"I'm going to buy a water pump." Big Ivan raised his hand and took the initiative to find a job for himself.

"Buy more rubber hoses"

Elena pulled out the salvage probe and waved it as a reminder, "As long as it can be connected to it, buy a few pairs of skis and sleds, the cheapest ones will do."

"Understood!" After Big Ivan said this, he got into the cab and returned to Vyazma.

While Big Ivan went shopping, Shi Quan returned to the car and dug out a thick map storage book. The area of ​​​​this swamp is not small, and using high-pressure water cannons to dig it will inevitably greatly reduce work efficiency.

But on the other hand, they don't have so much time to waste. Valeria will send someone over tonight to pick up the body of the female medic. Then they have to rush to Moscow in three days to see Valeria and

Ludenkov, these two big guys.

After all, Victory Day is coming soon. Even if you think about it from the darkest perspective, these two high-ranking federal officials are willing to do something to help these World War II veterans at this time. After all, it is not easy to find such a suitable credit. As for the club

Of course, I am also happy to participate in this matter. This is a good thing for everyone.

Elena stayed in Shiquan's car, making coffee and eating snacks, while the latter sat on the sofa, flipping through old maps related to the Battle of Moscow and Vyazma.

There are indeed many things buried in this swamp with an area of ​​less than five square kilometers. When he passed the related map in his hand, a total of 13 green arrows and one white arrow appeared in this swamp.

.

Unfortunately, 9 of these 13 green arrowheads are all located deep in the swamp. Even if they could find them, they wouldn't be able to get them out unless the ground freezes in winter.

Two of the remaining four arrowheads are more than 10 meters deep from the surface. Digging them out at this depth is also a long-term and large project.

After some sifting, only two green arrows that were not too far from the shore, close to each other, and even buried less than five meters deep were left in the map view, as well as one that was hidden directly under one of the green arrows.

white arrow.

There is really no reason to give up on the three arrows that appear in a cluster. Whether they can be dug out depends on Elena's methods.

"Elena, what is the maximum fishing depth of this kind of swamp?" Shi Quan asked an extremely layman's question.

"With our equipment, we can fish out anything within 15 meters as long as we are willing to take the time."

Elena said without raising her head. At this time, she was concentrating on tasting a pack of plain hairy tripe that she found out from somewhere.

"We don't have much time"

Shi Quan picked up a pack of snacks from the table and opened it, "If the best results can be obtained within three days, if the results cannot be obtained within three days, we only have a week at most."

"So urgent?" Elena reacted, "You want to find the Sulfur Camp?"

"There's no rush regarding Camp Sulfur. After all, there aren't many clues yet."

Shi Quan stood up and took two cartons of milk from the refrigerator, "The new car will arrive in five days, and your car will also be sent for modification. You and Ono will go over and keep an eye on the modification progress. Ivan and Nasha will go there.

France and Italy are looking for clues. It’s just me and Yakov who can’t complete the rest of the work.”

"Isn't this still Camp Sulfur?"

Seeing Shi Quan's imperceptible nod, Elena muttered, "The fragile treasure, the Egyptian treasure, each sounds more unreliable than the other. I don't think they can find any clues."

"You have to try to find out." Shi Quan nonchalantly folded the picked map into small squares and stuffed it into his pocket, "Tell me how you plan to dig later."

“very simple”

Elena pulled out the straws of the two cartons of milk, "Assuming this is a probe, just connect a water pump to the back to turn it into a water gun, so that it can easily poke into the swamp. The rest of the work is

What we had to do in Belarus was no different, except that the air compressor was replaced with a high-pressure water pump."

"Are you sure you can pull it out?" Shi Quan couldn't help but ask the same question he had in Belarus.

“The only difference is how many anchor needles are used.”

Elena confidently gave a similar answer as before, "And this time the anchor needles have been improved. Each anchor needle can withstand at least 5 tons of pulling force. It uses the arresting cable on the aircraft carrier.

The quality is much better than the previous civilian products.”

"Where did you find this thing?" Shi Quan asked curiously.

"Introduced by Vika," Elena thought for a moment, "a Chechen from the Smolensk tractor trading market."

Shi Quan suddenly realized that he had bought his first dry diving suit from there. "When the time comes, you will be in charge. If you really find something, I will give you a bonus."

"Don't worry!" Elena dropped the straw in her hand and continued to compete with the snacks.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Big Ivan returned to the wasteland on the edge of the swamp at lightning speed.

"A total of five water pumps were purchased."

Big Ivan asked He Tianlei to help him move the equipment down with the swing arm and continued, "I bought ten sleds and ten pairs of skis. Is that enough?"

"How many meters of water pipe did you buy?" Elena asked with satisfaction.

"I bought a total of five 50-meter ones and 10 25-meter ones. They can all be linked together."

"Put the water pump on the sled and secure it."

Elena experiencedly directed the work on site, "We can look for targets up to 75 meters away on both sides of the river bank. Be sure to put on your skis when you walk towards the river later. I don't want to use an anchor needle to fish you out."

As she spoke, Elena put down the anchor needle with three thick barbed hooks and picked up the probe with a strong magnet. "In addition, due to time constraints, our search limit should not exceed seven meters.

, it will take a week or two to catch anything below seven meters. The length of each of these probes is 110 centimeters, which means that each person can take up to seven probes."

While Elena was explaining, the Big Ivan brothers had already fixed five diesel water pumps firmly on the sled with thick iron wires. Behind the sled was a 25-meter-long water pumping pipe, and at the other end was a long

A 50-meter-long water outlet pipe coiled in a circle. At the other end of the water outlet pipe is the same probe in Elena's hand.

Except for Nasha, who was still busy searching for information, Liu Xiaoye also joined the excavation activity this time. For her, a girl who grew up on the beach, this set of guys is really the same as digging some kind of sand on the beach.

The tools used for seafood are very similar.

Putting on their skis, the five people each pulled a sled and distributed it on the channels of the two rivers. They first threw the water pipes and filters into the river, then started the diesel engine and poured a large bucket of water into the turbocharger.

After waiting for a long time, the probe in his hand began to spray out a long water column.

Big Ivan glanced at the muddy car parked on the edge of the swamp, and finally gave up the idea of ​​washing the car with a high-pressure water gun. The swamp was right on the roadside, and if a passing enthusiast saw it and called the police, they would definitely

It's a trouble. Wait a little longer and wash it after dark!

Big Ivan is definitely not the only one who has the same idea. Everyone tacitly agrees to keep the exploration area far away from the RV, and then moves in the direction of the RV. At this speed, the car can be washed after dark, which is perfect.

!

In addition to planning to wash the car, Shi Quan focused all his attention on the three arrows less than 20 meters away from him. Although he knew that the things were buried there, he had not been able to fish them out with the probe and anchor needle.

But there is a question mark regarding craftsmanship.

Holding the probe tightly, which had huge recoil and strong water pressure due to the smaller inner diameter, Shi Quan randomly selected a position, manipulated the water flow to break through the hard shell on the surface of the swamp, and poked the probe in little by little.

As the extension tubes are continuously stacked one after another, when the only seven iron tubes are connected together, there is still plenty of space under the probe.

It's normal that he couldn't find it the first time... Shi Quan muttered to himself, and then heard Liu Xiaoye, who was some distance away from him, shouting, "I seem to have found something! The magnet has been

Suck it up!"

"Is this okay?"

Shi Quan smacked his lips, quickly turned off the water pump and stepped on his skis in the direction of Liu Xiaoye. Thanks to the experienced Elena, if she didn't have these skis under her feet, she would have fallen into the mud.

When everyone gathered around, Liu Xiaoye still held the probe in his dirty little hands and spoke excitedly and incoherently, "Right down there, I can feel the 'duang!' hitting it, and then the magnet sucked.

It’s over there! It’s the first time I’ve given someone an acupuncture and I’ve never been so accurate!”

Elena looked down at the swamp where the smelly water kept pouring up, and she calmly took out the anchor needle and extension tube on her back, "How many tubes can you poke in?"

"Two!" Liu Xiaoye thought for a moment and shook the iron pipe in his hand, "This is the third one!"

Elena nodded, connected the two extension tubes to the anchor needles, and poked them into the depths of the swamp along the gaps created by Liu Xiaoye's water flow.

While shaking the anchor needle, Elena adjusted the water flow of the water pump from time to time, and then fiercely pulled the rope in the anchor needle tube to open the barb.

After trying to lift it up, seeing that the anchor needle was not moving at all, Elena and Liu Xiaoye switched hands and even changed directions to continue to explore the size of the thing hidden deep in the swamp. The three Shiquan brothers did not

Watching the excitement, each ran back to pull his own water pump to help. After working for nearly an hour, all 10 anchor pins were firmly hooked on the target.

"This place is at least 50 meters away from our camp. The car can't drive over at all. We can only use the winch." Big Ivan said regretfully. If the car can drive over, at least it can use the digging arm to clean the soil on the surface for the next step.

Drag and drop provides some help.

"I remember that the water hose of the high-pressure water gun on the car is 35 meters long. It can be stretched out to break away the surface first." He Tianlei said loudly.

"Yakov, go and spread the water guns over as far as you can." Elena said decisively, "Bring over another roll of canvas."

Without Elena's instructions at all, Shi Quan walked back on his skis and said, "Ivan, let's go get the steel cables and pulleys."

"50 meters, this is a big project."

Big Ivan is not optimistic about this, "It is difficult to pull out the buried things from such a long distance. At most, it can only move forward a little bit under the swamp, but the water content of the mud here is not too high.

It’s probably not easy to pull it off.”

"Leave it to Elena!"

Shi Quan pushed the sleigh slowly forward on the muddy ground nonchalantly, "Since she is sure, she must have her own way."

"Ono's luck is so good..." Big Ivan added jealously.
Chapter completed!
