Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Finding the Seabed Container

Early the next morning, when I arrived at the pier, Maus and the others had already arrived, carrying a large number of diving equipment.I remember that Uncle Maus once said to me that a good diver always only trusts his diving equipment, so that the possibility of making mistakes in the sea can be minimized, and in the sea, what kind of unexpected Mistakes can happen. After I met them, I first introduced the situation of the "Brothers and Sisters" in the simplest way, and the three of them were dumbfounded.I told them: "This boat was borrowed entirely on the basis of my personal relationship. I hope you don't ask too many questions. Also, I guess the two crew members on the boat are not ordinary people. Don't offend them."

Mao Si repeatedly said: "How come? How come? It's really great to have such help." While speaking, Chen Luo arrived in a speedboat and took us aboard the "Brothers and Sisters". Then, Li Ping came over and asked where the destination was. I looked at Maos, and Maos hesitated before saying, "At the mouth of the Yangtze River, the detailed and correct location is here." As he spoke, he opened a folder, uncovered a stack of charts, and pointed to one of them. I also looked at it, and saw that what he was pointing at was the middle of the two stones I mentioned that day. No wonder he jumped up in surprise when I mentioned it that day.

At this time, Mao Si also raised his head and glanced at me: "Mr. Wei, your estimation is not bad at all." I smiled lightly, "If it's an ambush at sea, this is an ideal location. Guessing this, it's nothing special." Chen Luo and Li Ping looked at the chart for a while, then looked at each other, Chen Luo said: "Let's set sail first, and at night, this ship can take off on the sea, so it will save time." When I told Maus and half and half that my borrowed boat could take off on the water and reach the speed of ordinary jets, all three of them obviously had a weird look of disbelief.

At this time, although the boat hadn't flown yet, they nodded their heads again and again, no longer expressing their disbelief. After hesitating for a while, Mao Si left the chart in the cab. Chen Luo obviously saw his uneasy expression, so he said coldly: "You can take it back. I have been sailing for a long time. Any chart that passes me If you stare at him for a minute, you will never forget." Maus was a little embarrassed, and said, "Where! Where! I have nothing to worry about." Li Ping had already sailed out in the boat. Not long after we got out of the sea, the speed of the boat was quite high. I was riding the wind and waves. I stayed on the deck, drinking wine, very comfortable, and took the time to think about the whole thing from the beginning to the end. , I just feel that the bizarreness of the matter has really reached the extreme.The only person in the world who can thoroughly expose the truth of the whole thing is that "hundred-year-old demon" Liu Gensheng.

Where is Liu Gensheng?He should be in Shanghai, but Hasan couldn't find him. When the sky was getting dark and the land was no longer visible, Li Ping came over and stood beside me for a while. Under the dim light, his young face looked very handsome, and he seemed to have made up his mind. He asked calmly: "Mr. Wei, maybe I shouldn't ask, but I heard that you are related to many strange things. What we are going to do this time is also a strange thing?" I blurted out: "Not only is it a strange thing, but it's extremely strange." Li Ping looked like he wanted to know, I thought about it, and it was too complicated to tell him the whole thing, so I just picked up the part about the container and described it to him, telling him the function of the strange container, He also told him that the same container was found at the bottom of the sea, and we went this time to fish out the same container.

Just this passage alone made Li Ping sigh and rub his hands constantly, his expression extremely excited, and he said repeatedly: "It's really great to be able to participate in such a strange event with Mr. Wei." I laughed, "You can work on this ship, of course you have encountered many strange things." Before Li Ping could speak, I suddenly heard Maos's voice behind me. He looked very unhappy: "Mr. Wei, so you already knew what that big box was." Not long after Li Ping and I started to narrate, I heard footsteps behind me, and I knew it must be Maos and the others. I thought, sooner or later, I would have to tell him what the container was. Listen, don't say it again.

Maus must have been of such a deep character that he waited until I had finished before protesting. I looked back at him and saw his dissatisfied expression: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" I smiled: "Say it sooner or later, I don't think there is any difference. This container can bring you huge benefits, but if you have it, it will be of no use at all." Maus took a step forward: "How can you say that? This is what I found, the right place, and only I know it." I stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I know, you still keep the real location, and haven't said it yet. Let me ask you, when you found those sunken ships, you must have thought of , I will make a fortune, won't I?"

Maus asked with a snort, "Everybody thinks that way." I laughed: "How much is your dream windfall?" Maus was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Ten million." After he said that, seeing that I was not surprised at all, he added very cunningly: "Of course I mean US dollars." I laughed out loud. "Mr. Mouse, you mean dollars? I disagree with you." Hearing this, he blushed immediately. I pointed to the tip of his nose. "I mean pounds." When he heard it, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, making a "cracking" sound from his throat. It's Mr. Hassan, and of course I can't afford ten million pounds, but that's nothing to Mr. Hassan."

Maos swallowed his saliva, but there is no limit to human greed, he suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Perhaps, the things in the container are worth more than ten million pounds, then... I am not at a disadvantage." I coldly told him what happened when we opened the first container, and then said: "You can try to keep that container, I even asked for my share." Maos looked uncertain, and obviously didn’t know what to do. I didn’t have much affection for Maos from the beginning, and this night I even felt disgusted, so I stopped paying attention to him and asked Li Ping, “We can take off. gone?"

Li Ping smiled: "You can do it anytime, please go to the take-off cabin." Li Ping and I walked away, and Maos hurriedly followed. After a while, the majority and the small half also came. There are more than 20 seats in the take-off cabin. After sitting down, there is a hoop to fix people in The seat was obviously designed to prevent vibration during takeoff, but in fact, it was very stable during takeoff, more stable than ordinary jets. After takeoff, Chen Luo's voice came: "You can release the safety buckle, but after taking off During the flight, it is best to stay in your seat. We estimate the flight time to be two and a half hours - we will land earlier, maintain the sea surface and sail to an appropriate distance, and then dive into the sea. In the sea, you can dive through the pipeline. "

I agreed, squinted at Maos, and said loudly on purpose: "With ten million pounds, how do you three divide them?" Before Maos could respond, the majority and the small half yelled strangely after being stunned for a while: "Ten million pounds? Where did it come from?" I pointed to Maos, and asked more and more questions, and he explained the situation again. The two brothers cheered loudly, but Maos still looked very ugly. I looked at him: "If you disagree, just bring it up." "I don't agree," said Maus loudly. I've known for a long time that he would answer like this, so it's not surprising at all, most of them sweated in fright: "You don't agree? Then...how much do you want? Want...how?" Mao Si's expression was even more gloomy: "I don't know yet, I discovered this...thing, and I have the greatest right to dispose of it." I spread my hands: "Whatever you want, I promise to go with you to salvage the container, and I will definitely fulfill my promise." Maus looked at me with an expression of disbelief, and I made a gesture to him: "But you have to be careful! When you find that you have got that big box, it is useless at all, and you come to me again, its value will not be worth it. It's only one ten-thousandth, a thousand pounds!" Maus turned his head, I have a way to deal with him, and, in order to punish his greed, I have planned to deal with him.Maus naturally heard the determination in my tone, he still remained silent, I sneered: "You can think about it slowly until the container is loaded onto the ship." Maos still didn’t make a sound, and I didn’t discuss with him any further. I only heard the majority and the small half chattering non-stop, and I suddenly laughed: “Mr. , the proportion is larger than yours, and even a small number of your objections will be invalid.” Maus said fiercely, "They must listen to me." I didn't say anything, I closed my eyes and rested my mind. When the flight was over and the ship started sailing on the sea again, Chen Luo and Li Ping took turns to talk and drink with me, and Mao Si remained silent. When it was 60 kilometers away from the mouth of the Yangtze River, the "Brothers and Sisters" dived into the water, and Maos was invited to the cockpit to tell Li Ping, who was in charge of the pilot, the exact location where he found the sunken ship. About an hour later, through the observation cabin in the cockpit, we saw the scene of the sunken ship under the powerful searchlight.The situation was the same as what Maos had described. At this moment, Maos became very excited: "These ships have been on the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years before I discovered them." I corrected him coldly: "Less than a hundred years." Maus emphasized that "no matter how many years, if I didn't discover them, they will always lie on the bottom of the sea." I laughed and said, "I agree, so everything you find belongs to you, and I will be responsible for helping you salvage it, and I will not take any money." Mao Qi blinked hard, unable to understand the real meaning of my words, but the real meaning of my two sentences was to give him the complete ownership of the container, so he naturally couldn't figure out other meanings. The boat came to a standstill, and Maos and I prepared to dive. The majority and the other half also participated. Li Ping offered to participate, saying: "I am also a very qualified diver." We entered a water-tight cabin, put in seawater first, and waited until the water-tight cabin was completely filled with seawater to balance the pressure of the seawater, and then a door opened slowly. At this moment, Maos played his With first-rate diving skills, I swam out first. I, half and half, and Li Pinglu were behind. After a while, I swam to the deck of the iron-clad ship. I saw the container, an iron chain tied to the deck. column. The original function of the iron pillar was to tie the cables, so it can be seen that the container is not the original thing on this ship. What I thought at the time was: since Mr. Hassan can scoop up such a strange container from the sea, this ship can naturally scoop up such a container from the sea. After picking up the container, of course the people on board didn't know what it was and couldn't open it, so they tied it to the deck temporarily.Until the naval battle broke out and the ship sank, the container naturally followed to the bottom of the sea. A few of us walked around the container, and Maus had directed half and half to use a seabed welder to blow off the iron chains that bound the container. When they did this, I didn’t feel What's wrong, because in terms of feeling, that container is extremely heavy-I once lifted another big cruise ship off, and I know its weight. I forgot that Hassan found it on the surface of the sea. The iron chains binding the container were already very rotten, and would break when burned. The moment the chain was broken, the container suddenly floated up from the water, creating a very strong vortex. There are many reefs in the sea area in that area, and the undercurrents in the sea are very numerous and very strong. When we swim over, we have to fight against the undercurrents to move forward in the direction. At this time, the huge container suddenly floated up and brought The vortex caused the bodies of the few people in the sea to roll, and they couldn't control themselves for a while. After digging out several meters, I watched the container float towards the surface of the sea. Before diving, the depth of the sea we detected was close to 700 meters. The rising speed of the container was very fast, and it was absolutely impossible for a person to dive in the deep sea. , who rose to the surface of the sea at such a fast speed, the few people in the sea knew this deeply, so even though they were in a hurry, there was nothing they could do. In order to avoid being discovered, we salvage the sunken ship at night, so when the container floats out of the range of the searchlight, it can no longer be seen. Everything was only a matter of ten seconds, until the container was gone, Li Ping swam to my side, and made a gesture to Xiang Xun, indicating that we should swim back first, but Maos was desperate at this time, with a considerable amount of water. Going up at a high speed, he obviously wants to use his rich diving experience to rise to the surface in the shortest time possible! It would be extremely dangerous for him to do so, so most of them and Xiao Ban held him back together. When Li Ping and I reached his side, we could still see that his face was twisted and he was struggling hard.I almost wanted to punch him unconscious, but he stopped struggling when he saw that he couldn't beat the four of us. After a while, we returned to the watertight cabin, and when the sea water was pumped out, and when the head could be exposed, he shouted urgently: "What should we do? The current in this area is quite strong, and the sea is full of backflow. How could the big box float?" Woke up? Oh, I don’t know where it went.” Li Ping was very calm: "It doesn't matter, this ship has the best tracking equipment, and Chen Luo has been watching us, so he can naturally know where the container floated after it floated to the surface." After hearing this, Maus took a breath and said nothing more.After the sea water was drained, we heard Chen Luo's voice as soon as we got out of the water-tight compartment: "A rather large object floated to the surface of the sea and drifted eastward with the current. Is that an important object?" After hearing this, Maus let out a sigh of relief, wanting to look at me but not daring to look at me.I smiled: "No matter how difficult the process of salvaging that thing is, I will keep my promise." Mao Si didn't say anything, and after a while, we entered the cockpit, and Chen Luo had raised the boat to the surface of the water. He pointed to a bright spot on the screen: "This is the target, computer analysis, I don't even know what it is nature of the metal." Only then did I really know how advanced the equipment of the "Brothers and Sisters" was, and it was possible to conduct computer analysis immediately based on the detection results. I glanced at Li Ping, feeling very strange, because from what Chen Luo said, he seemed to have no idea of ​​the ins and outs of the container, and I had told him about it! As soon as Li Ping saw me looking at him, he immediately understood what I meant, and he smiled: "You didn't tell me that I can relay what you said." I sighed, Li Ping was right to do so, and it was because there were so few people with such integrity that it surprised me, so I briefly introduced the container again. When I finished speaking, the ship had completely risen to the surface of the sea, and the detector showed that the container was only 300 meters away. At this time, we never thought of any accidents, because the distance of 300 meters is within reach. Come on, it's easy. When we came to the deck, we were all dumbfounded and couldn't make a sound. We saw a patrol boat on the sea, only 200 meters away from us, using strong searchlights to illuminate the sea surface. Within the irradiated range, the container was floating and sinking on the sea surface. And the soldiers on the patrol boat had obviously discovered the container and were yelling and pointing. Seeing this situation, Maus first let out a scream and looked at me.Although I know that the "Brothers and Sisters" can easily destroy this patrol boat, but of course I think it can't be done. Moreover, I am very glad that we were not spotted by this patrol boat when we rose to the surface, otherwise, I really don't know how to explain it, I'm afraid there will be a small naval battle. I didn't make a sound for a while, and Maos asked in a hoarse voice: "What should I do?" I asked him back: "Do you have friendship with the commander of the East China Sea Fleet?" Maus knew I was saying there was no other way, and he put his head in his hands, extremely frustrated.At this time, what I thought was: "What will happen if this container falls into the hands of the navy? Can they open it? If they open it, what will happen?" And at this moment, the officers and soldiers on the patrol boat also found us, and Li Ping asked quickly, "Should we run away immediately, or run away after grabbing that thing?" Li Ping asked very rationally. If it was Wen Baoyu who caused trouble, he would definitely ask, "Should I rush over and fire?" I asked: "Is there a chance to snatch it and then escape?" Li Ping nodded, "Yes, this ship is fast, and they can't catch up. As long as we move fast, I think it will be fine." I took a breath: "Then please proceed immediately." Li Ping made a gesture: "Everyone go to the cockpit." When we entered the cockpit, the communication equipment had received a warning from the patrol boat: "The owner of the ship indicated the unit to which he belongs, please indicate the unit to which he belongs immediately." Li Ping had already told Chen Luo about our decision quickly. Chen Luo smiled, very humorous, and calm in the face of danger: "I don't know what unit this ship belongs to." As he spoke, he called out, "Sit still." With his call, the speed of the boat increased suddenly. The sea water stirred up by the bow was thirty meters high, forming a violent fountain. As it approached the patrol boat, the sea water stirred up rushed towards the patrol boat. Patrol boat, causing chaos on the deck of the patrol boat.But at this moment, the boat was already close to the container, and the surging waves pushed the container upwards. In the turbulent sea waves, two bars were seen protruding from the bow. A huge mechanical arm clamped the container at once, and moved the container to the deck without slowing down. The whole process took no more than three minutes, and the "Brothers and Sisters" had completed its mission, turned around, and left at high speed. However, the response of the patrol boat was not slow. The gunfire sounded, and the first few shells fell behind the "Brothers and Sisters", only 20 meters away—that is, if the action was delayed by ten seconds In eight seconds, you will be hit by a shell. However, the second shell was already more than 100 meters away from the ship, and the third shell had no threat at all.The high-speed flight lasted for an hour before gradually slowing down. Chen Luo said in a very embarrassing way: "Then...the thing is too heavy, adding so much weight, it cannot take off, and it is not suitable for diving." I laughed: "Anyway, we have reached the high seas, so let's sail slowly." At this time, just at midnight, the moon was white and the wind was clear, the sea was very calm, and after the speed returned to normal, we went to the deck together to inspect the container. Except for me who had seen the same container, other people were very curious. Most and half kept pulling on the door, trying to open it, but of course they were unsuccessful. I reached out and patted the container a few times: "There may be a person inside." Although I have heard me talk about the situation of this container, but after hearing me say this, everyone still has a very strange look on their faces.The majority and the small half asked in unison: "Who could it be?" My answer was: "It could be anyone." My answer at that time was very reasonable, because indeed it could be anyone, but at that time, I never thought that there would be someone in the container, and this person should not be included in the list of "anyone". The container has been successfully obtained, and Maos stood close to the container. I ignored him, and Chen Luo and Li Ping looked at it for a while before returning to the cockpit. The container was still fixed on the deck by two mechanical arms. superior.I told Li Ping and Chen Luo more information about the container, and they were amazed. The flight time was less than three hours, but it took two days for the ship to sail. On the second day, Maos came to me hesitantly and said, "Health first, is your proposal still valid?" I gave him a cold look: "Don't force yourself to accept conditions you don't want to accept!" Maus's expression was extremely greedy. Originally, he was not ugly with red hair, but at this moment, his face was covered with a layer of dirty oil, and his eyeballs were spinning around like a frightened spider. He was very ugly. He got closer to me, if I didn't want to hear what he said, I would have pushed him away without hesitation. He said in a ghostly voice: "You know, Mr. Wei, even ten million pounds is nothing." His tone is so loud, it is naturally more disgusting, but then, the example he gave is quite convincing, showing the relationship between money and numbers in this era, he said: "A painting, It can be sold for nearly 50 million U.S. dollars, and a piece of porcelain can also be worth more than 10 million U.S. dollars, and 10 million pounds is really nothing." I had to answer him coldly: "I didn't know you were a work of art. collectors." He continued: "Even if, as you said, the box is just a container, like...a spaceship? This is my imagination, then...it is worth enough in itself. The value of the spaceship's flying tools is appalling... The cost of each American shuttle is 1.2 billion U.S. dollars." I laughed out loud, this man is so obsessed with money, he probably thought he would sell this container to the U.S. Department of Defense, or the Soviet Union Defense agencies that can be sold for a good price? When he continued to look at me with very greedy eyes after he said that, I had already decided that if I opened the container, I would follow what Liu Gensheng did in that factory in France and remove the power unit. No matter which military force this container falls into, it can cause catastrophe. I laughed dryly: "You can sell it to the governments of various countries. I suggest you go to the governments of Arab countries. They don't need any parliamentary approval to spend money, and they have too much money, and there is nowhere to spend it." Maos this time, I finally realized that I was mocking him, his face turned blue and red, and after a while, as if he couldn't hold it anymore, he said: "I get 100 million pounds, half or half, you can give it to me, This container is... yours." Hearing what he said, I couldn't even get angry, I just smiled very tiredly: "You can go ahead." Anyone whose greed can't be satisfied will have a ruthless spirit. He gritted his teeth and muttered for a while, but I didn't bother to listen to him at all, and walked away on my own. At this time, I have already made a decision. As soon as the ship docks, use the carrying equipment on the "Brothers and Sisters" to get the container ashore. Then host the auction right there on the pier—because I don't think he's even capable of transporting that container. The only thing to worry about is that Hassan will be eager to get his hands on knowing that there is another such container. Then, Maos will have the opportunity to rip off.Although Hasan is a shrewd person, he doesn't care about things, and if he cares about things, he will mess up.The matter is related to his life experience. If there is hope to remedy the regrets of his life, he will not pay any price.I regretted telling him about Hassan, and I had to think of a way to remedy it. When it got dark, Chen Luo and Li Ping and I had a sumptuous dinner together, talked for a while, drank some wine, and got ready to sleep. I like to listen to the sound of the bow breaking through the sea, Therefore, a circular window in the cabin was half opened. The diameter of the window is about 30 centimeters, and the window faces the port side of the ship. If you lean up, you can see the cold moonlight and the sparkling water waves created by the calm water surface. I was lying on the comfortable bed, amidst the regular sound of the waves, trying to fall asleep, when all of a sudden, I opened my eyes wide. At this moment, I didn't really know what was going on at all. The reason why I woke up was that many years of adventure life gave me a very strange feeling that something had happened. I opened my eyes, there was no light in the cabin, it was very dark, I didn’t move at all, I kept my original posture—it’s best to stay the same when I haven’t figured out what happened Method. Therefore, what I can see is only a corner of the cabin, and there is nothing unusual in the range of sight. And at this moment, I already knew what happened. Because for a split second, as soon as I opened my eyes, I held my breath, so I heard another person's breathing coming from my left side. I was also at once certain that the man had not come into the cabin, but was just peering at me with his face close to half a dozen of my windows. I have to half turn my head if I want to see who this person is.My first thought was that this man must be Maus, and I was ready to turn my head at once and shout at him. But in a flash, I suddenly thought, if this person is not Maos, then who is he?What purpose does he come to spy on me in the middle of the night?Of course he had to figure it out, he turned his head too fast, and if he was scared away all of a sudden, he might not even be able to see who he was, because since his face was close to the window, he must be facing away from the light. So, instead of turning my head away, I just try to move my eyeballs to the left as much as possible. I have received this kind of "squint" training. People who have received this kind of training can see angles that ordinary people cannot see through the movement of their eyeballs. . At this time, I can't see the window just by moving my eyes to the left, but I can achieve my goal by turning my head slightly. Even if the person outside the window is staring at me, it is not easy to notice this kind of small movement. Later, when I thought about it, I felt a little ashamed.Because in an instant, my mind turned, and when I was thinking about who was outside the window, I actually thought that it might be Chen Luo or Li Ping. There were only six people in the boat, and I was lying on the bed without an avatar.It can't be the majority and the small half, they are both stupid - one advantage of all stupid people is that they don't know how to be ghostly, and they rarely have both. Most likely it was Mao Si, and the reason why I didn't turn my head away immediately was because I thought: If it wasn't Mao Si, then it would be Chen Luo or Li Ping. The reason why I have such an idea is because Chen and Li are Yun Sifeng's subordinates. I always feel that although Yun Sifeng tries his best to help, he is always very mysterious. Brother Yun and Sister Mulanhua, they must be there Engaged in a very secret job - Bai Su may know something, but he didn't intend to tell me, this is the reason for my disgust. So, could it be that Chen and Li are on the boat, and they also have the task of spying on my actions? At the time, when I thought about it, it wasn't too much, but after thinking about it, I always felt a little ashamed: I didn't believe people so much. Leaving gossip aside, at that time, I shifted my head very carefully, and since my eyeballs had already moved as much as possible, I could already see the window. As I expected, there was a human face leaning against the window, looking at me.And because the window is not very big, that person's face almost occupies the entire space of the window, with the backlight, I can't see who he is. At this time, I also knew the reason why I suddenly woke up, because I only opened the window halfway, but at this time, the window was completely pushed open. It must have been when the man pushed the window that I was startled—even if there was no sound coming out, his movement was too loud, how could it not make me alert? I couldn't see who it was, but in the darkness, I could feel his burning eyes. Although this person is outside the window, and the window is quite small, it will take a little effort for this person to get in through the window, but this scene is still very frightening.I held my breath and didn't make a sound, to see what further action he had. The man looked into the cabin for a while, as if waking up his face, covering the light source, so that he couldn't see the situation in the room clearly, so his face was slightly tilted back, away from the window. With this action, the moonlight and lights were immediately reflected on his face, and I naturally saw clearly who he was. After I saw who he was, I reckon I was paralyzed and unable to move for at least ten seconds—during those ten seconds, if he made a move on me, I was afraid that anyone would Action, I can't prevent it, because it's too unexpected.
