At that time, the ship carried a total of 7 million ounces and about 198 tons of silver, which was estimated to be worth more than 155 million pounds and about 1.555 billion yuan.
According to the contract specifications of the British Department of Transport, 80% of the value of the cargo in the sunken ship will belong to the salvage company, and the other 20% will belong to the British government.
It can be said that after salvaging such a sunken ship, the salvage company made a fortune.
After joking for a while, Han Kongque said: "How is it? What's the gain?"
Han Xing frowned and said: "Nothing was gained at all. This area is far away from the waterway. Not to mention shipwrecks, we didn't even see any domestic garbage."
Han Peacock looked at the monitor. There are more than 20 monitors here. Each monitor controls these ten underwater detectors. This means that each simulated fish is equivalent to a pair of eyes. Wherever they go, the situation under the seabed will be revealed.
All were filmed.
The processing of these pictures is simple. There is a small server in Song Min's temporary laboratory, which is dedicated to processing all the pictures sent back by the simulated fish. As long as there is the slightest abnormality in the picture, the computer will automatically sound an alarm.
If there is a sunken ship under the sea and comes under the camera of the simulated fish, the sunken ship cannot be hidden at all.
A large cruise ship with a displacement of thousands of tons cannot be completely buried in the past seventy or eighty years.
Even if the ship disintegrates, there will still be traces to follow. The comparison software in these computers can automatically complete the analysis and comparison.
"We have just started, don't be anxious, follow our plan and search all possible areas. Even if we don't find anything, it doesn't matter. Didn't we catch a lot of fish? Anyway, we will not lose money when we go to sea." Han Peacock said.
I really want to be open.
Han Xing said: "It's true. With the help of Sister Song's detectors, we can accurately catch a large number of fish in such complicated sea areas. If we can't find the sunken ship, we will have to get dozens of tons of seafood."
go back."
"Well, I encountered a lot of pomfret schools underwater. That kind of fish is very expensive. It costs 90 yuan per kilogram. If we get 100 tons back, it will be 9 million yuan. In this way, even if we can't salvage the sunken ship, it will still be considered a loss.
I made a profit." Han Kongque calculated shrewdly and could not let himself lose.
"Ah? Did you throw away all other kinds of fish?" Han Xing looked at Han Peacock, who looked like he was daydreaming. Can he only choose expensive fish in this fishing?
Song Min looked thoughtful: "As long as you track the fish, it doesn't matter if you catch some rare fish. You see, there are a lot of swimming crabs and lobsters here. This is what is really valuable."
As she spoke, Song Min brought up a picture of a simulated fish, on which many lobsters were feeding in groups in a sea area. Such a scene is definitely rare.
Han Xing was about to discuss the possibility of fishing with them when he heard a series of piercing screams coming from the computer.
"What's wrong?" Han Peacock asked in surprise.
"It's an early warning signal." Song Min was also surprised.
Song Min quickly operated the computer and soon produced a picture with two ships appearing on the monitor.
"How far is it from us?" Han Peacock asked immediately.
Song Min said: "It's very far, a hundred nautical miles and more than two hundred kilometers."
"So far away? Why did the detector you sent out sound an alarm?" Han Peacock asked.
Song Min said: "The two ships deviated from the route at the same time. They should be following us. Generally, ships sail normally and will never enter our warning range."
Han Kongque said: "It seems that the company's salvage ship has been targeted."
Han Kongque had anticipated this situation. Chen Jiayi and the others found a treasure, and the whole world was shouting about it. They were afraid that others would not know about it. Although they confirmed the clues to the remaining treasures of the Awa Maru, they were also targeted by some organizations.
"Huh? This is a Chinese maritime surveillance ship." Han Xing said.
After the two ships appeared, detectors were immediately tracked in the nearby waters. Therefore, the images of the two ships were clearly displayed in front of Han Kongque and the others.
Song Min also said at this time: "The other one is a Japanese maritime surveillance ship. It seems that our operation is very attractive!"
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Your detector is really useful. We can detect these two ships from such a distance."
Song Min said: "This is not difficult. In fact, it is a sonar detector. As long as it enters that sea area, nothing can hide from us. There is no way to avoid this kind of thing."
Since Han Xing was here, neither Song Min nor Han Peacock mentioned the simulated fish, and both used detectors instead of simulated fish.
After all, the simulated fish will play a huge role in the future, so it is better to keep it as secret as possible. Although Han Xing is the only one here, Han Xing has only joined Han Peacock's company for a short time, and now Han Peacock cannot trust him without reservation.
The simulated fish that Song Min used for early warning was a simulated dolphin. Sonar detection itself was invented from dolphins, and Song Min took advantage of this to create a simulated dolphin to monitor specific sea areas.
The people being monitored would never have imagined that a dolphin next to them could actually be a spy.
"What should we do?" Han Xing asked, looking at the two maritime surveillance ships.
Han Kongque said: "Don't worry about them. This is the high seas after all. Nothing we do is illegal. Besides, we may not be able to gain anything yet. We will wait until we find the target."
The sea area where Han Peacock is currently located is more than 400 kilometers away from the Magic City and Kagoshima, Japan, and more than 500 kilometers away from Naha Port. This is completely beyond the exclusive economic zones of the two countries, so in principle, as long as they do not
If they break the law, no one can control them.
After discussing the future matters, Song Min and Han Xing felt relieved. The three of them stared at the two maritime surveillance ships for a while and found that they had not deviated far from the channel.
Presumably, they did not dare to risk sailing. After all, there were reefs here. If they were not careful, the two maritime surveillance ships might run aground on the rocks.
Although they definitely have accurate charts in their hands, having charts does not mean that they can accurately avoid reefs. Especially after entering the reef area, it does not make much difference whether they have charts or not.
On the vast sea, everything is the same. Unless there is accurate satellite navigation that can accurately locate every reef, then it is possible to sail safely.
But this is only possible, not necessarily safe. After all, this is the ocean, and the water is flowing. And there are undercurrents pushing you underwater. Even if you plan to avoid the reef, you may be pushed by the undercurrent and hit the reef.
It is because this sea area is dangerous that all ships avoid it, otherwise the fishery resources in this sea area would not be so well preserved.
The days that followed became boring. Song Min and Han Xing were no longer as excited as when they first went to sea. Now their job was just to explore. Explore all the areas they passed and draw detailed sea maps.
In the past few days, the three targets booked by Han Kongque and the others were roughly searched. Although nothing was found, Han Kongque had no intention of returning.
Han Kongque was either in the cabin watching the videos analyzed and collected by Song Min and others every day, or eating and drinking with Chen Jiayi and others outside.
It's okay to live like this for a day or two. If it lasts for a week, it will make people feel bored.
After a week of searching, Song Min's simulated fish filmed the underwater environment of the sea area with a radius of more than ten nautical miles, but nothing was found.
The environment here is complex, but it is just some underwater mountains. The three targets Han Peacock finally selected are almost all in this kind of environment.
There are no deep trenches in this kind of place, and the water is not too deep either. The pictures taken by the simulated fish underwater are very clear, and there are almost no dead spots.
After such a large-scale search, nothing was found. This only shows that Han Kongque and his colleagues' inference was wrong.
They changed three places in succession that were most likely to sink the Daiichi Maru cruise ship, but all failed, which made Han Xing and the others begin to feel frustrated. On the contrary, Han Kongque was already a little happy and reluctant to think about Shu.
It has been seven days at sea, and the salvage ship has not salvaged anything, but the icehouse in the salvage ship has been filled with rare fish.
Professional salvage ships have many advantages. First, the salvage ship has a shallow draft, accurate positioning, and as much side height as possible. It has a wider deck on which booms, winches, and large lifting equipment can be arranged.
Second, it has high speed and good seakeeping, so it can quickly sail to the salvage waters and start salvage operations as soon as possible.
The third is to have a large enough cargo hold capacity. It is used to store salvage equipment. Some salvage ships are also equipped with stealth, speed-increasing equipment and salvage modification equipment.
Now the other functions are not used, but the cargo warehouse of the salvage ship is used. This modified warehouse can act as an icehouse as long as it is powered on, and it can be an ordinary warehouse if it is not powered on.
Now there are more than two hundred tons of fish stored in this warehouse. With the guidance of the detector released by Song Min, the small trawler can sometimes salvage more than 100,000 kilograms of fish in an hour.
With such a harvest, even if the sunken ship cannot be found, Han Peacock will not lose money on his voyage this time, but will make a profit instead.
With no worries, Han Kongque was completely relaxed. Apart from handling some rare fish with Chen Jiayi and the others every day, he spent the rest of his time soaking in the sea water.
In this ocean, the only entertainment is diving and fishing.
Among these people, Han Kongque is the one with the best results. He can control the water source and is more comfortable in the water than in the air.
At least on land, he cannot fly, but in the water, he can swim freely. Water is his friend and his tool. He can easily control the water source and let the endless sea water be his best helper.
.
At this time, Han Peacock was soaking in the water, and a large amount of sea water was absorbed by the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. Han Peacock was pushed away by the sea water and quickly crossed the seabed.
He only wore a diving suit and nothing else. After these days of getting along, everyone on the boat knew Han Kongque's superb water skills, so no one was worried if he didn't go back for a long time.
Now underwater, Han Peacock will no longer take action at will. Unless he encounters some rare fish that he is particularly interested in, he will take action and take them back.
Just as the Korean peacock was admiring the beautiful scenery on the seabed around it and flying forward leisurely, the Korean peacock found two schools of fish directly in front of it that seemed to be fighting.
