The deck of Galen's ship is located at the stern, and this ancient Spanish warship is no exception.

The picture Johnny is talking about was taken by the high-definition camera on the right side of the underwater robot. The distance between the two is about fifteen meters, and the video picture is not very clear.

On it, you can vaguely see some things piled on the main deck in front of the ship building. Judging from the boxy shapes of the scattered items, they seem to be some boxes.

Seeing these pictures, everyone suddenly became more excited.

"Those things look like wooden crates. There should be more than a dozen of them. Could this be an armed merchant ship converted from a battleship? If true, that would be great!"

"I wonder what's in those boxes? Are they industrial supplies shipped across the sea from Spain, or gold and silver treasures shipped from Latin American colonies? If it's the latter, it's definitely a huge fortune"

While discussing excitedly, everyone was carefully studying the video on the screen.

After looking at it carefully for a few times, Ye Tian pointed at the computer screen and said:

"Kenny, zoom in as much as possible to see the real purpose of these boxes and what exactly is in them? Also look at the situation in the ship building, maybe you will find more!"

"Okay, no problem"

Kenny nodded excitedly and then operated the mouse to zoom in on the video.

In the blink of an eye, the picture on the main deck in front of the ship building was enlarged several times, and the clarity was even worse, but it was enough for everyone to identify what those things were!

Those were indeed some wooden crates, about fifteen or six, not large in size, about 60×50×40, and looked a bit like ammunition boxes in appearance.

In the era of sail power, no matter whether it is a warship or a merchant ship, it is impossible to stack boxes on the main deck. It is too dangerous and will bring great hidden dangers to the sailing ships.

These dozen wooden crates were probably temporarily moved from the cabin to the deck. They were originally stacked in front of the ship building and fixed with cables and fishing nets.

Due to the violent movements or fighting before the Galen ship sank, the cables and fishing nets used to secure it had been broken or rotten, and the boxes were scattered on the deck.

After hundreds of years of continuous erosion by sea water, the words on these boxes have disappeared. People cannot judge what is inside through the words written on the boxes.

But from the size, shape, and other information of these wooden crates, everyone has basically guessed the purpose of these crates.

That’s right! These were some ancient ammunition boxes, used to hold solid bombs, not what everyone expected to see, boxes filled with gold or other treasures.

The boxes must be filled with solid iron balls. Before the emergence of explosive bombs, this thing was the most terrifying murder weapon on Galen's ship. Its power cannot be underestimated!

After confirming the purpose of these boxes, everyone couldn't help but have a flash of disappointment in their eyes.

It turned out to be just a solid iron ball without any value, not any gold or silver treasure!

In addition to these wooden crates, there were other things scattered on the deck. Next to the ship's side were two bronze cannons, seven or eight powder guns, and swords used in boarding battles.

It didn’t take long for everyone to have a basic understanding of the situation on the deck.

Then everyone looked towards the ship building again.

Although the spotlight's beam is very bright, in the dark deep sea, the illumination distance is relatively limited, and it cannot fully illuminate the ship building through more than ten meters of sea water.

Moreover, the remaining bulkheads, doors and windows on the ship's upper floor also make it more difficult for light to penetrate, and the pictures on the computer screen look blurry and unreal!

After looking at the enlarged picture for a few times, Ye Tian immediately said:

"Kenny, control the robot to slowly approach the ship building. Be careful when moving forward. Don't let the steel cables and cables controlling the robot get entangled with the masts on the sunken ship.

If that happens, you'll be in big trouble! If it doesn't work, we can only escape by discarding the underwater robot. If the robot can't get over, forget it, let's find a way! "

"Okay, let me try it! Be careful!"

Kenny nodded in response, and then began to concentrate on the operation, very carefully.

As soon as he finished speaking, several propellers carried by the underwater robot started to rotate, and began to slowly turn around, trying to move towards the ship building.

However, the robot's movement was not smooth.

Less than two meters forward, the surveillance screen on the computer screen suddenly tilted upward. Although the amplitude was not large, it was enough to arouse everyone's vigilance.

Obviously, the steel cables and cables used to control the underwater robot were likely in contact with the tall masts on the sunken ship.

Seeing this situation, everyone's hearts immediately rose.

"Stop moving forward! Kenny, let the underwater robot retreat slowly!"

Ye Tian spoke quickly, his voice very urgent.

"Copy that, Steven"

As he said that, the underwater robot stopped moving forward, and the picture on the screen paused, and then slowly returned to the horizontal direction.

Under Kenny's operation, the propeller at the tail of the robot immediately stopped rotating, and several other micro-propellers made a 180-degree turn, completely changing direction.

Next, these micro-propellers rotated, pushing the underwater robot slowly backwards. The camera carried on the outside of the robot then changed its direction to take pictures of the situation behind the robot.

Looking at the images sent back by the camera, everyone in the yacht couldn't help but hold their breath and stared at the computer screen without blinking.

Fortunately, Ye Tian and Kenny responded in time. As soon as the steel cable touched the mast, the robot stopped moving forward. They encountered no trouble when retreating and retreated smoothly.

When the underwater robot returned to its previous starting point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their anxious hearts returned to their stomachs.

After a moment's pause, Ye Tian spoke again:

"Try another route! Kenny, for example, take a detour from the side of the ship, or let the underwater robot rise first, pass over the mast, and then descend to the front of the ship building!"

"OK! Let me try it"

Kenny nodded in response and immediately started trying.

In the next half hour, he tried a total of six or seven ways to get the underwater robot to land in front of the ship building.

But unfortunately, these attempts ended in failure. There were too many obstacles on the deck of the Spanish four-masted galenic ship. There were masts and other ancillary buildings everywhere, and each one was taller than the last!

Coupled with the dark deep sea environment where the shipwreck is located, it is indeed difficult to find a safe route to the ship building.

During the attempt, we even encountered two dangerous situations. The steel cable of the underwater robot was almost entangled with the mast of the sunken ship, which frightened everyone on the yacht.

After several consecutive failures, the disappointment on everyone’s faces became even more intense.

Judging from the current situation, the underwater robot can only circle around the periphery and cannot get close to the most valuable targets. It cannot capture more information and the exploration seems to be impossible.

However, Ye Tian didn't think so.

If you want to find out the details of this sunken ship, it seems that you can only dive into the deep sea yourself.

You don't need to risk getting on the ship at all. You only need to get within 25 meters of the sunken ship to use your perspective ability to investigate.

At that time, this ancient sunken ship will have no secrets to speak of, and everything will be clearly presented to one's own eyes.

Is this a warship or an armed merchant ship? Are the cabins loaded with industrial products shipped from Spain, or gold and silver treasures shipped from Latin American colonies to Spain? It will be clear at a glance!

Just do it if you think of it, Ye Tian immediately said:

"Kenny, stop exploring with the underwater robot. All you are doing is useless. If something goes wrong, it will be more than worth the loss. Prepare to take back the underwater robot!

I plan to use a small sightseeing submarine to explore the water. There are no steel cables and cables connected to the yacht on the submarine, which is more conducive to underwater operations! "

“Ah! Are you planning to take a sightseeing submarine and explore the water yourself? Isn’t it a bit dangerous?”

Matisse asked in surprise, a little worried,

Pique and the others were also quite surprised and turned their heads to look over.

The eyes of the two Hollywood stars, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, flashed with joy!

I can finally dive into the deep sea to explore the sunken ship. Although it is night now, the scenery in the ocean is somewhat compromised, but it is still worth looking forward to.

Ye Tian nodded affirmatively and said with a smile:

"Yes, I am going to take a sightseeing submarine into the sea and explore this sunken ship in person. Compared with the high-tech equipment carried by the underwater robot, I trust my eyes more!

As long as I can get close to this sunken ship, I can basically figure out its original purpose, whether it has exploration value, and whether it is worth our efforts to explore"

"Okay! Steven, now that you have decided, let's take action!"

Mattis nodded without raising any objection.

Subsequently, Kenny and Raymond worked together to slowly lift the underwater robot from the depths of the sea.

Piqué and Matisse left the main deck cabin to inspect the sightseeing submarine!

A new underwater journey is about to begin!
