Chapter 2102: The sunken treasure on the ridge
After cutting off those annoying tails, the expedition fleet's next voyage was smooth sailing without any interference.
When the fleet left the territorial waters of Greece for about fifty nautical miles, Ye Tian ordered all ships to turn off the onboard radars and replace them with their own portable radar system for navigation to achieve the purpose of hiding their tracks.
This can only fool some ordinary ships trying to track the fleet. As for the countries along the Mediterranean Sea, they must be watching the whereabouts of the fleet closely and knowing the location and direction of the fleet.
Coupled with the ongoing live broadcast by the National Geographic Channel and NBC TV, the move to turn off the shipboard radar is more effective than nothing.
In fact, countries along the Mediterranean Sea quickly responded.
Soon after Matisse and the others started to drive away the trailing ships, many official ships with flags of various colors set off from ports of various countries and quickly approached the exploratory fleet.
However, they are still far from the exploratory fleet, and it will take a lot of time to catch up with the exploratory fleet or reach the sea area where the ancient Roman shipwreck treasure is located.
This is enough, what Ye Tian wants is this time difference.
With this period of time, he can calmly arrange to prevent the ships coming from behind from interfering with the exploration.
In a blink of an eye, another day will pass.
As the sun sets, the original blue and transparent Mediterranean Sea is now covered with a golden coat, sparkling and beautiful.
After more than ten hours of uninterrupted sailing, the exploratory fleet has penetrated into the hinterland of the Mediterranean, surrounded by endless sea water, nothing else, not even the shadow of an island.
Moreover, it is far away from the busy Mediterranean commercial route, and there are no ships to see, it is very quiet.
For this quiet ocean, the arrival of the exploration fleet is like an uninvited guest, directly breaking the silence here, and it seems a little unharmonious.
The fiery red sunset on the horizon finally fell below the sea surface, disappeared from everyone's vision, and the twilight gradually rose up.
Everyone stood up in the rest area on the flying bridge deck of the Blue Princess, preparing to leave the flying bridge deck and go to the restaurant on the lower level.
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and said with a smile:
"Matis, inform all the captains that we are going to stop the ship. We have arrived at the eastern end of the target sea area. Next, everyone will have dinner first, and then have a good rest for the night, and explore tomorrow."
"Understood, Steven, I will let you know."
Matisse's voice came from the walkie-talkie, with excitement.
Not only him, but David and Jason who were also on the fly bridge deck, as well as other company employees, all turned their heads and looked over, everyone was excited.
When Ye Tian and Matisse finished the call, the kid Jason could not wait to say:
"Steven, where exactly is that ancient Roman shipwreck treasure? If it is really in this sea area, what are you waiting for? Let's go directly to the sea to explore and salvage, lest there will be many nights dreams.
Everyone coming along this way is like going on a holiday in the Mediterranean. There is no consumption at all. Everyone is in good condition. There should be no problems in exploring directly."
The voice fell off, and several other company employees also echoed a few sentences, which meant the same as Jason, and they couldn't wait.
Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"Guys, don't worry, since we have successfully reached the target sea area, as long as this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure exists, we will definitely be able to find it, and no one can stop it.
In fact, the information on the sunken treasure that I got only had a rough location and no precise coordinates. We still have a lot of work to do if we want to find this sunken treasure.
In addition, there is one more point. This is the Ionian Sea, the deepest sea area in the Mediterranean Sea, and the sea area where earthquakes are most frequent. The hydrological conditions are very complicated, and you cannot go into the sea rashly.
Only after we know the hydrological conditions here and the accurate depth of the sea, can we launch exploration operations in the sea. After all, safety comes first, and treasures are second."
Upon hearing these words, David and Jason all nodded, naturally there was no objection.
While talking, the speed of the exploratory fleet had dropped, and finally stopped on the surface.
Everyone in this exploratory fleet, as well as countless viewers on the live broadcast side, knew at this time that this fleet exploring the treasures of the ancient Roman shipwreck had reached the target sea area.
However, because the coordinates of the fleet are not given in the live broadcast, people cannot determine the specific location of the exploration fleet for the time being, and can only guess secretly.
Accompanied by the creak of the iron chains, the ships of the exploratory fleet dropped their anchors and were firmly nailed to the surface of the sea.
As soon as the fleet stopped, several speedboats were put down one after another on the superyacht used by experts and scholars behind, and on the two planing yachts dedicated to National Geographic Channel and NBC TV.
Immediately afterwards, those speedboats carried a group of experts and scholars and two hosts of live broadcast groups, galloping towards the Blue Princess.
When these guys arrived, Ye Tian asked Jason to take them all to the main deck living room of the Blue Princess.
As soon as he entered the living room, the curator of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece could not wait to say:
"Steven, is this the sea area where the ancient Roman shipwreck treasure is located? You know, here is the Ionian Sea, the deepest piece of water in the Mediterranean. How did you find the sunken ship treasure?"
"Yes, the deepest part of the Ionian Sea is more than 4000 meters, and the general depth is about one or two kilometers. Don't tell me that you have thoroughly explored the Ionian Sea before you discover the sunken treasure."
Another archaeologist echoed the words, eyes full of doubts.
Ye Tian looked at these two, then smiled and said:
"Maria, Leon, don't worry, when everyone is here, I will explain again, so I don't have to repeat it many times."
Hearing this, what else could Maria and the others do, they could only suppress their curiosity and wait patiently.
While talking, all the experts and scholars who came to the Blue Princess and the hosts of the two live broadcast groups have gathered in the main deck living room and sat down.
After everyone sat down, Ye Tian entered the topic.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the sea area where the fleet is currently located is the target of our brave exploration company to explore the Mediterranean this time, the sea area where the ancient Roman shipwreck treasure is located.
To be precise, this is the eastern end of the sea where the ancient Roman shipwreck treasure is located. Fifty nautical miles west from here, the ancient Roman shipwreck treasure may be anywhere, and we can definitely find it.
Everyone must have understood. We do not have the exact coordinates of this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure. We only have a rough position. Whether we can find this shipwreck treasure is a matter of two things.
The reason for this situation is very simple, because the information on this sunken treasure comes from a third party, not from our own discovery, because it needs to be kept secret, I won’t talk about the source of the information.”
Having said this, Maria suddenly intervened and repeated the question just now.
After she finished speaking, Ye Tian immediately said:
"As we all know, the Ionian Sea is the deepest part of the Mediterranean Sea, and seismic activity is frequent, the deepest part exceeds 4000 meters, and the hydrological conditions are extremely complicated.
The topography of the seabed in this sea area is undulating, with sea basins and ridges staggered. The depth of water between the bow and the stern of a ship traveling in this area can even be as much as four to five hundred meters.
The treasure of the ancient Roman shipwreck happened to be located at the top of a ridge. It was not too deep. It was discovered by chance and ushered in the dawn of the sun again.
It's a pity that the guy who discovered this shipwreck treasure died on the seabed during a deep dive before he had time to organize his forces to salvage the shipwreck treasure.
After several toss and turns, this shipwreck treasure information fell into my hands, so our company’s exploration fleet appeared in this sea area to explore this sunken treasure."
Hearing this, everyone on the scene couldn't help rolling their eyes, and vomiting secretly.
It's so exasperating! God once again favored this extremely lucky bastard, but turned a blind eye to everyone else. Is there any reason?
The performance of everyone at the scene ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was all seen by Ye Tian.
As if he hadn't seen him, he continued his performance.
"It's dusk now, everyone will enjoy a sumptuous dinner first, and then have a good rest. When the sun rises tomorrow, the exploration operation will officially begin.
After clarifying the hydrological conditions of this sea area, we will explore every ridge here. I believe it will not take long to find the sunken treasure,..."
Next, Ye Tian continued to introduce the situation of this sunken treasure and the follow-up action arrangements.
Of course, what he said was irrelevant, and he did not disclose a word of information that needed to be kept secret.
As time went by, the sky outside became darker and darker, and darkness gradually swallowed this beautiful blue ocean.
However, the ships of the exploratory fleet are brightly lit at this time, as if day, full of laughter, and lively, just like lighthouses standing in the dark.
