At that very moment, Luo Feng was preoccupied with using a vaporizer stove to prepare a meal.
Having grown accustomed to Luo Feng’s culinary talents, Lin Yueting, the spirited young lady aboard the vessel, had become somewhat selective in her tastes. The dishes prepared by the other crew members never quite appealed to her in the same way.
From time to time, she would tease, “Old Luo, when will you be cooking again? I’m eagerly waiting for your performance. ”
Of course, whenever Luo Feng had some free time, he was more than happy to indulge Lin Yueting’s whims. However, when other matters demanded his attention, it simply wasn’t possible.
After enjoying a hearty meal and while Lin Yueting was off gazing at the sea, Luo Feng stealthily reached for the long legs of Li Shishi, who was sitting beside him.
They both then retreated to the bedroom for a nap.
As for what transpired there, everyone knew all too well, and no one bothered to inquire.
An hour and a half passed quickly, and Luo Feng emerged from the bedroom to make his way to the deck, where he initiated a Level 10 scan.
Every day, he would scan the vast ocean, seeking any hidden treasures. It was an essential part of his routine.
If not for his esteemed reputation, scanning the boundless sea would have been a fruitless and thankless task.
After all, the ocean’s expanse was tremendous, dwarfing even the land.
Despite its vastness, there were only a few established maritime routes, planned meticulously through ancient wisdom. Many might wonder, “Isn’t it all just water? Why the need for specific routes?”
Like in the sky, where planes can fly freely, right?
Ha! Those ancient maritime routes were not devised without reason.
Certain areas were fraught with hidden dangers like rocks and reefs that could easily damage a ship’s hull. Others were notorious for strong winds and treacherous waves, posing their own unique threats.
The established routes were, naturally, the safest.
You might think you could navigate the sea without following these paths?
Certainly, you could try, but the risk would be incredibly high.
“Anything out there?” Luo Feng mused aloud.
Just as he activated the Level 10 scan, he spotted treasure markers three kilometers away.
The area was densely packed with these markers, and they were stationary. Luo Feng knew that they weren’t indicative of living creatures.
Had the markers been scattered, Luo Feng wouldn’t have even spared them a glance. But such a dense cluster caught his interest.
Could they be ancient merchant ships or even large modern warships?
“Head in that direction!” Luo Feng commanded, directing the crew to steer the ship toward the markers.
As they steadily advanced, within about ten minutes, they arrived above the designated area.
“Mr. Luo, have you discovered something?” the captain inquired, noticing Luo Feng’s entrance into the pilothouse.
“Heh, you guessed partly right. But don’t jump to conclusions just yet; I came here to ensure we’re positioned correctly!” Luo Feng responded, a playful smile on his face.
“Don’t be so mysterious, eh?” the captain chuckled. “Then Mr. Luo, let me take a wild guess. What’s down there?”
“No need to guess; I don’t know either!” Luo Feng laughed, as they hadn’t yet begun to retrieve anything.
Simply by looking at the distribution of treasure markers, he couldn’t discern what they might be.
“But through sonar scanning, we know it’s likely a sunken ship!” the captain’s words were intriguing, and he seemed to be teasing Luo Feng.
“Do you know what it specifically is?
“I don’t know that….’
“But we do know that the ship is at least 100 meters long!”
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng’s excitement broke free, and he abruptly stood up, exclaiming, “Let’s go take a look!”
After all, during his time at sea, Luo Feng hadn’t discovered any large ships. The more than one hundred sunken ships he had found previously were all smaller vessels.
Such a large ship, measuring around 130 meters, would be considered colossal even by modern standards.
To put it in perspective, the Experiment 1, their current vessel, was only sixty meters long. The sunken ship was more than twice that size.
A ship of this magnitude could easily accommodate over one hundred people, appearing as a leviathan in the vast sea.
However, Luo Feng was puzzled. How could such a large ship sink here without any information leaking out? It seemed quite odd. Even ancient warships would have left some trace…
Wait…
In ancient times, where would there have been such a grand vessel?
Unless it was something on the scale of Zheng He’s legendary voyages.
But those were exceedingly rare.
“I’ll go down and take a look!” Luo Feng finally decided, turning to Lin Yueting, “Old Lin, coming along?”
“Of course!” Lin Yueting nodded, her eyes sparkling. How could she miss such an exhilarating adventure?
“Alright, then we’ll take the submarine!”
“Ah? It’s that deep? We need a submarine?” Lin Yueting was taken aback. If the water wasn’t too deep, Luo Feng would usually just don an oxygen tank and dive himself.
“Yes, it’s extremely deep, almost 160 meters!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yueting felt a slight vertigo. It was indeed profound, and they would need a submarine, as the water pressure would be immense.
She understood that ordinary divers struggled to go deeper than ten or twenty meters.
Those who managed to dive a hundred meters were specially trained individuals.
The deeper the water, the higher the risk if something were to go wrong..
