After strolling around, Lei Tiantang took Kaila in a good mood and got on the helicopter on the ship, ready to take a good look at the sea scenery when the sun went down.

The next day, all the employees on the ship became busy, because today the salvage of the sunken ship will be officially started. The submarine dive yesterday afternoon was the last preparation work. Before Lei Tian Tang came They have already done almost everything that needs to be done.

Powell took the walkie-talkie in the captain’s room and commanded methodically. Although this was the first time he had used such an advanced salvage vessel to carry out salvage operations, his rich experience allowed him to arrange various tasks properly.

Lei Tiantang and Kayla were also in the captain's room. The two did not disturb Powell who was working. They just sat in front of the big screen of the monitor and watched the live view of the scene. You can see all the details here, if it is on the deck. If you look at it, you can see very few things.

The Strait of Malacca is the "golden seaway" that connects the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It has an extremely important strategic position in international politics, military, economics, and trade.

From the early 16th century to the 1890s, the early colonial powers-Portugal, the Netherlands, England, etc., in order to seize the sea power of the Indian Ocean, consolidate their colonial rule in India, and control the spices in the Southeast Asian archipelago and the peninsula. Purchase and trade monopoly of tin and other commodities.

And then based in Southeast Asia, invaded China, and opened up the Chinese and East Asian markets, and thus launched a long-term battle around the Strait of Malacca. The early colonists’ struggle for the Strait of Malacca was aimed at expanding the colony, strengthening economic plunder, and expanding raw materials. Market.

At that time, cargo ships ranging from sailing ships to steam engine ships did not have many means to resist various natural disasters and other disasters that could sink the cargo ship.

And in those days, the pirates near Malacca were very rampant. They would rob various cargo ships passing by. Especially as the artillery technology became more mature, the pirates had a higher success rate in robbery, but sometimes these pirates would also fail. These cargo ships were sunk carefully, so the number of sunk cargo ships on this busy route is very staggering.

Although shipwrecks are often found on this route, and many salvage companies have made a lot of money, compared with the sunken ship still sinking on the bottom of the sea, the salvaged shipwreck is nothing short of a win. The shipwreck they are currently salvaging is such a cargo ship in the early 19th century. The reason why they can locate such a shipwreck at one time is mainly due to the efforts of the salvage company's employees.

Stimulated by the huge dividends, none of the employees of the salvage company were lazy. When there was no salvage task, all employees were on duty. They searched various libraries and the Internet for possible shipwreck information, and then sent someone secretly to the possibility. Investigate the place of the shipwreck.

If there are preliminary findings, the investigating employees will immediately report it, and the company will immediately send professionals to do further work. After the shipwreck is formally confirmed, the company will send a salvage vessel to salvage, which is what they salvage now. The reason why this shipwreck can be hit in one hit.

Everyone may find it strange, in such a money-first country, do employees have this kind of loyalty? Now that the shipwreck has been found, why not sell the news? Or is it better to salvage secretly?

But of course employees are not fools. They report the situation immediately, and the company will immediately issue a large bonus. This bonus may be slightly lower than the money for selling intelligence, but this money can be spent honestly. And if the shipwreck has a harvest, they can still get a lot of dividends. When the two are added together, the money will definitely be much more than the money they can get from selling intelligence.

As for secretly salvaging them, this is even more impossible. You must know why they salvaged the company by Lei Tiantang? It's not because the company lost money in several salvage operations! There are few salvage companies that really make money.

What's more, if you salvage yourself, the initial amount of money you need to invest is at least several hundred thousand U.S. dollars. Such a large sum of money is not something that anyone can take out. Moreover, it may be hacked if there is no means. , That almost 100% will be hacked and harvested, and no one will stand out for them.

Even if there are gains and they are not hacked, don’t you still have to share these gains with others. In the end, the gains may not be reported to the company honestly, and then you can get a lot of bonuses and dividends. Everyone is not a fool. Anyone who has worked in this business for a period of time will count the accounts.

As the preparation work was done very well, at the same time, this salvage operation was a destructive salvage, only salvaging valuable things, so the entire salvage work progressed very quickly.

The salvage of this cargo ship was all completed before it arrived at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. After the robot checked it with an underwater camera, the first salvage operation of the "Deep Sea Troll" ended.

Lei Tiantang watched Kaila happily and the company employees sorting out the harvest in the warehouse. He was speechless. The main reason was that the salvage was very small in his opinion, and he didn't know how to complain. Good.

This is a cargo ship that mainly carries spices~lightnovelpub.net~ Spices are of course unacceptable, so the valuable goods salvaged are mainly from the captain’s private warehouse and some crew members’ private collections.

About dozens of kilograms of gold, some unprocessed diamonds, these gold and diamonds may have been obtained by the captain from the three countries, and there are also some metal currencies from the 18th to the 19th century. There are gold and silver coins, but the quantity is not It is estimated to be around 2,000 together.

Kaila is mainly interested in the cultural relics in the captain’s private warehouse. There are several golden Buddha statues and some wooden sculptures. These wooden sculptures can be soaked in sea water for such a long time without being damaged. It is estimated that the materials are also good.

"Boss, we have made a preliminary estimate. The harvest this time is between 8.5 million US dollars and 10 million US dollars. The specific figures will not be known until all these items are sold, but the difference should not be too big!" After more than half an hour, Powell reported the harvest to Lei Tiantang who was standing aside.

"I'll go! This time we have spent 5 million dollars in the sea now! We have to pay taxes, and then everyone will get a point. In the end, it is estimated that the boss will have half a million dollars left? Really to earn pocket money. That's right!" Lei Tiantang grinned loudly and said.
