After admiring the small coral reef outside the submarine for a while, Ye Tian retracted his gaze and said through the radio:

"Matisse, you clean up this ancient Greek war dolphin, and then mark it, and salvage it later, you must be careful when cleaning it, try not to damage this treasure, it still has some value.

After the cleanup, we continue to explore, and we must explore every coral reef we encounter, even every rock on the ridge that rises upwards, and take a three-dimensional image.

I have a strong hunch that we will soon be able to discover those ancient shipwrecks, the statues of the ancient Greek or Hellenistic periods, and other antique works of art, which will be a great surprise to the whole world."

"No problem, Steven, leave this ancient Greek war dolphin to us, we will be able to clean up this treasure in no time"

Matisse nodded in response, and the whole person was about to fly with excitement.

Next, Ye Tian told Mattis a few more words, and then took the seven Aurora small submarines to the side and returned to the position just now.

As soon as he returned here, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and whispered to Chandler:

"Chandler, you cut the live feed to the cleanup over there, and turn off the live mic, I have some things to set up, and it needs to be kept strictly confidential"

Hearing this, Chandler was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, did not ask more, and naturally could not refuse.

He knew very well that it would be superfluous to ask, so why bother to do it multiple times.

In the blink of an eye, the National Geographic Channel's live TV screen has been switched, and the live microphone in the seven-seat small Aurora submarine has also been turned off.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian said through the invisible wireless earphones:

"Jason, you immediately contact the U.S. Embassy in Greece and the U.S. Embassy in Italy, and ask them to come forward and help us coordinate relations with the two countries and prevent these two countries from playing any tricks.

Walker, inform all the guys to raise the alert level to the highest level, and in front of us, no ships will be allowed to intrude into the operating waters, and say hello to the amphibious assault ship Bataan."

"Understood, Steven"

Jason and Walker's voices came one after another, and they were both very excited.

At this time, Chandler and his photographer were all stunned, and their eyes were almost flying out of their sockets!

It's an exaggeration that Steven, a cunning guy, has so many backhands and is related to the amphibious assault ships of the US Navy cruising in the Mediterranean!

Those guys who fought the idea of this shipwreck treasure have too late to evacuate now, otherwise they will definitely die without a place to bury, and they will be trapped alive by Steven in this sea area!

Ye Tian turned his head to look at Chandler and them, then turned his head and said with a smile:

"Guys, let's get started, those ancient shipwrecks that have been sleeping at the bottom of this sea for a thousand years or two are waiting for us somewhere ahead!"

As soon as the words fell, the mini-submarine moved, and the live broadcast of the National Geographic Channel quickly cut back.

The exploration continues, and it's business as usual.

Ye Tian and they drove the submarine and began to explore forward little by little, and the mini submarine that Matisse was riding in was cleaning up the various corals on the dolphins of the ancient Greek war.

At this time, countless hot eyes were gathered on this sea area and on the two small submarines that were exploring the bottom of the sea.

Not surprisingly, there are many envious, even jealous, eyes, from the field of antique art collection, as well as from the field of historical archaeology!

Greece, in particular, was already shaking the country by this time, and almost everyone was paying attention to the exploration and salvage of the ancient Roman shipwreck.

Naturally, tremendous pressure from all sectors of Greek society has been surging and weighing heavily on the heads of the Greek authorities.

It didn't take long for Mattis and his team to complete the initial cleanup.

A rusty ancient Greek war dolphin appeared to the world for the first time after a lapse of one or two thousand years.

When this ancient Greek war dolphin appeared on the live broadcast screen, many professionals in front of the live broadcast suddenly boiled again.

In particular, the experts and scholars in the exploration fleet, where can they still sit still, they have flocked to the stern of the yacht, trying to take a speedboat to the Brave Intrepid to participate in this exploration operation.

However, before receiving Ye Tian's order, the brave and fearless explored how the company's employees and security personnel could cooperate with them.

After arguing with reason, nothing came of it.

These experts and scholars could only return to the living room angrily, continue to watch live TV, and pointed at Ye Tian in the live broadcast screen and scolded, helpless!

Following Matisse and them, Ye Tian and they soon found out.

"Steven, judging from the 3D scanned images, there should be a statue hidden under this beautiful coral, and this statue does not look small."

Vitesse said, pointing to a coral reef outside the submarine, his eyebrows fluttering with excitement.

On several LCD screens inside the submarine, a three-dimensional scan of the coral reef was presented, which basically accurately outlined the outline of the sculpture.

This is a figure sculpture about one meter five or six high, and the reason why it is said to be a figure sculpture is because the outline of the head is clearly recognizable, and the head of the statue is twisted to the left, and the neck seems to be very forceful.

Descending from the neck, there are broad shoulders like a mountain and two thick arms, and the strength of the carved figure can be seen in the three-dimensional image alone.

Looking down again, the body of this statue figure leaned sideways, and the waist was forced, as if it was firmly holding a huge head with its left arm, and the movement naturally brought out a fierce murderous aura.

Because of his movement, his arms, waist and hips presented a very peculiar shape, giving people a sense of tension with swollen blood.

The huge head firmly held by this statue figure looked like a fierce beast, huge in size and powerful.

It seemed to be struggling, trying to break free from the other party's grip, and there seemed to be an air of fear and despair in its movements.

Anything further down and nothing remains, and it comes to an abrupt end.

Ye Tian carefully looked at the three-dimensional scan image on the LCD screen, then nodded with a smile and said:

"You're right, Vites, there is indeed an ancient statue beneath that beautiful coral reef, and God knows how many years it has been sleeping in the depths of this dark seabed.

To be precise, it should be the upper part of an ancient statue, which is still intact, perhaps falling out of the ship just as it was about to crash onto the ridge.

If this is the case, then there is no doubt that the Roman or Greek ship that transported the statue in the first place, as well as the lower part of the statue, is likely to be in the vicinity of this place, and it is not difficult to find it."

Hearing this, Charlie and Vites immediately glanced around the submarine, and their eyes were extremely bright, and their eyes were full of anticipation.

Chandler, who was also in the cockpit of the submarine, and the photographer did the same, quickly scanning the surroundings.

Unfortunately, they don't have the eyes to see through the darkness.

Aside from the pleasant killer whales, the endless waters and darkness, and the vast expanses of colorful coral reefs and seaweeds, there are no surprises to discover!

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then continued:

"Of course, there is another possibility, the lower part of the ancient shipwreck and statue fell into the abyss next to it, in that case, we can only explore it with underwater robots!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and pointed to the sea water on the left side of the submarine that was shrouded in darkness.

About fifty meters to the left of their small Aurora submarine was an abyss, leading to the bottom of the sea at a depth of two or three thousand meters.

Following the direction of his finger, everyone looked over there, and then withdrew their gaze.

After a pause, Ye Tianqing's voice came out again and reached everyone's ears.

Judging from the silhouette and shape of the upper part of this statue, it should be carved with Hercules, the god of ancient Greek mythology, and the mythical story of him strangling the lion of Nemea.

Hercules is the greatest hero of ancient Greek mythology, the embodiment of strength, courage and wisdom, and there are many sculptures about Hercules, including classics.

In ancient Greek mythology, the Mycenaean king Eurystheus was jealous of Hercules' prominence and gave Hercules a whole bunch of very difficult tasks in order to embarrass him.

These almost impossible tasks were completed by Hercules one by one, known as the twelve great deeds of Hercules, the first of which was to kill the Nemean lion.

The Nemea lion is a giant lion in ancient Greek mythology, it is said that its fur is gold, which cannot be penetrated by ordinary weapons, so it cannot be killed, and its claws are also extremely sharp.

Hercules used various weapons, such as bows and arrows, and spears to kill the Nemean lion, but could not kill the lion, and finally he strangled the Nemean lion alive with his hands.

He then used the sharp claws of the Nemean lion to cut and peel off the lion's skin, and used the skin of the Nemean lion as a shawl, which he always draped over himself.

Because Hercules killed the Nemean lion in such a special way, it is not difficult to identify the sculpture that depicts this ancient Greek mythology."

For Ye Tian's analysis, those experts and scholars on the sea, as well as many antique art appraisal experts, sculptors, historians and archaeologists on the live broadcast end, all agree very much.

They all saw the three-dimensional scanning image of this statue, and they also recognized the content of this sculpture, which was consistent with what Ye Tian said.

"It's a pity that this statue of Hercules killing the lion of Nemea was broken in two, and the lower part of it is not known where it is, and it would be great if it could be found.

Although it is not known who created this Hercules statue, I am sure that the origin of this Hercules statue must be extraordinary, otherwise it would not be here.

It is unusual for both the ancient Romans and the ancient Greeks to transport such a heavy statue to the Ionian Sea, far from the mainland, at great cost and material resources.

This is enough to show that this sculpture of "Hercules Kills the Lion of Nemea" must have an extraordinary origin and great value, and may be the work of some top master carver."

Ye Tian continued to introduce this ancient sculpture that had not yet revealed its true face, but what he said was the truth, and everyone was convinced.

And above the sea, because of the discovery of this suspected ancient Greek statue, it has caused a huge sensation.

Especially in Greece, the whole country is buzzing like a boiling pot!
