Chapter 1039: There are no jewels in the shipwreck?
The people in the live broadcast room were desperately refreshing the screen, asking Xiao Peng to show off his boat, but Xiao Peng rejected the suggestion and returned to the 'offline room'. After all, he still had to command the salvage operation here.
When the 'Insignificant' began to turn around and evacuate, Xiao Peng asked Kasin to fly the helicopter back to continue the salvage work - these jumping clowns are wasting my precious time!
The two ROVs were launched again. Since they had wasted so much time, Xiao Peng didn't hesitate this time: "Calypso, just hook it! Destroy the deck!"
After hearing Xiao Peng's order, the netizens started discussing again: "Such a beautiful shipwreck is destroyed like this?"
"That's too much."
"This is a cultural relic and should be salvaged carefully!"
"It's not our country's cultural relic, why do you care about it?"
"Why weren't you so excited when they looted our national cultural relics?"
"That's right. Besides, how can a broken ship be considered a cultural relic? Only the things inside the ship are cultural relics!"
"Are you jealous that Xiao Peng will make a fortune again?"
Xiao Peng looked at the comments helplessly. They really could argue over anything. But he ignored them and observed everything from the Luna's ROV.
After all, there is no marine engineering equipment on the Luna.
"Xiao Zhou, please move the ROV back a little bit. The visibility is poor!" he commanded using the walkie-talkie.
The salvage work was once again proceeding in an orderly manner. It was an extremely boring process, and the mud and sand stirred up by the work made the work very poor. Xiao Peng simply watched them quarrel in the live broadcast room.
As a result, a question in the live broadcast room caught Xiao Peng's attention.
"Anchor, what would you have done if the pirates hadn't self-destructed just now?"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "No self-destruction? Then attack them! In fact, they can't even get close to my ship. My ship is not without self-defense weapons."
"What to use? Boiling water?" someone asked in the barrage.
Xiao Peng laughed. Anyone who could say that was a regular on his livestream. Xiao Peng's go-to solution when he ran into trouble was a water cannon. He'd used it in the Black Sea, in the English Channel... and his worst offense was often hooking up the diesel engine's cooling water to the cannon and spraying it directly. That was a brutal move!
This method is fine for ordinary ships, but it's clearly not enough for these militants! You're still using the water cannon to spray? A volley of bullets is coming down from below! This is unreliable!
Xiao Peng explained, "You may not know this yet, but I'm also an EU IUU fishing observer. Let me explain, I'm here to catch illegal fishermen. Since I have an official position, how could I not have weapons? The weapons I'm talking about are 'heavy weapons'. I'm confident I can sink even that 'Insignificant' ship! I won't explain this to you any further, lest anyone make a fuss about it. The box that Chen Cheng handed Hua when he rushed onto the plane just now was a German G22 sniper rifle. It was folded and placed in the box. The helicopter just went over there to give them a warning shot. Those people are only after money and generally won't risk their lives. Of course, that self-destructive behavior just now doesn't fall into that category."
Everyone in the livestream room was stunned after hearing Xiao Peng's words. That "Insignificant" was a bulk carrier! How could you sink it? Are you carrying missiles and torpedoes? The German G22 sniper rifle is a genuine military weapon, unavailable on the market. Where did you get it?
Xiao Peng's ability is truly astonishing.
Someone else asked in the barrage: "Host, we also want to experience your salvage job, is that okay?"
"Yeah! You always hold a lottery, so how about you just draw one this time and let us go to your boat and experience life there?"
"That's good to note! We want to experience life!"
"Mr. Xiao, let us experience your life too!"
"That's right, this way you don't have to pay out of pocket, and we can even help you with the work!"
"I'll work for you for free as long as I can eat that giant lobster every day!"
"I don't need one every day! I can just eat one every three days!"
Xiao Peng looked at the comments and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You guys think the sea life is too simple, don't you? You want to experience the life of a crew member? Then let me ask you, do you have a crew certificate? How can you join my ship if you don't? If you get caught, I will be fined severely, and I might even be banned from entering the port!"
"Come on! According to you, everyone on your ship has a crew certificate?"
"You don't have any yourself?"
"You have no more passengers on board?"
Xiao Peng explained, "Every time we enter a port in a different country, we have to go through strict procedures. The crew registration for each ship is very strict. It's like 'one person, one job.' What if there's a crew change on board? It's relatively simple for ordinary crew members, but for executive crew members, the procedures are not only complicated but also very expensive. So, for shipowners, finding good executive crew members can be harder than finding a good wife."
"Passengers and crew on board have to go through two different procedures to get to the port, and visas and all that stuff are really cumbersome. Do you think you can just dock at any port on the sea? Look at those cruise ships; they always stop at fixed ports. It's not because they're rigid, but because they have pre-arranged agreements with the ports they call at to reduce the hassle of paperwork! Let me tell you, I only have my fame. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to enter ports in many countries! So, you want to board my ship? If you don't have a crew certificate, forget it."
The comments started to fill in the comments: "Then we can go as passengers on the Luna!"
"Yeah, this is good!"
"You can win a prize to go on the Luna and enjoy life!"
Xiao Peng showed a look of disgust. "What are you dreaming about? Is this even possible? This is my home! Would you invite strangers to your super luxurious house? What billionaire would invite a complete stranger to his home?"
"I can!"
"I sure will!"
“Ditto!”
"I can invite you to my house!"
Xiao Peng spread his hands. "So you're not billionaires. Oh, I see. So your focus from the beginning wasn't on the 'Calypso'. What's with working for me for free? Your goal is to get on my 'Luna', right?"
He was about to say a few more words when Duan Bo's voice came from the intercom: "Boss, boss! Stop talking and look at the screen. Something doesn't seem right!"
At this time, the seabed on the screen had become calm, and a large hole had been opened in the shipwreck, with the cargo scattered inside the cabin displayed in front of everyone.
"Is this... a Buddha statue?"
