1084. Discovery of the golden ship

The riots in Somalia happened a few years ago, and the situation is not that bad now. At least the entire Mogadishu has been controlled by the government forces.

However, there is still a warlike atmosphere on the streets. Every now and then, soldiers are on guard patrol. There are no traffic lights in the city. Because there is no need, soldiers are constantly coming up to check the identity of the car. From the airport to the dock, the Hummer driven by Bird was checked more than ten times.

Compared to the airport, the discipline of these soldiers was very good. Qin Shiou once felt that they were too delayed in investigation, so he took out a hundred dollars and handed it to the soldiers. As a result, they waved their hands and didn't want it.

Bird explained to him: "These soldiers are all recruits trained by the United Nations. The instructors are composed of soldiers from the United States, Germany, China, and Russia. They have very strict discipline requirements. If it were the past, you don't have to pay for it yourself. The soldiers of the government army will help you clean up your wallet."

When he arrived at the dock, Qin Shiou heard a crisp sound of "crackling" not far away. He is now playing with guns every day, and immediately determined that it was a gunshot, and that it was a small-caliber assault rifle firing.

So he subconsciously hid behind the Hummer. Black Knife pulled him up and shook his head, saying, "What is someone celebrating? The gun is obviously firing at the sky. If you don't hear the 'swoosh' sound, don't be afraid. Only the 'swoosh' sound means someone fires in the direction of you."

The other soldiers looked calm. Although they emphasized that when they were mercenaries, they rarely went to the battlefield, but it was obvious that this was not the case. These guys have seen the world.

There is an old fishing boat on the dock, and Bird drove over to himself.

The Hummer was clean, but it was different when you got on the fishing boat. As soon as Bird got on the boat, he opened the storage box, and there were about a dozen AK-74 neatly discharged inside, and the other storage box was yellow and orange bullets, as if they were going to fight.

The soldiers picked up an ak and pulled the bolt to a "kick" sound. The bullets were loaded directly and the security was opened, so Qin Shiou was a little scared: "No, it's necessary to be so nervous?"

Bird said: "The urban security in Mogadishu is very good. Even thieves are rare. It is different at sea. All the sins are transferred to the sea. So we have to be prepared. If there is a channel, I plan to purchase a batch of rockets."

Sure enough, when the fishing boats drove out, the more ships they went deeper into the sea. Large fishing boats and yachts were parked on the sea, and the fishing boats drove past. Qin Shiou could see that the guards on the boat were armed to their teeth.

"These are gambling ships, poison ships, yellow ships, black market ships, and illegal business on land is here now. Moreover, many of these ships will turn into pirate ships at night and rob each other." Black Knife introduced.

Qin Shiou said in surprise: "It's so messy?"

BB Shuang laughed and said, "It was just a mess when we were here four years ago. The government and the youth army fought every day, and the city was in chaos. At that time, as long as you had a gun in your hand, you could take away whatever you were looking for, and you could steal it directly if you were looking for a woman."

Qin Shiou had never seen such a scene. He was still in China four years ago, but there was not much news about the Somalia civil war in China, and I didn’t know that it would be so chaotic.

However, Bird and others were just extreme cases. They left the dock and drove for several hours before they arrived near the salvage boat. During this period, they encountered many boats, but there was no conflict. The sea was calm, and some locals were rowing boats to sell food.

What surprised Qin Shiou a little was that the food these people sold actually contained Chinese food, of course, mainly halal food. Because Somalia is a Muslim country.

After arriving at this nominal scientific research ship, as soon as Qin Shiou got on board, Billy gave him a bear hug and said happily: "Hello, Professor Qin, you are finally here!"

Professor Qin Shiou was stunned, then laughed and said, "Dr. Billy, long time no see, I'm very happy to know you."

There was a black man on the deck of the boat. When he heard their name, the black man said in admiration: "God, you guys are so powerful. You are so young, you are doctors and professors, that's amazing."

Billy introduced to Qin Shiou that this black man was naturally sent by the Somali government to monitor them. His name was very long, so Qin Shiou remembered his nickname, just like a football superstar, named Abu.

Qin Shiou brought fresh hot dishes to the boat. Billy and others were ecstatic. The black man named Abu even ran back to his room with a large plate of chicken, locked the door and went to taste it by himself.

Looking at the happy expressions that a group of people showed when eating vegetables, Qin Shiou laughed and said, "Is it too exaggerated?"

Billy swallowed it voraciously and said, "It's no exaggeration. We haven't eaten fresh vegetables for a long time. Damn it. We only go to the shore every week. Try to keep a low profile. We usually live on sea fish and so on. I vomit even when I eat seafood!"

Too much is not enough. For people who live on the sea all year round, the word seafood is similar to the fatty meat that is irrelevant.

After taking a few quick bites, Billy winked at Qin Shiou and whispered: "We have done a submarine terrain inspection. The Francisco Pizarro is here, about ten kilometers northward. Contact your pet and get a piece of ore while Abu is not there."

The Francisco Pizarro is the wreck of gold ore. It is a Spanish sailing ship launched during the Age of Discovery and is one of the largest Spanish transport ships at that time.

Francisco Pizarro was an illiterate adventurer in Spain and a conqueror of the Peruvian Inca Empire. He ushered in the era of Spain conquering South America and the founder of the modern Peruvian capital Lima. In the era of great navigation without moral values, this person was the pride of Spain.

But from the perspective of modern people, this is an absolute villain, a butcher, a killer, and a hateful slave trader.

Qin Shiou was not interested in studying Francisco Pizarro. He just learned about the wreckage ship and put the consciousness of the sea god into the water.

With Billy's information, it was very easy for Qin Shiou to find the wreck. As soon as the sea god's consciousness almost entered the water and controlled the waters under the sea, he saw the giant ship that was already in ruins.

The Francisco Pizarro is a multi-mast transport ship, but because it transports hard and heavy goods such as ore, it almost broke into pieces after hitting the seabed during the sinking process. Qin Shiou couldn't see its original appearance.
