Chapter 1066: The Lively Wharf
As the convoy continued to speed along the highway, getting closer to the port and getting lower and lower, Caldera Bay gradually came into view.
Puerto Caldera is one of the three largest ports in Costa Rica and the largest port in the Central American country on the Pacific coast, located 77 kilometers from the capital, San José.
After nearly an hour of high-speed speeding, Ye Tian and their convoy finally arrived at this port facing the Pacific Ocean.
Before the convoy entered the port, everyone saw the situation in the port from a distance.
At this time, there were not many cargo ships in the port, only three or five ocean-going freighters, flying the flags of different countries, moored at their respective berths.
In addition to these freighters, there are more than 20 passenger liners and yachts moored in the port, as well as several official ships belonging to the Government and Port of Costa Rica.
One of the medium-sized passenger ships, red and white, flying the Costa Rican flag, is an exploration vessel provided by the Costa Rican government and chartered at the expense of Intrepid Discovery.
This thing is said to be an exploration ship, but it does not have any deep-sea exploration equipment on it, and its main task is to send the tripartite joint exploration team to Cocos Island and bring them back!
If the Lima Treasure is successfully found, with the limited carrying capacity of this exploration ship, it is estimated that it will not be able to transport the gold and silver treasures in the Lima Treasure back to Costa Rica!
Even if its carrying capacity was sufficient, Ye Tian would not be stupid enough to use it to carry priceless gold and silver treasures, and he didn't trust the safety of this passenger ship very much!
If, on the way back to Costa Rica to transport the treasures of Lima, this thing suddenly goes wrong and sinks into the depths of the Pacific Ocean with a large amount of gold and silver treasures, it will be a big loss!
You know, this is a passenger ship with more than 20 years of age, the maintenance condition is relatively average, and the probability of an accident is not small!
The reason why he chose this passenger ship as the exploration ship was that Ye Tian completely took care of the face of the Costa Rican government, gave them a rent for nothing, and made superficial statements to show respect for the sovereignty of Costa Rica!
In his heart, he didn't expect this exploration ship to play any role at all, he just hoped that this ship could sail safely to Cocos Island and return safely, and he didn't dare to ask for more!
On the bright side, the ship carrying everyone to Cocos Island is the superyacht moored not far from this exploration ship!
It is a superyacht more than 120 meters long, from the German Lürssen, one of the top yacht brands!
This superyacht is completely white, with a total of six floors, and the space looks very spacious! There are forty or fifty guest rooms, and there is no problem at all to accommodate sixty to eighty people.
On the flybridge deck at the top of the yacht, a medium-sized helicopter is parked, which looks like an Airbus helicopter and should be standard on this superyacht.
Around this superyacht and exploration vessel, several official ships of the Costa Rican government and port are moored, two of which have police signs affixed to them.
A little farther away at the berths and on the sea, there are more than a dozen or twenty yachts of all sizes.
Caldera Harbor is a cargo port, and private yachts generally don't appear here, let alone as many as a dozen or twenty at a time!
Obviously, these yachts are here for the joint search for the treasures of Lima!
As for the intentions of those guys on the yacht, whether they want to go to Cocos Island to see the excitement, or whether they want to fish in troubled waters and make a windfall, it is unknown for the time being!
When the tripartite joint exploration team arrives on Cocos Island and begins to explore the treasures of Lima, everything will fall into place.
In addition to the many ships moored on the sea, there were also many people on the wharf, including a large number of media reporters with long guns and short cannons, and idlers who came to join in the fun.
Among them were twenty or thirty protesters, and as you could tell from the flags and placards they held aloft, they were either Spanish or Peruvian!
In addition, there were some Costa Rican police officers at the scene, as well as security personnel at the port.
The location of these people in the port is very concentrated, and they are all gathered on the pier in front of the passenger ship exploration ship, not far from the Lürssen superyacht!
None of the members of the Costa Rican government's exploration team, nor the members of the Columbia University exploration team, were there!
Either they hadn't assembled yet, were in the hotel, or had boarded the exploration ship, and no one had come out to deal with the many media reporters and onlookers.
Jason, too, didn't get out of the Lürssen superyacht and showed up on the dock.
They may be standing behind the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the yacht's living room, watching the situation on the dock and waiting for Ye Tian and them to arrive.
After a few quick glances at the situation in the port, Ye Tian immediately turned on the call function of the invisible headset and said through the headset:
"Matisse, inform everyone, drive the car next to that Lürssen superyacht, that's our yacht! In the next period of time, we will live on that yacht! I hope you like this arrangement!"
"Okay, Steven, I'll let you know right away, everyone is sure to like this arrangement, who doesn't want to experience what it's like to go out to sea on a superyacht and live and have fun on it?"
Matisse chuckled in response, his tone excited.
Soon, there was a cheer from the headphones, and every sound was full of excitement.
"Wow! Great! I didn't expect this expedition to be a luxury yacht trip, I love it!"
"Steven, you're so bold! I thought I was going to go to sea on that shabby passenger liner, but I didn't expect it to be a superyacht, it must be a great feeling, I can't wait!"
As he spoke, the convoy had sailed into the harbor and was speeding straight towards the Lürssen superyacht.
At the same time, the people gathered in the port also spotted the convoy that suddenly appeared.
"Look! A convoy of about a dozen SUVs drove into the harbor, heading for the dock, maybe Steven and his guys!
Nearly an hour ago, their private jet landed at Anthrín Maria International Airport, and they got off the plane and came to the port, so it should be time!"
"Do you need to ask? It must be Steven and his guys, who else but Steven, in Caldera Harbor, can put on such a big scene?"
In the midst of the discussion, many media reporters carried long guns and short cannons in their hands, directly squeezed through the Costa Rican police and port security personnel, and quickly rushed to an open space on the dock.
If Ye Tian's convoy drove to the dock, there was a good chance that they would stop in that open space, which was undoubtedly the best place to conduct interviews, and of course they had to occupy favorable terrain in advance.
Also rushing there, there are also those who marched in protest!
Seeing the convoy appear, the Spaniards and Peruvians suddenly became more excited, one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, hula rushed over there, ready to give Ye Tian a dismount!
The other idlers who came to see the excitement did not flock to that side.
They all turned around and stared at the convoy that was speeding towards the entrance of the dock, and everyone's eyes were unusually hot, full of envy, and a little curious.
Some guys' eyes are already green in an instant, flashing with greed!
