Chapter 92 Seabed Search
Xu Haibao, who participated in the salvage of sunken ships many times in his previous life, has also heard a lot about the treasures of sunken ships.This trip to Waiding Island is also to verify a rumor that I heard in my previous life, to see if I can catch a leak in advance.

Under normal circumstances, most of the people involved in the salvage of the sunken ship will not casually tell too many things about the salvage of the sunken ship.But in the inner circle, some people still can't help mentioning their previous achievements.

According to what the person said in the previous life, beside a hidden reef near the offshore of Waiding Island, the salvage crew who was good at diving accidentally discovered an ancient shipwreck that sank on the hidden reef.Later, many good things were recovered from the sunken ship.

Xu Haibao, who participated in the internal exchange meeting at that time, still remembers what he said clearly.Waiding Island and hidden reefs are the only clues, but it will take a lot of time to find the exact location.

As the necessary place for international routes entering and leaving the South Pacific in the Pearl River Delta region, Waiding Island also has a very important strategic position.During the Qing Dynasty, there were also a lot of merchant ships coming and going here.

In this case, the number of merchant ships sunk in this sea area is also quite large.Therefore, Xu Haibao made a special trip this time before going to Hong Kong, hoping to retrieve the treasure from the sunken ship.

Although Xu Haibao knew that salvaging sunken ships in his own country's waters seemed a bit unkind.But as far as the current salvage situation of sunken ships is concerned, many countries around the South China Sea are frantically salvaging sunken ships from the bottom of the sea.

Even if many of the ancient sunken ships belonged to China, they still couldn't resist the crazy salvage of those people.In the name of archaeology, these surrounding countries have cooperated with some foreign salvage companies to continuously salvage sunken ships in the South China Sea.

After being reborn in this life, Xu Haibao still hopes to salvage more ancient shipwrecks belonging to China before other countries.In addition to earning money from this, Xu Haibao also hopes to win glory for the country.

At least as far as the current situation is concerned, there is still a big gap between Huaxia's salvage technology in ocean sunken ships, compared with the very formal and professional foreign shipwreck salvage.Many domestic salvage companies are basically state-owned.

There are really not many private shipwreck salvage companies.Under such circumstances, the country has nothing to criticize in the face of foreign salvage companies cooperating with countries around the South China Sea to salvage sunken ships on the high seas.After all, the laws involved are too complex!

On the first night of arriving at Waiding Island, Xu Haibao still walked around in a very low-key manner, and did not choose to go to the sea to search.Until the next day, I rented a fishing boat and asked the boatman to take me to a nearby sea fishing ground.

For tourists, renting a boat to go out to sea to play sea fishing is also a tourist project that many tourists prefer.When the fishing boat got out of the pier, Xu Haibao, who had already found out that there was a hidden reef, directly asked the boat boss to go in that direction.

Hearing Xu Haibao's words, the boat boss was a little puzzled and said, "Why do you go to Miaozi Bay? There are not many places suitable for sea fishing! And there are many hidden reefs there, so we don't usually go there. !"

"Master, your fishing boat should be fine, right? I don't go too far. I heard that there are more fish there, so I want to go there to catch a few rods. You are familiar with it, and it should be no problem to avoid those hidden reefs." Bar?"

"That's no problem! But, don't go too far!"

"Don't worry! As long as you find a place where you can go fishing, you can come back first. In the afternoon, you can pick me up there again."

"That!"

Knowing that he didn't have to stay there with Xu Haibao, the boss of the boat was quite happy.After all, Xu Haibao paid for the boat charter for a day, but did not need him to accompany him.You only need to pick up and drop off in the morning and evening, then the money is naturally easy to make!

On the way to the hidden reef area, Xu Haibao also chatted with the boat boss, and learned a lot about the hidden reef of Waiding Island from the other party.Compared with the fact that many reefs are marked now, in the early years these reefs caused many merchant ships to stumble.

After sailing for more than an hour, looking at the large reef ahead, the captain of the boat also said at the right time: "Brother Xu, why don't you just go fishing here? There are a lot of groupers around here. If it is, it should be able to catch it.

And there is a mobile phone signal here, and if you go further ahead, the signal will be intermittent.If you plan to come back, call me in advance and I'll pick you up then.In addition, if you have nothing to do, don't go into the sea casually.

There are many hidden reefs here, and there are not many tourists who usually come here to play.If something happens at sea, it will be troublesome!Food and water to drink, you can carry more later, call me anytime you need anything! "

"Okay, thank you master!"

Carrying some pre-prepared food and fresh water from the fishing boat, Xu Haibao found a suitable place for rock climbing and got off the boat.As for the boss of the boat, after some more careful instructions, he drove the fishing boat out of Xu Haibao's sight.

Looking at the nearby waters, Xu Haibao also marked several key search areas.Having engaged in the salvage of sunken ships in the ocean many times in his previous life, Xu Haibao naturally knows how to analyze the route and determine the approximate location of the sunken ship.If you look for it that way, your chances of success will be higher!
Those who are fishing at sea come here to hunt for treasure, but also to avoid attracting attention.For Xu Haibao, after the number of auctions in the future increases, the number of people and forces who follow him will also increase.In this case, it is even more necessary to act in a low-key manner.

In the previous life, the major salvage companies often sent commercial spies in order to know the situation of their opponents or competitors.For Xu Haibao, such things as killing people and seizing treasures are nothing new in the shipwreck salvage industry.

Some people who are good at tracking and treasure hunting will be followed and followed by their peers.At least for the current Xu Haibao, although he still can't enjoy being followed, he doesn't want too many people to know about his whereabouts.

After looking at the nearby sea, Xu Haibao, who was sure that there was no one there, quickly disappeared on the reef and dived into the sea.Seeing all kinds of marine fish swimming in the reef area, Xu Haibao felt that the fishery resources here were also very scarce.

According to the meaning of the previous boat boss, there are wild grouper activities in this reef area.But after going down to the sea and turning around, Xu Haibao found that the quantity and quality of the grouper here were far inferior to the Echo Rock behind his fishing village.

However, Xu Haibao, who dived into the sea, didn't pay attention to the swimming fish.Its attention is more focused on the mud and sand walking under its feet.From time to time, he used the iron rod in his hand to probe and search in the sand.

This trip to Xiangjiang, Xu Haibao intends to order a metal detector specially used for underwater search.In Xu Haibao's view, it would be easier to search for sunken metals if equipped with an underwater metal detector.

Now using an iron rod to spy on the sediment is naturally not as efficient as using a metal detector!
After wandering around several areas, although Xu Haibao had some gains, he did not find the sunken ship he was looking for.Xu Haibao, who surfaced from time to time to observe the terrain, began to conduct a blanket search in this reef area.

Although this search is time-consuming and laborious, it is not all fruitless.Not long after, feeling that the iron rod had pierced something like wood, Xu Haibao began to dig out the sand and soon found a sunken ship covered by the sand.

When the sunken ship was exposed, Xu Haibao, who did not have professional tools, could only use relatively violent methods to punch a big hole in the ship's plank.Using a diving flashlight, carefully search the contents of the ship.

To Xu Haibao's surprise, there seemed to be a lot of dead bones on the ship. After searching carefully, Xu Haibao even saw a few old bronze cannons.With this discovery, Xu Haibao felt that the sunken ship was probably a warship.

As for why it sank here, it should have been sunk in combat here.After a careful search, only some invaluable porcelain and gold and silver were collected from the ship.This also means that the sunken ship is of little value.

Xu Haibao, who got out of the hull and resurfaced to take a look, found that it was still early.After covering the broken ship hole with sand, they continued to search nearby.Although a little regretful, Xu Haibao didn't feel disappointed.

After all, there are many ancient sunken ships in the ocean, but not every sunken ship is worth salvaging.If the gold, silver and porcelain that were previously collected in the nameless pearl were sold, they could be sold for tens of millions, and the income is not bad!

"Continue! It seems that the location should be correct! If the other party is not bragging, the sunken ship should be nearby!"

Compared with other divers, it is impossible to dive for a long time on the bottom of the sea.With the backing of the nameless pearl, Xu Haibao can move as freely on the seabed as on the ground.Even walking on the bottom of the sea, I don't feel the pressure of sea water at all.

Of course, Xu Haibao knows that pressure has something to do with depth.Based on what he has verified so far, he will also feel some restraint when he dives into the seabed about a thousand meters deep.Like this kind of sea water above [-] meters, you still can't feel the pressure.

And Xu Haibao believes that if he can still achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation, the depth of the sea water he can descend will also increase.In order to truly explore the deep sea one day, Xu Haibao also needs to work harder!
