Chapter 155 Excited crowd

As night fell, Xu Haibao and his party who were stationed on the deserted island did not rush to the place where the sunken ship was found immediately.As a professional diver, Xu Haibao knows very well that it is not suitable for deep diving just after eating.

The sunken ship he discovered earlier was still about [-] meters deep from the sea surface.This also means that the members of the diving team who accompany him into the sea need to face a lot of tests.It will take a long time to clean up the sediment of the sunken ship.

They can be rotated from time to time compared to when they were in the army.But right now, there are only five players who can help Xu Haibao.Ma Cheng, who failed the trial training earlier, was naturally excluded by Xu Haibao from the list of diving operations.

After re-boarding the yacht, Tang Xingyou followed Xu Haibao's guidance and quickly arrived at the location where Xu Haibao discovered the sunken ship earlier.In order to ensure the safety of the divers, Xu Haibao specially fixed the safety rope on the yacht.

He said to You Guangwei and others who were staying on the boat: "I will still go into the water to explore the way first. If the safety rope is pulled forward, the rudder will move the yacht forward. The position of the yacht is best to face the sunken ship.

When the rest of the divers went into the sea, they dived along the safety rope, still following the old rules and putting safety first.In addition, bring underwater photography equipment, and the entire salvage process will be recorded.This is also to prove that the location of the sunken ship is in the open sea. "

"Okay, I got it!"

After listening to Xu Haibao's instructions, seeing Xu Haibao who dived into the sea again without diving equipment, he pulled the safety rope and quickly dived.Not long after, You Guangwei, who was in charge of placing the safety rope, said, "The steering wheel, drive a little further!"

As the safety rope remained basically perpendicular to the sea surface, You Guangwei was still at the end, allowing the other four divers to dive one after another.And the people on board also began to prepare for response and vigilance.

Zhao Ji and the others, who were in charge of safety, even stood on the deck of the yacht, keeping an eye on the surrounding sea conditions from time to time.It can be said that although they were not on the salvage ship this time, the atmosphere still made everyone feel like an actual combat.

Now they're on the high seas, and they stumble across an ancient shipwreck.Although it is not yet clear what is on the sunken ship.But Zhao Ji, who is in charge of safety, and others know that if they encounter other salvage ships, conflicts may arise.

At that time, no one can guarantee whether there will be an exchange of fire.Even if they seek support from the domestic coast guard, the coast guard ships will not be able to arrive in a short time.In many cases, confrontations at sea are often short-lived.The winner leaves, and the loser stays in the sea forever.

Wang Yuzhu, who was diving with some cleaning tools, first appeared in front of Xu Haibao.Looking at the diving flashlight plugged in near the sunken ship, Wang Yuzhu also clearly saw the sunken ship with little outline.

When the other divers were all in position, Xu Haibao pointed the camera at the location of the sunken ship and gestured: "Clean up the sand on the sunken ship first! Be careful during the cleaning process!"

"understand!"

After the five divers made an OK gesture, they began to clean up the sand around the sunken ship under the guidance of Xu Haibao.Performing such a clean-up task at this depth is really stressful for divers.

Fortunately, five divers had also performed such tasks in the army, and Xu Haibao was responsible for transferring the cleaned up sediment.In addition, the swell on the bottom of the sea is not large, so Xu Haibao doesn't have to worry too much about mud and sand mixing up the sea.

As the sunken ship slowly revealed its appearance, Xu Haibao recognized at a glance that it was a commercial sea-going ship from the Ming and Qing Dynasties when he saw the gradually clear sunken ship.Judging from the breakage of the ship, it should have accidentally hit a rock and sank here.

Finding the location where the sunken ship was split, Xu Haibao asked the five of them to take a break, took the cleaning tools and began to dismantle the sunken ship.After opening an entry gap, quickly see what's on the wreck.

Porcelain and fragments can be seen everywhere in the pile of wooden boxes that have been completely decayed.It can be seen from these porcelains that this is a merchant ship transporting porcelain.Some wooden boxes are completely weathered, but nothing can be seen.

It can also be inferred from this that the items stored in these wooden boxes are presumably completely rotted, and there are no signs of them.Wang Yuzhu and others who followed Xu Haibao into the sunken ship were somewhat happy when they saw the intact porcelain.

Just when Xu Haibao felt that there were not many things on the sunken ship.In the main cabin of the merchant ship, Xu Haibao quickly found two iron boxes.After opening it, the contents inside made Wang Yuzhu and others instantly excited.

One of the boxes had blackened ingots, which seemed to be silver ingots or something.And the other box was still glowing yellow, and everyone knew what it was.Although not in large quantities, the metal is undeniably expensive.

After closing the iron box again, Xu Haibao looked at You Guangwei beside him and gestured: "Go up first, and notify the people above to prepare to pick up the things. Find a few bags from the boat, and transport all the things to the boat later!"

"it is good!"

After Xu Haibao's order, You Guangwei quickly floated up along the safety rope.When it came out of the water, Tang Xingyou, who had been paying attention to the underwater movement, immediately asked, "Jellyfish, how is the situation?"

"It's okay! I found a lot of good things, a box of silver ingots and a lot of gold ingots. Other than that, most of them are porcelain. According to Swordfish, those porcelains should be from the early Ming Dynasty. By the way, take a few bags Give me!"

"Okay! You must be more careful down there!"

After coming out of the water and confessing, You Guangwei took a few bags and a traction rope and dived back to the location of the sunken ship.Under the shipwreck at this time, Wang Yuzhu and others also began to clean up the complete porcelain.

After moving it out of the sunken ship and putting it on the ground next to it, seeing You Guangwei diving down, everyone carefully put the porcelain into the bag.When it's almost loaded, one of the divers pulls on the leash.

Tang Xingyou and the others staying on the boat felt the pulling force from below and began to pull the rope up.At this time, the diver will also protect the bag that is constantly floating, and dive out of the water with the bag to take a breath and have a rest.

As the first bag of porcelain successfully emerged from the water, the people on board who were in charge of responding, under the caution of the divers, carefully carried the bag to the yacht, and moved all the porcelain out of it and piled it on the yacht deck.

Looking at these porcelains that have been corroded by seawater for hundreds of years and still maintain an immortal luster, although everyone does not understand the price of these porcelains.But they know that this trip to the sea trial has such unexpected gains, and it is really worth being happy.

As bags of porcelain were salvaged on board, Xu Haibao finally said, seeing You Guangwei and others staying on the water for too long, "You guys get on the boat first, and I will do the rest. You haven't fully recovered yet, don't wait in the water." Too long at the bottom of the sea!"

"It's okay! We can hold on!"

"Excuting an order!"

Under Xu Haibao's strong request, You Guangwei and others could only go up first.At this time, Xu Haibao, who was alone underwater, began to act as a porter, carrying the porcelain out of the boat and sending it to the surface of the water in bags.

Although there were fewer people, Tang Xingyou and others discovered that the speed of receiving porcelain was actually accelerated.By the time the last two iron boxes were pulled onto the boat, various types of early Ming porcelain had already been piled up on the entire yacht.

Seeing Xu Haibao who also got on the yacht after transporting the last two iron boxes, everyone staying on the yacht was also full of joy looking at the porcelain.In their view, the sense of accomplishment of salvaging the sunken ship is really exciting.

On the other hand, Xu Haibao, who got on the boat, looked at the excited people and quickly said, "Tiger Shark, didn't you find anything unusual?"

"No! It's very quiet around here!"

"OK! Put all the porcelain on the deck into the bedroom. These two boxes of gold, silver and copper coins are also stored in it. Let's go back to the island to rest first, and we will go to Qiongya Island after dawn."

"Aren't you leaving now?"

"It's not safe to go at night! It's better to wait until dawn! What's more, this batch of things has to be counted. After I discuss with the people above, I will see if the country is willing to accept it. If not, then go directly to Xiangjiang. "

"it is good!"

With the decision made by Xu Haibao, Tang Xingyou and others didn't say much.Soon I drove the yacht and returned to the place where the tent was set up before.As for the things on the boat, Xu Haibao did not transfer them to the island.

Overnight on this kind of deserted island, it is natural to arrange a watchman at night.One is to confirm the safety of the yacht, and the other is to prevent sea snakes from invading the campsite in the middle of the night.In short, after going to the island, the mood of everyone is still very happy.

On the other hand, Xu Haibao said calmly at this moment: "Copy the recorded video, I will use it later!"

After the recorded video was copied, Xu Haibao found a relatively quiet place and called the number on the certificate for the first time.According to the artificial voice prompt from the mobile phone, enter your ID number.

Not long after, a voice finally came from the mobile phone: "Dear special agent, hello! May I ask what you need?"

"I want to contact Director Tian Haoming!"

"Okay, please wait a moment! This is the transfer for you!"

From the words the operator said, Xu Haibao knew very well that his conversation with the Special Affairs Office was likely to be recorded.To a certain extent, as long as he contacts the Secret Affairs Institute, he will receive the attention of the Special Affairs Institute.

Even though it is already early in the morning, Tian Haoming's cell phone is still connected quickly.The other party also said politely: "Mr. Xu, hello! It's so late, what's the matter?"

"There is one thing, I want to hear your opinion! I will forward a video later, please accept it. After watching it, give me a decision. Of course, I hope it is an official decision!"

"it is good!"

After agreeing very simply, Tian Haoming, who was woken up in the middle of the night, also quietly waited for the video data sent by Xu Haibao.After watching the video data sent by Xu Haibao, Tian Haoming was also very surprised.

Just seeing the porcelain piled up in the yacht's bedroom, and those few precious metals.Tian Haoming also knew very well that he needed to give Xu Haibao an answer on behalf of the authorities.That is, under what conditions will the state purchase this batch of hailao porcelain.

From Xu Haibao's location and the video shot.It is enough to show that the sunken ship salvaged by Xu Haibao and others is in the high seas.So what kind of advice should the government give on such salvaged items?
