Chapter Seventy-Four: Preparing for the Banquet "So, this is a trick of the enemy to confuse the public?
Isn't all this done by Wang Fangyi?
It's great.
Hearing Li Zhen's explanation to Wang Fangyi, Cheng Chuliang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "But since it is not Wang Fangyi, who does His Highness think will do it?"
” "Not necessarily."
Li Zhen shook her head, there are so many forces that want to kill herself, who knows which one?
"Unless the ship is fished out of the deep sea, it will be very difficult to know the identity of the other party from these fragments."
"I'm afraid it's not easy."
Speaking of this, Cheng Chuliang's brows suddenly furrowed: "My subordinates sent someone to go into the water to explore, but they only went down for about eighty meters and couldn't go down again, and according to the reaction of the people who came up, it was dark under the water, and I couldn't see anything, but judging from experience, it should be far from the bottom."
Later, the subordinates tried it with the anchor, and the anchor was connected with several ropes, adding up to more than 3,000 meters, before the general touched the bottom of the water, and when we pulled the anchor up, we found that it was cold, frozen to the bone marrow, and there was a tendency to freeze on the anchor head, which was really scary......
"I'll go ......"
Cheng Chuliang said later, Li Zhen didn't hear anything, he only heard that someone could actually dive up to 80 meters without equipment - this is simply a miracle.
Of course, Li Zhen knows that the freediving record of later generations is one hundred and five meters, and this is not a limit record, maybe it will be broken at any time, the question is what is the situation of people?
They are professionally trained, and before diving, they not only have to do a variety of physical examinations, but also to find out the conditions of the seabed, and the preparation alone takes several months, which consumes a lot of money and resources.
But now, the situation under the sea is unknown, the crew has not undergone professional training, has not made preparations, and is not even psychologically prepared, they may not even know what the pressure is, but in such a situation, someone actually challenged the record of 80 meters and came back alive, except for the word miracle, Li Zhen really couldn't find any other comments - to put it mildly, you have the ability to let the kid of one hundred and five meters do it like this, and see if he is really stupid to jump down, Or just say hello to your face with a big-eared scraper?
"Your Highness is also shocked, and your subordinates also think so."
Because Li Zhen untied the knot in his heart, Cheng Chuliang's mood became much better: "To be honest, my subordinates were also shocked when they just found out, and the sailors sent by my subordinates spit out a mouthful of blood when they came up, and they almost didn't rescue him......
This seabed is too dangerous, it seems that you should pay attention to it in the future, and never let people go into the sea easily unless it is absolutely necessary. ” "That's not necessary, if you prepare in advance, it's still okay to go to the sea to explore, after all, the treasures in the sea are no less than those on the mainland."
For Cheng Chuliang's mentality of being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, Li Zhen made a correction, such a mentality is not what he wants, the reclamation of the sea can not only not be banned, but must also be encouraged - everyone in the 21st century knows that the future of mankind is in the sea, and the sea will also be the last pure land of mankind......
Although it is only the seventh century, there are still many places on the mainland that have not been cultivated, and it is still too early for the sea to be reclaimed, but it is not wrong to plan ahead and prepare a little in advance.
"Yes, my subordinates will make preparations for this when they go back."
Cheng Chuliang naturally didn't know Li Zhen's plans, but he also understood that what Li Zhen said was indeed the truth, and there were also many secret treasures in the sea - if it could form a large-scale mining, it would indeed be possible to make endless profits.
However, this plan should not go very smoothly, because it is a very dangerous thing to go to the sea to collect resources, and many people have been paralyzed and cramped because of the seaweed entangled in the water or because of the sudden drop in water temperature, and they have never come up again - but in this era, with the development of Nanyang has entered a period of stable development, the imperial court has immigrated more than two million people in Nanyang, and the people of Datang no longer have to suffer from the risk of freezing and starvation, and the development of the Great Voyage has also brought endless opportunities, but I am afraid that everyone will not choose this high-risk industry- Even if Li Zhen publicized the profits of the seabed, it would not be good for everyone, after all, in the early days of the Age of Discovery, as long as you dare to go to sea, as long as you have a little luck, you can naturally make a fortune, and the danger in this is much lighter than going to sea.
Li Zhen had no choice but to take her time.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Seeing that this was over, Li Ergou leaned over and asked.
Li Zhen thought for a moment and said: "The enemy was destroyed by us, and in the past few days, I should not dare to trouble us anymore, today the brothers have been fighting for so long, first find a piece of shallow sea to anchor and repair for a day, so that the brothers can have a good rest." ” "Thank you, Your Highness, everyone will be very happy, and my subordinates will go and prepare."
Cheng Chuliang was very happy, to be honest, although it was very exciting when he fought, he would feel tired after the battle, especially just now when they not only had to fight with the enemy, but also with the wind, and almost used up all their strength - before he came to Li Zhen, he saw that many brothers on the ship were so tired that they collapsed on the deck.
After solving the enemy, the atmosphere in the fleet was relaxed, and Li Zhen's order was conveyed by Cheng Chuliang, and he immediately won a burst of cheers.
After salvaging all the valuables, the fleet set sail again, and successfully found a reef area to dock before nightfall.
Because of the victory, someone proposed a celebration banquet, which was successfully passed by Li Zhen, and there was jubilation in the fleet - the fishing boats began to work, and all kinds of fishing tools were put into the sea to start salvaging fresh seafood.
In an age when the sea is not completely polluted, you don't have to worry about not catching enough food in the sea, especially if it's a shallow area where some warm-loving sea creatures prefer to congregate.
Therefore, today's Datang fleet, whether it is a warship or a merchant ship, will bring a considerable number of fishing boats when sailing, and therefore reduce the amount of food supply and increase the loading capacity of goods, only need to bring a little staple food and vegetables and water, and even some unscrupulous fleets simply do not bring staple food, all staple food is caught from the sea - this makes many crew members hate, after all, anything will be disgusted if they eat too much, at least half a month at a time, eating this every day is simply a disaster.
