Fishermen's live stream: Twelve bodies were retrieved at the start.
Chapter 26: A wrecked ship was salvaged?
The crew members were so excited that their faces turned red, and they rubbed their hands together, eager to see the mountain of fish.
"We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!"
"My goodness! Nearly 6,000 jin in one net! We've stirred up a hornet's nest!"
"Quick, quick! Pull them up and let's see what kind of amazing school of angelfish these are!"
Lin Siyu excitedly hugged Lin Mo's arm, jumping and skipping around.
"Brother! You're amazing! You're so amazing!"
"We're rich! Hahaha!"
The live stream chat was flooded with comments!
"Witnessing history! I am witnessing the birth of a fishing legend!"
"I take back what I said earlier. This isn't luck, it's a miracle! It's the sea god possessing me!"
"Hurry up and pull the net up! I want to see what 6,000 pounds of fish look like piled up together!"
Amidst the clamor and uproar, Lin Mo was the only one who remained calm.
His brows were still tightly furrowed.
Even in a dense school of fish, the increase in weight should be a relatively gradual process.
But just now, the weight suddenly increased!
It's like a fishing net suddenly getting caught on an incredibly heavy behemoth!
"Everyone, please be careful!"
Lin Mo picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order in a deep voice.
"Keep the winch retracting, at the slowest speed possible! Stop the machine immediately if any abnormality occurs!"
"receive!"
The crew immediately began to carry out the order.
"Buzz...buzz..."
The winch motor started up again, this time even more heavily than before.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
Everyone stared at the churning sea, not daring to blink.
The number of comments in the live stream room has decreased significantly.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the huge fishing net was slowly pulled out of the water!
However, when they saw what was inside the fishing net, the anticipation on everyone's faces froze instantly.
Those weren't some shimmering silver fish at all!
It was a small wooden boat covered with seaweed and shells!
The ship's structure looks very simple, just like the small fishing boats commonly used by coastal fishermen for near-shore operations.
However, its size and weight far exceed those of its kind.
At this moment, it is wrapped in a huge fishing net, and seawater is constantly dripping from its hull.
Everyone on the deck was stunned.
The crew members looked at each other, and began to express their disappointment.
"What...what is this thing?"
"A wrecked ship? We went through all that trouble, and all we got was a wrecked ship?"
"What a waste of time! All that excitement for nothing!"
Lin Siyu's smile froze. She stared in disbelief at the wrecked ship, her pretty face falling.
"Huh? How come it's a ship?!"
She stomped her foot in anger, her face clearly showing her displeasure.
"Bro! What a waste of effort! This piece of junk is incredibly heavy, let's just throw it back!"
In the live stream, the viewers who were just immersed in the myth of "6,000 catties in one net" instantly went wild.
"I've cracked open! A wrecked ship?"
"Hilarious! The biggest blunder of the year! The 'Silent God' scooped up 6,000 pounds of trash in one net!"
"I thought it was a whale! Turns out it's just a shipwreck. Forget it, this is no fun."
"This ship looks so rotten; it's probably been at the bottom of the sea for many years."
"It's worthless, just throw it away, it takes up space and is super heavy."
Lin Mo looked at the wrecked ship, his brows furrowing even deeper.
Indeed, an ordinary shipwreck has no salvage value and would only incur huge costs.
The best course of action is to throw it back into the sea immediately.
Just as he was about to give the order, his gaze inadvertently fell on the stern of the wooden boat.
Ok?
Something seems off there.
Near the bottom of the stern, there is a perfectly regular rectangular groove.
The edge of the groove also has a ring of slots that are clearly used to hold the baffle in place.
This is definitely not the structure a normal fishing boat should have!
Ordinary fishing boats strive for a smooth hull to reduce navigation resistance.
Who would have the time and inclination to dig such a perfectly regular groove in the hull of a ship? Unless…
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat!
Could there be... a hidden world behind this recessed baffle?
"Get it up here!"
Lin Mo gave the order almost without hesitation.
"what?"
Lin Siyu was stunned for a moment, looking at him with confusion.
"Brother, what do you need this wrecked boat for? You can't sell it for money!"
"Yeah, boss!"
The young crew member also offered advice.
"This thing is incredibly heavy. It'll take a lot of time and effort to get it up here, and it'll take up deck space, affecting subsequent operations!"
Lin Mo didn't explain, but simply repeated it again.
"I said, get it on the boat!"
Seeing Lin Mo's resolute attitude, the crew dared not say anything more and immediately began to take action.
They started up the small crane on the ship and secured the waterlogged wooden boat with cables.
Then it was slowly lifted off the water and finally slammed heavily onto the lower deck with a "bang".
The entire fishing boat shook violently because of this.
The crew members crowded around, curiously examining the large object that had just been pulled from the seabed.
"Boss, there's definitely something strange down under this ship!"
A sharp-eyed crew member quickly spotted the groove that Lin Mo had noticed.
He reached out and tapped the piece of wood that looked like a partition, making a dull "bang" sound.
"This area is completely sealed off!"
Another experienced veteran crew member leaned over and carefully examined the seam of the panel, his expression changing slightly.
"Something's wrong! Something's wrong with this ship!"
He pointed to the seam and said.
"Look, not only were nails used here, but it seems like they also sealed it with some kind of special adhesive!"
"It's not for repair at all; it's clearly designed to prevent anyone from opening it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present realized the problem.
Why would an ordinary fishing boat go to such lengths to install a completely sealed interlayer at the bottom of the hull?
There is only one answer.
There's something hidden inside that they don't want anyone to see!
"Holy crap! Could this be... a smuggling ship?"
"Is it gold bars or drugs hidden inside?"
"Could there be a corpse hidden there? I'm starting to panic!"
The viewers in the live stream, who had just been feeling listless, were now instantly filled with renewed curiosity, and the chat was flooded with all sorts of speculations.
Lin Side's eyes widened, and she nervously grabbed Lin Mo's sleeve, asking in a low voice.
"Brother...could there really be something terrifying in here?"
Lin Mo did not answer; his gaze was fixed on the mysterious barrier.
His intuition told him that the value of this ship far exceeded that of six thousand catties of fish!
"Big head!"
Lin Mo shouted in a deep voice.
"Hey there, boss!"
A dark-skinned crew member immediately stepped forward.
"Go, bring me the fire axe!"
"Okay!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Da Tou turned around and rushed into the cabin, quickly running out with a red fire axe gleaming coldly.
"Boss, here you go!"
Lin Mo took the axe, weighed it in his hand, and then handed it back to Da Tou.
He pointed to the edge of the barrier and gave a concise and clear command.
"Split it open!"
"yes!"
Big Head licked his lips, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
He gripped the axe handle tightly with both hands, raised it high above his head, and with all his might, chopped it down hard at the edge of the baffle!
"Snap—!"
A sharp, piercing sound of wood breaking rang out!
The wooden barrier, which had been submerged at the bottom of the sea for who knows how many years, cracked open with a huge gash!
However, before everyone could see what was happening inside, Big Head swung his axe a second time!
"Bang!"
This time, the entire baffle could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered into pieces!
Just as the barrier shattered, something unexpected happened!
Splash!
Countless fist-sized white cubes poured out wildly from the cleaved hole!
In just a few seconds, these white cubes covered the entire lower deck, piling up into a small mountain!
Everyone was stunned by the sudden scene before them.
They stared in disbelief at the white cubes scattered on the ground, their minds blank.
There were actually thousands of kilograms of ice hidden in the interlayer of this wrecked ship?
Big Head scratched the back of his head, stared blankly at Lin Mo, and asked a question that made everyone burst out laughing.
"Boss... these... these ice cubes, are they edible?"
