World Tibet Bureau

Chapter 756 It's Not Too Late
Since people can’t handle it.

Just get this machine first!
Sanheizi replied: "Understood!"

Next.

The two of us wandered around pretending to be bored.

Sanheizi broke off a long branch, made a toad leg, and made a simple fishhook. He fished on the shore, but his main purpose was to keep an eye on the machinery on the boat.

I saw some sea monkeys who had not gone to the sea playing cards and betting money in a tent, so I walked over and gave them cigarettes to smoke. They took the cigarettes and smoked them, but they were too lazy to offend me.

But there was a guy with long nose hair and no front teeth. He never participated in the gambling and only watched from the side.

I watched them making money for a while, and had no choice but to chat with this long-nosed hairy guy.

After getting a little familiar with it.

I let Long Nose Hair smoke outside to get some air. During the process of smoking, I pretended to be dissatisfied with the taste of the cigarette and gave him the remaining half pack of Huazi. His attitude became friendly to me and he started talking.

The name of this man with long nose hair is Luo Ben, and others call him Lao Ben.

I introduced myself as Lao Jianping, nicknamed Lao Turtle Dove, and I came to the island to appraise treasures this time.

Lao Ben told me that there were four groups of Sea Monkeys coming this time, from Guangdong Province, Fujian Province, and Guizhou Province, a total of seven people.The other three routes were all shared by two people, but he was the only one traveling together.Every day, two sea monkeys follow the treasure hunter into the sea to look for sunken ships.Yesterday he went down with the ship, and today it was his turn to rest. It would be three days before it was his turn to go out with the ship again.

Because it was so boring to have nothing to do on the island, these friends who originally sneered at each other would get together to play cards and gamble for money when they had nothing to do.

Prince Xiya gave them a price of 100 million for each route. He made a partial deposit in the early stage, but the prerequisite for settling the final payment was that the Qin ship must be salvaged.

This is actually the same as us.

Lao Ben has been working as a sea monkey since he was more than ten years old. He has rich experience and is now almost fifty.

The work of sea monkeys is no better than that of robbing graves on land, because going to the sea requires strong physical support. In fact, after the age of 30, all aspects of the body's functions decline sharply.

There are too many unpredictable risks in going into the sea. If you are not sure, you may encounter some vicious fish, vines, cramps and the like. When your body is young, you can quickly get rid of it based on experience, but once your body function declines, even if you know What to do, there is more than enough heart but not enough strength. A small cramp is enough to cause death.

For this reason, most sea monkeys choose to retire before they reach their forties.

The reason why Lao Ben still goes to sea when he is almost [-] is not because he has no money, but because he has a child studying abroad and playing music. The expenses are relatively high, like a bottomless pit, and there is no way.

A typical person becomes worse than a dog in middle age.

This is probably the reason why he just watched but didn't gamble.

I asked him: "You have been to the sea so many times. Based on your experience, are there any Qin ships?"

Lao Ben said: "There must be! But whether we can find it or not is another matter!"

I said, "I see such advanced equipment, how come I can't find it?"

When Lao Ben heard this, he chuckled: "The equipment can detect areas with large amounts of metal deposits. But there are animals and plants, silt, ocean currents under the sea... there are many unpredictable situations!"

"After determining the location, the key is to look at the people! For example, if a ship is buried in the mud, how thick is the mud, how can you dig it without getting wrapped up in the mud, and where can you get it out the fastest if the ship is so big? Bao, what if the hull suddenly collapses after people enter the ship... These are all problems that cannot be solved by machines."

I asked: "What if we use large equipment to lift it as a whole?"

Lao Ben patted me on the shoulder: "Xiao Lao, you are still too young and take it for granted."

"Not to mention whether we can find a large hoisting machine that matches the sunken ship. Even if we find it, can we accurately measure the stress point of the hoisting, whether the ship will fall apart during the hoisting process, and whether the treasures inside will be damaged during the hoisting. Flushed away? These are all questions!"

"We have so many treasures sunk at the bottom of the sea. Why are so few of them recovered by the cultural relics department? Isn't it because the technology is not up to par?"

I asked again: "What is the name of the detection machine on the ship? Isn't it tiring to lift it up and down like this every day?"

Lao Ben replied: "It's an English name. Who knows what it is called... I can't help it. They pinpointed the location of the sunken ship all by relying on this gadget. It is said that Prince Xiya spent a lot of effort to buy it from all over the world." It took a lot of precision instruments to be successfully assembled, which is very valuable!”

I am delighted.

It seems there is only one.

We had a good chat.

During lunch and dinner, Lao Ben also ate with us.

Prince Xiya's logistics support is really good. For those of us who have no work to do for the time being, we can also provide alcohol, but no cigarettes.

I saw that Lao Ben was a heavy smoker, so I guessed that he didn't bring enough cigarettes this time, so I stuffed him with a cigarette.

Hu Qin, the little tiger girl, bought this Huazi for me and Sanheizi when we were in the hotel. We bought two of them at the time, but we only took apart one of them.

Lao Ben was so happy that he burped from wine and patted me on the shoulder, saying that Xiao Lao was worth paying for.

That's certainly worth it!eight pm.

I saw Sea Monkey and others starting to set up gambling again.

Lao Ben ran to look again.

Me, Sanheizi, and the little tiger girl Hu Qin entered the same tent.

Sanheizi said: "It's basically clear! After the detection machine finishes its work every day, it will be lifted off the ship and carried to a tent in the southeast corner. There will be a person on duty outside. His job is to guard the machine and paint it Oil maintenance. But this guy has a bit of a gambling addiction. During the day, I saw him sneak out from time to time, bet with the sea monkey and then run back. "

I made a decision immediately: "This matter should be done sooner rather than later! Let's take action tonight, destroy the machine, and catch them off guard!"

The little tiger girl Hu Qin asked: "How to destroy it?"

I said: "Hu Qin, wait a minute, you go to those sea monkeys to gamble. When you see the guy guarding the instrument, you lose all your money to him in a short time. He wants to leave, but you drag him and don't let him go."

"If you tell the two of us to go back and get the money, after we go out, we will go straight to Huanglong and destroy the machine. The time will be within 10 minutes!"

The little tiger girl Hu Qin replied: "Okay!"

The negotiation is over.

The three of them immediately went to the tent where the sea monkeys were gambling.

Let’s look first.

Later, Hu Qin began to press for money.

At first she won and lost.

Ten p.m.

A man came in outside the tent.

Sanheizi gave me a slight nod of his head.

It seems that this guy is guarding the tent.

After he arrived, a group of sea monkeys became accustomed to it and asked him if he could suppress it.

He pressed the money directly.

It happened to be the little tiger girl Hu Qin's turn to be the banker.

Unexpectedly, her gambling skills were very good. After a few rounds, she lost all her money without saying a word.

The little tiger girl Hu Qin's face turned red: "Don't leave, we will fight until dawn!"

A sea monkey smiled and said: "Beauty, do you still have money?"

She replied: "I have no money? Are you kidding me! Xiaolao, Xiaoniu, go back and get the money!"

The person laughed again and asked, "What if we lose everything again?"

When the little tiger girl Hu Qin heard this, she pretended to be angry, stepped on the gaming table, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her onion-white arms, and deliberately pulled down the collar of her shirt, showing off her extremely pink neck: "Lost all? If anyone can win all my money, I will wait for him all night to pay off the debt, and I will ensure that he gets value for money!"

This drama was added...

It was like a sudden inspiration!
Many people in the world may have been holding it in for a long time.

The atmosphere in the venue was about to explode.

I saw the guy guarding the machine staring straight at the little tiger girl's neck and swallowing saliva.

Sanheizi and I pretended to persuade her a few words.

As a result, the little tiger girl Hu Qin scolded her away.

We took advantage of the darkness, hid ourselves from the patrol, and quickly walked towards the tent where the machine was hidden in the southeast corner.

Sure enough, no one was guarding the outside of the tent!

This is a big oversight by Prince Xiya!
He thought that everyone came here to seek money, and this machine was actually a source of wealth for everyone, but he never thought that someone who was not here to seek money would try to mess with this machine!

Let's go in and have a look.

A large machine is placed inside.

It has a strong smell of fresh engine oil!
