Chapter 19 Haidilao

In the bloodthirsty world, wars continued, and countries fought each other to destroy each other's military power and plunder the other's material wealth. Over the years, a large number of ships have been sunk, not only warships, but also merchant ships, and many treasure transport ships have left behind many known and unknown sunken treasures under the sea.

As a sub-skill, salvage is not very demanding and appears in the intermediate level of search technology. Therefore, many novice players also use it as a means to gain wealth. Although the shipwreck salvage skills are easy to obtain, it is not that easy to successfully salvage treasures to the bottom of the sea.

First, you must rely on the guidance of the shipwreck map or some mission information to find the sinking place. It is not easy to obtain this information, and it is even more difficult to obtain information about major undersea treasures. Secondly, the level of salvage skills has a great impact on the success or failure of salvage and the salvage time.

Underwater conditions are complex at any time. There are many uncertain factors such as water flow, visibility, etc., and when visibility is poor, you can only see a range of one or two meters; the turbulent water flow will also sweep away the sailors who are exploring. In addition, underwater organisms are also a potential threat. Therefore, salvage of shipwrecks is a very dangerous job. Not having high skills to salvage shipwrecks is simply self-abuse, or even seeking death!

Before leaving, He Xiaosai used the last idle skill point to learn the primary salvage technique.

——Elementary salvage technique: A skill that can locate and salvage sunken ships in the water, with a positioning range of 10 meters. The higher the level, the stronger the positioning and salvage ability. Active skill.

The waters for primary salvage techniques are not wide, and the precise positioning of the shipwreck cannot be achieved. If there are more skill points, He Xiaosai will not be stingy with this skill.

The first task of salvage shipwreck is to go into the water for exploration and positioning, followed by salvage. This is the job of sailors on the ship. All the abilities of sailors are directly affected by the captain's skills. The accidental death of sailors will reduce their loyalty.

Of course, the captain of the player can also go into the water to investigate, but most players will not do this. Because if they die underwater, they will be punished by reducing the character level, so it is much more cost-effective to kill a few NPC sailors to reduce their loyalty points than to reduce the character level.

...

At this moment, He Xiaosai was driving the Red Shark to the approximate location of the Red Fork in the shipwreck map.

It is close to the island, the near-shore current is very fast, and there are reefs nearby. The near-shore current and the coastal current form a turbulent flow after the reef collided, and the sea water fluctuated violently. The waves slapped the reefs and the hull of the Red Shark, causing huge waves.

"According to my salvage skills, it's probably this position." He Xiaosai said,

"The wind and waves are a bit heavy today, and the water flows here are very fast. Captain, it may not be safe." The sailors were a little worried.

"The water here is not deep, and the visibility is pretty good. Let's go into the water to see if the shipwreck is near us. Now if you don't salvage, you can only find out the location, so it should not be very dangerous." He Xiaosai was actually unsure of what he said.

"Okay, Captain!"

He Xiaosai moved the salvage technique, and five sailors jumped into the water, and one of them sneaked into the sea. A few minutes later, the sailors emerged from the sea one after another, and while breathing heavily, they waved their hands to indicate that there was no wreck.

"Captain, the visibility is good below, but the water flows a little fast. Let's take a breath and go searching there later."

"Okay, if the shipwreck appears, each person will be rewarded with 1 gold coin and a portion of rum!" He Xiaosai used material to motivate the sailors,

"Okay! Thank you Captain!" After saying that, several sailors plunged into the sea again.

Not long after, He Xiaosai suddenly felt something was wrong and was shocked. The system had an alarm!

Ding, system prompts: 3 sailors are swept away by turbulence, and your sailors will be reduced by 3!

Fake! This primary salvage technique is really difficult to deal with the 6-star mission. It has lost three sailors. I wonder how much loyalty it will be reduced?

He Xiaosai secretly checked the crew information, and now his loyalty has not decreased, but he still 1oo. He turned to look at the sailors on the boat. They were not dissatisfied with the dead crew. It seems that my brother was not in vain to drink and eat barbecue with the sailors. The sailors can still swear allegiance to the captain.

The remaining two sailors had just climbed onto the boat panting, and then five sailors jumped into the sea and continued to investigate the location of the wreck. As a result, two more sailors died without any suspense.

He Xiaosai decided to stop it. If this continues, loyalty will not be counted. Once the number of sailors is lower than the minimum value, it will cause impairment to ship attributes such as ships and artillery damage.

It seems that we can't continue today, so we can only wait until the weather improves the next day before we come. So the Red Shark had to return to Secret Camp Island in helplessness. In the next two days, the weather still did not improve, and the wind and waves on the sea were still very big. He Xiaosai suffered a loss. Although he was quite anxious, he did not dare to force the water to locate the shipwreck again.

On the third day, the wind and waves on the sea finally calmed down. Although there were still some small waves, it was much better than the previous few days. He Xiaosai summoned the crew to board the ship early in the morning and sailed to the position of the red cross on the shipwreck map again.

Today's wind and waves have no fatal impact on the sailors. However, Xiaosai's salvage skills are too low, so he can only detect the sea area of ​​the 10-meter range of the ship. The positioning is extremely inaccurate, so he has to change places continuously. After changing more than a dozen places, he has not located the wreck. At this moment, it is more than 50 meters away from the initial launch.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, He Xiaosai had to return helplessly.

In this way, I went back and forth for 7 days while waiting for the good weather and the launching position! Although there were no more sailor casualties, the shipwreck was still not found. The morale of He Xiaosai and the Shuishumen dropped sharply, and everyone was depressed. So He Xiaosai held another barbecue event, which slightly boosted the morale of some sailors.

On the 8th day, after a long and anxious wait on the boat, He Xiaosai finally heard a cheerful reminder!

Ding, the system prompts: You have successfully positioned the shipwreck and can carry out salvage work!

"Oh!" The whole boat cheered and excited. He Xiaosai kissed the five scholars with sea water hard. Each of them was rewarded 5 gold coins, while the other sailors were rewarded 2 gold coins each! The morale of the whole boat was greatly boosted!

Next is salvage. After He Xiaosai performed the salvage operation, dozens of sailors hurried into the water with thick cables and various tools, dredged the wreck, tied it up, and installed floating barrels on the bottom of the water. Other sailors used built lifting devices to lift the wreck on the ship.

The shipwreck floated very slowly. Every time He Xiaosai used salvage, the shipwreck rose less than half a meter, and it also caused many sinking due to the influence of water flow and operation. Every time it sinks, a group of red characters appeared in the Red Shark.-55,-65..., this damage is like being bombarded!

Therefore, every time the shipwreck sinks, He Xiaosai has to perform salvage and repair techniques at the same time, salvage and repair it. After a few moments, he is empty again and then he is busy gnawing biscuits.

Finally... Ding, the system prompts: You successfully salvaged Drake's shipwreck and gained experience of 8ooo! The character level has been raised to level 18! Get 2 skill points! Please drag the shipwreck into the port before exploring!

The shipwreck finally came out of the water! The sailors hugged each other and cheered loudly, and some even cried with joy. He Xiaosai was so tired that he collapsed on the deck, not wanting to move.

Ding, the system prompts: You have used 2 skill points to upgrade salvage to advanced!

——Intermediate salvage: A skill that can locate and salvage sunken ships in the water. The positioning range is 20 meters. The higher the level, the stronger the positioning and salvage ability. It comes with an intermediate towing effect. Active skill.

——Advanced salvage: A skill that can locate and salvage sunken ships in the water, with a positioning range of 50 meters. The higher the level, the stronger the positioning and salvage ability. It comes with advanced towing effect. Active skills.

——Touring effect: The salvaged shipwreck must be towed into the port before exploration can be explored. The towing effect has the function of strengthening cables and accelerating the towing vessel.

He Xiaosai knew that the shipwreck had only completed two-thirds of the total salvage work, and one-third of the tug was towed back to the port. The tug was also a technical job. If the cable was accidentally broken, the shipwreck would sink back into the sea and all his efforts would be wasted. At that time, positioning and salvage would be carried out, which He Xiaosai would not want anyway.

So he decisively used the two skill points he just obtained to upgrade the salvage technique to the advanced because the skill comes with a towing effect!

"Young guys, go back to celebrate with extra dishes today, make hot pot, Haidilao!"

"Long live! Long live the captain!"
