For three days, Zhu Yu went below the port every day and wandered around the huge warship.
I have thought of all the ways, but none of them can completely solve the problem.
The stupidest way is to use a shovel to dig little by little, but the amount of work is really huge.
First of all, those things are at least tens of meters away from the edge of the warship, and the warship sinks very deep. If it is dug alone, the amount of work will be too large.
Furthermore, there is not only sea sand but also rocks under the port, which cannot be dug out with a shovel.
Zhu Yu once planned to put the entire warship into the space, but after measuring the dimensions, he gave up the idea. The warship was really too big and his space could not bear it.
If the jade pendant is confiscated and the space is occupied, it will be a big loss!
This risk definitely cannot be taken.
Then Zhu Yu knew that there was nothing he could do with his current abilities.
Fortunately, there is the Internet now. He searched online and found that there was equipment that could be used - an underwater cutting machine.
Zhu Yu immediately ordered two units.
The next step is to wait patiently.
At present, the news in the Philippines that Zhu Yu found the treasure has not completely disappeared, so Zhu Yu sent the things to Chen Yonghao in Jakarta.
Then Zhu Yu and the others left Cao Dalong waiting at the port. Zhu Yu and Ran Jie Qin flew back on the yacht, got their things and came back.
In fact, Zhu Yu estimated that there should be similar equipment at Rock Island Port, but in order not to alert others, it was better to be on the safe side and buy it from other places.
After this back and forth, it was already ten days after I picked up the equipment and returned to the port.
After arriving, Cao Dalong reported a new situation as soon as he boarded the ship.
"This yacht has been near the port since yesterday, and people dive there every day. I don't know what they are doing. But it's very suspicious."
Cao Dalong pointed to a semi-old large yacht and said.
"I didn't pay attention at first, but today I saw divers on top of it getting off the port, so I paid attention. I spent some money to inquire and found out that this yacht was registered on the Baodao side, but in fact I heard clearly that the people on the boat were speaking Japanese.”
"Can you understand Japanese?" Ran Jie joked.
"I don't understand, but I know this is Japanese." Cao Dalong's face turned slightly red.
Zhu Yu didn't dwell on this. He looked at the yacht, thought for a while and said:
"Today we will go into the water to conduct reconnaissance to see what they are doing. If their goals are the same as ours, then we have to adopt some strategies!"
The items have been obtained, but it’s hard to say whether they can be used now.
Everyone knew that Zhu Yu always wanted to make a fortune in silence, so they all understood what he meant.
"Tomorrow I will keep an eye on the yacht. If they want to go into the water, I will also go into the water and follow them from a distance. We have good eyesight and can see what they are doing." Ran Jie said first.
"I'll go find out more." Cao Dalong also expressed his thoughts, "Let's see what they are here for."
Zhu Yu and Qin Fei stayed on the yacht. Zhu Yu's target is too big and easy to be discovered, while Qin Fei controls the yacht and protects Zhu Yu.
The next day, Zhu Yu's ship dropped anchor five hundred meters away from the other party's ship. Ran Jie entered the water first and came up after a while.
In the morning, two divers from the other side entered the water, and Ran Jie followed them.
About ten minutes later, Ran Jie came up, holding two big shells in his hands, lying on the side of the yacht, and said to Zhu Yu:
"Boss, they went down to the warship, circled around the warship, and sprinkled something. But it seems that their target was also on that warship."
Hearing this, Zhu Yu's heart sank slightly.
I thought that the Japanese soldiers who might have known about the treasure here were all gone, but I didn't expect that there were still descendants of the enemy!
It seems that the other party is indeed prepared!
Zhu Yu went into the water for Ran Jie and dived for a while, and saw the other two people far away beside the warship.
Zhu Yu's eyesight is much better than theirs. He can see the other party, but the other party cannot see him.
But this still made Zhu Yu feel a little heavy.
Looking at it like this, the other party didn't seem to have just discovered the warship, but rather seemed to have come prepared.
Because the opponent kept circling the warship, Zhu Yu couldn't get the cutting machine to work, so he just regarded it as a trip.
When the sky darkened and most of the boats had returned to the port, the divers on the yacht also returned to their seats. Zhu Yu simply ordered the boat to be driven back to the dock.
Cao Dalong came up and reported the information he had obtained.
"This yacht is a frequent visitor here. It comes here once or twice a year. It is said that it is a descendant of the Japanese who originally lived here.
During the war, many relatives died in the war, so they came to pay their respects. "
Zhu Yu curled his lips and shook his head.
Pay homage, haha!
What about the liar?
From the looks of it, he was studying how to move the large warship away, and of course he moved it away quietly.
Of course, the other party may still have problems. After all, it is not like him who has clairvoyance and can see the exact location of the treasure buried under the warship.
If they don't have an exact location - even if they had a map before, it's different now. After all, once a warship sinks, it will sink a little bit every year. Who knows what changes will happen after dozens or hundreds of years.
Get your own cutting machine to find the shortest distance and cut in the fastest time.
But they couldn't do that.
This is the advantage.
Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:
"Let's adjust the plan next. We will work in two shifts at night to launch and cut the warships below. During the day, the yacht will go out, but mainly to rest."
"Cut the warship?" Ran Jie and others were a little confused.
Zhu Yu remembered that he hadn't explained it clearly to them yet, so he said:
"There should be a batch of treasure buried under the warship - more than what we found before. These things should have been plundered by the Japanese in those days. Maybe it was inconvenient to take them away, so they buried them underneath, and then sank the warship. On top."
"Then it must be done away with!" Cao Dalong waved his arms, "Boss, just tell me how to do it?"
"We brought back two underwater cutting machines. Two people went into the water at night, and two people were on the yacht. After going into the water, they cut the warship - the thing was too big to move or move.
If it explodes, it will make too much noise. My plan is to cut out a space from the nearest place, move the things inside, and make a fortune without anyone noticing! "
"Okay!" Ran Jie clapped his hands in agreement.
"Okay, let's eat later. When it gets dark, we'll start. Ran Jie and I will come first!"
Then the cutting task began.
After dinner that night, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie dived into the warship.
Zhu Yu already had an idea about where to cut.
But because of the new variables and the addition of those people, the original plan to cut directly from the outside had to be given up. Instead, we went inside the warship, all the way to the bottom, and then cut the steel plate from the bottom until it reached the place where the treasure was buried.
The problem is that the bottom of the warship is actually relatively thick, and the area is relatively small, making it easy to feel claustrophobic.
】
Fortunately, there are two of us. When we act together, at least we feel less lonely if we have a companion.
During the cutting inside the warship, the sound of grinding discs rubbing against steel was muffled, but it could not be transmitted too far underwater. This was exactly what Zhu Yu wanted.
Ran Jie and he both wore underwater headlamps. The light attracted some small fish and other creatures on the seabed, and the sound scared these creatures away.
The steel plate is very thick and cutting is very slow, but both of them are mentally prepared, so they are not in a hurry.
In fact, after only working for half a night, the cutting machine ran out of power and had to be charged.
So after Zhu Yu came up, he changed it to two people every night, rotating once a day. Rest during the day and charge the cutting machine.
During the day, Zhu Yu went to eat on the pier. The restaurant on the pier also served many kinds of food.
Over the years, tourists from China have spread all over the world. We are not exempt from vulgarity here, so the restaurants at the port also offer some Chinese food - although it is a variation, it is at least better looking and more delicious than some sticky food.
Zhu Yu and the four of them sat around the table and ordered their meals. When they were eating, two men and one woman came in from outside.
The accent of the three people speaking English was a bit strange, and Zhu Yu just raised his head and glanced at them. It's just two men, the girl is pretty pretty, and it seems like both men are courting her, so she should be the central figure.
The tone and expression of the three people made Zhu Yu guess that these three people should be Japanese people.
Sure enough, when the three of them went to another table to wait for their meal, Cao Dalong whispered:
"These three are the people on the yacht. It is said that they are led by a woman, which is rare."
Zhu Yu nodded slowly to express his understanding.
"There are still a few people on board, but they rarely come down. It is said that their status is relatively low."
Haha, status.
After eating, Zhu Yu and the others rested at the port hotel while charging the cutting machine.
In the evening, Ran Jie took Cao Dalong and Qin Fei to the seabed to continue cutting, while Zhu Yu rested in the hotel.
After going out to buy something, Zhu Yu discovered that the two men and one woman were also staying in the hotel when they were walking back. When they saw Zhu Yu, they said hello in a friendly manner.
Zhu Yu nodded and entered his room.
In the next few days, Zhu Yu could meet these three people every day, and he also learned their names through their proactive introductions.
The two men were named Kazuo Nobita and Nobuyoshi Nakamura, and the woman was Meiko Takeuchi, claiming to be here for a trip.
Zhu Yu naturally didn't believe it. He also claimed to be a tourist. It could be seen in the other person's eyes that he didn't believe it.
Fortunately, the two parties had no real intersection, they were just acquaintances. Zhu Yu reported that his name was Ning Wei, and the other party naturally didn't know that it was a pseudonym.
Five days later, a two-meter-square steel plate was finally cut out of the bottom of the warship. Zhu Yu and Ran Jie carefully removed the steel plate.
Below are layers of silt.
Zhu Yu put down the cutting machine, took the shovel and slowly pushed away the sand, revealing an iron box one meter long, half a meter wide and half a meter high underneath.
After making some gestures with Ran Jie, Zhu Yu took out the box with him and put it aside.
There was still a box below, but Zhu Yu did not get up again. Instead, he and Ran Jie put the steel plate back together, and also covered it with a layer of sand so that it could not be seen that it had been cut.
The two people carried the iron box and the cutting machine tools and slowly floated up.
When they got on the yacht, both of them were very tired, so they just put the box in the living room of the yacht, packed the tools, and rested first.
After resting for a while, the white fish belly appeared on the horizon, and Zhu Yu stood up and looked at the box.
It’s not really tiring, it’s just that after working hard for five nights, it’s starting to pay off, so naturally I need to relax.
Because it was expected that they would almost succeed today, besides him and Ran Jie, Cao Dalong and Qin Fei were also there.
One of them is in the cab and the other is on guard outside.
Zhu Yu looked at the iron box and found that there was a lock on it. Although it has been in the sea for so long, the lock does not seem to be completely rusted and has basically maintained its proper function.
Zhu Yu stretched out his hand and twisted the lock hard.
Opening the box revealed the yellow gold bricks inside.
This box weighs at least one hundred kilograms!
Different from the less-organized gold that was mined earlier, these gold bricks are obviously more orderly and have numbers on them.
Zhu Yu guessed that these gold bricks might have been looted by the Japanese when they occupied this area. At that time, various gold products could be melted into regular gold bricks in a leisurely manner, and then stored and transported away.
After all, when the Japanese invaded Northeast, North and East China, they did the same thing at the beginning - they first went to the treasury to take away valuables, and then slowly looted, burned, killed and looted.
Although some metal currency came back after the war, more remained with them.
The ones I see on hand have not been transported away.
I don’t know how many were actually transported away. Otherwise, why did Japan develop again so quickly after the war?
Zhu Yu retracted his thoughts - at this point, let's just take back some interest.
There will always be something to do.
after.
A box of gold was placed here. Ran Jie stood up, bent over, picked up a piece, weighed it in his hand, and said:
"Is this piece at least five kilograms?"
"almost."
Ran Jie put the gold bricks into the box and said with a smile:
"Not bad, not bad, I made another profit this time!"
He said and walked out:
"I'm going to change Dalong and ask him to come over and take a look. This thing will cheer you up!"
After a while, Cao Dalong ran in furiously. Looking at the gold in the box, he bent down and took a piece in surprise, weighed it, and said:
"At least five kilograms, right?"
"Um."
"Okay, okay!" He looked at it carefully for a while, put the gold into the box, and then ran out again:
"I'm going to change Qin Fei and take a look."
After watching the three people go around in a circle, Zhu Yu simply called them in:
"The three of you each get one piece, and that's the reward for this trip. You won't have any share in the rest."
"No, boss, you'd better change it into money for me." Cao Dalong picked up the gold, but put it down again, "It's really inconvenient to have this thing in your hand. It's better to change it into money."
The three of them had no objection at all to Zhu Yu only giving them a piece of gold.
Already very contented.
