Chapter 11 Underwater Testing

The weather is sunny this day, but the waves in the sea area of ​​Shigui Island are still surging, so the situation in the sea is even more complicated.

Xia Yu, an old diver, also needed to be more cautious. He did not rush to go straight to the wreck they had discovered before. After Xia Mingguang helped him check his equipment, he adapted to it near Shigui Island. Compared with regular underwater archaeological operations, their conditions were undoubtedly much simpler, without so many equipment and manpower, and without strict diving rules and regulations. After all, it was all up to his extraordinary abilities.

Xia Yu also has a very deep understanding of this. Without this superpower, he would not do this. It would be like an old birthday boy eating arsenic - living impatiently!

Just like when he was diving yesterday, he was well equipped and became more and more like a fish in the sea. After opening the treasure tripod space, his underwater ability also made a qualitative leap, which was similar to getting "water-avoiding beads".

Not only is his breathing not limited by the depth of the water, but ten meters and twenty meters are not much different from the sea surface. Moreover, when he moves in the water, his physical energy consumption is greatly reduced than before.

After diving, he did various tests in the sea. Then, he had a sudden idea and tried to swim forward at full speed in the sea deep within five meters, trying to test and see how fast it was. There was no need to think about the super high speed of 110 kilometers per hour like Pacific Sailfish, which is definitely not enough.

But his speed was so fast that he felt unbelievable. According to the records of the diving computer, he wore so much diving equipment and swam more than a hundred meters away in just ten seconds.

Think about the world swimming record, 50 meters is 20 seconds 91. His result is enough to break the world record. Ten meters per second, the speed is similar to a 100-meter sprint...

To convert it, it is equivalent to reaching thirty-six or seven kilometers per hour, which is almost the speed of a fishing boat sailing at full speed, about twenty knots.

But he could not always maintain such a speed, without so much physical support, and he also had to consider the influence of various currents, tides, environment and other factors in the ocean. The average speed was almost the same as half.

This surprised him very much, because it means that as long as he replenishes his energy, he doesn't have to take a boat to Shigui Island, and the speed is almost the same, so he can be even more conscious.

As for using superpowers to win the world championship in the swimming team, this is not within his consideration of being a low-key person.

Xia Yu even thought that it would be better if he could be faster. But after sprinting at full speed, the consumption was still quite large.

It is worth mentioning that even though he has such a speed that is many times higher than ordinary people, he wants to collect without space, and the success rate of catching fish with bare hands is still not high. The fish are fast and very flexible in the water. His speed is incomparable to fish, so it is really difficult to catch them.

He didn't think about catching fish now, and continued to test his abilities, swim at about half the speed, see if he could persist for a long time, which is very important.

The test results prove that he could easily achieve this goal without leaving any effort.

"I feel like a mermaid!" Xia Yu looked at the counting situation on the diving computer, and based on his physical condition, he thought to himself.

This is naturally a good thing, but his mind is still quite clear. It is simply a delusion to conquer the ocean with this underwater speed that even ordinary fish cannot match.

After a person who has not been diving training for a long time goes into the sea, his brain will turn much slower than on the shore due to various reasons such as water pressure, breathing, air, and psychological conditions. Xia Yu is different. When he is in the sea, his brain is particularly clear, and he can only say that he is different if he cheats.

After testing the speed, Xia Yu began to test the impact of water pressure on his body again. He has not taken off his diving equipment for the time being.

And he also discovered that without realizing it, he swam more than 500 meters away and came to the top of the shipwreck he had discovered before.

This sea area is also extremely deep. The place where the shipwreck is located is about 40 meters away from the sea. Such a depth is very inconvenient for the development of underwater archaeology. When it is about 30 meters underwater, the light is already quite weak. Forty meters underwater, it basically requires diving flashlight lighting to see clearly. Of course, it is also related to the water quality and weather conditions.

Xia Yu had tested it yesterday, and the water depth of twenty meters had no effect on him. Now he tried to dive deeper.

He was already brave and had long been used to the world under the sea when diving. The ecological environment of the sea area of ​​Shigui Island was excellent, and it was not as silent and desolate as the deep sea, which made people creepy. Beautiful fish pass by him from time to time, and groups of yellow snappers are permanent residents here.

The deeper ocean world is magnificent and magnificent, with various terrain, cliffs, peaks, canyons, faults, caves, and even grasslands and deserts.

When Xia Yu dived, he did not forget to appreciate the scenery around him. He was also surprised to find that even without turning on the diving flashlight, his vision was not restricted, and everything underwater could be seen clearly. This was still the case when he did not actively turn on his perception.

The bright and beautiful coral fish swim around, the seahorses hiding in the seaweed, the abalone tightly absorbs on the cliff, the dirty meat and fishy smell are very bad, the big turtle swims comfortably, the black-winged shark is not scary at all, the grouper disguises as stones...

When he saw the suitable "guests", he also invited them all into the space to serve as guests. If it was not delicious, it would be fine.

He continued to dive, and as he got deeper and deeper, he did not feel any inappropriate in his body. Thirty meters, thirty-five meters, and marine life gradually decreased.

When he was forty meters deep, he was still walking on flat ground, as if the water pressure had no effect on him at all.

But Xia Yu, who was cautious by nature, did not relax his vigilance, activated his active perception, and closely monitored the situation within five meters around him.

It can be seen from the naked eye that half of the wood exposed outside the mud and sand was already mottled.

They discovered this shipwreck by accident. At first, they caught the porcelain scattered around them. Then, the agile Xia Yu dived down and discovered the shipwreck due to his good water quality.

Now, he has salvaged all the porcelains. Due to time, equipment, weather, external environment and other factors, and he does not want to violently destroy the ship. Ordinary fishermen cannot wait if they don’t have time. They basically use explosives to blow up the wreck and then salvage the treasures inside.

Xia Yu was a little conscientious and conscientious. He did not do such unethical things, but he did not think about reporting and receiving the award. The father and son kept a tight mouth on this. He basically dived down to the water to salvage when he had time. He moved only a few pieces of porcelain at a time and would not attract much attention.

According to his previous research, the entire ship was about twenty meters long. After hitting the reef and sinking, except for some porcelain scattered at the bottom of the sea, most of the hull was buried by mud and sand.

Before this, Xia Yu had only better water properties. He could stay at the 40-meter-deep seabed and stayed for a longer period of time than others, and his physical and psychological pressure was not that great during this period.

He does not have particularly professional salvage equipment, and it is a difficult task just to clean the silt and sand that buried the hull.

Generally, underwater archaeology and shipwreck salvage will use many groups of divers to take turns using various high-tech equipment. Moreover, it basically takes several months or even years, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Fortunately, Xia Yu was very patient and was like ant moving, but he maintained his early operation and successfully waited for the opening of the Baoding Space and the upgrading of his own underwater capabilities.

Now, the preliminary survey work has been completed, and the next step of salvage can be carried out.

Xia Yu has studied various documentaries about the salvage of shipwrecks. He went to the Maritime Silk Road Museum, not far from their home most frequently. There are shipwrecks of the Song Dynasty that cost hundreds of millions of yuan to salvage. The cultural relics inside have not been cleaned up yet.

He also learned a lot of knowledge and experience from it, and most importantly, his ability upgrades.

In the past, it was difficult to describe him and could not handle the mud and sand with mechanical equipment. He could use the space collection function to separate it from the hull and the cargo in the cabin.

Xia Yu had nothing to complain about these particularly difficult mud and sand. Because he knew that without the protection of these mud and sand, the hull and cargo would be damaged or washed away by ocean currents, the rise and fall of tides, the salt of sea water and various marine organisms, just like the scattered porcelain fragments around him. It is impossible that most of them would be preserved in such a complete manner. It can be said that this is a miracle.

There are many wrecks on the seabed around the world nowadays. In addition to fishing boats and warships that are not worth much, they are full of cargo, and they also have to be porcelain, pottery, and metal products that are not easily eroded by sea water. The value is incalculable.

After Xia Yu turned around the shipwreck for several times, he confirmed that the location and all the items were not touched by others, and he did not immediately start salvage.

He was still planning to test his body's compressive ability first, and he was more cautious and tested one by one. Even if he could "change one-click" now, he would first have a compressed air bottle, adjust the respirator bit by bit, and finally turn off the supply of compressed air, and find that he could still breathe freely.

Xia Yu was wondering if his treasure tripod space could directly supply air to him.

This means that he can stay as long as he wants.

Secondly, underwater forty meters, according to his previous diving experience, it should have been relatively cold, but now he doesn't feel the cold at all. Instead, he is constantly exercising and his body is particularly warm.

In addition, if he doesn't use diving flashlight now, he can still see the seabed that should have been particularly dim.

Moreover, it seemed that the four atmospheric pressures at a depth of 40 meters did not cause any burden on his body at all, and he did not feel any discomfort at all.
