Fisherman's Secret

Fang Jing took three steps in parallel, ran to the computer room, and asked impatiently, "What did you find?"

Ding Xi pointed to a coordinate on the screen and showed him: "The sonar scan shows that there are a large number of foreign objects on the seabed, and the analysis data is suspected to be a large number of metal components."

Fang Jing looked at the strange-shaped protrusions on the display screen that were clearly different from other terrains on the seafloor. It showed that there must be a huge object buried underneath. Such a large object made of metal is very likely to be a shipwreck. Of course, it may also be a shipwreck. Scrap steel and the like.

"It's a pity that the underwater robot equipped on our ship can't go to such a deep seabed, and can't take photos of such a deep seabed." Ding Xi was quite regretful.

Fang Jing is very generous as the boss and has a good personality. If there is anything to be picky about, it is that he is too poor. Both the salvaged ship and the equipment on the ship are a bit outdated. Of course, this is only for professional deep-sea treasures. For expeditions, Alicia's configuration is completely sufficient for salvaging goods in the offshore.

In short, everything can only be determined after the divers go down to measure.

"I'll go down and have a look." Fang Jing regained his energy and immediately ran to the deck to recruit his friends.

As soon as they heard that there was finally a job to do, the soldiers who spent every day growing mushrooms on the boat were as excited as Fang Jing. They put on their newly purchased decompression diving suits and couldn't wait to go into the water to investigate.

They have already heard that Fang Jing is very generous as a boss. As long as he can get a valuable boat, he will never pay a lot of bonuses. To paraphrase the popular saying now, if the boss eats meat, they can at least mix with it .

I haven't seen that brat Xiao Ze, but because he followed Fang Jing earlier, Lu Yang suffered such serious injuries last year that he almost couldn't save him. I borrowed it, and it is said that I have almost paid it back now.

This made the brothers who became security guards envious after retiring from the army.

That's right, the security company's security salary is quite high, but when compared with Xiao Ze, it is instantly reduced to scum.Although the risk factor of going to sea is a bit high, you can make a lot of money, and you are free. When there is no boat to fish, you can go on vacation for a few months, and you can earn a lot of money.It is said that the small boss doesn't care if he wants to pick up some extra money during the holidays, as long as people can arrive when the boat is being fished.

This is simply the ideal job.

Of course, this is only limited to the small boss's boat. Some of their comrades also go to sea with others after retiring, and the treatment is not so good.

Fang Jing never thought that he would become the No. 1 good boss in the eyes of the employees. All his attention is now attracted by the protruding foreign object suspected to be a sunken ship under the sea.

After drifting at sea for more than two months and sifting through so many seabed garbage, I finally found something that looked reliable.

Of the six sets of decompression and water-reducing suits, Fang Jing and Cen Jiu got two sets, Lu Yang and the three new recruits got the remaining four sets, and Liu Dingxi and Xiao Ze were on board the boat.

This is a deep sea area. After diving for a few minutes, the surrounding area is getting darker and darker, and the sun can't shine in. It can only be illuminated by the headlights worn on the head.

After diving nearly [-] meters without turning on the water bubbles, the effect of the decompression diving suit began to decline. I could clearly feel the pressure of the surrounding seawater increasing. My ears were full of tinnitus, and my forehead twitched. of.

Fang Jing thinks that a better underwater robot should be added to the ship in the future. The preliminary work of this kind of exploration can be completed by underwater robots, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources.

His conventional deep-sea salvage equipment is still too little, and the current equipment can barely salvage the waters above [-] meters. A shipwreck is totally out of the question.

The dark seabed is actually not beautiful, even a bit scary. It is pitch black all around, and occasionally pass by strange deep sea creatures passing by. If there is no humanoid radar like Cen Jiu, maybe they have not waited to see it. The sinking ship crashed into the mouth of an unknown creature in the deep sea for food—this was no joke, during the time they entered the water, Cen Jiu had led them vigilantly to avoid at least three waves of large mollusk attacks.

As they dived deeper, the pressure of the seawater increased, and after diving for a distance of nearly tens of meters, Fang Jing felt that he had almost reached his limit.His chest began to feel stuffy, and his eardrums swelled violently. Even though he kept his mouth open, it was as if there were countless cicadas chirping in his ears—the feeling was much more uncomfortable than that, and his head would explode.

The situation of the other few people was not much better than him. Just when Fang Jing was considering whether to return to the boat first, and when he and Cen Jiu avoided the crowd and went into the water for investigation at night, Cen Jiu, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and shook his head. The headlights on the camera shone forward to the left.

The lighting range of underwater lighting is very small, and can only illuminate a distance of a few meters ahead.Fang Jing followed Cen Jiu's gaze and looked forward - a huge shadow finally appeared indistinctly in front of him, and before he knew it, they had already reached the bottom of the sea.

Fang Jing lifted his spirits, such a huge shadow could never be a mountain of rubbish, this time it seems that they really found the right place.

He checked the scale of the oxygen cylinder, and it could support them to dive to the bottom of the sea for another four or ten minutes.

He turned around, gestured to Lu Yang and the others, and asked about their situation. If anyone couldn't hold on, they should go back to the sea first.

If there were only him and Cen Jiu, he would be able to summon Shui Bubble, and his work efficiency would be even higher.

Probably because they realized that the sinking ship might be under the water not far ahead, everyone was very excited and said that they could hold on for a while. Lu Yang even took the lead and swam forward.

Fang Jing: "..."

For the first time, he discovered that it turns out that employees' enthusiasm is too high and sometimes it is really a troublesome thing!

Fang Jing made the right bet this time!

After swimming forward for a few meters, the outline of the shadow became clearer and clearer, and the shape of the bow of the ship could be clearly seen from Fang Jing's angle.

This is a sunken ship that can no longer escape.

However, even so, Fang Jing was not too excited. After all, there are too many sunken ships under the sea. It is not certain whether this is the golden rose treasure ship that he has been tracking!It may also be just an ordinary fishing boat that sank into the sea by accident—it looks like an old-fashioned old fishing boat in appearance.

It has been underwater for some years, and the rusty bow is densely covered with barnacles. If someone with trypophobia sees this, his head will explode.

The whole fishing boat turned sideways, the left half of the hull sank in the seabed sand, and the other half of the hull was completely exposed to the sea water, exposing the side-utility gun bay, and the dark muzzle had already been occupied by barnacles, becoming A paradise for underwater creatures.

Fang Jing walked around the sunken ship, his heart pounding. He had a hunch that this fishing boat might be the golden rose treasure boat he had been tracking. Modern fishing boats generally do not install fire towers on board. .

It's a pity that he is wearing duck pudding, otherwise you can know it by touching it.

At this time, there was only half an hour left on the scale in the oxygen cylinder, and they hadn't entered the sunken ship to investigate.

This time it was Lu Yang and the others who took the lead. The fire bag tower on the side of the ship meant that there must be gunpowder magazines and fire bag bombs on board. Cen Jiu was good at fighting with cold weapons, but the fire bag and bow alone It is obviously more reliable to hand over the weapons to soldiers like Lu Yang and the others.

Fang Jing and Cen Jiu followed Lu Yang cautiously and swam up from the deck to the cabin.

This should be a crew cabin. There are two canopy beds fixed to the walls on both sides of the cabin, but because they have been soaked in seawater for too long, they are already rusty, and one of the canopy bed brackets even fell off. in a small cabin.When Fang Jingyou passed by, he almost stumbled because there were too many people and the space was too small.

This small room was clear at a glance, and it was completely worthless to explore. Soon, Fang Jing and the others swam to the next cabin.

I searched several cabins and found nothing special. Except for the fire bag tower, it was just an ordinary fishing boat. But thinking about the era when the fishing boat went to sea, almost the whole world was involved in it either actively or passively. In the midst of the flames of war, it seems understandable for ships going out to sea to protect themselves by installing several fire towers.

At that time, the transport ships used to transport war materials were not only equipped with firepower weapons on board, but also had special warship escorts!

Fang Jing was a little disappointed. Could it be that before the ship sank, the people on board had taken away the treasure in advance, abandoned the ship and left?

After working for several months and being kidnapped, it would be a shame if I could only get an empty boat.

However, Fang Jing's worries soon ceased to be a problem.

Lu Yang led them to avoid the gunpowder cabin, trying to find a way to open the door of the freezer.

The area of ​​the freezer is small, and several freezers placed in the room were already deformed by the impact of the shipwreck. Cen Jiu showed his special skills in finding organs at this time. Under the scrap iron freezer, near the corner of the wall, a hidden door was found.

As a string of blisters rose, the heavy secret door was opened, and what Fang Jing saw was a huge dark room.

He said that this fishing boat looks weird, obviously from the outside, it is a fishing boat with a considerable tonnage, and the distribution of cabins is also very reasonable, but each cabin is very small, and the ceiling is too low, compressing all kinds of space To the extreme, the actual usable space is less than two-thirds, and the original extra space is used here.

This is probably the dark room where those neon people smuggled treasure!

Fang Jing cleverly found a steel pipe and propped up the secret door. He didn't want to be trapped on the seabed at a depth of more than [-] meters because the darkroom door was accidentally closed when they searched the darkroom.

This dark room is full of sealed boxes of various sizes, it is really full, there is not even a single gap.

Faced with this pile of boxes, Fang Jing expressed that he was at a loss - the stacking was too neat and skillful, and he had a feeling that if he picked one out with cheap hands, the boxes would definitely smash him up and bury him. premonition.

But looking at such a pile of treasure mountains, he didn't know what was inside, which made him feel as if he was being scratched and scratched in his heart. It was really unbearable.

Cen Jiu seemed to see his entanglement, and swam up, touched here, touched there, and then forcibly picked out a small box from the mountain of boxes that were neatly placed without a single seam, and the whole box He didn't move at all, and Fang Jing's eyes suddenly turned into stars, and he looked at Cen Jiu with enthusiasm and admiration.

Of course, Fang Jing looked at Cen Jiu with enthusiasm before, but it seems to be even more enthusiastic today.

At this time, the scale of the oxygen cylinder indicated only 15 minutes. Fang Jing made a gesture, indicating that he should go back to the boat first, and this dive would come to an end for the time being.

Everyone agreed with this wise decision.

So Fang Qin pulled out the steel bar and watched the door of the darkroom slowly close in front of him. Don't ask him why a barnacle that has been abandoned for decades and has already been taken over by barnacles has become his own. The shipwreck in the lair of breeding offspring, why is a hidden door mechanism still usable?

Fang Jing said that he did not understand the world of Little Neon.

Xiao Ze and Ding Xi were synchronously receiving the video transmitted from Fang Jing and the others on the boat. Because of the old equipment, the video was not very clear, but it was generally clear.

At the beginning, the two were also a little disappointed, thinking it was just an ordinary sunken fishing boat, Xiao Ze even found time to run to the deck to touch a cigarette and put it in his mouth - because there were so many equipment on the tugboat, and sometimes even because of going out to sea. Because of the distance, a few more barrels of fuel will be stored on board. Fang Jing declared that smoking is absolutely prohibited on board at the very beginning.

This is a major matter related to everyone's life and safety, and everyone consciously abides by it. Only occasionally when the craving for cigarettes really comes up, will they take a cigarette in their mouths without lighting it and sniffing the smoke to satisfy their cravings, and they all run on the deck.

I really don't understand why they ran to the deck when they didn't even light it up, but since Xiao Ze was the first to do it, everyone tacitly regarded it as an unwritten rule and silently abided by it.

When Xiao Ze realized how stupid this behavior of taking off his pants and farting was, he returned to the computer monitoring room from the deck again, just in time to see the scene where Cen Jiu opened the secret door.

A sealed box full of an entire darkroom.

Xiao Ze only took one look at it, and he knew that it was a material that could still be regarded as advanced in technology even now. It was waterproof, heat-insulated and explosion-proof, and it was the best choice for storing all kinds of treasures, dangerous goods, and illegal exhibits.

Obviously, this fishing boat, which has been eccentric from the beginning, is certainly not cheap to hide it in such a secret way.

This is like the diamond box that will definitely not be filled with cheap glass. Just looking at the material of this box, you know that Fang Jing will probably get a lot of good things this time.

"The little boss is really lucky!" Even Ding Xi put down most of the sea charts he had drawn, and leaned over to look at the box with Xiao Ze, guessing what would be inside.

"Gold." Xiao Ze said, "This thing has been hard currency since ancient times. This box is so high-end, it must be filled with gold."

"The box is so small, it might be an antique." In fact, Ding Xi was also inclined to guess the gold, but since it was a bet, if both of them guessed the same, they would not win or lose.

Both he and Ding Xi vaguely guessed that the purpose of Fang Jing's trip this time must be the golden rose treasure ship.

They are not stupid, no matter what he said to the police at the beginning, but he was kidnapped inexplicably, and not long after that, Fang Jing started to prepare for going to sea, and he knew with his toes that it must be related to that golden rose treasure ship.

Thinking that they might have discovered the wealth that Little Nihong had looted from the old heaven, even Xiao Ze, who has always been calm, became a little excited.

That was the wealth of most of the people in the old Chinese dynasty that was seized during the Little Neon War!It is said that nearly [-] tons of gold alone were stolen. This is only the old Chinese dynasty, and there are other countries in Southeast Asia, with countless wealth.

When Fang Jing and the others returned to the boat with the box in their arms, everyone stared at the box brightly, as if they wanted to burn through this small box.

Fang Jing: "?!!"

"Little boss, quickly open it and have a look." Someone couldn't help urging.

"That's right. After several months of floating in the sea, I finally got something. Open it and see what it is."

Even Cen Jiu and Xiao Ze looked at Fang Jing... the box in his hand with passionate eyes. Although the two of them didn't say anything, their eyes had already betrayed everything.

Fang Jing himself was extremely curious, wishing to know what was inside the box right away.He took the box and looked over and over for a long time, but he couldn't find a way to open it.

The whole box is like a whole, there is not even a seam, it is completely sealed, and there is not even a keyhole.

Everyone was disappointed.

"Just open it?" Cen Jiu wondered.

Fang Jing hesitated: "No way, it has been preserved in good condition on the seabed for so many years, and it is estimated that it cannot be opened easily with external force, or else the pressure of seawater alone would have destroyed the box—"

With a "click", the box opened.

Nine people and eighteen eyes all looked at the box, and then everyone had a lying face.

It turned out to be a box of books!

A box of dilapidated old books with curled edges and yellowed paper, like old books that will weather at any time!

Eight of the nine people had disappointed expressions on their faces.

Especially Xiao Ze and Ding Xi, with resentful expressions on their faces.Ding Xi took out a pink note from his wallet and handed it to Fang Jing.

Fang Jing: "?!!"

Why do you want to give him money?

Xiao Ze: "Deduct 100 yuan from my salary."

Fang Jing was confused, what is the situation?

Not only Fang Jing, but the others also had a confused expression, especially Lu Yang, who touched his nose, moved up to Ding Xi, and said aggrievedly: "Xiaoxi, I don't have any cigarette money this month!"

Ding Xi glanced at him, unmoved: "Smoking is harmful to your health." He turned his gaze to Fang Jing again, and explained, "I made a bet with Xiao Ze just now, guess what is in the box, he guesses gold, I guess antiques , As a result, both of us lost, and of course the banker won.”

Fang Jing: "..."

He looked at the torn book inside and raised his eyebrows: "That might be."

As he spoke, he took out the magnifying glass from the drawer, looked at the broken book on the top several times, and then calmly returned the 100 yuan he had just bought to Ding Xi.

"You win, and the money will be returned to you."

Ding Xi: "?!!"

"This is the only copy of "Miscellaneous Notes of the Southern Tang Dynasty". It is said that it has been lost for a long time. This kind of precious ancient book is more precious than gold."

Crowd: ...

Although I don't understand it, I feel very tall.

But Fang Jing obviously didn't intend to explain any more. He took out a pair of thin rubber gloves from the drawer, put them on his hands, and carefully removed the topmost broken book. Several old books.

Flipping through the title of the book, Fang Jing suddenly collapsed.

"Miscellaneous Notes of the Southern Tang Dynasty", "Mingshu Tangshu·Criminal Law", "Qi Dynasty Yiwenzhi"...

There are actually eight copies of this kind of peerless rare book, an ancient book that has been lost long ago, in this small box!

Not to mention gold, even a box of diamonds is not worth as much as these broken books!

Orphan, Orphan, Orphan!

Do you know what an orphan means?It is unique, the only one left in this world!

Fang Jing was speechless for a long time.

Thinking that there was an entire darkroom in that shipwreck filled with such sealed boxes, Fang Jing felt a little uncomfortable.
