"Don't say that," Nelson glared at his younger brother. "He is Aisha's collaborator. If there is a conflict on our side, he will definitely not worry about it. The other party will bring it up without hesitation. , it shows that he is a person who does things first and second, and he doesn't like to be muddled. I don't hate working with such people."

"Oh... that's it! The boss Neil is still wise." The younger brother hurriedly responded from the side.

Nelson ignored the other party, just quietly looking in the direction of Steve's departure.

……

The speed of the salvage ship was only 14 knots, and it should have been night by the time it reached the target sea area.According to the plan, after the location is found in the target sea area, the salvage will be carried out at night.

The reason for choosing to salvage at night is that the difficulty of salvage at night will not increase too much.Because the deep sea is originally pitch black, finding the target position in the deep sea for salvage depends not on the light source, but on the compass used for diving.

The advantage is that under the cover of night, salvage will be much safer. Even the deep-sea fleet rarely conducts attacks and patrols at night. This is a practice that sailors have explored.

In the evening, as the sun gradually sank from the sea level, the crew also came out of the lounge and began to prepare for the salvage work at night.

Aisha shouted loudly on the deck with a loudspeaker: "Over there, push the boom!"

"Aren't the ropes, ropes and cages ready?"

"Nelson! Where have you been, Nelson!"

Jack and Steve stood side by side, and they were the most relaxed on the deck.

"Is it okay if you don't help?" Steve asked.

Jack shrugged: "Aisha is worried about me, and I can't help it. My task is to sail the boat, and she won't allow me to intervene in the rest... But you, buddy, are you really going to take this iron helmet into the water? No respirators and oxygen cylinders?"

"No," Steve pulled out a door panel, "I have this."

Jack was speechless, he really didn't understand how to use a door panel for diving... But since the other party insisted on this, maybe there is his way!Jack is not as serious as his sister, and muddle along is the secret of his ability to maintain a good attitude.

Regarding the salvage procedure, the arrangement is as follows.

First of all, divers have to carry oxygen cylinders and walk into a safety cage in a diving suit. This is the only way to protect themselves in case they are attacked by sharks or sea animals underwater.Divers will hook themselves and the cage with ropes to prevent them from finding their way back in the dark deep sea.

After entering the cage, the iron cage and the hook of the crane will hang together and go down at the same time.

When a diver finds something on the bottom that looks worth salvaging, he attaches a hook to that thing, and then pulls a rope next to the hook to indicate which hook to go up.

Divers will go up with the hook and come down together after changing the oxygen cylinder.The two hooks reciprocate until everything within a radius of 400 meters is almost salvaged, or the cabin is full, and then they leave manually.

The process is actually very simple to say, but if it is placed in the sea, it is extremely dangerous.However, the depth of salvage is generally not more than 200 meters, and the water pressure is too high in places that are too deep, and the danger is greatly increased.The water pressure that a metal keel diving suit can withstand is about 200 meters.

So when other people watched Steve walk into the cage wearing a suit of armor, everyone's mood was very delicate.

But since Aisha agreed with him to do this, then he can only agree!

Nelson was also one of the divers. Seeing Steve walking in in mithril armor, he reached out to shake Steve's hand, and then gave a thumbs up to show his admiration.

Amidst the roar of the machinery, the iron cage slowly fell, and the crew members on the ship gave thumbs up to the four divers in the cage plus Steve. This could be regarded as a ritual of salvaging people!

After entering the water, the others looked at the admiral's appearance curiously... because it was probably the first time they had seen a person who dived directly without any diving measures.While Steve was playing with the deep-water flashlight he had just acquired, he caught the eyes of the others and smiled.

...Are you really okay?Nelson tries to communicate with Steve using sign language.

Steve froze for a moment, he understood that the other party wanted to talk to him, but it seemed that there was no way to talk in the water, so he took out the wooden door and put it in the cage, and then walked into this space completely drained of sea water: " What did you say?"

Chapter 81 Searching in the sea [[-]]

Seeing this scene, several divers were a little dumbfounded.

……How did you do it?This is everyone's first reaction.

Nelson stretched his hand into the space where the sea was drained, and found that it was miraculous that his hand passed through. It felt as if his hand penetrated the water... Nelson, who grew up on a boat since he was a child, was the first This is the first time I have seen standing water.

Even so, he still didn't dare to take off his diving suit, just standing in this seemingly safe space like Steve did.But since there is no danger in this space, it should still be possible to speak.

He squeezed to the wooden door, and his attitude became respectful: "That...Mr. Admiral, you are really okay...well, it looks like you are okay too."

"Yeah, it's okay." Steve fiddled with the flashlight, he liked the fact that it glowed in his hand.

"What... is this? Is it magic?" Nelson touched the wooden door very carefully, as if touching some fragile treasure.

"This is a wooden door."

"Uh... I know, it does look like a wooden door," Nelson knocked on the wooden door, "but the door of my house can't do that...Of course, if this is a secret from Mr. Admiral, it's inconvenient for me to ask gone."

Steve tilted his head: "A former friend of mine said that this is a kind of rule. Although I don't understand what a rule is."

"Rules..." Nelson blinked. As an ordinary person, he had no way of understanding the vocabulary involved in this kind of mysticism. "Okay, I won't ask."

The iron cage landed on the seabed in a good spot, a sandy slope.When the cage landed on the sandy seabed, the splashed water pushed the sand away, and the uplifted sand rolled in the sea, with sea creatures such as crabs, shrimps, and sea cucumbers mixed in it.

Nixon used the most powerful flashlight in his hand to confirm that there were no large fishes around, then he opened the pin and instructed others to start searching with sign language.

Steve is a non-staff.

After straightening the chain around his waist, he waved to Nixon and the others, and walked out of the cage by himself.

It feels like time is being slowed down at the bottom of the sea, no matter how you move, you can't get up fast.

There is endless darkness everywhere, as if he has been abandoned by this world, with only a little light source in his hand, he can see the position of the seabed.Only occasionally, when a fish swims past sensitively, can I realize that it is not time that is slow, but myself.

Those who can salvage in such a deep sea must have a strong will... At least, they must not have deep-sea phobia.

Although Steve is much less restricted than ordinary people on the bottom of the sea, he is no better than others in terms of vision.

The seabed I was on seemed to be sloping downwards. The sand on the seabed seemed to have been plowed, with regular uplifts and depressions, which were traces left by the water flow. The sand was illuminated by the flashlight. There is white light under it, and most of the black parts are metal fragments.

Steve walked over and picked up a fragment and held it in his hand.

The fragment looked like a warhead of some kind of ammunition, which also proved that there was indeed fighting in this area.

So he walked casually in this endless darkness alone, picking up a lot of broken things in a hurry.But according to Aisha, being able to pick up ship outfits here is the best harvest, and Steve really wants to pick up some deep-sea ship outfits back...so that he doesn't have to fight Kashima for ship outfits.

But it doesn't seem easy.

This place has obviously been cleaned once, and the more obvious things sunk here have probably been salvaged.As Nelson said, this is gnawing on the bones that others have gnawed on.

If this is the case, then the only thing left is to dig three feet into the ground.

Three feet is one meter, which is exactly the size of a square.

Steve took out his shovel and started digging.Because the helmet is enchanted with underwater quick digging, although the digging speed is a little slower, but digging sand itself is very fast, so it doesn't matter.

Pushing straight forward for 400 meters, Steve looked back and could no longer see the cage, only a thin chain stretched backwards.

It is definitely unrealistic to cut off the 400-meter layer directly, and it will take too long.Steve's method is to dig out fishbone-shaped tunnels, that is, to dig out a 25-meter horizontal tunnel every five meters on this set of longitudinal tunnels.

25 meters to the left, 25 meters to the right, add up to 50 meters.

In this way, if there is something relatively large buried under the sand bed, basically it can be found.Basically, the range of 20000 squares can be searched without omission.

Of course, the actual range is definitely not that big. Don’t say anything, the range of the rope is a circle, and Steve must not be able to dig a 50-meter horizontal road at the farthest point.But even so, the scope and detail of the search are much larger than others... Others are just trying their luck, but Steve is basically doing a blanket search.

Maybe the people who salvaged it before didn't have such crazy methods as him!

Steve quickly unearthed a lot of strange things: broken gun barrels, metal armor, unexploded torpedoes and bombs, these things abound.Although compared with the metal fragments, these should be regarded as good things, but compared to the real good things, these are all rubbish.

Steve's first equipment harvest is the 15.5cm triple gun.

When he got this thing, Steve was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this thing was the equipment of the ship's mother, just like what was installed on Kashima's ship before.After such an obvious harvest, Steve became more motivated. He dug a little longer in this area and found another 15.5cm triple gun, but this one was damaged.

The broken ones were much better than the broken ones, and Steve continued digging vigorously.

After that, the 61cm quadruple torpedo launcher was found, and three were found in a row.

The three harvests are indeed good, but he also found a rather regrettable question.The equipment of the ship girl seems to be independent. In her own inventory, it directly occupies a position and cannot be superimposed. Three 61cm quadruple torpedo launchers occupy three positions, so you can’t take too much away. .

However, the continuous acquisition made Steve overestimate the acquisition rate of seabed equipment. After that, he dug for a long time, but he never dug up similar complete equipment.

More, are some damaged accessories.

Digging, Steve found that his pack had been filled with metal fragments.If you don't want to go up, you can only drop some.Of course Steve didn't want to waste this precious time, so he dug a hole directly and threw all the useless metal fragments down.

However, when he lost it, Steve suddenly realized that he seemed to see a strange thing.

This is a red badge, which looks useless. Although it is made of metal, it is only the size of the palm of your hand.But such a small thing was not counted as metal fragments, but directly occupied the place of one of Steve's backpacks.

Steve shines a flashlight on the metal badge, which turns out to be shiny red.Under the light of the flashlight, Steve didn't see exactly what the symbol meant at first.But if he looked carefully, he noticed that the mark was composed of two tools.

……sickle?

……hammer?

Steve didn't know what the pattern pieced together by the red sickle and hammer meant. In his inventory, there was no explanation for this thing, but two words: Relic.

...What is a relic?

Of course Steve knew the literal meaning of the word, but are other people's relics really useful to him?Steve isn't so sure.But looking at it, a small thing directly occupies a place, and it may be a very important thing.

After thinking about it, Steve decided to keep this thing first.

In the unspoken rules of adventure, a single thing is definitely more valuable than a plurality of things, although this value is probably only a collection value.But it doesn't matter, Steve doesn't care about this loss, after all, he enjoys the process very much now, and he doesn't really care about whether the things he gets should be maximized through careful planning.

After spending half an hour back and forth, Steve basically cleaned up his responsible side.Open the backpack and check it out. I got 3 pieces of damaged ship equipment, various equipment of unknown purpose, and a total of 80 pieces with a completeness of more than 13%.As for the integrity of less than 80%, Steve directly smashed the stack into armor pieces, mechanical parts and gun barrels.

In addition to these, some fuel tanks and ammunition were buried in the sand, probably from the sunken ship!In addition, there were some aircraft fragments. Steve didn't know what to use, but the amount was quite large, so he brought back a little more.

Steve returned to the cage with a full load, only to find that the others hadn't returned yet.

Just when he was thinking about whether to go up by himself first, suddenly there was a sound of clang, clang, clang in the quiet deep sea.That voice was extraordinarily clear in the complete silence, coming from far and near.

Just when Steve didn't understand what this thing was coming from.

Before the salvage operation was completed, the cage with no one inside shook suddenly, and then began to rise.

Only then did Steve remember what Aisha had said before:

"...If there is an emergency, I will forcibly drag everyone up, although the ship may have begun to sink by the time it is pulled up."

ps: That relic is related to the ship girl summoned first, everyone guess who it is, I think it should be easier to guess.

Chapter 82 Searching in the Sea [Part [-]]

As the only diver who returned in time, Steve didn't know what happened. He could only stay in the cage and let the rope pull him up.

As soon as the cage came out of the water, Steve heard someone shouting on the deck of the salvage boat: "Quick! Pull it up quickly! After pulling it up, immediately start evading!"

"What's wrong?" Steve asked puzzled on the cage.

Seeing Steve being pulled up, several crew members froze for a moment, "Boss Jack! Come up alone!"

"Come up one? Well, well, one up is one. Don't be dazed, get the rope quickly." At this moment, he saw Jack running over from the other side of the deck, and seeing Steve coming down from the cage, he A little surprised, "It really is you! I said that Neil and the others should not come up so soon."

"What's going on?" Steve didn't know why the people on the boat were so flustered.

"We found the sonar signal." Jack's tone was sharp.

"Sonar?" Steve tilted his head.

"It's the sound that the submarine uses to detect ships. We have been captured by the other party's sonar." Jack's face is very bad. "The other party's active sonar means that they are locking on to something. Now we don't know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend."

The so-called sonar is a device that uses sound waves to detect the seabed.

There are two types of sonar, one is passive sonar, also known as hydrophone, which listens to the sound of the surrounding sea area when one's own side does not make a sound.This sonar is relatively stealthy;

The other is active sonar. Active sonar will actively send out sound waves to "slap" the area where the opponent is located to determine the exact location of the opponent. Generally speaking, when a ship finds that it has been "photographed", that is to say, The opponent is locking himself and preparing to attack.

But Steve is still not very clear about this knowledge.

"The sound of the submarine?" Steve recalled what he heard, the bang, bang, bang, and pointed to the northwest direction, "You said it was the sound from there?"

"You heard that too?"

"Yeah! It's right there, bang, bang, bang, very loud." Steve said seriously, "So, what's the situation now?"

It's incredible to Jack that Steve still doesn't understand the situation.But since he is a key person, there is no time to blame him at this critical moment, so we can only explain the situation to him as soon as possible: "There is a submarine near us, do you understand? It's a hell, although I don't know it's from the deep sea The submarine is still the mother of other fleets, in short, there are submarines around us, if the other party is not happy, they can kill us with a torpedo."

Steve still knows what a torpedo is, even though he just learned it underwater.He thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion: "So...then their target should not be us!"

Steve looked quite calm, and Jack couldn't figure out whether the other party was a layman or an expert, "Yes... Aisha said the same. If the other party's target was us, we would have been sunk by now. Their active sonar is probably strafing something else, and we should be the loudest sound source in this area right now, so it's likely to be used as a shield."

"Shield? Does that mean there's more than one submarine?"

"Yes, that's what Aisha said," Jack's tone was very frustrated, "so we can't do anything now, we can only pull you up first, and then turn off all the machines... If you are unlucky, there is really If they feel that the submarine they are looking for is on our side, then we will have to abandon the ship and escape."

At this moment, Aisha shouted from a distance, "Over there, don't just stand there, come and help rescue the lifeboat!"

"Oh! Come here!" Jack agreed, and patted Steve on the shoulder, "Well... Actually, I thought you should have a way... Oh well... Anyway, you are so watery If it’s good, it’s best to help get those boys up.”
