Lu Ao went back to the boat and drove the boat away from Captain Gu and they were in the wrong place of the boat. He didn't stop until he drove more than ten nautical miles.
Song Zhou had already come over with a lunch box, and Lu Ao heard the movement.
Lu Ao turned off the engine, stopped the boat, and ran to the lounge to find him.
Song Zhou didn't say anything, and raised his head slightly, "Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"Oh." Lu Ao went out, didn't bother to turn on the drinking water, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and quietly stretched out his hand.
A white cloud quickly rushed over the ship, and it began to rain over the ship.
Lu Ao stretched out his hand, washed his hands a few times, and pushed the cloud with his power to make it go to another place.
Song Zhou watched him being lazy, and handed him a tissue to wipe his hands, "Have you been busy all afternoon?"
"Fortunately, I didn't come here to dive until after three o'clock." Lu Ao said, "Diving is not very tiring, and I feel okay."
"What do the people over there say, are you still going tomorrow?"
"It's one more day, I guess the sunken ship will be found tomorrow." Lu Ao promised, "Whether I can find the sunken ship tomorrow, I will go back."
"It's not that you are not allowed to help." Song Zhou pondered, "Although you have a deep connection with human beings, it is not enough to keep helping like this. Your existence has already affected China's luck."
Lu Ao was startled, his hands froze, and he looked up at him in shock, "So serious?"
"Do you think the last dragon in this world is rare?"
"Oh." Lu Ao picked up a chicken wing and asked carefully, "Then is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"It's a bad thing for you, but it may not be good for Huaxia. Seeing results will pay off. If you save effort here, you will always have to make up for it in other places in the future. It won't be easy."
Lu Ao put down his chopsticks and solemnly agreed, "I know, I won't help blindly in the future."
"It's not that you are not allowed to help at all. Don't do major things that obviously affect the fate of the country, such as searching for computers last time, catching poachers, and salvaging cultural relics. Others are fine."
Lu Ao can understand the computer thing, and there are important scientific research materials in it.
In the matter of the poachers, the poachers' boats and submersibles may have been seized, and Lu Ao also understands what new technologies can be obtained.
What is salvageable cultural relics?
Lu Ao frowned, "How could the salvage of cultural relics be related to the fate of the country as a whole? Isn't this a particularly important cultural relic?"
"Cultural relics are not particularly important, but this may promote the transformation of Huaguo, from focusing on land resources to developing oceans." Song Zhou asked, "You don't think that the leader of the team will personally lead the team to salvage the sunken ship. What's wrong? ?”
Lu Ao hesitated, "Didn't they just happen to be on duty at sea, and come here to carry out missions nearby?"
"How much time does it take for the head of a regiment to bring dozens of soldiers over to do missions?"
Lu Ao was asked.
It's not that he didn't feel that something was wrong before, but the other party was from Captain Gu, so there was nothing suspicious about it.
Lu Ao's education since he was a child told him not to inquire about things that shouldn't be.
He didn't ask, and didn't think about the deep meaning inside.
The main thing is that no matter what's in it, it basically doesn't matter to him.
Song Zhou made him a poached egg and said, "Concentrate on eating first, and think slowly after eating."
Lu Ao took a deep breath and buried himself in his meal.
After the two of them finished their meal, Song Zhou didn't leave, and simply stayed on the boat.
Life on the boat was still quite boring, but there were only the two of them on the boat. They watched the stars and the moon, fished and chatted, and they didn't feel that time was hard.
Early the next morning, after the two of them washed up, Song Zhou went to the cafeteria in their small courtyard to have breakfast and came back.
Fried eggs, steamed stuffed buns, soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, rice rolls, fried noodles, side dishes... There are many kinds of dishes brought back from Songzhou, and all breakfasts are still steaming.
The sea in the morning is a bit cold, and Lu Ao feels very comfortable to eat such a meal.
After breakfast, Song Zhou went to work with the food box, while Lu Ao drove the boat back to Captain Gu and the others.
Head Gu and the others adjusted the submersible over overnight, and the submersible has gone down for a round now.
They still couldn't find the location of the wreck, but they saw more artifacts scattered on the sea floor.
These cultural relics are scattered, and they can't recover them even if they see them with submersibles alone.
A large number of cultural relics have been able to prove that a tragedy must have occurred here.
It's just that everyone doesn't know where the tragedy happened, and what caused the tragedy.
Seeing Lu Ao, Xiao Du called him from a distance, "Brother Lu, have you had breakfast? Today we eat fried rice noodles, and we left fried eggs for you, would you like some?"
"No, I've already eaten, you can eat."
While chatting, Lu Ao's boat approached the big boat.
Xiao Du, Xiang Xingchang and others hurried over to help him tow the boat up.
Captain Gu appeared on the deck and raised his hand to greet him, "Lu Ao, come and take a look, and guess where our shipwreck is?"
"Wait a minute." Lu Ao walked over to him and asked, "Have you explored the seabed these two days?"
"Yes, there are sonar imaging data, but only the general terrain of the seabed can be seen, and details such as sunken ships and cultural relics cannot be displayed."
Lu Ao said: "It's okay, just show me the topographic map."
Head Gu personally took him in to watch the soldiers operating the equipment inside.
The level of science and technology of human beings is not too developed, and they know very little about the ocean.
Sea water and air are completely different things. Some technologies applied on land are useless once they reach the sea.
Sonar imaging technology is a technology specially used for ocean detection, but this technology is not very mature.
Lu Ao looked at the dark and shallow color patches at the bottom, and he could roughly see which places were raised and which places were sunken.
Lu Ao looked at it for a while, "Is there a clearer picture?"
The technician was a little nervous and shook his head quickly.
Lu Ao: "What's the scale of this picture?"
"One centimeter is more than 300 meters." The technician said, "We basically searched all the sea areas you guessed. This is the first point, and no suspicious objects were found."
Lu Ao: "Not necessarily."
Head Gu immediately asked, "What did you find?"
"I'll take a look."
Lu Ao looked at it for a long time, and finally pointed to a raised part on the picture, "I feel that the possibility of the shipwreck here is relatively high?"
The technician immediately asked, "Why?"
"Feeling." Lu Ao said, "Looking at the currents, the terrain, combined, I think it should be here."
Head Gu immediately made a decision, "Then let's try this location first, and if it doesn't work, we'll explore another location."
"Let's go and have a look first." Lu Ao said, "Give me a diving suit, and I'll go down in person."
"Why don't you go down in a submersible today? Let's save some time?"
When a person dives, basically the whole body is exposed to the sea water.
The deeper the dive, the greater the pressure on the person. In the seabed of more than 100 meters, the human lungs may shrink extremely small.
In order to prevent diver's disease, each diver needs to adjust his speed when ascending, and ascend slowly, even if it takes two hours, five hours, or even a day.
Lu Ao went down, in order not to arouse suspicion, he needed at least two hours.
And if you use a submersible, about 8 or [-] minutes is enough.
The people in the submersible don't have to think about the troubles caused by seawater pressure to the human body, and the dive and rise are very fast.
Lu Ao didn't object.
Soon, Captain Gu asked people to drive the boat to the place designated by Lu Ao, and he sent a professional operator and an archaeological expert to accompany Lu Ao down there.
The entire dive was videotaped this time, so there is no need to rely on divers' dictation as yesterday, and everyone will slowly imagine.
A small submersible enters the water.
Lu Ao and the others dived at a speed of more than 1 meters per minute.
Soon, the sea outside the porthole changed from gray blue to dark blue, and then almost pitch black.
Glowing fish and other sea life began to appear outside.
The operator had to turn on the light, and the archaeologist quickly recorded and muttered words.
Lu Ao looked out of the porthole intently.
"Teacher Lu, there are still ten meters left."
"Go on, control it, don't go down to the bottom, I suspect there is something in the mud."
"No problem." The operator steered the submersible down slowly.
The archaeologist stared at the silt outside, disappointed, "Are there traces of antiques here? Why is it all silt?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's under the mud?" Lu Ao asked the operator, "Can you look at the mud below?"
The operator cautiously said: "In terms of technical difficulty, there is basically no problem, but I am afraid that the submersible is too rough and will accidentally damage the antique."
Lu Ao: "What about sampling? Do you have a sampler?"
"no problem."
Lu Ao stared at the silt covering the seabed in front of him, and said, "Collect some samples first."
"Yes, we can analyze the composition of the silt when we go back later, maybe we can find clues to the sunken ship."
The operator nodded, manipulated the submersible, scooped up some of the silt and seawater below, and received it into the sampling box.
Lu Ao watched him finish the operation, and said, "Move five meters southwest, and take another sample."
The operator didn't ask any questions, and followed his instructions, and moved directly to the southwest for another harvest.
Lu Ao: "Further to the southwest, it's still five meters."
"Yes."
"To the east, three meters."
"Yes."
"Further east, one meter."
"Yes."
The archaeologists listened to Lu Ao's instructions and were at a loss, "What are we doing?"
"I seem to see the outline of the sunken ship, if there is really a sunken ship here." Lu Ao narrowed his eyes, "One meter to the south."
The operator manipulates the robotic arm to sample again.
When the robotic arm was stretched down this time, it was obvious that it had touched a hard object, and there was a weak resistance from it. The computer immediately analyzed the relevant data, and the analysis pointed out that there was an 80.00% probability that the object touched by the robotic arm was wood.
The operator was refreshed, but he didn't expect it to be really interesting.
Lu Ao said: "Are there any other lights? Turn on a brighter light to see."
"Yes! Just wait a moment."
The operator didn't care about saving energy, and directly turned on the headlights to illuminate the seabed as bright as day.
In front of them, an obvious undulating outline can roughly tell that there is a huge thing buried below. This thing may be a sunken ship, or it may be the bones of a whale. In short, it must not be a rock on the seabed.
It's too big, it's special, it's bumpy.
Rocks are never like this.
"Teacher Lu, what should we do now?"
"First take a photo to make a record, and then go back with the sample. Later, we will artificially dive down to see what is inside."
"Yes!"
The operator clearly recorded the underwater scene, and the archaeologists also worked with the camera. Both of them were very excited.
They originally wanted to come down to do a routine exploration, but they didn't expect that when Lu Ao said there was something down there, there really was something there.
This is also amazing!
The operator looked at Lu Ao with a bit of admiration in his eyes, and he finally understood why everyone admired Lu Ao's luck so much.
No, it's not a matter of luck.
No matter how lucky a person is, it is impossible to say that something is there. The operator is more willing to believe that this is his unique analytical ability.
A person with strong analytical and inductive abilities can naturally find the answer from clues.
Both the operator and the archaeologists took 360-degree shots of the area.
The two of them kept the information well before preparing to float up.
Compared with diving, they surfaced faster. It took only 5 minutes for their submersible to float to the surface.
The crew on the ship hurriedly hoisted their submersible to the deck with a crane.
The operator turned on the submersible, and as soon as he showed up, he couldn't wait to say: "There is something under the water, we seem to have found the sunken ship!"
"what?!"
"real or fake?"
"Just under our ship?"
"Yes, it's just under our ship. The sunken ship may have been buried by mud, and a more obvious outline has been bulged out. We all took videos, so you can take a look together. By the way, we also took samples."
The operator clenched his fists excitedly, "Let me first show you the samples we collected."
As he spoke, he operated the submersible to send out the samples.
Soon someone took these samples back to the cabin for analysis.
Head Gu received the news, strode out, and asked dignifiedly, "What's going on?"
"Reporting to the head, we seem to have found traces of the sunken ship!"
"Have you found the real thing? Let me see."
"Report, currently only video."
Lu Ao pulled out the submersible, and added next to him, "I just looked at the outline, and it feels quite obvious. We need to dive manually and confirm again."
Xiang Xingchang, who was standing not far away, immediately said: "Then go down, there is no problem on our side."
Not to be outdone, Lao Wen said, "There is no problem with our side, we are ready and can leave at any time."
More than 20 people stood out from the two diving teams at once.
Lu Ao said: "You don't need so many, just choose a veteran who is cautious, and go down to about five."
Head Gu was afraid that he would not consider himself a sinner, so he said majestically from the side: "The situation underneath is still uncertain. If it is really a shipwreck, too many people go down, and I am afraid that it will damage the relevant ruins."
No one dared to refute his words, but some of the diving team members showed unconvinced expressions on their faces.
"That's true." Xiang Xingchang immediately said, "The three of us will definitely go down, and there are still two places left. How about sending one of our teams?"
This method is very fair, Lao Wen has nothing to say, so he just nodded, "Okay, I will follow your method."
Lu Ao went to put on his diving suit and brought his underwater camera.
Here, he dives at his best.
Both Lao Wen and Xiang Xingchang are very clear about this point. If the team members have heard of it, they dare not say anything at the moment, but just help them check their equipment.
The five jumped into the water like dumplings.
Almost in the blink of an eye, they dived to a depth of more than ten meters.
Lu Ao felt that they were too excited and rushed underwater too fast, so he gestured to them to pay attention to safety and slow down.
Only then did Lao Wen and Xiang Xingchang feel the danger just now, their hearts shivered, and they almost broke out in a cold sweat.
With Lu Ao's reminder, everyone didn't dare to take any more risks, and dived cautiously and cautiously at the usual speed.
Everyone is a veteran, and the depth of more than 100 meters is not a big deal strictly. It is just a matter of overcoming darkness and fear and making good use of equipment. This depth is still very safe.
Lu Ao brought people with him, and the speed of the dive was slower this time. The whole process took more than 40 minutes.
When they finally dived to the bottom of the sea, the diving watch worn by Lu Ao showed that they had reached 160 meters underwater.
Lu Ao shone the flashlight in front of him and gestured for everyone to spread out and search.
They brought tools today, and each of them took a half-meter-long iron hook and a metal detector, and gently probed into the mud, and they probably could see something.
This ship is quite big, the bottom of the sea is too dark, and the range of light from the flashlight is limited. Except for Lu Ao, the other four people can't see it. Why is there the outline of a sunken ship in this place?
Lu Ao didn't explain, and gently swam to the place he had hoped for a long time ago, and hooked it with the iron hook in his hand.
He didn't intend to hook something the first time, who knew that as soon as the hook was stretched out, he immediately felt something underneath.
Not only are there things, but they are also very large.
Lu Ao shook the flashlight, and the beam of light made a pattern, attracting the rest of the people.
Signing to them that there is something underneath, Lu Ao gently scraped away the mud below with an iron hook and showed it to them.
There is something!
Xiang Xingchang hurriedly took out his video camera to record.
Seeing his movements, Lao Wen also hurried to take out the video camera tied behind him.
The remaining two team members swam over to help Lu Ao push the mud away.
The silt wasn't too heavy, and the iron hooks were pretty easy to use. After a while, they pulled away a huge pile of silt.
After the water became clear again, several people saw something under the mud.
It was a piece of wood.
The wood was large and smooth, looking a bit like the side bottom of a boat.
Except for Lu Ao, no one expected things to go so smoothly.
They continued to scrape away the mud.
The silt was piled up on the hull of the ship. It had been piled up for an unknown amount of time. It was a thick layer. When touched lightly, the water became cloudy.
Everyone can't care about other things.
After digging to the back, they felt that the iron hook was not easy to use, so they simply discarded the iron hook, instead of using their hands directly, they used their hands to push the mud away.
Everyone moved very quickly. After more than ten minutes, they cleared the mud of three or four square meters.
The outline of the hull is already obvious.
Under the light of the flashlight, they can even see the wooden grain on the hull.
Even after being in the water for so long, the ship has not completely decayed.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at everything in front of them.
It is unimaginable that they found the sunken ship so easily.
As the only person who used a full-face mask and wore a communicator, Lu Ao turned on the communicator after confirming that this was a shipwreck, and said to the people on board, "We found the shipwreck."
As soon as he said this, there was a murmur in the earphones.
The voice talking to him was shocked, "What?! What you said is true?!"
"It's absolutely true, this is a wooden boat." Lu Ao said calmly, "Let's clear out an area to take pictures first. We'll come up later."
"Wait a minute! Ah—come on everyone, Mr. Lu and the others really found the sunken ship!"
There was cheering in Lu Ao's ears instantly, and the buzzing made him have a headache.
But he still can't avoid it.
Soon, Captain Gu's steady voice came, "How is the underwater situation now?"
"We found the ruins of the shipwreck, which is currently being cleaned up. The specific situation is still unclear. If you are in a hurry, you can directly take the submersible down."
"The submersible has not been adjusted yet, and it will not be able to enter the water for the second time in a short time. I will wait for you to come back."
"Okay, let's clean it up again, take some photos and then come up slowly. Because the speed of going up is slow, we need about two hours."
"Don't worry, safety is the most important thing."
After a brief conversation between the two parties, Lu Ao took Xiang Xingchang and the others to clean up.
While cleaning the ship, they gradually discovered that the mud was not as barren as they thought.
All kinds of marine life are active inside, such as shrimps, crabs, fish, sea cucumbers, jellyfish... One of the team members even almost touched an eel hidden in the mud, and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The ship does not know how long it has sunk here, and it provides a habitat for many marine life.
Generations of marine life have reproduced here, leaving behind obvious historical relics and destroying the hull.
These things should be judged and protected by professional archaeologists.
Lu Ao and the others are not professionals. After clearing out an area and confirming that this is the location of the sunken ship, they took enough photos as evidence and began to slowly float up.
Song Zhou had already come over with a lunch box, and Lu Ao heard the movement.
Lu Ao turned off the engine, stopped the boat, and ran to the lounge to find him.
Song Zhou didn't say anything, and raised his head slightly, "Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"Oh." Lu Ao went out, didn't bother to turn on the drinking water, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and quietly stretched out his hand.
A white cloud quickly rushed over the ship, and it began to rain over the ship.
Lu Ao stretched out his hand, washed his hands a few times, and pushed the cloud with his power to make it go to another place.
Song Zhou watched him being lazy, and handed him a tissue to wipe his hands, "Have you been busy all afternoon?"
"Fortunately, I didn't come here to dive until after three o'clock." Lu Ao said, "Diving is not very tiring, and I feel okay."
"What do the people over there say, are you still going tomorrow?"
"It's one more day, I guess the sunken ship will be found tomorrow." Lu Ao promised, "Whether I can find the sunken ship tomorrow, I will go back."
"It's not that you are not allowed to help." Song Zhou pondered, "Although you have a deep connection with human beings, it is not enough to keep helping like this. Your existence has already affected China's luck."
Lu Ao was startled, his hands froze, and he looked up at him in shock, "So serious?"
"Do you think the last dragon in this world is rare?"
"Oh." Lu Ao picked up a chicken wing and asked carefully, "Then is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"It's a bad thing for you, but it may not be good for Huaxia. Seeing results will pay off. If you save effort here, you will always have to make up for it in other places in the future. It won't be easy."

What is salvageable cultural relics?
Lu Ao frowned, "How could the salvage of cultural relics be related to the fate of the country as a whole? Isn't this a particularly important cultural relic?"
"Cultural relics are not particularly important, but this may promote the transformation of Huaguo, from focusing on land resources to developing oceans." Song Zhou asked, "You don't think that the leader of the team will personally lead the team to salvage the sunken ship. What's wrong? ?”
Lu Ao hesitated, "Didn't they just happen to be on duty at sea, and come here to carry out missions nearby?"
"How much time does it take for the head of a regiment to bring dozens of soldiers over to do missions?"
Lu Ao was asked.
It's not that he didn't feel that something was wrong before, but the other party was from Captain Gu, so there was nothing suspicious about it.

Life on the boat was still quite boring, but there were only the two of them on the boat. They watched the stars and the moon, fished and chatted, and they didn't feel that time was hard.
Early the next morning, after the two of them washed up, Song Zhou went to the cafeteria in their small courtyard to have breakfast and came back.
Fried eggs, steamed stuffed buns, soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, rice rolls, fried noodles, side dishes... There are many kinds of dishes brought back from Songzhou, and all breakfasts are still steaming.
The sea in the morning is a bit cold, and Lu Ao feels very comfortable to eat such a meal.
After breakfast, Song Zhou went to work with the food box, while Lu Ao drove the boat back to Captain Gu and the others.
Head Gu and the others adjusted the submersible over overnight, and the submersible has gone down for a round now.
They still couldn't find the location of the wreck, but they saw more artifacts scattered on the sea floor.
These cultural relics are scattered, and they can't recover them even if they see them with submersibles alone.
A large number of cultural relics have been able to prove that a tragedy must have occurred here.
It's just that everyone doesn't know where the tragedy happened, and what caused the tragedy.
Seeing Lu Ao, Xiao Du called him from a distance, "Brother Lu, have you had breakfast? Today we eat fried rice noodles, and we left fried eggs for you, would you like some?"
"No, I've already eaten, you can eat."
While chatting, Lu Ao's boat approached the big boat.
Xiao Du, Xiang Xingchang and others hurried over to help him tow the boat up.
Captain Gu appeared on the deck and raised his hand to greet him, "Lu Ao, come and take a look, and guess where our shipwreck is?"
"Wait a minute." Lu Ao walked over to him and asked, "Have you explored the seabed these two days?"
"Yes, there are sonar imaging data, but only the general terrain of the seabed can be seen, and details such as sunken ships and cultural relics cannot be displayed."

Head Gu immediately made a decision, "Then let's try this location first, and if it doesn't work, we'll explore another location."
"Let's go and have a look first." Lu Ao said, "Give me a diving suit, and I'll go down in person."
"Why don't you go down in a submersible today? Let's save some time?"
When a person dives, basically the whole body is exposed to the sea water.
The deeper the dive, the greater the pressure on the person. In the seabed of more than 100 meters, the human lungs may shrink extremely small.
In order to prevent diver's disease, each diver needs to adjust his speed when ascending, and ascend slowly, even if it takes two hours, five hours, or even a day.
Lu Ao went down, in order not to arouse suspicion, he needed at least two hours.
And if you use a submersible, about 8 or [-] minutes is enough.
The people in the submersible don't have to think about the troubles caused by seawater pressure to the human body, and the dive and rise are very fast.
Lu Ao didn't object.
Soon, Captain Gu asked people to drive the boat to the place designated by Lu Ao, and he sent a professional operator and an archaeological expert to accompany Lu Ao down there.
The entire dive was videotaped this time, so there is no need to rely on divers' dictation as yesterday, and everyone will slowly imagine.
A small submersible enters the water.
Lu Ao and the others dived at a speed of more than 1 meters per minute.

"Teacher Lu, there are still ten meters left."
"Go on, control it, don't go down to the bottom, I suspect there is something in the mud."
"No problem." The operator steered the submersible down slowly.
The archaeologist stared at the silt outside, disappointed, "Are there traces of antiques here? Why is it all silt?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's under the mud?" Lu Ao asked the operator, "Can you look at the mud below?"

"no problem."
Lu Ao stared at the silt covering the seabed in front of him, and said, "Collect some samples first."
"Yes, we can analyze the composition of the silt when we go back later, maybe we can find clues to the sunken ship."
The operator nodded, manipulated the submersible, scooped up some of the silt and seawater below, and received it into the sampling box.
Lu Ao watched him finish the operation, and said, "Move five meters southwest, and take another sample."
The operator didn't ask any questions, and followed his instructions, and moved directly to the southwest for another harvest.
Lu Ao: "Further to the southwest, it's still five meters."
"Yes."
"To the east, three meters."
"Yes."
"Further east, one meter."
"Yes."
The archaeologists listened to Lu Ao's instructions and were at a loss, "What are we doing?"
"I seem to see the outline of the sunken ship, if there is really a sunken ship here." Lu Ao narrowed his eyes, "One meter to the south."

The operator was refreshed, but he didn't expect it to be really interesting.
Lu Ao said: "Are there any other lights? Turn on a brighter light to see."
"Yes! Just wait a moment."
The operator didn't care about saving energy, and directly turned on the headlights to illuminate the seabed as bright as day.
In front of them, an obvious undulating outline can roughly tell that there is a huge thing buried below. This thing may be a sunken ship, or it may be the bones of a whale. In short, it must not be a rock on the seabed.

They originally wanted to come down to do a routine exploration, but they didn't expect that when Lu Ao said there was something down there, there really was something there.
This is also amazing!
The operator looked at Lu Ao with a bit of admiration in his eyes, and he finally understood why everyone admired Lu Ao's luck so much.
No, it's not a matter of luck.
No matter how lucky a person is, it is impossible to say that something is there. The operator is more willing to believe that this is his unique analytical ability.
A person with strong analytical and inductive abilities can naturally find the answer from clues.
Both the operator and the archaeologists took 360-degree shots of the area.
The two of them kept the information well before preparing to float up.
Compared with diving, they surfaced faster. It took only 5 minutes for their submersible to float to the surface.
The crew on the ship hurriedly hoisted their submersible to the deck with a crane.
The operator turned on the submersible, and as soon as he showed up, he couldn't wait to say: "There is something under the water, we seem to have found the sunken ship!"
"what?!"
"real or fake?"
"Just under our ship?"
"Yes, it's just under our ship. The sunken ship may have been buried by mud, and a more obvious outline has been bulged out. We all took videos, so you can take a look together. By the way, we also took samples."
The operator clenched his fists excitedly, "Let me first show you the samples we collected."
As he spoke, he operated the submersible to send out the samples.
Soon someone took these samples back to the cabin for analysis.
Head Gu received the news, strode out, and asked dignifiedly, "What's going on?"
"Reporting to the head, we seem to have found traces of the sunken ship!"
"Have you found the real thing? Let me see."
"Report, currently only video."
Lu Ao pulled out the submersible, and added next to him, "I just looked at the outline, and it feels quite obvious. We need to dive manually and confirm again."
Xiang Xingchang, who was standing not far away, immediately said: "Then go down, there is no problem on our side."
Not to be outdone, Lao Wen said, "There is no problem with our side, we are ready and can leave at any time."
More than 20 people stood out from the two diving teams at once.
Lu Ao said: "You don't need so many, just choose a veteran who is cautious, and go down to about five."
Head Gu was afraid that he would not consider himself a sinner, so he said majestically from the side: "The situation underneath is still uncertain. If it is really a shipwreck, too many people go down, and I am afraid that it will damage the relevant ruins."
No one dared to refute his words, but some of the diving team members showed unconvinced expressions on their faces.
"That's true." Xiang Xingchang immediately said, "The three of us will definitely go down, and there are still two places left. How about sending one of our teams?"
This method is very fair, Lao Wen has nothing to say, so he just nodded, "Okay, I will follow your method."
Lu Ao went to put on his diving suit and brought his underwater camera.
Here, he dives at his best.
Both Lao Wen and Xiang Xingchang are very clear about this point. If the team members have heard of it, they dare not say anything at the moment, but just help them check their equipment.
The five jumped into the water like dumplings.
Almost in the blink of an eye, they dived to a depth of more than ten meters.
Lu Ao felt that they were too excited and rushed underwater too fast, so he gestured to them to pay attention to safety and slow down.
Only then did Lao Wen and Xiang Xingchang feel the danger just now, their hearts shivered, and they almost broke out in a cold sweat.
With Lu Ao's reminder, everyone didn't dare to take any more risks, and dived cautiously and cautiously at the usual speed.
Everyone is a veteran, and the depth of more than 100 meters is not a big deal strictly. It is just a matter of overcoming darkness and fear and making good use of equipment. This depth is still very safe.
Lu Ao brought people with him, and the speed of the dive was slower this time. The whole process took more than 40 minutes.
When they finally dived to the bottom of the sea, the diving watch worn by Lu Ao showed that they had reached 160 meters underwater.
Lu Ao shone the flashlight in front of him and gestured for everyone to spread out and search.
They brought tools today, and each of them took a half-meter-long iron hook and a metal detector, and gently probed into the mud, and they probably could see something.
This ship is quite big, the bottom of the sea is too dark, and the range of light from the flashlight is limited. Except for Lu Ao, the other four people can't see it. Why is there the outline of a sunken ship in this place?
Lu Ao didn't explain, and gently swam to the place he had hoped for a long time ago, and hooked it with the iron hook in his hand.
He didn't intend to hook something the first time, who knew that as soon as the hook was stretched out, he immediately felt something underneath.
Not only are there things, but they are also very large.
Lu Ao shook the flashlight, and the beam of light made a pattern, attracting the rest of the people.
Signing to them that there is something underneath, Lu Ao gently scraped away the mud below with an iron hook and showed it to them.
There is something!
Xiang Xingchang hurriedly took out his video camera to record.
Seeing his movements, Lao Wen also hurried to take out the video camera tied behind him.
The remaining two team members swam over to help Lu Ao push the mud away.
The silt wasn't too heavy, and the iron hooks were pretty easy to use. After a while, they pulled away a huge pile of silt.
After the water became clear again, several people saw something under the mud.
It was a piece of wood.
The wood was large and smooth, looking a bit like the side bottom of a boat.
Except for Lu Ao, no one expected things to go so smoothly.
They continued to scrape away the mud.
The silt was piled up on the hull of the ship. It had been piled up for an unknown amount of time. It was a thick layer. When touched lightly, the water became cloudy.
Everyone can't care about other things.
After digging to the back, they felt that the iron hook was not easy to use, so they simply discarded the iron hook, instead of using their hands directly, they used their hands to push the mud away.
Everyone moved very quickly. After more than ten minutes, they cleared the mud of three or four square meters.
The outline of the hull is already obvious.
Under the light of the flashlight, they can even see the wooden grain on the hull.
Even after being in the water for so long, the ship has not completely decayed.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at everything in front of them.
It is unimaginable that they found the sunken ship so easily.
As the only person who used a full-face mask and wore a communicator, Lu Ao turned on the communicator after confirming that this was a shipwreck, and said to the people on board, "We found the shipwreck."
As soon as he said this, there was a murmur in the earphones.
The voice talking to him was shocked, "What?! What you said is true?!"
"It's absolutely true, this is a wooden boat." Lu Ao said calmly, "Let's clear out an area to take pictures first. We'll come up later."
"Wait a minute! Ah—come on everyone, Mr. Lu and the others really found the sunken ship!"
There was cheering in Lu Ao's ears instantly, and the buzzing made him have a headache.
But he still can't avoid it.
Soon, Captain Gu's steady voice came, "How is the underwater situation now?"
"We found the ruins of the shipwreck, which is currently being cleaned up. The specific situation is still unclear. If you are in a hurry, you can directly take the submersible down."
"The submersible has not been adjusted yet, and it will not be able to enter the water for the second time in a short time. I will wait for you to come back."
"Okay, let's clean it up again, take some photos and then come up slowly. Because the speed of going up is slow, we need about two hours."
"Don't worry, safety is the most important thing."
After a brief conversation between the two parties, Lu Ao took Xiang Xingchang and the others to clean up.
While cleaning the ship, they gradually discovered that the mud was not as barren as they thought.
All kinds of marine life are active inside, such as shrimps, crabs, fish, sea cucumbers, jellyfish... One of the team members even almost touched an eel hidden in the mud, and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The ship does not know how long it has sunk here, and it provides a habitat for many marine life.
Generations of marine life have reproduced here, leaving behind obvious historical relics and destroying the hull.
These things should be judged and protected by professional archaeologists.
Lu Ao and the others are not professionals. After clearing out an area and confirming that this is the location of the sunken ship, they took enough photos as evidence and began to slowly float up.
