"There are broken wooden boards in the 900-meter-deep trench?" Li Shu was stunned for a moment and then became ecstatic. He swam over, and Jing Lao San and Jing Lao San followed closely behind.
The 900-meter-deep trench is pitch black, the water is cold, and the surrounding area is filled with a desolate, primitive atmosphere that has not been seen for thousands of years.
Boss Jing was the first to pick up the board. He found that the board cracked with just a slight squeeze. He was so frightened that he quickly held the board with both hands.
[Boss, this board seems to be old.]Jing Laosan said with sign language.
[Looking at the fractured texture, it seems that it was caused by a violent impact. ] Li Shu observed the board carefully: [Look at the corners on the edge of the board. It seems to have fallen off the wooden box. Search around to see if there is any harvest.]
[Okay, boss!]
Boss Jing threw away the wooden board, took out the folded special steel shovel from the backpack he was carrying, and then spread out with Li Shu and Jing Laoer to search around.
A steel shovel is needed for three people. The steel shovel is relatively small and only 80 centimeters long. It is like a multi-functional engineer shovel. After twisting the screw to change the shape, it can be used as a shovel, machete, saw, etc.
Swish, swish, swish~
The three of them were like three gophers, digging around here and there. As long as they had doubts, they could not escape the fate of being dug up.
after an hour.
Li Shu, who was slightly tired, stopped and thought to himself: "Only consciousness can enter the white jade ring now. It would be great if it could put things. In that case, I can bring bigger and more convenient digging tools. Now I can only use this small one." A steel shovel will do."
Because the space in the white jade ring cannot accommodate real objects, Li Shu and others would have to bring a large steel shovel into the sea to hunt for treasure. Swimming with it alone would create a lot of resistance, which would be extremely troublesome.
However, although they complain that the small steel shovel is not convenient, it is better than nothing. If there is no steel shovel, I am afraid they will have to dig by hand.
[Boss, no.]Boss Jing swam over first and shook his head.
[I don’t have one here either.] Jing Laosan also came over with a steel shovel.
Li Shu was digging a hole in front of him. The hole was 80 centimeters deep. He looked back and saw that there were more than 60 large and small holes scattered around.
Just as he was about to think about it, he put away the shovel, and suddenly the shovel seemed to dig something. He dug again, and a gold bar was dug out mixed with the sand.
[Boss, there are gold bars!]
[Boss, let me dig it for you!]
Jing Lao San and Jing Lao San were digging together with Li Shu in an instant. The sediment was floating in the sea water, and the surrounding sea water became extremely turbid. Gold bars mixed with sediment were dug up one by one, and occasionally they were dug up. The three of them were very excited about this simple and crude way of digging for treasure.
10 minutes later.
Li Shu counted the latter in the seawater where there was no rising sediment. Pieces of gold bars were stacked on the seabed like a stack of mahjong. As he stacked the numbers, he counted silently in his heart: "... 45, 46, 47... 89, 90, 91... 97? A total of 97 gold bars?”.
He thought for a few seconds and waved to Boss Jing and the two of them, and they walked up to Li Shu.
[Expand the excavation area with the hole as the center. The number of gold bars in each box of this kind of gold transport ship should be the same. It is 97 bars now, which means there are three bars missing. Let's dig around and see.]
[Okay, boss.]
Boss Jing and the two continued to dig like coolies. If they were on land, the raised mud would quickly fall back to the ground, but now they are on the inaccessible 9,000-meter-deep seabed. The sand will float in the sea water for a long time before sinking to the bottom of the sea again.
Li Shu said silently in his heart: "I'm not entirely sure if there are other three gold bars, but I can always look for them."
Sudden.
Boss Jing picked up a piece of something from the pothole with a happy face, and then swam to the plum tree: [Boss, I found it 1.5 meters away from the pothole at the beginning.]
Li Shu took the piece from Boss Jing's hand and revealed the surface of the gold bar on the side. He broke off all the dirt on the surface and found that it was indeed a gold bar.
[Keep up the good work and go for it!]
[okay!]
Soon, two more gold bars were found 2 meters away from the initial pothole, and all 100 gold bars were found.
Li Shu looked at the wooden board he found not far away. The wooden board was fluttering away from the bottom of the sea under the flow of sea water, and then landed on the bottom of the sea again after a while.
He gestured in sign language: [Perhaps the wooden board always floated and fell under the action of sea water, so it was not completely buried over the long years, but this box of gold was buried about 1 meter deep. In the sea mud.
But at least we have good news, that is, the bottom of the trench has only risen by one meter in such a long time. If the sunken ship is really in one of these trenches, then there is a high probability that it will not be buried entirely.]
[Yeah.]Boss Jing said very doggedly: "What we are most afraid of is that the sea mud completely covers the sunken ship. As long as it is not completely covered, it will be much easier to find."]
Jing Laosan also nodded, looking excited.
In fact, it was Jing Lao Er and Jing Lao San who had been looking for this sunken ship all along, while Jing Lao mostly helped Li Shu handle daily affairs in Neverland.
After searching for a long time, Jing Laosan has almost become obsessed with this sunken ship. Now it seems that the goal is about to be achieved. How can he not be excited
[Okay, keep looking!]
100 gold bars were placed nearby. There was no one else on the dark 900-meter-deep seabed anyway, so there was no need to worry about others taking them away. Li Shu and others decided to pick up the gold bars when they returned to Mandy Island.
Boom boom boom~
Although Li Shu's eyes can see through the seawater with a radius of 1 kilometer, if he wants to conduct a "refined" search, his sight will still focus on a radius of 100 meters.
time flies.
6pm.
[The search ends here today and will continue tomorrow morning.]
[Okay, boss.]
Boss Jing moved a big stone to the place they searched today as a mark, and they can continue searching from this big stone tomorrow.
The three of them went to get the 100 gold bars and swam back to Manti Island.
Half of the setting sun has sunk into the sea, and the remaining half reflects the clouds on the horizon red, and the rippling sea water is dyed red. It is really like a fairyland on earth.
Wow~
Li Shu and three others wearing diving suits emerged from the sea and landed on the water. Boss Jing was holding a 1-meter-long sea fish in his hand.
They met the big fish on their way back and caught it for dinner. The fish had been knocked unconscious, and its finely arranged scales reflected the sunlight.
"Phew~ I can finally speak. It's too hard to communicate in sign language in the sea, but luckily I brought a diving suit. If I went to a deserted island like last time, it would be a waste of water to take a shower every time I go ashore." Li Shu After landing, he took off his protective clothing, and the sun shone on his resolute face.
