Chapter 508: The Calm Before the Storm?

After a short day of rest on the desert island where the treasure was found before, the atmosphere of the salvage fleet became much more relaxed. For the team members who went to sea, they all knew that this should be a stop on a long journey.

The rest was over, everything was back to normal, and the fleet sailed forward again. When sailing in the waters of the high seas, many passing ships were very curious, these three ships flying the flag of the Celestial Empire did not seem to be like ocean-going freighters.

Even during the voyage, when encountering some freighters with the nationality of the Celestial Empire, Xu Haibao and his party would not approach at will. Being on the sea, there are still certain restrictions on communication with each other, and most of them go their own way.

It's just that compared to the speed of those ocean-going freighters, the salvage fleet is not fast. After entering the Arabian Sea, Xu Haibao ordered the fleet to slow down and sail, and the three ships sailed in a straight line.

As for Xu Haibao's words, he was no different from going to sea in the past, basically staying in the sea to collect things useful for the Chaos Bead. Even if the effect of this needle in a haystack is not obvious, it is still somewhat rewarding.

Different seas will also grow different creatures. Occasionally, Xu Haibao would dig out some ancient shipwrecks, salvage some of the more valuable things on the ancient shipwrecks, and then refill them.

After becoming a Jindan monk, Xu Haibao's ability to control water has increased greatly, and the speed of salvaging shipwrecks is much faster than before. Moreover, under the monitoring of spiritual power, it was clear what was on the wreck.

Just when Xu Haibao felt that it was necessary for the fleet to find something to do and boost the morale of the salvage team. As he was about to enter the waters of the Gulf of Aden, an ancient Arab shipwreck came into his sight.

Looking at the distance between the ancient shipwreck and the sea level, Xu Haibao felt that with the ability of the salvage team, he should be able to salvage the ancient shipwreck. The ancient gold coins and gold, silver and bronze objects loaded on it should still be worth very good.

With this discovery, Xu Haibao quickly surfaced, returned to the salvage ship that was sailing slowly, walked into the command cabin and said: "Old Tang, let the fleet stop, take a break nearby, and have work at night!"

As soon as he heard this, Tang Xingyou, who was an old comrade-in-arms, also smiled and said, "Have you found out?"

"Well, an ancient shipwreck was found earlier, and there were a lot of gold coins and gold, silver and bronze artifacts on it, and the value should not be low. After coming out for so long and sailing, it is estimated that the brothers are annoyed. Find something to do and make them happy too. ”

"Okay! I'll give the order! Salvage at night?"

"It's still night! The target is smaller at night! Looking at the position of the HNA , we should enter the waters of the Gulf of Aden, which is said to be quite a lot of pirates. There should not be many ships passing by at night, so try to get this matter done overnight. ”

"Well, actually, I'm curious if there will be pirates robbing our fleet?"

"If the pirates knew about our fleet, someone would probably make up their minds. Everyone knows that robbing and salvaging ships is a good thing. What's more, we've been out for so long, and some people who care about it should know that we're here. ”

"Then keep the tiger shark on guard, ready to pick up customers?"

"Maintain a state of vigilance! Just deal with it according to the salvage procedure, there is no need to be too nervous. If someone who doesn't open their eyes approaches, I'll warn you in advance. Again, I won't take it lightly until the critical moment. ”

"Yes, after training at home for so long, we also want to try our skills! There are really people who are not long-sighted looking for trouble, and I believe they will also know what it is like to kick an iron plate. I'll discuss this with the tiger shark!"

After becoming an innate martial artist, Tang Xingyou knew very well how powerful his own force was. Even if he hadn't fought against a strong man of the same level, he knew that at his level, ordinary individual weapons had completely lost their effect on him.

In fact, many of the members of the security team who went to sea this time gave up hot weapons and began to use cold weapons that they were good at. Once hand-to-hand combat is launched, it is believed that the most elite special forces will not be their opponents.

The most important point is that every member of the salvage team is good at fighting in the sea. To exaggerate, they are also called tigers on land, dragons in the sea. How could ordinary pirates be their opponents?

After receiving Tang Xingyou's instruction that the fleet was cruising nearby, the captain of another salvage ship and the captain of the supply ship instantly felt a light in their eyes. In their opinion, this is a signal to prepare for the job.

Just to ensure safety and confidentiality, Tang Xingyou will give corresponding instructions before preparing to start. If you want to know if things are as they expected, just look at the movements of the security team and the salvage team.

Sure enough, after Tang Xingyou gave the instruction to cruise near the fleet, the members of the security team began to enter the combat position. The HNA helicopters on the supply ships also began to take off and hover nearby to detect suspicious targets.

After sailing some distance, the fleet suddenly turned around and turned back. Such a move can only show that they have really found a salvage target. And the fleet is returning at this moment, it should be going to the salvage site to prepare for the salvage operation.

As the two salvage ships stopped advancing, Zhao Ji, who was the head of the security team, also said in a timely manner: "Alert boat, quickly take position! When you find a ship approaching, you will immediately remind you to persuade passing ships not to approach our operating waters." ”

"Yes!"

Although there are not many ships passing through the area at night, it does not mean that there are no at all. Fortunately, the sea area where Xu Haibao found the wreck is not the main channel, so there should not be many ships passing through.

If a warning boat is dispatched, it is more to detect the situation as soon as possible, and to inform the two salvage ships and the supply ship in advance. If a ship really forcibly approaches, the helicopter on standby will quickly take to the air to carry out persecution.

Although this is a bit overbearing, the salvage fleet can make some diversion behaviors on this route, which is also to avoid the occurrence of night collisions. Under normal circumstances, normal merchant ships do not take hard passes.

The reason is simple, if there is a collision accident, the regular merchant ship will also suffer heavy losses. What's more, if a vigilant speedboat is found in this kind of sea area at night, it is too late to hide, who will deliberately go against the people on the speedboat?

The alert speedboats scattered in all directions, and the supply ships acted as shields for the salvage ships, wandering around three nautical miles. Hang out the docking lights to warn passing ships not to approach. With light indications, ships in the same channel can also avoid in time.

As for the two salvage ships, they have also stopped sailing, and according to the orientation parameters provided by Xu Haibao, one left and one right form a salvage circle. The members of the salvage team who have been ready for a long time carry the salvage equipment into the water first.

The ancient shipwreck, which was originally buried under the sea mud, was easily discovered by the salvage team after Xu Haibao cleaned it up in advance. In fact, Xu Haibao can also salvage this ancient shipwreck, and it will take less time than the salvage team.

When it comes to salvaging shipwreck treasures, you can only have a greater sense of accomplishment if you participate in person. If Xu Haibao does everything himself, then what's the point of these team members going to sea with them?

With the order of the salvage team leader, the first group of diving team members to go into the water are also very experienced in placing underwater searchlights near the wreck. The divers in charge of the scouting also began to enter the wreck to salvage objects.

Looking at the gold coins scattered on the sunken ship, as well as a large number of gold and silver utensils, many salvage team members also smiled and said: "Wow, you have made a fortune! Look at it like this, this is another treasure ship, and this time it is going to make a small fortune again!"

Compared with the old team members, who have had the experience of salvaging shipwrecks several times, the new team members who joined the salvage team feel that their eyes are a little overwhelmed. In their opinion, the value of such a treasure on a sunken ship is really amazing!

Thinking of the company's system, many new team members also feel excited, and they also understand why the team members who join the company are looking forward to entering the core salvage team one day earlier. The reason is very simple, it is a steady profit or even a big profit when it comes out once.

Money is actually very important to these players who are not from good backgrounds. At present, most of the criteria for accepting and selecting newcomers of the Hailong Salvage Company are retired non-commissioned officers with poor family backgrounds.

After entering the company for three months of internship, the salary is also much higher than that of the same industry. After becoming a regular, he will also be assigned to the resort under Baoya Investment Company as a security guard. The salary of this job is much higher than that of peers.

All in all, for many non-commissioned officers currently serving in the Navy, they know more or less that when the retirement season arrives every year, the most anticipated work unit for retired non-commissioned officers is the selection of Hailong Company.

As long as they can enter this company, then after retiring, their life and income will be much better than when they were in the army. Even some non-commissioned officers who retired due to injuries are often given priority care.

There is an opportunity to participate in an ocean-going salvage operation, and the corresponding dividends are enough for these team members, so they don't have to worry about their income in the next few years. After entering the company, the examples of those veteran players, every team member saw them.

It can be said that at present, Hailong Company and Baoya Investment Company receive the most elite retired non-commissioned officers of the Navy every year, which should also be the largest among domestic private enterprises. Of course, it is also the unit that these retired non-commissioned officers are most looking forward to and eager to join!

The new team members who enter the company can basically find old comrades-in-arms who retired in the early years. Because of this, the relationship between today's Hailong Company and the Navy is also very close. After all, the Navy is also the collective maiden home of the members of the Sea Dragon Company!

With the basket of gold coins and gold and silver utensils being salvaged out of the water, the team members in charge of counting also seemed very happy. They've experienced drills like this many times. And this time, it is undoubtedly another bumper harvest salvage operation.

On the other hand, Xu Haibao, who found the wreck, always stayed near the operation area and paid attention to the surrounding situation. To Xu Haibao's surprise, from the beginning to the end of the salvage, the operation area seemed calm.

This situation made Xu Haibao a little confused and said: "Could it be that the Star Research Association still doesn't know the whereabouts of the fleet?"

In Xu Haibao's view, the Star Research Association has a lot of energy and news channels in all seas around the world. The news about the arrival of the sea dragon salvage team in the Arabian Sea should already be known to the Star Research Association.

Now that we know this, how could it be that the Israeli Society of Intelligence's urine did not deploy corresponding retaliatory actions? Could it be that this is the tranquility before the storm?
