After dinner, Song Zhou kissed Lu Ao and went back to work, while Lu Ao continued to drive to the town.

The route he planned was relatively remote, and he happened to pass by the vicinity of Jasmine Island on his way back.

He simply drove the boat around the road, and drove the boat to Jasmine Island, wanting to see how Xiaodu and the others were progressing.

Before reaching Jasmine Island, more than ten nautical miles away, Lu Ao saw two or three large ships gathered together, and more than a dozen people were busy at sea.

This is a very lively scene at sea.

When the watchman on the ship saw Lu Ao, he gestured for him to leave.

Lu Ao stopped the boat, walked to the deck, and asked, "Excuse me, is this the boat of the Qianyong Maritime and Shipping Police Department?"

"Almost." The watchman recognized him, relaxed his mind, and shouted from a distance: "Lu Ao, it's you? Why are you here?"

"I'll go back by boat." Lu Ao turned off the engine, looked at the divers who floated up and dived, and wondered, "You didn't really find the cultural relics, did you?"

"Yes." The lookout was puzzled, "Didn't you give us the location?"

The location was given by him, but when he gave it out, he really didn't expect to find something here.

He asked: "How is the situation now? Has the sunken ship been found?"

"do not know."

They were talking here, and they came out of the boat to watch.

Xiao Du saw him at a glance and asked happily, "Brother Lu? Have you gone to fetch your boat?"

"Just picked it up, slowly drive back. How is your search? Have you got any results?"

"Yes! I just fished out some cultural relics and they are soaking in the pond for desalination treatment. Do you want to see them?"

Lu Ao glanced at the time, it was only past three o'clock, so there was still time to check it out.

He nodded decisively.

There are dinghies on board.

He parked the boat, put down the boat after going to the boat, and rowed to Xiao Du's side.

When Head Gu heard that he was coming, he also came out to look, and greeted him with a red face, "Lu Ao, you are very accurate in your judgment! Based on the map you gave us, we found it as soon as we looked for it."

"It's also a coincidence." Lu Ao got on the boat and asked, "How many things did you find?"

"It's all in this desalination pool, you'll know when you come and have a look."

Lu Ao was not polite, and followed them to watch.

Walking on the deck, I saw the bottom of the desalination pool temporarily surrounded by tarpaulins, and more than a dozen pieces of porcelain were wrapped and carefully laid out.

These porcelains are roughly the same as the batch they picked up, and the exposed parts can be seen to be black flowers on a white background, very elegant.

Head Gu didn't expect this mission to come to fruition so soon, so he was very happy at this moment, and asked, "The diver is still below, how is it? Do you want to try it too? Aren't you good at diving?"

Lu Ao was a little curious about the situation below, but there were so many people here that it was difficult for him to change back into a dragon form.

As for direct snorkeling without equipment, with the depth of this sea area, it is useless to go down.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Ao shook his head, "Forget it, I didn't bring any equipment today."

"What are you afraid of if you don't bring equipment? We have new ones here." Captain Gu saw what was going on, turned his head and pointed at a soldier and shouted, "Go and get a new set of diving equipment."

"Yes!"

The soldier quickly came out with the equipment, and Lu Ao didn't hesitate, "Then I'll try, and you can help me look at my boat."

"No problem, you go."

Lu Ao nodded, put on the equipment carefully, and adjusted it carefully before walking to the side of the boat, holding his nose and jumping into the sea.

The buoyancy in the sea is relatively large, so he has more weight belts.

Basically, as soon as it entered the water, it was pulled down by the counterweight.

Lu Ao looked around, and saw several figures floating indistinctly nearby.

The underwater visibility was not very good today, so he didn't see these people clearly, nor did he recognize them.

He was not a group-loving person in the first place, and he didn't mind if he didn't recognize anyone, so he just dived down sullenly.

The average water depth of this sea area is more than 130 meters.

Some places are shallower, some places are deeper.

There will also be hillsides and cliffs in the sea, but the sea is generally still on the continental shelf, and the general trend is to slowly slope downward.

When he dived to more than 20 meters, Lu Ao had to turn on the flashlight and carefully check the surroundings.

There are quite a lot of fish in this water layer, and the light of the flashlight swept over, and groups of black shadows passed by.

Lu Ao continued to sink calmly.

There were quite a few people around, but in this seemingly bottomless sea, he seemed to be the only one.

In addition to his own breathing and heartbeat, there was the sound of gurgling water in his ears.

Lu Ao looked at the diving watch on his hand.

He has now sunk to a depth of 59 meters, because there is no reference object, and he does not know how far he is from the bottom of the sea.

The gas cylinder was still full, and Lu Ao didn't feel any discomfort.

70 meters, 80 meters, 90 meters, 100 meters.

The water layer is getting darker and there are fewer fish around.

Ordinary divers who have dived to this point feel that the pressure is already great. If they are not very experienced, they should stop at this place and float up slowly.

Lu Ao continued to dive until he reached 150 meters before reaching the bottom of the sea.

The bottom of the sea is dark and the surroundings are deserted.

Lu Ao could only see some sediment and some algae.

There are no fish and shrimps to be seen here, and of course, predators hiding behind the sand and waiting for an opportunity are not ruled out.

Lu Ao could feel their presence.

But it doesn't matter, Lu Ao is big, and they dare not attack at will.

Lu Ao floated gently above the bottom of the sea.

The bottom is thick with mud.

But he still saw the edge of the porcelain exposed from the mud at a glance.

Lu Ao: ...

He really didn't expect to find porcelain so easily.

He reached out to touch the back, touched the diving knife, and gently pulled it out, carefully picking out the mud.

As the silt was gradually removed, he could see the whole picture of the porcelain clearly.

This porcelain is a bit like a porcelain jar, but it's not a big jar like a water jar.

This porcelain jar is much smaller by visual inspection.

As soon as the light from the flashlight shines, the light lightly passes through the wall of the vat and shines to the other side, making the vat translucent.

Lu Ao gently pulled the porcelain jar out of the mud.

This porcelain cylinder is more than 30 centimeters in size by visual inspection, and its diameter should be more than ten centimeters.

Most of them are also ink paintings on a white background, with pictures such as pine and crane painted on the side.

This porcelain jar has been sunk on the seabed for an unknown number of years, and it is covered with barnacles, making it hard to see clearly in many places.

Lu Ao himself is not a professional, so he only took one look and didn't continue to judge.

There seems to be something next to the porcelain jar.

He continued to search nearby.

Since he didn't bring any tools at hand, he could only use a diving knife to slowly lift up the mud.

After searching for a while, he found a piece of decayed wood.

There are very clear traces of human finishing on it.

I don't know if this wood is part of the hull.

Lu Ao put the wood aside and continued to row and pull it up.

Just as he was concentrating on searching, an anxious voice suddenly came from the communicator next to his airtight respirator, "Lu Ao

? ”

"receive."

The person on the side of the ultrasonic communicator breathed a sigh of relief, "You have been down for more than two hours, how is the situation? Have you encountered any trouble?"

The voice sounded familiar, and Lu Ao couldn't remember who it was.

He replied, "No, I found a piece of wood and a porcelain jar under the water, and I'm looking around for anything else."

The voice over there immediately rose, rustling through the communicator, "Did you see the sunken ship?!"

"No, I'm looking for it."

"Oh." The voice was a little disappointed, and then said: "It's too late today, don't look for it, safety is the most important thing. Come up slowly first, and we will talk later."

Lu Ao agreed, he put the wood vertically into the vat, and slowly moved upstream holding the vat.

That is to say, he has great strength. If it were another person, he would be exhausted from the 100-meter-plus float.

It took Lu Ao more than 40 minutes to dive, and nearly an hour and a half to surface.

Everyone was on deck when he dived.

Someone yelled, "Come up!"

Then Lu Ao met a pair of concerned eyes, including Lu Ao's old acquaintances Xiang Xingchang and Lao Wen.

Qianyong City is just that big, and most of the best divers are here.

When everyone saw him, they hurriedly helped to lift the porcelain jar up, and then pulled Lu Ao up.

Xiao Du let out a sigh of relief, "Brother Lu, you scared us to death. Why did you use it for so long?"

"how long?"

"You go down after three o'clock, it's almost seven o'clock in the evening now."

Lu Ao looked at the time, and it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and his heart skipped a beat.

He forgot to tell Song Zhou in the afternoon, now that he has lost contact for three or four hours, Song Zhou might be looking for him anxiously.

He pointed to the porcelain jar next to him, and said, "This is something I found on the bottom of the sea. Please take a look first. I'll make a call."

"Wait a minute!" The expert on board rushed up with a small notebook, "Can you tell me where you dived just now and what you saw?"

Lu Ao hurriedly said, "Everyone will know about diving again tomorrow. Sorry, I have to call my family first."

What else does the expert want to say.

Head Gu raised his hand to stop him, and said to Lu Ao: "You call first, no matter how urgent you are, don't be in a hurry at this moment."

Xiao Du cleverly helped him get the phone.

Lu Ao nodded, took the phone, and dialed Songzhou's number.

As soon as the call was connected, Song Zhou asked, "Still at sea? Why haven't you come back for so long, and got caught by the salvage team?"

Lu Ao widened his eyes, took off his flippers and hurried out of the crowd, asking as he walked, "How do you know?"

"Forget it, there is nothing else that can hold you back except this." Song Zhou's voice was infinitely gentle through the receiver, "When will you come back, I'll make dinner."

Lu Ao rubbed the railings, turned his head to look at the group leader Gu who was looking forward to them behind him, a little embarrassed, "I may have to stay at sea overnight."

Song Zhou sighed faintly over there.

Lu Ao hurriedly promised, "I will definitely be back tomorrow afternoon."

Songzhou's voice dragged on, "Wait until tomorrow afternoon?"

"How about—" Lu Ao hesitated, "Why don't I go back to my boat to rest later, I'll drive the boat away, and you come to find me?"

Lu Ao was very sorry in his heart, and rubbed his fingers against the railing uneasily.

When his heart was raised, Song Zhou answered over there, "Okay, you go back to the boat first, and I will come to you later."

"No problem, I'll prepare now." Lu Ao breathed a sigh of relief, and apologized obediently, "This time I was wrong, next time I will definitely say it in advance."

"Wait, I'll bring food over."

Lu Ao responded immediately, "Okay, I won't eat their food."

After talking for a while, Lu Ao reluctantly hung up the phone.

The people behind him are anxiously waiting for him.

Especially experts holding notebooks.

Lu Ao came back and said quickly, "I actually didn't see anything in the sea, just this big tank and the wood. I only found this by digging through the mud with a diving knife."

The expert quickly asked: "What is the silt like? Is it sediment?"

"Ordinary silt, I didn't look carefully."

"How deep did you dive?"

"The watch shows 150 meters, and the mud underneath is very thick, maybe one or two meters, I didn't explore it carefully." Seeing that he still wanted to ask, Lu Ao simply said: "I didn't notice anything else, I have to dive down tomorrow to see look."

Upon hearing this, Captain Gu said again and again: "Okay, I will dive again tomorrow. This time I really trouble you. I will give you a replacement letter of appointment. You are welcome to join our team as a specially-appointed expert."

Lu Ao waved his hand, "No need, I will help you out of friendship, at most I will help you investigate for another day tomorrow."

The expert hurriedly said, "Enough for one day? At least two or three months!"

"It's too long." Lu Ao shook his head, "I suggest you bring the submersible here."

The expert said: "The submersible will definitely be adjusted, but this is delicate work, and it is mainly done manually. Our special experts are also well paid, why don't you think about it?"

Lu Ao said without hesitation, "Sorry, I'm not available."

"Hey, don't refuse so quickly, isn't your main job fishing? We guarantee that your income here will not be worse than your fishing!"

"It's really not about money." Lu Ao waved his hand, "I just got married, so I can't leave my lover alone at home."

The expert didn't give up, "I only worked for a few months, and I can still go back on weekends, and it's not far away."

Lu Ao resolutely refused, "Forget it, it's inconvenient. If it's useful to me, I'll come over and help out. By the way, I'll go back to the boat first, and I'll drive the boat farther later. I'll be there at night rest."

Leader Gu asked to stay, "We also have vacant cabins here, how inconvenient is it for you to move around?"

"It's okay. I'll go there first. I have an appointment with my lover to make a phone call later."

As Lu Ao said, he quickly changed back into his clothes, and nodded to Xiang Xingchang and the others, "Let's talk tomorrow."

Xiang Xingchang and the others understood, and waved their hands, "Let's have dinner together tomorrow!"

"No problem." Lu Ao smiled, "See you later."

As he spoke, he ran to the deck below to untie the small boat tied to the stern, jumped on it two or three times, and rowed to his own boat.

His movements are so vigorous that the rest of the people can't get in the way.

He could only watch his back leave.

"It's too urgent." Xiao Du muttered.

"Are you in a hurry to call your family?" Xiang Xingchang said, "When did Lu Ao get married? He hasn't had his wedding wine yet, so have you heard the news?"

"No, he didn't really like to join in the fun, and he rarely made a sound in the group." Old Wen said: "Of course, there may be no time to have a drink, isn't that what young people are like, when they fall in love, they become husbands and wives , maybe you didn’t even get the certificate.”

"Hey, among other things, he and his wife really have a good relationship. Speaking of which, I was like this when I first got married. I wish I could tie my wife to my belt hahahaha."

Several big men muttered a few sour words in the back, and they all felt that the love came too fast and too strong, unlike them, life was as plain as water.

It's so sad.

"What's the use of young people being in love?" The expert patted his thigh and summed up with a long sigh, "Children love each other, but heroes are short of breath!"
