You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

Half an hour later, Jack and several team members finally surfaced successfully before running out of oxygen.

Guo Kun's two bodyguards quickly helped and pulled the five people up. The depth of the seabed here is deeper than that to the east and north. That's why Jack's round trip time will be longer.

"How's it going?"

"There is indeed a sunken ship, but it seems to be a trench at the bottom, which is a bit deep. With the equipment we brought, it is almost impossible to bring the entire ship up."

Jack was a little tired, and it was obvious that he had not recovered his energy yet. He continued: "However, you can go on the boat and search to see if there is anything valuable, and then bring it back."

The hull is certainly not salvageable.

The ship that sank at the bottom of the sea might be bigger than the cruise ship we rented. How can we fish it out?

Guo Kun looked at Xu Yi and asked:

"Brother Xu, what do you think?"

This time out, Xu Yi was a partner after all. Although he only accounts for three-thirds of the molecules, he still has the right to speak. Therefore, Guo Kun must listen to Xu Yi's thoughts before making a decision.

Xu Yi muttered:

"Limited by the conditions, this is the only way."

He didn't think that just a few people on the cruise ship could pull the sunken ship out of the trench. Although the Langgligelang salvage team is professional, they only opened one cruise ship this time, but there is no relevant salvage ship, so it is difficult for a skilled woman to make a meal without rice.

Just listen to Guo Kun saying to Jack: "That's it. When we get down, you can search as much as you can."

"As for the body of the sunken ship... forget it."

"It's just a pile of junk. It's not even worth a few bucks to salvage it."

Although seawater is not as corrosive as sulfuric acid, any ship hull will be corroded over time. It is not wrong to say that it is a pile of scrap metal.

Once the direction is set, the next step is to make specific arrangements for the search.

According to the round-trip itinerary, the time to go down and come up is almost half an hour.

The launch just now was due to the delay in searching for the target. If you have a clear goal and go straight to the bottom of the sea, you can save a lot of time. However, even so, the situation on the other side of the hull is still unknown. Whether there is a big fish hidden or a silent mechanism is unknown.

So the search certainly won't be done too quickly.

"Jaws, you're responsible for checking everyone's wetsuits."

"Ji Po, go check out our oxygen bottles."

"This time when we go into the water, in addition to the oxygen bottles we carry on our bodies, we will also drag a large oxygen bottle down."

"Electric Eel, go and sort out the storage bags. If you find the items in a while, put them all in bags and bring them up."

Captain Jack arranged his work in an orderly manner.

The names of these people should obviously be code names.

Even Jack himself, the name may be a code name.

This is in line with the spirit of the Langligelang salvage team. Who doesn’t have a stage name when traveling?

Seeing that everyone was busy working, Xu Yi sat on the deck, but he couldn't help at all. He rubbed his hands and asked tentatively: "So, is there anything I can do to help?"

Jack didn't look back: "Just help and watch."

When professional people do professional things, they generally don't like others to interfere.

Because the so-called help will only make it more difficult.

It didn't take long for all the team members to be ready. Jack took a deep breath, greeted Guo Kun, and then took the lead and dived into the vast sea.

"Just wait and see, Jack and the others are professionals."

Seeing that Xu Yi seemed a little uneasy, Guo Kun spoke to comfort him.

Xu Yi nodded: "You're right."

Time passed by little by little, and in less than twenty minutes, news came back from the bottom of the sea: "Boss Guo, we have arrived at the place where the shipwreck was. This ship is indeed very large, and it seems to be quite old."

Guo Kun: "Don't waste time, just get on the ship and search."

Jack: "Got it!"

Under the sea.

Jack, Great White Shark and others moved forward in a regular pentagon.

Ji Po placed the shared large oxygen tank on the bow of the boat and tied it to the side of the boat with a rope to prevent it from being washed away by the ocean currents on the seabed. Others carried their own oxygen bottles and boarded the ship one by one.

This treasure ship is at least a hundred years old.

There are almost no traces of modern technology on it.

Jack took advantage of the water to push open the door of the cabin, and then said to a teammate behind him: "Electric Eel, go to the bottom of the boat and take a look. If there are any scattered boxes, push them up too. Great White Shark, you and I come into the cabin. Be alert."

Although this kind of shipwreck is not dangerous in a general sense.

But Jack was still cautious.

In their line of work, caution is the first rule of survival.

Even in places where there is no danger, Jack will habitually be alert to possible dangers. This ship has sunk to the bottom of the sea for decades or hundreds of years. Who knows what changes have taken place? What if there is something unforeseen? It's better to be careful.

The great white shark holds a speargun in his hand and is on guard.

After opening the cabin door, Jack was a little surprised by the scene inside the cabin. It was dilapidated, it was too dilapidated.

Such a large treasure ship would still be a luxury cruise ship in modern times. How could the facilities inside be so simple? Apart from wooden beams and some simple tables and chairs, there is almost nothing else.

"There's nothing here!"

Jaws followed Jack and said somewhat puzzled.

Just listen to Jack say: "This should be the activity area of ​​the cabin. The actual storage of goods must be in the bottom warehouse. However, it seems that although this ship is large, it is not luxurious, and it may not be an official ship."

"Captain, you are wrong."

Great White Shark seemed to know a lot about this aspect and immediately explained: "If this ship is really a treasure ship from a hundred years ago, then it must be a giant trading ship. At that time, among several European countries, There were frequent trade exchanges. At that time, what was needed was efficient and anti-piracy equipment, but the interior decoration of the ship was actually not that particular."

"what?"

"Captain, come and see, there are Chinese characters engraved here!"

The great white shark stayed on the doorpost of the back door of the cabin, with a row of Chinese characters clearly engraved vertically on it.

The Ming Dynasty treasure ship travels all over the world.

Ming dynasty?

Great White Shark was startled, and then said happily: "Captain, this should be a treasure ship from the Dragon Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty. According to time calculation, it is at least six or seven hundred years ago from today! Darling, this is incredible, this ship's The hull definitely has great archaeological value!"

Jack didn't have time to study the hull, and he wasn't an archaeologist.

His mission is simple, find something valuable.

"Stop studying it here. Can you study it clearly?" He walked around to the cargo warehouse at the bottom of the cabin and called out to Jaws: "Come here and help. Since it is a treasure ship, there should be a lot of cargo inside."

"It's just that it's been so long, and I don't know what can be left?"

Jack was unsure.

I have participated in several seabed salvages before, but usually they were shipwrecks in recent decades.

Those that are hundreds of years old are rare.

Not to mention something like this that's six or seven hundred years old.

I'm afraid the contents inside have long been completely corroded by the sea water!

At that time, there was no ability to produce non-degradable items. It was either silk, gold or silver. If they sank to the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, they would probably have turned into decay.

The two opened the door of the bottom cabin and were about to swim in.

at this time!

I heard the somewhat frightened voice of the chicken woman: "Captain, my oxygen bottle seems to have a crack..."

These words, in the deep sea, are like the voice of death.

Jack immediately shouted: "Don't move, don't move. I'm coming over right now." "Damn it, didn't I ask you to check the oxygen tank?"

"Is this how you check?"

The chicken lady is also very innocent: "I checked all of you. When it was my turn, I thought that everyone was fine, so there should be no problem. So I didn't take a closer look at my own oxygen tank. Who knows, this Something went wrong.”

The chicken woman stood at the bottom of the boat, motionless.

The other four members quickly gathered around.

If the single oxygen bottle is broken, the oxygen cannot be stored, and the large oxygen bottle with centralized oxygen supply can only be connected to the single oxygen bottle. In other words, once the chicken is out of oxygen, it will be the oxygen in the large oxygen bottle. , he can't suck it either.

The situation is critical.

Jack stepped forward to inspect the crack, but he did not dare to touch it with his hands.

The only way now is to have someone bring another oxygen bottle down from above, otherwise the chicken's life will end.

Jack did not hesitate at all and immediately called the cruise ship:

"Boss Guo, Boss Guo!"

"There was a little accident."

"There is a crack in one of our team members' oxygen bottles, and it may burst at any time. Please arrange for someone to send another oxygen bottle down. It's troublesome."

The unruly Jack actually felt a bit of pain when he begged for help at this moment.

Guo Kun heard the voice coming from the intercom and stood up suddenly.

Oxygen bottle burst?

How could such a low-level accident happen?

However, now is not the time to find out what went wrong. Guo Kun quickly replied: "Jack, don't worry, I'll have someone come down right away."

It's important to save people.

Guo Kun was just about to instruct one of his bodyguards to go into the water to save people, but Xu Yi took the initiative and said:

"Mr. Guo, let me go!"

"You..." Seeing Xu Yi's eagerness to give it a try, Guo Kun couldn't help but said: "Brother Xu, we are going down here to save people. My bodyguard is very good at water. If we let him go down, we should meet Jack and the others faster."

"I'm pretty good at water too!"

After Xu Yi finished speaking, he put on his diving equipment.

Then he hung up two single oxygen bottles and jumped into the sea like a diver.

This kid...

Guo Kun couldn't laugh or cry.

However, according to Zhong Guoliang's high regard for Xu Yi, this kid has always been prudent in doing things, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Boss~"

When the bodyguard saw this, he didn't know whether he should continue jumping.

Just listen to Guo Kun say: "Wait a minute!"

At this time, letting the bodyguard jump again would be a sign of extreme distrust of Xu Yi.

Guo Kun would not do such a thing.

Xu Yi quickly sank into the sea with two oxygen bottles on his back.

His speed was extremely fast, and his whole body fell straight to the bottom of the sea like a stone. Ten minutes later, Xu Yi saw Jack, Great White Shark and the others, and of course, he also saw the sunken ship in the trench.

"This way!"

Jack waved his hand.

Xu Yi swung his legs and swam towards Jack.

At this time, the cracks in Ji Po's oxygen bottle seemed to have begun to crack again, and they were as big as a gap, directly penetrating the entire bottle body.

boom!

Within three seconds, the oxygen bottle burst.

The impact of the explosion was like a small hand grenade exploding on the bottom of the sea. The water rolls and the heat waves wash over it.

not good!

"Quick! Help Ji Po put on the new oxygen bottle." Xu Yi handed over the new oxygen bottle against the burst of water.

Fortunately, Ji Po's diving suit was not affected, otherwise she wouldn't have needed an oxygen tank. The huge sea pressure could instantly crush Ji Po into chicken powder.

The great white shark and the electric eel held up the oxygen cylinder. Jack worked very quickly and connected the tube in just a few seconds.

No near misses.

"I didn't expect you to come down."

Jack gestured towards Xu Yi, "I thought it was Boss Guo's bodyguard who came down."

"Anyway, you saved Ji Po's life, thank you."

Xu Yi floated, spread his hands and said:

"Why are you so polite?"

"You can't be too polite for saving my life." Chicken Woman also swam forward and hugged Xu Yi, "Anyway, I owe Brother Xu your life. If you can use it in the future, just say so."

Xu Yi:......

He didn't even know how to answer the call.

He had no choice but to change the topic, pointed to the sunken ship behind everyone, and then said:

"This is the hull, right?"

"good."

Jack turned around and introduced: "Brother Xu is good at water. Did you often go into the sea before?"

From the time Jack called for help to the time Xu Yi rushed to the bottom of the sea, Xu Yi spent even less time than Jack and the others. What does this mean? This shows that Xu Yi moves faster in the water than the others!

This is a bit unscientific.

Jack and the others eat this bowl of food, and they usually train in the water.

But Xu Yi...

He is an amateur, but he can do better than a professional?

Of course, this is because Jack didn't know that Xu Yi had already set a world record in the 400-meter freestyle, otherwise he probably wouldn't be so surprised.

Just listen to Xu Yi smile and say:

"No."

"I just play in the pool occasionally, and my water skills are really good."

"This ship..."

Xu Yi inadvertently changed the topic to the sunken ship, "It's so big! Our tools shouldn't be able to pull it up, right?"

"It definitely can't be pulled."

Jack showed his professionalism at this moment, "After preliminary calculations, in terms of weight alone, this ship exceeds the limit of the salvage tools we carry. Therefore, if we want to remove the hull, we will have to open at least two Pull the boat out.”

Xu Yi nodded.

"Is there something up there?"

"I haven't looked at it yet. Just when I was about to go to the cargo hold in the bottom cabin to take a look, Ji Po's oxygen tank exploded."

While the two were chatting, the Great White Shark suddenly swam over and said to Xu Yi: "Xiao Xu, guess what the origin of this ship is? You must not have imagined that a ship sank to the bottom of the sea at this place and this location. , turned out to be a Ming treasure ship from six to seven hundred years ago!"

Hearing this, Xu Yi felt a flash of shock in his heart:

"What did you say?"

"The treasure ship of our country's Ming Dynasty?" (End of this chapter)
