The Treasure at the Foot of the Mountain
Chapter 195 The Treasure at the Foot of the Mountain (4)
Although not many things were salvaged, for the members of the salvage team who have been out at sea for nearly a month, it is better to gain something than nothing.What's more, they didn't set off to return, and they still had to continue searching for the treasure under the mountain they were trying to find.
As Xu Haibao said earlier, salvage of sunken ships is sometimes really a matter of luck.The unplanned shipwreck did not take them too much time.The value of the salvaged gold, silver and jewelry should not be too low.
In the words of Tang Xingyou and others, the oil money they salvaged this time was still earned.If there is still something to gain, then it is pure profit.It is also important for everyone to enjoy the process of salvage.
Still choosing a deserted island to rest at night, Xu Haibao picked some relatively rare seafood from the sea as before, and let the team members enjoy another seafood feast.Even if it's a bit boring, it's a hearty dinner after all.
With the continuation of the salvage trip, the 'Sea Dragon' continued to sail towards the Solomon Islands as planned.Passing ships didn't pay much attention to this slow-moving ship that was always sailing on the high seas.
The reason is very simple. When passing ships on the high seas discovered the 'Hailong', the salvage ships were sailing normally.Even if the speed is not fast, it also shows that the salvage ship is sailing, and no one pays attention to where it is going.
In fact, most of the ships traveling on the high seas will not come into contact with strange ships.No one knows whether these occasional ships will bring them trouble.One thing more is worse than one thing less, no one cares blindly in the high seas.
According to the previously planned search route map, Xu Haibao still patiently searched every deserted island he passed.Although the sunken ship was not found later, Xu Haibao also harvested a lot of seafood and found a few meteorites that sank on the bottom of the sea.
All these meteorites, without exception, are thrown into the nameless bead space to speed up the evolution of the nameless bead space.Such unexpected gains made Xu Haibao even more convinced that unexpected gains can only be achieved by going out to sea.
On the deserted islands that he landed along the way, Xu Haibao also collected many medicinal herbs that are hard to find in China.For Xu Haibao, this trip to the sea is more of a practice.It's best to catch the treasure, and he won't be too disappointed if he doesn't.
Looking at the suspected areas that were drawn up earlier and being ruled out one by one, Tang Xingyou, the captain, also said helplessly: "Swordfish, looking at the situation, I guess we will return disappointed this time. If we want to find the treasure again, It can only enter the economic waters of other countries!"
"Don't be too discouraged, this kind of thing is normal. If the treasure under the mountain is so easy to find, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for us to find it. As you said earlier, anyway, we have already earned the oil money, and it will be a net profit if we get it again.
Albatross reported a situation to me earlier, and I think it is very necessary to have a look.That place is a submerged coral reef area, and our salvage ships may not be navigable.Go to that place later, I will show you the way in the sea.
If there is no harvest in that place, then we will set off to return home.In any case, this is the first time our company has gone overseas since its establishment, and it is good to have some gains.At least the team has been tempered. "
"Okay! You can think so, of course I have nothing to say!"
"Even if you can't think about it, the treasure will fall from the sky!"
After laughing, Tang Xingyou, under the command of Xu Haibao, drove the salvage boat to Devil's Bay, which is still some distance away from the economic waters of the Solomon Islands.Of course, in the official mouth of the Solomon Islands, this is a coral reef area.
Arriving at this submerged reef area, Xu Haibao acted as a human-shaped pilot area, and swam ahead to direct the salvage ship to sail slowly.Avoid some reefs that may be touched, and let the salvage ship enter a relatively calm water.
Seeing Xu Haibao making the gesture of 'stop sailing' in the sea, Zhao Ji and others, who had been waiting for a long time, drove a speedboat with the divers of the salvage team, and soon appeared beside Xu Haibao.
Pointing to the reef-lined sea ahead, Xu Haibao also quickly said: "Tiger Shark, leave a speedboat nearby to meet us at any time. The other two speedboats are still released, and they are always paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Looking at the weather, it will be dark soon.The next search should take quite a while.If there is nothing to gain tonight, then after dawn, we will set off for the return voyage, it depends on tonight if there is any! "
"Okay, then wish us luck!"
Floating in the sea, Xu Haibao sensed the surrounding seabed, and told the divers beside him: "Two teams, search in a fan shape. The water in this area is complicated, so everyone should be careful during the dive.
According to the information provided by Albatross, there are many hidden reefs and caves in this sea area.If there are treasures, then the most likely places to hide them should be those caves.But many caves have undercurrents, so be careful before entering.
If there is a situation, remember not to act without authorization, first report the situation, and then I will come over as soon as possible.Another thing to note is that the sightlines will be even worse after dark, so be extra cautious when diving! "
After emphasizing their safety awareness, the salvage team members who put on conventional diving suits also began to search in groups of two.As the commander of the salvage team, Xu Haibao began to cooperate with everyone in the search.
With the help of the diving flashlight, the team members lurking in this reef area can still see the surrounding sea area clearly.As Xu Haibao said earlier, large-scale coral reefs emerge from time to time under the seabed.
To everyone's surprise, caves with small apertures can be seen from time to time under some coral reefs.When the diving team searched, they could see marine life suddenly rushing out of the cave from time to time.
Just as Xu Haibao lamented that this submerged reef area really has a lot of caves, Wang Yuzhu, who was searching for a cave, suddenly found a glimmer of light from the shining flashlight.This reflection made Wang Yuzhu's heart tense.
Greeting to the team members next to him, Wang Yuzhu carefully sneaked into the cave, and soon found that there were rows of brick-shaped things exposed under the underwater cave that could accommodate one person.
Seeing these mud-covered bricks, Wang Yuzhu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and quickly said: "Swordfish, come here quickly, I have an unexpected discovery! If there are no accidents, we are really lucky this time."
The team members who were searching nearby immediately became happy when they heard the call from the earphones.At this time, the team members who cooperated with Wang Yuzhu to carry out the search found that the cave was a little strange.
Just when Wang Yuzhu was going to dive to clean up the mud, the team member said cautiously: "King Kong, don't dive, something is wrong! Look at the two sides of the cave, it seems that there are silk threads entangled!"
Hearing this, Wang Yuzhu quickly stopped what he was doing.On the other hand, Xu Haibao, who rushed over, also said in the earphone: "King Kong, come out of the cave first, and the others still stay where they are, waiting for my instructions!"
Like a swordfish in the sea, Xu Haibao soon appeared where Wang Yuzhu and the others were.Seeing the two people who just came out of the cave, Xu Haibao drilled into the cave, and soon saw the bricks laid in the cave.
Knowing that those bricks stuck to the mud stains should be smelted gold.Although I don't know how many there are for the time being, but looking at the area of the cave, I think there can be a lot of golden bricks underneath.
After using mental power to perceive, Xu Haibao looked at Wang Yuzhu next to him, showing a cautious expression: "King Kong, count your luck. There is something wrong with this cave. There should be bombs installed on the gold!"
"What? Bomb? How is that possible?"
"See those cloth lines? Although I don't know how these bombs detonate, if you touched these lines before, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents. Once the cave collapses, do you think you can come out alive?"
"Damn it, these little devils are really insidious!"
"Remember this lesson! When salvaging a sunken ship in the sea, you must be careful at all times. Especially when salvaging this kind of treasure buried by the military, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take some protective measures to ensure the safety of the treasure."
After keeping the two of them away from the cave, Xu Haibao quickly said through the underwater calling device: "Tiger Shark, you and the red snapper come here! Wait for King Kong to surface, and you guys drive the speedboat over here. Also put on the diving equipment ,it works!"
"Tiger Shark received, come here immediately!"
Taking advantage of the absence of Zhao Ji and the red snapper, Xu Haibao carefully filtered the situation of this cave with the help of mental power.It was found that there are quite a few gold bricks buried under the cave.But under the gold bricks, there are bombs that can be detonated at any time.
Thinking of the rumors in the previous life, someone found a batch of treasures buried by Fengwen Yamashita in the cave of the Philippine Army Mountain.But at that time, the treasure hunters were too happy to notice the detonating device buried under the treasure.
As a result, the treasure hunter triggered the detonation device and buried the treasure hunter who entered the cave directly in the cave.Although the treasure was unearthed in the end, the treasure hunters who entered the cave earlier were all killed without exception.
When Xu Haibao heard the news before, he still felt a little disbelieving.Now that he saw the situation of the underwater cave, he felt that Fengwen Yamashita really put his mind to it.Once the explosives are detonated on the seabed, the cave will completely collapse.
If it weren't for the team's salvage search, the treasure hunting team of several people would have all confessed to the underwater cave.In this way, the secrets about this cave treasure may be buried again.
After analyzing the wiring diagram in the cave and the location of the explosives in his mind, Xu Haibao also planned to discuss it with the red snapper who is good at EOD.How to solve this potential threat and take out all the gold bricks in the cave safely.
In Xu Haibao's view, when the little devil buried the treasure in the first place, there must have been a way to get rid of this detonation trap.Otherwise, when this batch of treasures waits for the stingy people to get them, I'm afraid it will also bring a fatal threat to the later treasure hunters.
In view of this situation, as long as Xu Haibao finds a way to eliminate these trap bombs, he can safely eliminate the hidden danger of explosives and transfer all the gold bricks buried here to the salvage ship.The rest is to return home with a full load!
