Everyone quickly gathered at the workbench and began to appreciate this unexpected discovery.
Under the illumination of the strong searchlight carried by the underwater robot and the lens of the high-definition camera, the underwater world at a depth of 300 meters is clearly presented to everyone.
This is a dark underwater world, with no light penetrating. Everything is wrapped in sea water, hidden in endless darkness, and full of unknown mysteries.
This is also a forbidden area for many marine creatures. Under the terrifying water pressure and low temperature, those surface creatures cannot survive here at all.
Those who can survive here are deep-sea creatures that have adapted to the darkness.
Compared to the colorful ocean surface, this place seems a lot lonely, more like an ocean desert!
The arrival of the underwater robot immediately broke the tranquility here, bringing light to this dark underwater world for the first time.
Wherever the bright beams of several searchlights passed, the underwater world immediately became chaotic.
Under the stimulation of the light, a small school of deep-sea fish suddenly dispersed in front of the robot and fled in all directions. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared out of the camera and disappeared into the darkness again.
As prey in the ocean, these small fish are very alert. Once they find that something is wrong, they will quickly escape to protect themselves!
In their eyes, this yellow monster that suddenly appeared in front of them, emitting dazzling light, was most likely a predator and was very dangerous, so it was better to avoid it.
Some are timid and cautious, and of course there are also bold and curious ones!
As soon as the school of fish dispersed, two Cuban dogfish about one meter long appeared in the lens, swimming directly towards the underwater robot from a few meters away.
These two dogfish must have just finished eating. At this time, they have no desire to hunt. When they swim here, they are not very fast. They are very leisurely, more like patrolling their territory.
Swimming near the underwater robot, they began to observe the sudden appearance of the guy, and kept swimming around the robot, constantly testing, and they were very curious!
On the computer screen, Ye Tian and the others saw these pictures clearly, very vividly!
However, everyone’s focus is not here, but about ten meters in front of the underwater robot.
At the edge of the dark world ahead, a huge thing stood there quietly, like an undersea hill, motionless and without any rhythm of life.
Although it has no life of its own, it is a shelter for life in the underwater world.
Especially for those deep-sea creatures at the bottom of the food chain, it is the paradise of life and the most ideal haven, allowing them to escape from natural enemies again and again and enjoy the beauty of life.
There, many deep-sea fishes of different types and sizes are happily swimming and shuttling, gathering and dispersing very freely!
This is a ship that sank deep under the sea. The several towering masts on the ship and the huge hull that is forty to fifty meters long accurately reveal its identity.
There is no doubt that this is a Spanish four-masted Galen ship, developed from the Clark sailing ship. In the era of sail power, it was a well-deserved ocean overlord!
Since the mid-16th century, Galenic ships have been crisscrossing the world's oceans. It was not until the emergence of steam-powered ships that Galenic ships withdrew from the stage of history and gradually became toys and museum exhibits for a few people!
After just two glances at the appearance of the sunken ship, Ye Tian got a definite answer.
Kenny's judgment is very accurate. The only uncertainty now is the purpose of this Galen ship, whether it is a Spanish warship or a treasure ship traveling between Spain and Latin American colonies.
From the mid-16th century to the end of the 17th century, the Spanish government was very fond of Galenic sailing ships and always regarded them as the first choice for ocean-going cargo ships and warships.
So when modern people mention Galenic ships, the first thing that comes to mind is the huge Spanish treasure fleet, as well as countless treasure ships that have sunk in the depths of major oceans around the world.
Ye Tian and the others were no exception. When they heard Kenny's news, everyone thought of the treasure ship, that's why they were so excited!
Although everyone can quickly tell that this is a Galen ship from the appearance of the ship, they cannot accurately determine the true purpose of this ancient sunken ship.
You must know that in that era when pirates were rampant, both ocean-going cargo ships and warships were equipped with powerful firepower, and the roles between the two could be switched at any time.
After taking a closer look at the sunken ship, Ye Tian said through the intercom:
"Raymond, raise the underwater robot fifty meters first, and then put the robot down after reaching the top of the yacht to avoid hanging on the sunken ship.
Picker, after the underwater robot rises, you immediately start the yacht, drive forward about ten meters, stop directly above the sunken ship, and then anchor the ship! "
"Okay, Steven"
The two responded separately and immediately took action.
The underwater camera began to rise slowly, and the image on the computer screen changed accordingly, turning into a bird's-eye view, allowing Ye Tian and the others to understand a little more about the sunken ship.
After about two or three minutes, Raymond's voice came through the walkie-talkie again.
"Steven, Peak, I have raised the underwater robot fifty meters and can start the yacht"
"Received, let's sail now"
Piqué responded, sounding very excited.
Immediately afterwards, the yacht started to move, dragging the underwater robot forward slowly.
After a while, the yacht was in place and stopped again.
The anchor at the bow of the ship was then thrown into the sea by Miller. After a while of shaking, the luxury yacht settled on the sea and could start exploring.
When the yacht came to a complete stop, Raymond immediately started the winch again, began to slowly release the steel cable, and lowered the underwater robot directly above the sunken ship.
As he spoke, the underwater robot had descended more than forty meters and landed on the deck of the sunken ship.
In the main cabin of the yacht, Ye Tian held a walkie-talkie and kept staring at the images from the camera carried by the underwater robot.
The moment the underwater robot landed on the deck of the sunken ship, he immediately said quickly through the intercom:
"Raymond, the robot has lowered to the deck, stop the winch!"
"Okay!"
After the words fell, the underwater robot immediately stopped descending, and the picture on the computer screen also changed, turning into the situation on the top deck of the sunken ship.
After a little shaking, the situation on the deck of the Spanish four-masted galenic ship suddenly appeared clearly before everyone's eyes.
The deck of the sailboat was very messy, as if a storm had raged. Everything was swayed and thrown everywhere. More things were no longer on the ship and should have fallen on the seabed nearby or on both sides of the sailboat!
But the images returned by the camera are enough for everyone to make accurate judgments.
Seeing these pictures on the computer screen, everyone suddenly became more excited. They stepped forward one after another and began to look carefully. Everyone's eyes were full of anticipation and very excited!
No need to think about it, everyone on the yacht hopes that this is a treasure ship, so they can make a fortune!
More importantly, this sunken ship has nothing to do with Thor Security Company. All proceeds belong to Intrepid Exploration Company and do not need to be shared with anyone else!
After observing for two or three minutes, Ye Tianfang finally said:
"This is a Spanish warship, not a treasure ship. Regarding this, we can see from the gun emplacements on the ship's side and the holes blasted out of the ship's side. Those gaps should have been made by solid cannonballs.
Furthermore, the most brutal boarding battle must have occurred on this battleship. There were too many weapons left on the deck. From this, it can be seen that this battleship must have been sunk. I don’t know whether it was the British or pirates. of? "
You could hear a hint of regret in his tone.
"Yes, this is indeed a Spanish battleship. It has great archaeological value, but its economic value is limited. It is not the treasure ship we most want to see."
Mattis nodded in agreement, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Johnny Depp suddenly said excitedly:
"Guys, look in the direction of the ship building. There seem to be boxes there, and there are a lot of them!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately looked at another picture on the screen.
