naval battle was also known as the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle.
In that naval battle, the Beiyang Fleet, which originally dominated Asia, was almost completely wiped out in this naval battle. It was the defeat of this naval battle that opened the fall of the Qing Dynasty and a series of subsequent wars and turmoil.
In this naval battle that shocked the whole world, the Zhiyuan ship of the Beiyang Fleet resolutely rammed into the enemy ship on the opposite side after losing its combat effectiveness. Although it failed in the end, the sacrifice of the Zhiyuan ship still inspired the officers and men of the navy in the past.
According to what we know in the previous life, a private company responsible for the development of this seaport was originally responsible for the development of this seaport next year, but finally found the Zhiyuan ship sunk in this sea area, and it took two years to salvage it.
If the wreck can be discovered by Xu Haibao and provided to the Navy's salvage department. Xu Haibao felt that this was also a happy thing for the navy, and it could also enhance the relationship between Xu Haibao and the navy.
As the influence of the Navy in foreign countries continues to increase in the future, Xu Haibao feels that having the Navy take care of it will also be of great help to salvage ships to carry out salvage operations overseas. Naval assistance may be sought if necessary.
The most important thing is that Xu Haibao is about to form a salvage team, and the first batch of team members are all retired elites of the Navy without exception. It is difficult for such a salvage team formed by such a group of people not to attract the attention of the navy!
Xu Haibao, who dived into the seawater, quickly found the mobile phone sunk in the sea with the help of a diving flashlight. It's just that after finding the mobile phone, Xu Haibao did not surface for the first time, but continued to search for the sunken waters ahead.
According to what Xu Haibao knows, the state has repeatedly organized professional salvage personnel to try to find the Beiyang warship that sank to the bottom of the sea. Unfortunately, nothing was found, and even divers were killed in the search.
On the other hand, after the war, the wreckage of many ships of the Beiyang Fleet was salvaged and transported back to the country, but it became a trophy for the exhibition of the country, which is really regrettable.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some people also proposed to salvage these warships, but it was never possible to confirm the specific location of the sinking of the Beiyang warships. I can't even find a location, so how can I salvage it?
Compared with others who want to find the specific location of the wreck, they can only find it from literature and materials, delineate a general range, and then send divers to carry out seabed exploration. This kind of search is a bit of a bit of luck.
But for Xu Haibao, who is diving into the water at this moment, in his previous life, he participated in the later salvage of the Zhiyuan ship. As for the situation of this battleship, I am afraid that he now knows better than anyone else. And the location of the yacht is not far from the location of the battleship.
It didn't take long for Xu Haibao to reach the location where the battleship was sunk. Looking at this Beiyang battleship that sank quietly in the sea, Xu Haibao didn't stay long. Instead, they began to search, and were able to confirm that it was a relic of the Far Far.
As for the other things on the sunken ship, Xu Haibao felt that there was no need to pick them up for the time being. Only by finding relics that can be identified or confirmed can the navy pay attention to it and organize salvage teams to carry out protective salvage against it.
The people who had been staying on the yacht looked at Xu Haibao, who had not surfaced for more than ten minutes after jumping into the sea, and the business manager said with some worry: "Mr. You, Mr. Xu will not have anything to do, right? Why haven't you seen him come out for so long?"
Facing the business manager's worries, You Guangwei and Liu Xiaohan's expressions were very calm. Hearing the business manager's inquiry, You Guangwei also explained in a timely manner: "Manager Song, don't worry, Mr. Xu can hold his breath underwater for about half an hour, and he will be fine!"
Although after retiring from the army, You Guangwei didn't know how far Xu Haibao's diving strength had grown. But in his eyes, Xu Haibao's diving strength is very good. In terms of breath-holding kung fu, it is also one of the best in the diving group.
I also know that staying in the sea for too long can worry everyone on the yacht. According to the location known in his previous life, Xu Haibao quickly found a few pieces of porcelain fragments printed with the words 'Zhiyuan' from the mud and sand of the sunken battleship.
With these porcelain fragments, the relevant departments can confirm that the battleship sunk here is the Zhiyuan ship that the state has been trying to salvage, but it is impossible to find out the specific location. And for salvage, there will naturally be someone in charge of it at that time.
And what Xu Haibao wants to do is to be the first person to discover the 'Far Ship'. And report this news to the Navy in advance, and the Navy will report it again, and decide that the Navy or local professional salvage team will be responsible for the matter.
Holding a few pieces of broken porcelain that he found, Xu Haibao glanced at the battleship that was almost completely buried in the sea with some nostalgia. He knew that on this battleship, there were still a large number of remains of killed officers and soldiers.
Standing in the sea not far from the battleship, Xu Haibao gave a military salute belonging to the junior navy, and then left silently. He believed that the early discovery of the 'Far Voyage Ship' would further inspire the determination and courage of all the navy personnel to defend the country's coastal defense.
When they resurfaced, Manager Song and others, who kept looking at the watch time, also seemed relieved. In their opinion, if Xu Haibao doesn't show up again, it is estimated that they will start preparing to go to the sea to save people.
"Brother Haibao, have you found your phone?"
"Found it!Xiaohan, find a piece of cloth and throw it down for me!"
Hearing Liu Xiaohan's inquiry standing on the yacht, Xu Haibao raised the mobile phone in his hand and raised it, but his other hand was not raised. Although he didn't know why Xu Haibao wanted the cloth, Liu Xiaohan was still very obedient and found a piece of cloth and threw it down.
Seeing Xu Haibao, who resurfaced not long after diving into the water again, he also re-boarded the yacht smoothly. It's just that in addition to holding a retrieved mobile phone in his hand, there are some things wrapped in cloth.
"Mr. Xu, is the phone okay? What is this package?"
"My phone is fine! Don't ask about the contents of this package. This is a little bit of gadget I found at the bottom of the sea. I was afraid that it would be damaged, so I wrapped it in a cloth. Please inform the captain that you can continue to sail!"
replied briefly, Xu Haibao did not tell the other party what was in the bag. In Xu Haibao's view, the news about the sinking of the 'Zhiyuan Ship' here is still very necessary to keep it secret for the time being.
Walking into the bedroom of the yacht, Xu Haibao handed the cloth bag to Liu Xiaohan, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Xiaohan, you can help me get the things first, and I'll go take a shower and change clothes." The things in it are not allowed to be shown to anyone except Brother You!"
"Okay, I got it!"
From Xu Haibao's expression, Liu Xiaohan somewhat knew that the things in this cloth bag should not be simple, but the weight did not seem to be heavy. Even if she wanted to open it and take a look, she decided to wait for Xu Haibao to come out and reveal the mystery.
Seeing You Guangwei, who also walked into the bedroom, Xu Haibao pretended to be excited and said, "Brother You, do you know what I found below?"
"Shipwrecks?"
"Wrong! It should be a shipwreck! Look at it, what is the word written on this porcelain?"
As the cloth bag was opened, You Guangwei picked up a broken piece of porcelain and looked at it, and quickly recognized the font on it, which was the traditional Chinese character 'Zhiyuan'. Thinking of the battleship named after this, You Guangwei's expression was instantly stunned.
In a shocked and somewhat incredulous tone, he asked, "Haibao, is this really found on that sunken ship?"
"Of course! Coincidentally, the place where my phone fell was on the deck of the battleship. At first, I thought it was an ancient shipwreck, but I didn't expect it to have rusty weapons and shells on it. It wasn't until the end that I stumbled upon these broken pieces of porcelain!"
"Oh my God! I really didn't expect the Far Ship to sink in this sea area!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Xiaohan, who also saw the font on the broken porcelain piece, said half-loudly: "Brother Haibao, are you talking about the Far Ship that the Beiyang Fleet sank in the First Sino-Japanese War?
"Yes! In order to ensure the safety of the battleship, I specially asked you to throw a piece of cloth to wrap the porcelain pieces. This is a warship of great significance to our country, and no one on board can say anything except the three of us before the relevant departments implement protective measures!"
"Okay!
After a brief discussion, Xu Haibao took a few photos of the porcelain pieces put together with his mobile phone, and then dialed Liu Chenglin's mobile phone. In Xu Haibao's plan, this news will be relayed by Liu Chenglin to the base and the higher departments.
When the battleship is successfully salvaged, I believe that the superiors will also recognize Liu Chenglin's contributions. At least Xu Haibao believes that as long as the leaders of Liu Chenglin's Maritime Safety Bureau are not stupid, they should know how much it means to the country and the navy to discover this warship!
