Chapter 2104 The Mediterranean Underwater World
In order to avoid people's eyes, the high-speed speedboat driven by Ye Tian did not turn on the lights, and the speed was relatively slow, like a black shadow gliding over the sea.
In the blink of an eye, the high-speed speedboat disappeared into the darkness and disappeared from Matisse and Charlie's field of vision.
In Ye Tian's eyes, the exploration fleet moored a few hundred meters away behind was like a lighthouse in the dark, extremely eye-catching, and there was no need to worry about not finding it when he came back.
Then sailed a few hundred meters to the west, and Ye Tian increased the speed of the speedboat to about twenty knots and began to speed on the sea.
The Mediterranean dolphins that followed the high-speed speedboat also raised their speed and swam quickly around the speedboat.
From time to time, they would jump out of the water and fly into the air, showing Ye Tian their vigorous and graceful posture, like a group of children who invite pets.
These elves of the sea are veritable swimmers, and the speed of about twenty knots is not difficult for them at all.
While urging the speedboat to speed at high speed, Ye Tian had already turned on the perspective, like a high-precision scanner, and began to scan the sea surface in front of the speedboat, on the left and right sides, and the situation under the sea surface.
After his trip to Greece, the distance he saw in the light of antique artworks at this time had successfully broken through to about 260 meters, and his perspective ability had also improved a lot.
When the object is turned into clear and transparent water, his vision is almost unobstructed, and he can easily see the bottom of the sea at a depth of more than 200 meters.
According to the information contributed by the Bennano family, the ancient Roman shipwreck treasure is located at the top of a ridge about 150 or 60 meters above the sea, which is exactly within the perspective range.
Because of this, Ye Tian would take advantage of the night to come out to explore alone, which would undoubtedly greatly speed up the speed of finding and salvaging this shipwreck treasure, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
As far as the eye can see, the darkness in front of the speedboat, on the left and right sides, and the clear water with gentle waves, can be seen through in an instant.
The next moment, a beautiful ocean world appeared in Ye Tian's eyes, and the picture was extremely clear.
The first thing that broke into Ye Tian's field of vision was a group of flying fish that were escaping from dolphins, and the dolphins chasing them were naturally the lovely Mediterranean dolphins.
When Ye Tian's gaze passed through this group of flying fish, these guys who fled for their lives seemed to sense the existence of aura, their speed dropped suddenly, and they began to look around to find the source of aura.
For them, the imminent threat to their lives seemed to be insignificant, and finding the source of this aura was the most important thing.
In fact, they don't have to worry about being attacked again.
As soon as Ye Tian's eyes penetrated into the sea, the group of Mediterranean spotted dolphins that were chasing flying fish chirped happily.
Next, these cute guys directly abandoned the group of flying fish and began to swim quickly following Ye Tian's sight, enjoying the baptism of aura.
Those flying fish also reacted very quickly, they followed closely behind the group of spotted dolphins, swimming quickly, chasing Ye Tian's sight, and flying out of the sea from time to time, exposing themselves to the night sky.
At this moment, the hunting relationship between the spotted dolphin and the flying fish seems to no longer exist, and they have become friends who pursue the same, and the picture is extremely harmonious and beautiful.
The perspective continued, and the next thing that appeared in Ye Tian's eyes was a small group of anchovies.
When these guys were swept by the gaze, they seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then they swam quickly towards the sea, one by one they showed great excitement, ignoring the natural enemies who were speeding at high speed on the sea.
Continuing to look down, several egg yolk jellyfish endemic to the Mediterranean Sea broke into Ye Tian's field of vision.
These creatures glow with a faint yellow light, floating in the water, like ghosts, worthy of their other name, Medusa!
In ancient Greek mythology and legend, Medusa was the petrified gorgon banshee, and in the Mediterranean, the yolk jellyfish was the banshee of the sea.
When Ye Tian's gaze passed through these guys, these egg yolk jellyfish instantly sensed the existence of the aura and reacted quickly.
The colorful and numerous tentacles under them suddenly opened up, like beautiful flowers blooming in the ocean, which was fascinating!
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle and complain.
"If there is really Poseidon in the ocean, seeing such a beautiful Medusa, maybe he will have an affair with her, even if he risks being petrified"
After the egg yolk jellyfish, Ye Tian saw two more sea turtles that were comfortable and swimming slowly, and they were two huge red sea turtles.
The reactions of these two creatures, like their movements, were very slow, or rather sluggish.
It wasn't until Ye Tian's gaze swept over them and entered the deeper part of the ocean that the two simple guys felt the aura and turned their heads to look at the sea together.
Due to the high salinity of 36 to 40 parts per thousand, and the lack of phosphates and nitrates, which are essential for many marine life, the Mediterranean Sea has very little plankton and naturally not many marine life.
Compared to the Caribbean Sea that I have visited before, the scenery on the Mediterranean coast and islands is not inferior or even more beautiful, but the underwater world here is not as colorful and beautiful as the Caribbean.
Of course, this is only relatively.
Compared with the harsh conditions and turbulent undercurrents of the English Channel, the underwater world of the Mediterranean Sea can be called an ocean paradise!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian's line of sight had penetrated the darkness, swept through the endless sea water, and reached a depth of about two hundred and twenty meters below the surface of the sea.
When the line of sight arrived here, he could no longer move an inch, and this depth was the maximum perspective depth of Ye Tian in the seawater.
Further down, there was nothing to see except for the darkness that could not be seen and the endless sea water.
Get off the wrong foot!
For the first time in perspective exploration, Ye Tian did not see the ridge towering on the bottom of the sea and very close to the sea, and naturally did not find any trace of the treasure of the ancient Roman shipwreck.
But that was just the beginning, and it wasn't enough to disappoint him.
The speedboat was still speeding at high speed on the sea, getting farther and farther away from the location of the exploration fleet, and Ye Tian's gaze swept to another sea in front of him.
And where he passed, the world below the surface of the sea, was completely boiling.
All the marine creatures that live in water depths above 220 meters, whether they are swimming around or resting, are awakened.
Like the group of spotted dolphins on the sea, after feeling the presence of the aura, these guys also moved, trying to chase this refreshing aura.
Unfortunately, most of them weren't fast enough or too slow to keep track of the aura that had plowed through the ocean.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of minutes have passed.
On the calm sea, a dazzling beam of light suddenly pierced through the darkness and shone from a distance.
Immediately afterward, another roar came, and a high-speed speedboat rushed into the sea like an arrow from the string, completely shattering the quiet night.
No need to ask, this is the high-speed speedboat driven by Ye Tian.
It was about a dozen nautical miles away from the location of the exploration fleet, which was already beyond the visual range, so naturally there was no need to hide again.
Ye Tian turned on the searchlight on the high-speed speedboat early, illuminating the sea surface with strong light, which was easier to explore and safer.
According to the hydrological data collected, there should be a ridge in this sea area, and it is also the first ridge from east to west in the target sea area where the treasure of the ancient Roman shipwreck is located, so it is natural to pay attention to it.
After driving the speedboat into this sea area, Ye Tian immediately lowered his speed, reduced the speed to about ten knots, and began to carefully explore the underwater world beneath the surface of the sea.
In just a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face at the same time.
The hydrological data collected was correct, as the perspective line of sight went deep into the bottom of the sea, a mountain range towering on the bottom of the sea immediately appeared in Ye Tian's field of vision.
And that's what surprised him.
The night is getting deeper and deeper!
On the Blue Princess, Matisse and Charlie had not returned to the cabin to rest, they were sitting in the main deck parlor, drinking coffee and chatting.
"Steven has been out for more than two hours, I don't know if he has found it? I really hope he can bring back a pleasant surprise!"
Charlie whispered, and turned to look at the night outside the ship.
"Don't worry, Steven is a very amazing guy, he can always create one miracle after another, I believe this time is no exception, he will never run empty, he will definitely gain something!"
Matisse continued, his words full of confidence.
As soon as his words fell, Ye Tian's voice suddenly came from the wireless invisible earphones.
"Matisse, I'm coming back, tell those guys who are on the vigil, don't treat me as an enemy, you guys pick me up at the aft swim platform of the Blue Princess, you still have to keep a low profile, it's better not to alarm anyone!"
Hearing this, Matisse immediately got up from the sofa and said with joy:
"Understood, Steven, welcome back, I'll inform the vigil guys"
With that, Matisse and Charlie walked briskly out of the main deck parlor and headed straight for the aft swim platform.
At the same time, there was a sudden and moving squeak in the sea breeze.
It was the call of a Mediterranean dolphin, and there were so many more of them than before.
