Chapter 1494: The Rusty Metal Box
"Steven, Matisse, come and see, there is something special about this wooden crate, and it is likely to be a new discovery!"
Raymond's voice came through the headphones, exuding excitement.
Hearing this, Ye Tian and Matisse immediately turned their heads to look at him, and then swam towards where Raymond was.
At this time, they were already in front of the fourth pile of wooden crates covered by rope nets, and they were investigating these crates, and they had already made some gains, and found three crates of Nacui gold one after another.
In addition to the previously discovered nano cui gold, in this hold alone, they have found thirty boxes of dazzling nano cui gold.
Based on the calculation of ten trapezoidal gold ingots per box, each weighing fifteen kilograms, the weight of these nanocui gold they found was as high as four and a half tons, which is very staggering!
If the current market conditions are used to convert this gold into US dollars, the value of these nano cui gold is as high as 210 million US dollars, which is an astronomical amount!
What's more, this is just a cargo hold that has not been checked yet, there are several cargo holds behind, Ye Tian and their footsteps to find the treasure have not stopped, and surprises are still appearing!
With the appearance of boxes of Nacui gold, the impact of this treasure hunt is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more eyes are gathered in this sea area, and each gaze is extremely hot!
Driven by greed, some ill-intentioned guys, organizations, and even countries have launched actions to try to get a piece of the pie, and it is naturally good to be able to monopolize this shipwreck treasure!
At the same time, Ye Tian's counter-self-defense action has also been launched, and the plan is well-planned and impeccable!
Outside the live broadcast screen, there are already turbulent undercurrents, just like the hydrological situation of this sea area, under the calm sea, there are countless violent undercurrents hidden under the sea!
Ye Tian, who was deep under the sea and was exploring in the cabin of a cargo ship, was not worried at all about someone attacking the idea of this shipwreck treasure.
Has he ever encountered this kind of thing less?
No matter who the other party is, judging from the current situation, it is basically impossible to rush to this sea area immediately.
Even if they arrived in time, they didn't dare to send people to dive deep to snatch this shipwreck treasure when they were not familiar with the hydrological conditions.
When Ye Tian's exploration operation is over, the operation to salvage the treasure of the sunken ship will be launched overnight, striving to salvage this Nacui gold and jewelry diamond as quickly as possible, so as not to give others a chance to take advantage of it!
As long as these Nacui gold and jewels and diamonds are salvaged out of the water and put into the Brave Dreadnought, then even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, don't want to get involved in this huge wealth!
This is the waters of the high seas, the exploration fleet itself is not weak, and there is also the live broadcast team of the National Geographic Channel here, and countless eyes of the world are focused here.
In the face of this situation, I believe that not many people or countries dare to ransack the exploration fleet and sack Ye Tian with open fire, which is also one of the reasons why Ye Tian engaged in this treasure hunt live broadcast!
In addition, there are two American warships nearby, those American GIs are not decorations, since they take the money, they have to do things!
With a Burke-class destroyer and a supply-class fast combat support ship standing to cheer on, who would dare to take the initiative to attack the Brave Dreadnought?
After the gold and jewelry diamonds were salvaged from the water and the inventory was completed, Ye Tian would immediately transport them away by helicopter.
Next, he plans to use the US military's air bases in Europe and US military transport planes to transport these batches of Nacui gold and jewelry diamonds directly back to New York, so that others can't even touch the hair!
He had done the same thing in the Caribbean, and he was familiar with it, and the price he paid was nothing more than a sum of money, and it was not worth mentioning at all!
When this batch of gold and jewels arrives in New York, everything will be fine, and no one will be worried!
Because they are shipwreck treasures from the waters of the high seas, even if someone sues in New York, the US courts have no jurisdiction over it, and can only let Ye Tian swallow this huge wealth alone!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and Matisse swam to Raymond's side, and after using rope nets to stabilize their bodies, they immediately looked at the wooden box that Raymond was referring to.
From the outside, the wooden crate was indistinguishable from the others, with a few bumps on it, and a residual text indicating that it once contained gum arabic!
"Tell me, Raymond, what's so special about this crate!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes at the same time.
He knew better than anyone what was in this wooden box, and now it was just a show!
Raymond turned his head to look at Ye Tian and Matisse, then gently patted the wooden box under his hand, and said excitedly:
"This crate is obviously heavier than the crates that contain only sea water and debris, but it is much lighter than the crates that contain the gold of Natsui.
That's why I said that this box is a special case, according to my estimates, the weight of this wooden box is about eighty or ninety kilograms, I don't know what it contains!"
"In this way, the situation of this wooden crate is indeed quite special, let me feel its weight!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian swung his legs slightly, swam a little closer, and then reached out and gently pushed the wooden box.
As Raymond said, this box weighs only eighty or ninety kilograms, and the feel is significantly different from other boxes that have been checked before.
While retracting his right hand, Ye Tian pretended to be excited and said:
"The situation in this box is really different, it is likely to contain other things, maybe it is a jewelry diamond of higher value, let's open it and take a look!"
"Okay, Steven, let's open the box, and hopefully the contents of this box will surprise everyone!"
Raymond answered, and then cooperated with Matisse to begin dismantling the wooden crate.
At the same time, everyone's eyes lit up in front of the live broadcast, everyone stared at the live broadcast screen, stared at the slightly damaged wooden box, and their eyelids were reluctant to blink!
Without much effort, Matisse and Raymond easily pried open a board on the wooden box, and the contents of the box were immediately revealed.
There is no dazzling gold or a brilliant jewel and diamond.
Inside the box, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes were boxy cube metal boxes, staggered, and a small lock hung on each metal box!
Under the dual action of time and seawater, those metal boxes have been rusted, and so are the locks that lock the metal boxes, which are covered with rust and have long been scrapped!
Looking through the gaps in the wooden boards, you can see that the volume of those metal boxes is not large, the length, width, and height are only about 30 centimeters, but the materials are very sufficient, and they look quite strong!
It's not so much a metal box as a simple safe, which seems more appropriate, but I don't know what these safes contain!
After glancing at the situation in the box twice, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Pry open two more boards, and then take out the top metal box, let's see what is in that metal box? Maybe it's a huge surprise!"
"Understood, Steven, look at us"
Matisse answered, and then moved on again, continuing to pry the planks on the box.
After a while, they had finished their work, and Matisse took out a metal box from the box and handed it to Ye Tian.
After taking the metal box, Ye Tian was not in a hurry to open the box to see what it contained.
He first weighed the weight of the metal box, then looked at it carefully over and over again, and then said with a smile:
"I can feel that this metal box is not too heavy, and the contents inside obviously cannot be gold ingots, it must be something else, I don't know for the time being!
But I believe that what is contained in it must be worth a lot, otherwise Rommel and his men would not have been so cautious as to take a second line of insurance for it.
I'm curious, and I'm sure everyone is too, Matisse, cut this lock and let everyone see it!"
As he spoke, he turned the side of the metal box with the lock on it to Matisse.
"Okay, Steven"
Matisse nodded in response and immediately went into action.
In the blink of an eye, the rusty lock was cut in two, and the lock below fell to the bulkhead, and the upper half of the lock post was still hanging from the metal box.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian pinched the half-lock pillar, twisted it back and forth a few times, and after twisting it, he took it off the metal box!
