Except for those on duty, everyone was talking about the changes in the base.
"Sister Ning, the government and military departments are already recruiting people and are selecting a site to build a seawater desalination system."
"Not only that, I heard that the excavator will be transferred to the coal mine, and the cloth is also on sale in the base store. If you need it, you can use your points to buy it."
"We brought back so many seeds last time, the base can definitely expand its planting."
In short, everyone is looking forward to this mission and hopes to bring back supplies that will be useful for base construction.
However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
At the first coordinate, the sea water is more than 4,000 meters deep, and even nuclear submarines cannot go down, let alone mortals.
The mission started off badly and everyone was given a cold shower.
"It doesn't matter, there's more to come."
The team members comforted each other, but they all knew in their hearts that the fire box that they had spent countless efforts to collect would sleep at the bottom of the sea forever and never see the light of day again unless something great happened.
The disaster was too tragic and no one wants it to happen again.
But the depressing thing was yet to come. The second one also fell into the deep sea, at a despairing depth of more than 6,000 meters.
It can’t be possible that the third one has such bad luck, right?
rice!
Everyone should be on high alert, God must be playing a joke on us.
The fourth one was okay, only 600 meters.
But it is still a distance that mortal bodies cannot reach.
The fifth one is about 300 meters away.
It is the last stop of this mission and also the shallowest one.
But even wearing a diving suit, you still can't reach it.
Jiang Ning was quite Buddhist this time, but he couldn't remain calm.
Can't go back empty-handed, right?
Gu Tinglin didn't say it explicitly, but she knew in her heart that none of the military commanders who made it to the top positions were fools.
All he did was to support his daughter and son-in-law.
Development is true, but this is the development of the base, which is very different from personal future.
During the twelve years of natural disasters, even though some of them lost their wives and children, they were only in their early fifties or sixties, and they had trained excellent subordinates.
It is not a problem to adopt a son or find a godfather, let alone those who have children.
It would be fine if Gu Tinglin had children at the beginning, as they would have a process of slowly accepting them. The key is that they were brought in out of nowhere.
It would have been fine if he was just a dull person who just lived a life of idleness and waited for death, but who would have thought that he would become a rising star and become the most famous person at that time.
There are always people who can't sleep at night. If they are provoked a few more times, they will be very upset.
She couldn't return empty-handed and give others the opportunity to talk about Gu Tinglin.
But we really can’t go down to 300 meters below the sea.
Jiang Ning wondered if there was any other way to salvage it?
She couldn't help but think of the lasso game. In the past, she would tie Doudou and the dog with ropes and put them into the space together.
What if you put a cover on the tinderbox?
Jiang Ning shared his idea with Huo Yishen.
There is no better way but to give it a try.
So, the trio dived to the limit with the diving equipment. Jiang Ning took out an iron wire from the space, tied an iron hook to the end, and used an underwater telescope to lower it to the location of the fire box.
The wire is not heavy and is more than 100 meters high. It is not easy to hook the fire box due to the influence of water flow and pressure.
Huo Yishen cooperated with Jiang Ning, and Xu Kaitai gestured beside him: Release, release, keep releasing...
After more than ten minutes of trying to finish the task, my strength was rapidly depleting.
To the right, yes, a little to the right, oops, it’s not hooked…
Left, left, yes, yes, hook hard, oops…
I repeated this over and over again, I don't know how many times I tried, and just when I was tired enough to lose faith, it seemed that I finally hooked it.
Jiang Ning tried hard to hold the space.
It was collected, but the underwater pressure was too great, and the fire box fell down with a bang just as it was collected into the space.
Her medicinal field! Jiang Ning wailed in his heart.
They really couldn't swim anymore, so the three of them hurriedly pulled the rope.
The team members waited anxiously, and after receiving the signal, they hurriedly pulled up, "How are you?"
The three were too tired to speak.
Several people helped unload the diving equipment. "Do you need an oxygen tank?"
After resting for half an hour, my body finally recovered.
Seeing her face recover, Zhang Li dared to ask, "Sister Ning, have you collected the fire box?"
Jiang Ning nodded.
Everyone cheered and said excitedly: "Sister Ning, Captain Huo and Captain Xu, you are really awesome."
Happy came over, they didn't dare to disturb him anymore, "Hot water and towels are ready, you take a shower and rest, leave the rest to us."
Huo Yi slept soundly for several hours, and then he moved very carefully so as not to wake Jiang Ning up, and called the team members to a meeting.
We only got one fire box in this mission. Should we go back to base first or continue to the next mission?
In fact, the team members had no objection. After all, the salvager was Jiang Ning and they were just foils. They felt embarrassed to hold the reward in their hands.
"Sister Ning, can you handle it?"
Zhang Li was concerned and frowned as she analyzed, "Before the disaster, the average depth of the ocean was over 3,000 meters. We don't know now, but it should be not much different. The salvage rate is actually not high."
This is also what the other team members are thinking. What is the probability that the ocean depth for the next mission will be less than 300 meters?
Xu Kaitai has a strong belief. "We discussed the average depth of the ocean before forming the team. We need fire boxes for base development. As long as there is a one in ten thousand chance, we must try."
Huo Yishen frowned slightly, "Continue the mission, but you can't just rely on the fire box, you can't miss out on other resources."
When Jiang Ning woke up, the meeting was over.
The next day, Jiang Ning released 2688, and the two submarines worked together to explore other resources.
Two days later, the nuclear submarine sent out sonar contact 2688, and a huge industrial obstacle was found on the seabed, and the depth was suitable for salvage.
2688 swam over to investigate and found that it seemed to be the ruins of a city.
The entire city collapsed and sank into the ocean.
The water is more than 100 meters deep. This time, Huang Mao and his team took the lead and dived into the ocean to conduct artificial exploration.
It took them half an hour to surface.
Jiang Ning’s guess was correct, it was underwater ruins.
There are many large tanks inside, most likely oil storage tanks.
Judging from the coordinates, this place used to be the oil-producing country of Camel, a country where oil was cheaper than water.
Huang Mao and the others must have seen it right.
The ruins were huge, and what they saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
It's rare that the sea area is shallow. Now that it has been detected, maybe there is oil in it?
Even if there is none, the tank can be towed back and melted down as scrap copper and iron for secondary use.
Jiang Ning thought the same thing. "Okay, let's try to get it out."
The ruins are dangerous, and people have to look out for each other.
Jiang Ning took possession of both submarines and everyone went into the sea.
The current in this sea area is not fast and the water is very clear. The sunlight shines through the sea water, making the waves sparkle.
Giant tanks covered with silt, luxury cars surrounded by fish and shrimp, broken bricks and walls, and skeletons...
