Chapter 810: Ice at the bottom of the sea
The Sea Emperor is a salvage ship, a very well-equipped salvage ship. The work he is engaged in is to salvage shipwrecks everywhere in the sea, and make money from the contents of the sunken ships.
Recently, the Sea Emperor had a salvage mission, and they found a two-hundred-year-old shipwreck on the high seas. Although the place where the ship sank was at a depth of 200 meters under the sea, relying on the equipment on the Sea Emperor, there was no problem at a depth of more than 200 meters. The Sea Emperor is also very well prepared this time, and there is no problem in completing this work.
The location of the wreck has been determined, and submarines have been sent to observe it, and some things that can be taken out, have been taken out. There's not much hope of getting the whole ship out. After all, it was just a wooden ship. It's okay in the sea, but if you try to pick it up, it's going to fall apart. You can only get the contents out.
Judging from the things that have been salvaged now, the Sea Emperor will be able to make a fortune this time. The crew on the Sea Emperor was very happy, and the captain was naturally even happier. After doing this time, the people on the ship can also have a good rest.
The man in charge of the submarine on board found the captain and held a topographical map of the seabed. After laying out the topographic map on the table, he pointed to a location on it and talked about his intention this time.
The captain listened carefully, looked at the topography map of the seabed, and said, "Are you sure?" Is there really a substance of ice there? It can't be, how can there be ice cubes stored here. Are you sure you read that right? ”
"No, of course not, I'm really looking at it, it's just a big block of ice. If it weren't for the fact that I've been down for a long time, I'd have gone over and watched it. If you don't believe me, wait a moment when the submarine is ready. I'll go down and send you a video. Said the man who operated the submarine.
"Well, we're going to go down anyway, and when the time comes, you have to keep an eye out and see what it is. I think it's some kind of mineral on the bottom of the sea, it looks like ice. The captain said.
What the submarine brought back was unloaded. Refill what you need, and then dive again. Naturally, the salvage ship will not be a large submarine. After the submarine began to dive, the captain did not pay much attention to the submarine, but sorted the things that were caught last time.
This wreck, which is supposed to be a merchant ship, has a lot of goods in it. Some are still able to be repaired, and some are still very complete. After fishing, it is natural to handle it carefully. It also needs to be handled by a professional.
"Captain, something has been found down there, come and see, big discovery." Suddenly, someone shouted at the captain.
The captain came to the control room and looked towards the surveillance. That's the picture from the submarine. This time, the submarine did not go straight to the sinking ship, but to the ice-like thing it found. The picture that has come back now is the ice found by the submarine.
In the mud and sand of the seabed. There was indeed a large block of ice. The submarine has already photographed it and sent it back. The people on board. I was a little surprised. Especially after a closer look.
"There's something in there, it looks like a person." A crew member said.
The captain also saw that there was indeed a figure on what looked like a block of ice. Due to the problem of light, it is not very clear to see. But it's true that there is something zài. The captain also came to his senses at this time.
"Old Mo, clean up the area around it. Let's see how big it is, if you can catch it, hurry up. The captain said the success microphone.
It was Lao Mo who was controlling the submarine. He didn't have to do it at the captain's command. On submarines. There are two robotic arms, which are used at this time, to clean up the sediment from the seabed.
This ice block is not very large, only a small part is covered with sediment. It's not that hard to clean up. After Lao Mo cleaned up, he determined that this ice cube could be pulled up. Immediately ask the people on the sea to prepare a cable to pull this ice cube up.
As soon as the qiē is ready, the cable begins to pull up the ice on the ocean floor. This kind of work is not a problem for the people on the salvage ship. Soon, this ice block was pulled from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea. The people on board began to prepare to transport it to the deck.
When the ice was placed on the deck, everyone on board gathered around to watch. Originally, they thought it was some kind of ore, but now, no matter how they look at it, it looks like an ice block.
"I said it's ice, I feel the chill up there." Lao Mo pointed to the ice cube and said.
The captain approached the ice and touched it with his hand. It was indeed a piece of ice, and the feeling of coldness on it was very clear. What the captain wants to see now is not the ice, but what's inside. The captain wiped the surface of the ice with his hand, looked closely, and found that there was indeed a figure sitting cross-legged.
"It's really a person, what's going on, how can there be such a thing in this sea." The captain said puzzled.
"Maybe someone in distress in the cold sea was frozen when they drowned, and then they floated here. A dead man, no big deal. A crew member said.
"It looks like an ancient man. Maybe it's still a general, and I think we've found an antique. Another crew member said.
The captain still looked at the shadow inside the ice very carefully, and then ordered the people on the ship to break the ice and release the person inside, so as to see what kind of person he was. The key is the clothes on the people inside, it's really an antique if you can't get it. Naturally, they are not interested in corpses, but they are very interested in antiques. It's just that they didn't expect that after they started to do it, they would find out the problem.
"Captain, you can't break it, this ice is too hard, like metal, and you can't use an electric drill." Said the crew.
Naturally, everyone else saw it too. The ice is indeed too hard to break at all, not even with an electric drill. They are not professional miners, so naturally they don't have any powerful equipment. They were surprised that the ice, which they thought would be easy to break, could not be broken at all.
"Prepare hot water and pour it on." The captain said.
Hot water was brought in and poured on top of the ice. But there was no sign of melting. Instead, the hot water cools down quickly and then freezes. The more you pour on the ice, the thicker it becomes.
"Captain, this is not normal. Maybe it's not some kind of ice, it's some kind of metal. Otherwise, how could it not be opened? Lao Mo said to the captain.
"Have you ever seen such cold metal? Have you heard of it? The captain said.
"Not really, but it's not right now. If it was really ice, it would have been opened a long time ago. I think this thing is weird, maybe there will be some radiation, so it's better to be careful. Lao Mo said.
The captain pondered for a moment, then said, "If it were really ordinary ice, it would have melted in the sea a long time ago." This thing should not be ordinary. We should find some professionals to look into it. Maybe the rich man will be interested. ”
Since he couldn't get it himself, the captain had to go to someone else to test him. It turned out that it was indeed just ice, but it was harder and colder. The captain also began to contact some wealthy and powerful people to find out who would want to buy the thing.
For a person engaged in the salvage industry, it is not difficult to meet some rich and powerful people. Even if you don't know each other, you can find a way to get in touch with it. After trying it, it didn't take long for people to get interested.
The ice was taken from the salvage ship, loaded onto the plane, and then transported to the person who bought the ice. The ice is naturally nothing before, the key is the figure inside, which is what is interesting. The captain of the Sea Emperor was given a large sum of money, and he was naturally satisfied. If there is anything in the future, it will be very irrelevant to him.
In a state-of-the-art research room, there is the ice that has been fished up from the depths of the sea. A lot of devices are testing it. This laboratory was prepared only recently, for this ice cube. Since there is better equipment, it is more smooth to detect, and a lot of numbers are quickly obtained.
The place where the research laboratory is located is not in a large scientific research institution, but in a private castle-like place. When some numbers were obtained, it was natural that someone would report the matter. The debriefing place is in a study in this private castle.
Behind the desk in the study, there sat an old man, who was there with his eyes closed and recuperating, and after the old man's help brought in two scientific researchers in white coats, he stood beside the old man.
One of the two scientific researchers, holding a paper jiàn clip, opened it, looked at the number on it and said: "Fei Lao, according to our detection, the item is indeed a piece of ice and does not contain other substances. It's just a special energy in its memory. This energy has a high level of coldness, so that the ice does not melt and is not so easily destroyed. And, most importantly, signs of life were found inside the ice. According to our judgment, the people inside the ice should still be alive. And the vitality is very strong. ”
The old man, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the two scientific researchers with some confusion. Even the old man's assistant looked surprised.
"Are you sure the people inside are still alive?" The old man asked.
"Judging from the results of the current test, the people inside should indeed be alive. If the ice can be broken, further testing can be carried out. But to get the ice open, you need better equipment. The researcher said.
"Give him the one he needs a qiē device. Break the ice as much as possible. I'm going to make sure if the people inside are really alive. Go ahead and do it now. The old man said. After saying that, he closed his eyes again and went to recuperate. (To be continued......)
