Chapter 98 Still Couldn't Configure

Liu Yong urgently needs money, specifically for his company, Universal.

His plan for the company's subsequent development involves building a fleet of large oil tankers, preferably 100,000 tons or more, to transport crude oil.

This would require significant money as the current market price for such tankers is several hundred million each.

To acquire the necessary funds, Liu Yong is interested in finding a valuable ancient shipwreck that contains antiques, gold, and silver.

Bawang, who is assisting him in the search, informs Liu Yong that he has located a potential sunken ship in the area.

Liu Yong communicates with Bawang and instructs him to investigate further.

As Bawang searches the seabed, he faces obstacles such as the complex terrain, including large rocks and small hills, which the giant shark they encountered earlier intended to use to evade their pursuit.

However, Liu Yong can observe the seabed clearly through a third-party vision, which is not affected by the darkness of the depths.

Bawang eventually discovers a sunken ship that Liu Yong confirms to be the one they are looking for.

The vessel is of interest to Liu Yong as it may contain the valuable treasures he seeks, and he eagerly awaits the further exploration of the site.

The ship lay at the bottom of the sea, its hull covered in thick deposits of rust and corrosion.

Liu Yong had hoped for an ancient shipwreck, something more like a large wooden ship, so he was a little disappointed when he saw that it was a modern steel shipwreck of around a thousand tons.

Despite his disappointment, he wondered what valuable items could be found on it.

"Wow, this is a modern shipwreck," Liu Yong said with a delightful expression.

"I was hoping for something a bit more exciting."

"It's still worth checking out," Bawang replied optimistically.

Overlord suggested he could dismantle the ship with his giant spear, but Liu Yong hesitated.

He knew that modern steel structures would be difficult to take apart.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Overlord," Liu Yong said.

"If it's a wooden shipwreck, you can disassemble it in minutes, but this steel structure is too complex."

"Let me try, Master," Overlord insisted. "I'm sure I can make some progress."

With Liu Yong's consent, Overlord began dismantling the ship with his spear, creating a large hole. He tried to smash, poke, pry, and claw at the structure, but progress could have been faster.

After half an hour of trying, Liu Yong saw that this approach could have been more efficient and could potentially damage any valuable items inside.

"Overlord, stop, it's not a good way to dismantle it like this, let me think about it," Liu Yong said, seeing that the violent dismantling might cause more harm than good.

Bawang offered to watch the sunken ship while they figured out a better approach.

"Master, I will wait for your news," Bawang said. "I have been active in this sea area for the past few days, and I will help you look at this sunken ship by the way."

"Okay, then you stay in this area. I have to come up with a good way,"

Liu Yong said, determined to find a more effective strategy to uncover any valuable treasures it might hold.

Even though it was just a contemporary shipwreck, Liu Yong was not ready to abandon the possibility of discovering valuable items on board.

He had finally found such a ship and couldn't bear letting go. The Overlord was too large to enter the sunken vessel and explore it.

However, Liu Yong was undeterred. He expressed his willingness to dive and explore the sunken ship.

"I can do it. Would you like me to enter the water and take a look?" he offered.

Despite his enthusiasm, some challenges needed to be addressed before Liu Yong could proceed with the exploration.

The water depth of the sunken ship was six to seven hundred meters, which could subject him to tremendous water pressure.

The pitch-black seabed made seeing anything, even one's fingers, impossible. With the Overlord stationed outside the sunken ship, he could use a third-party vision to explore the ship's interior.

However, if the Overlord stayed outside, the third-party vision would be useless to him, and he would have to rely on his own eyes.

Furthermore, the interior of the sunken ship was also pitch black, and the situation inside could be more complicated than anticipated. He would need a light source to navigate his way through the vessel.

After careful consideration, Liu Yong concluded that he would have to explore the sunken ship, despite the risks involved.

However, he understood that specific preparations needed to be made before he could dive to a depth of six or seven hundred meters.

Upon his return to Huahai City that evening, the salvage ship docked, and the crew returned to the company.

Liu Yong's first order of business was to call Qiu Yang to his office.

"Boss, you arrived at the company so soon,"

Qiu Yang remarked as he walked into the room.

It was just after noon, and the salvage ship had only been docked for a little over an hour. Liu Yong, the ship's owner, had just arrived at the company instead of going home to rest.

Qiu Yang immediately greeted him, who was overjoyed to see his boss back so soon. Qiu Yang couldn't help but ask,

"Boss, how will you spend the 300 million dollars?"

Liu Yong's reply was calm and collected, "The money will be primarily used to expand our company's scale and enhance its strength. Additionally, I'm considering purchasing a few large oil tankers."

Qiu Yang was relieved to hear his boss's plan and nodded eagerly in agreement.

However, Liu Yong had another request for Qiu Yang. He needed a flashlight for deep-sea diving that could withstand seawater pressure at 800 meters.

Qiu Yang was stunned. Eight hundred meters of water pressure was no joke! Nevertheless, he promised to contact a professional manufacturer immediately and ensure delivery speed.

Liu Yong knew he needed a special diving flashlight or deep-water light source to explore the sunken ship.

He had already done his research and knew that the compression depth of ordinary diving flashlights was only one or two hundred meters, which needed to be more.

He needed a durable, bulky light source that could help him see the pitch-black interior of the sunken ship.

As Qiu Yang rushed off to handle his boss's request, Liu Yong couldn't help but feel impatient. He had already waited so long to explore the sunken ship and couldn't wait any longer.

He hoped that the manufacturer would come up with a solution quickly so he could get his hands on the flashlight and dive into the depths of the sea to uncover whatever valuable things the sunken ship held.
