I have to say that the students who followed Gu Kun out to sea and enjoyed the baptism of the "Internship Winter Camp" were quite energetic.
Although, life on the ship, you can see the sea every day, eat the freshest and most delicious seafood, and learn new things, it looks very beautiful.
However, the schedule of the trip also made every student feel great pressure - Gu Kun did not dock during the Spring Festival, so these "temporary seafarers" were equivalent to spending the New Year on the ship.
This is a huge sacrifice for the Chinese people.
Although for ocean sailors, this is a common way of life.
Gu Kun and his party spent New Year's Eve on the ship. In order not to waste the ship's operation time, they also surveyed a small area of the sea during the day on New Year's Eve.
On New Year's Eve, Gu Kun ordered a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner to be prepared for everyone.
In addition to seafood and vegetables, on New Year's Eve and the first two days of the new year, Gu Kun specially ordered to take out all kinds of meat and vegetables from the cold storage on the ship, and everyone worked together to cook them carefully, making a table of dozens of them.
A sumptuous dinner of dishes. (There are dozens of people on board, and on average, there is only a little more than one dish per person)
In addition, Gu Kun generously allowed everyone to use the satellite phone on the ship to make five-minute calls to their families.
If there are several relatives and friends who want to pay New Year's greetings, and one phone call cannot last five minutes, they can be used separately.
Everyone knew that satellite phones were expensive, costing hundreds of dollars for such a small amount of time, so they all felt that Gu Kun was generous. On New Year's Eve and New Year, everyone's morale was still high.
Everyone was busy until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Early that morning, Gu Kun gathered everyone together and ordered one thing:
"Everyone must go back to school on time. I know that some of you have been rushing to make arrangements in the past few days and have even asked me privately. Let me make a unified announcement here:
I have actually arranged for Sister Chen to send another fishing boat to the East China Sea to take most of you back first. The boat sent by Sister Chen is the same boat that sent you to the big ship ten days ago, so you can rest assured
, you can definitely go back and start school on time."
"Brother Gu, won't you let the Nightingale go directly to the port of Hujiang? Don't you want to start school yourself?" Huang Han, the dormitory director, asked out of concern.
Gu Kun: "I'm going back a few days later than you. I may have to take a week or two off just after school starts - I want to finish measuring this section of the waterway. In addition, there are several doubtful points in the previous data. If I have time, I will
Just to confirm, everyone’s studies are important, so you can leave first.”
Among the "doubtful points" he mentioned, one of them was actually the coordinates of the sunken ship he wanted to salvage. The others were just pretentious.
It was hard for him to explain, so he just confirmed a doubt and then discovered the sunken ship. Doesn't that mean he told others that he was a loser?
It is very important to persevere. How many people fail, not because of lack of ability, but because they have a little bit of success and become dissatisfied.
If he could always follow his heart and face all risks with the prudence and courage of the Shilipo Sword God, how could he be so easily plotted by others.
However, Huang Han didn't know what Gu Kun was really thinking, so he said with great appeal: "Then with the few manpower you have left... can you handle it? Will it take longer? Brother Gu, our brothers
You're welcome, if you can use it, what does it mean if we delay going back to school to register? We all take a week off to help you get it done as soon as possible!"
He has expressed his attitude in such a righteous manner. If others say that they don’t want to continue and feel bored, wouldn’t that mean that they are not being righteous?
Suddenly, those students who were more vacillating with the petty bourgeoisie found it difficult to speak.
Gu Kun quickly stopped: "No, no, there's not much work. The key is that my 'Nightingale' will definitely not go to the port of Hujiang. After the work is done, it will go directly back to Lanfang."
You have to keep your key. Isn't that a good intention but a bad thing?
When everyone sees that I caught the treasure boat, should I reward you with red envelopes or not? Even if I reward you, everyone will feel that they have participated, which will definitely leave a knot in their hearts.
So it still cannot test human nature.
After some tactful persuasion, Gu Kun finally persuaded all the students to board the fishing boat sent by Chen Li to pick them up again at noon that day and waved goodbye to Gu Kun.
Chen Li will drive the boat back to Pudong Pier to dock, and then sell the new round of fish to the seafood market in Hujiang.
Gao Jianxiong and Long Wu both stayed on the "Nightingale", and Du Guowei was also on the ship this time (when it sailed from Lanfang, it was Du Guowei who took the ship. He escorted the ship back from Europe from Heklan
of).
These people, together with the confidant sailors who have been tested before, will participate in the salvage of this sunken ship.
Gu Kun was very steady. After his classmates left, he had already followed the normal pace and conducted survey operations for two days. Moreover, before surveying the "doubtful point" of the real sunken ship, he also made three useless surveys that were ultimately proven to be unfounded.
Abnormal "false doubts".
"The boss must be neurotic, right? He has fished two sunken ships before, and he has become sensitive. He is suspicious of any long hollow coral reef and thinks it is a suspected sunken ship."
After several consecutive diving survey operations, some complaints inevitably spread among the service personnel responsible for providing preparations and the divers who went into the water themselves.
However, most of the crew members were absolutely loyal. Long Wu and Gao Jianxiong both heard these complaints from the crew members in private, and also tactfully reminded Gu Kun on appropriate occasions.
Gu Kun smiled indifferently every time, with an expression that showed he had pearls of wisdom in his hands.
However, he also secretly made a list in his mind. Anyone who complained or questioned him would be transferred from the "Nightingale" to operate a fishing boat or cargo ship.
What the "Nightingale" needs is die-hard fans who obey Gu Kun completely from the spine up.
Finally, on the afternoon of February 9, the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the divers aboard the "Nightingale" successfully discovered what they were looking for during a survey led by Long Wu.
The first time, because there was no preparation, it was impossible to salvage the entire ship directly, so Long Wu and the other two divers just used the buoyancy provided by the inflatable device of the diving suit they carried to get one or two small boxes from the sunken ship.
The purpose is to confirm the type of the sunken ship and what kind of cargo it mainly contains.
As a result, when trying to float, Long Wu found that carrying two boxes was too much, and the buoyancy reserve of the buoy on the diving suit was not enough.
They could only temporarily leave a box that had been moved out on the seabed, use the buoys on the three divers to reserve buoyancy, and bring one of the small boxes to the surface.
"Boss! Sure enough, there is another shipwreck! You are amazing!"
After returning to the ship, Long Wu drank strong liquor to ward off the cold and couldn't help but express his feelings, "This time it's almost 300 meters deep. It's the seabed at the edge of the continental shelf. You can detect such a hidden shipwreck through the sonar."
I feel something strange, it’s amazing.”
Gu Kun handed the other party a bottle of vodka and patted his shoulder encouragingly: "You have a good rest first and regain your strength. Let's see what kind of ship this is. Come and unpack it."
"It looks like it's probably a Galen ship, but it's so big. It's probably twice as heavy as the one we caught last time." Long Wu showed off his judgment based on preliminary observations underwater.
While he was talking, Gao Jianxiong had already taken a crowbar and opened the box under Gu Kun's instructions.
"Crash-" The wooden boards of the box had long since rotted, so when it was pried open, one of the wooden boards on one side was completely broken, and coins covered with coral polyp scars and seaweed, black and covered with scars, flowed out.
Gao Jianxiong immediately reached out to the high-pressure water gun he held in his other hand and sprayed the coins cleanly.
Gu Kun grabbed a handful of clean ones and spread them on a pony in front of him.
"There are two pesos, there are five pesos...it looks like they are all Mexican eagles." Gu Kun pretended to be professional and slowly identified them for a while.
"In the waters east-northeast of the Philippines, a Galen ship was more than twice the size of the Galen ship that was fished before, and what was fished out was a whole box of Mexican Eagle Oceans with silver pesos... Based on these factors, based on my knowledge of maritime history,
, I’m afraid this ship is…”
"What is it?" Gao Jianxiong and Long Wu couldn't help but ask.
"I'm afraid it's a Spanish silver ship that sailed from the port of Acapulco, Mexico, to Manila in ancient times."
