Chapter 364: Vulture's Plan
"What is this?" Xiao Peng looked at the ocean exploration ships through his telescope, confused. "Isn't this just like a toad lying on the back of your foot—it doesn't bite, but it's disgusting?"
Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Yes! This definitely counts!"
But after he finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Those ships and the 'Calypso' have been maintaining a safe position. Perhaps for fear of being scolded, they did not respond to the calls of the 'Calypso'. They were docked there and sent their own ROVs into the sea to search for the sunken ship.
Now Xiao Peng is so angry that he can't vent it!
The water pumps on the boat were ready with boiling water, waiting for them to come and cause trouble so that they could pour boiling water on them. Even if they verbally provoked Xiao Peng, he would not let them go. But now they were like toads and Xiao Peng really had no idea what to do: if a conflict occurred in this situation, all the fault would be on Xiao Peng's side, and it would be difficult to deal with it in court.
But the only good news is that the berths chosen by these people are all in the waters a few nautical miles on the other side of the "Calysop" and the whirlpool, and the "shipwreck cemetery" cannot be found by searching there.
Watching them launch exploration equipment into the seabed for a search, Xiao Peng frowned. "Aren't these foreigners very courageous? Why don't they come here to cause trouble? If they dare to spit at me, I'd sink their boat!"
After hearing what Xiao Peng said, Chen Cheng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
We Chinese people have always valued being kind to others. He really wanted to meet Xiao Peng's grandfather. How could he dare to sink someone's boat just by spitting? He wanted to ask how Xiao Peng's grandfather raised such a "wolf cub"?
In fact, if you ask Xiao Peng's grandfather about this, he would not be able to answer him. He can only use "Oranges in the south of the river are oranges, and citrons in the north of the river" as the answer.
Xiao Peng was furious. He wanted to know why these foreigners were so cowardly! Why don't you come out and find some trouble? He stared at the largest ship, the Ifrit, watching the crew busying around, puzzled. This didn't seem like the foreigner's way of doing things.
Just as Xiao Peng was frantically trying to figure things out, a man in the captain's cabin of the Ifrit spoke up, cigar in hand, intercom in hand, "Calm down, everyone! He's a lunatic! You don't want to end up like Alan Bernard, do you? Old Alan, that idiot, ran to the docks to block the waterway. If you wanted to block it, you could have done it. But then they rushed out and immediately lost their composure, colliding with the Cape of Good Hope's Storm Ocean Expeditions' Hope. Both ships were completely destroyed. That's good, it gives us more chances, but you don't want to suffer the same fate, do you?"
"Marco, what you said is indeed true, but haven't you considered one problem? He may have already discovered Doroshenko's treasure! How dare he confront us at this time?"
Marco, who was smoking a cigar, laughed after hearing this. "Martin, you're right. Go ahead and provoke him now. I won't bother with a madman."
A loud laugh echoed through the communication channel: "Yes, Martin, you're right. Go set an example for us. We're all here to support you!"
"Shut up! You cowards!"
"Martin, you're right. We are all cowards, and you are the brave one. Then go ahead."
There was a moment of silence on the communication channel. "You bastards, you want me to be your pathfinder? I'm getting scared too! Marco's right, I won't bother with a lunatic! Let's each do our own thing, I won't waste my time with you!"
"Hey, let's see which of us has better luck."
"What if the Calythorpe has already located the shipwreck? After all, they've already sent the HOV down there fifteen times. They wouldn't have done this if they hadn't found it. The cost to them during this time must have been tens of millions! Would they have done this if the reward wasn't high enough?"
Marco picked up the intercom: "Then we'll use Plan B!"
After hearing Marco's words, everyone on the intercom fell silent. After a while, Martin said, "Let's first determine what's on the seabed, so we don't end up losing money!"
"Martin rarely speaks human language!"
"I agree with Martin on this occasion."
Marco picked up the intercom. "Then why are we still standing there? Everyone, get moving and find the answer as soon as possible!"
After hanging up the call, Marco crushed the cigar in his hand and stood up. Looking at the 'Calysop' parked in the distance, he gave an order: "Now that the 'Calysop' is not working, it's a good time. Send the ROV directly to explore below the 'Calysop'."
"Captain, our ROV cable isn't long enough to reach that far," one of his men said. "Should we get a little closer?"
"No!" Marco shook his head. "He's a lunatic. Who knows what he'll do if we piss him off. Let's use our AUV to take a look. My berth happens to be within the operating radius of our AUV."
AUV is the abbreviation of deep-sea automatic exploration robot, but it can only be used for exploration and not for salvage, so it can be regarded as a "scout".
"Okay, Captain." His men were about to leave when they suddenly stopped and said, "Captain, if there's enough wealth down there, do we really need to use Plan B?"
Marco grinned and said, "Of course! Why not? Believe me, we'll be the biggest winners when we implement Plan B!"
"Of course! I'm going to set the AUV course!" His men said and left the cockpit.
What was their "Plan B"? If they discovered sufficient treasure on the seabed, they would ram the Calythorpe to force it to withdraw from the salvage operation. Then, they would seize the opportunity to salvage the treasure. Despite the Calythorpe's considerable tonnage, a 30-degree flank and rear impact using a "ramming tactic" would still easily pose a threat to the Calythorpe.
Develop slowly and then be bold in the later stage!
First, let that Chinese guy get cocky and let his guard down for a while, then give him a fatal blow! This is my style of doing things!
"Everyone, hurry up! Even if the other ships are our allies, we have to stay ahead of them!" Marco commanded.
But on the 'Calysop', Xiao Peng ignored these vultures. He was directing people to work.
"Who did this? What did you do with this helicopter pad?" There was a helipad behind the cockpit of the 'Calysop' that could accommodate helicopters.
However, when the ship arrived, there was no ship-borne helicopter, so the helipad had been empty the entire time. Now when Xiao Peng needed to use the helipad, he found that it had become a "vacation resort" for the crew. Sun chairs, barbecue grills, parasols and the like filled the helipad.
Xiao Peng shouted, "Come and clean it up quickly! A helicopter will be here soon!"
