Chapter 1465 The Sealed Treasure Room
As everyone expected, the other box was also full of metal items, and the signal from the metal detector was very strong.
After detecting the two box-shaped objects, metal detectors detected a series of metal objects in a corner of the captain's quarters and on the bulkhead that had been turned into a floor due to the capsizing.
In particular, at an angle between the floor and the bulkhead, the signal detected by the metal detector was very strong, indicating that a large amount of metal was piled up there.
Through the high-definition camera carried by the underwater robot, Ye Tian and the others clearly saw that there were two divided boxes, and the corners of the walls had been filled in and even bulged upward.
Through the cracks in the broken box, everyone seemed to see a glimmer of golden light, flashing on the big screen TV, quite dazzling!
Obviously, during the sinking of the battleship, because it was caught in the undercurrent, several chests full of gold and silver treasures placed in the captain's room tumbled violently and collided.
By the time the battleship sank to the bottom of the sea, some of the boxes had already fallen apart and completely shattered!
The gold and silver treasures that had been in those chests were scattered all over the cabin.
The corridor outside the captain's room, and the seabed outside the ship, must have been scattered with a lot of gold and silver treasures!
Other chests were more fortunate, and although they also survived the violent impact, they were relatively intact, the two chests found earlier.
Not surprisingly, this series of discoveries once again drew cheers.
Kenny and them, who manipulated the underwater robots to explore, and Ye Tian, who was in the living room on the main deck of the Brave Fearless, everyone was cheering and high-fived each other!
Even Chandler and the guys in the live broadcast team were equally excited and smiling brightly.
Although this shipwreck treasure has nothing to do with them, they are also quite excited to witness the discovery process of this shipwreck treasure with their own eyes!
After a brief celebration, the exploration continues.
Soon, the underwater robot found a hatch on the bulkhead on the side of the captain's cabin, which was about 1.6 meters high and about 1.23 meters wide, leading to a cabin next door.
It's a pity that this hatch is closed, there is not a single gap, and no holes have been found in the bulkhead, so the wireless remote control underwater robot cannot enter at all!
Seeing this, Kenny and the others immediately manipulated the underwater robot to leave the captain's quarters and return to the outside hallway again, attempting to enter through the main entrance of the next cabin.
The result was the same, the hatch was closed and there was nothing broken in the hatch, allowing the underwater robot to enter or get a peek inside the cabin.
Next, Kenny and the others maneuver the underwater robot back to the captain's room, get out of the broken porthole of the captain's room, and go outside the ship to see if they can get into the cabin from the outside!
Everyone was disappointed again, the cabin next door to the captain's cabin did not have a porthole, and the hull was quite intact, there were no holes from the shells, and there was still no chance to enter!
Later, Kenny maneuvered the underwater robot to look at the adjacent cabins, and tried to enter the cabin next to the captain's room, but was still not allowed to enter!
The cabin seemed to be very sturdy, or specially reinforced.
Even though the ship had been violently attacked and then madly ravaged by the raging undercurrents of the sea, the cabin was unscathed and undamaged!
Faced with this situation, Kenny and the others have no choice but to give up and manipulate the underwater robot to continue exploring elsewhere.
As for the mysterious cabin, they can only wait for Ye Tian and them to dive deep into the sea to do it themselves, use a hand-held chainsaw to break it, and see what treasures are hidden inside!
Although they didn't see the situation in that cabin, based on conjecture alone, everyone was basically sure that it was the treasure room that Ye Tian said, and it was likely that there was a large amount of gold and silver treasures hidden!
The exploration continues, and there are still many secrets to be discovered about this shipwreck!
With the movement of the radio-controlled underwater robot, the situation in this ancient warship appeared on the large-screen TV one by one and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
In the next few cabins, the underwater robots found a lot of rusty, crooked copper cannons, whole boxes of muskets, and gunpowder kegs!
In addition, there are many bones of sailors with twisted bodies and miserable deaths.
Some of these guys died under shells and muskets, some drowned, some died from impacts, and a few unlucky people were crushed to death by the dumped copper cannons, and to death they were crushed by the heavy copper cannons!
From the shape, specifications, and distribution of gun positions of those bronze cannons, Ye Tian quickly judged that this was a Galen sailing ship built in the mid-to-late seventeenth century!
Looking at the lower deck through and the size of the Galen ship, he could basically determine that this battleship was once part of the British Navy before it sank to the bottom of the sea!
As for who sank it, it was probably the French or the Spanish navy.
In the mid-to-late seventeenth century, in the Atlantic Ocean and other seas, Britain, France, and Spain, have always fought me and I fought you frantically at sea to compete for supremacy at sea!
Of course, there is also the possibility of a large group of pirates who are interested in making money, but this is very unlikely.
You know, this is the English Channel, just a stone's throw away from Britain and France, and not many pirates would dare to risk being hanged and attack British warships in this area!
In the blink of an eye, more than two hours passed.
Night has covered the area where the exploration fleet is located, and all the ships moored here are lit up, which is very beautiful!
In particular, the three big ships of the exploration fleet, when the lights are on, they are like three royal palaces floating on the sea, with neon flashes and brilliant lights!
Ye Tian, who was in the living room on the main deck of the Brave Fearless, and everyone in the live broadcast group, had no intention of enjoying the beautiful night view of the sea, and everyone was still staring intently at the picture on the large-screen TV in front of them.
In the past two hours, the orange radio-controlled underwater robot has thoroughly explored the shipwreck under the sea.
Except for the areas that could not be reached or entered, such as the sealed treasure room, everything else was spared, and even the sand around the wreck was explored.
As everyone suspected, in the sand and coral around the wreck, metal detectors have detected some signals one after another, most likely gold and silver treasures scattered from the ship, or guns and weapons!
During this time, the radio-controlled underwater drone returned to the parent body several times, recharged at the yellow cabled underwater robot, and then left again to continue exploring the wreck at the bottom of the sea.
As for the red cabled underwater robot, it has already completed its exploration mission, and Kenny and the others have recovered the deep-sea salvage ship Brave Intrepid.
Fifty meters behind the right side of the stern, below the sea surface, there is indeed an undercurrent gap that leads directly to the bottom of the sea, but the area is limited, and the shape is irregular, so it is not of much use!
What's more, the ocean floor was empty, and nothing was found.
After recording the water depth and coordinates of the undercurrent gap, the red cable underwater robot ended its work for the day.
"Steven, this underwater shipwreck, and the area around the shipwreck, have been explored, and we are ready to retrieve the two underwater robots and end this exploration operation.
Next, it is up to you to go to the depths of the ocean to lift the last veil that hangs over this shipwreck's treasure, and I am sure it will be an exciting time!"
Kenny's voice came over the walkie-talkie again, and the excitement was almost flying.
"Okay, Kenny, take back the underwater robots, be careful, you've worked hard, we'll take care of the rest!"
Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said with a smile, also quite excited.
As soon as the words fell, the orange wireless remote-controlled underwater robot began to slowly float, gradually moving away from the wreck lying at the bottom of the sea, allowing it to continue to sleep there!
Wait until tomorrow, this ancient warship, which has been sleeping at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, will see the light of day again, bringing a surprise to Ye Tian and a shock to the world!
Maybe you don't have to wait until tomorrow, tonight, this underwater shipwreck will appear in front of people's eyes.
Chandler raised his hand to look at the time, and then said excitedly:
"Steven, in half an hour, tonight's live broadcast will begin, I have a hunch that tonight's live broadcast will definitely cause a huge sensation and attract countless attention!"
Ye Tian looked at the wreck on the big-screen TV, nodded with a smile and said:
"Of course, that's exactly what I was looking forward to!"
