Lu Ao and the others brought photos of the sunken ship, and everyone was very excited.

After seeing the relevant photos, the leading professor of the archaeological expert team was so excited that he wiped his eyes repeatedly, "This is the ship. The bottom must be the ship we are looking for. Look at this arc, and then look at the wood grain.

It must be a ship."

His team members came over to identify it carefully, and for a while they felt that the sunken ship was underneath.

The professor chattered a few words and then turned to Lu Ao: "Xiao Lu, you have made great contributions! When a museum is built in the future, your name will be recorded in history!"

Lu Ao waved his hands tiredly, "It's nothing."

"Hahaha, don't be modest. Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. If you can lead everyone to find the sunken ship, that's great!"

The old professor was very high-spirited and asked the young soldier next to him, "Has the submersible been debugged? I'll go down and see for myself what's going on with this ship."

The little soldier hurriedly said: "You are old, so let us go."

"I have been walking in the fields all year round, and my health is better than yours. I won't be in trouble."

Captain Gu walked over quickly and said from the side: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't get in the way, I'd better let them young people go down and explore first."

The professor said: "How can this be ridiculous? Since I'm here for inspection, I must lead the team to have a look in person. Otherwise, if I just look at the photos and don't know anything, how can I have the shame to say that I am in charge of this work?"

Lu Ao heard them coming and going and said from the side: "I'm going to eat first."

Captain Gu slapped his thigh and said, "Look at me, I was so excited that I forgot that you haven't had lunch yet. Come on, come on, the celebration banquet is ready for you."

Not only Lu Ao, but also Xiang Xingchang and the others didn't eat either. They were all so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs.

Captain Gu had to take charge of the work and could not accompany them to dinner. He could only ask the kitchen to prepare delicious food for them.

When the food arrived, it was all solid hard food. The few of them didn't say anything. They ate until they were 80% full before they could talk.

Xiang Xingchang poured the wine and wanted to drink it.

Lu Ao waved her hand and refused, "I'm going to sail back later, so I won't drink."

Lao Wen next to him was surprised, "Hey, are you going back later? There is still a lot of follow-up salvage work."

Lu Ao shook his head, "The ship has been found. You don't need me anymore. You can stay here to salvage it. I will go back first."

"Don't go!" Lao Wen said, "Your diving skills are really good. We have met a lot of people. I dare say that there are not many people in China who dare to recognize you as number two and number one. You have to stay."

, it will definitely be of great help, and there will also be commendation work in the follow-up, so it is not a bad thing to leave a good impression on the superiors."

Lao Wen only thought that he was young and energetic and did not want to deal with government departments.

Lu Ao, however, had made up his mind and did not want to affect humans too much.

Xiang Xingchang understood him a little bit from the side, "Yes, a person of your ability will rely on his ability wherever he goes. No matter what project he joins at any time, he will definitely be very popular. Whether the interpersonal relationship is good or not, for you guys

For a genius like this, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Lu Ao shook his head, "That's not the case. I'm not a genius. I'm just a little homesick. I didn't report to my family when I stayed here yesterday. If I stay here again, he will be worried."

"Speaking of this matter, we said before that you are really strict in your words. You didn't tell us when you got married. What's the matter? Are you afraid that we won't give you any gift money?"

Although Xiang Xingchang said this with an element of joking, he was also somewhat serious. He really regarded Lu Ao as a friend, and he felt a little uncomfortable knowing that he didn't invite him to his wedding.

Lu Ao shook his head and did not avoid them, "I didn't get a license and didn't serve any drinks. I'm a man."

Several people present were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and then looked up at Lu Ao.

Lu Ao pretended that he didn't notice anything, lowered his head and concentrated on eating.

After a long while, Xiang Xingchang took the lead and said: "If you like men, I wish you well! I haven't seen many same-sex couples around me who can get together. It's more difficult for you than ordinary people. Come, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine.

."

Lu Ao: "Thank you."

He drank this cup of tea happily.

Lao Wen was a little annoyed, "It turns out you really like men. When we were diving together, someone in the team said he liked you. When he wanted to tell you, I was afraid he would get beaten."

Lu Ao: "I have known my lover for a long time, even before I went on a mission with you."

"So it doesn't matter whether that kid expresses his feelings or not?"

"No chance."

"Hahaha, I will tell him when I have a chance to drink with him in the future."

It wasn't a big deal that Lu Ao liked men. Everyone just made some friendly jokes and changed the subject.

There are also many interesting things happening in the diving community. We sometimes meet up in certain sea areas to go diving, and we also talk about topics such as marine protection.

Lu Ao's appetite was much larger than that of ordinary people. While he was still eating, everyone else on the table had finished eating and was just sitting there chatting.

He listened nearby and heard a lot of interesting news.

After eating, Xiang Xingchang and others were very tired and wanted to go back to the cabin to rest.

Lu Ao wanted to sail back to the town.

He went out to talk to the group leader. Gu group leader felt very sorry for him and tried to persuade him to stay several times. Seeing that he had already decided to leave, he had no choice but to agree, "Then you go back first. If we encounter any difficulties here, we still have to go back."

Please come over and help me."

"I'll help whatever I can, but I guess there won't be any problems here."

"That's not certain. It's safer if you are willing to help." Captain Gu said, "You can sail back alone, how about I find someone to take you back?"

"No, I'm familiar with the boat. It's very troublesome to send it back and forth, so let's leave it at that."

Lu Ao went to talk to Xiao Du again.

Xiao Du was also reluctant to let him go, but Xiao Du was a small police officer and had no role to speak on the ship, so he could only reluctantly make an appointment with Lu Ao to drink together next time.

Lu Ao agreed.

He took the dinghy back to his boat, and without taking a nap, he sailed directly to their Shuiyuan town.

The big boat is still faster than the small boat. It only took him more than two hours to sail from Jasmine Island to Shuiyuan Town. When he returned to the town, it was only after five o'clock and it was not dark yet.

Lu Ao drove the boat to the pier in the town.

A manager nearby saw him coming back with a big boat, so he came over and asked the boat from a distance: "How long will your boat stay here?"

Lu Ao stood on the deck and answered: "It may be berthed for a long time. How to calculate the management fee here?"

"You are a medium-sized fishing boat, right? What's the length and width, and what's the power? Where's your certificate of competency? You need to complete the information, and we'll see how the berthing management fee for this boat is calculated."

When Lu Ao heard this, he didn't say much. He lowered the anchor and parked the boat, then went to the back of the boat to untie the boat and rowed the boat back to the shore.

His boat is a medium-sized fishing boat with a relatively deep draft. It must be parked some distance away from the shore, otherwise it will run aground when the tide goes out.

Back on shore, he tied up the boat.

The manager was waiting for him and asked: "Young man, are you from Chongxin Village?"

"how do you know?"

"Hey, let me tell you, it must be you! The town has spread the news that you bought a big boat and came back." The uncle handed him the cigarette and asked with a smile: "Will this boat be parked here for a long time in the future?"

"You still have to see if it fits. If it does, it'll be fine."

The implication is that if it's convenient, we'll definitely stop here. If it's not, we'll have to find another place.

After hearing this, the uncle led him forward, leading the way with his hands behind his back, "Come on, come on, let's go to the house to chat first."

Lu Ao was not polite either.

The uncle first squinted his eyes and read his certificate of competency, and then read the information about his ship. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his ship, he became more enthusiastic.

"You can just park your ship here. The conditions of our port are pretty good and it is famous in several nearby towns. You can register it first."

“How is the management fee calculated?”

"Those small fishing boats parked here cost two hundred a month. Your boat is too big, and it's difficult to manage it if it's parked here. According to our regulations, it's about one thousand a month."

"One thousand is too expensive, eight hundred."

"It's not expensive. For a ship as big as yours, if it were parked somewhere else, it would be difficult if a few thieves came and sneaked onto your ship, stole things or caused damage.

.When you park your car with us, in addition to the good port conditions and the convenience of driving in and out, we will also help take care of it."

"That's too expensive." Lu Ao said, "If it costs a thousand a month, I might as well stop back in the village."

"Your village doesn't even have a port. Once it's stranded, how much damage will it do to the ship? You've bought dozens or even millions of ships, and you're still afraid of paying the thousands or eight hundred berthing management fees? We have twenty-four people outside.

The surveillance is turned on every hour, ensuring safety."

"Eight hundred a month, nine thousand six a year, nearly ten thousand yuan, not a lot."

Lu Ao insisted on eight hundred a month and would not let go. No matter how hard the administrator tried, he never agreed.

In the end, the uncle had no choice but to sigh and said: "Okay, eight hundred a month is eight hundred. You really know how to do business."

Lu Ao said: "Buying a boat is easier than maintaining it. After spending so much money, I have to live frugally and tighten my belt. Of course I can't spend more."

The uncle chuckled and said, "Hey, I believe what others say, but I don't believe it when you say this. How much money can you make from fishing in a day?"

Lu Ao shook his head and did not answer.
