Chapter 52: The King's Scepter In The 6Th Century [Fourth Update]
The vast ocean!
No matter how powerful the mining ship is, the coverage area is always limited.
The situation on the seabed is changeable, and the goal of this trip is uncertain. It is only from some fragmentary information that there is a sunken ship. As for whether the sunken ship has what Zhang Heng needs, there is an unknown.
In addition, the time is long. If the thing really exists, it is also sunk in the sea area in this area. So, is it blown away by the ocean current?
It should be noted that the location of the sunken ship is fixed, but it does not mean that the sunken ship will always be in the position where it sinks. The sea water is flowing, and there are ocean currents deep in the seabed, which will also blow the sunken ship to other locations.
The longer the time, the farther it may drift.
The idiom "finding a needle in a haystack" describes the difficulty of salvage. Isn't there a metaphor because the seabed is changeable?
Still sailing at a speed of 100 knots!
The speed is really not slow, 100 nautical miles per hour, equivalent to 185.2 kilometers.
Just like plowing the land, calculate the range area and try not to repeat the searched sea area.
Plow once within a diameter of 15 nautical miles on the left.
There was no discovery.
"Continue to search to the left!"
Zhang Heng was always staring at the sea chart on the virtual screen, which also showed the location of the mining ship, and he knew it clearly: "If there is nothing this time, search the sea area on the left again. It will exceed 100 nautical miles, and it is estimated to be almost there."
"Understood!" Smart No. 1 did not have a good solution. If it was in its heyday, it would only need to scan and detect once in the center of this sea area to cover it all, but who can blame it for the serious damage?
Two times in a row!
Time was passing quickly.
Still no harvest.
"Right full rudder, search the sea area on the right!"
Zhang Heng's heart sank a little bit, and it was also reflected on his face. It can be seen that he was not in a good mood. He was angry: "If there is nothing, search in the Persian Gulf, maybe it is a backflow?"
"If it doesn't work, search in the Red Sea. I don't believe that evil." Zhang Heng added viciously.
As long as the thing exists, it will definitely be found by searching so many sea areas. As for not being able to find it, it means that the thing does not exist.
The reason is very simple. No matter how strong the ocean current is, it can't blow too far. It must be within the search range.
You should know that the deepest water in this sea area is only a little over 1,000 meters, which is within the absolute scanning and detection depth of the mining ship.
"Understood!"
Intelligent No. 1 seemed to feel that the captain was in a bad mood. Without saying much, he executed the order seriously.
The search started from the right side of the original arrival position!
After one time!
There is no so-called surprise, so do it again.
"After this time, we have reached the mouth of the Persian Gulf."
Zhang Heng has been staring at the sea chart, which also marks the distance, so that he can see at a glance: "Maybe they went straight after leaving the Persian Gulf, and it is not impossible for them to sink at the mouth of the Persian Gulf."
This is entirely possible, especially after searching the entire Arabian Sea on the left side and finding nothing, it is even more certain.
"Beep..."
"Captain, I found something!"
Intelligent No. 1 changed its tone, no longer dull, but cheerful: "Buried deep in the mud on the seabed, the seabed is 30 meters deep, I just don't know if it is..."
"Show it on the virtual screen!"
Zhang Heng was overjoyed when he heard this, and seemed very anxious: "I want to see the shape, although I don't know what it looks like, but as long as the shape is roughly determined."
"Okay!"
Intelligent No. 1 naturally would not resist the order, and displayed it on the virtual shield, and explained: "Because the mud is very deep, it can no longer be clear."
"That's enough!"
Zhang Heng nodded, no longer said anything, and gestured on the virtual screen with his hands, forming a C shape with his thumbs and index fingers, and then pulled it diagonally to enlarge the image: "There will be no mistake, bring it up for me."
Rectangular, about 80 cm long.
It can be vaguely seen that there is a relatively large end with a large gem inlaid on the top. The scanning detection results show that it contains gold.
Not only is there a big gem on the top, but there are dozens of gems of different sizes inlaid.
Scepter!
Yes, it is a scepter.
In ancient times, the scepter symbolized supreme power, which is exactly what he wants to salvage this time.
The king's scepter from the 6th century was also the supreme king's scepter of the Great Camel Kingdom at that time.
"Clean it up and send it over!"
Zhang Heng suppressed his excitement. He still couldn't confirm it 100%, but it should be OK. To confirm it finally, it needs the signature of relevant experts.
But one thing is certain!
This scepter is precious and has a deeper symbolic meaning.
As for whether it is from the 6th century in the Great Camel Kingdom, it is no longer important.
If it is, it is of course the best. If it is not, it doesn't matter. It is of great use to him.
