When Captain Watfa was debating that the "Bohanse" was him, the two young men from country C sat beside them in amazement, and did not respond for a long time.

"When I bought this famous underwater archaeological mother ship from the International Association of Prehistoric and Protohistorical Sciences the year before last, it was already in tatters, and I sold the house and life savings that my family had left me, and many people thought I was crazy and sold my property to buy an old ship that had been in a major accident. But I think it's worth it. ”

"Captain, is this ship going abroad for a big accident?" Zhao Shouxun asked.

"Yes, in 1991, somewhere in the depths of the Ocean X, while exploring an Atlantis, the "Pohanse" suddenly burst into flames, and all the information on the ship was burned, killing and wounding more than 30 people at that time, and the detection and positioning equipment on the ship was basically destroyed. ”

The old man seemed reluctant to recall the sad past.

"I was in charge of the project on this ship at the time, and I saw the tragedy of the ship in flames with my own eyes, and the tragic scene still haunts me to this day."

"If it weren't for the warships of country F that were on a mission nearby to come to the rescue in time, I am afraid that this ship and the remaining crew members on board would have died at the bottom of the X Ocean."

"Why wasn't such a big deal reported by the media at the time?"

"It's a secret underwater archaeological activity, privately funded by Freemasonry, and it's absolutely secret, and we've all signed confidentiality agreements."

"Captain, what kind of secret project is it......." Guan Zhuolin couldn't help but ask.

"I'm sorry, but I signed a non-disclosure agreement and can't reveal it to anyone!"

"Captain, since this ship has experienced such a major accident, can it still be used? Of course, I don't mean anything else, I just want to know if the "Pohanse" will be able to go to sea to complete the mission after the overhaul? ”

"Zhao, you don't have to worry about this, this ship happened to be built by our Blomforth shipyard in the eighties, at that time it was the most advanced underwater archaeological mother ship in the world, and the advanced equipment it was equipped with is mostly not outdated even today, the service life of the Pohan Se theory is forty years, if it weren't for that accident, from the perspective of a ship, she would be a young man as energetic as you and Guan."

"Mr. Hans, can you provide a detailed test report? Captain, please forgive me, I don't mean anything else, salvaging the ancient shipwreck of Country C is too important to my family, and I want to take care of it for my family. Zhao Shouxun said firmly.

"Young man, I don't mind, I commend you for your truth-seeking and professionalism." Captain Waterfa said with a smile on his face.

"Of course, we at Blomforth Shipyard will develop a lifelong file for each ship and equipment that leaves the factory, especially for ships that are returned to the factory for repair, we will definitely do a third-party damage inspection report for the shipowner's consideration and comparison. Frankly speaking, however, when the Bohan Se was pulled back to the slipway, it was really miserable, and the original owner read the inspection report and decided that the value of the repair was too low, so he decided not to repair it again, so there was a chance for Captain Watfa to buy her with all his money. ”

"Yes, I think that the repair value of the "Pohanse" is much higher than the value of her damage, in fact, the fire and the cabins are in the data room and the location detection equipment room on the foredeck, and the other cabins are basically undamaged. ”

"Here's a report from the Saxon National Arms Society, which clearly shows that the fire was caused by a short circuit in the wires in the data room, which ignited the data room, and then spread from the data room to a nearby cabin."

After Mr. Hans finished speaking, he took out a document from the filing cabinet next to his desk, and was engaged in the third-party inspection report of the "Bohanse".

Hans handed the report to Zhao Shouxun, who shrugged his shoulders and said apologetically:

"Mr. Hans, I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the German language, so please help me take a look!"

Guan Zhuolin took the information and quickly flipped through it at a glance.

"Well, the data shows that the main structure and power of the "Bohanse" have not been damaged, but the equipment for detection, positioning and deep diving has been damaged, and it is completely necessary to repair it, and we have more advanced equipment. Guan Zhuolin communicated with Zhao Shouxun in the vernacular.

If the C national language is a secret code, then the vernacular as a dialect is a super password, and few foreigners can understand it.

"Do you want to call China for instructions?"

"It's important, so let's ask for instructions!"

So the two called separately, and Zhao Shouxun called Old Man Lie, after all, he was the person in charge of the entire salvage work.

And Guan Zhuolin called Guan Hao.

Soon, China gave a positive answer: it was agreed that the "Bohansai" would participate in the salvage of the wreck in the South China Sea in the form of leasing after the overhaul.

"Captain Otfa, Mr. Hans, my client agrees that the "Bohansai" will participate in the salvage of the ancient shipwreck in the South China Sea of Country C on a charter basis after speeding up the overhaul progress, and my client is willing to bear the corresponding expenses incurred by the "Bohansai" to complete the overhaul ahead of schedule. Kwan Zhuolin said.

Zhao Shouxun on the side then said in English: "Captain Waterfa, as for the content and specific terms of cooperation between the Ancient Shipwreck Salvage Foundation of Country C and you, I ask you to put it forward as soon as possible, as long as it is not too outrageous, we can accept it." ”

"Okay, refreshing! Let's go back to the hotel and talk! I'm starting to miss the cat poop coffee that gave me off! ”

The three of them said goodbye to Mr. Hans, got in the car and returned to the Fairmont Vere Garetan Hotel in H City, it was already noon time for dinner.

After the three of them calmly enjoyed a sumptuous French meal in the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel, the negotiation of cooperation between the two sides began.

The whole negotiation is actually not as complicated as imagined, one in line with the attitude that cooperation is acceptable as long as the conditions are not too outrageous, and the other in line with the attitude that as long as you do it with Freemasonry, your own interests do not matter, so a consensus was quickly reached, for the sake of an an, Guan Zhuolin contacted colleagues in the legal department, and the two sides agreed to sign a formal cooperation agreement with Mingzhu, in order to show the sincerity of the ancient shipwreck salvage foundation of country C, after asking for instructions, The National C Ancient Shipwreck Foundation paid an advance payment of $10 million to Captain Watta, which was used for the early overhaul of the "Bohanse" and other expenses in the early stage.

Captain Waterfa also asked a very important question:

"Two young men, it is a pleasure to work with you, and in view of the accident of the previous archaeological activities of the "Bohanse" in the Atlantic, I myself find many doubts that are difficult to explain and accept, and I have a small suggestion. ”

"Captain, in the words of our country C, now we are a family, the so-called family is not two words, in the future, the matter of underwater archaeology is up to you, if you have any suggestions, we will definitely support it!"

"I feel that the accident of the Pohan Se in the Atlantic Ocean was man-made, so I suggest that the original crew members on the ship need to be re-recruited, and that people who are not fully trusted cannot stay on the ship, so the personnel on the Pohan Se need to be vigorously reorganized. ”

"Thanks, Captain, for the reminder! I think it's necessary from a security standpoint. ”

"Okay, then we'll arrange the ship's staff!"

There are two types of personnel working on the board of the mother ship of underwater archaeology, one is the crew who maintains the normal operation of the ship, and the other is the operator of underwater archaeology.

These two types of people are relatively difficult to find for the ancient shipwreck salvage foundation in country C, the latter, professional underwater archaeologists.

This can only give high hopes to Guan Hao's underwater diving team.

As for the crew, it is relatively simple, and some of the crew members on the distant-water fishing vessels in Tai O Village can be transferred. Recruiting some more reliable ones can also solve the problem.

In general, the crew of 5,000-ton ocean-going vessels with a relatively high level of automation are divided into three departments:

Deck escort: 5 people, including the captain, first officer, second officer, and sailor on duty

The marine engineering department is equipped with: chief engineer, chief engineer, second engineer, and 2 mechanics on duty, a total of 5 people

The Department of Affairs is equipped with: Chief Clerk, Chef, Desk, Carpenter, Electrician, Correspondent, Medical Officer, etc. Total: 7 people.

Therefore, a 5,000-ton sea ship is equipped with a normal crew of 17 people, if it is equipped with a helicopter, there must be a helicopter flight and support team, including pilots, navigators, ground staff and mechanics, etc., at least 5 people.

Of course, the "Bohansai" is an ocean-going underwater archaeological mother ship, which means that she is also accompanied by a variety of special equipment, including: detection, information analysis, salvage, diving, positioning, etc., each plate needs to have a team, so that a professional underwater archaeology team also needs a total of about 20 people.

Therefore, the "Bohanse" needs at least 50 people on board the long-term and able to carry out business work.

After the communication of the other party, the final solution is:

The ship's crew, partly recruited by Captain Otfa himself.

Guan Hao and the others have analyzed that as a senior member of the "anti-Semitic" organization in the country of the will, and the old man who has just been set on fire by the Freemasons and destroyed his own home, he will definitely be very cautious in the recruitment and selection of crew members, which is definitely more stringent than the screening of the ancient shipwreck salvage foundation in country C.
