Golden Fishery

The riots in Somalia happened a few years ago, and the situation is not so bad now, at least the whole of Mogadishu has been controlled by government forces.

However, there is still a sense of war on the streets. There are soldiers standing guard and patrolling every now and then. There are no traffic lights in the city. Because they are not needed, soldiers keep coming up to check the identity of the car. From the airport to the pier, the Hummer driven by Byrd was checked more than ten times. Second-rate.

Compared with the airport, the discipline of these soldiers is actually very good. Once Qin Shiou felt that their investigation was too late, so he took out a hundred dollars and handed it to the soldiers, but 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, and they have strict requirements for discipline. If it was before, you don't have to pay for it yourself. The government Army soldiers will clean out your wallet for you."

When he arrived at the pier, Qin Shiou heard the crisp sound of "cracking" not far away when he got out of the car. He also plays with guns every day now, so he immediately judged that it was the sound of gunfire, and it was a small-caliber assault rifle firing.

So, he subconsciously hid behind the Humvee, Hei Dao pulled him up and shook his head, saying: "Is this someone celebrating something? The gun was obviously firing at the sky, if you didn't hear 'whoosh' Don't be afraid of the whoosh, only the 'whoosh' means someone is shooting in your direction."

The other soldiers looked indifferent. Although they emphasized that when they were mercenaries, they were only small soldiers who rarely went to the battlefield, but this is obviously not the case. These guys have seen the world.

There was an old-fashioned fishing boat on the pier, and Bird had driven it by himself.

The inside of the Hummer was clean, but it was different on the fishing boat. As soon as Byrd got on the boat, he opened the storage box first, and there were a dozen AK-74 neatly arranged in it, and the other storage box was full of yellow and orange bullets, as if he was about to go to war.

Each of the soldiers picked up an AK and pulled the bolt of the gun with a 'click' sound. The bullets were loaded directly and the safety was in the open state, so Qin Shiou was a little frightened: "Isn't it, do you need to be so nervous?"

Bird said: "The law and order in Mogadishu is very good. Even petty theft is rare. The sea is different, and all the crimes are transferred to the sea. So we have to be prepared. If there is a channel, I plan to Purchased the last batch of rockets."

Sure enough, the fishing boats went out, and the deeper the sea, the more boats there were. There were also large fishing boats and yachts parked on the sea, and the fishing boats passed by. Qin Shiou could see that the guards on the boat were armed to the teeth.

"These are gambling boats, drug boats, yellow boats, and black market boats. Illegal business on land is here now. Moreover, many of these boats will turn into pirate ships at night.

Rob each other. "Hei Dao introduced.

Qin Shiou was surprised and said, "It's so messy?"

BB Shuang laughed and said: "Four years ago, when we were here, there was chaos. The government army 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 whatever you liked. Whichever woman you like can be snatched away directly."

Qin Shiou had never seen such a scene before. He was still in China four years ago, but there was not much news about the civil war in Somalia in China, so he didn't know it would become such a mess.

However, what Byrd and others said was only an extreme situation. They left the pier and drove for a few hours before reaching the vicinity of the salvage ship. During this period, they encountered many ships, but there was no conflict. The sea is calm, and some locals sell food in small boats.

What surprised Qin Shiou a little. The food these people sell actually has 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 boarded, Billy first gave him a bear hug and said happily, "Professor Qin, hello, you are finally here!"

Professor Qin? Qin Shiou was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said, "Dr. Billy, long time no see. Nice to meet you."

There was a black man on the deck of the ship. Hearing their address, the black man said with some admiration: "God, you people are really amazing. It's amazing to be a doctor and professor at such a young age."

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, which was called Abu just like a football superstar.

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

Looking at the happy expressions of a group of people eating vegetables, Qin Shiou laughed and said, "Isn't it too exaggerated?"

Billy gobbled it up, and said, "No exaggeration, we haven't eaten fresh vegetables for a long time, damn it, we only go to the shore once a week, try to keep a low profile, usually rely on sea fish and the like, I eat seafood I vomited!"

Too much is too much, the word seafood is almost the same as greasy fat for people who live at sea all year round.

After taking a quick bite, Billy winked at Qin Shiou, and said in a low voice: "We have done a survey of the seabed topography, and the Francisco Pizarro is here, about ten kilometers due north, contact your Pet, hurry up and get a piece of ore while Abu is away."

The Francisco Pizarro was the sunken ship carrying the gold ore. It was a Spanish galleon launched in the Age of Discovery and one of the largest Spanish transport ships at that time.

Francisco Pizarro was an illiterate Spanish adventurer and conqueror of the Inca Empire in Peru. He opened the era of Spanish conquest of South America and the founder of Lima, the capital of modern Peru. In the age of great exploration without moral values, this man was the pride of Spain.

But from the eyes of modern people, this is an out-and-out villain, butcher, killer, and a hateful slave trader.

Qin Shiou was not interested in studying Francisco Pizarro, he just had a general understanding of the shipwreck, and then put the sea god consciousness into the water.

With Billy's information, it was very easy for Qin Shiou to find the sunken ship. As soon as the sea god's consciousness entered the water and controlled the waters on the bottom of the sea, he saw the dilapidated huge ship.

The Francisco Pizarro is a multi-masted transport ship, but because it was transporting hard and heavy cargo such as ore, it was almost smashed to pieces after hitting the bottom of the sea during the sinking process, and Qin Shiou couldn't see its original appearance clearly.

Many parts of the shipwreck have been decayed, the ship is covered with small conch shells, some algae have settled on the ship, and the turbulent undercurrent for hundreds of years has brought a lot of sea mud. The shipwreck is almost completely buried, as if growing from the bottom of the sea. came out the same. (to be continued)
