v2 Chapter 234： Return to Nassau (1/2)

After distributing food and fresh water to the island's survivors, Zhang Heng also focused on salvaging gold.

There is not much time left for them. The navy side agreed to rejoin at Parrot Island after two weeks. Now most of the time has passed, and there are about five days left, but in fact it is impossible for the navy side to take it. So accurate, usually come back a day or two in advance.

Therefore, the time allowed for the Jackdaw to carry gold is only about three or four days, and the issue of leaving after the gold is moved must be taken into account as far as possible from the returning navy. This also requires time. Last night, Zhang Heng and they actually only had about two days of safe salvage.

However, the good news is that the Kent, which had nothing to do outside the port, was also thinking about the issue of salvaging gold. The carpenters on board also produced a set of salvage tools.

The structure is actually very simple, that is, to improve the claw hook, add two more hooks, tie the front end with a short rope, and form a triangle with the previous hook, increasing stability, so that the box can be hooked from the bottom of the sea , Of course, even with this tool, people still need to go to the sea to hook the hook on the gold box.

Walden originally intended to force the rest of the pirates on the island to force them into the water to do the job, but Zhang must not be able to do this, and asked the carpenter Guy on the boat, ”How is it, is it difficult? ”

”In terms of imitation, there is actually no difficulty. They have already measured the size. Just follow the instructions. There are many claw hooks on the boat. I can deliver ten more sets before sunset.”

”I picked the salvaged people,” Difraina said on the other side, ”both Jackdaws have the best water, but even the most powerful of them can't stay too long underwater. The people under it couldn't even swim to the box. ”

”That's because they wasted too much energy and oxygen on the way.” Zhang Hengdao, ”Everyone hold a stone when diving, so that they can sink directly to the bottom of the sea without any effort, and on the waist Also tie a cable, set the time, and catch people at the point, so that the time saved can be used to install the claw hooks. ”

As for the problem of pressure, Zhang Heng has no good way. He can only let the diving person overcome it. Fortunately, the depth of 20 meters is not too serious for the body. Adverse reactions will definitely occur, but they should be returned. Not to die, of course, the people responsible for salvaging must also have corresponding rewards to stimulate their enthusiasm.

However, these details were passed to Billy and Difraina for discussion. The quartermaster nodded when he heard the words. He first sent someone to do a test. With the successful delivery of the first case of gold, it also confirmed the method. Feasibility, followed by perfect and repetitive work. By the next night, Jackdaw had successfully picked up most of its gold.

However, the salvage work was also in trouble afterwards. The Spanish treasure ship was quite sturdy and was sunk after many rounds of artillery. However, it was inevitable that the warehouse was also severely shelled and the boxes of gold Almost moved, the rest is gold bars scattered all over the place.
