Chapter 30 Super Difficult Salvage
When the commander heard Guan Hao say that the salvage was found, his frown brow finally stretched out.
Commander Sun Zhiyong excitedly held Guan Hao's hand: "Little comrade, good looks!"
Pete, a Saxon man on the side, also hugged Guan Hao, and said with excitement and apologies: "Hao, I'm sorry, I sincerely apologize to you and your partners for my prejudice!"
"You are the most professional and dedicated diving team I have ever met, and I salute you!"
"Thank you!" Guan Hao held Pitt's hand.
.........
"Commander, the underwater situation changes rapidly. The marks made by Guan Hao will soon be destroyed by the currents. It will be even more difficult to search at that time. Now the most urgent task is to come up with a salvage plan as soon as possible." Captain Li Wenming said urgently.
"Yes, the silt layer under the sea is too thick, and undercurrents will soon be submerged. Time is very urgent."
"Then it's not too late to discuss the salvage plan. All units must strictly and fully support the rescue and salvage team." The commander announced to everyone firmly.
At this time, a staff member had already taken out the floor plan of the positioning unit.
Everyone started to study.
At present, the oil drilling platform is still in the sea trial stage, and the underwater engineering personnel are still in the state of formation and training. It will take some time for diving engineers to stand alone. If they have to face the current danger, they will need to send additional personnel and invest considerable resources.
Obviously, the salvage work can only be completed by the rescue team of the Suicheng Diving School.
Under normal circumstances, oil drilling platforms need to be equipped with deep-sea pressure tanks, and saturated diving should be used for underwater operations exceeding 100 meters. Due to insufficient experience, the platform command center was caught off guard in the face of this sudden typhoon accident.
I believe that after this accident, the platform command center should step up the construction of underwater engineering personnel and emergency equipment!
Time passed slowly. After discussion and analysis from multiple parties, the salvage plan was obtained: the three remaining rescue teams who could dive, Li Wenming, Song Yuanzheng and Guan Hao, all of them were dispatched to dive to the bottom of the sea. Li Wenming and Song Yuanzheng had rich experience in underwater welding. They first dive down and weld the hoisting handle, and wait until the welding of the gripper is completed. Then Guan Hao took the crane hook on the two platforms and installed the hook. After Guan Hao issued the lifting command, the crane began to adjust and salvage.
Li Wenming and Song Yuanzheng only need to be welded and can be returned to the platform after the welding is completed, while Guan Hao needs to pay close attention to the starting and adjustment of the positioning unit and dive out with the salvaged items.
Relatively speaking, Guan Hao’s mission is more challenging and dangerous.
Fortunately, the foreign party was equipped with underwater welding equipment. Li Wenming and Song Yuanzheng dived down to the bottom of the sea along Guan Hao's safety rope, and they each welded one end.
The entire welding work went very smoothly. After all, the positioning unit weighed 2 tons and the tension force to bear is also quite large. The welding must be carefully and firm, and it is necessary to ensure that one hoisting is successful.
The welding took a total of 20 minutes. Li Wenming checked the welding parts twice, and after confirming that the platform was successful, he gave the platform a signal of success.
After these established tasks are completed, they will be continued, and Guan Hao will dive with the hook and steel rope.
During the more than 20 minutes of Li Wenming and Song Yuanzheng diving, Guan Hao carefully checked his equipment. This time, in order to ensure sufficient diving time, Guan Hao also carried two cans of gas cylinders.
With his own equipment load and two steel cables with a diameter of more than 40 cm, Guan Hao's load has exceeded the standard.
The underwater signal has been received, and it’s time for Guan Hao to take the stage.
Guan Hao looked at the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms on his wrist. The time was exactly: 22:30. He expected that the dive time this time would be more than an hour.
Out of instinct, Guan Hao also looked at Cao Wan who had been by her side, and also looked at the red strap of Blancpain Fifty Fathoms on her wrist.
"Wan'er, don't worry about me! Wait for me to come back!"
Cao Wan looked at Guan Hao affectionately, and she was already in tears. At this time, the two of them just silently looked at each other's other words, which was unnecessary.
"Xiao Guan, good! Come on! We'll wait for you to come back!"
"Closing, come on!"
....
Guan Hao was sent off the diving rack like a liu.
Isn’t it just an hour of diving? How can it be like separation from life and death?
Guan Hao slowly dived down with his equipment and two hooks.
This kind of scuba diving with high weight bearing without professional protective measures is very dangerous.
It took 19 minutes to dive onto the salvage with two steel ropes as thick as wrists. After a brief conversation, the three of them began to install hooks.
After the three of them installed the hook, Li Wenming and Song Yuanzheng had not much oxygen left, so they had to dive to the platform.
Guan Hao can only face the next link alone.
After Guan Hao checks the hook to confirm that it is correct, he issues an order that can dive.
This is the most dangerous. If the unhooked or welding handle is not firm, the steel rope will break, and the steel rope may sweep to the diver.
The kinetic energy of the tight steel cable can immediately kill the diver.
Fortunately, everything was normal. Seeing the positioning unit slowly rising, Guan Hao's nervous heart was slowly relaxed, but now is not the time to completely relax. The underwater situation changes rapidly, and the visibility is almost zero. Any situation may occur and you cannot take it lightly.
Lifting a 2-ton object from the deep sea more than 120 meters is faster than a person, so Guan Hao could only dive with the salvaged items at the same speed.
For a full 70 minutes, Guan Hao and the salvaged items came out of water.
The platform was crowded with people, and everyone spontaneously applauded Guan Hao, and many young people were cheering.
This thunderous applause and cheer should belong to Guan Hao, and also to the heroic Suicheng Diving School rescue team.
"Xiaoguan, it's amazing. On behalf of Nanyou No. 3, I would like to work in our offshore oil department?"
"Thank you, Commander! I'm just a second-year high school student now. I'll talk about my work after I finish college!" Guan Hao said embarrassedly with a grimace.
"Of course, if you want to thank our school rescue team for this rescue, please reward other members of our team, right? Our captain and deputy captain also have two coaches who need treatment. They need help and rewards more than me."
"Xiao Guan, you are not good! You are not greedy for merit and think about the organization before doing things. You are a good seedling!"
"Commander, you are over-reputable! I have another suggestion. Our oil drilling platform has just been built. Everything is difficult at the beginning. There should be many underwater construction projects. You see, we have established a cooperative project with our Suicheng Diving School. In the future, our school will do the training of underwater projects. Graduates from our school can also recommend it to the National Oil Corporation. This is also a requirement for each person, and it is a real win-win situation!"
"Haha! This proposal is very good! I see that you, Xiaoguan, are considering your school everywhere! I promise you that you will immediately arrange to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with your school."
"Do you have any personal requirements? Just ask now? As long as I do not violate the principles, I can agree to you."
"Thank you, Commander! I have no requirements for it personally."
Chapter completed!
