Chapter 30 The pearl in the spiral (above)
Thought of this will have turned his head through the observation window to see the deep stream in the movement, unexpectedly just turned his head, a whole body pimple rough skin, like flower rock fish, I do not know when appeared in the side of the “diving bell”, swinging his tail toward the copper cabin where I am hard to hit, immediately hit the diving bell buzzing inside, I was in the inside after the I fell to the west and the searchlight outside was immediately extinguished by it, the fish hit the past, and then again turned back from the water, open mouth raging to, it seems to want to swallow the copper cabin.
Most of the aquatic species in the sea should be the moon and real, born with the nature of the moon, this sudden attack of the big fish, it seems to be attracted by the lights on the diving bell, swinging its head and tail again, the diving bell was hit by it, it was already shaking a lot, hanging outside the two searchlights went out on the spot, I heard the cabin metal fluctuating sound, I know that if it is hit again, the seal of the copper cabin may be ruptured into the water.
The British modified this set of special diving bell, dedicated to reconnaissance in the dangerous seabed, in order to cope with the harsh operating environment, in addition to some sophisticated design, there are also perfect defense measures around the cabin, the observation window has an iron grille, can prevent the seabed by the ocean currents driven to hit the reef, but in the face of the activities of the sea fish, I had to take emergency measures, pull the control of the spikes of the safety pins, so that the diving bell outside of the A dozen steel spikes were erected outside the diving bell, and the copper cabin immediately turned into a metal “hedgehog”.
Water thorns just popped out of the slot, the seven or eight meters long skin as stubborn as a big fish on the head to swim, it also seems to know that the sharp steel thorns of the power, but then dodge has been too late, although the head of the fish turned, the fish body was stabbed squarely in its body of tough skin and flesh cut a long mouth, dragging a stream of turbid blood into the seabed.
In another dive bell in the captain of the boat Ruan Hei turn the searchlight, looking for blood tracking, I looked down through the observation window, only to see a few big sharks attracted by the blood from the coral bush, ran to the injured fish chasing and biting, a time, the bottom of the sea of the fine sand and mud algae are stirred up, coupled with a large number of blood mixed with water, sharks hunting all covered up the situation.
I secretly said a good risk, it seems that the South China Sea egg people picking eggs camp, can really not be easier than the gold inspector tomb raiding, this time to explore the underwater terrain of the lamps and lanterns are damaged, erected steel spikes also hindered part of the field of vision, diving bell and then stay underwater has no meaning, I hurriedly told the boat with the call tube, unloading counterweights, in accordance with decompression plan to the copper cabin slowly rise to the surface of the water.
Two diving bell has been out of the water, the trident ship did not go into the water, see the diving bell copper shell was actually in the sea by the fish bumped a large piece of concave, are not at first glance, everyone understands that the South China Sea egg collection action is officially kicked off, in order to fish out the good “green head”, but also take greater risks.
But we all know that not top a thousand feet of waves, it is difficult to get ten thousand pounds of fish reasoning, wealth and fortune must be sought in the risk, now since we have found the coral spiral in the old snail where the giant mussels hide, the egg thing will have a brow, the people’s morale is greatly invigorated, all shaking with energy and busy cleaning up the deck, for the sea to pick beads to do the preparations for the whole thing.
I stood on the deck to look at the sea surface situation, the rough South China Sea even without wind also has three feet of waves, but the tide recedes, this coral spiral is calm exceptionally, the sky although the clouds are dense, but there is no sign of wind and surge, if not before the sea gas venting appeared to take the water of the dragon’s horrible phenomenon, and now the condition of this sea may not be able to have such a stable now, it is really rushed early as well as rushed coincidentally, the tide level is very low. The tide level is very low, it is a good opportunity to dive.
I looked around, and suddenly found a dark island on the surface of the sea in the direction of the stern of the ship, which I had not found before going into the water, when did it appear? Hurriedly raised the binoculars to take a closer look, and from time to time I heard that the islands that suddenly appeared in the sea are the backbone of the big fish and the tortoise shell of the giant tortoise, and there are unknowing people stopping the boat to land, which led to the dive of the giant fish, dragging the people and the boat into the bottom of the sea.
Shirley Yang said just now she has let Uncle Ming and other people with the seismic artillery reconnaissance, that is not floating out of the big sea beasts, but a due to the role of the tides and the production of the “ghost island”, when the tide rises the black island will sink underwater, the tide level will fall and then there will be a portion of the exposed sea surface, sometimes hidden and sometimes appear, so it is called the “ghost island”. “Ghost Island”.
Coral spiral is a variety of mysterious phenomena in the sea convergence of the region, there is a ghost island is not surprising, we have heard rumors about the ghost island in the coral temple village, the local fishermen egg people called it “black whale”, rumors are many, but not many people have really seen it, if there is this island as a reference, salvage operations will be If we have this island as a reference point, the salvage operation will be twice as fast with half the effort.
I intend to let Uncle Ming to the ghost island boat to sail over to the top to check, but Shirley Yang said she has a bad feeling about the island, should not be a safe place to go, or not close to the best, advised me to give up this idea, do not take unnecessary risks, and the tide level is too low, the ghost island around the terrain of the high ground, the Trident is difficult to get close to.
Shirley Yang then asked me if I had found traces of the wreck on the seabed. “Sinking” word in the sea is the most taboo to mention, talking about shipwrecks will be used as a cryptic “rise” instead of the word, but I do not believe in this evil, especially during the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards broke the Four Olds broken to the rivers, lakes, and seas above, when traveling on the boat forced the captain of the boat to yell more than 1,000 times! “Sink” word, did not see the boat sink, since then I do not believe in this, may be on board if there are eight hard enough people just want to let the boat sink is also difficult, Shirley Yang is even less of this kind of Chinese taboos.
I shrugged my shoulders to her, the bottom of the sea is not even a boat shadow, but can not give up hope, because I found a few deep and shallow troughs, like the bottom of the sea in the deep valley, look at the nearby snails and mussels coral and iron trees, are rare, if not the bottom of the sea is too angry, difficult to have this kind of landscape, you can be sure that this is the end of the South Dragon Vein, if the bottom of the sea is really a yin fire, it must be from the deep valley of these several If the seabed really have Yin fire, must be from these deep valleys, then the legendary shipwreck cemetery should not be far from here, let the people pay more attention when the sea egg collection, there may be breakthroughs in the discovery.
Shirley Yang nodded in agreement, this time more Ling beckoned to the deck to call the group to open the meal, we will go down to the cabin to eat a full meal, and in the meantime to discuss the egg harvesting plan, in accordance with my boss Ruan Hei and I in the bottom of the sea reconnaissance feedback, the coral forest to the topography of the map has been drawn into a simple map.
