www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of treasure hunting around the world!
Deep under the sea, exploration operations continue, and surprises continue to appear.
"Steven, this hatch is closed too tight and can't be opened at all"
Raymond said with a wry smile, and reluctantly let go of the rotating handwheel of the hatch in front of him.
"Let me try. If I can't open it, then I'll have to use the crowbar. If it doesn't work, I'll cut it. No matter what, we have to open this hatch and see what's in this cabin." What baby! "
As he spoke, Ye Tian swung forward with his legs, replacing Raymond, and then held the rotating handwheel with both hands, trying to open the almost completely rusted hatch.
At this time, they were in front of a cabin directly below the freighter building, ready to enter the cabin for investigation.
Others don't know, but Ye Tian knows very well what treasures are hidden in this cabin and how much they are worth.
Excluding the engine room, fresh water tank, etc., this is the last cabin with hidden treasures in front of you, and the value of the treasures inside is very considerable, enough to drive people crazy!
So, everyone must enter this cabin, no matter what method is used, even if it means tearing the cabin door into eight pieces!
After exploring this cargo hold, and then symbolically checking out the other places, everyone can leave here and explore the ancient battleship four to five hundred meters away!
In the past hour or so, in several other cabins of this cargo ship, Ye Tian and the others found more than eight tons of gold, close to nine tons!
In addition, they also found seven boxes of jewelry and diamonds.
There are full boxes of African specialty gemstones such as tanzanite blue, rubies, and opals, as well as a box of uncut rough diamonds and a number of diamonds that have been preliminary cut and polished.
In addition to these, there are also a large number of antique works of art made of gold and inlaid with various gemstones. Each piece is extremely exquisite and valuable!
The total value of all these Nacui gold, jewelry and diamonds is as high as about 1.2 billion US dollars, far exceeding the valuation announced by Ye Tian at the Paris press conference!
Of course, this is far beyond the valuation of that idiot Cook.
Looking at the dazzling gold, jewels and diamonds on the live broadcast screen, that idiot Cook was so angry that he almost died. His heart was filled with regret, and he hated Ye Tian to the extreme!
As these Nacui gold and jewelry diamonds were discovered one after another, the sensation caused by this treasure hunt became more and more huge. It is no exaggeration to say that the whole world was shocked!
Of course, more and more eyes are gathering in this sea area, on Ye Tian, and on the gold, jewelry and diamonds.
Without exception, these gazes are extremely hot, and every gaze is full of envy, even jealousy, and greed that cannot be concealed at all!
Although Ye Tian and the others are deep under the sea, through wireless headsets and a series of other high-tech means, they are fully aware of the situation on the sea and the outside world.
Everything that happened in the outside world was basically within Ye Tian's expectation. Nothing too unexpected happened, and it did not pose a threat to their exploration of the seabed for the time being!
This is enough. As long as these gold, jewelry and diamonds are successfully fished out of the water and transported to the Brave and Dauntless, everything will be fine!
Next, no matter who or what kind of gods, if you want to take advantage of these gold, jewelry and diamonds, you must be prepared to go to hell!
After holding the rotating handwheel in the center of the hatch, Ye Tian exerted a little force and first tested the tightness of the handwheel.
Not moving at all!
Obviously, the handwheel that opens the hatch and the transmission device inside the hatch are completely rusted, making it difficult to open the hatch with this handwheel.
Seeing Ye Tian's actions, Raymond stepped aside and said immediately:
"What do you think, Steven, can't you turn this handwheel? In my opinion, we can just cut directly, so as not to waste time. I'll go outside to get the cutting equipment!"
Ye Tian gently shook his head and said with a smile:
"I'll try again. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to get the cutting equipment. There's plenty of time!"
As he spoke, he began to increase the strength in his hands and continued to rotate the hand wheel.
At first, the handwheel remained motionless, as if it was growing on the hatch, with no sign of rotation.
However, as Ye Tian exerted more and more force on the handwheel, cracks gradually appeared in the rust at the connection between the handwheel and the hatch, and the cracks became bigger and bigger!
Soon, pieces of rust began to fall off, and there seemed to be a sound of the machine rotating in everyone's ears.
Immediately afterwards, the handwheel held tightly by Ye Tian began to rotate slowly. This thick hatch that had been sealed for more than seventy years seemed to be showing signs of opening!
Seeing this scene, Raymond next to him couldn't help but gasped and was secretly shocked!
Except for Ye Tian, he knows better than anyone how rusty the hand wheel is and how difficult it is to open the hatch. It is almost an impossible task!
However, Steven turned the handwheel and was about to open the hatch, and it didn't seem to take much effort!
This shows how terrifying this guy's power is. He must be much stronger than he knows!
Once the handwheel starts turning, the rest will be easy!
Just a few seconds later, Ye Tian rotated the hand wheel once, and the unusually thick hatch opened a gap, and the searchlight immediately shone in.
The hatch opened wider and wider, and the situation in the cargo hold appeared before everyone's eyes.
Like the previous cargo holds, there are also some wooden crates stacked here, but the number is much smaller, only about twenty, all covered by rope nets, and some thick cables can also be seen!
In a moment, the hatch was fully opened.
"Let's go, guys, let's go in and take a look. In this cargo hold, I believe we will find something, maybe a huge surprise!"
With that said, Ye Tian immediately swam into the cargo hold and swam straight to the wooden crates covered under the rope net.
Following him, Matisse and Raymond also followed.
After arriving in front of the pile of wooden crates and using the rope net to stabilize his body, Ye Tian began to look at the boxes under the rope net.
Like other boxes on the freighter, the text messages left on these wooden boxes indicate that the goods inside are either gum arabic or olive oil.
But at this time, everyone knew that the two famous African specialties were just things to hide from others. There was something else in these boxes.
Ye Tian quickly glanced at the situation in the cargo hold, then said with a smile:
"Guys, there are not many boxes here, only about twenty, which are easy to check. Let's get started and see what treasures are contained in these wooden boxes!"
"Okay, Steven, I can't wait!"
Raymond said excitedly, and immediately stretched out his hand to press the wooden box closest to him.
Mattis swam to the other side and began to investigate.
While they were investigating, many people were staring closely at the live broadcast, waiting to witness the miracle again.
In the blink of an eye, Matisse’s excited voice came over.
"Steven, Raymond, come and take a look. There is a broken wooden box here. There seems to be a gold sculpture and several red sandalwood boxes of different sizes inside!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian and Raymond immediately turned their heads and looked over, then swung their legs lightly and swam directly to Matisse.
As they approached, the two of them saw the wooden crate at a glance.
During the sinking of the freighter, the box experienced a violent collision. One corner of the box had collapsed, and the rest of the box was also covered with cracks. It was not far from falling apart!
Through the collapsed corner and the gaps of different widths, one can vaguely see that there is indeed a gold sculpture inside the box, which is about 40 centimeters high. Unfortunately, the whole thing cannot be seen!
In addition to the gold sculpture, you can also see the corners of several red sandalwood boxes. The purple-brown color and unique wood grain are very conspicuous under the searchlight and are highly recognizable!
"As I expected, there is a surprise here. Let me see, what is that golden statue? What treasures are contained in those red sandalwood boxes?"
As he said that, Ye Tian held down the box with one hand, and held a wooden board in the cave with the other hand. With a little force, he lifted up the wooden board.
Then he reached in, took out a flat box about thirty centimeters long and wide, and took it in his hand.
Mattisse, Raymond, and everyone on the live broadcast side immediately looked at the box, with everyone's eyes full of curiosity and expectation!
Ye Tian was not in a hurry to open the gold-rimmed red sandalwood box, but looked over it over and over and admired it, looking at it very seriously!
Next, he said to Mattis:
"Matisse, cut off this padlock and let us see what treasure is inside. It is actually stored in a red sandalwood box. It may be a priceless treasure!"
When he said these words, a look of ecstasy flashed across Ye Tian's eyes, but no one noticed it.
"Okay, Steven"
Mattis responded and immediately started to take action.
In the blink of an eye, the padlock on the red sandalwood box was cut off and fell to the floor.
The next second, Ye Tian reached out and gently opened the lid, and the treasure contained in the red sandalwood box was immediately displayed in front of everyone.
A dazzling golden light flashed, and Matisse’s surprised voice sounded.
"Hey! This thing looks like a mask, and it's a golden mask with a cat face. It's so strange that there is such a thing!"
Not only Matisse, but also many people on the live broadcast looked at the live broadcast in surprise and confusion, looking at the slightly mysterious and somewhat weird cat-faced golden mask!
Just when people were confused and confused, Ye Tian's excited voice suddenly came and reached everyone's ears.
"This is indeed a golden mask with a cat face, but its origin is extraordinary. If I read it correctly, this should be the golden mask of the cat **** Best, which comes from ancient Egypt and has a history of 2,600 years ago!"
Before the words were spoken, countless live broadcasts were already completely boiling, and screams of exclamation sounded wildly, one after another, endlessly!
