golden escape

The underwater robot completely surveyed the surrounding sea area. In addition to the thirty wooden boxes piled up on the seabed in twos and threes before, they found several individual wooden boxes on the detection map sent by the robot. , it must have been washed away by the sea when it was put in, or drifted away from the original place with the current during the decades of changes on the bottom of the sea.

So far, the treasure detection work has been roughly completed, and it is now ten o'clock in the night, and they have been busy for nearly ten hours, and their harvest is also very rich.

During this survey, a total of 38 large wooden boxes were found on the seabed, but some were square, and some were rectangular like coffins. According to Fang You's speculation, these rectangular wooden boxes should contain large pieces of porcelain.

Among the 38 wooden boxes, three wooden boxes have been broken, and some of the contents inside have been spilled on the seabed from the wooden boxes. As for the condition of the cultural relics inside, they don't know at all.

Fortunately, except for these three severely damaged wooden boxes, the rest of the wooden boxes are well preserved. Although the surface of some wooden boxes has been corroded, according to the results of robot detection, it is not particularly serious and can withstand The pulling force of the floating platform.

There are 35 complete wooden boxes. From the huge volume of this wooden box, it can be deduced that the number of cultural relics contained in it will never be small.

With the increasing strength of the war of resistance and the support of the allies, the pace of failure of the small island country in the final period is getting faster and faster. During this period, it is also stepping up to plunder various cultural relics and other materials from China.

I am afraid that these cultural relics and treasures are the products of this period. It was only after the small island country surrendered, and the criminal generals at that time had some selfishness, these cultural relics and treasures did not have the opportunity to go to the small island country.

It is conceivable that in order to greatly plunder Chinese cultural relics, each ship is absolutely full of things. When observing the aura in the sea before, Fang You naturally knew from the large stocks of aura. There is absolutely no shortage of good things here.

It's just how many rare antiques there are, or what they are, on this point, Fang You is not a god, and he can only wait until the box is salvaged, and then slowly confirm it.

"William, with the salvage equipment on our cruise ship, how long will it take to salvage all the wooden boxes below?" Looking at the dark boxes in the picture, Fang You asked William next to him.

Among the dozen or so mercenaries with salvage experience, he had the most experience, so Fang You asked him to be the commander in chief of the salvage, to ensure that the boxes on the bottom of the sea could be salvaged smoothly.

William looked at the drawings in his hand. He had fully recorded the positions of these more than 30 boxes on the seabed, and asked the robot to place buoys on the positions of these boxes.

A buoy is an indicator floating on the water surface that marks the position of an object under the surface of the water body. One end is fixed to the bottom of the water or the seabed, and the other end floats on the water surface.

Looking at the blueprints and pondering for a while, William raised his head and asked Fang You, "Mr. Fang, would you like to salvage those damaged wooden boxes and objects scattered on the seabed in the scattered boxes?"

Fang You nodded without hesitation, "Although the cultural relics scattered in the boxes have been corroded badly, our visit this time is not only for treasure hunting, but also has a more important meaning. The items are all looted from China by the small island country, since we have come here and found them, we must bring them all back so that they can return to the motherland, even if they are incomplete."

The mercenaries who were able to come here had already reached the level of free communication in Chinese. The mercenaries in the cockpit naturally heard what Fang You said, and immediately showed respect on their faces.

They are very clear about Fang You's net worth, and they will never care about the value of the items scattered on the seabed. Let them return to their homeland, Fang You's behavior of never giving up every item, let them respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Just like they are on the battlefield, they also don’t give up on each of their companions, don’t abandon, don’t give up, go forward bravely, and face danger, this is the most basic belief as a soldier.

Working with such an employer, they feel extremely at ease, because they don't have to worry that the employer will abandon them, or even stab them in the back.

It is their responsibility to protect their employers, but following people like Fang You, they feel a sense of belonging, not just to complete the task.

"Mr. Fang, in this case, it will take longer. Those cultural relics scattered in the depths of the sea are not enough to collect them completely with the flexibility of the robotic arm of the underwater robot. Someone must dive down to collect them. As for It is very simple to salvage the complete boxes. With the capabilities of our existing equipment, they can be completely salvaged within one day, and with the scattered cultural relics included, our salvage time will not exceed two days." William With respect on his face, he said to Fang You.

Fang You nodded. At the beginning of the treasure hunt, he was prepared to stay at sea for ten days and half a month. Now it seems that maybe it will not be such a long time, and they will be able to go back smoothly.

The damaged boxes and the cultural relics scattered on the bottom of the sea must be collected. Although damaged, each of these cultural relics is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people, how can they be left in the deep sea.

"William, I'm going to trouble you. Put the robot up now. It's already late at night. Everyone has a rest today. We'll salvage tomorrow morning. Thank you for your hard work today." Fang You nodded to William, and then looked at the robot. He looked at the time and said to the crowd.

It is much more difficult to salvage in the middle of the night than during the day, and the lack of light is the most important reason. Since Fang You has made plans to stay at sea for a long time, there is no shortage of time at all, so naturally he will not rush to salvage overnight.

On a deserted island not far away from them, some lights were lit up. The location of this deserted island is extremely remote, and the environment in the surrounding sea area is very complicated. There are many hidden reefs. Passing ships dare not rely on them. go here.

The environment on this deserted island is also very bad, and it is not suitable for human habitation at all. Even the country that owns this deserted island will not come here to patrol most of the time.

This place has become a gathering place for nearby pirates. As long as there is a sea, there will never be a shortage of pirates.

The vast sea gave pirates the opportunity to move freely, and it also made it very difficult to hunt down pirates on the vast sea.

There are also signs of piracy in the several seas of China, especially in the Malacca waters of the South China Sea. The triangular area where Indonesian indigenous, Malaysian, and Filipino maids meet is an area where pirates frequently occur.

And in the East China Sea, there are also incidents of pirates attacking ships from time to time, but the ocean is very vast, and the sea power of various countries cannot be active in every sea area at all times. This is the reason why pirates are rampant.

Even if the moment pirates are discovered and the government is requested for support, after arriving at the sea area with the speed of warships or coast guard ships, the robbery activities of the pirates may have ended long ago.

Just like the crazy pirates in Somalia, they hijacked nearly a hundred ships from various countries in a short period of time, which aroused unanimous condemnation from the international community. Countries then sent warships to escort the sea area, but they still could not completely stop the pirates' actions.

There are even some pirates who dare to attack ships under the protection of naval escort warships of various countries. It has to be said that pirates are a group of lunatics who are crazy for various interests.

The identities of the pirates are mostly criminals from various countries and underworld organizations, who carry out hijacking activities at sea for huge profits.

The pirates on this deserted island came from Southeast Asia. The East China Sea is also a golden route for maritime trade. As long as there are developed coastal areas, there will be pirates. This is the benefit. madness.

On a hillside on this deserted island, a little light lit up. From the inside of the hillside, voices could be heard from time to time. These pirates pierced through the hillside and built a cave here.

At this moment, there are more than a dozen people in the cave, wearing different clothes, but the violent aura emanating from them all the time proves their identities.

In this cave, there are many things, including various sophisticated communication equipment, and gold jewelry that seems to be stolen in twos and threes. Similarly, there are pieces of money from different countries on the table.

In addition to these, the cave was a mess, beer bottles could be seen everywhere, and some people in the cave were sitting around playing cards, while others were idly reading all kinds of bad books.

If Fang You saw this scene, he would definitely recognize the difference between the mercenaries of the Dragon War Organization and these stragglers.

At this time, a middle-aged man who was wearing earphones in front of the communication equipment and kept fiddling put down the earphones. With excitement on his face, he turned to the man with the scar on his face who was sitting in the middle of the cave and was playing cards with other people. Said: "Boss, our spies on a cargo ship have received good news. In the waters not far from us, there is a luxury cruise ship sailing."

"Don't rush to be happy. Has he sent more specific news? Although the luxury cruise ship has huge benefits, the defense force on it must be very strong." The scarred face put down his poker and looked at the man The middle-aged man then frowned slightly, and said in a solemn tone.

The luxury cruise ship is not something that any pirate can hijack. There are a lot of rich people on it. Similarly, the means of protection are also very powerful. Without more specific information, there is no good attack environment. With their current weapons and equipment, it is impossible to It is impossible to hijack a luxury cruise ship.

This is in the East China Sea, not in Somalia, Africa. As long as you have money, you can get any kind of weapon.

"Well, the man said that this luxury cruise ship does not seem to belong to a certain company. Judging by the name painted on the ship, it seems to be privately owned. The name is Qingyou." The middle-aged man said.
