Chapter 107 Field Investigation
Carrying a bunch of equipment from the maritime ship and taking a fishing boat driven by Zhuanghai Ocean, Sun Xingyuan and others quickly arrived at the water where the shipwreck was discovered, and they also saw more surging waves than before, beating the reefs exposed to the water one after another.
After running on the sea for many years, Sun Xingyuan and others asked themselves that they were knowledgeable. But for the first time they felt the danger of Guijianchou, they also truly understood why the nearby fishermen gave this seemingly ordinary reef a name such a dangerous name.
Standing on the shaking fishing boat, Sun Xingyuan frowned and said, "Ocean, has this place been like this all the time?"
"Well! Every day at noon, it will be a little calmer. At night, unless you get closer, you will not see the reefs exposed to the water. The rolled waves basically flood them.
I have dived in this place several times and found that the undercurrent at the bottom of the sea was very strong in the morning. When the wind blew in Shanghai, the situation here was even more dangerous. Perhaps because of this, there was a boat in the early years and accidentally sank the reef.
Although I haven't looked at it carefully, I think there will definitely be other shipwrecks in this kind of place. Of course, this is just my personal guess. If there is one, it will take time to search all the nearby underwater before you can find out."
The more shipwrecks were found, the greater the value and significance of salvage in this place. Even if Zhuang Haiyang overturned the nearby seabed, there were only four shipwrecks actually discovered, and one of them had been exhausted by Zhuang Haiyang.
The remaining two ships will be found as long as the maritime department sends divers to search, I believe that they will find that the other two hulls are exposed above the silt. So it is really unknown whether there are other shipwrecks under the silt.
What surprised Zhuang Haiyang was that after hearing his speculation, Sun Xingyuan looked around and said, "This is really possible! Ancient ships were different from today's ships equipped with radars. If you don't know the route, something might really happen.
In addition, the wind and waves are quiet at night. If you are not careful, you will drive the boat in, and it will inevitably hit the reef and sink. By the way, you are diving nearby, have you found other wrecks?"
"There is really no such thing! Apart from diving like me, ordinary fishermen will not come here at all. I also think that this place can catch large groupers, so I dare to come and try it. The deep place here should be two or three hundred meters!"
The meaning of saying this is to tell Sun Xingyuan that he does not have the ability to dive freely. That is, he bought a professional diving suit and oxygen cylinder, so that Zhuang Haiyang dared to come here to play deep diving. In this regard, Zhuang Haiyang is not afraid of being investigated.
Even professional divers have a world record of free diving for only more than 100 meters. But the waters near Guijianchou have a water depth of dozens of meters, and naturally there are a water depth of 100 meters or even 200 meters.
The shallow water area is basically washed away by undercurrents, which is very suitable for the life of marine organisms such as abalone and lobster. There are not many abalones that can be seen in a truly 100-meter-deep place, only large lobsters can be found occasionally.
Therefore, Zhuang Haiyang launched an investigation. Even if the government can find out, he had sold a batch of antique porcelain. The problem is that those porcelains have been out of water for many years and there is no trace of fishing for porcelain at sea. What's the point of Zhuang Haiyang to be afraid of?
After seeing the sea conditions in the waters near the shipwreck, Sun Xingyuan knew that it was not easy to salvage the shipwreck in such a place. After thinking about it, he said, "How deep is it near the shipwreck?"
Facing the inquiry, Zhuang Haiyang shook his head and said, "I really didn't pay attention to this! In my experience, it should be at a depth of about 11 to 130 meters. Anyway, if there is equipment, I will be clear if I go down and test it?"
Even though Sun Xingyuan showed a good attitude, Zhuang Haiyang really felt that it was very difficult to deal with these people. Seeing that there was not much time left before dark, he was still thinking about going home to feed chickens and have supper!
"May Team Sun, I have brought all the equipment here anyway, so I'll go down to see the situation first. It's really dark and it's not convenient to start a lot of work. This place is very dangerous. If you do your homework at night, you have to be more careful."
One of the team members also made his own suggestions at the right time. After some discussion, he and the six team members who took a fishing boat with Sun Xingyuan, two of whom went into the water with Sun Xingyuan, including Zhuang Haiyang, the discoverer of the shipwreck.
The remaining three people operate equipment on the fishing boat to monitor the underwater situation in real time. This set of underwater photography equipment is naturally more advanced than what Zhuang Haiyang purchased. Zhuang Haiyang is very envious of this and plans to have the opportunity to buy one in the future.
As the four of them wore professional diving equipment and put down the ropes for the hoisting equipment, Zhuang Haiyang led the way in front, and Sun Xingyuan and others followed behind, and the four of them continued to dive towards the deep seabed.
If it were people with poor psychological quality, the fear of diving alone would be enough to make them afraid. Fortunately, Sun Xingyuan and others are all professional divers, so they can still deal with this kind of scene.
The deeper you dive, the more Sun Xingyuan and others could feel that the sea water flowing through you still had a certain impact. This also means that Zhuang Haiyang said before that there was an undercurrent at the bottom of the sea, which was not boastful, but real existence.
As a diver from the army, Zhuang Haiyang naturally had some sign language. Through simple gestures, Zhuang Haiyang was also guiding everyone forward. The maritime team members located on the fishing boat were also keeping a close eye on the situation under the sea.
"The sea water under the sea flows very fast, and the depth is indeed more than one hundred meters!"
"It is really difficult to salvage a wreck in such a place. It's okay if there is something on the boat, but if it's an empty boat, it will be useless. That kid's diving skills look really good!"
"Anyway, I have participated in the selection of frogmen in the army and are professional fishermen. And I have been a professional diver for four years in the pearl farm. If I don't have a good level, how could the boss let him work for so long?"
While these maritime team members were chatting, they finally arrived at Zhuang Haiyang, which was under the sea, and began to gesture: "It's still ahead!"
Swimming in Zhuang Haiyang in front, he soon took Sun Xingyuan and his party to the location of the shipwreck. Seeing the shipwreck that should have sunk, Sun Xingyuan and others were also very excited and began to direct the team members to conduct measurements.
On the other hand, Zhuang Haiyang stood by and watched the show and did not participate in the related work at all. What he did was to provide lighting for Sun Xingyuan and others. The seabed at a depth of 100 meters was already very dark, so it was really hard to see clearly without having more lighting.
With the mud and sand that are washed up by undercurrents from time to time, the visibility under the sea is not clear. Fortunately, Sun Xingyuan and others can clearly find that this wreck must have not been salvaged or destroyed, and the salvage value is still very high.
After completing the first measurement and positioning survey work, Sun Xingyuan and others did not stay at the sea for a long time, leaving the corresponding positioning equipment, so they made a "go up" gesture. The group of four people began to swim towards the sea again.
After coming out of the water, the four people found that they were not far from the fishing boat, and they rolled over one after another. The maritime team members who stayed behind the fishing boat also reached out to pull. Even if it didn't take long, Sun Xingyuan and the other two seemed very excited and tired.
Even if you wear a professional diving suit, the water pressure of 100 meters deep will definitely not feel good. At least in Sun Xingyuan's opinion, if you want to salvage this wreck, you must dispatch a professional diving team. Ordinary divers cannot do this job.
It takes a long time to clean up the mud and sand piled up on the shipwreck. If you want to salvage the whole, the project volume will be even greater. In short, the shipwreck looks very salvage value, but no one knows whether there is any goods inside.
