Everyone was amazed by the profits, which far exceeded their expectations.
Chen Feng frowned. He felt something was off. In his mind, there shouldn't be so little.
However, he didn't reveal much. After all, it's still in the early stages, so it's normal to have fewer cases. He'll wait and see after a while.
"Brother Feng, let me have a sip of water first, then I'll go back down and keep sucking," Li Chunlai said excitedly.
"No need, Huang Fei, try on the clothes. We'll all be working shifts from now on, and it won't work if only one person is always there," Chen Feng said to Huang Fei.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Huang Fei took off his clothes, prepared to put on his diving suit, and went down to test the water.
Just as he was about to put it on, Huang Fei couldn't help but pull it up to take a look inside, and asked with concern.
"Chunlai, are you sure you held it in just now?"
"Damn it... I'm holding it in, I'm holding it in, what do you say!" Li Chunlai almost choked with anger upon hearing this. How come you have so many ideas every day?
"Okay, just hold it in. I'm just worried." Huang Fei grinned and started crawling into his wetsuit.
Just as he crawled inside, and Li Chunlai was about to help him put on his helmet, Huang Fei suddenly reached out: "The bridge's sack!"
"What the hell?" Li Chunlai frowned and asked, not having heard clearly at first.
"Wait a minute, I need to use the restroom first, so I don't miss it down there." Huang Fei quickly took off his wetsuit, grabbed some toilet paper, and ran off.
This scene left everyone speechless, and Chen Feng even chuckled, realizing that people can actually laugh when they're speechless.
"This kid is really lazy."
Lin Nian laughed and said, "He's so anxious that he's even using his mother tongue. He's afraid we'll throw him into the water."
After Huang Fei finished putting on his diving suit, he returned and put on his diving suit again. This time, he put on his helmet and slowly walked into the water.
Once he was fully submerged in the river, he tried to dive down with all his might, but he couldn't get down. Instead, the more he struggled, the higher he went.
"Damn, now I know why Li Chunlai imitated the seals. It's because he couldn't get down there!" Huang Fei suddenly realized. Recalling Li Chunlai's actions, he slowly slowed down and began to descend little by little.
Seeing that it really worked, Huang Fei laughed heartily.
"Damn, I'm a genius!"
He carried the vacuum tube and slowly descended to the bottom of the water. He began to point and suck, and all the silt and rocks were instantly sucked in. This thing was indeed very powerful.
When the people on the shore saw the money-absorbing ship start spewing mud and sand out, they knew that Huang Fei had reached the bottom.
"Not bad, that's pretty fast. I thought he'd have to struggle for a while," Li Chunlai said with a smile, smoking a cigarette and watching the mud and sand being sprayed out.
"Is it difficult to dive?" Lin Nian couldn't help but ask, wanting to learn some experience and then prepare accordingly.
"Well, it's not actually that difficult, but don't just splash around aimlessly. It'll only tire you out and you won't get any deeper. Just slowly dive down. And if you can swim, you'll pick it up very quickly," Li Chunlai replied after a moment's thought.
"I can swim, and I'm actually quite good at it, so it shouldn't be a problem." Lin Nian felt relieved after hearing this.
"Brother Feng, can you swim?" Li Chunlai asked.
"Well, I can struggle against anyone who's not taller than me," Chen Feng said, stroking his chin.
"So you just don't know how," Li Chunlai bluntly stated, showing no tact whatsoever.
"Brother Feng can only doggy paddle, but he can still manage a couple of splashes when he gets anxious," Lin Nian laughed from the side.
"That's right, who wouldn't thrash around a bit if they were in a hurry?" Chen Feng said, taking a sip of water.
Chen Feng can't be said to be completely unable to swim, but he's a very poor swimmer and doesn't like swimming.
He checked the time; it was almost midnight. He turned to Chen Jianguo and said, "Dad, let's cook dinner later. We'll eat when Huang Fei comes up."
“Okay, I’ll go chop some firewood.” Chen Jianguo nodded, sat up from the ground, and prepared to pick up his axe to chop firewood.
"If it doesn't work tomorrow, we can just buy some charcoal. Chopping firewood every day is quite tiring," Chen Feng said after considering it.
“Okay, we’re making a lot of money now anyway, so it’s not a big deal. Buying carbon is easier.” Chen Jianguo thought so too.
He's not as careful as he used to be. Now that he's made money, he spends it as he pleases, because time is money these days.
Huang Fei was down there, holding the vacuum tube and sucking wildly, like he was cleaning, not missing a single drop.
Soon, he encountered the same situation as Li Chunlai: a large rock was underneath, pressing down on a large area of silt.
Having learned from past mistakes, Huang Fei knew what to do. He put down the vacuum tube, stood on the bottom of the water, and began to move the stone with great effort.
However, this rock was larger than the one Li Chunlai had encountered. Huang Fei struggled to move it slightly, but he couldn't flip it over completely.
"Wow, it's so heavy!" Huang Fei took a breath, braced his feet against the riverbed, and forcefully pried up the stone, moving it to a different position.
In this way, Huang Fei managed to move the stone away from its original position by moving it back and forth.
Exhausted, Huang Fei was covered in sweat when he went back to the vacuum tube and sucked up the mud and sand at the bottom.
At first, when he encountered some large pebbles, he would avoid them or pick them up and move them aside before sucking them up.
Later, Huang Fei got too lazy to bother with it anymore and simply sucked it all in.
Since the money-absorbing ship can spray out anyway, why bother? This way, the absorption efficiency is much faster.
"Brother Feng, the money-absorbing ship has stopped sucking water again. Did Huang Fei encounter the same situation as Chunlai?" Lin Nian asked, looking at the money-absorbing ship that was spraying water.
“There should be a lot of rocks underneath,” Chen Feng asked Li Chunlai.
"Well, actually it's alright. Big ones like this are rare. Small ones don't cause any trouble; you can just toss them aside," Li Chunlai said, cracking sunflower seeds.
"Yes, not too many stones are fine." Chen Feng nodded.
The biggest factor affecting their efficiency is the large rock. It's a shame not to move it, but moving it is also a real hassle.
Moreover, because gold sinks, the silt at the bottom usually has a higher gold content than the silt on the outside.
Skipping over it without moving it is no different from skipping over the gold itself.
It was soon past 3 p.m. Chen Jianguo had already cooked the rice and chopped the vegetables, and was just waiting for Huang Fei to come up and stir-fry them so they could eat.
As a result, they waited on the shore but the boat didn't come up, and the money-sucking boat was still spewing mud out, which surprised everyone quite a bit.
"Wow, Dafei is amazing this time. He lasted for more than three hours, even longer than Chunlai!" Lin Nian said, looking at his phone.
"Yeah, Dafei really did something this time. I thought he'd be back in two hours," Chen Feng said, also surprised.
It's understandable that it was a short time since it was the first time, but I didn't expect Huang Fei to be so persistent. I thought he would be back in two hours.
