The boxes filled with gold and jewelry and diamonds that everyone expected to see did not appear in the high-definition camera lens carried by the underwater robot.
What appeared on the live broadcast screen were two sets of rusty diesel units, and they were relatively advanced medium-speed diesel units during World War II.
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately understood.
This is the engine room of the freighter. No wonder this freighter sank at the bottom of the sea.
To put it figuratively speaking, the engine room is the heart of a ship. No matter what kind of ship it is, no ship will survive if such a huge hole is blown into the engine room!
After just glancing at the live broadcast, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
“Guys, this is the engine room, not the cargo hold. It is obviously impossible to store any cargo, let alone boxes filled with gold, jewelry and diamonds.
You control the underwater robot to look around, paying special attention to the nameplate on the diesel unit to see if you can find some key information, such as the name of the ship, etc.
More importantly, check to see if the hatches connecting other cabins are open. If so, use the underwater robot to explore, but don’t go too deep! "
"Got it, Steven"
Kenny's voice came from the intercom, sounding slightly disappointed.
Next, the orange-red wireless remote-controlled underwater robot glided out, came to one of the diesel units, and began to investigate.
Soon, an almost completely rusted metal nameplate appeared on the big-screen TV.
You can vaguely tell from the metal nameplate that the manufacturer, production date and other information of the diesel engine unit are engraved on it in German. The manufacturer is a well-known German company.
The moment they saw this German metal nameplate, everyone was immediately more certain that this was the freighter carrying Rommel's treasure!
Unfortunately, the name of the ship was not marked on the metal nameplate, and the name of the freighter is still a mystery!
The situation is the same on the other diesel unit. There is only information such as the manufacturer of the diesel unit, but no name of the freighter!
Then the underwater robot began to explore other parts of the engine room, trying to find a passage to the adjacent cabin.
After seven or eight minutes, the results were fed back.
"Steven, we checked several hatches connecting other cabins. Most of them were closed tightly. Two of them were open, but the gaps were not big. If we control the underwater robot to pass through, we must take some risks. Risk! ”
"There is no need to take this risk. Anyway, we are going to explore the sea later. It might be better to leave a little suspense. In that case, the next exploration will be more interesting.
You control the underwater robot to leave the engine room, exit the ship from the original route, and check other places on the ship to see if there are any other damages similar to this hole! "
Ye Tian said through the intercom, still smiling, without a trace of disappointment.
After exploring the engine room, the orange-red wireless remote-controlled underwater robot retreated along the original path and came outside the ship again.
Immediately afterwards, the orange sea elf glided out, like a smart fish, and slowly swam towards the stern of the cargo ship.
……
More than forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, the palm-sized orange-red wireless remote-controlled underwater robot has roughly inspected the freighter that sank on the seabed!
Near the stern of the cargo ship, the underwater robot discovered another hole, slightly smaller than the previous one, with a diameter of about one meter.
Through the high-definition images transmitted back by the underwater robot, Ye Tian came to the same conclusion as before. This was also the result of a mine attack and the main reason for the sinking of the freighter.
Next, the underwater robot entered the hole and began to explore the situation inside.
It was a cabin connected to the stern propeller, not a cargo cabin. There was no cargo in it. It was just some mechanical transmission equipment that was already rusty!
Similar to the previous engine room, in that cabin, the underwater robot did not find the opportunity to go to other cabins and retreated from the original route.
After exploring the side of the ship, the underwater robot began to explore the main deck and ship building of the freighter. As for the other side of the ship, it was temporarily unable to explore because it capsized on the sandy bottom of the seabed.
If you want to explore the situation on the other side of the hull, you can only right the hull and use an underwater robot to explore. That is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, and Ye Tian does not intend to do that!
For him, as long as he dives deep into the seabed and gets close to the freighter, the situation on the other side of the freighter will be clear and panoramic!
Besides, he came here for the gold, jewels and diamonds in the sunken ship, not for the sunken ship itself.
Perhaps the Germans are more interested in completely salvaging this sunken ship from the water, but Ye Tian doesn't intend to put in the effort!
On the messy main deck of the freighter, the underwater robot found several badly damaged wooden boxes that were still covered by rope nets. They were scattered in the corners of the deck and had not fallen into the seabed.
The remaining words on those wooden boxes indicate that the goods contained inside are either gum arabic or olive oil, which are specialties of North Africa.
Although those boxes were not filled with gold, jewelry and diamonds, people were even more certain that this was the freighter that transported Rommel's treasure!
The reason is simple. Those boxes containing gum arabic and olive oil are just a cover to hide their presence. How can boxes filled with gold, jewelry and diamonds be stacked on the main deck?
Next, the underwater robot entered the ship building again and began to explore the situation inside the ship building.
In the ship building, in addition to various mechanical equipment, communication tools, and messy furniture, there were only some corpses that died in miserable conditions and were still struggling desperately until death.
No need to ask, they are all crew members on this cargo ship, and they are most likely German soldiers who disguised themselves as sailors to **** the treasure for their commander Rommel!
When the freighter was attacked by mines one after another and began to take in water and sink, they either had no time to escape, or had no chance to escape at all, and had no choice but to follow the freighter to hell!
As for the Rommel treasure they secretly escorted, it naturally sank on this seabed and completely disappeared from the world, becoming one of the most famous World War II relics to this day!
During the investigation, the underwater robot found a line of German written with a sharp tool on the wall of a corridor in the ship building, which read, 'Farewell, Hannah, I will always love you Fred! ‘
The German line was written very sloppily and hastily, barely legible, but it was so heartfelt and heartbreaking to see!
The appearance of these crew members or the remains of these German soldiers in the freighter ship building caused a huge sensation on the live broadcast side.
And that line of farewell greetings to a loved one, written in German, made countless people on the live broadcast shed tears, sighing, and being very moved!
It took only a few minutes for the German government to react.
Through David in New York, they quickly contacted Ye Tian, hoping that he would protect the remains of the deceased in a humanitarian spirit and avoid causing secondary harm!
The Germans even made a request to send people to participate in the next undersea exploration operation to witness and supervise the entire process of the exploration operation!
They said it very nicely, saying that they were doing it in a humanitarian spirit and to protect the dignity of the deceased, but the real purpose was probably more than that. You can guess it with the soles of your feet!
Ye Tian agreed to the Germans' request to protect the remains of the deceased.
In front of cameras and countless live broadcast viewers, some superficial work is still necessary to avoid criticism!
He told the Germans very clearly that in the next exploration operation, he would tell all personnel involved in exploration and salvage to protect the remains of the deceased and give them due respect!
As for the Germans' request to participate in the exploration operation, he refused without even thinking about it and refused without leaving any room!
Except for the corpses of the crew members, some debris, and a few rusty guns, the underwater robot found nothing else in the ship building.
This situation was expected, and Ye Tian was not surprised.
Since you want to fish in troubled waters and cross the English Channel, the gold, jewels and diamonds cannot be on the main deck or in the ship building. They must be hidden very secretly!
When the underwater robot finished exploring the ship building and was about to enter the cabin through an open hatch, Ye Tian suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Guys, there is no need to enter the cabin. After all, it is the bottom of the sea. The transmission distance of wireless remote control signals is limited, and the situation in the cabin is complicated. I am worried that the underwater robot will get lost in the depths of the cabin!
The exploration mission of the underwater robot ends here, and it has been completed very well. You control the wireless-controlled underwater robot to exit the freighter, explore the surrounding situation, and then take it back.
Next, we and the live broadcast team will take a small sightseeing submarine into the sea to observe and explore the freighter at close range to prepare for the exploration and salvage operations that will begin later."
"Got it, Steven, let's get out of the freighter now!"
As soon as Kenny finished speaking, the orange underwater robot began to adjust its posture and prepare to exit the ship building!
