208: Found the wreck

The salvage time was finally determined, it would be in two days.

During this time, Expert Mo Qiangqiu and Director Mao would undergo a physical fitness test and simple submarine survival training.

During this period, Liu Xiaolin also hired a diving coach to teach him how to dive. He wanted to personally explore the sunken ship on the seabed. Although it was his first time learning to dive, the strongest production system gave him a set of the best diving equipment, equipment that could easily eliminate the pressure of the seabed. So, when the coach discovered that potential ear pain and chest tightness during deep-sea diving had no effect on Liu Xiaolin, he was very surprised.

"General Manager Liu, have you learned to dive before?" The coach couldn't believe that Liu Xiaolin was a beginner diver.

"I'm really learning to dive for the first time," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"I see that you are very experienced in dealing with weightlessness on the seabed, almost catching up to my professional level," the coach exclaimed in admiration.

Liu Xiaolin chuckled, thinking to himself whether he could consider starting a company that researches and manufactures diving equipment in the future. He didn't know anything himself, but wearing this set of diving equipment, he felt no pressure at all during diving training.

After Liu Xiaolin learned to dive, the coach taught him some hand signals that must be learned for underwater diving: The 'ok' gesture is different from the usual 'ok'. It is divided into two hands and one hand. Two hands should form a circle above the head, and one hand is touching the top of the head, similar to the heart shape gesture above the head, indicating that one is ready; Ascent is a fist with the thumb pointing up, and descent is a fist with the thumb pointing down; When feeling unwell, spread the fingers and shake the palm back and forth, then point to the uncomfortable body part; When there is danger, extend a fist with the palm facing down, and so on...

Liu Xiaolin was very smart and quickly learned these hand signals, and could already use them skillfully when diving.

When everything was ready, it was the day to salvage the sunken ship.

Everyone was very excited about the accidental discovery of this Zheng Han sunken ship, so they all had a mindset of being determined to succeed in this salvage operation.

Finding the Zheng Han sunken ship, salvaging it, and handing over all the antiques on board to the country was everyone's wish.

Today, Liu Xiaolin still followed along and entered Explorer II. He wanted to witness the scene of the sunken ship being salvaged with his own eyes, and he also needed to accompany Director Mao. Others were not quite qualified.

When the pilot and professional divers entered the submarine, Liu Xiaolin also followed them in. He took Expert Mo Qiangqiu and Director Mao into the living cabin. After all, the conditions here were much better, and for the convenience of underwater command, Liu Xiaolin also specially asked Niu De to install a large screen in the living cabin, which could provide a panoramic view of the surroundings of Explorer II, and also see and hear the visuals and audio from the cockpit and the Ground Command Center.

At this moment, the pilot in the cockpit was requesting to depart.

"This is Explorer II, we are now commencing the sunken ship salvage operation, requesting permission to depart. Over."

"This is Ground Command Center, permission to depart granted. Over."

"Explorer II has received the instruction, departing immediately. Over."

Then, the screen showed Explorer II smoothly descending. At the same time, the screen could also display the diving depth. Twenty minutes later, it had already descended to 1500 meters.

"This is Explorer II, I have descended to a depth of 1500 meters. Over."

"This is Ground Command Center, please proceed according to the navigation. Over."

Surrounded by some deep-sea marine life, Explorer II proceeded towards the position designated by the navigation. This time, affected by the ocean current speed, the cruising speed was slightly slower, only adopting a speed of 50 knots, but it still quickly found the sunken ship's location according to the navigation positioning.

"It's here, it's here!" Liu Xiaolin shouted, pointing at the familiar mast. "This mast is too conspicuous, I can find it at a glance."

"This is Explorer II, I have arrived at the location designated by the navigation system. Over."

"This is Ground Command Center, acknowledged. Please proceed with the salvage according to the instructions of the salvage experts. Over."

"Acknowledged. Over."

Liu Xiaolin couldn't help but want to go to the cockpit at this moment. "Director Mao and Expert Mo, if you don't feel unwell, let's go to the cockpit. Direct communication is more convenient there after all."

"Okay, okay, we don't feel any discomfort. We can go to the cockpit." Director Mao and Expert Mo nodded repeatedly.

After the three people walked to the cockpit, they saw that the professional divers had already started putting on their diving suits and equipment. Seeing this, Liu Xiaolin quickly ran back to the living cabin, grabbed his diving equipment, and ran back to the cockpit.

"I need you to measure the length of the sunken ship now, so we can determine where to set the lifting points," Expert Mo said.

"Okay, okay, we'll go out of the submarine to check now," Liu Xiaolin said while quickly putting on his diving suit and equipment.

Two professional divers and Liu Xiaolin walked into a transparent basket. Then, this basket was sent outside the submarine. When the entire basket appeared on the seabed, the passage inside the submarine was closed, and at the same time, the sealed door of the basket was opened.

The three people filed out and slowly started swimming.

They swam straight towards the standing mast, circling it for a good while. It was clear that this sunken ship was not small.

Soon, Liu Xiaolin found the location of the bow. The bow was mostly covered by silt, but as the seawater flowed, the tip of the ship would always be exposed.

Liu Xiaolin reached out and cleared away some silt. Under the light emitted by his headlamp, he saw that the wood was still sturdy, with no signs of decay. www.x33xs.com

"This ship is made of qiankun wood! My goodness, this is a ship made of qiankun wood that doesn't decay for a thousand years!" Liu Xiaolin shouted in surprise.

His voice quickly transmitted back to the cockpit. Director Mao and Expert Mo rubbed their hands together happily after hearing it. "A sunken ship made of qiankun wood! It seems it can be salvaged completely intact. This sunken ship is too precious. Through it, we can study the shipbuilding history from five hundred years ago. My goodness, this news is too good. General Manager Liu, keep checking if it's a mortise and tenon joint structure."

Liu Xiaolin made an 'ok' gesture with both hands clasped above his head. Then, he continued to clear the silt with the other two professional divers, clearing out a length of seven or eight meters, revealing a corner of the ship's hull.

Liu Xiaolin touched the hull of this qiankun wood ship, and under the light from his headlamp, he slowly looked for connection points. He touched the entire seven or eight meters but didn't feel anything like nails.

"I touched seven or eight meters and didn't feel any nails. I believe this sunken ship is a mortise and tenon joint structure," Liu Xiaolin said excitedly.

"Can the three of you completely clear this ship?" Expert Mo was a bit worried.
