I quickly returned to the room, and as soon as I pushed the door open, a hand stretched out from behind the wall grabbed my wrist tightly. I almost knocked the owner of this hand to the ground like I beat Wang Yongshun, but I found this guy It turned out to be Dong Hao. This tall, rich and handsome man's eyes shone and he asked me: "This... this is the real small red sandalwood..."
Only then did I realize that he was talking about the string of Buddhist beads given to me by Master Xujian that I was wearing on my hand. I shook my hands slightly, broke away from his clutches, and said, "What are you doing?"
Gao Fushuai looked at me again, and it seemed that my pretentiousness had soared in his eyes. Indeed, in this era when the market is flooded with fakes such as large rosewood, which are actually black rosewood, the real ones have already Too little. I heard that the African brothers in Madagascar sold the local large rosewood to the Chinese, and actually deceived a lot of so-called domestic experts, who all said that this was the small rosewood. Because the trade volume was too large, it alarmed The logging of red sandalwood was banned by the United Nations (red sandalwood is an internationally protected tree species that is prohibited from logging), which made the African people very depressed. They hurriedly invited international experts to prove that this thing was not authentic red sandalwood at all, which directly ignored many domestic experts. Remember the loud slap.
It's a pity that although this thing is genuine, it was not earned by my father, but by my own hard work and wisdom. Gao Fushuai sniffed and said how much he was willing to sell? I thought to myself that there was something in this A piece of affection, a piece of respect, nothing to sell. So he shook his head pretentiously, and his heart was full of pride. He turned to Yang Tao and said: "Captain Wang has discovered the city wall of Kangcheng. We have to slow down and confirm the situation."
After hearing this, Yang Tao and Dong Hao ran to the cabin in three steps at a time and chatted with Wang Anjin. I watched the typhoon gradually receding at the stern of the ship without saying a word.
Dong Hao turned to Liu Yuwei and Xu Biying and said: "Go and get ready and put down the sonar."
I thought to myself, this yacht is not a submarine, so why is it equipped with such an advanced gadget as sonar?
Liu Yuwei brought a box, took out a few wires, connected them to Xu Biying's laptop, then took out a cylindrical thing with a small speaker attached to it, dragged it outside, and dropped it off the boat. The cylindrical thing should be It was a float, always floating on the water. Soon, the data was uploaded, and Xu Biying's computer displayed a red, yellow and blue seabed topographic map. But the image was very unstable. It seemed that although the typhoon no longer posed a threat , but the waves were still not small, and the sonar could not be stabilized, so it was impossible to accurately detect the topography of the seabed. Yang Tao asked Wang Anjin to stop the boat, but Wang Anjin refused to let him go and insisted on driving forward. Yang Tao stamped his feet anxiously.
Even so, the data from sonar has shown that this sea area is very shallow, and there are some vertical seafloor protrusions. They do not look like naturally formed seafloor topography, but have strong traces of artificial axe. Most of them are The ancient Kangcheng city was lost below the sea level.
Under Yang Tao's repeated requests, Wang Anjin came up with a compromise plan: drive to the right at full speed, and at the same time follow the depth response below to detect how big this strange sea area is. We gathered around Xu Biying's computer and listened. This female master who looked like a waiter but was actually a top student in acoustics patiently explained to us. It seemed that the thing Wang Anjin saw just now was not a city wall, but a city gate. It was only 3 or 4 meters away from the sea. meters deep. As we headed west, there were all kinds of strange reactions below, which looked like ancient building complexes one after another.
This discovery made us all very excited. It seemed that Gukang City did exist. We found its east gate and are now heading towards the west gate.
What surprised us was that Cannes was so huge. The speed of the yacht was about 32 knots, which is nearly 60 kilometers per hour, but after we drove for 15 minutes, the sonar reflected that there was another towering line under the sea.
The building is probably where the West City Wall is located. According to this calculation, the east-west width of Kham is 15 kilometers. You must know that Nanjing City in the Ming Dynasty was only about 10 kilometers long from north to south, and only 5 kilometers wide from east to west!
How rich and broad is this Cannes city? How could it disappear from the map of China overnight?
Recalling the huge waves caused by the typhoon just now, I can only believe that the disappearance of Cannes was caused by the force of nature and was erased by the hand of God.
Because we were traveling in the opposite direction to the typhoon, the weather was gradually getting better at this time. Although the dark clouds were still dense, the wind and rain had become much lighter. Most of the men on the boat had adapted to the bumps of the waves and no longer vomited.
So powerful. So Yang Tao decided to go into the water and see for himself whether these things underwater were really Kangcheng.
After traveling here, we are already far away from the shore. The water is no longer the turbid and dark yellow we saw on the shore before, but has become blue and clear. It’s just that it just rained and winded, causing sediments on the seabed to float up, making it slightly muddy.
It was estimated that the visibility under the sea was not very high, so everyone who went into the sea brought high-power underwater flashlights. Yang Tao also brought a large bundle of rope, coiled up and hung around his waist.
Yang Tao, Dong Hao and I put on brand new diving equipment. The biggest difference between this equipment and the one I used for practice is that the mask covers the entire face, which is the so-called "full face mask"——
——Wrap and seal the face except the cheeks. At the same time, there is a closed cover inside the mask, below the nasal cavity, to prevent the water vapor during breathing from atomizing the mask and causing unclear vision. This kind of
After putting on the mask, it looks like an alien or a galactic warrior in a science fiction movie. It looks very cool.
This set of diving equipment of mine was originally prepared for Li Yubo. Fortunately, he is a nerd like me, both have myopia, and the degree is similar. This mask for him has a degree, and I wear it.
It fits just right.
Put the fixed strap of the mask on your head, determine the position of your chin, then buckle the mask to your head, shake it a few times, adjust it to a comfortable and sealing position, and finally tighten the strap. After wearing it neatly,
I connected the trachea of the main second stage to the second stage of the mask and made an OK gesture to the other two people.
Yang Tao pressed the communication button and spoke a few words, which sounded quite clear, but he didn’t know what it would be like underwater. He specifically told me that the effective underwater distance of communication equipment is generally about 50 meters, and no more than 50 meters at most.
70 meters, so don’t leave too far away. If the sea water becomes turbid and affects visibility, you can shake the flashlight to display your position.
I nodded to express my understanding. Dong Hao added, don’t go too fast when ascending, for fear of getting decompression sickness.
The so-called decompression sickness means that when diving into deep water, the pressure increases and a large amount of nitrogen in the blood dissolves in the blood. If you float up too fast and the pressure suddenly decreases, the nitrogen will turn into bubbles and leak out of the blood.
It can range from numbness in the limbs to headache and dizziness, and can range from life-threatening to severe.
After the explanation, the three of us made an OK gesture to the people on the boat. Li Qianyu, who was monitoring our calls with headphones, also made the same gesture. Yang Tao took the lead and flipped over on his back into the water, followed closely by Dong Hao and I. As soon as we entered the water
, I only felt the biting coldness. Without the protection of the diving suit, I was afraid that my body temperature would drop to the limit soon and I would fall into coma. Yang Tao did not speak, he only raised his thumb and shook his fingertips downward twice, indicating to dive.
We slowly let the air out of our BC vests and sank into the sea.
At this time, the sky was dark and the visibility in the sea was not high. Yang Tao's voice came from the earphones: "The depth here is about 25 meters. We will dive in five times. Lin You pays attention to balancing the ear pressure. Follow me!"
Having said that, I, a novice diver, actually dived three times before my fins were already on the ground. Although I tried hard to equalize the pressure in my ears, the huge water pressure still pressed against my eardrums, making it almost impossible to hear any sound. It was heartbreaking.
Pain came from my ears. I stood still and tried to control my breathing. After a while, I dared to turn on the flashlight and look around. However, I found that I had not controlled the direction well and separated from the two of them.
I thought to myself that it wouldn’t be too far anyway, and I would just use the communication device to contact me later. So I raised my flashlight and shined it on the seabed at my feet to see if it really looked like an ancient city.
