Chapter 2102 The Treasure of a Shipwreck on a Sea Ridge
After severing those obnoxious tails, the rest of the exploration fleet's voyage was smooth sailing, without any further interruptions.
When the convoy left the range of Greek territorial waters about 50 nautical miles, Ye Tian ordered all ships to turn off the ship's radar and replace them with their own portable radar system navigation to achieve the purpose of concealing their whereabouts.
This can only deceive some ordinary ships trying to track the fleet, and as for the countries of the Mediterranean coast, they must have kept a close eye on the whereabouts of the fleet, and knew the location and direction of the fleet.
Add to that the ongoing live broadcasts of the National Geographic Channel and NBC TV, and the move to turn off the ship's radar is more effective than nothing.
In fact, the countries bordering the Mediterranean were quick to react.
Soon after Mattis and the others started to drive away the ships that were following them, many official ships flying various flags set off from the ports of various countries one after another and quickly headed for the exploration fleet.
However, they are still far from the exploration fleet, and it will take a long time before they catch up with the exploration fleet or reach the waters where the ancient Roman shipwreck treasures are located.
That's enough, what Ye Tian wants is this time difference.
During this time, he was able to calmly set up his arrangements to prevent the ships coming from behind from interfering with the exploration.
In the blink of an eye, the day will pass again.
As the sun sets, the Mediterranean, which was once blue and transparent, is now dressed in a golden coat, sparkling and beautiful.
After more than a dozen hours of non-stop sailing, the exploration fleet has penetrated deep into the heart of the Mediterranean, surrounded by only endless waters, nothing else, not even the shadow of an island.
And it's far away from the busy Mediterranean commercial routes, and there are no ships in sight, so it's very quiet.
For this quiet ocean, the arrival of the exploration fleet is like an uninvited guest, directly shattering the silence here, and it seems a little discordant.
The fiery sunset on the horizon finally fell below the surface of the sea and disappeared from everyone's field of vision, and the twilight gradually rose.
In the lounge area of the Blue Princess flybridge deck, everyone stood up and prepared to leave the flybridge deck and go to the restaurant on the lower level to eat.
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and said with a smile:
"Matisse, inform the captains, prepare to stop the ship, we have arrived at the eastern end of the target sea area, next, let's go have dinner first, then have a good night's rest, and start the exploration operation tomorrow."
"Understood, Steven, I'll let you know."
Mattis's voice came over the intercom, exuding excitement.
Not only him, but David and Jason, who were also on the flybridge deck, and the other company employees, all turned their heads to look, and everyone was excited.
When Ye Tian and Mattis ended the call, Jason, the kid, immediately couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, where is that ancient Roman shipwreck treasure? If it is really in this sea, then what are you waiting for? Go directly to the sea to explore and salvage, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Everyone has come all the way, it is like coming to the Mediterranean for a vacation, there is no consumption at all, everyone is in good shape, and there should be no problem in directly exploring the action."
When the words fell, several other company employees also echoed a few words, the meaning was the same as Jason's, and they were all a little impatient.
Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then shook his head with a smile and said:
"Guys, don't worry, since we have successfully arrived at the target sea, as long as this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure does exist, then we will definitely be able to find it, and no one can stop it.
In fact, the information I got about this shipwreck treasure only has a general direction, and there are no precise coordinates, so we still have a lot of work to do if we want to find this shipwreck treasure.
In addition, this is the Ionian Sea, which is the deepest sea area in the Mediterranean Sea and the most earthquake-prone area, and the hydrological conditions are very complex.
Only after we know the hydrological conditions here and the exact depth of the sea can we go to the sea to explore the operation, after all, safety comes first, treasure is second."
Hearing this, David and Jason all nodded, naturally there was no objection.
As he spoke, the speed of the exploration fleet had slowed down, and finally stopped at the surface of the sea.
And everyone in this exploration fleet, as well as countless viewers on the live broadcast side, have already learned at this time that this team exploring the treasures of ancient Roman shipwrecks has arrived in the target sea area.
However, because the coordinates of the fleet were not given in the live broadcast, people could not determine the specific location of the exploration fleet for the time being, so they could only guess secretly.
With the sound of the iron chains, the ships of the exploration fleet dropped their anchors and nailed them firmly to the surface of the sea.
As soon as the fleet came to a standstill, several speedboats were dropped on the superyacht on which the experts and scholars were riding, as well as 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 the hosts of the two live broadcast groups, and galloped 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 she entered the living room, Maria, the curator of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, is this the area where the treasure of the ancient Roman shipwreck is located? You know, this is the Ionian Sea, the deepest part of the Mediterranean, how did you find that shipwreck treasure?"
"That's right, the deepest part of the Ionian Sea is more than 4,000 meters, and the general depth is about one or two thousand meters, don't tell me that you have thoroughly explored the Ionian Sea before you found the treasure of the shipwreck"
Another archaeologist chimed in, his eyes full of doubt.
Ye Tian looked at the two, then smiled and said:
"Maria, Leon, you don't have to worry, when everyone is here, I'll explain, save having to repeat it many times"
Hearing this, what else could Maria do, they could only suppress their curiosity and wait patiently.
As he spoke, all the experts and scholars who rushed to the Blue Princess, as well as the hosts of the two live broadcast groups, had gathered in the main deck living room and sat down.
After everyone sat down, Ye Tian entered the topic.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the sea where the fleet is currently located is the target of our intrepid exploration company in the Mediterranean, the sea where the treasure of the ancient Roman shipwreck is located.
To be precise, this is the eastern end of the sea where the ancient Roman shipwreck treasure is located, and from here fifty nautical miles to the west, the ancient Roman shipwreck treasure may be found anywhere, we are sure to find it.
Everyone must have understood that we don't have the exact coordinates of this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure in our hands, only a general direction, whether we can find this shipwreck treasure or not, or two things.
The reason why this is happening is very simple, because the information about this shipwreck treasure came from a third party, not from us who discovered it ourselves, because it is to be kept secret, I will not say the source of the information"
At this point, Maria suddenly interjected and repeated the question she had just asked.
After she finished speaking, Ye Tian immediately said:
"The Ionian Sea is known to be the deepest part of the Mediterranean, with frequent seismic activity, with a maximum depth of more than 4,000 meters and extremely complex hydrological conditions.
The seabed topography in this sea area is undulating, and the sea basins and ridges are staggered, and the water depth between the bow and stern of the ships sailing in this sea area can even differ by as much as four or five hundred meters.
The ancient Roman shipwreck treasure happened to be located at the top of a sea ridge, but it was not too deep, and by chance, it was discovered and ushered in the dawn of rediscovery.
It's a pity that the guy who discovered this shipwreck treasure died at the bottom of the sea during a deep diving before he could organize forces to salvage this shipwreck treasure.
After a few rounds, the information of this shipwreck treasure fell into my hands, so our company's exploration team appeared in this sea area to explore this shipwreck treasure."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but roll their eyes and complain to themselves one by one.
It's so infuriating! God has once again favored this lucky bastard, but turned a blind eye to everyone else, is there any reason for it?
The performance of everyone at the scene was all seen by Ye Tian.
But he didn't see it, and continued his performance.
"It's dusk, so let's have a good dinner and a good night's rest, and tomorrow when the sun rises, the exploration will begin.
Once we have figured out the hydrological conditions of this area, we will explore every ridge here, and I believe it will not be long before we find the treasure of the shipwreck,......"
Next, Ye Tian continued to introduce the relevant situation of this shipwreck treasure and the follow-up action arrangements.
Of course, what he said was irrelevant, and he didn't reveal a word about the information that needed to be kept confidential.
As time passed, the sky outside grew darker and darker, and the darkness gradually swallowed up this beautiful blue ocean.
However, the ships of the exploration fleet are brightly lit and full of laughter and excitement at this time, like lighthouses standing in the dark night.
