A moment later, the five-seater Aurora mini-submarine that Mattis and his crew were riding also surfaced smoothly, and thunderous applause and excited cheers rang out again on the sea.
Immediately afterwards, the two small submarines drove to the stern of the Brave and Fearless, stopped close to the stern swimming platform, and connected to the Brave and Fearless using cables.
The hatch on the top of the submarine opened immediately. Ye Tian and Mattis came out of the two small submarines and boarded the stern swimming platform of the Brave and Fearless.
When they all came out of the submarine, several staff and divers guarding the stern of the Brave and Intrepid immediately entered the submarine or jumped into the sea and began to inspect the two small submarines to prepare for the next deep dive exploration.
The divers who jumped into the sea had another task, which was to remove the storage boxes that came with the two small submarines and give them to Ye Tian and Matisse.
The two storage boxes contained several antique artifacts that Ye Tian and the others found from the sunken treasures on the seabed. They were basically gold products. Although they were not big in size, each one was valuable.
In the blink of an eye, the divers had removed the two storage boxes, surfaced, and handed all the storage boxes to Ye Tian, who was standing on the swimming platform.
After getting the two storage boxes, Ye Tian immediately glanced at the few people left on the swimming platform, and then said with a smile:
"Guys, let's go up, go to the main deck living room, have a good rest, and then discuss how to salvage the priceless treasures in this sunken treasure!"
After speaking, he took the lead to step out, boarded the gangway, and walked to the main deck above.
Behind him, Matisse and Charlie followed immediately, everyone was extremely excited.
As soon as he boarded the main deck, Ye Tian saw Jason and David waiting here, as well as Walker and others in charge of security.
"Steven, congratulations, you have discovered another huge sunken treasure. This sunken treasure is so amazing. Its appearance has caused a huge sensation around the world"
David came up and congratulated a few words, his words and eyes were full of envy and excitement.
"Hahaha, this is just the beginning. When we salvage the priceless treasures from this sunken treasure and let them see the light of day again after more than two thousand years, the whole world will be boiling!"
Ye Tian said with a confident chuckle, and lightly bumped fists with David.
After greeting these guys one after another, everyone walked towards the main deck living room together.
While marching, Ye Tian turned to Walker and said:
"Tell me about the situation on the sea, Walker. I believe many uninvited guests have arrived in this sea area. It must be very lively, right?"
Walker chuckled and nodded, and then began to introduce the situation on the sea.
"Yes, Steven, the sea is getting more and more lively now. Following the two medium-sized seaplanes from Italy, three medium-sized seaplanes sent by Greece have also flown to this sea area. .
Like the previous two seaplanes, these three subsequent seaplanes were also unable to enter the sea area that we designated as a restricted area. They could only park on the outer sea and expressed their protest to us. .
In addition, the first batch of official ships from Italy and Greece arrived in this area about half an hour ago and were anchored on the outer sea, along with some yachts joining in the fun.
Those yachts were originally on the Ionian Sea. After seeing the live broadcast on TV, they rushed here to watch the excitement. They arrived the fastest. There are many ships on their way here, both far and near.
In addition to the countries along the Mediterranean Sea, the United States has also responded. The USS Bataan amphibious assault ship is currently on the sea approximately 70 to 80 nautical miles southwest of our fleet, forming a certain degree of force deterrence."
Listening to this report, a sneer flashed across Ye Tian's face.
"As expected, the discovery of this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure has already made some people's eyes red with excitement. Just watch, there will be more guys with ulterior motives coming here.
What we have to do is to firmly guard this sea area. No one can take advantage of us. If necessary, we can let the Bataan amphibious assault ship take action, so a large amount of money cannot be wasted! ”
While they were talking, the group of them had arrived at the main deck living room of the Brave and Dauntless.
Entering the living room, Ye Tian first said hello to the captain of the Brave and Fearless and others, and then said to everyone present:
"You guys sit here, take a rest, and discuss the salvage operation that will be carried out later. Mattis, come in with me. We need to arrange some things in advance, just in case."
As he spoke, he waved to Matisse and walked into a nearby lounge. Matisse then stood up and followed him
The rest of the people stayed in the living room on the main deck, drinking coffee and discussing the upcoming operation to salvage the sunken treasure. Everyone was extremely excited.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
The door to the lounge room opened again, and Ye Tian and Matisse walked out.
As soon as they appeared, Jason stood up and said:
"Steven, the experts and scholars who came with the fleet demand to meet with you immediately, and their attitude is very tough. They are all very urgent. Looking at their posture, they even did not hesitate to swim over"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
This time Ye Tian did not refuse, he smiled and nodded and said:
“Those are experts and scholars who study ancient Greek history, or top antique art appraisal experts. The discovery of this sunken treasure is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them. How can they miss it!
I have no intention of completely excluding them. That would offend those old friends. Jason, send someone to pick up those guys and arrange them in the conference room of the Brave and Dauntless. I will meet them there."
"Okay, Steven, I will arrange for the guys to pick up those experts and scholars"
Jason nodded in response, then picked up the walkie-talkie and walked out of the living room.
After he left, Ye Tian poured himself a cup of coffee, then walked to the sofa and sat down, talking about the upcoming operation to salvage the sunken treasure.
“In view of the current situation, the operation to salvage the treasures from this sunken ship must be launched immediately to salvage the treasures sunk deep in the seabed as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the greater the possibility of variables!
Let the deep-sea salvage staff prepare, drive a submarine into the sea, and work with underwater robots to start salvaging sunken treasures. The first target is the life-size female marble statue.
In addition, there is the bronze head of Socrates and another bronze head. These treasures are not large or heavy, and are scattered on the sea ridge. It is not particularly difficult to salvage them.
Using rope nets, buoyancy bags, and the crane on the Intrepid, it is estimated that it will not take long to fish them out of the water, allowing these treasures that have been sleeping in the darkness for more than two thousand years to be brought to light again.
After these three statues are salvaged from the water, I will take them away immediately. I have contacted the USS Bataan amphibious assault ship and the US Air Force base on Sicily, and arranged transport planes.
I plan to fly directly to New York with these three statues. Jason will be responsible for the next treasure salvage operation. According to my estimation, the subsequent salvage and cleanup of the sunken treasure will last at least more than 20 days."
Hearing what Ye Tian said, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
Immediately afterwards, David asked curiously in a low voice:
"Steven, why did you immediately salvage that life-size female statue? Is it the work of a top sculptor in ancient Greece or the Hellenistic period? Is it of extraordinary significance?"
Ye Tian turned to look at David, then said with a secretive smile:
"The secret must not be leaked! What I can tell you is that if the experts and scholars who came with the fleet were to see the full picture of the female marble human body statue, those guys would definitely go crazy for it!
If the Greek or Italian government authorities were informed of the existence of the marble statue, they would most likely take risks, disregard all laws, and send troops directly to seize it.
When I saw the outline of the back of the female marble statue deep under the sea, I recognized the statue, so I asked Charlie and the others to stop cleaning it to avoid detonating the entire outside world.
This is also the reason why I want to salvage the statue as soon as possible and take it away quickly. Once the statue comes out of the water, it will definitely cause a huge sensation. It is dangerous to stay here for a second.
In comparison, the bronze head of Socrates and the other bronze head are less important, even though they may be the works of the master Leusippus, one of the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era."
"Hiss——!"
A gasp of air rang out from the scene. Everyone was frightened by Ye Tian's words and became even more excited.
"Wow! What is that female human body statue? Which master sculptor is it? It is so precious, it is incredible!"
David immediately exclaimed, holding his head in his hands with an exaggerated expression.
"When the marble statue is pulled out of the water and cleaned, you will recognize the statue and be fascinated by it"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, but his tone was decisive.
Next, he continued to explain the reason for his early departure
“The salvage and cleanup work of this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure will definitely last for a long time. Twenty days is a conservative estimate, but I still have a lot to do, so naturally I can’t stay here forever.
When I leave with the most valuable statue, I will also take away most of the attention, reduce the pressure here, and facilitate the salvage work. I will make many people with ulterior motives worry about me outside! ”
After hearing what he said, everyone at the scene nodded slightly and had no different opinions.
