The stern of the yacht has a movable swimming platform.
Soon, Ye Tian arrived here, but he did not take off his shoes and stepped off the swimming platform.
Matisse, Raymond, and Kenny are all standing on the platform, busy performing their respective duties. There is no need to add another person, which will only add chaos!
Like the two Hollywood stars who came here before, Ye Tian also stood on the main deck above the swimming platform and became a bystander.
The yellow underwater robot has been put into the sea by Matisse and the others, and it is floating on the sea at the moment, very conspicuous!
This is a torpedo-shaped underwater robot, about 1.5 meters long, with a cross-sectional diameter of about 30 centimeters. It is not large and weighs about 50 kilograms. It can be easily operated by one person using the winch on the yacht!
The robot has a compact structure and good passability. The outer shell is made of high-performance buoyancy materials. It has low density, high pressure resistance, low water permeability, strong impact resistance, and good corrosion resistance!
The front end is a transparent hemisphere that protrudes forward and is protected by a metal frame. It contains several pieces of equipment such as a high-definition optical zoom camera, sensors, sonar detectors, and strong searchlights.
After entering the water, using the high-definition optical zoom camera and strong searchlight it carries, it can take clear pictures of the depths of the ocean and transmit these pictures back to the yacht in real time.
The sonar detector it is equipped with can achieve large-scale and long-distance detection. The maximum underwater detection distance is 220 meters, which can greatly improve exploration efficiency!
On the outside of this underwater robot, protected by metal crash frames and buffer materials, there are also several underwater high-definition optical cameras and several underwater strong-light searchlights.
Using these high-definition optical cameras and lamps, you can smoothly capture images from every angle of the seafloor where the robot passes, without missing a beat!
Since you want to explore the water, a propulsion device is indispensable.
There are five electrically controlled thrusters, located at the tail, sides, and up and down of the underwater robot. Except for the tail thruster, the other thrusters can adjust their direction remotely.
Through these adjustable thrusters, the operator can freely control the underwater robot, allowing it to smoothly reach any place he wants to explore.
There are two ways to control this underwater robot. Within a depth of 300 meters, it can be controlled wirelessly. Beyond this depth, it can only be controlled via cable!
Although there are already unmanned and cableless deep submersibles, which are underwater intelligent robots, and the technology is very mature, they are not suitable for this exploration operation.
The sea area explored this time is not small. The underwater robot needs to operate deep in the ocean for a long time. Continuously providing power to the robot is a big problem.
With unmanned cabled deep submersibles, this problem does not exist.
As long as the underwater robot does not malfunction, it can always stay deep in the seabed and continue to explore as the yacht moves, which is very efficient!
Even if a malfunction occurs, the controller can use the steel cable to lift the robot out of the water for quick repairs.
Underwater intelligent robots are different. Its underwater operation time is strictly limited by the reserve power. Once the power is used up, it must surface and replace the battery.
If it malfunctions in the deep sea or loses contact with the surface of the sea, it is likely that it will never surface and can only stay in the depths of the ocean and become a man-made seabed garbage.
It is for the above reasons that Ye Tian and the others chose this relatively traditional underwater robot!
This underwater robot also has two ways of transmitting signals, wireless transmission within a depth of 300 meters, and cable transmission beyond this depth!
When Ye Tian arrived at the stern of the ship, all preparations had been completed.
Mattis and the others have tested the various equipment carried by the underwater robot, the power reserve, etc., and there are no problems. They can go into the water and start exploration operations at any time.
The cables that control and connect the underwater robot to the yacht, as well as the thin high-strength steel cables, are all connected and are very strong and can perfectly control the underwater robot.
Everything is ready!
After a few quick exchanges with Matisse and the others, Ye Tian quickly issued an order.
"Guys, let the robot go into the water. The exploration of the Malaga Princess sunken ship begins now. I hope this underwater robot can send back surprising pictures"
"Okay, Steven!"
Mattis and the others responded in unison, everyone was very excited.
Immediately afterwards, Kenny pressed the button of the electric winch and began to slowly release the steel cable.
The robot floating on the sea sank into the water and gradually sank into the depths of the sea.
Soon, this yellow torpedo-shaped underwater robot completely disappeared from everyone's sight and dived into the depths of the Caribbean to explore the unknown dark world 800 meters deep!
After handing over the control of the winch to Raymond, Kenny quickly climbed the stairs back to the main deck cabin and began to use the computer to control the underwater robot.
Next, he will be mainly responsible for the underwater robot's work of exploring sunken treasures on the seabed, with others assisting him.
Matisse also left the swimming platform and returned to the main deck, leaving Raymond alone on the swimming platform, controlling the yacht's own winch and releasing the steel cable at a constant speed!
Ye Tian glanced at the sea twice, and then said to a few people around him:
“Guys, let’s go back to the main deck cabin and see what the underwater robot can take. We can also enjoy the scenery in the deep sea. It must be beautiful!”
"Let's go! I really want to see what the depths of the ocean are like. What strange creatures are there? Maybe there will be surprising discoveries!"
Johnny said excitedly, turned around and walked towards the main deck cabin, looking like he couldn't wait!
The rest of the people did the same, turning around and preparing to leave the stern of the ship.
At this moment, a melodious and melodious chirping sound like singing suddenly came from the side of the yacht, very loud! But it sounds a little childish!
"Squeak——! Squeak——!..."
Hearing the cry, everyone immediately turned to look at the sea on the right side of the yacht. Everyone had a bit of surprise, curiosity, and excitement in their eyes!
On the sea surface less than a hundred meters away from the starboard side of the yacht, a water column suddenly rose into the sky, sprayed four to five meters high, then spread out and fell back to the water.
The next second, a black bulge appeared on the blue sea, like a hill. The area of this bulge was small at first, but it quickly became larger.
Immediately afterwards, a giant sea beast suddenly jumped out of the sea, its huge body completely horizontal in the air, displayed in front of everyone!
It flew to a height of seven or eight meters, and after its upward momentum was completely exhausted, it hit the sea hard again.
This is a humpback whale, the undisputed behemoth in the ocean!
Although this is just a juvenile humpback whale, it is still very large. The scene that appears in front of everyone is very spectacular! Shocking!
Ye Tian and the others on the yacht were not in the mood to appreciate this beautiful natural landscape. At this time, they hoped that this naughty young humpback whale would not appear here.
"Guys, get ready, the waves are coming!"
Mattis reminded loudly through the intercom, while reaching out and grabbing the railing of the ship.
Everyone reacted quickly and grabbed the railings or handles around them, preparing to face the impact of the waves.
In the blink of an eye, the raging waves arrived and began to hit the luxury yacht parked on the sea from the side.
Fortunately, everyone was prepared and the waves were not too fierce. It did not cause any damage, it just made everyone nervous.
After the crest of the wave passed, the sea slowly calmed down. The young humpback whale had dived underwater, and the yacht gradually returned to stability.
Everyone let go of the railings or handles and stood firm on the deck.
Immediately afterwards, Orlando's excited voice reached everyone's ears.
“Wow! I didn’t expect to see a humpback whale here, it’s so awesome!”
“Humpback whales come here every year to spend the winter and breed. The Caribbean Sea is the nursery of humpback whales. In the summer, they will return to the northern seas to feed, and the cycle begins again and again!
That was a young humpback whale just now. Their bodies have not grown yet and cannot withstand too much pressure. They cannot dive into the deep sea and can only move around on the surface of the ocean.
If nothing unexpected happens, there must be an adult female humpback whale in the depths of the ocean nearby. In other words, we will face a stronger wave impact later! "
Ye Tian quickly explained a few words with a wry smile on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kenny's voice came from the intercom.
"Attention everyone, the female humpback whale has come up from the deep sea and is swimming toward the surface. It is very large, about 15 meters in length, and weighs at least 20 tons!"
Hearing the news, everyone had a helpless smile on their faces, a little bitter.
Same as before, everyone immediately grabbed the railings or handles around them to prevent any unexpected events!
"Guys, welcome the waves again!"
