140、Thames River shipwreck incident (ask for subscription and monthly pass)

At 11 a.m., the sky changed.

Lead clouds gradually drifted over the city of London, signaling an impending storm.

On the Thames, the shipping channel is still busy, and this sudden interception and inspection is aimed at ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to stop ships of all sizes together for inspection, with the same amount of manpower as the customs.

As a result, cargo ships and yachts with a small displacement can still swim on the Thames undisturbed.

After Yuan Ze and Anderson left the Addison Hotel, they quickly went to a pier near London Bridge and boarded a luxury yacht arranged by Anderson.

As the largest port in the UK, the Port of London was built along the river, and many docks, oil terminals, and riverside docks were built on both sides of the Thames River for loading and unloading cargo.

There were as many as sixty or seventy ships intercepted and inspected this time, which was quite a lot, so they could not dock at a single pier, but could only anchor along the river.

The boats were stopped before 8 a.m., and after they were stopped, the customs side took all the people on board away from the ships and brought them to shore as soon as possible in order to prevent the people on board from destroying the evidence.

According to the information obtained by Anderson, the inspection will officially start at 6 p.m., without a break until the inventory is completed.

It is worth mentioning that the seven people contacted by Anderson just now basically have a displacement of more than 5,000 tons.

"Mr. Yuan, look, that's the Jace!" As soon as the yacht passed under the London Bridge, Anderson pointed to a freighter nearly 100 meters long.

"Hmm." Yuan Ze nodded, took out his mobile phone to take a photo, and determined the specific location of the Lower Jace on the map.

Then, Anderson was sent to the next freighter.

After seeing all the freighters of the seven people, the time was already 12 noon.

Yuan Ze said to Anderson: "Okay, Mr. Anderson, you can go ashore." ”

“OK。” Anderson nodded, let people return, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yuan, it's already 12 o'clock, when will your people start to do it?" ”

Yuan Ze smiled: "After I go ashore safely, I will notify them of the action, besides, are you sure that there are no personnel on these freighters?" ”

Anderson bowed: "That's right, this time the attitude of the customs side is very resolute, and directly let all the personnel get off the ship, otherwise, if there are personnel on the ship, we will not have no way to ...... at all."

If someone is on the boat, no one else will mention it, just say Anderson, he can bear the pain and throw all the gold and those guns into the Thames, where do you need to ask Yuan Ze for help.

To take the step of shipwreck, you have to pull more people together, in the final analysis, there is no way.

If there is any other way, he will not choose this method of cutting off his arms and meat.

"It's good that there is no one, otherwise the shipwreck will accidentally injure some innocent people, and it will easily cause more trouble." Yuan Zedao.

"I'm still curious, what method does Mr. Yuan and his people plan to use to sink the ship, can they really do it?" Anderson was worried.

"Yes, trust me." Yuan Ze didn't say much.

"Well, I can only trust you now." Anderson laughed.

Anderson had already made up his mind that if he didn't see a ship sinking before four o'clock in the afternoon, he would go directly to the airport and take the plane arranged by his assistant Wells and fly out of England.

Anyway, he would never stay in England and wait for the big knife to be cut down by the big knife of trial.

After Yuan Ze went ashore, just in case, he took out a 'confidentiality agreement' to sign with Anderson.

In this regard, Anderson smiled and said that it should be so, and he signed the agreement very happily.

With the endorsement of the confidentiality agreement, Yuan Ze is not afraid that Anderson will betray himself afterwards, and he can do it boldly with confidence.

So, he asked Anderson to find a hotel with a high view of the Thames River and check in.

and locked himself in a room near the river, pretending to be on the phone, saying that he was going to arrange for someone to act.

At the same time, let Hou Yuankui and Xiong Bin stay outside the door, and don't let others come in and disturb them.

In the hotel room, Yuan Ze took out a black remote control from his black handbag, reached out and touched it, and instantly lit up the screen of the remote control.

Since arriving in London two days ago and taking out the gold from the Nugget Assistant's storage module, Yuan Ze has not let the Nugget Assistant be idle.

As the busiest river in Britain for hundreds of years, there are many shipwrecks on the Thames, and there are more than 1,100 recorded shipwrecks.

It's hard to come to London for a trip, how could Yuan Ze let go of the gold nuggets in the Thames?

Therefore, after going to the warehouse to put the gold in the warehouse that day, Yuan Ze found an opportunity to put the gold nugget assistant into a sewer and let it drill into the Thames River, let it cruise automatically, and scan, excavate and purify the gold.

At this time, I saw a row of eye-catching text displayed on the remote control interface of the Nugget Assistant.

[Nugget assistant is working on automatic cruising along the river...... THE BEARING IS 226.3 DEGREES WEST, AND THE STRAIGHT-LINE DISTANCE IS 5KM...... 228.66 kg of 24K gold has been mined and refined. 】

"228.66 kilograms, not bad, not bad, there are so many harvests in just one or two days, which is much faster than before in China......

While cruising along the river, the Nuggets found many shipwrecks, including those from the 19th century and World War II.

However, although there are many shipwrecks, gold is hard to find, and only three shipwreck sites have so far found a considerable amount of gold buried deep in the river bottom.

Coupled with the excavation and purification of the loose gold in the sediment at the bottom of the river, nearly 230 kilograms have been mined.

"Now, it's time to get down to business......

Abroad, Yuan Ze's mind is presumptuous, and he is not as restrained as at home.

Therefore, this made a bold suggestion to Anderson to sink the ship, which was really not a big deal to see the excitement, and even detonated the incident.

As for how to sink a freighter of thousands of tons or tens of thousands of tons, Yuan Ze certainly has only one option, that is, to use the Nugget assistant to make trouble.

The Nugget Assistant's sharp drill bit, coupled with the maximum operating power of up to 32MW provided by the fusion module, can operate in any crustal environment not higher than 600K underwater, underground, etc., and can quickly drill holes and advance in hard rock layers.

Anyway, the hulls of these freighters are not thick now, and with the powerful power and drilling efficiency of the Nugget Assistant, the bottom of the ship can be chiseled through or even unloaded.

Wouldn't it be easy to wreck a ship?

"Let's get started, start with the biggest boat! Smith's ship, with a displacement of 15,000 tons, may not be as good as those oil tankers of hundreds of thousands of tons, but I have seen it from afar just now, and it is quite shocking to look at, and it is also a giant! ”

Smith's 15,000-ton cargo ship, with a total length of about 120 meters and a width of 21 meters, will indeed be shocking when you look closely.

But in fact, due to the development of shipbuilding technology, the cost of these cargo ships is very cheap.

For example, in Europe, the new cargo ships of 10,000 tons are only three or four million dollars cheaper, and tens of millions of dollars are more expensive.

Of course, there is not much technical content, when the design drawings are popularized, as soon as industrialization is formed, only the materials of the engine and hull are slightly worth a little money.

Yuan Ze pointed at the map, controlled the Nuggets assistant, and let him quickly shuttle at the bottom of the Thames, and soon arrived at the location of the Smith freighter.

Then a working point was selected at the tail of the freighter, and drilling began.

On the interface of the remote control, the picture of the work of the Nugget assistant was transmitted.

Yuan Ze originally thought that the hull materials of these cargo ships were made of fine steel or cast iron, so they could at least resist it, right?

ONLY TO SEE, THE MAIN DRILL BIT OF THE NUGGET ASSISTANT, LIKE CUTTING TOFU, FLASHED WITH A DAZZLING RED LIGHT AT THE INCISION, AND THE 30MM THICK STEEL PLATE WAS CUT IN SECONDS BEFORE IT COULD REACT.

"That's it?"

Yuan Ze was stunned.

Originally, he also thought that the boat cutting work should consume a lot of time for the Nuggets assistant.

Therefore, I didn't dare to make a big statement in front of Anderson before.

It means that by 6 p.m., in addition to the Jace, up to 5 more freighters will be cut.

But now I see that this is the same as cutting tofu, and it is only about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is still nearly five hours until 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

Not to mention 5 freighters, if you don't consider the degree of destruction, only consider the sunken ship, a ship cut a few big holes, 50 ships are not a problem.

So, Yuan Ze controlled the gold digging assistant to surround the freighter, which was about 120 meters long, 21 meters wide, and had a displacement of 15,000 tons, cut an oval hole out, and directly unloaded the bottom of the ship.

As a result, it only took five minutes.

By the time the Nuggets assistant completely unloaded the bottom of the ship, most of the 15,000-ton cargo ship had sunk into the river, leaving only the captain's room and observation platform at the top still floating on the water.

Yuan Ze once again manipulated the Nuggets assistant to further cut the ship.

According to his plan, after cutting off the bottom of the ship and sinking the ship, he had to cut four circles around the hull from the bottom up.

Together with the bottom of the ship, it was divided into five layers like cutting cheese, completely destroying the protruding structure of the hull.

In this way, even if the Thames is not very deep, the wreck can be completely submerged.

There is a saying that practice makes perfect, when cutting the bottom of the boat, Yuan Ze took five minutes, but as his proficiency gradually went up, the remaining four laps took less than fifteen minutes.

Therefore, from the beginning of cutting the hull to the completion, it takes about 20 minutes to complete the full calculation.

"The biggest is done, it will take at least two months to build, but it will only take twenty minutes to disintegrate, what a hurry, next up, Mrs. Taylor's ship!"

Yuan Ze cut it well just now.

However, he did not consider the feelings of others.

On a sightseeing pier on the River Thames, a group of tourists from other places have their eyes straight.

"WTF, what's that?"

"Look, the ship is sinking!"

"Oh my God, it's sinking so fast, such a huge ship, it must have tens of thousands of tons, how can it be ......"

"What the hell is going on, on the Thames, how can there be a 10,000-ton freighter suddenly sinking!"

"Water ghosts, there must be water ghosts in the water, according to legend, the Thames ......"

"Shut up, you, it's still legendary, it's the 21st century now, where did the water ghost come from? Besides, water ghosts are generally very small, can they eat a giant ship of more than 100 meters? It's so funny, it's obviously a monster, okay? ”

“……”

When these people were still amazed at how the 15,000-ton freighter could suddenly sink.

What they didn't know was that two kilometers downstream, there was also a group of people who were making the same noises of surprise.

Compared with Smith's 15,000-ton freighter, Mrs. Taylor's freighter has a displacement of 12,000 tons, which is a little smaller.

However, it is also a huge ship with a length of more than 100 meters.

As the technique became more proficient, it took Yuan Ze about 15 minutes to break her.

This was followed by Anderson's Jace and Peter's, both with a displacement of 5,000 tons.

The two boats, combined with the time to travel and identify, took a total of 30 minutes.

After a lot of work, when Yuan Ze sank all the agreed 4 freighters, the time had just come to 2:10 in the afternoon.

In other words, is there any difference between this speed and chopping melons and vegetables?

Yuan Ze thought about it carefully, there is still a difference, well, it is more casual than chopping melons and vegetables.

After finishing the matter, Yuan Ze remotely controlled the gold digging assistant and went to salvage and mine the gold on Anderson's freighter.

A total of 432.3 kilograms of gold were collected, plus the gold mined in the Thames River before, which made the gold in Yuan Ze's hands accumulate another 660.96 kilograms.

Originally, he had come to London to sell the gold, but now it was better, and the gold that had been sold before was back in his own hands.

Even, there are more than 300 kilograms out, which is simply ...... Blood to earn!

However, Yuan Ze can't resell this gold in London in a short period of time, otherwise it will be bad for Anderson to know something, and it will destroy the friendship.

Anyway, now that even Anderson has tacitly acquiesced that this batch of gold is gone, if Yuan Ze takes it out and returns it to him without conscience, it will be a bit disrespectful to Anderson.

Then you can only put it in your pocket first, and when it is appropriate to turn around, you can sell it to him again, and it will be the same.

Anderson is a local tyrant, and he has no shortage of money to buy gold.

After getting the gold, Yuan Ze had nothing to do at the moment, so he continued to control the gold digging assistant and began to sabotage the embargoed goods on the ship.

Under the powerful mining and crushing functions of the Nugget Assistant, it is basically swallowed in seconds and spit out in seconds, including those prohibited medical equipment, firearms, ores, medicines, etc.

……

In the next room, Anderson stood by the windowsill, looking at the Thames in the distance, silently smoking a cigar, looking calm.

However, his slightly flushed face showed that his heart was not at peace at the moment.

"FK God, what is the identity of the Chinese man surnamed Yuan, and his person is actually ...... It only took an hour or so to sink the entire four freighters, which is unbelievable......"

Not long ago, Anderson witnessed the disappearance of Smith's 15,000-ton cargo ship on the Thames.

Anderson thought that Yuan Ze would arrange for the dead to be driven by a yacht or other vehicle, approaching the freighter, and using explosives to carry out a suicide blast.

However, Yuan Ze's men did not carry out the blasting, and without even making any major movements, the boat slowly sank to the bottom of the river and sank completely.

And, Anderson swore that he had never seen the freighter that had approached Smith just now, and that before the freighter began to sink into the river, there was no sign or call, as if it had been targeted by a ghost, and had disappeared into the river without realizing it.

Anderson couldn't help but shudder at the thought that there was a force lurking in London that could quietly make the 10,000-ton giant ship disappear.

This made him secretly determined that he would never be able to take a boat again!

At this moment, Anderson's phone rang suddenly, and he took it and looked at it, and put it to his ear to answer.

"Boss, it's bad, it's bad, it's a big deal!" Jack's anxious and frightened voice came: "Just now, just now, our Jace sank and was eaten by the monsters of the Thames......"

"Hahaha, how can this be said to be bad, this is a good thing." Anderson laughed.

"Uh, a good thing?" Jack was stunned.

Anderson didn't explain much, but ordered: "Now, you immediately go to the customs and cry, saying that because of their detention, our ship sank for no reason, and demand compensation from them." ”

"Huh?" Jack was stunned, can he still do this?

"Remember, be angry, angry, sad, and aggressive, and not give in a single step."

"Boss, isn't this ......?"

"Don't ask, it's not good for you to know more, do what I say, understand?"

"Okay boss, I see! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

"Well, that's it."
