fisherman legend

Chapter 471 Unintentional Discovery

As many people know, the ocean area of ​​the earth is actually at least twice as large as the land area.People who live in inland areas all the year round, occasionally have the opportunity to come to the seaside, and it is difficult to feel how vast the ocean is.

Only people like Zhuang Haiyang who often run on the sea know how big the ocean is.But for most people, they are more accustomed to living on land than living at sea. After all, it is still difficult for people to survive in the sea.

Perhaps it is because of this habit that people who have been on board for a long time miss the feeling of stepping on land.Knowing this, Zhuang Haiyang, who had already entered the sea area under his country's jurisdiction, let Wang Yanming find a deserted island.

Even if the size of the deserted island in front of us is not small, for a country with a long coastline, it is impossible to send troops to garrison all the deserted islands.The most important thing is that the deserted island in front of him is actually within the range of the high seas.

This means that anyone can go to this deserted island, but if they want to occupy it, it will definitely not work.Although they seldom come to such a distant sea area, the crew members on the ship feel that this is an island belonging to their own country.

As the security team boarded the island first in a lifeboat, they checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, Hong Wei also said in a timely manner: "Ocean, we have already checked. Although there are traces left by someone going to the island, there is no problem found."

"Got it, we'll be here soon! Get ready, find a suitable place, and camp on the island at night."

"understand!"

For Hong Wei and the others, staying overnight on a deserted island is naturally not a problem.In fact, even when they were in the army, they often conducted related training.Island hopping also requires training!
Knowing that the deserted island was safe, everyone who had been waiting for a long time also began to carefully put the prepared camping items on the lifeboat.The lifeboat that the security team drove away before also began to return to pick up people and loads.

Equipping with lifeboats also ensures that the crew have a chance to escape if there is a problem with the fishing boat.Compared with a lifebuoy, a lifeboat is undoubtedly safer.The most important thing is that most of the lifeboats are motorboats, which don't take up much space.

At the end, Zhuang Haiyang smiled and said: "You guys take the boat, I'll just swim there. Otherwise, I'll go around and see if I can get some fresh ingredients. Compared with frozen ones, you guys prefer to eat them Is it fresh?"

"That's natural! Although I'm tired of eating seafood, the grilled seafood still tastes good. You can have more lobster, abalone and so on. Now, we don't dislike it!"

"Get lost! Do you really think I'm a god? How can there be wild abalone in this place? If it's lobster, then you can try it. Don't worry, I will try my best to make some good grilled ones, so that you can have a good meal .”

At this time, Zhuang Haiyang didn't mind these comrades serving him.Many times, these comrades-in-arms also know that this titular boss has no airs.Getting along in private is actually no different from being in the army.

Looking at Zhuang Haiyang who jumped into the sea and began to search for ingredients, the others didn't think there was anything to worry about.Even the Antarctic Sea can't help Zhuang Ocean, let alone the current tropical seas?

As the captain, Wang Yanming still arranged for people to drop anchor and be on duty at night.Considering the safety of fishing boats, personnel are still on duty at night.Even on the island, people will still arrange vigil.

The purpose of doing this is very simple, that is, I don't want anything to happen at night.On the high seas, it's not a bad thing to be cautious.If something unexpected happens, it will be too late to regret it!
Zhuang Haiyang, who dived into the sea, still had many net bags tied to his body.While searching for the surrounding situation, Zhuang Haiyang focused more on searching for ingredients.Such as squid for grilling, and other seafood suitable for grilling.

After several net bags were almost full, Zhuang Haiyang finally appeared on the beach side of the deserted island.The place where Hong Wei and the others chose to camp was at the border between the beach and the bushes, and several camouflage tents had already been set up.

In order to avoid the possibility of rain at night, drainage ditches were even dug near the tents.For these non-commissioned officers who have retired from the navy, camping on deserted islands and even survival in the wild are very familiar training subjects.

Seeing Zhuang Haiyang getting up from the sea, carrying a few big net bags, and everyone busy on the beach, they also hurriedly said: "I grabbed a grass, Haiyang is really nothing to say. It took so long to find so much seafood." ?”

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you rush over to help! This little seafood probably isn't enough to eat!"

Being scolded by Zhuang Haiyang with a laugh, the closest comrades in arms rushed over.From Zhuang Haiyang's hands, he took over the freshly caught seafood.Seeing the things in the net pocket, everyone also praised them one after another.

Especially seeing the squid in a net, many comrades smiled and said: "You are so good, you can even catch squid, and this thing is the best to eat when grilled! It seems that you can really have a good meal at night."

"Okay! Find something to raise these ingredients, and then you arrange someone to handle them. Those few large snails should taste good if they are used for grilling. If you don't know how to grill, let Lao Wu do it himself."

"No problem! Such a big conch tastes the best when grilled over charcoal. However, it needs to be processed before grilling. Okay, let me handle this matter, and you can help butcher these sea fish."

As the head chef of the team, Wu Xingcheng naturally has the most say in terms of cooking.During the recent period, comrades are still a little picky.He also hopes to take this opportunity to let his comrades have a good time.

In the words of the army, if you eat and are full, you will have the strength to work!
Seeing that everyone has a clear division of labor, there is basically no need to worry about it.Zhuang Haiyang, carrying an empty net bag, quickly returned to the sea to continue his search journey.Searching around the deserted island, we still found a lot of edible seafood.

After all, this is open sea waters, and there are still a lot of seafood.However, Zhuang Haiyang is more picky, and most of the time he only picks the good ones.He is not interested in ordinary seafood at all, and he believes that other comrades are the same.

In the words of these comrades-in-arms, they all kept their mouths on the boat.Ordinary seafood, how could you be interested?

What surprised Zhuang Haiyang was that he was only looking for some edible seafood.As a result, on the seabed near the deserted island, I saw a sunken ancient shipwreck.To be precise, it should be an ancient battleship.

Through spiritual power, I looked at this ancient battleship that was almost buried in the mud of the seabed.Zhuang Haiyang, who had already accumulated a lot of knowledge about shipwrecks, quickly recognized that this kind of gunboat should be a foreign gunboat from the late Ming Dynasty.

If it is a gunboat that sank in a battle, it is naturally worthless to salvage.A few ancient bronze cannons are meaningless to Zhuang Haiyang.The reason is that there are several ancient bronze cannons in Dinghaizhu.

Even if it is shipped back to the domestic auction, in fact, no price can be auctioned.Of course, because the cannons are made of copper, they are more or less more valuable than iron or steel cannons.Among other things, if you melt it down and sell it as copper, you can sell it for a lot of money!
What really surprised Zhuang Haiyang was that the sunken gunboat was loaded with a lot of gold and silver coins and gold and silver utensils.The value of this precious metal is naturally higher.Come to think of it, this is also a colonial treasure ship.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "This is really unintentional! It seems that these guys have no rest at night. Fortunately, there are not many things on this sunken ship. If so many people work hard, it should be done in a few hours. .”

Calculate the depth of the water level, which is about [-] meters.Judging from the degree of damage to the battleship, Zhuang Haiyang felt that this treasure ship should not have experienced battle.More, it should be that the bottom of the ship was damaged and flooded due to hitting a rock.

Maybe the treasure ship saw a deserted island here, and planned to come to the deserted island to escape.Unexpectedly, the speed of the ship sinking was a bit fast.Or, when the treasure ship sank, it was very likely that it encountered extremely bad sea conditions.

Going around the nearby waters before, Zhuang Haiyang still saw several relatively large-scale submarine reefs.Although this is a high seas route, there are not many ships that will pass by this route.

Most importantly, these reefs are actually marked.As long as the ship has a navigation system, it can also get an early warning, and the passing ship will not deliberately run aground on the rocks.Perhaps because of this, the sunken ship was not found.

After confirming the position, Zhuang Haiyang continued to catch those seafood.After returning to the island, Zhuang Haiyang called Wu Xingcheng and said, "Old Wu, I'm afraid you will have to work hard for the cooking team. The others have other jobs!"

"what's the situation?"

"Good thing! Let them come over to have a celebration dinner after the work is over. I believe their appetite will be better."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingcheng's eyes lit up instantly and said, "Is there anything nearby?"

"Well! I spent a lot of time looking for it on the way back, but I found nothing. Now I want to take a rest, but I found something. I don't know exactly what is on board, but the location is very close. Good for salvage."

"Okay! This is a good thing, you just go to work, and leave the rest to me."

Wu Xingcheng was naturally happy when he learned that he had found a sunken ship suitable for salvage, as a part of the dividend.He is already planning to marry his girlfriend and even have children, but he still hopes to save a little more money!
Most importantly, according to the results of his discussions with his girlfriend.After the two get married, the girlfriend will also choose to give up her job and directly find a job within her ability in a travel company or on the island.

If there is really no suitable job, then she will be an accompanying family member and concentrate on making people with Wu Xingcheng.After all, the two have been talking for four or five years, and they are not too young. The parents of both families are urging them to have a child sooner!

After arranging the work of camping and barbecue, Zhuang Haiyang called Hong Wei and Wang Yanming together again and said: "Assemble the team and prepare to return to the boat! I have made new discoveries, and I hope to gain something. If I'm lucky, I should be able to earn a lot this time." !"

"What! You found out again?"

"Well! I have to say, I'm really lucky. I just wanted to find some delicious food for you, but I didn't expect to get a windfall. Let's not talk about it. Let the brothers go back to the boat by speedboat. The location is not far from the deserted island. too far."

"Okay! I'll gather the team immediately and return to the ship immediately."

As soon as they heard that there was a task, the people who were helping to build the camp quickly gathered together.Knowing that Zhuang Haiyang found a sunken ship nearby, everyone became excited instantly.Compared with camping, it is more interesting to salvage sunken ships to make money.

Especially for the new crew members, I learned from the old crew members that the dividends they can get from salvaging sunken ships are far more than fishing.Who wants to miss out on something that can make a lot of money?
As the first crew returned to the ship, they began to help recover the anchor.The fishing boat, which had been turned off, also started up again.After returning to the ship, the crew also began to wear corresponding diving equipment according to Zhu Junhong and others' instructions.

Before putting on diving equipment, it is natural to move your body first.Fortunately, according to Zhuang Haiyang's introduction, the sea area where the sunken ship sank was only about [-] meters away.This depth is not a problem for all divers and salvagers.

Dangzhuang Haiyang commanded the fishing boat and arrived above the sea area where the sunken ship was located.Returning to Zhuang Haiyang on the deck, he immediately said: "Old rules, I will go into the sea first, and wait for the next group to come down to clean up the mud first, and the next two groups will get ready."

"understand!"

"Prepare all the carrying baskets. As long as the luck is not too bad, if a ship sinks, you can fish something up anyway."

"Okay! We will arrange this matter!"

After confessing, Zhuang Haiyang, as usual, directly pulled the sling and began to sink slowly into the bottom of the sea.Subsequent divers can directly follow the sling to find the location of the sunken ship and Zhuang Haiyang.

After arranging the underwater lights, Zhuang Haiyang began to use spells to clean up the relatively thick silt on the sunken ship.This is also to reduce the dredging workload of comrades-in-arms.Otherwise, it would take a long time just to clean up the silt.

With the help of the intercom, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Junzi, do you get it?"

"Roger that!"

"Start getting into the water! Your group, just bring down the dredging equipment."

"understand!"

After receiving the order, Zhu Junhong immediately ordered a group of diving team members to prepare for launching.When one diver turned over and dived into the sea, the divers who turned on the searchlights above their heads quickly dived into the location of the wreck along the sling.

Looking at the sunken ship, which was mostly buried in mud, everyone said excitedly: "This ship looks like a big tonnage!"

"It's not bad! It looks like it's not an iron-hulled ship, and it shouldn't be too young."

There are more sunken ships salvaged, and these comrades also know that the sunken ships with wooden shells are older.The sunken ship with an iron shell is actually younger, and the chances of salvaging good things are lower.Of course, this is not absolute.

If the iron-hulled ship that transported the treasure can be salvaged, the harvest will undoubtedly be huge.It’s just that once such treasure ships go missing or shipwreck at sea, most of them will leave traces and become the targets of salvage ships from various countries.

As the dredging work began, many comrades felt a chill when looking at the copper cannons exposed on the surface of the silt.In their opinion, compared with this kind of warship, the probability of salvaging good things from ancient civilian shipwrecks is actually higher!
