Chapter 2117 Déjà vu
As the exploration began, the sound of the metal detector did not stop, and it rang out.
At the same time, the LCD monitoring screen in the submarine also flashed the general outline of various metal objects.
The items that cover the reef or are contained in the wreck include bronze statues of various sizes, a large number of gold and silver coins, various gold products, and many ancient weapons.
This is only the metal objects that can be scanned, and the marble sculptures, and other non-metal objects, there are certainly not a few of them.
From the scanned items, it is certain that this is an old cargo ship, which is full of various cargoes, and the cargo ship is in a decent state of preservation.
In the process of sinking to the bottom of the sea, there are not many items that were originally contained in this cargo ship, falling out of the cargo ship, falling on a ridge or in the deep sea.
Undoubtedly, this is the most significant discovery to date, and the greatest treasure in this shipwreck treasure.
It didn't take long for this beautiful coral reef to be quickly scanned, and everyone had a basic understanding of the inner life of this ancient shipwreck.
When the small submarine turned around and returned to the starting position again, Ye Tian immediately glanced at the time, and then said with a smile:
"Alright, Charlie, Vitesse, write down the exact coordinates of this ancient shipwreck, make a mark, and start salvaging it later, I'm sure this wreck will bring us a great surprise.
Next, let's explore the small coral reef next to it, that small coral reef is very close to this shipwreck, maybe it was formed by something thrown out of this cargo ship, not to be missed!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian stretched out his finger and pointed to a small coral reef not far from the right side of the submarine.
The reef is no more than about 1.5 meters high, small in size, and overgrown with various colors of coral.
The size and age of the corals, as well as the color, are about the same as those on this cargo ship, and they must have been formed at the same time.
Following the direction of Ye Tian's finger, everyone turned their heads to look over there, and everyone had a little curiosity in their eyes.
"Understood, Steven, we'll record the coordinates right away"
Charlie and Vitesse responded in unison and went their separate ways.
In the blink of an eye, they had finished their work, and then drove the Aurora mini submarine over there.
Before coming to this small coral reef, Charlie and his family carefully scanned the reef as usual.
Sure enough!
Beneath those beautiful coral reefs, there is indeed a treasure hidden, a life-size marble sculpture of a woman.
Moreover, the marble statue is well preserved, and from the 3D scanned images, there is no damage to the statue, not even a trace of cracks.
The reason why it is said to be a female marble statue is because this statue is fruity, with a beautiful posture, exquisite curves, and very obvious features, as long as you are not blind, you will not be mistaken.
Unfortunately, the statue is lying on its stomach at the moment.
Most of the wooden box containing this statue has been sunk into the sand, and because of the angle, the front outline cannot be seen for the time being, so it is impossible to tell who is carving.
Of course, this is the result of a three-dimensional scan, what is presented in the eyes of others.
What exactly this marble statue is, which famous carving master it is, and how valuable it is, Ye Tian knows it.
At this time, if anyone can see the depths of his eyes, they will definitely be able to see a color of ecstasy!
"Steven, there is indeed a treasure under this coral reef, it should be a life-size female sculpture, it looks very good, it is the most well-preserved sculpture we have found so far"
Vitesse reported the results of the scan, his tone excited.
Ye Tian looked at the three-dimensional image on the LCD screen, looked at the time again, and then said with a smile:
"There's still some time, so let's not go any further, Vites, you manipulate the robotic arm to remove all the coral and seaweed attached to this marble statue.
Later, when the salvage is carried out, the first thing to salvage is this statue, this marble statue is not too big, and it is very well preserved, I believe it will make a good start to the salvage work.
Take care when cleaning it, it's amazing that this marble statue has survived more than 2,000 years of ill-fated life and has been preserved so intact.
Such a great miracle cannot be destroyed in our hands, otherwise, it will be too regrettable, I definitely don't want to see that happen, and I believe you will too."
"Of course, Steven, don't worry, we'll be very cautious."
Charlie and Vitesse responded in unison, and the cleanup began.
On the sea, in the superyacht with a length of more than 60 meters, several experts and scholars were talking in a low voice while watching the live broadcast screen.
"Guys, the curve of the back of this marble statue of a woman, and the shape of it standing, seem a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen the same sculpture."
"That's right, I feel the same way, it looks familiar, but unfortunately I can't see the front and side contours of this statue, and the 3D scan image has limited clarity and can't see the details, so I can't judge"
Not only these experts and scholars, but also many professionals on the live broadcast end, as well as lovers of ancient Greek sculpture art, looking at the back outline of this marble sculpture, they also have a sense of déjà vu.
Everyone was also talking and discussing with each other, but no one could come to an accurate conclusion.
It didn't take long for Charlie and Vitesse to cut this beautiful reef to pieces, revealing the wooden box underneath.
Inside that wooden box was the marble sculpture.
Charlie and Vitesse were about to continue cleaning up, but they were stopped by Ye Tian.
"That's all for now, guys, it's been an hour since we got to the point, let's get down from this work, let's go meet up with Matisse and the others, and then come to the surface.
The rest of the work, come down later for salvage, don't rush at this time, safety is the most important, everyone should rest for a while, and recover the state"
"Okay, Steven"
Charlie nodded in response, and Vitesse responded without saying anything more.
Chandler and the photographer, who were also in the cockpit of the submarine, would not talk much.
Next, Charlie retracted the two robotic arms, and then drove the seven-seat mini-submarine towards the other mini-submarine.
On the other side, Mattis, who received Ye Tian's notice, also stopped what he was doing and drove the submarine towards the middle of the ridge.
Soon, the two small submarines converged in one place, and then kept a safe distance, one after the other, and slowly rose to the surface.
These two Aurora small submarines are like two huge pearls rising from the bottom of the sea, radiating incomparably brilliant light and attracting countless attention.
After about thirty meters of floating, the group of killer whales that had left before suddenly swam from a distance and swam towards the sea with the two submarines.
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes have passed.
Without exception, everyone in the exploration fleet was staring at the sea near the stern of the Brave Dreadnought, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot, excited and full of anticipation!
Not only them, but also countless places all over the world, countless pairs of eyes are staring at this sea, expecting those two small submarines that are like time machines to rise from the bottom of the sea and give the world a huge surprise.
Of course, people's emotions are very complicated, especially the Greeks, who are extremely entangled, and some people are even going crazy!
"Bang la la"
Between the surging waves, the Aurora seven-seat mini submarine that Ye Tian and the others were riding on was the first to float to the surface.
Floating on the surface of the sea are also several huge ocean overlords, killer whales.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The deafening applause suddenly rang out, and in an instant it resounded throughout the sea, throughout the Ionian Sea, and even throughout the Mediterranean!
