Chapter 372: Treasure Hunt King: Caribbean Horror Journey (1)
Nathan really bothered.
was able to help him find an authentic Hunan restaurant here in Portugal, and Lu Tian didn't know what to say for a while.
After ordering, Zhang Wei got up and left the private room in the name of going to the toilet.
At this time, Nathan took out a document and handed it to Lu Tianhou and said, "This is my plan!" You see what's wrong. ”
The main reason for coming to Portugal is that it is halfway between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
The bottom of the Atlantic Ocean is almost the location of treasures, all the treasure hunters in the world are traveling across the ocean to hunt for treasure, but only a few people bring their treasures home, according to statistics, in the Atlantic waters, there are about hundreds of thousands of shipwrecks, many of which can be traced back to the time when the Spanish treasure fleet crossed the Atlantic.
As for the Mediterranean, it is an alternative plan, after all, the snobbery here is complicated, and the treasure hunt is not easy to carry out, even if the treasure is found, it is also a problem for the countries to rip their skins, and the Atlantic Ocean is different, if they can find the ancient shipwreck this time, they only need to hand over ten percent to the ship chess country, and if it is not possible to determine that the ancient ship has a clear ownership country, the treasure will all belong to the salvage, and it is a first-come, first-served basis!
There are no two siblings Liam and Lilia in the list of travelers this time, and the first issue itself has their purpose, which is to let foreign people accept Lu Tian as the protagonist, and at this time, the first episode of the show was a success, and they are naturally not needed in the second episode.
Of course.
The main thing is also to consider safety, after all, the two are still children.
Putting down the plan, Lu Tian looked at Nathan and said, "I'm fine!" ”
.......
Lu Tian rested at the hotel for the night, and the next day took a small private jet to Santo Domingo on the island of Dorinha, where the second research ship docked.
In order to save time as much as possible, seven scientific research ships have been arranged around the entire Atlantic, and it can only be said that it is cool to have sufficient funds!
Of course~
Lu Tian knew that it wasn't just the reason for the sufficiency of funds...
Going to sea is actually still a very pleasant thing, Lu Tian is lazily lying on the bow of the ship at this time, watching the sunset in the distance, and directly below him, the camera is facing a person who looks like an old professor and saying: "In the eighteenth century, Spain's shipbuilding technology developed rapidly and became a hegemon that continued to expand outward. On May 28, 1708, a Spanish galleon called "San Jose" set sail from the port of Panama to return to Spain. The big ship was loaded with Spanish trophies, more than a billion dollars worth of gold, jewelry and other property were moved to this ship, the San Jose just set sail for a few days was relatively smooth, there were no problems, the captain was relieved, felt that there would be no problems, but on June 8, the San Jose encountered a strong obstacle - the British fleet! ”
The story explained by the old man is the purpose of their trip, there is no more treasure here in the Atlantic, Lu Tian's luck has been shown in the first episode, and the second episode naturally can't go the way of casting a net, this time Lu Tian wants to find this San Jose in the Atlantic Ocean of more than 7,600 square kilometers, with his own unique luck, in three opportunities to find this San Jose, and at this time they are heading towards the first position guided by Lu Tian.
In fact, the sinking site of this ship has been determined by countless treasure hunters, and it is estimated that it is at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea at a depth of 740 meters about 10 kilometers from the coast of Colombia, and the first location marked by Lu Tian is more than 300 kilometers away from the official estimated location.
In this part of the Caribbean, it is easy to think of pirates, in fact, the small islands around the Caribbean Sea are ideal places for pirates, because there is a steady stream of merchant ships transporting treasure and goods passing by, but pirate treasures have always been just rumors, in fact, there is no evidence, from the historical records, it can be found that typical pirates will squander after looting property, there is no leftover, and there are still pirates in this sea today, these pirate organizations usually sneak attack, rob the cargo of passing ships to survive.
At this time, Lu Tian picked up the high-powered telescope on his chest and looked into the distance, a speedboat was speeding towards them, he didn't remember that this was the first wave of pirates encountered today, at this time, Lu Tian through the advantage of equipment, he could see that a person on the boat was holding a monocular at this time and looked towards him, only to see him turn around and make a gesture behind him, and the speedboat immediately turned around and headed towards the island.
Putting down the binoculars, Lu Tian's face was full of regret, and then Zhao Feng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, they don't dare to come over, this is a scientific research ship, and there are two national flags hanging on board, they are fine~"
Most of the pirates here are just some islanders, and there may be lawbreakers, but the main thing is to seek money, generally rob merchant ships to collect tolls, and there are very few things that have been robbed and slaughtered, after all, they know very well that once they get into big trouble, the battle scars in their hands can not withstand the ship's artillery.
Lu Tian shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and then said softly, "Who knows? Maybe there will be a wave of outlaws trying to hijack the ship? In other words, the self-defense ability of this ship is not enough to stop pirates! ”
The two have become acquainted with each other in the past few days, and since Lu Tian has already recognized him, Zhao Feng naturally has no reason to hide, but Lu Tian still didn't ask his identity, just as an ordinary friend.
Hearing this at this time, Zhao Feng said with a serious face: "Don't worry about this!" If you're just a pirate, with the weapons currently rationed on board, it's enough to keep you safe! ”
There are nearly seventy people on this ship from top to bottom, except for the crew and those experts they invited, fifty of them are his people, and the convenience of the scientific research ship is that it can carry a certain amount of self-defense weapons, and coincidentally there are two national flags on this ship, so it can carry double the amount.
Be reasonable.
RPG on this scientific research ship, can only belong to conventional weapons, you can imagine how much firepower on this ship is, it belongs to the removal of water and food, the cabin is full of weapons, and at the same time three satellites are staring here, a hundred kilometers away, there are ships that can support at any time, not to mention pirates, even if this small country declares war on their scientific research ship, they are not afraid.
】
Zhao Feng's self-confidence infected Lu Tian, and at this time he nodded and said, "That's good!" Then my safety is in your hands, yes! What about Zhang Wei? Why didn't you see him? ”
Meanwhile.
Less than ten kilometers behind Lu Tian, a person sneezed at a depth of 200 meters underwater...
The time came to seven o'clock the next morning, and after a whole night of sailing, the research ship came to the location marked by Lu Tian, and two islands could be seen not far away.
Then.
The sonar showed that the average water depth in the sea ahead was less than five meters, but the bottom floor was relatively flat, and the ship could pass normally.
For example, his sitting posture is quite casual at this time, and when the cameraman on the side uncovers the lens cover, he immediately sits up straight and looks at the islands on both sides.
Then.
A sailor took a printed seabed outline map and photo, walked beside Lu Tian and said, "Mr. Lu Tian! With an average depth of five meters and no signs of a wreck after sonar detection, experts believe that the two unnamed islands should have been connected to each other, but they were submerged due to rising sea levels, so please give us the next step! ”
This small island is not marked on the map, Lu Tian nodded when he heard the sound, and then looked behind him, at this time a fishing boat was sailing towards their side, after all, this is the main route, Lu Tian didn't care much, and then looked at the sailor and said: "Let the divers go down and take a look first, just search within five hundred meters nearby, bring a metal detector, and notify me if you find it!" ”
Be reasonable.
The feeling of releasing the command is very refreshing, and Lu Tian is very addicted to this feeling, and he can't say why he likes it, but he just feels very comfortable.
At this time, the five frogmen took ten minutes to put on the equipment, and it was reasonable that diving was really not something ordinary people could afford, and their diving equipment added up to more than 100,000 dollars.
Then.
An expert walked up to Lu Tian, this Nathan had introduced him before, he was an expert in studying shipwrecks in the Caribbean Sea, at this time he stepped forward and said with a serious face: "Unfortunately, I have to tell you a fact, there should be no treasure in this sea area that you are looking for, even if the submarine current will change the location of the wreck, but you must at least go to the coast of Colombia to find it, as far as I know, there are no shipwrecks here, and it has only been flooded by the sea in recent decades!" ”
There is a conflict to have the effect of the show, but this is not the script, but the expert's own choice, at this time Nathan in the cabin sat up straight, with an expectant expression, wanting to see how Lu Tian would answer.
Lu Tian looked behind him when he heard the voice, and said with a very agreed expression: "I have three chances, don't I?" If you don't find it this time, I'll do it next time! Does Mr. Nazril think I have to know it once? ”
Hearing this, Nazriel shook his head frantically, this was not what he wanted to express, at this time he looked in the direction that Lu Tian had looked at before, and then said softly: "Oriental! I watched your first episode, and after making sure that everything was true, I took the initiative to contact the program team to be a guide, do you know what your luck means? ”
Nazriel looked at least sixty years old, the azure Tong Kong stared straight at Lu Tian at this time, Zhao Feng, who was not far away, stretched his left hand into his chest at this time, and Lu Tian shrugged his shoulders after hearing the sound and said, "What does it mean?" I do not know! I only know that I have luck that ordinary people don't have, but I would like to know what Mr. Nazril is trying to say. Can you tell me what you think my luck means? ”
Nazriel, a Chinese-Nordic mixed-race, blue eyes due to genetic mutations or genetic factors, graduated from the University of Southampton with a doctorate in oceanography, worked in an international marine research institute for more than ten years, and opened his own independent research institute after the age of forty-three, this is all the information that Zhao Feng knows.
Being clean doesn't mean not paying attention, at this time, anyone who is close to Lu Tian is not his own, he has to deal with it as an imaginary enemy, even if it is his own person, he will not be completely at ease, this is the reason why Liu Lao arranged him to Lu Tian.
At this time, Nazril put his hands on the side of the boat, turned his head to look at Lu Tian and said with a smile: "This means that you are different from ordinary people!" You can easily accomplish things that others can't, and you are the Son of God who God has given to the world! Get acquainted again! Nazril ~ an ordinary person who gave the first half of his life to the ocean and the second half to physics! ”
Looking at the hand stretched out by the old man in front of him, Lu Tian hesitated for more than a second before shaking it and said: "It's a pity that I don't believe in God, but I like the title of Son of God very much, I'm glad that you can think I'm very special, Lu Tian ~ a native of China!" ”
The two of them clasped their hands together, the old man's smile was very peaceful, and his eyes were extremely deep, as if he wanted to see through Lu Tian, when a boat whistle came from the distance, and the fishing boat appeared in front of them just now.
At this time, Nazril frowned and looked at the fishing boat in the distance, then turned his head again to look at Lu Tian and said with a serious face: "I think we should take a small boat to the island first, and arrange the boat in a farther place, it is likely that after the low tide, the original land will be exposed." ”
A ship of about 1,000 tons, with a draft of 3.5 meters, looking at the size of the other party's hull, it must be less than 1,000 tons by visual inspection, there is no reason to choose to consume more fuel to make a detour, the only reason is that the tide is about to ebb here, and the depth of the sea water will be less than 3.5 meters.
Lu Tian didn't say much when he heard this, after all, whether the expert's words were listened to or not depended on the situation.
Then the hull of the ship was activated again, leaving two kayaks for the divers, and the research ship sped off towards the deep sea.
The speed of the low tide is very fast, and after the scientific research ship sailed away from this shallow sea area, at this time, according to sonar measurements, the deepest position of the sea is only four meters!
Zhao Feng pulled his left hand out of his jacket pocket at this time, and looked at the direction in which Nazriel left, only then did he turn his head to look at Lu Tian and said, "Do you think he wants to stay here forever?" ”
He had already informed Liu Lao of the exposure of his identity, and after learning of this situation, Liu Lao did not blame him, but smiled and said that he would know if he knew, and at the same time said that if there was anything that could not be decided, he could directly consult Lu Tian's thoughts, and his decision was equivalent to an order, and Liu Feng did this at this time.
Lu Tian also instantly understood what he meant, shook his head and said, "No! My instincts told me that he would not do me any harm, on the contrary, it would be very beneficial for me to have him on this trip! ”
When the luck value is above eighty, he can fully trust his instincts, and his whole person becomes lazy again.
