Chapter 698: Ready to dive
The Gallen ship’s building is located at the stern, and this ancient Spanish warship is no exception.
The picture Johnny said was taken by the high-definition camera on the right side of the underwater robot. The distance between the two is about 15 meters, and the video picture is not very clear.
From above it can be vaguely seen that some things are piled up on the main deck in front of the ship building. Judging from the scattered shapes of a few squares, it seems 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. Is this an armed merchant ship that was changed from a battleship? If it is, it would be great!"
"I don't know what's in those boxes? Are they industrial supplies shipped from Spain by sea, or gold and silver treasures shipped from Latin American colonies? If it is the latter, it is definitely a huge asset."
While excitedly talking, everyone is carefully studying the video on the screen.
After looking at it carefully, Ye Tian pointed to the computer screen and said:
"Kenny, zoom in as much as possible to see the real purpose of these boxes, what are the boxes? Also look at the situation in the ship building, maybe there will be more discoveries!"
"Ok, no problem"
Kenny nodded excitedly, and then operated the mouse to zoom in on the video.
In a blink of an eye, the picture on the main deck in front of the ship building was magnified several times, and the clarity was even worse, but it was enough for everyone to distinguish what those things were!
They were indeed some wooden crates, about fifteen or six, not big, almost 60×50×40, and looked like ammunition boxes in appearance.
In the age of sailing power, no matter whether it is a battleship or a merchant ship, it is impossible to stack boxes on the main deck. That is too dangerous and will bring great hidden dangers to the sailing ships.
These dozen wooden crates were supposed to be 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.
Because of the violent movement or fighting before the sinking of the Galen ship, the cables and fishing nets used to fix it had been broken or rotten, and these boxes were scattered on the deck.
After hundreds of years of continuous erosion by sea water, the words on these boxes have disappeared, and people cannot judge what is inside by the words written on the boxes.
But from the size, shape, and other information of these wooden boxes, everyone has basically guessed the purpose of these boxes.
That's right! These are some ancient ammunition boxes, used to hold solid bombs, rather than the most expected thing, boxes filled with gold or other treasures.
The boxes must be full of solid iron balls. Before the popping bomb appeared, this thing was the most terrifying murder weapon on the Galen ship. Its power should not be underestimated!
After determining the purpose of these boxes, everyone couldn't help but flashed disappointment.
It turned out to be just a solid iron ball with no value, not a treasure of gold and silver!
In addition to these wooden crates, there were other things scattered on the deck. Two bronze cannons, seven or eight gunpowder guns, and sabers used in the battle on the side of the ship were scattered.
It didn't take long for everyone to understand the situation on deck.
Afterwards, everyone looked at the ship building again.
Although the beam of the spotlight is very bright, in the dark and deep sea, the irradiation 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 upper floors of the ship also made it more difficult for light to penetrate, and the pictures on the computer screen looked very shadowy and unrealistic!
After glanced at the enlarged picture, Ye Tian immediately said:
"Kenny, manipulate the robot to approach the ship building slowly, and be careful when moving forward. Never let the steel cables and cables that control the robot be twisted with the masts on the sunken ship.
If that happens, the trouble will be big! Maybe we can get out only by discarding the underwater robot. If the robot can't get past, then forget it, let's think of a way! "
"Okay, let me try! Be careful!"
Kenny nodded in response, and then began to concentrate on the operation, very careful.
As soon as the voice fell, several propellers carried by the underwater robot had already turned, and began to turn their heads slowly, trying to move towards the ship building.
However, the movement of the robot is not smooth.
Less than two meters ahead, the surveillance picture on the computer screen suddenly tilted upwards. Although the amplitude was not large, it was enough to arouse everyone's alertness.
Obviously, the steel cables and cables used to control the underwater robot are probably in contact with the towering mast on the sunken ship.
Seeing this situation, everyone's hearts were immediately suspended.
"Stop! Kenny, let the underwater robot slowly retreat!"
Ye Tian said quickly, his voice was very urgent.
"Received, Steven"
With that, the underwater robot stopped moving, and the picture on the screen paused before slowly returning to the horizontal direction.
Under Kenny's operation, the propeller at the rear of the robot immediately stopped rotating, and the other miniature propellers turned around 180 times, completely turning their directions.
Next, these miniature propellers rotate, pushing the underwater robot to slowly retreat, and the camera carried on the outside of the robot turns its direction accordingly to take pictures of the situation behind the robot.
Looking at the picture returned by the camera, everyone in the yacht couldn't help holding their breath, staring at the computer screen closely, without blinking their eyelids.
Fortunately, Ye Tian and Kenny reacted promptly. As soon as the steel cable touched the mast, the robot stopped its advancement. When backing up without any trouble, they retreated smoothly.
When the underwater robot returned to the place of departure, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts were put back in their stomachs.
After a short while, Ye Tian said again:
"Try another route! Kenny, such as a roundabout from the ship's board, 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 began to try.
In the next half an hour, he tried a total of six or seven methods, trying to get the underwater robot to descend before the ship building.
But unfortunately, these attempts all ended in failure. There are too many obstacles on the deck of the Spanish four-masted Galen ship. There are masts and other outbuildings everywhere, and one is taller than one!
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.
In the course of the attempt, even encountered two dangerous situations. The steel cable of the underwater robot was almost twisted with the mast of the sunken ship, which shocked everyone on the yacht.
After several consecutive failures, the disappointment on everyone's face became more intense.
Judging from the current situation, underwater robots can only rotate around the periphery and cannot get close to the most valuable targets. Without capturing more information, the exploration seems impossible.
However, Ye Tian didn't think so.
If you want to figure out the details of the sunken ship, it seems that you can only dive into the deep sea by 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 and you can use the perspective ability to explore.
At that time, this ancient shipwreck will have no secrets at all, and everything will be clearly presented in his own eyes.
Is this a battleship or an armed merchant ship? Is the cabin 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 as he thinks, Ye Tian immediately said:
"Kenny, don't explore with underwater robots. All that is done is useless. If something goes wrong, it will not be 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 going to take a sightseeing submarine to explore the water yourself? Isn't it a bit dangerous?"
Matisse asked in surprise ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ slightly worried,
Pique and the others were also quite surprised, turning their heads to look over.
And those two Hollywood stars, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, a beam of joy flashed in their eyes!
Finally I can dive into the deep sea to explore the shipwreck. Although it is night, the scenery in the ocean is discounted somewhat, but it is also very worth looking forward to.
Ye Tian nodded affirmatively, smiled and said:
"Yes, I am going to take a sightseeing submarine to the sea to explore the sunken ship by myself. 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 submarine sunken ship, I can basically figure out its original purpose, whether it is worth exploring, and whether it is worth our efforts to explore."
"Okay! Steven, now that you have decided, let's start!"
Matisse nodded, without raising any objections.
Afterwards, Kenny and Raymond cooperated and slowly lifted the underwater robot from the depths of the sea floor.
Pique and Matisse left the main deck cabin to check the sightseeing submarine!
A new underwater journey is about to begin!
