After making preparations for exploration, it does not mean that work can start directly, as there are a series of preparatory tasks to be done for underwater adventure in a foreign country.
Firstly, there are things related to ships, equipment, and personnel. In the other world, the Fisher family mobilized two 90-foot ships, a smaller search ship, as well as scanning equipment and 25 staff.
As for the money issue, Leonard is not worried, but it takes some time to prepare for such many people and equipment from scratch.
After all, Leonard's previous excavation work basically involved only one or two people, and he never conducted large-scale excavation, let alone complicated underwater excavation work.
Although it is not difficult for him to gather these things with his money and connections, it is not that easy to collect them all in a short period of time.
