Chapter 3222: The cave under the sea
With a few moments of effort, Ye Tian cut off a large piece of fresh coral and threw it aside.
As he moved, the water in front of him suddenly became turbid and his vision became blurry.
When the floating coral fragments dispersed, the situation on the seabed was revealed.
What is hidden under that piece of coral is not a valuable treasure, but a rusty iron anchor, lying so quietly on the seabed,
Seeing this scene, Cole and the others sighed in disappointment.
The same goes for the people watching this treasure hunt live broadcast, who are somewhat disappointed.
Of course, there are also those who take pleasure in others’ misfortune.
At this moment, Ye Tian smiled and said:
“Judging from the corrosion of the anchor and the coral attached to it, the anchor sank on this seabed for at least 150 years, but later than the collapse of the undersea mountain. ”
“It’s a pity that it is not an antique cultural relic, and everyone is happy in vain”
Professor Paul continued.
“It’s true, this thing is really worthless”
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, then ended the investigation.
Then, a few of them continued to explore the top of this underwater mountain to see if they could find anything.
In the following time, they scanned several more metal objects, large and small.
Unfortunately, those metal objects are not treasures and have little value.
They were just items dropped by passing ships, including a rusty Lee-Enfield rifle.
While Cole and Miller were scanning, Ye Tian also carefully inspected the topography of the seamount, not missing a single corner.
Unfortunately, he didn’t make any surprising discoveries.
Under those young corals and seaweeds, there might be some unknown secret hidden, but he just didn’t discover it.
The little dolphin that had been following him before had left the bottom of the sea and went to the sea because it needed to breathe.
After taking a breath, the little guy did not come down again, but went to find his family.
The departure of this cute little guy made the seabed suddenly much quieter, but also a little less fun.
It didn’t take long for Ye Tian and the others to explore the top of the seamount, but found nothing.
Then, Ye Tian said through the underwater intercom system:
“Cole, Miller, let’s rest for five minutes before going to explore the hillside to the east”
“Okay, Steven”
Cole and Miller nodded in response.
Then the three of them swam towards the small submarine floating diagonally above.
When they came closer, they each took out a safety rope from their waists, used the safety lock to connect themselves to the small submarine, and hung it on the anti-collision pole of the small submarine.
In this way, they do not have to maintain their body posture at all times and can save a lot of physical energy by floating in the sea water.
There is no need to land on the coral reefs on the seabed, which can avoid some accidents.
If an accident occurs, they can immediately disconnect from the small submarine and escape quickly under the guidance of the diving propeller.
At this time, the Aurora mini-submarine was like a small sun floating on the seabed, emitting extremely dazzling light and extremely eye-catching.
And there are several people sitting in this little sun, three more are hanging on the crash guardrail outside, and there are many beautiful marine creatures swimming around.
This scene was very sci-fi and shocking, and everyone on the live broadcast side was amazed.
Have you ever seen this before? Everyone’s eyes turned red with envy1
Ye Tian, who was hanging outside the submarine, had already started discussing with a few guys in the submarine cockpit.
“Raymond, after we leave later, you can use a small submarine to take pictures of the top of this seamount, and then transmit it to the sea for research and analysis to see if you can find anything.”
“Okay, Steven, leave these things to me”
Raymond nodded in response.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Paul asked:
“Steven, on the Black Baron’s treasure map, didn’t it indicate the side of the seamount where the pirate treasures were buried?
If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that we have to thoroughly explore every side of this seamount before we can possibly find the treasure? ”
Ye Tian nodded slightly, and then said helplessly:
“Perhaps to keep it secret, the Black Baron only drew a treasure pattern on the top of this seamount, but did not mark the exact location of the treasure.
The top of this seamount has already collapsed. All we can do now is to thoroughly explore this seamount and find the treasure.
Now that we have found this seamount, I believe that as long as the Black Baron’s pirate treasure is indeed hidden here, we will definitely find it”
Hearing this, Professor Paul and Yahya nodded.
At the same time.
On the sea north of the joint exploration fleet operating area, several ships that had followed all the way from Casablanca hurriedly and slowly arrived at this sea area.
There are two luxury yachts, three fishing boats, and a cargo ship.
These guys were very careful and slowed down one after another when they were four to five hundred meters away from the warning zone, and finally stopped on the sea less than 200 meters outside the warning zone.
Although the Moroccan coast guard ship issued a warning, it did not come to drive it away.
The same goes for the security personnel of the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company. They just watched the movements of these ships and made no move to drive them away.
As soon as the ship came to a stop, two guys wearing diving suits, carrying oxygen bottles on their backs, and holding diving propellers appeared on the stern swimming platform of one of the yachts.
As soon as these two guys appeared, they jumped directly into the sea and disappeared without a trace.
After jumping into the sea, the two guys quickly adjusted their body postures, then started the diving thrusters and quickly swam to the depths of the seabed.
After diving for fifteen or six meters, they turned around and sneaked straight towards the warning area ahead.
But little did they know that their series of actions had long been discovered by a small drone suspended at an altitude of 300 meters and passed to the joint exploration fleet.
Immediately afterwards, Matisse’s voice reached Ye Tian’s ears.
“Steven, there are two idiots who just jumped into the sea and tried to approach the location you are exploring from the sea bottom from the north. Do you want to get rid of those two idiots?”
“There are really idiots who don’t know how to live or die, so let them come over and see what they can find, whether it is death or treasure”
Ye Tian said with a sneer, murderous intent in his eyes.
Soon, the five-minute break passed.
Ye Tian and the others disconnected from the small submarine one after another, then started the diving thrusters and swam towards the gentle **** on the east side of the seamount.
After they left, the small submarine also started to move.
Under Raymond’s control, the small submarine maintained its current depth and began to photograph the top of the seamount.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had arrived on the hillside on the east side of the seamount.
This is a **** that slopes downward. Compared with the other three sides, the **** is the smallest.
Even so, standing on the edge of the mountain and looking down, the water below is still dark, and the distance that searchlights can illuminate is very limited.
Ye Tian looked at the situation here, and then said through the intercom system:
“Guys, let’s start exploring. Just like before, scan this hillside with an underwater metal detector to see if you can find anything.
Don’t advance too fast, be sure to pay attention to changes in depth and water pressure, and make decompression stops. If you find anything, please notify me as soon as possible.
If the diving depth exceeds 60 meters, stop temporarily and wait for the submarine to come to support. Don’t leave each other’s field of vision and maintain communication.”
“Understood, Steven, we will take care of safety”
Cole and the others nodded in response.
Then the three of them launched an exploratory operation.
As before, Cole and Miller carried underwater metal detectors and swam down the hillside, scanning the coral and seaweed on the hillside.
Because this is a shallow sea with frequent human activities and not many predatory marine creatures, such as great white sharks, it is relatively safe.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is the speed and depth of the dive to avoid the occurrence of decompression sickness.
In addition, be careful not to get your hands and feet entangled in seaweed, etc.
After Cole and the others swam out, Ye Tian sneered and glanced at the sea water to the north, then swam down the hillside and began to explore the hillside.
In the seawater about a mile away, the two guys who jumped into the sea before were sneaking towards this side driven by the diving propeller.
In order to hide their traces, these two guys didn’t even dare to turn on the searchlights.
They can only follow the direction indicated on the diving tripod table and fumble forward in the sea water.
Fortunately, it was noon now, and the visibility in the sea was pretty good, so they would not be blinded.
But little did they know that something was waiting for them on the seabed ahead.
While talking, Ye Tian had swam about ten meters down the hillside, but the depth only increased by more than one meter and less than two meters.
Unlike Cole and Miller, he explores much faster.
Of course it is more efficient, but others don’t know it.
He was like a **** fish, driven by the diving propeller, swimming sideways on the hillside, scanning the situation on the hillside.
Beside him, there was also a group of beautiful fish, which were the same clown fish that he saw before.
They shuttled quickly among the vibrant corals and seaweeds, and among the rugged rocks, freely and unrestrainedly.
The only pity is that he didn’t find anything.
During this period, he encountered many marine creatures living on the seabed, which was a feast for his eyes.
Looking at the clown fish playing and swimming around him, as well as various other beautiful and ugly sea creatures.
Those who are watching this live broadcast of the treasure hunt are all amazed and envious.
“Wow! This scene is so cool. It would be great if the person swimming under the sea was me. I want to have such an experience too”
“I have to say, this guy Steven is really the king of the ocean. Seeing this scene, I really doubt that this guy is from the ocean world?”
Just when people were amazed, Cole’s voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
“Steven, you’d better come and take a look. I found a small cave here. The outside is covered with a lot of coral. The entrance to the cave is small and difficult to find.”
Hearing this, Ye Tian, who was swimming forward, immediately stopped.
“Okay, Cole, I’ll go over and see what you find”
As he spoke, he quickly turned around and swam towards Cole.
At the same time, Raymond also arrived here in a small submarine.
After hearing Cole’s report, he also drove the small submarine towards that side.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had reached Cole’s side and stopped immediately.
Immediately afterwards, the small submarine also came here, suspended in the water diagonally above, about five or six meters above the seabed.
“Steven, look here, there is a hole the size of a basketball. It looks like a cave. I didn’t find this cave when I explored here just now.
Just as I was about to leave, a half-grown turtle suddenly swam out of the cave, which startled me. After some observation, I discovered this small cave.”
While introducing the situation, Cole pointed out the location of the cave.
Following the direction of his finger, Ye Tian discovered this secret little cave in a blink of an eye.
As Cole said, the entrance of this cave is not big, only the size of a basketball, and its shape is irregular. The entrance is surrounded by corals of various colors.
Below the cave entrance, there is a piece of seaweed about one meter high, which just covers the cave entrance.
If you don’t look carefully, it is difficult to find this small cave.
Ye Tian stepped forward and looked at the situation at the entrance of the cave, then nodded and said:
“I didn’t expect there to be a cave here. Maybe it’s a surprising discovery, maybe there’s something hidden in this cave.
Judging from the condition of the cave entrance, the entrance of this cave should be larger, but it is blocked by coral and seaweed, so it appears very small.
Cole, go to the submarine, get the small underwater robot and put it into the cave to investigate the situation. I will clean up the seaweed at the entrance of the cave.”
“Okay, Steven”
Cole responded and immediately swam towards the small submarine.
Ye Tianze observed the situation on the seabed, then adjusted his body posture and turned off the diving thruster.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the diving knife and began to cut the seaweed in front of the hole.
In the blink of an eye, he had cut off all the seaweed blocking the entrance of the cave, and the entrance of the cave hidden behind was finally revealed.
As he had guessed, the entrance to this cave was larger than the one he had seen before, but relatively narrow.
If he didn’t carry an oxygen bottle, Ye Tian could get in sideways.
But there is no chance of carrying an oxygen tank unless you use a diving knife to cut off the coral around the hole and enlarge the hole.
Ye Tian did not intend to do this before he determined whether there were any secrets or treasures hidden in the cave.
So he planned to go in and explore with the underwater robot first. If he found anything, he would then take the next step.
As he spoke, Cole had returned with a small underwater robot, and the small submarine also moved a few meters closer.
The person responsible for controlling this small underwater robot is an employee of Intrepid Exploration Company sitting in the cockpit of the submarine.
Seeing Cole coming, Ye Tian immediately nodded and said:
“Put the underwater robot into the cave and see if there is anything hidden in the cave”
Cole nodded immediately, then started the small underwater robot, turned on the searchlight and underwater high-definition camera, and placed it at the entrance of the submarine cave.
The next moment, this small underwater robot suspended in the seawater slowly entered the undersea cave and began to explore.
The moment the underwater robot entered the cave, Ye Tian suddenly raised his hand and made a motion of cutting his throat.
The next moment, the live broadcast in the cave was cut off.
On countless live broadcasts around the world, the live broadcast screen changed at the same time, and the screen instantly cut to the scenery on the sea.
This sudden change caught everyone off guard.
Those who were watching the live broadcast with great interest and full of expectations were stunned for a moment, and then started yelling at the top of their lungs.
“Fake! Steven, this **** bastard, actually cut off the live broadcast at this time, what a shame!”
“This **** whetted everyone’s appetite, but then suddenly cut off the live broadcast. It’s really abominable!”
