The location of the shadow should be 50 meters away, and the searchlight light cannot illuminate that far.
Therefore, Ye Tian and Matisse couldn't tell what it was for the time being.
It doesn’t matter. Since you can’t see clearly from here, just go over there!
Just do it if you think of it, Ye Tian immediately said through the earphone:
"Matisse, what on earth is that? Let's go over and take a look and we'll understand. It's so big that it's either an undersea mountain or a sunken ship. Maybe we'll find something surprising!"
As he spoke, he increased the speed of the diving propeller and swam quickly over there.
Mattis immediately followed, and soon reached a parallel position, and the two walked side by side.
With the help of the submersible thrusters, they quickly passed a distance of twenty to thirty meters, like two black torpedoes, very quickly.
Fortunately, this is moving parallel in the sea water, and the water pressure does not change. If you float or dive at this speed, you will definitely be seeking death!
At a distance of thirty meters, with the help of searchlights, they could already see the general outline of the shadow!
Ye Tian's previous guess was correct. It was indeed a sunken ship. It was huge and lying on its side on the seabed. The main deck was directly facing this side, forming a huge shadow.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly flashed with joy, and he said excitedly:
"Great! It's indeed a sunken ship. I don't know what era the ship is from and what it carries. I hope there will be a good harvest!"
Before he finished speaking, the voices of Johnny and others came from the earphones, full of envy and excitement.
"Steven, you are so lucky! You found the sunken ship so quickly, and we haven't found anything yet! God knows when we will find something!"
"Tell me quickly, Steven, what kind of shipwreck is that? Is it the Malaga Princess you are looking for this time? If so, that would be great!"
Hearing their curious inquiries, Ye Tian immediately chuckled and said:
"It's definitely not the Malaga Princess. This sunken ship is very large. The specific situation is still unknown. We need to investigate to understand the true identity of this sunken ship!"
After saying that, Ye Tian quickly swam towards the sunken ship.
Behind him, Mattis poured another bucket of cold water on everyone.
"Of course it can't be the Princess of Malaga. You can tell from the side profile of the sunken ship that this is a modern ship, not a Galenic sailing ship hundreds of years ago. There is a big difference between the two!"
"Ah! It turns out to be a modern ship, so disappointing!"
"That's right! Except during times of war, who would use ships to transport gold and silver treasures in modern times? I guess there won't be much gain!"
Several sighs came from the earphones, and the smell of regret was very strong.
Obviously, Johnny and the others have lost interest in the sunken ship.
A moment later, Ye Tian and Matisse arrived near the sunken ship and had a panoramic view of the huge sunken ship on the seabed.
Mattis was right, this was indeed a modern ship.
It is also a cargo ship, about 120 meters long, made of all metal, huge in size, much larger than the Galenic sailing ship hundreds of years ago, and its transport capacity is also very impressive!
Based on the degree of rust on the hull metal, as well as the coverage and growth of seaweed and coral, the ship sank approximately 30 years ago, and no more than 40 years ago.
Judging from the Spanish ship name written above the ship building, this should be a ship from a country on the Caribbean coast, and the Caribbean coast is a Spanish-speaking area!
Of course, it is also possible that it is a cargo ship from Spain, but that possibility is very small!
As for the name of this sunken ship, it is unknown.
Neither Ye Tian nor Matisse knew Spanish, so they could only go back to the sea and ask Pique.
Why did this cargo ship sink in this area? Was it attacked by pirates? Or was it the storm? They don't know the reason yet, but they might find something if they investigate.
Before it sank, this cargo ship should have been fully loaded with cargo. This can be seen from the boxes dropped around the sunken ship!
There are dozens of wooden wooden boxes scattered in the area around the sunken ship. Some are still intact, while others have cracked or even completely fallen apart!
The goods in the box were scattered all over the floor. They were all mechanical equipment and were completely rusted!
Under Ye Tian's nose, there was a small, heavily rusted mechanical equipment that looked like a component of some kind of precision machine tool!
There is a metal nameplate on the side of this mechanical equipment. In the areas not covered by seaweed, you can still see some words, which are engraved in English.
From the text written on the nameplate, we can know that this machine tool comes from New Jersey, USA, and is a product produced by a well-known company.
Although I haven’t seen the nameplates of other mechanical equipment and don’t know their origins, I can imagine that they should all come from the same place!
Thirty years ago, these mechanical equipment may have been very valuable, even worth gold, but now they are worthless, just a pile of garbage, like the huge cargo ship next to it.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had a basic understanding of the situation of the sunken ship.
Obviously, this was not the sunken ship he wanted to encounter. It was basically worthless, just an artificial hill lying on the seabed.
But for the creatures in this sea area, this is undoubtedly a paradise of life and a perfect haven! It can be used to protect against wind and rain and avoid danger!
Less than two minutes after arriving at the edge of the sunken ship, Ye Tian had already seen many marine creatures moving in and out of the sunken ship, making it a busy scene.
There are two adult turtles, a hawksbill turtle, a large group of red-tailed hawksbills, a dozen brightly colored damselfishes of yellow and blue, and several scaly pipe fish that are as long as javelins, etc. ,
This is only what he saw from his position, and it is only a small part of the sea creatures that inhabit this sunken ship. There must be more elsewhere.
Although it was basically determined that the sunken ship was of little value, Ye Tian still planned to explore it in depth to see if he could find anything.
Of course it would be great if you made a discovery! That's an unexpected bonus!
Even if no discovery is made, this is a very good practice opportunity to practice your skills and get the feeling of exploring a sunken ship.
After a quick glance at the external situation of the sunken ship, Ye Tian immediately said:
"Matisse, let's go look inside the sunken ship, maybe we can find something"
"No problem! But you must pay attention to safety during exploration. Don't get your equipment caught on protrusions on the ship, and be careful of attacks by sea creatures.
This is not only a haven and nest for many marine creatures, but also a hunting ground for many sea beasts. Maybe we will encounter it when we go in."
Mattis did not object, but specifically warned him.
"I understand, don't worry, no one can hurt me on land, and it's the same in the sea, especially in a relatively small space like a sunken ship! It's just the right place to show off your skills!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, full of confidence.
After saying that, he controlled the submersible thruster and swam towards the sunken ship. The first exploration target was the ship building above the main deck.
Mattis followed, slightly more vigilant.
When they arrived here before, they were facing the main deck, and they were suspended in the water a little behind the middle of the sunken ship. They were not far from the ship building, and it wouldn't take long to swim across.
Driven by the diving propeller, Ye Tian and Matisse quickly arrived outside the collapsed ship building with almost no effort.
When they swam here, the two did not start exploring immediately. Instead, they hovered in the water and observed for a while to determine the target to explore first.
After a while, Ye Tian had determined his target.
He used the searchlight beam at the front end of the submersible thruster to shine on a row of windows on the upper floor of the ship, and then said to Matisse:
"Let's start from there. If what we expected is correct, it should be the cockpit of this freighter! Let's see what we can find!"
"Okay, this is a good choice"
Mattis nodded and agreed to the proposal.
Then the two of them swam toward the cockpit, their movements very relaxed and free!
If it weren’t for the strong light emitted by the submersible propeller, they would have looked like other sea creatures living in this sunken ship, swimming back to their habitat!
Soon, they arrived outside the cockpit of the cargo ship.
After gently swinging his legs to stabilize his body in the water, Ye Tian immediately raised the diving propeller and used the searchlight on the front to shine into the cockpit from the window.
The light had just entered the cockpit and before they could see clearly what was going on inside, Ye Tian and the others' expressions suddenly changed! The body couldn't help but lean back slightly!
I saw a huge guy swimming out from the cockpit, pointing directly at the window where they were!
