After finishing all this, what they need to do now is to get those things from the bottom of the lake out.
It was obviously impossible to rely on this yacht, so Yang Jing said to Bruce directly: "Bruce, you should go to Resia in the north now and rent a larger ship. Well, if there is a small lifting equipment, it would be best, but if not, it doesn't matter. Oh, by the way, buy some sturdy boxes, these things can't be seen in the light."
Bruce nodded, and then the yacht slowly approached the shore. Bruce got off the boat and drove a car alone along the lakeside road towards Resia in the north.
The yacht returned to the middle of the lake again. Yang Jing and the other six bodyguards put on their diving suits again, replaced the new air compressor bottles, and then went into the water. First, they had to transport the gold and silver from the underground storage warehouse to the bottom of the lake before they could do anything else.
The silver bricks in the underground warehouse are 25 cm long, 10 cm wide and 5 cm thick. Such a silver brick is about the same size as an ordinary red brick, and one weighs more than 13 kilograms.
As for those gold bricks, each one weighed about ten kilograms.
There are a total of 600 silver bricks, which is about 7.8 tons. As for the gold bricks, there are a total of 300 pieces, which is about three tons.
It was not easy to get these nine hundred gold and silver bricks from the underground warehouse to the bottom of the lake. Even though these heavy objects were slightly lighter at the bottom of the water due to buoyancy, Yang Jing and his team were working underwater, which was much more difficult than working on land.
It took Yang Jing and his seven companions more than three hours just to move the nine hundred gold and silver bricks to the bottom of the lake. They even had to change the compressed air bottle once, but they were exhausted.
In fact, when doing this work, Yang Jing suddenly thought of a European movie he had watched before. The name of the movie seemed to be "The Golden City".
The movie tells the story of a five-member Navy SEAL team that went to Sarajevo in the mid-1990s to conduct a joint British-American operation to kidnap a local warlord. After the mission was successfully completed, one of the team members learned from his girlfriend Laura by chance that 27 tons of gold left by the Nazis were deposited at the bottom of a large lake in the area. Laura hoped to get the gold, use half to help her country, and the other half as a reward for the team...
After investigation, the Navy SEALs confirmed that the news was true, so the team began to prepare to salvage the 27 tons of gold.
The salvaging process in the movie is of course very impressive, with all kinds of advanced equipment used, including the very cool method of transporting the 27 tons of gold out of the water - using the buoyancy of inflatable air bags to lift the 27 tons of gold from the bottom of the lake to the surface...
The movie was well made, and Yang Jing enjoyed it very much. But now it was his turn to do this kind of work at the bottom of the lake, but he didn't have that kind of magical salvage equipment, which made Yang Jing feel a little headache.
At least this time, the salvage operation was not well prepared in advance, which resulted in a group of people having to rely on their physical bodies to carry out the salvage. This is definitely not an embarrassing thing that a qualified treasure hunter would do.
And this is just to transport the gold and silver from the basement to the bottom of the lake. When it gets dark, they have to get the gold and silver onto the boat. And there is no lifting equipment on the boat, so they can only rely on manpower to pull it up...
When Yang Jing and his team were working underwater, the yacht did not stop there stupidly, but kept moving around. This was not the peak tourist season, and it was getting dark, so there were not many yachts on the lake. Yang Jing and his team were still working more than ten meters below the water, so no one noticed anything unusual here.
Bruce rented a modified yacht of about 15 or 16 meters long from Resia. This yacht was similar to the one he rented from old Waltz. Both were converted from sightseeing boats, but this one was larger and had a greater carrying capacity.
After everyone went ashore and had a sumptuous dinner, they went into the water again.
By this time, the sky had completely darkened. Except for the lights from two villages, scattered RV camps, and a few hotels, the entire area around Lake Resia was pitch black. There was very little light pollution, and you could hardly see anything a hundred meters away.
When Bruce rented a boat in the afternoon, he also bought more than 60 high-strength engineering plastic transfer boxes in Resia. These boxes are not very big, but each box can hold about 20 gold or silver bricks. The most important thing is that these transfer boxes made of high-strength engineering plastics can withstand a weight of 300 kilograms, so there is absolutely no problem using such boxes to hold gold and silver bricks.
When Yang Jing and his men moved the silver and gold bricks to the bottom of the lake at dark, they had already put the silver bricks and gold bricks into transfer boxes that had sunk to the bottom of the lake. Each box contained twenty gold bricks or silver bricks, and each box weighed more than two hundred kilograms.
At night, one person goes into the water and ties the transfer box with a rope. Three or four people pull it together from above. In less than two minutes, a box can be moved onto the boat.
Of course, Yang Jing didn't need to do these tasks himself, Bruce and the others were more active than anyone else.
Yang Jing has already contacted the helicopter pilot, and the answer he got made Yang Jing a little stunned.
He also didn't expect that Alex had found a civilian version of the CH-53 heavy transport helicopter. This heavy transport helicopter had a rather cool code name - Sea Stallion, and was a military and civilian dual-use super helicopter with a maximum load capacity of more than 16 tons.
