This is an underwater world shrouded in darkness. Except for some marine creatures that occasionally swim by and glow by themselves, there is no light and naturally nothing can be seen.
Suddenly, a powerful beam of light was projected from the sea water above, like a bolt of lightning, directly cutting through the darkness and bringing light to this dark underwater world.
Immediately afterwards, a luminous droplet-shaped object slowly fell and broke into this dark underwater world.
Stimulated by the strong light, many marine creatures that originally lived at this depth and swam freely immediately dispersed and fled in all directions, towards the distant seawater that was still shrouded in darkness.
There were also some brave guys among them. After swimming a certain distance, they found that the drop-shaped object emitting strong light did not attack and was not a threat, so they stopped immediately.
They all turned around and looked at this strange luminous object curiously. Some marine creatures even swam over here, preparing to get a closer look.
At this moment, another powerful beam of light suddenly appeared not far away, still coming from the sea water above.
The next moment, a larger drop-shaped luminous object fell from the sky and came to this dark underwater world.
Unsurprisingly, this underwater world once again caused a commotion, and the movement was even bigger.
These two sudden water drop-shaped luminous objects were exactly two Aurora mini-submarines launched from the Brave and Dauntless. The smaller one was led by Matisse, and the larger one was led by Ye Tian himself.
After about ten minutes of diving, the two Aurora mini-submarines, one large and one small, had successively dived to a depth of about 160 meters below the sea surface.
The arrival of the two Aurora mini-submarines is like two small suns falling from the sky, suspended in the dark sea water, echoing each other and extremely eye-catching.
Especially the arrival of the second small submarine not only brought light to this dark underwater world, but also brought many marine creatures, including dolphins, loggerhead sea turtles, etc.
Especially those Mediterranean spotted dolphins. As soon as they reached this depth, those guys rushed out quickly and started chasing other frightened marine creatures, causing chaos here.
It looks like they are hunting, but in fact it is more like playing and having fun!
On the other hand, the two huge loggerhead turtles still stayed obediently next to the small submarine that Ye Tian and the others were riding on, unwilling to leave for a moment, just like two door gods!
After diving to a depth of 160 meters, the two small submarines paused their dive and suspended at this depth.
This is a strategy that everyone has discussed in advance, and it is also for safety reasons.
Compared with the previously explored English Channel, there is relatively little hydrogeological data in this sea area. Whether those hydrogeological data are reliable is still a matter of debate.
In addition, there are frequent earthquakes in the Ionian Basin, and the seafloor topography may have changed, so we must be cautious.
Because of this, Ye Tian and the others chose to pause at this relatively safe depth, make slight adjustments here, then reduce their speed and gradually explore and dive.
As soon as the submarine stopped, Ye Tian said through the intercom:
"Mattis, prepare to activate the submarine's own wireless underwater communication equipment, top-level tracking system, and GPS tracking device, and then disconnect the top cables and oxygen pipes to allow the Intrepid to recover.
When I dived to about 95 meters just now, I discovered an undercurrent. It should be caused by the huge difference in the topography of the seabed and the different salinity of the upper and lower seawater. I have to be more careful.
When we reach the ridge, the Brave and Intrepid will put down its decompression stop. If it accidentally encounters an undercurrent, it may be entangled with the cables and oxygen pipes on the top of the submarine.
In this case, it is best for us to disconnect the cables and oxygen pipes on the top of the submarine and use the submarine's own power and oxygen production equipment. In fact, this is more free and easier to move."
"Understood, Steven, we will contact the Intrepid on the sea immediately, and then disconnect the cables and oxygen pipes on the top of the submarine"
Mattis responded in a deep voice, and then took action.
At this moment, the voice of the host of the NBC TV live broadcast team suddenly came from the intercom.
"Steven, if the cable connecting the submarine to the Intrepid at sea is disconnected, will there be any impact on the live broadcast?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Peterson. The two deep-diving decompression stops that will be put down immediately are also two communication relay stations. The high-tech underwater communication equipment they carry can connect the seabed and the sea surface.
In other words, no matter what we see at the bottom of the sea or what wonderful pictures you take, it can be transmitted to the sea and to countless live broadcast terminals immediately without any delay."
"Wow! That couldn't be better"
Peterson exclaimed and said nothing more.
Next, the two small submarines disconnected the cables and oxygen pipes on the top one after another, allowing the Brave and Dauntless to take back the anchored ship on the sea.
Immediately afterwards, the Brave and Intrepid lowered the two deep-diving decompression stops to an intermediate depth of about ninety meters, and then suspended them there.
At a depth of 160 meters below the sea surface, the two small submarines that had been untied had already converged at one place, with a distance of only ten or twenty meters from each other.
People in the cockpits of the two small submarines can clearly see each other as long as they turn their heads, just like on the sea.
"Mattis, if you dive a few meters further, you should be able to see the peak of the ridge below. During the dive, the speed must be slow, safety first, try to avoid the cliff edge, and be careful of cracks. and sea cave.
If those ancient Roman shipwrecks landed on the sea ridge, they must be in a relatively wide and flat place, so there is no need to explore the towering peaks. After reaching the top of the peak, we searched side by side on the left and right.
Turn on all the lights at the bottom of the submarine, dispel the darkness below, and see what’s down there. If you find something but can’t confirm what it is, you’d better tell me in time.”
Ye Tian said through the intercom, and pointed at the seawater shrouded in darkness below.
In the five Aurora mini-submarines not far apart, Mattis immediately nodded in response.
"Understood, Steven, we will be careful"
"Okay, let's get started. We don't know what is waiting for us in the dark world below. I hope it will be a huge surprise"
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, giving the order to take action.
Before he finished speaking, the lights on the bottom of the two small submarines were all turned on, and the light emitted suddenly became more intense.
As several powerful beams of light shot toward the seafloor, a ridge towering above the seafloor loomed in everyone's field of vision.
The images shown on the surveillance screen and on countless live broadcasts cast a heavy shadow.
Even though it was just a shadow, it still attracted a cry of exclamation.
"Wow! Steven and the guys are really lucky to have found the first ridge so quickly. I wonder what they can find?"
"I have to say, this kind of underwater adventure is so exciting. I really wish I was in those two small submarines!"
Just when people were amazed, Ye Tian glanced at the shadow below, then said with a smile:
"Let's go, guys, let's go down there and have a look"
As the order came out, the two Aurora small submarines began to dive again and continued to sneak deeper into the ocean.
After only diving five or six meters, the top of a towering mountain appeared diagonally below the two small submarines.
This submarine mountain is very steep and covered with various corals, seaweed, etc. Under the light, it looks colorful and very beautiful.
Between these corals and seaweeds, there are many beautiful marine creatures living, and this is their home.
Just because of the arrival of the two small submarines and the group of Mediterranean spotted dolphins, these marine creatures were frightened and immediately dispersed, quickly fled away, or found places to hide.
On the east and west sides of this towering mountain, there are cliffs that stand thousands of feet high. Along the cliffs, there is an endless abyss and darkness that makes you dizzy!
The terrain on the north and south sides of the mountain is relatively gentle, but due to the limited illumination distance of the searchlight, no more content can be seen for the time being.
Ye Tian quickly scanned the seabed terrain, and then said loudly:
“As far as the current situation is concerned, this ridge is the same as described in the relevant hydrogeological data. It is a north-south ridge with a huge drop and cliffs everywhere.
The ancient Roman shipwreck treasure we are looking for is obviously not possible on this mountain peak. Matisse, let us first explore south along the mountain, and then go back and explore the north."
"Okay, Steven, let's get started"
Mattis responded, his tone already a bit impatient.
Next, the two small submarines continued to dive, slowly reaching a place five or six meters above the submarine mountain, and maintained this depth.
Immediately afterwards, the two small submarines adjusted their direction and slowly explored southward along the mountains of this ridge.
Following their movements, an even more beautiful underwater world of the Mediterranean suddenly appeared in front of Ye Tian and the others, as well as in front of countless viewers on the live broadcast.
Unsurprisingly, this once again elicited a cry of exclamation.
But what people are more concerned about is the ancient Roman shipwreck treasures, the sculptures from the ancient Roman or Hellenistic periods, and antique artworks!
