Chapter 4 The Golden Fleet
"No, no. You don't know how backward technology is today. In this era, humans have no way to dive into the sea water below a hundred meters, so the wealth is still there until now, and we will use this wealth to get the initial start Funds." Zhao Feihong smiled.
"Okay, as you said, we will set off immediately." Without saying a word, Shen Ruoxue picked up Zhao Feihong and ran towards the deck where the shuttle was parked. The two quickly boarded the shuttle, and with the roar of the engine. , the shuttle slowly left the deck. Because the space hospital was hit two thousand meters underground, the flight deck had completely lost its function, and Honor had to open the upper cover as a temporary access channel. Shen Ruoxue drove his shuttle , passed through the temporary passage, flew upward along the deep hole that the space hospital crashed into, and soon left the mountain pass and flew towards the distance.
Zhao Feihong touched the watch-shaped personal optical brain on his arm to the shuttle navigator, and the historical atlas stored in it was entered. The map of 1906 was quickly brought up by the navigator, although the map was not counted. Detailed, but used for intraplanetary navigation business issues. According to the guidance of the electronic map, the shuttle flew towards the Atlantic Ocean without being discovered by anyone.
For a space shuttle, the journey from Western Xinjiang to the Prosperous Ocean only took a few seconds. They quickly arrived over Vigo Bay. Due to the different time zones, it was still late at night in the bay at this time.
"Start diving mode." Shen Ruoxue issued the command, and a solid energy cover suddenly appeared on the surface of the shuttle. This was formed to resist the huge water pressure, and then the entire shuttle silently entered the cold sea water. .Several small covers under the engine are opened one after another. The huge suction force sucks seawater from these small covers, highly compresses it, and then sprays it out from the tail nozzle. With the reaction force of seawater, the shuttle moves like a The nimble swimming fish sails towards the bottom of the sea.
At this time, Vigo Bay is no longer a large port. With the gradual decline of the Red Empire over the past hundreds of years, the once prosperous domestic ports have long become dilapidated and deserted. Today, there are only a few in the entire port. Dozens of small commercial ships or fishing boats were docked at the dock. There were no lights on the dock. It was obvious that everyone had fallen into a deep sleep.
According to the introduction in the history book, Zhao Feihong and Shen Ruoxue quickly dived into the water in Beigang District. In fact, the water here was not deep. Even the exact location where the fleet sank was only 17 meters deep. It looked like it had reached the bottom. Shen Ruoxue couldn't help but feel angry: "Didn't you say a hundred meters? It's only a dozen meters, so the treasure has probably been taken away long ago."
"You're wrong. In 1702, even this water depth was insurmountable. When we tried to salvage it later, the thick sediment had completely covered the place, and even the specific location was difficult to find. People in this era simply couldn't The treasures were found. According to history books, these treasures were only excavated in 2075. The largest dredger was used at that time, and it took more than a month to find the treasures. Unfortunately, it was carried out by a private company at that time. The number of treasures has not been announced to the public, so I don’t know how much there is." Zhao Feihong said with regret.
"Okay, then let's keep digging down. I hope your history book is right." Shen Ruoxue rolled her eyes. She skillfully operated the shuttle to adjust the direction of the nozzle, and used the water flow from the nozzle to blow away the seabed mud. Sand, but soon the entire seawater became turbid. Even if all the lights were turned on, the scenery outside the meter would not be visible. In order to prevent the shuttle from touching the ground, Shen Ruoxue could only rely on the radar on the shuttle to determine its position.
"I think this method is not very easy to use. Why not try using a maintenance robot? I think you should have one on your shuttle." Zhao Feihong suggested.
"Of course there is, but there are only more than thirty. I will use radar to detect the specific location first. Once I find where the treasure is, I will use robots to dig. This is much more efficient." Shen Ruoxue operated the radar and began to search the nearby area. Searching began: "Are you sure that story is true? Could it be that the people in red were so stupid that they scuttled themselves instead of sending the gold and silver ashore when they got to the mainland?"
"You don't understand this. At that time, the country in red had a very strange rule. All property shipped from South America must first be inspected in Seville and not allowed to be disembarked in other ports. As a result, the rigid fleet commander finally chose to scuttle himself. ." Zhao Feihong said with his shoulders straight.
"What a strange rule, my God, what is this?" Shen Ruoxue's exclamation came at the right time, attracting Zhao Feihong's attention. On the screen of the underwater detector, Zhao Feihong saw a large group of shadow-like things. As an electronic engineer, Zhao Feihong naturally knew that it was a huge metal reaction, and according to the data on the screen, this pile of metal was scattered in the mud layer from thirty to one hundred meters, and most of them were about one hundred meters away. depth.
"We have made a fortune. This must be the location of the treasure. Only heavy metals will slowly sink into the sea mud to reach such a deep place. The deepest ones are gold, and the shallower ones should be silver." Zhao Feihong explained excitedly: "No wonder the digging The treasure company dare not disclose the amount of wealth. It is simply too much. Once it is announced, they will definitely be robbed. Start digging quickly and remember not to miss any treasure."
Shen Ruoxue reacted immediately. She directed the maintenance robot on the shuttle to dig up the sand and probe downwards. The maintenance robot was very efficient, and soon jewelry and silver were sent to the shuttle one after another. , but this work was soon forced to stop. The load space in the shuttle's cabin was limited, and it could not hold only 80 tons of treasure.
"Let's go back first, and then come back and continue digging." Seeing the harvest, Shen Ruoxue also became excited.
"No problem." Zhao Feihong nodded: "We will bring more maintenance robots here later. We must get rid of all the treasures overnight."
"This is no problem." Shen Ruoxue made an OK gesture, then drove the shuttle out of the water and flew into the distance.
