Chapter 697: Ancient Spanish Battleship

Soon everyone gathered at the workbench and began to appreciate this unexpected discovery.

Under the illumination of the strong searchlight carried by the underwater robot, under the lens of the high-definition camera, the underwater world at a depth of 300 meters is clearly presented before everyone's eyes.

This is a dark underwater world, without any light penetrating, everything is wrapped in sea water, hidden in endless darkness, full of unknown mystery.

This is also a life restricted zone for many marine creatures. Under the terrifying water pressure and low temperature, those marine surface creatures simply cannot survive here.

Those who can survive here are deep-sea creatures that have long adapted to darkness.

Compared with the colorful surface of the ocean, this place is a lot lonely, more like an ocean desert!

The arrival of underwater robots immediately broke the tranquility here, bringing light to this dark underwater world for the first time.

Wherever the strong light of a few searchlights passed, this underwater world immediately became chaotic.

Under the stimulation of the light, a small school of deep-sea fish in front of the robot suddenly dispersed and escaped in all directions. In a blink of an eye, they disappeared from the camera and re-hidden into the darkness.

As the prey in the ocean, these small fishes are very alert. Once they find something is wrong, they will quickly flee in order to protect themselves!

In their eyes, this yellow monster that suddenly appeared in front of them, radiating a dazzling bright light, was very likely a predator, very dangerous, so it's better to avoid it.

There are those who are timid and cautious, and of course those who are bold and curious!

As soon as the school of fish dispersed, two Cuban dogfish, about one meter in length, appeared in the lens, swimming straight towards the underwater robot from a few meters in diameter.

The two dogfishes should have just finished eating, and there is no desire to prey at this time. When they swim here, they are not fast, they are very leisurely, and they are more like patrolling the territory.

When they swam near the underwater robots, they began to observe the guy who appeared suddenly, and they continued to roam around the robot, constantly experimenting, and they were very curious!

On the computer screen, Ye Tian and the others clearly saw these pictures, very vivid!

However, everyone's focus is not here, but more than ten meters in front of the underwater robot.

On the edge of the dark world ahead, a huge monster stood there quietly, like a sea hill, motionless, without any rhythm of life.

Although it has no life on its own, it is a shelter for life in the underwater world.

Especially for those deep-sea creatures at the bottom of the food chain, there is a paradise of life and the most ideal haven, allowing them to escape of the hunting by their natural enemies again and again, and enjoy the beauty of life.

There, many kinds of deep-sea fishes of different sizes are swimming happily, gathering and dispersing, very freely!

This is a ship sunk deep in the bottom of the sea. The towering masts and a huge hull of forty to fifty meters on the ship accurately reveal its identity.

Undoubtedly, this is definitely a Spanish four-masted galleon ship, developed from the sailing ship Carrack. In the era of sailing power, it is a well-deserved marine hegemon!

Since the mid-sixteenth century, Galleon ships have crisscrossed all oceans around the world. It was not until the emergence of steam-powered ships that the Galleon ships withdrew from the stage of history and gradually became a few people's toys and museum exhibits!

After just glanced at the shape of the sunken ship, Ye Tian got the affirmative answer.

Kenny's judgment is very accurate. The only uncertainty now is whether the Galleon ship was used as Spanish battleship or a treasure ship traveling between the Spanish mainland and the Latin American colonies.

From the middle of the sixteenth century to the end of the seventeenth century, the Spanish government was very fond of the Galleon sailing ship and always regarded it as the primary choice for cargo ships and warships.

Therefore, when people think of the Galleon ship, the first thing they think of is the huge Spanish treasure ship fleet and the countless treasure ships that have sunk in the depths of the world's oceans.

Ye Tian and the others are no exception. When they heard the news from Kenny, everyone thought of the treasure ship, so they were so excited!

Although from the appearance of the ship, everyone can quickly recognize that this is the Galleon ship, but it is impossible to accurately determine the true purpose of this ancient shipwreck.

After all, that ship sailed in the era of pirates, both cargo ships and battleships have powerful firepower equipment, and the roles between the two can be changed at any time.

After taking a closer look at the sunken ship, Ye Tian said through the walkie-talkie:

"Raymond, raise the underwater robot fifty meters first, and when it reaches the top of the ship, put the robot down again so as not to hang on the sunken ship.

Pique, after the underwater robot rises, you immediately start the yacht, drive forward about ten meters, stop right above the sunken ship, and then drop the anchor to stop the ship!"

"Okay, Steven!"

The two responded separately, and immediately acted.

The underwater camera began to rise slowly, and the image on the computer screen changed accordingly, turning into a bird's-eye view angle, which made Ye Tian and the others know more about the sunken ship.

After about two or three minutes, Raymond's voice came from the walkie-talkie again.

"Steven, Pique, I have raised the underwater robot by fifty meters and you can start the yacht."

"Received, let's set sail!"

Pique responded, very excited.

Immediately afterwards, the yacht moved, dragging the underwater robot slowly forward.

After a while, the yacht was in place and stopped again.

The iron anchor at the bow was then thrown into the sea by Miller. After a while, the luxury yacht was set on the sea and they was ready to explore.

When the yacht was completely stopped, Raymond immediately started the winch again, began to slowly release the steel cable, and lowered the underwater robot directly above the sunken ship.

While talking, the underwater robot had dropped more than forty meters and landed on the deck of the sunken ship.

In the main cabin of the yacht, Ye Tian took the walkie-talkie and kept staring at the picture returned by the camera carried by the underwater robot.

When the underwater robot fell on the deck of the sunken ship, he quickly said through the intercom:

"Raymond, the robot has been lowered to the deck, stop the winch!"

"Ok!"

When the voice fell, the underwater robot immediately stopped descending, and the picture on the computer screen changed accordingly, showing the situation on the top deck of the sunken ship.

After a little shaking, the situation on the deck of the Spanish four-masted Galleon was immediately clearly presented before everyone's eyes.

The deck of the sailing boat is very messy, like a storm, everything is swaying, throwing everywhere, most things are no longer on the boat, and should have fallen on the seabed nearby or on both sides of the sailing boat!

But the images returned by the camera are enough for everyone to make accurate judgments.

Seeing these pictures on the computer screen, everyone suddenly became more excited. They stepped forward and started to check carefully. Everyone's eyes were full of expectation and very excited!

Without even thinking about it, everyone on the yacht hopes that this is a treasure ship, and they can make a fortune!

More importantly, this shipwreck has nothing to do with Raytheon Security Company. All the proceeds belong to the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company and do not need to be shared with anyone else!

After observing for two or three minutes, Ye Tian just said:

"This is a Spanish battleship, not a treasure ship. Regarding this point, you can see from the gun positions on the side of the ship and the openings on the side of the ship. Those gaps should have been smashed out by solid shells.

And this battleship must have had the most tragic battle between the ships. There were too many weapons left on the deck. From this, it can be seen that this battleship must have been sunk. I wonder if it was the British or the pirates?"

He could hear that there was a little regret in his tone.

"Yes, this is indeed a Spanish battleship. It is of great archaeological value, but its economic value is limited. It is not the treasure ship we most want to see."

Matisse nodded in agreement, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Johnny Depp suddenly said excitedly:

"Guys, look at the direction of the ship building, there seem to be boxes, and there are a lot of them!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at another picture on the screen.
