Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

All the personnel of the company and the salvage team were in place. After Zhao An came over to hold a brief ceremony,

Then he took the floating crane and the salvage boat out to sea.

The floating crane was named Dali by Zhao An, with Zhou Liangyu as the captain, leading his floating crane team,

The salvage ship was named Changfeng, with Wang Guangxu as the captain, leading the salvage crew and diving team.

The two ships were also filled with fuel and supplies. It would take at least ten days to go to sea, and it would take even more time on high seas.

On the boundless blue sea, the luxurious Serenity, like an elegant and luxurious general, leads two fully armed soldiers on a journey to conquer the ocean.

The crew members of the Changfeng ship gathered on the deck, their faces filled with excitement of going to sea.

They used to rely on the sea for food, but after being bought by Zhao An, they had fixed jobs and sea allowances, at least their treatment and income were much better than before.

But some people still have doubts: "Tell me, this Boss Zhao paid such a high price to invite us to go fishing in the sea. Is this salary reliable?"

It’s no wonder these days, it’s not uncommon for the work to be easy but the wages to be hard to get.

The wages are in the hands of the boss, even making things difficult for you is enough for you.

Someone next to him laughed at him and said: "This Mr. Zhao looks like a big boss with a lot of money and wealth, so he will pay you two wages?"

The man still said: "Who knows if it's true or not, some bosses are the best at packaging themselves,

If you say you are invincible in the world, if you do it you will be powerless.

When it comes time to pay wages, delays play tricks..."

"Ah, ah, ah," Fan Yunting came over to comfort him, "Dunima hasn't started working yet, are you thinking about salary?

The boss's money does not come from the wind. First of all, you have to help the boss earn money, and then let's talk about wages! "

The man laughed and said, "Leader Fan, that's not what I meant!"

Fan Yunting stared and said: "That's not what you mean, then what do you mean? You have only been abroad for a few hours, and you are the one who talks the most nonsense.

See that yacht up ahead?A sea castle worth more than one billion yuan,

You can check online and you will know that if a yacht like this is leased, the rent alone will cost 1000 million a week.

If you think about it, it will cost you eight thousand dollars? "

The man couldn't help saying: "Why is the yacht so expensive, is it inlaid with gold?"

"Your uncle!" Fan Yunting cursed and said, "Don't sway the morale of the army by talking about the horse,

It's hard for our group of people to return to their old jobs, and we all count on being able to support our family with Mr. Zhao.

I hear you chatter again, be careful I throw you down to feed the sharks! ! ! "

The first target chosen by Zhao An was Nanyang, which is more than 1800 kilometers away from Huaxia.

According to Wikipedia, outside the Huaxia Sea, between the Philippines-Guam-Palau, there is a heart-shaped area that is the area of ​​the high seas.

And Zhao An also found dozens of sunken ancient shipwrecks in this area, from the Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the Song and Ming dynasties, maritime trade was developed, and the connection with Nanyang was also very close, and this area was also a high-incidence area for typhoons.

It is quite normal to have a shipwreck.

After four days of sailing, the fleet finally arrived at the first destination - Palau Ridge.

Although the name is Palau Ridge, this area still belongs to the high seas area.

Zhao An gave an order to the Changfeng on the radio: "The divers are ready to go into the water!"

There are no shipwrecks in this water area, and the water depth is only more than 20 meters. The sea water is so clear that you can see the coral reefs.

Zhao An did this to salvage the previous exercise, to test the ability of the divers, and also because he wanted to play.

After receiving the feedback from the Changfeng, Zhao An ordered again: "Now the drill before salvage begins,

There are a lot of fish, shrimp and shellfish in the sea below. The divers bring their own equipment, and each person must fish out at least 10 kilograms of seafood.

Remember, the more the merrier! "

The divers are a little confused, isn't it fishing for sunken ships at sea, why did they switch to fishing?

Fan Yunting had no doubts, and ordered: "Don't talk nonsense, get into the water!"

The team members put on their protective gear and went into the water with their backs.

Zhao An also took Gao Qiang Wang Bing, released the kayak on the Tranquility, and brought a diving mask and underwater camera himself, and jumped into the water with a 'plop'.

The Kyushu-Palau Ridge, the remnant island arc of the Philippine Sea plate, and the stamping of the plate have formed the unique submarine landform and environment in this area.

And the sea water here is really too clear, there is no polluted water quality, plus the colorful coral reefs on the seabed,

Together they form a unique spectacle.

Zhao An has never systematically learned diving techniques, but his super physical fitness allows him to be as comfortable as a fish in the water without the need for diving equipment.

As soon as he stepped into the water, Zhao An felt that the water temperature was very suitable, cool but not cold. After diving, Zhao An encountered a group of sea turtles.

This group of sea turtles all have sky-blue back shells, including blue patterns on their limbs, which are agile and unique. Zhao An took a swim with them and took a photo with them, and then looked for the next target.

It is a wraith, a highly ornamental fish, and it is also a top-quality ingredient. The meat is tender and it sells for 2000 a catty in the market.

So Zhao An, who is a big foodie, will let it go when he arrives in this sea area.

Zhao An approached it lightly, and he could see it more clearly. It is a kind of wraith about 8 to 90 centimeters long and weighs about 15 kilograms.

It has bright colors, unique patterns on its face, and looks docile. It doesn't seem to be very afraid of Zhao An's approaching.

Zhao An took a few photos with the camera, then grabbed it, kicked the water vigorously with both feet, and floated to the surface within a few seconds, shouting: "Wang Bing, the fish is here!"

Then with both hands, he threw the Sumei fish onto the kayak.

Su Meiyu struggled clumsily, but was firmly held down by Wang Bing, while Gao Qiang was beside him and said with a laugh, "I ate again at noon!"

Zhao An continued to go into the water, Gao Qiang paddled the kayak, followed Zhao An's figure,

Then Zhao An found another giant clam shell. This giant clam shell weighed about sixty to seventy catties.

Zhao An happily pulled it off the reef, floated up to face Gao Qiang again and said:

"Today's sashimi is available!!!"

Chapter 270

The waters of Palau's waters are clear and pollution-free, especially famous for its underwater landscape, and it is a famous diving holy place.

But it is not irreplaceable, an outbound island tour destination.

And no matter how beautiful it is, not many Chinese people go there.

However, Zhao An's current location, although called the Palau Sea Ridge, is more than 400 nautical miles away from the mainland of Palau and does not belong to Palau's territorial waters.

He fished out a large amount of fish, shrimp and shellfish from the water, filling Gao Qiang and Wang Bing's entire kayak except where they were standing.

Returning to the Serenity with a full load, the crew helped to move all the harvest in,

Tranquility has a special ice machine and an oxygen machine. Gao Qiang directs and stores the harvest by category.

And said loudly: "This is the seafood Mr. Zhao personally caught for everyone. If you don't store it properly, be careful and I will report and deduct your salary!"

Zhao An patted the back of his head and said, "What nonsense, there are too many kinds of seafood in this sea area, I'll fish them for you after I finish eating them!"

Unlike fishing rough jadeite in Myanmar, Zhao An still likes the feeling of fishing in the sea.

After contacting the Changfeng and announcing the end of the drill, Zhao An ordered lunch to be arranged for the divers to relax, and they will start fishing for the first time when they arrive at the location tomorrow.

When Zhao An was diving before, he also saw the performance of the divers. Generally speaking, they were remarkable, and they were all good players.

It's just that it is still in the shallow water area, and I don't know how it will behave in the deep sea.

The fleet continued to sail, and Gao Qiang led Wang Bing to take over the work of the kitchen. There were four ways to eat a wraith fish: steamed, stewed, braised, and sashimi.

After eating, Zhao An and the crew were full of praise, bluntly saying that his superb cooking skills surpassed his military ability.

Gao Qiang couldn't help curling his lips and said, "Soldiers who don't want to be sailors are not good cooks?"

After another day of sailing, they finally arrived at the sea area where the first shipwreck was selected by Zhao An. The sea was calm and the Tranquility dropped its anchor.

Zhao An gave orders to the Changfeng: "The divers are going to go into the water. The first time they go down two, they will check the waters below.

Attention, safety first! "

In the field of vision of Zhao An's real eyes, he could clearly see a shipwreck of the Song Dynasty lying quietly under the waters.

The superstructure of the ship has been completely damaged, but fortunately the cabin and the bottom of the ship are intact enough,

At that time, it may have encountered a typhoon or a military disaster, so it had to sink here.

The ship was loaded with a large amount of goods, most of which were porcelain and a small amount of gold and silver.

The sea here is not very deep, only about 70-80 meters, and the waters are fairly calm. It is very suitable for Zhao An's salvage team, and it is the first time to practice their hands.

Fan Yunting adjusted his diving watch, adjusted the scale on the outer ring to 60 minutes, and then personally took a diver into the water,

The oxygen provided by ordinary oxygen cylinders can allow divers to breathe underwater for 45 minutes.

However, when purchasing, Zhao An requested that everything should be purchased as best as possible.

Therefore, Fan Yunting chose the helium-oxygen mixed gas cylinder, which can ensure that divers can move freely underwater for 60 minutes.

The first inspection didn't take much time. After more than 20 minutes, Fan Yunting brought his team to the surface of the water.

Then excitedly reported to Zhao Anhui on the radio: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, there is indeed a shipwreck below, and I even picked up a piece of porcelain!"

The corner of Zhao An's mouth raised slightly and he said, "Adjust the position of the salvage ship and prepare to salvage valuable items on the sunken ship!"

This news excited all the people on the three ships. They found the shipwreck of the Song Dynasty when they went to sea for the first time.

And there is still a sunken ship with treasures. If the treasures on this ship are salvaged, it will be several small goals at least.

The boss eats meat, and everyone can also drink soup, and their energy is more abundant.

After the salvage ship adjusted its position, Wang Guangxu also calculated the approximate weight of the sunken ship based on the data measured by Fan Yunting.

Fan Yunting also took the divers into the water again, but this time, they brought two sets of buoys, filled the buoys with water, and sank to the bottom of the sea together with the buoys.

The buoy salvage method is a method of salvaging a sunken ship, the purpose of which is to restore the buoyancy of the sunken ship and float to the surface of the water.

By calculating the mass of the sunken ship, we can get how many cubic pontoons are needed,

Moreover, although the ship is made of wood, the hull is still in good condition, suitable for convenient and quick buoy salvage.

Returning to the wreck area again, Fan Yunting and the divers tacitly used the steel cable to

Separate the two groups of buoys and tie them to the end of the sunken ship.

After everyone else started to float up, Fan Yunting checked the firmness one last time, and also floated up to the surface.

Returning to the salvage ship, Fan Yunting reported to Wang Guangxuhui: "Captain, it's tied up!"

The corner of Wang Guangxu's mouth moved slightly, and he said, "Start the compressor, press the air into the buoy, and empty the seawater in the pressure chamber!"

The crew excitedly started the compressor on the salvage ship, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound on the sea, black smoke billowed straight out,

After working for more than an hour, Zhao An saw the sunken ship of the Song Dynasty start to break away from the bottom of the sea, and slowly began to float up.

Wang Guangxu was also staring at the pressure gauge of the compressor, calculating the volume of compressed gas in his mind.

Feeling almost done, Wang Guangxu said: "Reduce the pumping power, take your time!"

The sound of the diesel compressor has weakened a lot, but the floating speed of the sunken ship in the water has not weakened. Standing on the deck, its huge figure can already be seen.

"Out of the water, out of the water..." the crew of the salvage team exclaimed.

"Such a large shipwreck, you've made a fortune...~!"

"It's not your fortune, it's the boss's. Let's just drink some soup!"

Wang Guangxu also quickly ordered: "Turn off the compressor and stop pumping!" After speaking, he followed to the deck.

Getting closer, getting closer, and slowly, the shipwreck of the Song Dynasty finally surfaced, and the salvage team cheered enthusiastically on the deck!

It finally came out of the water. This was the first harvest after their salvage team regrouped. The excitement on the faces of the team members was beyond words.

Wang Guangxu's face was also full of smiles, and he said to Fan Yunting with a smile: "Next time you tie the buoy, you still have to pay attention to the position.

You can see that the hull of the water is still tilted. If something inside is damaged, it will be difficult for us to explain. "

Fan Yunting scratched his head and said with a smile: "Be careful next time, I hope nothing is damaged."
