Chapter 214 Attracting worldwide attention, Lin Chen’s crazy plan

"How to implement it specifically?"

Mei Yongping recognized Lin Chen's plan, but he still had a lot of doubts about the specific implementation.

Many parts of the sunken ship are in the soil. Even if the boxes are made, how should they be packed in?

How should the follow-up work be handled?

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the archaeological team was stunned. Why did they ask?

In their opinion, Lin Chen’s plan is not reliable at all.

Looking around the world, no country has packed up a sunken ship in a big box and salvaged it as a whole. It is simply impossible to achieve.

Everyone in the live broadcast room was also stunned.

"Ah this...could it be that Lao Lin's plan is really effective?"

"It doesn't make sense! The boat is in the mud, how can we load it up? Do we need to load it with the head?"

"Hiss... my face hurts. Damn, this is okay. Am I dreaming?"

"I'm definitely dreaming, come on and give me a slap in the face."

"You can't do it yourself? It hurts me so much."

……

Everyone in the live broadcast room was sure that Lin Chen had finally overturned a second ago, but they never expected that the reversal would happen so quickly.

Mei Yongping's words were like a loud slap in the face, knocking them all stupid.

Lin Chen's ridiculous plan was actually approved by the director of the Cultural Relics Bureau. It's incredible.

Not only them, many people in the archaeological field are confused.

Over the years, no one has thought about overall salvage.

Salvage from the seabed is too difficult, and it is very common for cultural relics to be damaged in the process.

If it succeeds, the cultural relics can indeed be well protected, and subsequent restoration work will be simple.

The result...

To this day, there is no truly feasible solution.

"Give me a piece of paper."

Lin Chen ignored the looks of the other members of the archaeological team and asked Mei Yongping for a pen and paper.

Speaking is too abstract, so it is easier to explain clearly by drawing pictures.

Does he really have a detailed plan?

Everyone in the archaeological team was surprised. They thought Lin Chen was just talking casually. The salvage plan was very complicated and required considering many factors. It was not something you could just pat your head and think about it.

He never expected that Lin Chen would take the initiative to ask for a pen and paper. In other words, Lin Chen must have a corresponding plan in his mind, not just talk about it casually.

However, they still have doubts about Lin Chen's plan.

Having a plan and being able to implement the plan are completely different things.

It is not that no one in the archaeological community has thought about overall salvage. It has not been implemented for so many years. Naturally, it is not because there is no such thing as a plan.

Soon, under Mei Yongping's instructions, Lin Chen obtained paper and pen.

"First we need to make a large steel box, the rough shape is like this."

As Lin Chen spoke, he squatted on the ground and drew sketches in a notebook.

People from the archaeological team came over one after another and stepped forward to check what Lin Chen had drawn.

His painting ability is not good, and the things he draws are quite abstract.

The shape of the box is similar to that of an ordinary container at the top, but the lower part is not kept vertical, but is tilted inwards on all sides.

The strange shape immediately aroused everyone's doubts.

I don’t understand why Lin Chen’s box is tilted. Does it have any special function?

Everyone in the archaeological team looked at each other in confusion, but no one could see what Lin Chen's strange design was for.

However, it was not convenient for them to discuss it in front of Lin Chen, so they did not speak, silently waiting for Lin Chen to finish drawing.

The live broadcast room had no worries and started a lively discussion.

"Is this a box? This isn't a box at all! Whose box looks like this?"

"What a fuss, who stipulates that boxes can only be cubes? Isn't it enough that it can hold things?"

“There’s no bottom, how can I pack things?”

"I haven't finished painting yet, how do you know you don't have a bottom line?"

The weird shape of the box has aroused many people's doubts. The shape of Lin Chen's box is obviously completely different from the normal box, making people wonder what his intention is.

"Why do you think the following is designed like this?"

"I feel like a shovel. If nothing else happens, he should want to sink the box directly into the mud."

"Shovel? It's really possible. No wonder it's designed like this. It's amazing!"

"What do you mean? I don't understand. Can't the vertical one also sink into the mud? What's the difference?"

"The difference is huge. The vertical one can't penetrate much. The hull is buried very deep in the mud. This design can ensure that the box can cover the entire area where the sunken ship is."

……

There are many talents in various fields in the live broadcast room. After some discussion, someone actually guessed the intention of Lin Chen’s box design.

Everyone who learned the truth couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "There is something about Lin Chen."

Regardless of whether Lin Chen's plan can be worked out in the end, the design of the box alone is enough to prove that Lin Chen's proposal is not groundless.

For a time, many people began to look forward to what Lin Chen's final plan would be.

Can the record of zero be broken?

Yanjing Archaeological Group.

"Damn it, Lin Chen doesn't really have a feasible plan, does he?"

"It's not completely impossible. Doesn't he like to do something unexpected?"

“The design of the box is indeed interesting, but I still think it’s not very useful.”

"I think the feasibility is quite high. As long as the lower part is specially processed during production, as long as no big rocks are encountered, there will be absolutely no problem."

"The part of the ship in the mud is too deep. The weight of the iron box alone may not be able to sink to a sufficient depth. What happens after it is covered? How to seal the bottom?"

……

Compared with the live broadcast room, the archaeological group discusses more about practical operations.

It is undeniable that the design created by Lin Chen is indeed eye-catching. However, there is still a big question mark on the actual effect.

Salvage is not a feasible plan but a practical operation.

Many seemingly perfect plans are unable to be implemented in practice.

Not only them, but also archaeological chat groups in various regions are discussing similar issues.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Not to mention the value of the cultural relics on the ship.

Lin Chen's bold plan alone is enough to attract great attention from the archaeological circle.

There are no successful cases of salvaging the entire ship.

If Lin Chen really succeeds, it will definitely be recorded in the textbooks of the global archaeological community for reference.

At this moment, there are even many foreign archaeologists who are paying attention to Lin Chen’s live broadcast process.

Of course, the degree of discussion abroad is far less than that in China. Basically, individuals or small groups are paying attention.

And the focus of attention is still on the shipwreck itself.

Although Lin Chen is well-known abroad, his status is far from as high as it is in China.

In the eyes of most people, he is still just a lucky excavator driver. Although he has some skills, he is not very powerful.

Lin Chen didn't know about all this.

Even if I know, I won’t take it to heart.

Whether something like this is possible or not is never determined by status, nor does it have anything to do with what other people think.

The drawing of the box is not very complicated and can be completed in a minute or two.

"This is what it looks like."

Lin Chen raised his head and looked at Mei Yongping who was squatting opposite, tapped the graphics on the paper with a pen, and said.

After Mei Yongping looked at it for a while, he asked: "Your design below is to drive the box into the mud?"

With experience, he already understood the purpose of Lin Chen's design.

I asked out loud just to confirm what I was thinking.
