Chapter 1026 – Bombardment (II)

After Professor Meng heard Zhuang Rui’s words, he nodded and said, “That’s fine, Director Wu, what do you think?”

All the items salvaged this time, including those artifacts that were previously agreed to be under Zhuang Rui’s custody for five years, had long since been transported away by the warships that were on alert at the periphery of the waters, so this ship, in fact, was tasked with the role of transporting the people back.

Zhuang Rui’s suggestion is also desirable, send people to the shore, in the transfer of the plane back to Beijing, that speed is much faster than the boat.

“Prof. Meng, I can’t! Tianjin port side also organized the welcome ceremony, this …… this ship does not sail back, then welcome who ah?”

Director Wu shook his head with a bitter face, this matter really made it difficult for him, the itinerary was already arranged, and a rash change would cause a series of consequences.

“Cough cough, Director Wu, there’s nothing anyone can do when the ship breaks down is there? You explain it to that side!”

Zhuang Rui finished his words and stood up, he was hung up on the objects at the bottom of the sea, he really didn’t want to bullshit with Director Wu here, as for making excuses, that’s definitely the strong point of government officials, he didn’t believe that Director Wu couldn’t smooth this out?

“Hey …… hey, Professor Meng, you …… look, what kind of attitude is this?”

See Zhuang Rui out of the room, the Wu director of the angry even words can not speak well, this is not to him on the eye of the medicine it?

However, the Wu Secretary to take Zhuang Rui is not a little way, others one did not serve in the government, the second is not salvage in domestic waters, coupled with the background behind it, not to mention the Wu Secretary, even behind him Yu Vice Minister can not pinch Zhuang Rui.

“Director Wu, Xiao Zhuang has sacrificed a lot for this salvage, I think …… it is understandable for him to make this request.”

Professor Meng but did not speak to the Secretary Wu, he knows that the value of the artifacts out of the water is not very high, Zhuang Rui has said do not want, so, Zhuang Rui time-consuming and exhausting salvage operations, such as a little bit of benefit did not get.

To know, this lasted into a month of Awa Maru salvage action, at least cost Zhuang Rui tens of millions of yuan, others did not look for the country to ask for money is already high style.

“Old Li, you this in the sea fought a lifetime of fish, what wind and waves have passed through, still afraid of this palm-sized place?”

Zhuang Rui put down three speedboats from the cruise ship and sailed to the outskirts of the reef area, and was now preparing to enter the reef area under the leadership of Old Li.

As for how Chief Wu replied to the leaders in Beijing, Zhuang Rui did not care at all, but when he left the cruise ship just now, Chief Wu told Zhuang Rui with a stern face that he must return to the voyage tomorrow.

“Mr. Zhuang, this drowning people can swim, there’s nothing wrong with being careful.”

Compared to Zhuang Rui’s relaxed expression, Lao Li’s face was a bit tense, back then he had driven a sampan boat to break through this Devil’s Reef area and almost planted himself in it.

Only this time the team is more powerful, Zhuang Rui’s these three assault boats are specially made by the army, the bottom has a thick alloy plate, as long as it’s not driving full power and hard to the reef, the general small collision on the speedboat’s impact is not very big.

“It’s okay, and not I go down alone, this hand is not still a shark hunting gun? Even if you encounter a shark, you don’t have to be afraid.”

Zhuang Rui patted Lao Li’s shoulder, changed into a diving suit, this reef area is not very deep, only more than twenty meters, Zhuang Rui as long as the oxygen tank, unarmed can dive down.

Behind Zhuang Rui, there are two divers belonging to the Maritime Bureau, are the salvage operation neutralized a great deal of credit, so they have to follow Zhuang Rui together to look for the sea pearl, Wu director also turned a blind eye.

That said, no one is too little money, Zhuang Rui can find a black pearl worth tens of millions of dollars in these waters, these two also want to take a chance, maybe it can really make a fortune?

Just these two people do not know, this diving trip, to their life brought a huge change, their two names, also be permanently inscribed in the history books.

Yao Zhen, the current security chief of the cruise ship who followed behind Zhuang Rui, is an old subordinate of Li Zhen, holding a disk of rope in his hand and said, “Mr. Zhuang, you tie this rope to your waist, in case something happens immediately pull the rope.”

Originally Yao Zhen was insisting on going into the water with Zhuang Rui, was rejected by Zhuang Rui, he knew that Yao Zhen water sex is not good, just like Li Kui on the shore kung fu is good, but to the water, not the same by the waves of white stripe dunked a seven meat and eight pigeon?

“Xiao Yao, I said it’s fine.”

Zhuang Rui was about to excuse himself, but seeing Xiao Yao’s firm face, he nodded and said, “Okay! I’ll pull the rope right away if there’s a problem.”

Zhuang Rui took out three more bags of potion and handed each of the other two divers a bag, saying, “If you encounter a shark, just pinch it with your hand, the shark will immediately retreat when it smells this flavor.”

The potion Zhuang Rui took was developed by foreign scientists, specifically for water operations to prevent shark attacks, the effect is very good.

“Alright, just stop here!”

Zhuang Rui “see” here from the place full of unknown aura, only seven or eight meters away, then called a halt to the speedboat, turned back to the sea and sat on the side of the speedboat.

A very standard back into the water action, the calm sea splashed a splash, Zhuang Rui’s figure still disappeared, the other two divers at the same time also into the sea.

Although and salvage the wreck of the sea is only separated by twenty or thirty nautical miles, but this reef area of the fish species, obviously a lot richer, a group of colorful Zhuang Rui can not call the name of the fish in the side of the cruise, the scenery is very beautiful.

“Shit, it won’t be such a coincidence, right? Sharks?!”

Zhuang Rui had just dived down to a depth of five or six meters, when he found that directly in front of him swam over a big shark that was silver in color, about three meters long, with very smooth lines, and the white teeth were clearly visible in that lower jaw.

“Damn, bad luck.”

Zhuang Rui a pinch broke the bag in his hand, a formless and colorless liquid immediately mixed into the sea water, after throwing away the bag, Zhuang Rui right hand index finger on the shark gun trigger, as long as that big guy has some movement, he is ready to pre-emptive strike.

Fortunately, this foreign scientists developed the agent, and not like the domestic sale of powerful pills or rat medicine, medicine does not die of rats and eat people, the effect is very obvious.

When the liquid touched the sea water, only a few seconds, specific Zhuang Rui more than ten meters away from the big shark, like being stepped on the tail of the cat in general, turned his head and swam away, instantly disappeared.

Seeing this scene, the two divers following behind also put down their hearts, rushed to Zhuang Rui raised their thumbs, and continued to swim to the bottom of the sea.

More than twenty meters of ocean depth, a few minutes of time to go down to the bottom of the sea, the marine life below is far more than the wreck salvage place, all kinds of seaweed between the fish and lobster sea mussels can be seen swimming.

Zhuang Rui pretended to pick up a sea clam that had just closed its shell and threw it into the backpack he was carrying, then followed the seabed and swam all the way to the place where the unknown aura was.

“What the …… hell is this?”

The place Zhuang Rui chose to enter the water was already very close to that aura, and after just a few breaths, he saw the object.

It was a rectangular object, about a meter and a half long and about a meter wide, stuck between two reefs.

Although the box was covered with seaweed, Zhuang Rui could be sure that it was a box just from its appearance, only that Zhuang Rui had some doubts in his mind, why did this box not decay for more than half a century?

This answer in Zhuang Rui’s fingers touched the box, got the explanation, dare to say this is a tin box, or in the middle of the two layers of wood, was wrapped in a layer of white iron.

Although the wood has been completely rotten off, but those iron skin has not been seawater corrosion through, but Zhuang Rui reached out and poked on it, feeling that this iron skin is estimated to not last long.

“Inside …… is it really a fossilized skull?”

Dial the box surface attached to the seaweed on the top, Zhuang Rui heart turned up the shocking waves, spare him these years used to seeing a variety of exotic treasures, but in the face of this may carry a heavy history of skull fossil front, Zhuang Rui’s mood still can not be calm.

Looked down the box was stuck parts, can only pull out and can not move up, due to the box tin decay is also very strong, Zhuang Rui did not dare to act rashly, but with his hand in the lip of the microphone at the knock a few simple signals.

Not far from Zhuang Rui two divers heard the signal, immediately swam over, saw the box stuck in the reef, also surprised.

After the three used hand signals to gesture, it was decided that one person would push from behind the reef and the two would pull in front, pulling the box out first.

After Zhuang Rui and a diver cleaned up the slippery seaweed, each of them held one side of the box and pulled it outward, only the box was really rotten, just when Zhuang Rui had just exerted his strength, he felt that the iron skin seemed to come off under his hands and open up.

“Not good!”

Zhuang Rui looked down, this half side of the tin under his and another diver’s force, the whole are detached from the box, two round objects, from the box rolled out.

“This …… is …… this.”

In the eyes to see these two objects, Zhuang Rui’s heart is like being tightened, at this moment, the oxygen seems to have lost its effect, Zhuang Rui completely forgot that he was in the depths of the sea.

From the box rolled out of the two round objects, the body presents a kind of jade luster, the color is slightly yellow, the middle of the two holes shows that this is the two human skull.

And the petrified shape of the skulls and the unique kind of jade texture, even if a person who does not know much about the industry to distinguish, can also tell that this is not an ordinary human skull.

Carrying a period of China’s historical memory, carrying several generations of people’s hard search, carrying the greatest discovery of human scientific research, suddenly presented in front of Zhuang Rui.
