48 Hours a Day

Black Prince Sam sent more than a dozen of the most watery sailors into the area where the Spanish treasure ship was diving and quickly figured out where the gold was.

But then they had another problem.

How do we get this gold out of the ocean floor?

Where gold boxes fall half a nautical mile from the coastline, the depth of the water is about 20 meters, which is also the diving limit of the average person. In addition to being restricted by oxygen, every 10 meters of diving in the water is subjected to an additional atmospheric pressure, and the sewage pressure can cause obvious symptoms of nitrogen anesthesia, oxygen poisoning, etc.

Zhang Hengyin remembered that without any equipment, the biggest human diving record seemed to be more than 40 meters, not knowing how to do it.

These people, like Black Prince Sam, all grew up on the beach, many of them fishermen's children, with excellent water quality, but they just dived in and came right up where they could see the box, and only one person actually dived to the bottom and brought a gold bar scattered out.

“Looks like we're gonna be on this island for a while.” Black Prince Sam grinned bitterly.

But in any case, the joint hunt was a success.

Five thousand pounds of gold, even if divided into six boats, could be divided into large sums of money, in addition to which a shipment of tobacco had been transported, but it could not be rescued after flooding.

Even Brooke, who suffered the worst loss, was in a good mood, and half of the loot could still be left behind, even after deducting the cost of repairing the ship and pensions for the wounded.

Zhang Heng and his Cold Raven were, of course, even more enviable. He and Brooke served as bait, but eventually the three Spanish sailboats chose the less defensive Swordfish as their main target.

Apart from the two previous rounds of shelling, the Cold Raven was hardly attacked, and his entry points were well chosen when he closed the perimeter. The Cold Raven did not join the battle until after all four pirate ships in the Gulf attacked, when those three Spanish sailboats had lost control of him.

While baiting earlier, Zhang Heng's choices and timing were excellent. Not only did he succeed in seducing his opponent, but he also won an opportunity for the retreat of the Swordfish. Without his two entanglements, Brooke and his crew would now be feeding the fish under the sea.

So the captain of the Swordfish was very grateful to Zhang Heng. He came ashore to thank him personally. Zhang Heng had not had much contact with Brooke before, but he was not unfamiliar with the name, not only because of the latter's fame in Nassau, but also because of his joint letter of recommendation.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Heng and Brooke came into contact and found that the latter was not as cold as it seemed. In fact, he was quite talkative. When discussing the battle plan several times before, he had spared no words like Kim. In addition, he did not have ten sentences. Zhang Heng thought that his personality was like this, but now it seems that this is not the case.

“I'm sorry, I'm not targeting anyone else, I'm just a little conflicted with powder Jarvis.” Brooke Road

Jarvis Gunpowder, captain of another Pirate Warrior during the operation, was also one of the names in the joint letter of recommendation.

Zhang Heng remembered that Black Prince Sam said that he had used this to reconcile the conflict between two friends, so it should be Brooke and Jarvis. I didn't think he would call them again for this operation.

“Jarvis and I have been old friends for over a decade, and I had a longer relationship with him than Sam. About two months ago, I got a valuable clue that there was a slave ship from Africa that was going to Boston, and the cargo was very well colored, and it was all young and healthy between the ages of 16 and 18, and the teeth were neat, and I got to the boat's course early, and suddenly I was about to kill an unknown group of guys, and I sent them to talk to me, but they didn't say anything about the rules, they killed the boatman I sent out, and then they didn't say anything about it directly to me, but their boat wasn't fast enough for me, and I finally got away.

“In retrospect, I always had the feeling that those people were coming at me, so it wasn't a coincidence, it was a personal vendetta.” Brookton broke down, "but I only told Jarvis about it before I went out, so when I got back, I went to his place to interview him in person. He denied it, and he was angry, saying I shouldn't have doubted him. I thought I had wronged him, but then I sent someone to investigate and found him sneaking out of Nassau the night before I went out, but he wasn't on his own boat. ”

“Do you have a problem with this? ”

Brooke nodded, “I just don't understand why he would do this to me in the relationship between the two of us, forget it... I'm too lazy to think about this, I promised Sam I wouldn't do it to him, but that's all, there's nothing between us from now on. ”

Brooke and Zhang Heng had another chat, when Eric, the black rudder on the Veda, walked over.

“Ah, here you are, we're in luck. Bauer's people found some wild goats and rabbits on the island, and we have oral drinks tonight, and there's a lot of rum on board, and Sam proposes to throw a bonfire party to celebrate the success of this operation, and we're the first pirates in the area to successfully rob a Spanish treasure ship. ”

“Celebrate, now, but aren't those gold still underwater?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Yeah, but they won't get away with it anyway, so don't worry, we'll find a way to get them.” Eric patted Zhang Heng's shoulder, "is there anything you can eat over there, you can also contribute. ”

“I can serve 30 barrels of rum, plus a fresh batch of lemons. ”

“Excellent, I'll organize some more hand fishing, and your lemons can be used to go fishy. ”

Brooke on the other side stalled, “As you can see, there's nothing on my boat now. ”

“It's okay, Captain Sam is already working on this, maybe you can thank Lower Jarvis, and I hear he's willing to give you a third of the supply. ”

Brooke picked out the eyebrows, "Was he voluntary, or did Captain Sam tell him to do so? ”

“What's the difference between the two?” The black rudder blinked. "Big time, Brooke. That thing's been going on for so long, you want to get involved with it again? When we get the gold from the bottom of the ocean, your previous losses will be covered. ”

Brooke snorted, but nothing more.
