Chapter 1,118 Finding a Needle in a Haystack (4)
"Huh? How come Deputy Commander Zhuang swam so far out?"
"Yes, running so far, there shouldn't be enough oxygen, right?"
"Xiao Liu, drive a speedboat to the sea surface above the seabed of Deputy Commander Zhuang and wait for orders..."
It doesn't matter that Zhuang Rui swam more than 200 meters in one breath. The people watching the surveillance above couldn't sit still. According to the order just now, Zhuang Rui can only move within a range of 80 to 100 meters at best. This is a bit far.
.
The sea is ruthless, and for deep-sea diving, there are usually salvage ships to assist you. Otherwise, if you wait too long, who knows what accidents may happen?
Seeing Zhuang Rui rashly swimming out of the range of the speedboat below, Director Wu quickly used the intercom to mobilize the speedboat and sailed to the sea where Zhuang Rui was diving.
Zhuang Rui, who was more than 40 meters under the sea, naturally didn't know what was going on above. He was currently looking at the situation on the seabed. As a few divers just said, the seabed did look a bit like a garbage dump.
The blackened fishing nets mixed with the silt covered the seabed in countless layers. Among the fishing nets, there were also a lot of domestic garbage. This kind of environment was completely different from the seabed scenery Zhuang Rui saw on the Pirate Island.
And words.
Shaking his head slightly, Zhuang Rui took the metal detector from the propeller. After turning on the switch, a wave of ripples invisible to the naked eye spread from the coil of the metal detector to about three meters toward the seabed.
Zhuang Rui knew that people on the salvage boat could see their actions through the monitors. He was not in a hurry to find the wreckage of the Awa Maru. Instead, he estimated where to avoid and pretended to search around.
"By the way, can you go and take a look at that thing that looks like a pearl?"
Although he clearly knew where the wreckage of the shipwreck was, he pretended not to know. Zhuang Rui's time at the bottom of the sea passed a little slowly. After seeing a big sea turtle swimming on the seabed, Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered that he had sensed the star.
Small objects.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui turned around and swam back to where he came from. At the same time, he released the spiritual energy in his eyes and locked the place again. Seven or eight minutes later, Zhuang Rui came to a flat seabed.
The broken fishing nets in this area were completely covered by the silt on the seabed, with some short seaweed growing on them. The fish were swimming in the seaweed. When they saw Zhuang Rui, they did not dodge, but moved in front of the light.
"Huh? Is this... a sea clam?"
Zhuang Rui discovered that the powerful aura was coming from below him, but as far as he could see, it was a hard piece of mud with cracked lines on it. It didn't look like a living thing.
"Grandma, this thing is really well hidden..."
Zhuang Rui stretched out his finger and pressed it on the object that looked like mud. The touch from his fingertips through the diving gloves made Zhuang Rui laugh.
That kind of hard feeling is definitely not something that can be brought about by the silt on the seabed. Zhuang Rui can already confirm that this is a sea clam, but it is good at camouflage, especially the color of its surface, which is almost exactly the same as the color of the silt on the seabed.
"Good boy, such a big guy? Could it be a sea oyster?"
Zhuang Rui took action and touched both sides of the shell of the sea clam with his hands. After finally cleaning out the mud on all sides, he discovered that the sea clam was more than one meter long and wide. After cleaning the shell, it turned out that it was clearly
Produces a metallic-like luster.
"Okay, let's take it up and talk about it. Let the restaurant add extra food tonight..."
Zhuang Rui looked at the diving watch on his wrist and saw that he was about to dive in more than thirty minutes. He quickly pulled out a rope from the package behind his back and looped it around the body of the sea clam several times to tie it up.
On the propeller.
"Hey, let me tell you, what is Deputy Commander Zhuang doing? Isn't he discovering the wreckage of a sunken ship?"
"It's possible. Look at the dark object. Maybe it was the hull of the ship that fell off..."
"You are an expert after all. You will find something when you hit the water..."
"It doesn't look like a shipwreck to me, but it looks a bit like a sea clam..."
Zhuang Rui's actions caused everyone on the ship to speculate, especially after Zhuang Rui tied up the sea clams. Most people thought that Zhuang Rui had discovered the wreckage of the ship, but one or two people who had lived at sea all year round raised objections.
.
When the two people said it, everyone felt that something was wrong. After carefully comparing the objects on the screen, they looked more and more like sea clams. When the camera took a close-up of the object, everyone could basically confirm it.
Yes, this is indeed a big clam.
"Hey, he is a young man after all..."
"Perhaps Mr. Zhuang thought it was the wreckage of a sunken ship..."
"Haha, if it were really sea clams, we would have sea clam soup tonight. Let me tell you, it tastes very delicious..."
This discovery left everyone on the boat speechless for a moment. Did Zhuang Rui go to the sea to salvage the wreckage of the sunken ship, or did he go on a sightseeing trip to the bottom of the sea to catch fish and shrimps?
Some people who were originally unconvinced by Zhuang Rui's youth now began to sarcastically say, "Although this salvage boat belongs to you, you can't do anything too outrageous, right?"
"Ahem... We will know when we fish it out. Finding the wreckage of the sunken ship through manual survey by divers is no less than finding a needle in a haystack. Please wait patiently..."
Seeing that everyone on the boat was talking more and more outrageously, Professor Meng coughed and supported his disciple.
However, Professor Meng was secretly complaining in his heart. This was a multi-unit salvage project, and it was a key project of national concern. Zhuang Rui did not search for the sunken ship, but actually caught sea clams. This could not help but make people gossip.
Zhuang Rui didn't know that the people on the boat were talking about him. Even if he knew about Zhuang Rui, he didn't care. He had already done his best. Not only did he donate the boat, he even took care of the food, drink, sleep, and sleep of these people. This is such a big deal.
Is it a big deal to be away from work?
When Zhuang Rui arrived at the first wreckage site containing spiritual energy, the diving watch on his wrist counted down. There were only fifteen minutes left. Just in case, in ten minutes, Zhuang Rui would start to climb.
Dive.
"Huh? What's going on? Is this thing broken?"
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhuang Rui picked up the metal detector, first searched around the gold, and then placed it directly where his aura was sensitive. However, he didn't know if it was because of the detector, but there was no movement.
.
When Zhuang Rui saw that the detector did not emit a warning sound, he suddenly became a little anxious. He couldn't throw away the detector and reach out to dig out the mud, right? That would be a bit unreasonable.
"Mr. Zhuang, it's time to dive..."
Instructions from above came from Zhuang Rui's earphones. Although he was the deputy commander-in-chief of the salvage, he still had to accept the instructions of the diving commander during the dive.
"Didi...didi,didi..."
Before Zhuang Rui surfaced, he reluctantly used the metal detector to shake the gold again, but this time there was a sudden reaction.
The red indicator light on the head of the metal detector flashed, and the sound of "didi" sounded simultaneously in Zhuang Rui and the ship's monitoring system.
"It was discovered that the metal detector reacted..."
"Yes, it's from Mr. Zhuang. This is the first time of this survey..."
"Remember the coordinates and the surrounding seabed conditions, and immediately organize the second batch of divers to enter the water..."
Hearing the alarm sound from the metal detector, everyone on the boat immediately became busy. Some divers hurriedly put on their diving suits, while researchers analyzed the conditions of this seabed based on the sensor images.
When Zhuang Rui surveyed with spiritual energy on the ship, he could not intuitively feel the depth of the mud. However, when he went to the seabed and combined with visual inspection, Zhuang Rui found that the gold was buried more than two meters deep. It seemed that he wanted to uncover it.
To get out, we must use the ship's boom and platform.
Of course, these things have to be done by professionals. Zhuang Rui repeatedly moved the detector above it for a while, and the continuous "didi" sound confirmed the existence of the lowered metal object, and his work was considered completed.
After turning off the power device of the propeller and turning on a switch, the water in the propeller was drained out, and Zhuang Rui began to slowly float up.
After a minute or two, Zhuang Rui's head emerged from the water. Two or three meters away from him was the speedboat that had been waiting here. After the two people on the speedboat pulled Zhuang Rui and the propeller onto the boat, they immediately started the speedboat and headed towards the boat.
The cruise ship sails away.
"Mr. Zhuang, have a bowl of ginger soup..."
"Mr. Zhuang, put on the towel quickly..."
"Xiaozhuang, that's good. There are five of you down there, and you're the only one who has found something. It's really good..."
Zhuang Rui had just taken the spiral staircase onto the cruise ship and was immediately surrounded by a group of people. Some people handed him towels and some brought ginger soup. They served Zhuang Rui meticulously.
You know, despite the bright sun shining in the sky, the temperature at the bottom of the sea, which is more than 40 meters away, is not very low. Even with Zhuang Rui's physique, after staying down there for more than an hour, his lips turned a little white after he came up.
"Alas, same people have different fates..."
The few divers who boarded the boat earlier than Zhuang Rui were not treated as well. Although they were provided with towels and ginger soup, they were not greeted by people like Zhuang Rui.
Of course, they were also envious of Zhuang Rui's good luck. With the same equipment, Zhuang Rui could find the wreckage of the shipwreck. They were not convinced.
After Zhuang Rui drank the ginger soup in one breath, Director Wu of the Maritime Safety Administration asked impatiently: "Xiao Zhuang, what's going on down there?"
Professor Meng was originally supposed to be the commander-in-chief of this salvage, but the old man pushed him aside. Later, Vice Minister Yu from the Ministry of Transportation became the commander-in-chief. However, that person was conducting remote control from Beijing, and the actual work was all done by
Director Wu did it.
Whether the salvage is successful or not is not only related to the performance of the Ministry of Communications, but also a good opportunity for Director Wu to make political capital. So now that something has been discovered, he is naturally the most nervous person.
