“Steven, it’s not that we haven’t suspected Discovery Point Cliff. We’ve taken helicopters to explore this cliff more than once before, but found nothing!
There is no cave at all on this cliff. How could Captain Thompson and the others hide the Lima treasure here? Is your treasure map also fake? “
Professor Delgado said in confusion, even a little disappointed in his eyes.
In his opinion, this joint exploration operation may fail, and everyone will get nothing and their hard work will be in vain, just like the previous operations to find the Lima treasure!
Ye Tian glanced at the historian, then said with a smile:
“Professor Delgado, the treasure map of the Lima Treasures in my hand is undoubtedly true. I am very sure about this, and I will soon provide strong proof.
Everyone has a lot of questions in their mind, and they are all doubting the authenticity of this treasure location. Next, I will answer these questions one by one, so please be patient and listen! “
“Okay, Steven, we’re all ears”
Everyone responded in unison, looking at Ye Tian expectantly.
Afterwards, Ye Tian began to answer questions.
“Continuing with the topic just now, let’s first talk about the exact hiding place of the Lima Treasure on the cliff of Discovery Point. You must have heard the sound of the waterfall. The sound is really beautiful!
The Discovery Point Cliff Falls is one of the largest waterfalls on Cocos Island, and it is also the waterfall with the largest drop. It falls straight to the sea from the top of the Discovery Point Cliff, reaching a height of more than 180 meters. It is very spectacular!
The cave hiding Lima’s treasures is just behind the Discovery Point Cliff Falls. It is located in the middle of the cliff, more than 80 meters from the top of the cliff and more than 100 meters from the sea. It is perfectly covered by the waterfall.
Although Cocos Island is small, it is covered with tropical rainforests and has very abundant rainfall. The average annual rainfall is as high as 25 feet. There are many waterfalls, and there are even more than 70 waterfalls during the peak period of the rainy season!
It is precisely because of the rich fresh water resources that the famous pirates chose this place as a supply station. Coupled with the complex and changeable terrain here, they regarded it as an ideal place to bury gold and silver treasures!
The Discovery Point Cliff Falls, which originates from the main peak of Mount Jimenez and flows through a large area of tropical rain forest, has an unusually large amount of water. Even in the dry season, it probably never stops flowing. Anyway, I have never seen relevant records.
In this way, the cave hidden behind the waterfall is naturally impossible to be discovered. Even if you fly a helicopter to the waterfall to observe, it is probably difficult to find any clues, and you have to be cautious!
How Captain Thompson discovered this cave hidden behind the waterfall, I don’t know. I can guess that maybe he was very lucky and found the cave when the waterfall stopped flowing!
There is also another possibility. Someone among his pirates happened to know the existence of this hidden cave and told Captain Thompson, so this became an ideal place to hide Lima’s treasure! “
“That cave is actually hidden behind the waterfall. It’s so secret! No wonder we didn’t discover it. Without a real treasure map, no one would have discovered it!”
Professor Delgado said with emotion, a look of regret flashing in his eyes.
Other Costa Ricans are all the same. Everyone feels a little regretful, but there is nothing they can do about it.
If our country had discovered this cave earlier, the Lima treasure would belong entirely to Costa Rica, and that would be because of this guy Steven!
What a good thing now, I can only stretch my neck to be slaughtered! I watched helplessly as Steven, a ruthless guy, swung his machete and cut off half of the Lima treasure. I felt heartbroken, but there was nothing I could do.
That is gold and silver treasure worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. Thinking about it makes people heartbroken. Who can give it up?
“Even if Captain Thompson and the others were lucky enough to catch the rare dry season at Discovery Point Cliff Falls, how did they transport the Lima treasure into that cave?
You know, the cave behind the waterfall is more than 80 meters away from the top of the cliff, and the terrain is extremely steep. A hundred or two hundred years ago, this was an almost impossible task!
The distance from Weaver Bay to here is not very short. It traverses the entire island. Not only is the terrain undulating along the way, but it is also full of dangers. It must not be easy to transport the Lima treasure here!
Taking these factors into consideration, it seems that Captain Thompson and the others do not necessarily have to choose this place to hide the Lima treasure in this cave! The project is really huge! It’s too much trouble!
Everyone knows that since killing the Spanish governor and seizing the treasure of Lima, Captain Thompson and his gang have become the target of public criticism and the targets of countless pursuits.
Based on Captain Thompson’s situation at the time, they probably would not dare to stay on Cocos Island for a long time and hide the Lima treasure calmly. For them, escape is the first priority! “
Professor Douglas then asked, his eyes full of confusion.
This is also the answer to the question that everyone wants to know. When Douglas asked, everyone immediately looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.
Ye Tian glanced at everyone, then chuckled and said:
“You can imagine, if it is confirmed that this mysterious and unusual cave does exist, would Captain Thompson and his gang of pirates still care about whether the waterfall has stopped flowing and whether it is a dry season?
This is a tropical rainforest, with trees and dead branches everywhere. With very little effort, they can temporarily change the flow direction of the stream on the top of the cliff and let the waterfall rush out of the cliff from somewhere else!
After they transport all the Lima treasures into the cave and hide them, they can restore the stream to its original shape and let the waterfall pour down from its original position, perfectly covering the cave behind the waterfall.”
“Yes, it’s not difficult to do, and it doesn’t take much time”
Professor Douglas nodded and agreed with Ye Tian’s explanation.
The others nodded frequently without any objection.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
“Similarly, after confirming that this cave does exist, there is no need for Captain Thompson and the others to carry boxes filled with gold and silver treasures over the mountains and trudge here!
Without a doubt, that is the stupidest way! Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it also poses a huge safety risk. Anyone with some brains would definitely not do such a stupid thing.
Captain Thompson only needs to take a few men and necessary equipment, land at Weaver Bay, quickly drive through the island’s rainforest, and head here! No need to bring any treasures!
After they reach Discovery Point, change the direction of the stream, and determine the location of the cave, they can send a signal to have their pirate ship bypass Cocos Island and sail to Discovery Point.
Although the sea conditions on the Discovery Point side are very complicated and large ships cannot dock, small sampans have no problem. They can use small sampans to transfer the Lima treasure little by little and transport it to the sea at the bottom of the cliff.
The pirates on the top of the cliff can use ropes to slowly descend along the cliff and enter the cave. Then they can use ropes to hoist the Lima treasure into the cave in batches and hide it!
This operation can be said to save time and effort. If everything goes well, it will only take half a day. Captain Thompson and the others can perfectly hide the Lima treasure and then leave!
Why did Captain Thompson kill all his men later? It goes without saying that it must be to keep it secret. With his ruthlessness and viciousness, how could he let his pirates leave with their secrets? “
“I’ll go! This operation is so awesome, it’s so perfect! It’s really eye-opening!”
Logan immediately exclaimed and danced excitedly.
The rest of the people were the same. While being shocked by Ye Tian’s words, they also became more and more excited!
Everyone of them is eager to try it, wishing they could grow a pair of wings immediately, fly down the cliff of Discovery Point, fly into the cave hidden behind the waterfall, and let the Lima treasure reappear in the world!
At that moment, it will be extremely perfect and moving, and the whole world will be shocked by it!
“Steven, does this mean that we also need to change the flow direction of the nearby stream and let the waterfall rush out of the cliff from another place?
Next, everyone will make a Spider-Man, use ropes to slowly hang down the cliff, and enter the cave to explore! It’s a bit difficult! “
Professor Delgado continued to ask, his face full of excitement.
“Yes! We are indeed planning to change the flow direction of the nearby stream and let the waterfall rush out from other places. It should not take long to complete. We have brought all the relevant equipment!
If you can withstand the huge impact of the waterfall without changing the flow direction of the stream, you can follow us and experience the feeling of climbing over the walls. It will definitely be very exciting! “
Ye Tian nodded slightly and said jokingly.
“Forget it! We old bones can’t stand the torment. It’s a waterfall falling from a height of 80 to 90 meters. It only takes one hit to kill us!
It is better to change the direction of the stream, and then slowly descend into the cave to explore the treasures of Lima. It is obviously safer that way. You have plenty of time, so there is no need to rush! “
Professor Delgado smiled and shook his head, choosing the safest method.
“Well, let’s use this method. It is indeed safer. Matisse and I can resist the impact of the waterfall, but you don’t have this ability.
Let’s go to the cliff to see the specific situation, and then we can split up. You have lunch and recharge your batteries while we build a temporary dam! “
With that said, Ye Tian stepped out and walked towards the Discovery Point cliff.
The rest of the people followed closely behind, all excited and excited, their eyes full of anticipation.
“This is a downhill road. Everyone must pay attention to their steps and be sure not to slip or slip. I believe no one wants to ride a roller coaster and fly off the cliff of Discovery Point!”
As Ye Tian marched, he loudly reminded others.
“Hahaha”
Everyone laughed loudly, the sound was very hearty!
