Xiang Yang was a little embarrassed, "Boss Gao, this is overstepping the boundaries, it's not good, if the other party catches the thing and asks us to redeem it, it will be a huge loss of face."
"Bullshit, we are a cargo ship, why should they capture our cargo ship?" Gao Chuang said disdainfully.
"Well, if you don't dare, forget it. I will have the crew members who are good at swimming gather on two freighters, and then have the two freighters go to New Zealand to handle the formalities. Then they will go to New Zealand, and we will continue to take a detour and use the high seas. When we reach Antarctica, we will gather inside the Arctic Circle."
Xiang Yang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to cross the line to get it.
The psychological barrier is one reason, but the main reason is that Xiang Yang doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.
"Okay, next, we will slow down a lot, and we will even stop for a while from time to time. Then, you and your crew can go underwater to have a look. Although there are no Antarctic deep-sea crayfish, you know that cold water areas have a lot of aquatic products. Maybe we can make some money."
Xiang Yang nodded, "Okay, then I'll organize some people to go to sea when I get back."
"Yes." Gao Chuang nodded. "We should stay here for about three hours. It's a good idea for you to send someone to the sea to take a look. But be careful. Do you see those viperfish? Those fish should not be provoked. Even great white sharks will turn into skeletons when they encounter them."
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Gao. I won't joke about my life or the lives of my crew members if I can't be sure of safety."
Back on the boat, Xiang Yang said to the crew, "The fleet will stay here for about three hours. Boss Gao said that we can go underwater to take a look during these three hours. However, the water depth here is about 150 meters, which is beyond our underwater operation range. Is there anyone willing to go down with me to take a look?"
“Isn’t it just 150 meters? Brother Yang, don’t worry, even if it’s 200 meters, I can swim for you.” Fang Youqun said immediately.
The other crew members also nodded and said they could go down.
During this period of time, they have been on the boat and have been feeling very uncomfortable. They finally got a chance to go into the water. Let alone 150 meters, they had to go at least 15,000 meters. As for whether they could go down or not, Ze Ling said, just go to the bottom of the water first.
Xiang Yang hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and promised everyone that anyone who went into the water this time, regardless of whether they caught any fish or not, would be rewarded with a red envelope of 500 yuan. Anyone who caught any fish would be rewarded another 500 yuan, regardless of how much the catch was worth. At the same time, 20% of the catch would belong to the person who caught it.
When the crew heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and immediately scrambled to go under the water.
What they are after is not the red envelope, but the 20% profit.
Under this water, if you don’t catch any fish, there’s nothing to complain about.
As long as they can get it, according to their past experience, this 20% is at least several thousand dollars.
On the other side, Xiang Yang saw that on several other ships, people began to go into the water wearing diving equipment. At the same time, small boats began to travel back and forth between the large ships.
Xiang Yang observed carefully and found that Gao Chuang's diving equipment was far inferior to that on his own ship.
This is not surprising. After all, they rely on fishing nets to catch fish, while Xiang Yang focuses on diving fishing. They only use diving fishing as a way to make some extra money, and their focus is not on this at all.
soon.
Xiang Yang was the first to put on his diving suit and swam underwater.
After reaching the bottom of the water, Xiang Yang almost cursed.
It is true that the water depth is about 150 meters.
But under the water, the algae is at least ten meters deep.
There were large patches of algae that stretched as far as the eye could see, and Xiang Yanglian almost turned green with fear. These algae grew backwards like kelp, and if someone was entangled by them, they would definitely entangle and die in the water.
Xiang Yang was about to swim back to the boat and ask people to give up the dive.
Sudden.
Xiang Yang saw a huge black shadow underwater.
The black shadow was covered with barnacles, algae, and shellfish, and looked eerie and terrifying.
But from its outline, Xiang Yang's heart beat faster, because this was obviously a shipwreck, and a giant ancient passenger ship at that.
This ship is over 40 meters long and nearly 20 meters wide. In ancient times, it would definitely be a giant ship.
Of course, there were larger ships in ancient times.
According to legend, when Zheng He sailed to the West, his chariot was more than 140 meters long and 60 meters wide. When the kings of the small countries in Southeast Asia saw such a large ship, they all exclaimed that an island was floating on the sea.
I really don’t know how such a large ship was built in ancient times. You know, today, a ship over 100 meters long is considered a giant ship, and many small countries are still unable to build one.
Xiang Yang pushed aside the lush seaweed and swam towards the ship.
This exomechanical diving suit is good in every way except for seaweed, which is its biggest weakness. It can be easily entangled by the seaweed, especially when someone like Xiang Yang actively drills into the seaweed.
However, it was equipped with a dagger. Xiang Yang pulled out the dagger and cut the seaweeds one by one in an instant.
The seabed is over 150 meters deep, and with the lush seaweed blocking the way, the light is basically gone.
But Xiang Yang's eyes could clearly see every scene around him.
This ancient shipwreck has several huge cracks on one side of the ship.
It looks like a sailboat. It must have encountered huge winds and waves at sea, and the ship was hit violently, then took on water and sank.
Xiang Yang was just about to climb into the sunken ship to see if there were any jewelry, gold or anything like that inside.
Suddenly, Xiang Yang stared at a place on the bottom of the boat and blinked in disbelief.
abalone.
Lots of abalone.
At the bottom of the boat, in addition to countless barnacles and scallops, there are also countless abalones densely packed together.
Xiang Yang's eyes at this moment were on an abalone as big as a bowl.
This abalone is definitely a sea monster-level abalone. If counted by the number of heads, it should be a half abalone, or a few tenths of abalone.
There is a saying that a double-headed abalone is worth a fortune. Xiang Yang would make a fortune by discovering such a big abalone, regardless of whether there are any treasures on the shipwreck.
Such a big abalone, and it is purely wild, even if it is sold for one million, there will still be a lot of people rushing to buy it.
Xiang Yang swam over quickly, and while the big abalone was not paying attention, he broke it off from under the boat and threw it into the net bag.
At least one million.
Xiang Yang then reached into the sunken ship.
