The Treasure at the Foot of the Mountain
Chapter 196 The Treasure at the Foot of the Mountain (5)
Compared with the risk of setting caves and exploring tombs on land, the risk of digging treasures of sunken ships on the seabed is as great.Similar to the man-made hidden treasures in front of us, like those royal tombs on land, some anti-theft measures will be arranged.
The underwater cave used to hide treasure in front of me looks no different from the surrounding caves.If you don't use this kind of dragnet search, it is really not an easy task to find the treasure buried here.
Although it was an accidental cave treasure, such a trigger bomb device was actually arranged.But Xu Haibao felt that it was only natural for a little devil to make such an insidious arrangement.
As members of the salvage team, Zhao Ji and the red snapper, who were born in the elite frogman team, naturally have good diving abilities.After receiving Xu Haibao's instructions, the two quickly took a speedboat and dived to where Xu Haibao was.
Looking at the dense wires in the cave, the red snapper was also shocked and said, "Swordfish, is this the work of a little devil?"
"Although there is no substantive evidence, it should be more or less the same. If there is no accident, the treasure buried here should be the gold that was sent to this place by a ship under the letter at the foot of the mountain. But this amount seems a bit small!"
Zhao Ji, who was staying at the side, said straightforwardly: "Swordfish, there are quite a few caves like this, and there is not even one place to bury the treasure! It is necessary to tell the jellyfish and them, remember to be careful when searching."
"Well, King Kong, pass on this news. Don't worry too much, we still have enough time. Search slowly, safety first!"
"Yes!"
Wang Yuzhu, who received Xu Haibao's new instructions, quickly conveyed the latest instructions.You Guangwei and others, who were still searching for underwater caves of all sizes, were also really shocked when they learned that underwater bombs were buried in the cave's treasure chest.
If they really want to touch the bomb in the seabed cave, I'm afraid they won't even have a chance to escape.Xu Haibao asked them to search carefully, naturally for the sake of their safety.Looking for treasure, no one wants to bury their lives here.
While the salvage team continued to search the cave, Zhao Ji and the red snapper who stayed beside Xu Haibao also checked the wires arranged in the cave under Xu Haibao's reminder.Trying to find a way to dismantle this detonator.
Seeing that many wires were buried in mud, the red snapper, who is good at dismantling bombs, also had a headache and said: "The wiring is very messy, and the main wire must be found. But some wires are buried. If you want to find out where the main wire is, there are still some wires." Difficult!"
"Then do you think these bombs detonated by tripping or pressing?"
Hearing the difficulties that the red snapper said, Xu Haibao thought it was normal.Over time, some wires have been buried by mud.But during the previous investigation, Xu Haibao felt that the bomb should not be a tripping type.
If it is a trigger detonation, I believe that those little devils who arranged explosives would also be worried about the fish that flow into the cave from time to time.The more reliable detonation method may be to move the gold bricks, causing the weight to lose balance and detonate.
Facing Xu Haibao's question, the red snapper thought about it carefully and said, "It is reasonable to say that the possibility of triggering the detonation is not very high. But if the pressure detonation is adopted, the little devil should not need to lay so many lines. It's obviously superfluous!"
"You mean, maybe there are two ways to detonate?"
"Hard to say!"
Seeing the red snapper with a somewhat embarrassed expression, Xu Haibao thought for a while and said, "Could it be that if you clean up all these wirings, you will be able to eliminate the little devil's detonating device?"
"It should be possible! It's very risky to manually clean up these wires buried in the mud!"
To the surprise of Red Snapper and Zhao Ji, Xu Haibao smiled and said, "Leave the matter of cleaning up the mud to me! You stay away, and I will call you back later. Don't worry, you should know that I have some mysteries Means!"
"Okay, then be careful yourself!"
Although curious about how Xu Haibao would clean up the mud without triggering the fuse, Zhao Ji and the red snapper left the cave quickly. After swimming for a certain distance, the two stopped, looking in the direction of the cave with concern.
After confirming that there was no one around, Xu Haibao said softly: "Light wave technique!"
Accompanied by Xu Haibao pinching his fingers to release the spell he practiced after breaking through the realm, a wave visible to the naked eye began to ripple in the cave.Under the rippling of the water waves, the silt on the gold bricks was continuously washed away.
The wires that were originally buried in the mud, as well as the gold bricks that could not be seen clearly, also restored the luster of the gold bricks under the washing of the water waves.Looking at the dazzling gold bricks in the cave, Xu Haibao must admit that this is a visual shock.
Under the scouring of the light wave technique, the silt accumulated on the gold bricks for many years was washed away.The gold bricks that did not look bright earlier have returned to their original colors.The wires arranged around the gold bricks also became very clear.
When Zhao Ji and the red snapper came over again, seeing the dazzling luster in the cave, they couldn't hide their shock and said: "There are so many gold bricks! These gold bricks weigh at least tens of catties, right? How much is this worth! "
"Don't just look at the gold bricks, first remove the bombs near the gold bricks. Although we have found these gold bricks, we haven't transported the gold bricks back to China. We can't take it lightly. Let's work first!"
"it is good!"
Checking the wiring again, the red snapper who was about to start dismantling the detonator still did not dare to take it lightly.As a special warfare elite in the new century, the red snapper is also very cautious about the detonating device deployed by the little devil in World War II.
This seemingly outdated wiring method is quite a challenge for the red snapper.Compared with excluding modern time bombs or other bombs, no one can guess whether the bombs that have been buried for decades will be detonated at any time.
In the process of the red snapper dismantling the bomb, You Guangwei and others soon discovered the second gold hiding place.Like the cave where the explosives are being removed, there are still bomb devices that may be detonated at any time.
Upon hearing the news, Xu Haibao quickly made a decision: "Tiger Shark, notify the security team to raise the alert level, and the salvage team and logistics team will start preparing for the transshipment of gold bricks. All gold bricks will be transported on board and immediately stored in a safe .
Although there are very few ships passing by this place, in order to ensure the safety of the transfer, we must leave here before dawn.This also means that there is not much time left for us.In addition, send a text message to the albatross to inform that the typhoon is about to land, and take precautions! "
"Yes!"
Following Xu Haibao's order to transship the gold bricks, members of the salvage team who cooperated with the sea also began to act collectively.Tang Xingyou was responsible for picking up and sealing up the gold bricks on board, and the rest were responsible for moving and transshipping the gold bricks.
As the red snapper carefully removed the wires wrapped around the gold brick, everyone waiting nearby also let out a long sigh of relief.But in order to be sure, Xu Haibao decided to let him go into the hole to dig out the gold bricks.
Looking at the disapproving gazes of the crowd, Xu Haibao insisted: "Okay, have you forgotten our discipline? During the salvage process, the team must obey orders. What's more, don't you know my strength?
Even if there will be an explosion later, I can still ensure my own safety with my ability.But if something happens to you, are you sure that nothing will happen?Do as I say, and you will be responsible for the support at the periphery.Red snapper, go up and rest for a while! "
Xu Haibao still chose to refuse the red snapper's proposal to eliminate the explosives in another cave.He could feel that the red snapper was exhausted physically and mentally during the previous process of removing the wires.
Knowing that this is Xu Haibao's concern, the red snapper couldn't refuse such kindness.In the end, the red snapper chose to float to the surface of the sea, and cooperated with the members of the logistics support team to deliver the gold bricks brought up by the salvage team.
You Guangwei and others who were in charge of responding outside the cave, looked at the gold bricks thrown by Xu Haibao, and felt that Xu Haibao's actions were rude.You know, such a gold brick is very expensive!
Fortunately, everyone knows that the gold bricks are not fragile. If Xu Haibao didn't throw them out of the cave, they would have to pick them up closer to the cave.If there was an explosion, they would be hit too.
As the first speedboat was piled up with gold bricks, after confirming that it couldn’t fit, the team members sitting on the pile of gold bricks also said excitedly: “We can’t load any more! Let’s go back to unload first! Damn, this time it’s really profitable.” Already!"
According to the previous agreement they signed with Xu Haibao, the salvage team can share [-]% of the proceeds from going to sea each time.This share seems not much, but such a huge harvest, [-]% of the income is distributed to individuals, and there is a lot of money to be distributed!
When the speedboat drove to the sea area where the salvage ship was located, looking at these shining gold bricks as big as bricks, everyone who stayed on the boat and was in charge of responding felt a spiritual shock.Tang Xingyou, who had a strong self-confidence, couldn't help being a little absent-minded.
Fortunately, Tang Xingyou knew that it was far from being happy now, so he immediately said, "Don't be dazed and giggling, help move the bricks onto the boat quickly. According to Swordfish's previous arrangement, lock them all in the safe."
It is clear that the huge safe next to Xu Haibao's lounge is the strongest place in the entire salvage ship.Even if the salvage ship is captured, if you want to blow up that huge safe, I'm afraid the whole salvage ship will face disintegration.
This also means that as long as the things are put in the safe, it is not an easy task for someone to actually attack the salvage ship and try to take away the things stored in the safe.Now it seems that the money spent is still worth it.
When the second speedboat escorted the gold bricks over, everyone who was excited before suddenly felt that moving these gold bricks was not as easy as imagined.What's more, there is still a gold brick in the cave that has not been cleaned out!
After emptying the gold bricks in the first cave, Xu Haibao started to clean the gold bricks in the second cave.Although You Guangwei and others wanted to find a third cave where gold bricks might be buried, it was a pity that they did not find a third treasure cave.
Looking at the disappointed crowd, Xu Haibao smiled and said: "It seems that you are more greedy than I imagined! The gold bricks from these two caves alone are enough to shock the world. To be a man, you must know how to be content, and only when you are content can you always be happy." Well!"
Listening to what Xu Haibao said, everyone also realized the meaning of these words.Treasure hunters need ambition and greed, but they also need to maintain a sense of restraint at all times.Excessive greed may be the beginning of death!
