Chapter 698: Preparing for a Deep Dive (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)

The building of the Galen ship was located at the stern of the ship, and this old Spanish warship was no exception.

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

Faintly visible on it was a pile of things piled up on the main deck in front of the ship, which seemed to be some boxes judging by the boxy shape of the scattered pieces.

Seeing these pictures, everyone suddenly became more excited.

"Those things look like wooden crates, there should be a dozen, could it be a battleship converted into an armed merchant ship? If so, it would be great!"

"I don't know what those boxes contained, whether it was industrial supplies shipped across the Spanish sea, or gold and silver treasures shipped from the Latin American colonies? If it's the latter, it's definitely a great fortune."

While the discussion was excited, everyone was carefully studying the video footage on the screen.

After taking a few serious glances, Ye Tian pointed to the computer screen and said:

"Kenny, zoom in as much as you can to see what these boxes are really for, what exactly are they in?

"Okay, no problem"

Kenny nodded excitedly, then manipulated the mouse and began to zoom in on the video.

In the blink of an eye, the image on the main deck in front of the ship building was magnified several times, and the clarity was even more unbearable, but it was enough for everyone to discern what those things were!

It was indeed some wooden crates, about fifteen or sixteen, not very large, almost 60×50×40, and looked a bit like ammunition crates in appearance.

In the era of sail power, it was impossible to stack boxes on the main deck of both warships and merchant ships, which would be too dangerous and would bring great hidden dangers to ships under sail.

The dozen or so wooden crates, which were supposed to have been temporarily moved from the cabin to the deck, were originally stacked in front of the ship, secured with cables and fishing nets.

Due to the violent movement or fighting before the sinking of the Galen, the cables and fishing nets used to secure it were broken or rotten, and the boxes were scattered on the deck.

Over the centuries, the sea has eroded the sea, and the words on these boxes have disappeared, and it is impossible to tell what they contained.

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

That's right, these are some old ammunition crates, for solid bombs, not for what one would most expect to see, chests full of gold or other treasures.

Those boxes must have been filled with solid iron balls, and before the flowering bullet appeared, this thing was the most terrifying killing weapon on Galen's ship, and its power should not be underestimated!

After determining the purpose of these boxes, a trace of disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes.

It turned out to be just a solid iron ball with no value, not some gold or silver treasure!

In addition to these crates, there were other things scattered on the deck, including two bronze cannons, seven or eight firing powder guns, and swords used in broadside battles.

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

Then, everyone looked at the shipbuilding again.

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

Moreover, the remaining bulkheads, doors and windows on the ship's floor also make it more difficult for light to penetrate, and the picture on the computer screen seems to be full of shadows, which is not very real!

After a few glances at the enlarged picture, Ye Tian immediately spoke:

"Kenny, steer the robot slowly towards the ship's building, be careful as you move forward, and don't let the cables and cables that control the robot get tangled with the masts on the sunken ship.

If that happens, it's going to be a big problem! If we can't get out of it by discarding the underwater robot, if the robot can't get over, then forget it, let's find a way!"

"Okay, I'll try it!

Kenny nodded in response, and began to concentrate on his work, very carefully.

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

However, the robot's movement process was not smooth.

Less than two meters ahead, the monitoring screen on the computer screen suddenly looked up, although the amplitude was not large, but it was enough to arouse everyone's vigilance.

It is clear that the steel cables and cables used to control the underwater robot are likely to come into contact with the towering mast of the wreck.

Seeing this situation, everyone's hearts immediately hung in the air.

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

Ye Tian hurriedly said loudly, his voice was very urgent.

"Roger, Steven"

As he spoke, the underwater robot stopped moving forward, and the screen froze before slowly returning to the horizontal direction.

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

Next, the miniature propellers rotate and push the underwater robot backwards, and the camera carried outside the robot turns around to film the situation behind the robot.

Looking at the footage transmitted by the camera, everyone in the yacht couldn't help but hold their breath, staring at the computer screen tightly, without blinking their eyelids.

Fortunately, Ye Tian and Kenny reacted in time, and as soon as the steel cable touched the mast, the robot stopped advancing, and did not encounter any trouble when retreating, and retreated smoothly.

When the underwater robot returned to the previous starting point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the hanging heart was put back in their stomachs.

After a pause, Ye Tian spoke again:

"Try something else!Kenny, like taking a detour overboard, or having the underwater robot rise up first, pass over the mast, and then descend in front of the ship!"

"OK! I'll give it a try."

Kenny nodded in response, and began to try.

Over the next half hour, he tried a total of six or seven ways to get the underwater robot to descend before the ship's building.

Unfortunately, these attempts ended in failure, and there were so many obstacles on the deck of the Spanish four-masted Galen, full of masts and other outbuildings, and each one taller than the other!

Coupled with the dark deep-sea environment where the wreck is located, it is indeed difficult to find a safe route to the ship's front of the ship.

During the attempt, they even encountered two dangerous situations, and the steel cable of the underwater robot and the mast of the sunken ship were almost twisted together, which made everyone on the yacht frightened.

After several failures in a row, the disappointment on everyone's faces became even stronger.

Judging from the current situation, the underwater robot can only circle around the perimeter, unable to get close to the most valuable targets, and cannot shoot more information, and it seems that the exploration cannot continue.

However, Ye Tian didn't think so.

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

You don't have to venture aboard the ship, you just need to get within 25 meters of the wreck and use the clairvoyance to investigate.

At that time, there will be no secrets left in this ancient shipwreck, and everything will be clearly presented to your eyes.

Whether this is a warship or an armed merchant ship, and whether it is loaded with industrial goods shipped from Spain, or gold and silver treasures brought to Spain from the Latin American colonies?

As soon as he thought of it, Ye Tian immediately spoke:

"Kenny, don't explore with underwater robots, it's all useless, if something goes wrong, it won't be worth the loss, get ready to take back the underwater robots!

I'm going to use a small sightseeing submarine to launch and explore, and there are no steel cables and cables connected to the yacht on the submarine, which is more conducive to underwater operations!"

"Ahh

Matisse asked, surprised, slightly worried,

Pique and the others were also quite surprised, and they all turned their heads to look.

And the two Hollywood stars, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, flashed with joy in their eyes!

I was finally able to dive into the deep sea to explore the shipwreck, and although it was night, the scenery in the ocean was somewhat discounted, but it was also very much worth looking forward to.

Ye Tian nodded affirmatively, smiled and said:

"That's right, I'm going to go to sea in a sightseeing submarine to explore the wreck myself, and I trust my eyes more than the high-tech equipment carried by underwater robots!

As long as I can get close to this shipwreck, I can basically figure out what it was used for in the first place, whether it is worth exploring, and whether it is worth our efforts."

"Okay, Steven, now that you've decided, let's get moving!"

Matisse nodded, without any objections.

Kenny and Raymond then work together to slowly lift the underwater robot from deep under the sea.

Pique and Mattisse left the main deck cabin to inspect the sightseeing submarine!

A brand new underwater journey is about to begin!
