Chapter 1491: Golden Light
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour has passed.
Ye Tian and the others had already searched the first layer of cargo hold below the main deck and came to the second level of cargo hold, ready to explore the situation here.
In the first cargo hold, they still didn't find anything surprising, so to speak, nothing.
Although there were many wooden crates stacked in the first cargo hold, those crates were light and fluttering, and it was impossible to hold Nacui gold and jewels and diamonds in them.
When they pried open the crates, it turned out to be true.
The wooden crates contained only a few residues, one from gum arabic and one from olive oil, and as soon as the boxes were opened, the debris floated out and scattered into the sea.
Of course, the so-called light here is relatively speaking, not like on land, where there is only air and residue in the box, and there is no weight.
In addition to the residue, there is also a box of seawater in these wooden crates, which is not a light weight!
However, compared to the weight of gold and jeweled diamonds, the weight of sea water is not worth mentioning!
Because there was nothing in the wooden crate, Ye Tian and the others searched for this layer of cargo hold much faster.
At first, they also broke down the wooden crates, but they were full of debris and there were no surprises, but later they were able to make an accurate judgment based on the weight of the crates alone.
As you can imagine, all the wooden boxes on this floor, whether good or broken, are all light and fluttering, and there is no need to break them at all.
Seeing such results, many people can't help but feel disappointed.
Many of them even thought that Ye Tian was going to miss this time, and that the freighter only had gum arabic and olive in it, and there was no gold and jewels and diamonds.
Some guys who didn't like Ye Tian or had a grudge against him all began to high-five and celebrate, cheering loudly, and they were full of emotion, God finally opened his eyes!
For these guys, Ye Tian didn't bother to take care of them at all, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them!
It was all a warm-up before, and the show was about to begin.
After coming to the second cargo hold, Ye Tian did not take action immediately, he first quickly glanced at the crooked wooden boxes in the cargo hold, and then said through the wireless earphones:
"Matisse, Raymond, we've been diving to the bottom of the sea for more than an hour, pay attention to your physical fitness, if you feel tired, then rest for a while, there is time.
We're going to search this level of cargo hold soon, and before that, let's check the equipment we carry with us, focusing on checking the stock of oxygen cylinders.
If there is a problem with the equipment, or the oxygen stock is insufficient, immediately go to the five-seat Aurora submarine piloted by Miller to replace and replenish it, safety is the most important thing!"
"Understood, Steven, we don't have a problem with fitness, let's check the gear!"
Matisse and Raymond responded in unison, and began to check their diving gear.
Ye Tian was the same, and quickly took a look at the deep diving equipment on his body, just in case.
Everything is in good condition, the oxygen stock is enough to consume for nearly an hour, and physical fitness is not a problem, no different from when you just dived!
Immediately afterward, Matisse and Raymond were also checked, and there were no problems either.
"Okay, let's get to work, the same as before, the wooden crate with no weight is skipped, there is no need to break it, I believe there must be a surprise hidden in this cargo hold, just wait for us to find out!"
After speaking, Ye Tian swam out with his legs lightly and swam to the pile of wooden crates closest to him.
Matisse and Raymond followed, and both were full of confidence!
The pile of crates was also covered with a sturdy rope net, and there were two broken strands of cable in the middle, which were crushed by the toppled boxes!
It is precisely because of the rope nets and these cables that during the sinking of the freighter, although these boxes suffered violent bumps and staggered, they were generally relatively intact.
After coming to this pile of wooden boxes and using the rope net to stabilize his body, Ye Tian immediately reached out and pressed a wooden box in front of him, shook it slightly, and felt the weight of this box.
Unfortunately, the wooden crate was still empty, except for a box of seawater and some residues.
The goods that were once packed in this box were the famous North African specialty olives, and the same text messages remained on the outside of the box.
As soon as he got his hand, Ye Tian already understood that this was not what he was looking for.
He shook his head slightly, then reached out and pressed to the other wooden box next to him, ready to continue to test and continue acting, so that it was realistic!
At this moment, Raymond's excited voice suddenly came, and he trembled a little when he heard it.
"Steven, Matisse, come over and take a look, this wooden box is very heavy, and it can't be pushed at all, if it's correct, we should have found something!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian and Matisse immediately turned their heads to look at Raymond's side and quickly swam over there.
Swimming closer, the two of them reached out and grabbed the rope net, stabilized their figures, and then looked at the wooden crate under Raymond's hand!
It can be seen from the text information left on the outside of the wooden box that it contains olive oil, a specialty of North Africa, and it seems that there is no difference between the size of the box and the goods inside.
"Steven, Matisse, this box is definitely not filled with olive, even if it is not decomposed by marine organisms, it is impossible for olive to sink so much, let alone olive residue.
This box must contain metal products, if it is not weapons and ammunition, then it should be one of the ultimate goals of our visit to the English Channel this time, Nacui gold!"
Before the words fell, Ye Tian had reached out and pressed on the wooden box, and pushed it hard.
Sure enough!
The weight of that wooden box was extremely heavy, and even Ye Tian could hardly push that box without deliberately increasing his strength.
Without the slightest hesitation, while retracting his right hand, Ye Tian pretended to be excited and said:
"You're right, Raymond, this crate is probably the target of our treasure hunt, the gold that Rommel looted from North Africa!
What are you waiting for? Break open this box and see what treasure is inside, but don't completely dismantle this box, that will not be conducive to the next salvage work!"
"Okay, Steven, look at us, I love this job!"
Matisse and Raymond answered in unison and immediately went into action.
Ye Tian reached out and took the portable searchlight, and the powerful beam projected by the searchlight shrouded the wooden box!
At the same time, all the ships of the exploration fleet resounded with excited cheers.
Chandler was on the same with the seven Aurora submarines they were in, and everyone was cheering.
In front of countless live broadcasts, people were also excited and hotly discussed.
"I'll go! Could it be true that Steven found it? If that chest was really gold, then there's no doubt that God is with this lucky bastard again!"
"If that box is full of gold, it's worth at least a few million dollars, and I don't know how many such wooden crates there are in this freighter?
At the same time, people were all staring at the live broadcast screen and the wooden box that had been soaked in the sea water for more than 70 years, and their eyelids were reluctant to blink!
Although the shipwreck treasure has nothing to do with other people, it only belongs to Ye Tian and his treasure hunting company, but some people's eyes are still red, envious, jealous and hateful, and they have all kinds of emotions.
Without much effort, Matisse and Raymond teamed up to pry open a board of wood on the box, revealing the contents of the box.
The moment the wooden board was pried up, a dazzling golden light immediately flashed on the live broadcast screen, which made everyone a little dizzy, and they couldn't help but close their eyes.
When people opened their eyes again, they saw Ye Tian and the three of them high-fived each other.
Immediately afterwards, Matisse leaned down and carefully put his hands into the wooden box.
When he got up again, there was already one more item in his hands, which was a trapezoidal gold ingot about thirty centimeters long and weighing about ten kilograms, radiating a dazzling golden light!
The swastika imprinted in the middle of the trapezoidal gold ingot is extremely eye-catching under the glare of the searchlight!
"Oh my God, that's Nacui gold!"
Countless live broadcasts were completely boiling, and the exclamations immediately sounded wildly!
