The sunset has already set in the west, and night gradually envelopes the entire Mediterranean Sea.
However, the sea area where the exploration fleet was located was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
At this time, almost everyone in the fleet had walked out of the cabin and stood on the decks of each ship, looking at the sea near the brave deep-sea salvage ship. Everyone was extremely excited and their eyes were full of anticipation.
Farther out on the sea, people on other ships were holding telescopes, stretching their necks, and looking here. Many of them had red eyes with jealousy, and they looked quite scary.
In countless places around the world, many people are glued to the live broadcast, looking forward to the discovery of this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure and the dazzling light of civilization again after more than two thousand years. .
"Crash"
As the waves surged, two huge pearls emitting dazzling light rose up from the depths of the seabed and surfaced.
The two Aurora mini-submarines that Mattis and his crew were riding on were the first to surface and appeared in everyone's sight.
Immediately afterwards, a huge rope net was raised to the sea. To be more precise, it was lifted to the sea by the crane on the brave deep-sea salvage ship.
"Pa bang bang"
Thundering applause suddenly sounded, resounding throughout the entire sea area.
The moment this rope net appeared on the sea, people on board the ships of the exploration fleet gave their enthusiastic applause and cheers.
On countless live broadcasts, there were also bursts of applause, and everyone was applauding the success of the first battle to salvage this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure.
When the rope net was lifted about one-third of the way, the crane suddenly stopped.
The next moment, two high-speed boats cruising on the sea near the stern of the Brave and Dauntless immediately approached.
As they approached the rope net, several Brave and Fearless Exploration Company employees on the speedboat quickly hung several safety ropes on the rope net.
The other ends of these safety ropes are connected to the No. 2 and 3 cranes on the Intrepid and a winch in the stern garage, just in case.
After hanging the safety rope, Ye Tian, who was standing on the main deck of the Brave and Fearless, immediately said:
"Guys, hoist the rope net to the main deck of the Brave and Dauntless, and then slowly lower it for cleaning and for later transfer to the main deck of the Blue Princess"
As the order came out, the No. 1 crane on the Brave and Dauntless began to work again.
In the blink of an eye, the huge rope net was lifted out of the sea as a whole, and then slowly moved towards the main deck of the Brave and Dauntless.
After a while, the huge rope net was hoisted above the main deck and slowly lowered.
When the rope net was lowered to a height of about one meter above the main deck, several company employees immediately stepped forward, pulled the rope net with their hands, and placed it smoothly on the prepared mat.
At this moment, there was once again warm applause on the Brave and Dauntless, and there were cheers one after another.
Next, several company employees quickly untied the hooks from the rope net, but they did not open the strong rope net. Instead, they piled the rope net together, just covering the three statues inside. .
Seeing that the rope net had been placed, many experts and scholars who had been waiting nearby could not bear it any longer and immediately rushed forward, scrambling one by one like a tide.
At the same time, there were two live broadcast groups from the National Geographic Channel and NBC TV.
Ye Tian did not stop these guys, he just smiled softly, and then followed him with David and Jason.
Fortunately, there were several company employees guarding it. As soon as those experts and scholars rushed up, they were stopped by several company employees. They were unable to touch the three ancient statues and could only stare at them with greed.
While talking, Ye Tian and David had passed through the crowd and arrived at the edge of the rope net.
Before they knelt down to look at the three statues, someone next to them said impatiently:
"Steven, hurry up and untie this rope net. Let's take a look at the three sculptures inside. What content are they carved on? Which sculptor are they, and how much are they worth?"
"Yes, Steven, hurry up and open this rope net cafe, everyone is impatient to wait"
Ye Tian quickly glanced at everyone present, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Don't be impatient, everyone. These three ancient statues have been salvaged from the sea and are placed in front of everyone. They can't grow wings and fly. We can slowly appreciate and identify them. Don't be too anxious!
These three statues have been sleeping in the depths of the sea for more than two thousand years. They must be cleaned carefully to see their appearance, especially the two bronze heads, which must be stained with rust.
I will open this rope net now. Let’s start with the two bronze heads and clean them one by one, and then appreciate and identify them. I believe that we will get a series of huge surprises! ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian opened the lock on the rope net, opened the rope net to a width of less than one meter, then put on a pair of special gloves, put his hands into the rope net, and kept Fumbling around.
Obviously, he did this on purpose to prevent experts and scholars from seeing the female human statue prematurely.
Seeing this scene, the experts and scholars next to them were all filled with hatred, but there was nothing they could do.
There is no way, everyone is currently on the ship of this **** Steven, surrounded by his men, and the three statues that have just been salvaged from the sea also belong to this **** in name, and their forms are stronger than people!
While these experts and scholars were secretly complaining, Ye Tian had already picked up a rusty bronze statue from the rope net and carefully placed it in front of everyone.
Although this bronze statue is very badly rusted and there are many coral fragments on it, only the outline of the statue can be seen clearly, and the details are not clear.
However, this is completely sufficient.
The shape of this bronze statue is so unique that everyone at the scene is very familiar with it. As long as you see its outline, you can recognize it at a glance.
Unsurprisingly, there was a burst of exclamation at the scene.
"Wow! It is indeed the bronze head of Socrates. The outline is almost exactly the same as the marble head in the Louvre. Is this really the work of Master Lysippus, one of the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era? ”
“This should be the work of Master Leusippus. You must know that those ancient Roman shipwrecks on the seabed have been sunk at the bottom of the sea for more than two thousand years, and it was the Hellenistic era more than two thousand years ago.
In the Hellenistic era, there should not be many people who deliberately imitated the sculptures of the Lysipsi masters. If this was an imitation, I believe the Roman Empire would not take it so seriously."
Although everyone has already expected that this bronze head is probably the work of Master Leusippus, one of the three major sculptors in ancient Greece.
However, when everyone saw this bronze sculpture with their own eyes and confirmed that it was the work of Master Lyosipos, they were still shocked and even a little unbelievable!
You know, this is the work of one of the three sculptors of the Hellenistic era. How many are there in the world? The few statues that were left were all in dilapidated condition and full of questions!
The bronze head in front of you is different. There is almost no doubt about its origin, and it is so completely preserved. It is so rare and precious!
There is no doubt that this is a priceless treasure. Can you not be shocked by it?
Not only the experts and scholars at the scene, but also the many professionals in front of the live broadcast, as well as countless viewers, were all stunned by this rusty bronze head.
This bronze head reappeared in the world after more than two thousand years. It immediately caused a huge sensation and attracted countless attention.
There were many coveting eyes among them, and some guys were so jealous that their eyes turned blood red, wishing they could replace Ye Tian and take this priceless bronze head as their own.
But this is just the beginning, more shocking scenes are yet to come.
Before the exclamation could end, Ye Tian's somewhat proud voice came out again, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"It seems that my guess is correct. This is indeed a sculpture by the master Lysippus, one of the three giants of ancient Greek philosophy, the bronze head of Socrates.
Next, we will carefully clean the rust marks on this bronze head and strive to restore it to its original appearance as soon as possible and let it shine with incomparable brilliance and wisdom again.
Since this is the bronze head of Socrates, which sage was carved by the other unknown bronze head? I am full of expectations for this answer”
As he spoke, Ye Tian put his hands into the rope net again and began to fumble in the rope net.
The next moment, he took out the other bronze head from the rope net and displayed it in front of everyone and on the live broadcast screen.
With the appearance of this bronze head, the scene was silent for a few seconds, and then everything started to boil.
"Wow! Am I right? This is a bronze head of Plato, one of the three giants of ancient Greek philosophy. The shape and outline are almost exactly the same as the marble head of Plato in the Louvre!"
"Oh my god! This must be another work of the master Lysippus. Am I not dreaming? In one day, two sculptures of the master Lysippus were discovered. This is really a dreamy day!"
Similar to the situation on the Brave and Dauntless, the situation in front of countless live broadcasts was completely boiling at this time, with almost crazy exclamations ringing out continuously!
