71% of the Earth's surface is surrounded by oceans, and within these vast oceans, at least three million sunken ships lie quietly at the bottom, waiting to be discovered!

Chapter 286 Those Strange Names
Xiao Peng on the screen was smiling obscenely.
"What's the meaning?"
"Why do I feel like the host is full of bad intentions?"
"Yeah, I also feel that the host is doing something bad!"
"Don't say that about my husband!"
"Leaving a name in history? It's not that easy!"
"I know the person who just spoke!"
"What are the people upstairs bragging about?"
"Why am I bragging? I'm a student at Ocean University! The guy who just spoke is Hu Guohui! He's a marine biologist at the Institute of Oceanography and a visiting professor at Ocean University! He even taught us last year! I still have his email."
"Holy crap, seriously? The great guy above, please contact this professor immediately to find out the identity of this streamer!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"You think too much. Can they tell you?"
"I think so. It seems that Hu Guohui has a deep prejudice against anchors!"
Xiao Peng looked at the comments and said, "You really misunderstood. Professor Hu doesn't have any prejudice against me. He's grateful to me for allowing him to leave his name in history."
"Fuck! The host also said it was 'Professor Hu'. One of the people on their ship has been identified!"
"Hurry up and find the anchor!"
Xiao Peng also knew that he had said the wrong thing. He coughed twice and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you what happened. You may not know this, but we humans know very little about the deep sea. Every time we go to the bottom of the sea, we discover creatures we've never seen before... Since I'm the first one to discover them, does that mean I have the right to name them? The answer is definitely yes! So many of the deep-sea creatures I discovered were named after the people on the ship. They are all grateful to me!"
Hu Guohui spat bitterly after hearing this. "'Hu Guohui is the Big Bad Sponge'? 'Xu Xingde is the Cheating Lionfish'? 'Duan Bo is the Constipated Shrimp'... What the hell are these names? Okay, I'll tolerate those. Now tell me, 'Xiao Peng is the most handsome mimic octopus in the world', 'Xiao Peng is the awesome mussel', 'Xiao Peng is the tube worm that everyone loves'... What the hell are these?"
"Who is Xiao Peng?"
"How shameless!"
"Fuck, I think I know the host's name!"
"Professor Hu, you've done a great job!"
"Human flesh!"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with gloom. "Well, the show's off! If you don't want a chance to make your mark in history, forget it!"
"Who said no?"
“Draw prize!”
Just as Xiao Peng was about to speak, Moro came over and said, "Boss, the captain has mentioned the work coordinates!"
"Hmm?" Xiao Peng stood up and asked, "How are Xiao Zhou and Duan Bo preparing?"
"The ROV can be dispatched to the sea at any time."
Xiao Peng picked up the intercom and asked, "Old Chen, is the assisted dynamic positioning ready?"
The "Old Chen" he was referring to was the captain of the former Mediterranean Support II, now the Calypsope. His full name was Chen Cheng. This time, Xiao Peng not only took over the Mediterranean Support II, but also the entire crew. Now, Xiao Peng lacked everything except people.
Xiao Peng is under great pressure to support so many people. How can he not make more money?
"It will take at least ten minutes." Chen Cheng's voice came from the intercom.
Xiao Peng stood up and clapped his hands. "Everyone, get to your posts! After positioning is complete, the ROV will go directly to the sea! Xiao Zhou will operate the ROV, Duan Bo will operate the mechanical gripper to assist Xiao Zhou, and Hua Chong will operate the cable car to lower the basket! Xiao Dio will take over! Cabaye and I will go to the offline room! The rest of you will return to your posts. Yang Zhibin and Varane will be responsible for coordinating the deck work! Walter, take the live broadcast camera to the offline room and let everyone see how we get the gold! Moreau, go to the control room and work with Chen Cheng!"
The barrage instantly filled the screen.
"Damn, they're even fishing for gold! How can a sunken ship be so easy to find?"
"It takes people ages to find a sunken ship!"
"You two upstairs, don't you understand? My husband has already found the exact location of this sunken ship, and this time he's here to salvage it!"
"How much gold do you think we can get?"
"They're all gold coins! How can we get them?"
"No wonder my husband is rich. Look at him. He's so serious when he's chatting with others!"
"Seriously, men are the most handsome!"
"You two are idiots, acting like you know what the anchor looks like. What if there's a pockmarked face underneath the mask?"
"Looking at my husband's mouth and face shape, I know he must be very handsome."
"Your husbands are broke!"
"Their lack of money is not the same as ours! Even if they are poor now, they still drive luxury cars and live in luxury houses!"
Xiao Peng said over the intercom, "Xiao Zhou! Is the ROV's absorption system okay? Don't let it down!"
"Don't worry, boss!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng took Walter to the offline room, where he saw Xu Xingde.
"Old Xu, what are you doing?"
Xu Xingde coughed twice and said, "Boss, aren't we going to use the 'Deep Sea Warrior' for this salvage operation?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "No need, these are the exact coordinates, just go down and fish it out!"
Xu Xingde looked disappointed, but then he said, "Boss, I've been to the sea less than Lao Hu. We still don't understand the seabed geology and marine ecological environment of the Alboran Sea. Take a look..."
Xiao Peng angrily said, "I really didn't make a mistake in naming it 'Xu Xingde's Cheating Lionfish'! I'm broke now! I need to make some money first! You guys are really in trouble. You should at least consider me, your boss. If I can't support you, why are you still exploring the seabed? How about this, you all pay for every trip to the sea? You can go as many times as you want, paying for it yourself."
Xu Xingde coughed twice and stopped talking.
The cost of the next 'Deep Sea Warrior' HOV sea voyage will start at at least 100,000 Euros. How can they afford it?
But having such a good opportunity but not being able to go into business, must Xu Xingde feel bad?
At this moment, Chen Cheng's voice came from the intercom: "Boss, we've located it! We're ready to go! Just send the ROV down to the sea and make adjustments based on the location of the shipwreck!"
"Then what are you wasting time on?" Xiao Peng said into the intercom, "Attention everyone! Fish as hard as you can this afternoon! I'm so broke now, so be careful when you go fishing. Don't miss a single gold coin!"
Xiao Zhou's voice came from the intercom, saying, "Boss, if I can see gold, I won't miss it! The question is, is there really gold here?"
"If the boss says there is one, then it must be there!" Hua Chong's voice came from the intercom: "Xiao Zhou, the boss has never failed to find a sunken ship!"
Xiao Peng laughed. "That's a nice bit of flattery, but that's no reason for you to waste time! Launch the ROV immediately! Also, get the basket and the grappling claws in the water! If I say there's gold here, there must be! Everyone, get moving!"
