Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"Then do it this way. From now on, we will add a night shift to carry out night searches." After receiving the approval of the night action plan from the professionals on the ship, Mr. Scold nodded.

Everyone, including Mr. Scord himself, knew that in addition to increasing everyone's labor, this would also increase expenses. But for people who own yachts, such expenses are not a problem.

Especially at this juncture of searching for the Terror, the cost of using the ship is nothing. Although the honor of finding Franklin's missing expedition this time mainly belongs to Liang En, now Scood has the opportunity to win the title of discoverer of the Terror. .

This is very important to him. As a lover of exploration and archeology, it is a very valuable thing to be able to discover some important historical relics, so Mr. Scold will naturally strive for it.

So two hours later, everyone began to implement a new action plan. Everyone was automatically divided into several groups, and then began to prepare for a 24-hour cycle search.

"Wake up, wake up!" Just when Liang En finished his work and was sleeping soundly, the door was opened, and then Pierce walked in and shook him awake.

"Please, it's 4 o'clock in the morning." After rubbing his eyes and looking at the watch on the bedside, Liang En said helplessly while getting dressed. "Can't we tell you if we find something tomorrow?"

"There is no way. You are the only professional on the ship. We have to make sure that the thing I found is the target we are looking for." Pierce said when he and Liang En went out together.

"If it's not, we can rest tonight and wait until tomorrow to continue the operation. If it's not, we still need to continue searching. So if you go and see it, everyone can rest assured."

After entering the sonar control room, Liang En immediately looked at the screen. A ruins on the seabed appeared on the screen, which indeed looked like a ship.

"It should be this place." After comparing it with the known information, Liang En quickly came to the conclusion, "This is a three-masted steam sailing ship, and it is indeed very close to the missing Terror in terms of size."

"That's good." After receiving Liang En's confirmation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although judging from the current situation, the ship is indeed very similar to the missing boat, but no one dared to comment on it before getting confirmation from professionals. Undergo verification.

After hearing Liang En's conclusion, everyone suddenly felt a sense of relief, so except for a few people on duty, everyone went to rest.

After a hasty breakfast the next morning, all the non-duty staff on the ship gathered in the control room. Then the underwater robot was hoisted from the stern of the ship by a crane and drove towards the wreckage discovered yesterday.

Because there were not many ships passing through this place in the past, it is basically possible to determine the identity of the ship when seeing wreckage of similar size.

However, this cannot be used as a reason in archaeological work, so they must now obtain further detailed information to determine the identity of the ship.

For example, the previous ship's bell of the Netherworld was an irrefutable proof, but being able to find the ship's bell was considered extremely lucky. Liang En never expected that his luck would be so good this time.

This is also true. After the underwater robot circled the ship, it found that there were only some broken boards and rotten ropes around, and nothing of value existed.

Compared with the previous Netherworld, the wreckage of the Terror was more completely preserved. Even when the underwater robot moved to the stern of the ship, it was discovered that most of the glass on the stern building was intact.

Looking in through the gaps in the ship, everyone found that there was a thick layer of silt accumulated inside the ship, but other than that, the contents inside did not seem to have been damaged much.

Small robots also have the advantage of small robots. Although it is difficult to bring things up from the water, they can also get in through those small gaps to check the situation inside the ship.

Now the robot is entering a storage room in Captain Francis Crozier's cabin. The shelves in the storage room are still filled with plates, glass bottles, tripods and a pair of thermometers. They look the same as they did 170 years ago.

After looking through several other gaps, they found that not only the positions of the furniture and cabinets had not changed, but even the drawers were completely closed. The items and documents were well preserved under the cover of thick mud. sex.

Considering that the wreckage of the Terror, which is located 42m underwater, has always been in extremely low temperature, dimness and light, this low-temperature, anoxic and dark environment is extremely conducive to the preservation of fragile organic cultural relics.

In other words, there are likely to be written materials that have survived in this place, and these materials will play an irreplaceable role in studying what that expedition team experienced.

In the next two days, they used underwater robots to repeatedly inspect the wreckage. However, because they were worried about damaging cultural relics, they only retreated slightly deep into the hull each time.

In fact, if we use artificial intelligence, we should explore more than this, but there are some dangers in both the water depth of more than 40 meters and the turbid bottom, so for safety reasons, they do not plan to send divers into the water.

Of course, the lack of training of the divers on board in this regard is also a serious problem, because underwater monuments that have been there for more than a hundred years are relatively fragile, so it is difficult for people without special training to ensure safety during exploration. Security of cultural relics.

Just like when Liang En and the others were investigating the Netherworld, the divers only dared to move around the ship and did not dare to enter the interior of the ship.

To be honest, if Mr. Scord's underwater robot hadn't been small enough, they wouldn't have let the robot enter the ship to explore. After all, the crime of destroying cultural relics was really unbearable.

Although they did not find anything like a ship's bell that could directly prove the identity of the ship during the entire search, they still determined the identity of the ship through mapping the entire ship and comparing it with information about the Terror.

"Friends, we have found the second ship in the Franklin expedition, the Terror. Let us congratulate Mr. Scold." After making the final determination through repeated comparisons, Liang En announced while everyone was having dinner Got this good news.

This is not because he was flattering Scood, because the specific clues now were obtained from the local indigenous people, and the reason why those indigenous people were willing to tell the news was directly related to Scood's timely decision to rescue the wounded.

Therefore, according to archaeological tradition, the honor of the discoverer of this ship should indeed belong to Mr. Scoud.

In an instant, the restaurant was filled with cheers, and the group of people who cheered the loudest were all Mr. Scoud's subordinates. After all, as a subordinate, your boss always has to express his gratitude after receiving an honor.

Of course, Liang En and the others applauded and cheered from the bottom of their hearts. After all, the other party was the sponsor of this adventure and had declared in advance that he would not take any of the bonuses from this adventure.
