As the heavy iron anchor entered the water, the four medium-sized cruise ships and the engineering ship of the joint exploration team were firmly anchored on the surface of Lake Tana.
At this moment, a group of beautiful waterbirds suddenly flew over and landed on the lake around the fleet, hunting and playing on the lake as if there was no one else around.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Compared to those ferocious Nile crocodiles, these aborigines of Lake Tana are obviously much cuter.
Everyone put down their work and stood on each ship to admire these beautiful pictures.
After a while, everyone got busy again.
Ye Tian and David came out of the cabin and stood on the deck, looking at the surrounding environment.
“Steven, now that we have arrived at the location of the treasure, can you take out that priceless parchment scroll? Let everyone take a good look and satisfy everyone’s curiosity”
Mustafa said expectantly.
The rest of the people did the same, all looking at Ye Tian.
He shook his head slightly.
“It’s not time yet, gentlemen, the sunken location marked by the Italians may not be accurate. Everyone knows that during World War II, there was no GPS positioning technology.
In other words, the Italians can only use some traditional methods to determine the location of the treasure. It is inevitable that there will be some errors, or even large errors that are thousands of miles away.
We cannot rule out the possibility that this huge treasure left over from World War II may not be at the bottom of this lake, but in other places, which requires us to explore!
In view of this, I cannot publish this priceless treasure map for the time being. Don’t worry, I believe it won’t be long before we can find this treasure! ”
“That’s true. After all, this is a treasure map left over from World War II. Errors are inevitable!”
David continued talking, singing along with each other.
The other people also nodded, and Mustafa rolled his eyes helplessly.
Immediately afterwards, an Ethiopian archaeologist asked:
“Stephen, how deep do you predict this lake is? What is the terrain at the bottom of the lake? Is it a flat land, or undulating mountains? Did the Italians mark it on the treasure map?
More importantly, there are many ferocious Nile crocodiles in this water area. How do you plan to launch an exploration operation and find the treasure ship that sank at the bottom of the lake? This seems to be quite difficult! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mustafa continued:
“Yes, Steven, now is the season when Lake Tana has the most abundant water. As far as I know, the deepest point of Lake Tana is more than seventy meters or even deeper.
If you want to find the treasure ship that sank at the bottom of the lake, you must send someone to sneak into the bottom of the lake. Because of the presence of a large number of Nile crocodiles, it becomes very dangerous! ”
Hearing this, Ye Tian did not respond immediately.
He and David looked at each other and laughed in unison.
After a pause, he smiled and said:
“On that priceless treasure map, the Italians did not mark clearly how deep the lake was, and what was the topography at the bottom of the lake? Is it flat land or mountains?
For us, no matter how deep Lake Tana is or how complex the terrain at the bottom of the lake is, there is no difficulty. As long as this treasure does exist, we will definitely be able to find it.
We have rich experience in salvaging countless amazing treasures from the depths of the seabed in the Caribbean, Pacific, Mediterranean, Atlantic, English Channel and other places.
The treasures hidden deep in the seabed are much deeper than Lake Tana, and the seabed terrain where those treasures are located is a hundred times more complex than the terrain at the bottom of Lake Tana.
None of the bull sharks, great white sharks, etc. that live in the depths of the ocean are more ferocious than the Nile crocodile. If we can deal with those big guys, we can naturally deal with the Nile crocodile here.”
“Yeah, how could I forget those amazing treasures you discovered in the depths of the ocean, and those exploration actions that shocked the world!”
Mustafa suddenly said, and the others nodded.
After chatting for a while, everyone got down to business.
Ye Tian took some of his exploration team members and exploration equipment, boarded several speedboats, and sailed towards the engineering ship parked not far away.
Next, Mustafa and David, as well as some archaeologists from both sides, also boarded the engineering ship.
After everyone from all parties arrived, Ye Tian made an announcement.
“Gentlemen, next we will sink a small underwater robot to the bottom of the lake to explore the treasure ship that was scuttled by the Italian army during World War II, and explore the topography of the lake bottom.
I hope that this treasure ship that sank during World War II is at the bottom of this lake, and I also hope that the terrain at the bottom of this lake is not too complicated, so that we can salvage this shocking treasure.
If the treasure ship is not at the bottom of this lake, but somewhere else, or the location information marked by the Italians is wrong, then we can only search it with a net, hoping to find the sunken ship as soon as possible.
Then there is the terrain at the bottom of the lake. If the terrain at the bottom of the lake is very complex, with undulating mountains or even canyons with crisscrossed ravines, then the difficulty of this salvage operation will be greatly increased.
In addition to small underwater robots, if necessary, we will use small private submarines to dive into the depths of the lake, drive small submarines, cruise on the bottom of the lake, and search for this treasure!
Once this World War II-era sunken ship is found, the subsequent salvage operation will not be difficult. All the treasures left over from the World War II-era will be recovered by us.”
As soon as the words fell, there was an exclamation of exclamation.
“Wow! You are so well prepared. Underwater robots, small submarines, these top-notch exploration equipment, each piece is worth a lot of money!”
“No wonder you are so unfavorable and can find so many amazing treasures in the depths of the ocean. You are truly worthy of your reputation!”
While several archaeologists were amazed, Mustafa’s face was ugly and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
When the exclamations subsided, he immediately interjected and asked:
“I have a very curious question, Steven, how did you transport the small private submarine in? Ethiopia is not near the sea, and there has never been such a thing! Don’t say it was leased in Ethiopia”
Ye Tian looked at this old friend and said with a smile:
“Of course it was transported by air. I might as well tell you that our company’s brave deep-sea salvage ship has already arrived in the Mediterranean and is anchored in the Haifa Port in Israel.
On the world’s top deep-sea salvage ship, there are two small private submarines, one large and one small. This time we transported a small submarine to Ethiopia.
You can rest assured, Mustafa, we brought the small submarine in through legal channels. It can withstand investigation and it is not far from Haifa! ”
“Well, Steven, it seems there’s nothing you guys can’t do!”
Mustafa nodded in response, a little helpless.
While saying these words, he had made up his mind.
These situations must be reported to the President of Ethiopia and relevant departments. These loopholes must be plugged and some moths must be cleaned out.
While introducing the action plan, Ye Tian also took everyone to visit various places.
While talking, everyone has arrived on the main deck of this engineering ship.
At this time, several exploration team members from the brave deep-sea salvage ship have opened the protective cover on the Aurora small private submarine and are inspecting and debugging the small private submarine.
Everyone was amazed when they saw this dazzling small private submarine.
Especially those archaeologists, their eyes were shining with excitement, and they even couldn’t wait.
They all want to take this small submarine that looks like it comes from the future and dive into the depths of the lake to find and explore the treasure ship that sank during World War II!
Many Ethiopians, including Mustafa, were filled with envy and jealousy, and their eyes were red.
Ye Tian briefly introduced the small submarine, and then led everyone to a winch on the side of the ship.
On the deck next to this winch, there is a large iron cage about three meters high and two meters long and wide. It looks very strong.
There is a door on each side of the iron cage above, below, left and right, which can be opened from inside the cage.
When he arrived here, Ye Tian pointed at the iron cage and said to everyone present:
“If we find the treasure ship that sank during World War II at the bottom of the lake, in order to avoid being attacked by Nile crocodiles, we will have the exploration team put on diving suits and enter this iron cage.
Then we used a winch to slowly hoist the iron cage into the lake and lower it to the bottom of the lake little by little. This can not only save the diver’s physical energy, but also avoid decompression sickness caused by rapid diving.
More importantly, this can effectively avoid attacks by Nile crocodiles. No matter how ferocious those Nile crocodiles are, they will not be able to bite off the guardrails around the iron cage and attack the divers.
After reaching the bottom of the lake or a certain depth, such as a depth of fifty or sixty meters, the divers can move freely. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Nile crocodiles to dive to such a deep lake bottom.
After arriving at the bottom of the lake, divers can leave the iron cage and enter the sunken ship lying at the bottom of the lake to clean and salvage treasures. This iron cage can also be used to transport treasures.
In addition, it has another purpose, which is to carry a large number of oxygen bottles, underwater lighting equipment, and various other underwater exploration equipment, and send them all to the bottom of the lake! ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian also opened the door of the iron cage and demonstrated the function of this thing to everyone.
Although this iron cage looks very ordinary, it is very practical and makes everyone’s eyes brighten.
Especially the Ethiopians, they finally saw something they seemed to be able to do.
However, they overlooked one point. In a landlocked country like Ethiopia, there are no divers who can dive to the bottom of a lake 70 to 80 meters deep.
If you are an ordinary swimmer who has not received deep diving training, even if you wear a diving suit, trying to dive to this depth is tantamount to seeking death.
After introducing this seemingly ordinary iron cage, Ye Tian introduced the small underwater robot and various other underwater exploration equipment.
The Ethiopians who saw all these high-tech exploration equipment were eager to take them for themselves.
While Ye Tian was introducing the situation, many employees of the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company were busy preparing for the upcoming underwater exploration.
After a while, everything was ready.
After receiving the notification, Ye Tian led Mustafa and the others to the cabin of the engineering ship, preparing to witness the underwater exploration operation through the video footage sent back by the underwater robot.
At the same time, the National Geographic Channel broadcast team is also ready.
On the small underwater robot that is about to dive into the lake, there are two high-definition underwater cameras used to take pictures of underwater exploration.
The only regret is that they can’t broadcast live, they can only record and broadcast.
This was specifically requested by Ye Tian and was written in the contract for selling broadcast rights. The purpose was to avoid leaking the location of the treasure.
Seeing that everyone was here, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and announced that the underwater exploration operation had officially begun.
“Guys, you can put the small underwater robot into the lake. The movement must be gentle and the speed can be slow. Try not to disturb the Nile crocodiles that may be lurking nearby to avoid any accidents.
When the underwater robot is approaching the bottom of the lake, it must be careful to avoid getting entangled in the aquatic plants that may exist at the bottom of the lake. Of course, at the bottom of Tana Lake, which is 60 to 70 meters deep, there should not be too many aquatic plants and algae.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the response from his team members came over the intercom.
“Understood, Steven, leave the rest to us”
“Okay, guys, I hope we can find something at the bottom of this lake and get a huge surprise”
Ye Tian said with a smile.
Before he could finish his words, the small underwater robot had been put into the lake and slowly fell to the depths of Lake Tana.
The scene in the lake appeared on the big screen TV in front of everyone.
The first thing that appeared was a clear lake with a few fish swimming freely in the lake.
The appearance of the small underwater robot startled these small fish and they immediately fled in all directions.
When they discovered that this strange-looking guy with radiating light was not a threat, they immediately surrounded him again.
These fish surround the small underwater robot, constantly shuttling and swimming, having a great time.
While talking, the small underwater robot has dived to a depth of about two or three meters.
At this moment, a group of tilapia suddenly swam over from a distance and appeared in the underwater high-definition lens and on the big-screen TV in the cabin.
These tilapias were a little bolder. They swam right up to the small, glowing robot and surrounded it.
A few of the tilapias even approached the underwater high-definition camera and looked at the camera curiously.
Appearing on the TV screen were several huge tilapia heads, staring at everyone sitting in the cabin with round eyes.
Everyone laughed when they saw this scene.
Especially those Ethiopians, they have only seen such scenes on some nature exploration programs before, but have never experienced it personally.
When I saw it at this time, I felt very fresh and excited.
The small underwater robot kept diving and slowly fell to the depths of the lake.
At the same time, the light around it is gradually dimming.
The several strong underwater lights it carried lit up one after another.
This turned it into a light source in the lake, attracting many curious people.
Several Nile barramundi suddenly swam quickly and drove away the previous group of tilapia.
However, these Nile barramundi just swam next to the small underwater robot, but they seemed to be frightened and suddenly ran away.
The next moment, two Nile crocodiles with a body length of more than four meters appeared on the video screen.
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately exclaimed.
“I’ll go! There are indeed Nile crocodiles in this water area, and they are quite big!”
“Where were these guys hiding before? Why haven’t they been found yet? Did they follow us all the way?”
Just as everyone was exclaiming, one of the Nile crocodiles suddenly rushed towards the small underwater robot, menacingly!
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted:
“Dive quickly and try not to let those Nile crocodiles hit or bite the small underwater robot!”
Before he finished speaking, the small underwater robot suddenly accelerated its dive speed and fell straight into the depths of the lake!
The Nile crocodile rushed at high speed, but at the critical moment, it missed everything in one bite!
Everyone sitting in the cabin could clearly see the big guy’s mouth full of fangs and even his throat!
