Ma Hailong is worthy of being a big hand, he has long guessed that this time to go to sea, the owner will give us new equipment.

When I received the equipment, I looked down and saw that the diving suit in my hand was completely different from the one sent to me by Xiaolingwei before, and it could even be said that it was not a thing at all.

Previously, Xiaoling Weifa's diving suit was relatively lightweight, the material was relatively thin, and the oxygen cylinder was also a small model, which was convenient for activities in the water.

But this time, the equipment sent by the new owner is quite thick, and there is a diving helmet on the head that is one size bigger than a basketball, and the oxygen cylinder is also extra-large, and there is a trachea as thick as a sugar cane in the middle, connecting the oxygen cylinder and the diving suit.

Ma Hailong told me that this trachea, nicknamed the "umbilical cord", is the most important and vulnerable thing in the whole set of equipment, and it must be protected after going to sea.

The previous divers could only come back six out of ten, and those who did not come back were not because they encountered any ferocious animals in the sea, or encountered any undercurrents, whirlpools, etc., but because they failed to protect this "umbilical cord".

Because there are many broken masts, decks and the like on the wreck, coupled with the age, many parts have been petrified seriously, and the fractures have become extremely sharp, as long as the "umbilical cord" is broken, the oxygen will be lost in large quantities, and finally the diver will suffocate to death.

After all, we have to go down to a few hundred meters underwater to operate, and this altitude will not be able to dive up for a while and a half, that is, once the "umbilical cord" is broken, nine out of ten people will be gone.

After listening to Ma Hailong, I hurriedly touched the "umbilical cord" and said, "I understand, no wonder this thing is called the umbilical cord, if the umbilical cord is cut, we will have no oxygen." ”

"That's right." Ma Hailong said seriously, "So you must be careful under the water, even if you see a valuable baby, don't worry, don't grab it, if you act a little rashly, you may hang up the umbilical cord behind you." ”

Uncle Mei and I nodded repeatedly.

At this time, the crew who distributed the equipment shouted some words at the divers, all in Thai, and I couldn't understand a word.

Yu Xiaobo translated for us, and the man was telling us the approximate location of the Ayutthaya shipwreck under the sea, and also said that the oxygen cylinders provided for us would last about eight to nine hours, and that we must come back within nine hours, otherwise there would be a risk of suffocation.

In addition to this, he pointed to the other side of the cabin, where there were several bamboo baskets marked with the numbers corresponding to those on our wetsuits.

The crew member said, when the time comes, we will put all the treasures in that box, and when the settlement is made, those who want to take 50,000 yuan will take 50,000 yuan, and those who want to pick up treasures will pick one from the treasures they have fished up in this box, and take one away.

I glanced at the number on my wetsuit, and I almost didn't stop scolding my mother on the spot.

I am number 14, and the number 14 is not lucky in our country, because the homonym is "to die".

Uncle Mei's is No. 11, a little stronger than mine, Yu Xiaobo has the smoothest hand, he takes No. 18, the homonym is "to be sent", and Ma Hailong is No. 3, which is also decent.

I looked at my number plate and said, "Unlucky." ”

Uncle Mei glanced at me, and also said "ouch", and said helplessly: "Rongsheng, why did you get this unlucky number?" ”

"I didn't pay attention to the number on the wetsuit at the time, and if I did, I wouldn't have been able to ask for the number 14." I said with a wry smile.

Yu Xiaobo hurriedly comforted me and said, "It's okay, don't think about it, we are now in the waters of Thailand, follow the customs, Thailand's 14 is not to die when you read it, so there is no taboo." ”

What else can I say? I can only accept my fate, even if I want to change numbers with others now, no one is willing to change them with me.

In the end, I could only reluctantly put on the No. 14 diving suit, and climbed down the side of the boat with Uncle Mei, Yu Xiaobo, and Ma Hailong, and started diving.

Although we drove far from the port, the sea in this area was actually not deep, and according to Yu Xiaobo's translation, the Ayutthaya wreck was about three or four hundred meters below the surface of the sea.

If the shipwreck is deep, it is impossible for us divers to dive artificially, and the water is so deep that the underwater pressure is unbearable for ordinary people, and the human body may not be able to withstand it.

I followed Yu Xiaobo and Ma Hailong all the way underwater, and at first I thought diving was a very romantic thing, and I could see a lot of fish and corals in the sea.

Later, I found that I thought too much, there was nothing in the sea water in this area, and after diving for about ten minutes, I didn't even see a single fish.

Further down, you will gradually encounter schools of fish, but these fish are small and have little ornamental value.

After diving some distance further, I suddenly saw a huge black shadow appear not far below, and the black shadow was like an underwater palace, looming in the waves.

Because it was night, there was no sun at sea, and it was pitch black underwater, so it could only be illuminated by divers' headlamps.

The glow of these headlamps was completely unable to illuminate the entire undersea space, and the dark shadow was never clear.

But I knew in my heart that this should be the silent Ayutthaya treasure ship.

I really wanted to communicate with Uncle Mei, but because I was wearing a diving helmet and they couldn't hear what I was talking about, I could only get excited by myself and speed up the dive at the same time.

By this time, the divers who had rushed ahead had come to the vicinity of the black shadow, and as the searchlight above their heads shone past, I could vaguely see the outline of the black shadow.

Sure enough, this was the Ayutthaya treasure ship, and by the dim light of the divers' headlights, I saw that the ship was about twenty meters long and less than ten meters wide, and it cracked in the middle and broke in two, and the bow and stern were inserted into the deep sand of the seabed.

It was still shocking to see such a huge ancient shipwreck, and I quickly picked up speed again and dived towards the location of the wreck.

But at this moment, I vaguely saw several dark shadows emerge from the cabin as the divers in front of me approached the treasure ship.

The black images were fish, but it was not clear what they looked like, and they emerged from the cabin and began to wander around, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

I was startled at first, but quickly ignored them, after all, the ship had sunk at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, and it was only natural that there was something parasitic on board.

I didn't expect to ignore them, but they took the initiative to swim in my direction, because the four of us and the local group of divers were acting separately, and these dark shadows should be trying to avoid the group of Thai divers, but they rushed in our direction!
