Chapter 192 Live Broadcast Search for Sunken Ship
Xiao Peng held a tool about one meter long and shaped like a paper airplane in his hand and said to the camera: "Someone just asked me how it was possible to buy a ship for 600,000 and spend 2 million on the renovation. Where did the money go? Now I will give you the answer. Walter, point the camera at the instrument." After he finished speaking, he realized that he was speaking in Chinese and Walter didn't understand, so he switched to French and repeated it.
Walter hurriedly pointed the camera at the tool in Xiao Peng's hand.
Xiao Peng glanced at the screen next to him. "Some people say my French isn't standard? Well, I admit it, it's definitely not a Parisian accent. I've been to Paris, but only briefly. I learned French in Marseille. People say French is difficult, but in reality, it's all about the environment. If you live in an environment where everyone speaks French, you can master the language proficiently in about half a year. We've strayed a bit, so let me show you this tool I have. It's called a 'multi-beam acoustic scanner.' Place it in the sea and it scans the seabed with acoustic waves, then displays a display showing what's on the seabed." Xiao Peng lowered the instrument to the seabed. "We can now tow this scanner with a boat, and the boat's computer will report the results. The waters in our area aren't deep. Because we're close to the continental shelf and islands, the deepest point is only a little over fifty meters. The scanner doesn't need to be lowered too far."
"Is it so easy to find a shipwreck?"
“Even if you put it down, you might not find it!”
"The ocean is too vast, and this scanner has a limited range. Of course, it's impossible to find a shipwreck that easily!"
“This instrument is amazing!”
Xiao Peng glanced at the comments and said, "This device is really good, but it's also very expensive. I bought the latest high-pressure deep-sea model, which cost me 1.1 million euros!"
"Fuck!"
“He is indeed a rich man!”
"Please support me and warm my bed!"
Looking at the barrage of comments, Xiao Peng laughed. "Alright, let's go back to the cabin and look at the monitor. Someone just said it's not that easy to find a shipwreck, but it's actually quite easy to find one, especially in a place like where I'm at right now. This has been a popular waterway since ancient times, so finding a shipwreck isn't difficult. Finding a valuable shipwreck is the hard part!"
After returning to the cabin, he glanced at the computer screen and whistled: "You are lucky, there is a sunken ship right here!"
The entire screen was instantly filled with barrages of comments.
"Is there really a shipwreck?"
"You must be kidding!"
"How can it be so easy to find a shipwreck? This must have been arranged in advance!"
"Yes, yes, it's all for the show!"
"How do you know there's a shipwreck on the seabed?"
Xiao Peng explained: "It's not surprising to see shipwrecks here. This area has been used for maritime trade for thousands of years, and most of the shipwrecks here have been discovered before. Many of them have become diving paradise. The shipwreck we saw may have been discovered before. After all, the water here is relatively shallow, but this is not certain. This place is close to the Cabrera Marine Reserve in Spain, so there are not many divers coming here."
"And you ask me how I know there is a shipwreck on the seabed? Look at this screen." He took the live camera from Walter and pointed at the screen. The software on the screen showed a group of black spots forming a shape like a fingerprint.
Xiao Peng explained, "This is the result from the multibeam sonic scanner. There's a protrusion on the seafloor, approximately twelve meters long and three and a half meters wide, a typical 'three to one' ratio. This result from the multibeam sonic scanner means there's a 90% chance of a shipwreck. I'd also speculate it's an ancient merchant ship. Look at its shape: the spots are concentrated in the front, but more dispersed in the back, like a bunch of grapes. This is a typical sign of sunken ancient merchant ships transporting flasks."
The barrage of comments started boiling again: "Let's go down and take a look!"
"If there really is a shipwreck down there, I'm going to eat shit live!"
"I'm not going to livestream eating shit. If there's a real shipwreck down there, I'll tip you a big rocket!"
"Hey, there must be a real shipwreck down there. This is all a show effect, it's all arranged! Otherwise, how could a shipwreck appear right after the multi-beam sonic scanner was lowered?"
Xiao Peng stood up and said, "If you don't want to watch, get out of here. What the hell is this show? Just hide your ignorance and don't let people laugh at you! How many shipwrecks are there on Earth? Over three million! The vast majority are in shipping lanes. At least five thousand shipwrecks can be found in the waters around Marseille! You're making a fuss over seeing a shipwreck. People like you are nothing but maggots in a small hut—they've never seen a big asshole!"
"The host has a bad temper!"
"This is the confidence of the rich! They don't expect to make money from live streaming!"
"What they said is true. If you don't want to watch it, just get lost. People like that are just idiots!"
"That guy just now was an idiot. He said something was impossible when he didn't see it? Isn't that just like a frog in a well?"
“I’ve dived many shipwrecks in Europe!”
"The show-off upstairs! Appraisal complete!"
Xiao Peng commanded, "Lower the sails, drop anchor! We're going to dive here and let these people see if there's a sunken ship on the seafloor!" He finished his command in French, then switched to Chinese and said, "I'm giving you a treat today. Who do you want to see join me in the sea?"
"It has to be twins!"
"No, the twins' breasts are too small, let mommy do it!"
"We should let that Walter get in the water. Look at those big pecs!"
"Damn, you upstairs are a man, right? I think I discovered something incredible!"
The one who finally decided to go into the water was Claire, and there was another wolf howling in the barrage, with everyone looking forward to seeing Claire in a bikini.
Xiao Peng took out his diving gear and said to the camera, "My diving mask has communication and video equipment, so you can see what I see on the seabed directly on the computer screen. I have a level three diving qualification certificate, and a depth of 47 meters is well within my diving capabilities. However, others may not be able to dive to this depth. What should we do in this situation? I have a solution!"
It is true that Claire changed into a swimsuit, but now she was wearing an Exosuit diving suit, and she walked out of the cabin with the help of others like an Iron Man.
The wolf howls in the barrage turned into wails:
"I want to see bikinis!"
"What the hell is this? A space suit?"
Some people are more knowledgeable: "Wow, this guy is really rich! This is a Canadian Exosuit diving suit! One set costs over 600,000 euros!"
"So expensive? Are you kidding me?"
"I'm kidding you guys! I can even dive 300 meters underwater wearing this! This is a toy for the rich!"
Xiao Peng ignored them and directly switched the live broadcast signal to the camera in the helmet: "The signal may be affected from now on, but you can see my first-person perspective. Claire, let's get in the water!"
