Two Aurora mini-submarines and two underwater robots are in place, and the salvage operation will begin immediately.

Ye Tian got up from the sofa and went straight to the control center next to the main deck living room, ready to remotely direct the salvage operation in the depths of the seabed.

As for those experts and scholars, they were all left in the main deck living room on the grounds that the space in the control center was limited, and they could only watch the real-time images from the bottom of the sea through the large-screen TV.

As soon as he entered the control center and closed the glass hatch, Ye Tian immediately whispered through the invisible wireless earphones:

"Matisse, when salvaging that life-size marble statue of a woman, it is important to remember not to take a frontal image of the statue, and preferably not to expose the side profile of the statue, so as not to reveal it.

These experts and scholars in the fleet are very sharp-eyed, and if they see the side profile of the female body statue, they are likely to guess the origin of the human body statue, and they will definitely fry the pot at that time.

You say hello to Chandler and ask them to cooperate, and I'm sure those guys won't say no, and the female statue is now facing down, lying in that tattered box.

After using the robotic arm to break through the box, you immediately cover the statue with rope nets, and then clean up the coral debris and sand around the statue, and we can't be too careful about this statue.

As for the bronze head of the ancient Greek philosophical giant Socrates, as well as the other unknown bronze head, there is no need to cover it up when salvage, anyway, those two heads are also rusty, and nothing can be seen for the time being."

"Understood, Steven, don't worry, leave it to us, nothing will go wrong"

Mattis answered, and ended the call.

Next, Ye Tian sat down in front of the workbench and began to remotely direct the salvage operation of the shipwreck treasure in the depths of the seabed.

The first to be salvaged were the two bronze heads, the bronze head of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, and the other unknown bronze head.

Salvage these two bronze heads, in fact, it is not too difficult, they are not very heavy, and they are very strong, so you don't have to worry about breakage.

In the previous exploration operation, Ye Tian and the others had already found out the exact location of the two bronze heads, and did some preliminary cleaning work.

Now for salvage, it's just a matter of cleaning up the remaining reefs and seaweed, and then loading the two bronze heads into the rope nets.

In fact, Mattis and his family followed this process to carry out salvage operations.

Piloting two mini-submarines, they quickly cleaned the coral reefs and seaweed from the outside of the two statues, as well as the tattered wooden crates, revealing two rusty bronze statues.

Next, the two bronze heads, which had been sleeping in the depths of the ocean for more than 2,000 years, were put into two small rope nets, just waiting to surface and see the light of day.

The next object to be salvaged is the life-size female body statue, which is also the most valuable treasure in this ancient Roman shipwreck.

Mattis and his team drove two mini-submarines, hovering next to the reef where the statue was located, and began to use their robotic arms to clean up the seaweed of the remaining reefs.

In less than ten minutes, the small coral reef had been almost cleared, revealing the wooden boxes underneath.

The wooden box had been soaked in seawater for more than 2,000 years, and with the decomposition of marine life, even though it had been very strong, sturdy, and made of excellent wood, it had rotted by this time.

Without much effort, the wooden box was dismantled by two small submarines using their own mechanical arms, revealing the female human statue contained inside.

At this moment, the live broadcast screen suddenly changed to a long-range view of the salvage site, which was taken with a high-water underwater camera carried on the deep diving decompression station.

This is deliberate, and the two live broadcast teams from the United States are very cooperative.

In fact, they can't do it if they don't cooperate.

The operation to salvage this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure will continue for more than 20 days, and they don't want to ask for trouble, unless they want to end the live broadcast today!

Of course, the sudden switch of the live broadcast camera will inevitably attract some dissatisfied voices, but nothing will change.

Using the mechanical grippers that come with the two mini-submarines, Mattis and his team quickly cleaned up coral reef debris and some seaweed that had fallen on the statues, as well as the fragments of the wooden crates that connected the coral city.

Immediately afterwards, the marble statue was covered by Matisse with a rope net with a counterweight ball to avoid early exposure.

After completing this action, the two mini-submarines gave way to the side, making room for the two underwater robots to operate.

The two underwater robots then landed on the sand and, using their long robotic arms, walked through the sand beneath the statue, tying slings to several different locations on the marble statue.

The positions of these slings have been carefully calculated to lift the statue without causing any damage to the precious marble statue.

Even the slings are made of high-strength nylon slings about three fingers wide instead of steel cables.

After several slings were tied, an alloy hook connected to the Intrepid by a steel cable slowly hung down from the sea above and hung onto the marble statue.

At the same time, Matisse and his wife were not idle, and they laid a large and sturdy rope net in the sand next to them to salvage the three statues.

After setting up the rope nets, Witters, a deep-sea salvage expert, manipulated an underwater robot to hang several slings attached to the female human statue on the alloy hook.

The next moment, the marble female figure was lifted smoothly and gently lowered to the center of the rope net on the sand, followed by the two bronze heads.

This sequence of actions was done beautifully, and there were no incidents.

At the moment when the female body statue was placed in the center of the rope net, Ye Tian, who was staying in the sea control center, immediately let out a sigh of relief and waved his fist excitedly.

And in the depths of the sea, the huge rope net had been retracted upwards, and the three statues were wrapped in the net and hung with the hooks.

Immediately afterward, Mattis and his team drove two mini-submarines close to the rope net, and used a robotic arm to start injecting air into the empty buoyancy bags outside the rope net to increase buoyancy and avoid accidents.

As a large amount of air entered, the empty buoyancy bags quickly puffed up, and slowly brought the rope net up, and kept pulling it towards the surface of the sea.

Seeing that the rope net was about to be pulled up from the ridge by many buoyancy bags, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Matisse, pause the filling of air into the buoyancy bag, and you will check the netting one last time, especially where the net is attached to the hook, and there must be no problems.

Once the rope net is hoisted, if something goes wrong and breaks or slips off the hook, it's a big problem, and those three priceless statues are likely to fall into the deep sea!"

"Understood, Steven, we're going to check the nets and get rid of any hidden dangers."

Matisse responded, and then sprang into action, examining the inverted funnel-shaped rope net.

Within a few minutes, the results were in, there were no problems, and the rope net was safe and sturdy, and it was more than capable of salvaging the shipwreck's treasure.

After determining the results, Matisse and the others began to inject air into several buoyancy bags.

In just a few moments, the huge rope net, which contained three priceless statues and was full of hope, slowly floated away from the ridge that lay at the bottom of the sea.

Around this huge rope net, there are two Aurora mini-submarines, two state-of-the-art underwater robots, and a deep decompression station full of various supplies and equipment.

Several powerful beams of light shot from these high-tech exploration equipment firmly covered the huge rope net, and the scene was spectacular.

This scene was like a sci-fi blockbuster, and it immediately attracted a wave of exclamation.

"Wow! This scene is so spectacular, so cool! Steven is so willing to put down his book, no wonder he can find so many treasures, and few people can compare to the courage of this big investment!"

"If this weren't a live broadcast of the shipwreck treasure salvage operation, seeing these images, I would definitely think that this was a newly released sci-fi blockbuster, it was too shocking."

Just when people were amazed, Ye Tian's voice suddenly came out, and it clearly reached the ears of countless people.

"Guys, hang those three statues from the sea, let them shine again as they should, and give the world a great surprise."

As the order came out, the huge rope net suspended above the ridge at the bottom of the sea was slowly lifted and came towards the sea little by little.

At the same time, the two mini-submarines piloted by Mattis, as well as two underwater robots, remained around the rope net and floated up to the surface together.

Only the deep-diving decompression station full of various materials and equipment remains in the depths of the seabed.

At this moment, everyone in the exploration fleet on the sea, as well as countless people on the live broadcast end, are staring at this slowly rising huge rope net and the three statues in the rope net.
