The news that Zhuang Rui took out pearls worth hundreds of millions of yuan from a big clam spread throughout the cruise ship in a short period of time. No matter where Zhuang Rui went, everyone looked at him with a smile on his face.
envious.
Fortunately, the security guards on this ship are all Li Zhen's people, and the previous crew members have also been replaced by sailors. If those Portuguese ruffian crew members were still there, they might have some bad idea to kidnap Zhuang Rui.
"Boss, you are really lucky. I think we will be able to salvage countless treasures when we go to the Pacific Ocean..."
Captain Clyde didn't know where he got the news, and he ran out of the captain's cabin, congratulated Zhuang Rui, and began to encourage Zhuang Rui to go to the Pacific to salvage treasures.
Zhuang Rui once promised him that Clyde could get 1% of the treasures salvaged from the sea.
Don’t underestimate this one percent. You must know that the value of many sunken treasures is calculated in billions of dollars. This one percent is worth tens of millions of dollars. That’s why the bearded captain will continue to
Reminding Zhuang Rui.
After Zhuang Rui heard Clyde's words, he suddenly remembered the bearded and sultry captain hiding in the control room watching adult action movies. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Clyde, you will have the opportunity to travel across the sea in the future. Let me tell you."
Why do you need so much money? Could it be that you want to find a captain’s wife?”
"Oh, Zhuang, you are insulting me, I want to duel with you!"
Clyde put on an angry look, but immediately changed his smile and said: "But boss, if you are willing to let me realize my ideal as soon as possible, I can forgive you..."
"Let's go, winter is about to begin, and we have to wait until next year if we want to salvage..."
Zhuang Rui shook his head. Has the Chinese quintessence of changing faces been learned by foreigners? This face changes faster than flipping through a book.
"Okay, I won't bullshit you anymore, let's get to work..."
Zhuang Rui saw from the window of the captain's cabin that the floating cantilever on the deck had been raised high, and he quickly left the captain's cabin and rushed to the deck.
"Bullshit? What do you mean? Why is this nonsense?"
Although the bearded captain was a China expert, he still didn't understand Zhuang Rui's words. After Zhuang Rui went out, he carefully took a handful in his crotch. The old guy let out an "ouch" in pain, and then tightened it tightly.
Protected tightly.
…
"Mr. Zhuang, the preparations have been completed. I have just finished speaking to the comrades. Do you have anything else to add?" After Zhuang Rui came to the deck, Director Wu had just finished his speech.
"Well, I don't have much to say. If I can get off to a good start today, I'll add dinner tonight!"
Zhuang Rui shouted with a smile, which made everyone on the boat cheer. Now everyone on the boat knew that Zhuang Rui took out pearls worth tens of millions of dollars from a big clam, and everyone was envious.
Although I can't get pearls, I can eat clam meat, and I can brag to others in the future, which can be regarded as a bit of immortality.
Seeing how happy everyone was, Zhuang Rui smiled and turned to Director Wu and said, "Director Wu, you can start..."
People in this system are most particular about order. When attending activities, they are very particular about who walks in front and who walks behind. The order to start salvage naturally has to be issued by Director Wu. Zhuang Rui doesn't
Will steal the limelight.
"Okay, all units pay attention and start implementing the No. 1 salvage plan..."
Looking at the camera in front of him, Director Wu had a serious expression on his face, waved his hand vigorously, and gave orders into the microphone.
The reporter from the CCTV special report team over there took a few close-up shots and then began to interview Director Wu. When Zhuang Rui saw this posture, he quickly pulled Professor Meng to the drilling platform.
Although the sea area where the sunken ship was salvaged is not very deep, due to the low tide over time, the silt washed away from the coast will fill in the cleared area.
Therefore, after investigation and discussion, the technicians decided to use a drilling platform and a floating cantilever together to clean up the mud around the wreckage as quickly as possible.
A digging bucket is temporarily installed on the top of the dozens of meters long floating crane cantilever, which itself is a supporting facility. Above the digging bucket, an underwater camera is also placed, which can ensure to the greatest extent that the wreckage of the shipwreck will not suffer further damage.
of destruction.
After Director Wu gave the order, the huge floating cantilever stretched out like a Transformer, and then the bucket took the lead like water. Under the operation of skilled technicians, it extended like a sunken shipwreck.
At this time, Zhuang Rui and Professor Meng were both standing in the floating crane operation room, staring closely at the display screen specially placed here, watching the bucket constantly approaching the wreckage of the shipwreck.
"Tap it gently, tap it gently, slow it down..."
From the trembling camera footage of the bucket, it could be seen that the bucket had touched the seabed mud. Professor Meng couldn't help but become nervous. If there were a Peking Man skull fossil underneath, he would not be able to withstand the shoveling force of the bucket.
You know, fossils are also stones and will break into pieces just like iron objects. Although he is not sure what the object below is, Professor Meng is still very nervous.
"Commander Meng, don't worry, I'll give him a big reveal, and I'm sure I won't hurt anything underneath..."
The technician who drove the floating crane was quite talkative, and he actually knew a few archaeological terms. Professor Meng laughed and his nervousness eased a bit.
This guy is really not a genius, his skills are really great. Under his operation, the bucket seems to be alive, sliding against the surface of the mud tightly, and the movements are so gentle that the sea water is not even muddy.
It's still as clear as before.
When the bucket slid over the survey object, the teeth in front seemed to drive the broken fishing net, and a large piece of mud was lifted up, and the picture suddenly became blurry.
"Pull away, pull away a little further, wait until the water is clear before continuing..."
Others couldn't see what was going on at the bottom of the sea, but Zhuang Rui could feel it. He found that the digging bucket actually tore away the mud and fishing nets on the wreckage.
It is very likely that the wreckage below held the fishermen's fishing nets, and a lot of silt accumulated over time. An inadvertent movement of the bucket lifted the entire net, revealing the wreckage below.
came out.
The technician operating the floating crane extended the floating crane. After about seven or eight minutes, the sea water gradually became clear. Through the camera, you can see that in the front of the bucket, there is a mountain of silt and seabed sediment hanging on it.
things.
"Clean this thing up and let the divers go into the sea..."
After seeing this situation, Zhuang Rui gave the order to the intercom. As for Director Wu, he probably hasn't finished the interview yet.
"Xiao Zhuang, do you want to wait and see the situation?"
Professor Meng felt that Zhuang Rui was a little impatient. This excavation only brought up some fishing nets. Who knows how deep the mud below is?
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said: "Teacher, the floating crane cannot clean up these debris anyway, and it cannot carry out secondary operations. Let the divers go down and take a look first..."
"Well, it makes sense. This practice can increase people's experience. Zhuang Rui, you have only experienced ocean salvage once, and your knowledge in this area has already exceeded that of the teacher..."
When Zhuang Rui rejected his suggestion, Professor Meng was not angry, but very pleased. With his expertise, Zhuang Rui could carve out a world in marine archaeology. As a teacher, he was only happy.
The screen switched to the diver's diving camera. About seven or eight minutes later, the four divers had arrived at the seabed that had just been cleaned.
At this time, the sea water has become clear. Through the sensor screen of the camera, on the display screen of the floating crane operation room, a tilted ship board is clearly visible.
"It's the Awa Maru. It must be the wreckage of the Awa Maru..."
After seeing the rusty ship plank, Professor Meng cried out. He had looked up the shipwreck accidents in Fujian waters from the early days of liberation to the past few years, and only one iron ship like the Awa Maru had sunk.
"Immediately survey the volume of the wreckage. All units will pay attention and formulate a salvage plan based on the data sent back by the divers..."
Director Wu was away, so Zhuang Rui became the first deputy commander. He had indeed accumulated some experience in salvaging the Song Dynasty shipwreck, and now his command is in good order.
"Mr. Zhuang, Professor Meng, have you found anything?"
Director Wu who was being interviewed below heard the news of the discovery of the wreckage and immediately hurried to the floating crane control room, followed by a photographer. Fortunately, the control room was big enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people.
"The wreckage of the sunken ship has been discovered, and the volume and weight of the wreckage are being investigated. Once the specific parameters are available, we can prepare to salvage..."
There was also a hint of excitement on Professor Meng's face. Maybe the mystery that happened more than half a century ago will be revealed today.
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly at the side. The discovery of the seabed was indeed a big gain for Director Wu, but it had nothing to do with Professor Meng and him.
After more than an hour of intense investigation, the technicians came to the conclusion that the volume of the sunken shipwreck on the seabed should be about fifteen meters. It is estimated that it cannot be pulled out of the sea with a floating crane. It can only be lifted with the power of the drilling platform.
Come up.
With most of the wreckage already exposed, a plan was quickly drawn up, and four other divers descended to the bottom with ropes.
Eight divers worked alternately, and under the command of relevant technical personnel on the ship, after more than two hours of busy work, the work of binding and strengthening the wreckage of the sunken ship was finally completed.
The huge drilling platform was moved off the deck and lay across the sea. At this time, everyone on the platform and on the ship was busy. Several technicians were directing the operation of the machinery with whistles in their mouths.
