Chapter 429
The cargo carried in Bailangwan is not light, and the hull itself is also very large. It is absolutely not enough to pump air into the cargo hold with an air duct.

Hei Qi had analyzed before that the three air ducts pumping air at the same time is already the lowest limit, if there is one less, Bailang Wan would not be able to float to the surface of the sea, so now it is necessary to send someone down to the sea again, insert another Two air ducts.

But no matter what Hei Qi said, no sailor stood up. After all, everyone saw the tragic death of the diver before, and no one wanted to risk his life for this matter.

Seeing that no one volunteered to go into the water, Liu Cong immediately made a decisive decision and proposed an additional price that was jaw-dropping.When the sailors around heard the price, their eyes lit up, but then the light in these people's eyes dimmed again, and no one stood up.

Sailors can be said to be one of the most difficult professions, drifting on the sea all year round, exposed to the wind and the sun, and also worrying about some dangerous emergencies such as storms, maybe they will lose their lives at any time. It can be said that the profession of sailor itself They are exchanging their lives for money.

It is certainly possible to exchange your life for money, but there is one biggest prerequisite, that is, you have to spend money with your life. Now that you know that you will never return when you go into the water, no matter how high Liu Cong raises the price, these people They also definitely won't go.

"Let me go!" These three words seemed to be the dawn in the darkness, illuminating Liu Cong's heart at once. He turned his head hastily, but was surprised to find that the person who said these words was Chen Ziyang .

When Liu Cong was looking for someone to go into the water just now, Chen Ziyang had been observing the dead diver.In addition to the soul being sucked away, the diver was obviously shriveled a lot. Although he didn't turn into a mummy, the essence and blood in his body had been sucked clean.

And the weirdest thing is that the deep-sea diving suit is not even damaged at all, so where did the sucked blood come from?He couldn't figure it out.

Recalling the screams of more than 1000 passengers recorded in the data when the Bailang Pill sank, and looking at the miserable appearance of the divers in front of him, Chen Ziyang knew that the organ coffin was very evil, and it was not something ordinary people could handle. Ordinary people should go to one and be sucked dry. At this time, they can only do it themselves.

Seeing that Chen Ziyang was willing to step forward, Liu Cong was naturally very happy. As Chen Ziyang, a master of Maoshan, he should be able to deal with evil things in the water, but then Liu Cong thought about it, but shook his head. Shake your head.

"Brother, I am very grateful that you can come forward, but I don't think it is appropriate. You have not been trained. Wearing a deep-sea diving suit and going down into the water is different from what you usually do on the shore. There is no way to display it.

Moreover, you have never done such things as underwater operations. The water pressure is very high in such a deep water, and it is very difficult to move even if you want to move. So I think it's inappropriate for you to go there. It adds a lot of risks for no reason, and you may not be able to gain anything.

I know you want to go down to see if you can deal with that evil thing, but this is really not something you can do within the scope of your ability. here. "

Liu Cong's analysis is not unreasonable. The current underwater situation is unclear, and it seems very unusual. If Chen Ziyang is allowed to go down at this time, not only may he not be able to complete the task, but it is very likely that he will encounter danger. This was something Liu Cong didn't want to see. Even though he was very anxious, he was not dazzled by Chen Ziyang's proposal at this time.

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way." Hei Qi, who was standing aside, heard that Chen Ziyang wanted to go into the water, and hurriedly stood up and said.

"In fact, it is not that difficult to go into the water wearing a deep-sea diving suit. If you want to move, you can borrow a one-man submarine, and wearing a deep-sea diving suit underwater is no different from that on land. There are also very important points to pay attention to. No, as long as you pay a little attention, even untrained people can move freely underwater, but at a slightly slower speed."

It's a joke, it's rare that someone volunteers to go into the water, and Hei Qi doesn't want to miss the opportunity.If the salvage operation was unsuccessful because no one dared to go into the water, his huge expense would be wasted, which was the last thing Hei Qi wanted to see.

Although it was for the purpose of earning profit, what Hei Qi said was true.There are relatively few technical essentials to be mastered when wearing a deep-sea diving suit. As long as you follow the essentials, even people who have never been in the water can complete some simple operations underwater. After all, one of the biggest advantages of a deep-sea diving suit is Breathing is very smooth underwater, but a little stuffy.

Hearing what Hei Qi said, Liu Cong showed displeasure on his face. He understood that the reason why Hei Qi said this was because he was afraid that his reward would be wasted.Although Hei Qi's idea is understandable out of the consideration of a businessman, he should not let his brother take risks.

Seeing Liu Cong's expression, Chen Ziyang understood his thoughts, smiled and said: "Liu Cong, don't worry, although I may not be able to complete the task, nor may I be able to deal with the evil things in the boat, but Self-preservation is still a little sure.

Besides, if I don't go at this time, no one will go. Eliminating demons and defending Taoism is what we Taoists should do. How can these ordinary people take risks again? You also hope to get the iron book as soon as possible.

I know you are doing it for my own good, so how about this, I will put on the deep-sea diving suit first, go down to the sea for a try, if it is really inconvenient to move, I will not force it, if it is like what Hei Qi said , if a deep-sea diving suit can be used even by people without professional training, I think I can give it a try. "

Liu Cong thought for a while, and reluctantly agreed. There was really no other way out.Just like what Chen Ziyang said, if he doesn't go, there will really be no one left. Besides, getting the iron book is more important than anything else, so we can only try it first. If we really can't do it, think again It's not too late to do anything else.

Hei Qi pulled over several sailors, three or four surrounded Chen Ziyang, helped him put on the heavy deep-sea diving suit, and explained the essentials to him.

Before putting on the deep-sea diving suit, Chen Ziyang was still thinking that the helmet of this suit was so big that it must be very tiring to wear, but when he actually put it on, he realized that the heaviest part of the deep-sea diving suit was not Not a helmet, but iron boots on his feet and brass gloves on his hands.

After thinking about it, he figured out the reason.The reason why the deep-sea diving suit is so heavy is that apart from the need for a very strong shell to resist the huge water pressure, it is also very important to stabilize the center of gravity of the diver in the deep sea.

The bulky clothes and helmets are naturally made of a lot of materials. In this way, divers are prone to top-heavy situations after entering the water. Not too easy, and the heavy iron shoes make up for it.

After a few tentative activities, Chen Ziyang asked Hei Qi and the others to put him into the sea to adapt to the diving suit in the sea.In fact, as Hei Qi said, there are not many essentials to pay attention to when wearing a deep-sea diving suit. The most important point is to move slowly when in the water.

While getting used to the diving suit, Chen Ziyang carefully followed the action essentials that Hei Qi and others said. After 20 minutes, he gave Yang Lei and Umbrella Shi Shuai a thumbs up, and then dived alone. With the help of the boat, he slowly swam to the deep sea.

It is said to be a one-man submarine, but it is actually an underwater booster.This booster is somewhat like a small missile, with a huge searchlight in front and a propeller at the rear. The person using the booster only needs to hold it firmly with one hand and press the button on it to boost The device will pull the diver to advance quickly underwater.

Because of wearing this sea diving suit, Chen Ziyang didn't bring his magic weapon, even if he did, he couldn't use it at all. The thick copper gloves felt very bad, and he couldn't use the magic weapon at all. Ming ancient sword.But just in case, he still tied the soul-relief paperweight to the diving suit, which is also the only magic weapon that can be used underwater.

Under the light of the searchlight, three black air ducts lined up side by side guide the way forward.Holding the booster in one hand, Chen Ziyang gently supported the three air ducts with the other, and slowly swam along the air ducts to the place where the Bailang pill sank.

quiet!This is what Chen Ziyang felt after going down to the sea. Although the voices of Liu Cong and others kept coming from the earphones, although he could hear his own breathing and the sound of the propeller turning on the booster, all these Chen Ziyang still felt very quiet, very quiet.

This kind of stillness is a kind of feeling from the soul. Under this feeling, Chen Ziyang felt his heart itch.

The further you go into the sea, the darker the surrounding light becomes, but it's not so dark yet, which may have something to do with the fact that the water depth is not too deep.

At the same time, I don’t know if it was because of the series of weird noises before. The surrounding sea water is very turbid. Under the beam of light from the searchlight, you can see a lot of impurities floating in the sea. With the rotation of the propeller on the booster, moving.

Everything else is fine, the only thing Chen Ziyang finds most awkward is that the round holes on the helmet of the deep-sea diving suit are too small, and the vision is very bad, and sometimes he even has to rotate himself The way of the neck is used to forcibly change the angle so that you can see yourself more clearly.

After a while, a hazy shadow appeared in the distance. This shadow looked a bit like the bow of a ship. The three air ducts pointed straight to the outline of the ship. Chen Ziyang knew that the one ahead should be Bailang. When the pill was taken, he cheered up.

The closer you get to Bailangwan, the more impurities are floating around, and even a lot of impurities look like sediment on the seabed. Recalling the vibration that the dead diver said, Chen Ziyang estimated that the sediment It was floated up during the previous shock.

After getting closer, Chen Ziyang finally had a chance to see the face of the shipwreck.The exposed parts of the ship's shell have been covered by sand and some marine life, and the original appearance of Bailang Wan cannot be seen at all.Only the remaining iron railings on the uppermost part of the ship let him know that it was indeed a sunken ship.

The three air guide tubes are separated here, and the middle one extends straight into the inside of Bailang Wan through a hole on the ship. The other two air guide tubes have been coiled together by the previous divers and placed on the left and right sides respectively. side seabed.

After turning off the propeller of the booster, Chen Ziyang held the booster and shook it from side to side, letting the beam of light sweep back and forth on the ship.

When he went into the water before, Hei Qi had already told Chen Ziyang where the two air ducts needed to be placed. Now he just needed to find the location for the air ducts according to Hei Qi's description.

After seeing a breach at the bottom of the ship and a square valve with a gap opened not far away, Chen Ziyang grabbed an air duct and walked towards the valve.

It should be said that the diver who died did a very good job, and the airway was placed very smoothly by him.Chen Ziyang grasped the tip of the airway, so he didn't need to spend effort to straighten it out, and he didn't have to worry about the airway getting entangled, which saved him a lot of trouble.

When he got close to the valve, Chen Ziyang took a photo inside with a searchlight, but he couldn't see anything except marine life and sand, so he inserted the air duct into it.

There is a manual wheel at the end of the airway tube. By shaking the handle above, the two wheels engaged on both sides of the airway tube will rotate in opposite directions, which will allow the airway tube to stretch forward by itself. Even if the airway is not too hard, it can be inserted forward for a long time with the help of this wheel.

The second airway was inserted in this way without any risk. During this process, Chen Ziyang was always vigilant. Fortunately, nothing weird happened.

However, he felt in his heart that it was like the calm before the storm, and the tall ship in front of him was like a sleeping monster, who might wake up at any time.

Picking up the third air duct, Chen Ziyang walked towards a breach in the lower part of the hull. When he inserted the third air duct into the cabin, suddenly a strange sound came from the breach in front of him. issue.

This sound caused the surrounding sea water to shake, and even Chen Ziyang felt that his heavy deep-sea diving suit also shook along with it.

"not good!"
