The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 1643: Let's find the difference

The "John Barry" sank into the bottom of the sea at a depth of more than 2500 meters. Most of the crew were lucky enough to successfully board the lifeboat before the cargo ship sank, and was later rescued by a passing cargo ship nearby.

However, the rescued personnel only knew that in addition to a large number of ordinary military supplies, there were more than 2,000 tons of classified cargo on board. They did not know the type of cargo, and even the captain did not know that the single piece was small in size and heavy in weight.

As for the total weight, it is very easy to estimate. These heavy materials will make the cargo ship obviously overloaded. The crew does not need to look at the material list. The estimates are all estimated.

In order to find the wreck of the "John Barry" as much as possible for the "Deep Diver" this trip, the salvage company and the "United Force" spent a lot of thought in advance. In order to determine the content of the cargo, they even let the related parties search and seal it for nearly 50 years. , An old FBI file that has not yet been decrypted.

Laws and regulations are a big sieve and broken fishing net in the face of money and relationships.

The cold information needs to be checked. Now there is still a crew member on the "Deep Diver" who worked on the "John Barry". He is a deck sailor who also served as a crane operator.

The reason for pulling on such a number is to locate the cargo in each compartment of the cargo ship as accurately as possible after finding the sunken ship.

You can also determine the positions of the cabins by looking at the drawings of Ziyoulun, but the shipwreck is in various conditions and weird. The presence of such a person who participated in the loading and unloading work should be able to avoid invalid labor as much as possible.

The average depth of the Arabian Sea has reached 2734 meters. According to previous investigations, it is roughly determined that the shipwreck is located 120 to 30 nautical miles from the coast, where the water depth exceeds 8,000 feet!

At such a depth, the wreckage of the hull is cut a few meters away, which would waste a lot of time and money!

It is expected that "John Barry" is lying on the seabed at 8,500 feet above the sea surface, which is nearly 2,600 meters underwater. Not to mention Hasti's salvage operations, it takes a lot of time to dive.

Thanks to the history of insufficient sailors due to the massive construction of the Liberty Ship, and the recruitment of a large number of young people to train for posts. The old crew member who escaped the submarine attack was only 17 years old when he became a sailor. When the "John Barry" sank, He has been running at sea for more than two years.

This person is less than 70 years old this year, the firefighter is retired, and his body is very healthy. Even if the economic conditions are average, he would not be able to go to sea with the ship.

If you are a dozen or twenty years older, even if your physical condition permits, you may not have the idea of ​​going to the sea to make a lot of money.

This person is not divided, but no matter whether the shipwreck is found or not, there will be a good reward for this operation. If the shipwreck is found, the reward will be doubled, which is equal to the salary of a firefighter who worked for several years before retirement.

What can be done is the preparations. What is necessary is that a large-scale exploration and salvage vessel with a displacement of 5,500 tons and the world's most advanced exploration and salvage ship travels from the east coast of the United States to the Arabian Sea. Not to mention salvaging, a trip will cost a lot of money.

Try to avoid the loss of running empty due to the failure of the preliminary work. At present, the preliminary work is done very well, at least there is no busy ship to find it.

Zhang Nan does not lack the 2,000 tons of silver, but the salvage company needs it, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to sell it. In the past two years, it is estimated that the price of silver is not strong, but it is not depressed.

......

1994 is coming as scheduled. On New Year's Day, don't be too busy in the manor on Long Island. Zhang Nan occasionally said "The family must be neat and tidy". This time, the people are all there, but the atmosphere is a bit strange.

It's no stranger to have a ghost!

It's not the first time we met. For a meal, a group of women divided into two lines, even their eyes were of several colors, and a group of children were chirping. It was not an ordinary excitement!

Women chat with a lot of topics, a few chat about film and television, and whoever makes them is in this line;

A few talk about children, all of whom are mothers;

There are also economic talks. Who makes the NAFTA formally effective today will have some impact on all aspects of American society, and its own collections will also be affected. Fortunately, the trade agreement is generally beneficial to the United States. As an American company, the subordinate groups of "Sunshine Star" will reap greater benefits.

Of course, jewellery, travel, and fashion are indispensable among the topics, which almost annoys Zhang Nan!

But lively is better than deserted, at least the family looks very harmonious, and decided to go skiing in Austria after the New Year, and then see how their own castle is built.

During this time, Xiang Weirong returned to China, and Xiang Jianan also returned home, waiting for the American school New Year holiday to end before returning to New York.

Guan Xingquan also returned to China a few days ago, but soon returned to New York, bringing his mother, his wife, and mother-in-law to New York, and sent them back to China after the New Year.

On the first day of the new year, the cold current had just passed, and the weather was good. Most of the people in the manor who were not busy ran to the far sea to fish for tuna on the "Sunshine Star", and they were not afraid of the cold.

Zhang Nan didn't move, and looked for Seguchi Jingzi and Madhuri Dixit who were also not interested in going out in winter and didn't go out. These two are going back to Los Angeles in a few days, and Zhang Nan has something to say to them.

"After arriving in Los Angeles, don't run around this month, especially in the second half of the night. No matter what the reason, stay at home honestly. I always feel that something will happen in Los Angeles this month."

Neither Sawaguchi Yasushi nor Madhuri Dixit had a special reaction to the man's words. The Los Angeles riots the year before last seemed to be imminent, and both of them thought it might be because of this problem.

Both women know the energy of their men in American society, and can almost prevent these messy things before they happen.

Gotta listen.

Looking at the reactions of the two, Zhang Nan was very satisfied, that's good.

It's just that both of them are wrong. What Zhang Nan is worried about is not riots and public security issues. The presence of security personnel is not a problem, but a **** earthquake!

There have been many earthquakes on the west coast of the United States. Over the past few years, the "united forces" have appeared every time.

Zhang Nan knew that there would be another earthquake in Los Angeles in January this year, and the losses were very heavy, but he did not know which day it was, only that it was in the second half of the night in January when most people were sleeping when the earthquake occurred.

I forgot the magnitude, the loss is quite large, and I know the approximate time...I can remember this because of a Chinese text, and later generations were turned into an Internet celebrity because of "everyone find the difference". topic.

Zhang Nan hadn't read that text. He hadn't read it when he was studying, but he had read the satirical news on the Internet.

It is said that some people have discovered that since childhood, generations of people have been deceived by some texts in the Chinese textbook time and time again. They also cited a few examples, such as "Edison Saves His Mother"-when Edison was 7 years old, his mother Suffering from acute appendicitis, the doctor found that the lights were too dim during the operation.

Edison used the principle of mirror reflection to help the doctor successfully complete the operation.

Then someone went to research, saying that the world's earliest appendicitis operation was in 1886, when Edison was 40 years old-in other words, this incident could not have happened to the 7-year-old Edison.

There is also a text called "Father and Son in the Earthquake". After the Los Angeles earthquake, a father rushed to the school building where his son was, but the school was in ruins.

Regardless of the persuasion of others, the father buried his head in digging for 38 hours, and finally rescued his son and more than a dozen of his classmates.

The text of this earthquake rescuer has been questioned because it has been revised several times. In the original version, the beginning of the text read: "A major earthquake occurred in Los Angeles, USA in 1989...".

However, there was no large-scale earthquake in Los Angeles in 1989, so in 2004, the beginning of the text was revised to read: "In 1994, Los Angeles, the United States had a major earthquake...", but it was still questioned.

In 2005, the beginning was revised to: "One year...", and in 2009 it became "A sudden earthquake...".

It’s very interesting "Let’s find the difference." A few years before the big earthquake in Xichuan Province happened, Zhang Nan “replicated and searched” easily at that time: It turned out that there was a heavy loss earthquake in Los Angeles in January 1994. Everyone was still asleep, but the house collapsed...

However, Zhang Nan is a few dozen years old, and he will not believe that "everyone is looking for the difference" type things are true. Anyway, I was idle, and spent a few minutes to check on the Internet, and found that this "Father and Father in the Earthquake" The text of "The Son" was originally a fictional short story written by an American.

Foreign fictional novels are written into texts, and whether they are appropriate or not are discussed. The time does not need to be too true. It would be better if the source could be indicated.

As for the film "Edison Saves His Mother", "Let's find the difference" means that the first successful appendicitis operation was performed in the world in 1886. The person who wrote this must not know that there were military doctors in France in the 1830s. The successful appendicitis operation is the earliest record in the western world.

The Western world successfully performed appendix surgery in the 18th century. Who can guarantee that the doctor who performed the operation on Edison’s mother was not taught by the apprentice and grandson of the French military doctor?

As for the East, whether it is just appendicitis in the Arab world, Hua Tuo was able to perform open surgery at that time: cut his abdomen, and ulcers accumulated. If the disease is in the intestines and stomach, cut off the intestines and stomach, remove the filth, wash and suture the wound, apply "sacred ointment" on the wound, the wound can be closed in four or five days, and it can be completely healed in about one month.

In ancient China, not only can the abdomen be opened, but also the bowel suture and vascular ligation can be done! At least in the Sui Dynasty, there was this craft-Dr. Chao Yuanfang of the Sui Dynasty had a record in "The Origins of Diseases": the right was wounded by a knife, a spear, a ge, and a spear. If you "see you at both ends of the intestines, you can quickly continue." Of".

The method is: first use needles to break the intestines continuously, then take chicken blood, smear it on the occasion, not to let the qi vent, that is, push the inside (into);

For mesenteric and other fat protruding wounds: use raw silk to tie off the blood. When it is overnight, it can be cut off, do not close the mouth, and ointment a little...

Who said Edison couldn't save his mother with a mirror? It's just to guide the children's creativity!

As for why Huaxia Surgical technology lags behind, many of the techniques recorded in ancient books are still lost, and we can only blame the constant wars!

"Let’s find the difference" is not entirely believed, and some are not too true. Zuo Si of the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zheng Banqiao of the Qing Dynasty, Lenin of Russia, and Marshal Chen, the founding man of China, have all eaten ink in different texts of China. Call something.

But because of that, Zhang Nan remembered that there was an earthquake in Los Angeles in January 1994, but he didn't plan to be a magic stick, just take care of the family.

As for the "united forces" once again showing great power ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ when it is shocked, the company has rich experience in dealing with these.

A small hidden danger was solved, and I found Andre, who also brought the children to play at the manor today. The children are going to sea this time, and I want to ask him how the situation in the UK is.

Zhang Nan is not mean, but bears grudges!

But before Andre could say this, the call from Captain Jamie Bostwick came.

"Happy new year, boss. We have good news and bad news."

"I said Jamie, this new year, I don't want to play which drama to listen to first, what's the bad news?"

Zhang Nan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

"Sorry boss, the good news is that we can basically salvage the silver coins we got, but there is no way to sink the ship to deal with the reinforced steel plate structure of the first half of the cargo warehouse. It needs underwater blasting.

But the water depth is 2590 meters, we don't have such blasting technology. "
