‘It’s 10 hours…’
The Japanese cargo ship headed for the Anyongbok Seamount was a bulk carrier, and its maximum speed was about 30 km per hour.
Since the straight-line distance from the sea off Busan to the destination is just over 300 km, it will arrive in 10 hours.
I checked the current time.
It was 5 p.m.
We had to arrive at Anyongbok Mountain before 3:00 AM.
‘I won’t be able to use the ship.’
The departure time of the ship to Ulleungdo varies depending on the weather conditions, but one thing was certain: it did not depart at night.
So I will drive to Gangneung and from there take a jet ski to Anyongboksan Mountain.
Vureung-
I climbed into the sedan that had been shipped not long ago and started it.
I bought it as soon as I won money at the casino, but now it is in my hands.
At that time, I bought three SUVs, sedans, and sports cars together.
However, only SUVs that were in stock in Korea were available immediately, and the rest had to wait.
The sports car will have to wait another month to receive it.
“Boss, shall I drive?”
I smiled at Seoyeon Kim’s question.
“You are unlicensed.”
“I need to get my driver’s license later.”
The golems were foreigners of Nevis nationality.
However, foreigners can obtain a driver’s license in Korea if they have ‘foreigner residence registration’ after staying in Korea for more than 90 days.
From noble mtl dot com
through-
The garage door was open.
humming-
I drove the car out of the parking lot.
And headed to the nearest highway interchange.
While I was driving, Lee Seo-yoon, who was sitting in the back seat, was browsing the Internet looking at the designs of famous jewelry companies such as Tiffany, Bulgari, and Cartier.
And Kim Seo-yeon, who was in the passenger seat, was talking to James on the phone about purchasing a private plane.
After a while,
After the call, Kim Seo-yeon told me.
“Even if we order a jet right away, it will take three years to deliver.”
“3 years?! It’s taking too long! Should I buy a different model?”
“Other models are pretty much the same.”
Well, I still haven’t received the sports car I bought half a year ago, and it was only natural that the jet would take much longer than that.
“Still, three years is too long.”
“If you buy used, you can get it quickly. Most of the buyers of private jets are buying second-hand.”
Saving time is the number one goal for people looking to buy a private jet.
Busy people whose time is gold cannot wait three years to buy an airplane.
Most of them were buying used machines that could be used right away.
hmm-
But I hated buying what others had ridden.
At least the new one is good.
“Is there any other way?”
“If you buy an unpurchased jet, you can buy it a little faster.”
“What else is that?”
An ‘unpurchased jet’ was an airplane that someone had placed an order for and then gave up buying.
To put it simply, the person who ordered the plane was suddenly unable to pay the balance due to business difficulties, so the owner disappeared.
“That’s fine. After all, the body is brand new. Ask James to look that way.”
“All right.”
After Kim Seo-yeon called James, he reported the final result.
“There is an unpurchased jet that the boss wants. It takes a year to ship.”
Cars are also waiting for half a year to be delivered, but a year for a jet is good enough.
It would be good to prepare a ‘pilot golem’ before the jet is released.
“Okay, let’s do that.”
humming-
I arrived in Gangneung in 2 hours.
Then, after riding a jet ski for another 2 hours, we arrived at Anyongbok Mountain.
He reached his destination in 4 hours from home.
We had to wait another six hours for the cargo ship to arrive.
‘Did I come too soon?’
I waited for the cargo ship to arrive on the dark night sea.
**
Above the pitch-dark sea,
A ship stopped on top of the Anyongbok Seamount.
It was a cargo ship of Kobe Shipping that departed from Busan Port.
Today, the captain was not able to spread his spirit in the mission.
It was because there were two great people on board that even the executives of the shipping company were at a loss.
One was a yakuza executive and the other a treasure hunter.
The two were looking down at the lighted deck through the glass windows of the bridge.
Then the Yakuza spoke first.
“[Do you know why the boss sent me here?]”
“[well.]”
“[I’m a legend, so I don’t really believe in stuff like that. I’ll tell you in advance just in case, if there is no income today, it just ends there. No matter how much you use your tongue, I’m not the one who will pass you by.]”
Treasure hunter Suzuki smiled and replied to the Yakuza’s words.
“[Kaneda-san misunderstands me a lot, I’m not the talkative type.]”
chijik-
A voice came from the walkie-talkie in Suzuki’s hand.
＜Teacher! Can you hear me?＞
“say.”
＜Preparation to drop the relay unit has been completed.＞
Suzuki checked the equipment hanging from the deck crane through his telescope.
The equipment they will use for deep-sea exploration today was a ‘micro-semi-autonomous submersible’.
It was smaller than a rugby ball, so it could pass through narrow gaps and thoroughly search the inside of a sunken ship.
However, due to its small size, it had an unavoidable flaw.
It was the battery capacity.
Due to the small battery, the operation time was short, so it was not suitable for searching the deep sea.
Also, submersibles in the deep sea could not be controlled remotely using radio waves and light waves.
However, they solved both problems by using a ‘relay unit’.
ugh-
A crane lowered a large disc-shaped relay unit several meters in diameter to just below sea level.
Confirming that, Suzuki shouted into the walkie-talkie.
“[throwing down!]”
with a plop-
The relay unit was separated from the crane hook and sank into the sea.
At the same time, a large drum attached to the deck turned and the cable began to unwind.
It was a cable connected to the relay unit.
Through the cable, power was supplied to the relay unit and data could be exchanged.
After a while,
thud-
The cable drum stopped rotating.
The relay unit reached a depth of 1,000m.
＜Teacher! You have descended to the target point!＞
“[Drop the test machine!]”
At Suzuki’s command, someone on deck threw a submersible the size of a rugby ball into the sea.
with a plop-
The submersible sank below the surface of the sea with no power and only its weight.
And when we finally reached the depth of 1,000m,
pat-
The submersible’s headlights turned on.
And the propellers started turning.
The submersible moved back and forth and left and right and started taking pictures of the surroundings with the front and rear cameras.
Then, an image of the deep sea was reflected on the screen of the tablet Suzuki was holding.
Video data taken by a submersible was being transmitted to a repeater using an underwater short-distance data exchange technology using ultrasonic waves.
Then, the repeater transmits the video data to the ship through a wired cable, and finally to Suzuki’s tablet through Wi-Fi equipment.
After a while,
Video taken by a submersible shows the front of a Yamato-class battleship.
Then Suzuki ordered the captain.
“[Captain! Advance 300m in the direction of 65 degrees!]”
“[all right!]”
Instead of the helmsman, the captain turned the rudder and moved the ship.
Then, the relay unit was positioned exactly above the sinking ship.
belt-
A red LED lamp turned on in the submersible.
It needs to charge the battery.
Shuuk-
The submersible quickly moved toward the relay unit.
Then, it automatically docked with the unit and started charging.
With ultra-fast charging technology, the battery can be fully charged in 3 minutes.
After confirming that communication, charging, and all functions were normal, Suzuki gave orders to the deck.
“Drop the sub!”
with a plop-
with a plop-
Deck personnel then dropped dozens of submersibles into the sea.
.
.
.
Small submersibles searched inside the sunken ship.
Then, when the battery ran out, it was docked to the relay unit and charged.
Dozens of submersibles recharged and searched repeatedly, scouring the bridge and living quarters of the sunken ship.
And finally, I found a small box made of stone in the cabin right under the bridge.
Suzuki’s eyes shone intensely as the stone box was reflected on the tablet screen.
“[found!]”
jing-
A small robotic arm protrudes from a small submersible.
Suzuki looked at the tablet screen and moved the robot arm with the remote control.
It is intended to transport the stone box.
However, it was so heavy that one submersible could not carry it.
Shuuk-
Other submersibles nearby swarmed and clung to the vessel.
Shake-
Then the stone box moved.
‘good!’
Cold sweat ran down Suzuki’s forehead as he controlled the subs remotely.
Shuuk-
In the end, he managed to maneuver the submersibles to pull the stone ship out of the sinking ship.
Then, the stone box was placed in the storage box of the relay unit.
‘done!’
Suzuki shouted into the walkie-talkie with an excited expression.
“[Pull it up!]”
ugh-
The cable drum started spinning in the opposite direction.
After a while,
pooh-
The relay unit floated to the surface of the sea.
Then people lifted the relay unit onto the deck with a crane.
Suzuki ran and took the stone box out of the storage box.
hahahaha!
Holding a stone box in his hand, he had an expression as if he had accomplished everything in the world.
The yakuza next to him asked him with a slightly suspicious look.
“[Is that really a clue to Genghis Khan’s tomb?]”
“[Maybe we can find the tombs of not only Genghis Khan, but all of the previous khans. There is a high probability that they are all buried together in the same place.]”
What Suzuki was looking for was the ‘tomb of khans’.
Until now, numerous archaeologists and explorers have tried to find Khan’s tomb, but no one has found it.
It was because of the nomadic tradition of keeping the location of the tombs of their ancestors a strict secret.
Medieval European kings burned down their enemies’ palaces when they won a war.
If you don’t want to burn it, you can plant your own flag and own it.
However, nomadic people who lived a wandering life did not have a separate royal palace.
So, if you won a war between tribes, you dug up the enemy’s ‘ancestral grave’.
As a result, Mongolian tribal chiefs wanted to enshrine the remains of their ancestors in a place where no one could find them.
The descendants of Genghis Khan were no exception.
The workers who built the khan’s tomb were all killed by Mongolian soldiers.
And those soldiers were also killed by other soldiers.
***
I was looking down on the deck from the top bridge.
‘It was to find Khan’s grave.’
The golden statue found on the Yamato-class battleship was in the shape of a horse, so I thought it might be related to the Mongol Empire, but it was true.
The tombs of the Mongol emperors who built the largest empire in history,
The golden smell wafted up.
Now I know why the freighter guys put everything aside and searched the front of the ship.
It was because that small stone box in the hands of a treasure hunter was worth far more than 50 tons of gold.
Perhaps hundreds or thousands of tons of gold are sleeping in the ‘tombs of khans’.
hmm-
I figured out how to get my hands on the gold.
And came to the most reasonable conclusion.
‘Let’s just let them find it.’
Even with the latest equipment, they were looking for treasure like that, and there was no need for me to disturb them.
We’ll wait until they find the treasure and snatch it at the last minute.
‘To do that, I have to put on a tracking device.’
A treasure hunter entered the living quarters alone with a stone chest.
I used ＜Detection＞ to figure out his movements.
He entered the empty cabin.
‘good.’
I quietly headed to where he was.
