Chapter 416 Dragon Palace's Deep Sea Salvage
"In the afternoon, the director has approved it. The official document should be issued tomorrow. You two can start preparing a budget and plan and submit it."
Jian Hui’s answer made Yerui jump out of his seat with excitement. This was the first plan he proposed since joining TPC. It was still a big plan and it must be fun.
Although he was excited, Yerui did not forget his responsibilities. He tapped the keyboard with both hands to complete the rendering of the entire photo, making the extremely low-pixel photos clearer and able to see more details. , such as the identities of other people and what these people are doing.
However, the change brought about by the advancement of technology is automatic recognition. The photo has just become clear, and the program edited by Ye Rui has already completed the identification based on the TPC database and listed the identity information of the people present.
"The submersible in this photo is the Ryugu deep-sea submersible that the Marine Survey Team is preparing to decommission. The third person on the left is Director Qiao Iwama of the Marine Survey Team, and..."
Originally The pixels of the photo are extremely low, and after ten years, it is a surprise that it can be restored. Even after processing, it is not as good as the original photo, so even though there are so many people in the photo, only half of them can be recognized. .
But what is puzzling is that among the people standing around the box in the photo, the five people in the first row are either dead or missing. In short, none of them can be found.
If it’s anything else, that’s it. There are so many people missing and dying every year. It doesn’t matter if they happen to be in one photo. But the key is that there is a guy in this photo who is not a human being - Banqiao. Mitsuo.
It is necessary to figure out why he appears in the photo, what is in the box that was watched by everyone, and why all the obviously important people standing in the first row are missing.
"I'm going to see Director Iwama Qiao." Megumi said and walked quickly out the door. Although there was no evidence, she had a vague feeling in her heart that Mitsuo Itabashi was in the photo ten years ago. He is already a Kyriarodite, and the contents of the box are important to him.
"I'll go too." Zongfang followed immediately, and turned around and told the three of them to be on standby in the command room and contact them immediately if anything happens.
In the warehouse of the TPC Ocean Survey Class, a solemn and solemn decommissioning ceremony is being held for the deep-sea submersible 'Ryuugong' that has served for more than ten years. All tests and trials of the deep-sea submersible Dolphin are being held. It has ended and has officially entered the TPC sequence. In addition, deep-sea surveys have gradually transitioned to unmanned submersibles, and the old submersibles will be retired from active service.
Although they were anxious, Munakata and Megumi did not interrupt the ceremony. They stood aside and quietly looked at the deep-sea submersible, which was exactly the same as in the photo.
At the end of the ceremony, Director Iwama Qiao of the Marine Survey Class walked over quickly, with a little sadness and nostalgia on his face. He had not yet come out of the ceremony, and said: "I'm really sorry for letting you Long wait.”
"It's us who should be sorry. We took the liberty of visiting. I hope I didn't disturb you." Zongfang bowed slightly and expressed his apology.
After a few simple greetings, Director Iwama Qiao invited the captain and deputy captain of the victory team to sit in the reception room. As soon as the door was closed, Megumi took out the PDI and showed the above photo to Iwama Qiao. The director looked at it and asked: "Director Iwama, do you still have an impression of this?" Qiao Iwama just glanced at it and recognized it, nodded and said: "This photo should be Not long after I joined the company, I followed my seniors on the company's newly developed deep-sea submersible to a group of underwater ruins in the South Pacific called Dragon Palace by local fishermen. We performed a salvage mission and created a new deep-sea submersible for the company. record, and therefore the submersible was named 'Dragon Palace' according to convention. "
Deep sea salvage mission!
Zongfang and Hui Jian looked at each other and asked, "Is it convenient to tell you who the client is and is there any entrusted task?"
"It's nothing inconvenient. It's been such a long time and the company has been dissolved long ago. Is there anything else that can't be said?" Although Iwama Qiao didn't know why the victory team suddenly inquired about the private commercial deal ten years ago. Salvage, but it must be an important matter, otherwise the two captains would not have arrived together and found a photo that he had almost forgotten.
After a few words, Iwama Joe began his recollection:
At that time, he had just retired from the submarine force and was introduced to a deep-sea company that was very famous in the world. He worked for a salvage company. Not long after passing the training, the company received a very challenging task, to go to the South Pacific, on the seabed between the Cremos Islands and New Caledonia, to a thousand meters. Depth, salvaging satellite debris.
The information provided by the employer is very detailed, not only the coordinates and depth, but also a sketch of the salvage target, so you only need to go there, follow the diagram to find the 'satellite fragments', then put them in a protective box and bring them back to the sea. can complete this rewarding task.
Iwama Joe's words confirmed Megumi's unfounded feeling when he was in the command room. The contents of the box were indeed very important to the Kirialod people. He quickly asked: "So, what else do you want?" Do you remember what the salvaged items looked like? ”
"Well," Joe Iwama tried hard to remember, holding a pencil to describe the appearance of the object he remembered on the paper: "It is a disk, about seventy centimeters in diameter, less than ten centimeters thick, and there are patterns and symbols on it. I don’t understand the words, I’m sorry, I only remember a few, but I really can’t remember what the others are like.”< br>
It took Qiao Iwama more than ten minutes and several sheets of paper to finally draw a disk that was similar to the one in his memory. He picked it up and looked at it again, nodded and said: " That's right. It doesn't look like satellite debris at all, or even modern things, but"
Mediation He passed the paper and looked at the disk carefully, and Munakata hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Iwama Qiao had a puzzled look on his face and said: "Katsumi was driving the submersible at that time. Sir, it was he who took over this salvage task. He didn’t let us talk nonsense after he came back. All the salvage records were posted by him. He handed it over to the company, but he disappeared not long after the salvage mission. The police did not find any clues and just disappeared."
Although Megumi and Munakata tried their best to restrain themselves, they heard that. At this point, there was still a strange look on his face, because it was not just one person who was missing, but four other people.
Their expressions caught Joe Iwama's eye, and he asked: "That's all I know, so...if it doesn't violate the confidentiality regulations, can you tell me why the victory team is investigating this matter?"< br>
