Chapter 914: An ignorant person is more likely to be confident than a learned person
Xiao Peng was a little surprised at the number of people in the live broadcast room: "Huh, there are quite a lot of people? Oh, it should be afternoon in China now."
It is now Irish Summer Time, which is seven hours behind China Time. Xiao Peng is now a little after eight o'clock local time, which should be a little after three o'clock in the afternoon in China.
"Why am I live streaming today? You should have seen the promotion! That's right, I found another sunken ship, and today I'm live streaming the salvaging of it! This is my profession!"
The barrage of comments exploded instantly: "Do you still remember that your main job is to salvage sunken ships?"
"How long has it been since we've broadcast a live broadcast of a shipwreck salvage operation?"
"God has eyes, you finally remembered what you do!"
"I've been waiting for so long!"
"How on earth did you find these shipwrecks?"
"Am I the only one who cares about what gifts we have today?"
Xiao Peng grinned at the comments and said, "Yeah. I see everyone is concerned about how I found the shipwreck. It's simple: I looked up information in the library. Let me explain. I'm currently in the southwest of Ireland, only forty nautical miles from the island of Ireland. Some time ago, while looking up information in the Trinity College Library in Dublin, I stumbled upon a large area of shipwrecks."
"Why are there so many shipwrecks here? You may not know Cork, but about a hundred years ago, passenger ships from both Europe and the United States basically passed through here. This was the case even until World War II. Because it is far from Germany, many supplies shipped to Britain entered Ireland from here and were then shipped to Great Britain. It was not until the development of shipping technology and the opening of new shipping routes that this place gradually became deserted. But a hundred years ago, this was truly an important port, and at that time, shipping technology was not up to par, which led to the many shipwrecks. Those ocean exploration companies with no destination can set their sights here, and they are sure to find shipwrecks."
After hearing Xiao Peng's words, the comments on the barrage exploded again: "Come on, can you be so kind? If there are really so many sunken ships out there, why don't you salvage them yourself?"
"Burning newspapers at graves—that's just fooling the devil!"
"Well said."
“Where in the world are there so many shipwrecks?”
"Are you trying to trick people into going there so you can go somewhere else and reduce your competition?"
"Only a fool would believe your nonsense!"
"No fool would believe it!"
Xiao Peng looked at the comments and shook his head. "This is why I'm a billionaire and you're not. Don't challenge others' expertise with your amateurism! Those ocean exploration companies aren't fools. They'll judge whether what I said is right or wrong, and they'll decide for themselves whether to come. I didn't say that just now for you, but you jumped to conclusions! There are always people like this in this world who specialize in pouring cold water on the most vigorous flames to show off their so-called 'insight'. Keyboard warriors, that's not insight, it only exposes your ignorance!"
"I've discovered a problem: the more highly educated people are, the more humble they are. The more well-read they are, the more they feel like a drop in the ocean. To use a Darwinian phrase, 'The ignorant are more likely to be confident than the learned.' Tsk tsk, the old man was right! You keyboard warriors in my room, you can never make money beyond your own knowledge. If you want to broaden your horizons, watch my livestream, then watch. If you don't want to, just get lost and continue with your promising career as a keyboard warrior!"
"Good job!"
"I just like watching billionaire anchors bashing people, and I don't care about the number of subscribers at all."
"This isn't a question of money! This shows the streamer has a positive outlook. Don't you find those trolls annoying?"
"Those keyboard warriors are actually a bunch of pitiful people."
Xiao Peng waved his hand. "There's no point in wasting time chatting with them. Let's get down to business. I've had people survey the seabed with sonar these past few days, and we've pretty much pinpointed the location of the shipwreck. Today's livestream is for you to follow me through the entire process from discovering a shipwreck to salvaging it! Feel the magic of 'unboxing.'"
"However, this salvage operation is a little different from the previous live broadcast. What's the difference? You should know that I now have two ships, two ROVs and one HOV. Let me introduce you. This is Khedira, one of my assistants. Come, Khedira, say hello to everyone in your Chinese!"
Khedira greeted the camera.
Xiao Peng said, "Don't be fooled by Khedira's appearance, as he resembles an undeveloped ape. He's actually my technical support. He helped me out a bit. Today's salvage operation will involve two ROVs being launched simultaneously. Your screens will show the ROV's first-person perspective, meaning you'll see the exact same footage as mine. This will allow you to more intuitively understand my work. This kind of experience doesn't always come around!"
“This feels great!”
"Damn it! I have a fear of the deep sea!"
"The one upstairs, isn't this just the right treatment for you?"
"Am I the only one who thinks Khedira is handsome?"
"No, there's definitely more than just you!"
Xiao Peng looked at the comments with disdain: "You think Khedira is handsome? What kind of aesthetic sense is this! I'm too lazy to waste time talking to you. Come on, let's try it first. I'll switch the camera, and you can see... this button. Okay, this is the ROV operation room of the 'Luna'. Do you see the two people in there? The ugly one is called Duan Bo, and the uglier one is called Hua Chong. They are responsible for the ROV operation of the 'Luna' - actually, Hua Chong should be responsible for the deck work. He's there now just to get a shot, and he shamelessly asked me to help him find a wife! This idiot found out we were filming him, and you see, he's smiling at us. He doesn't know I'm saying bad things about him! Haha! I'll adjust it again..."
There are a lot of ellipsis in the barrage.
Do you think everyone is ugly except you? Why is he ugly? Don't you see so many people asking for his contact information?
Xiao Peng paid no attention to the comments and continued, "Now appearing on camera is the ROV control room of the 'Calypso', the same control room that often appeared in the live broadcast. You should remember Operator Xiao Zhou. He used to be the top ROV operator during the salvage operation, and his skills are superb. Well, he's a bit more handsome than those two guys just now, but if you knew his name, I'm afraid no woman would like him anymore: His name is Zhou Xiaohong! It's a masculine name, right? I'll cut to the ROV again... Split screen! Okay! What you're seeing now is the image of two ROVs. Now let's begin this ocean adventure!"
At this point, Xiao Peng picked up the intercom: "Duan Bo! Xiao Zhou! Launch the ROV!"
