As the distance continued to get closer, the outline of the sunken ship in front became clearer and clearer. Ye Tian and Matisse became more and more excited, and their eyes became brighter and brighter!
In the blink of an eye, they had arrived near the sunken ship and stopped slowly four or five meters away.
Then, the two quickly adjusted the buoyancy vests and used the diving propeller to float themselves in the water. Their feet were very close to the seabed, only about 40 to 50 centimeters.
The seabed directly below them is a small piece of white sand, with no protruding rocks and no crustacean bottom-dwelling marine life. Only one or two small fish occasionally swim by. It doesn't look dangerous!
But because of the ancient sunken ship in front of him, no one knew whether there were any sharp objects hidden under the white sand. For safety reasons, it was better not to land.
The two of them had just stabilized their bodies, and before they had time to take stock of their surroundings, a dozen beautiful red and yellow fish suddenly swam out from the boat building, swaying their tail fins and swimming straight towards them.
This is a small group of yellow vertical stripes. If you have studied ornamental fish, you can recognize them at a glance.
The yellow vertical stripe is a shallow sea-dwelling fish with a body length of up to 30 centimeters. The spindle-shaped light red fish has many bright yellow stripes on its body, running through the body from head to tail. It is very beautiful!
Obviously, these guys were attracted by the light emitted by the searchlights.
Their appearance successfully attracted the attention of Ye Tian and Matisse. The two temporarily moved their eyes away from the sunken ship in front of them to admire this group of beautiful sea fish!
Soon, these guys swam closer and swam quickly around Ye Tian and Matisse.
These guys have a strong curiosity about the front end of the thruster and the searchlights on Ye Tian and the others. From time to time, they will swim in front of several searchlights to observe these things that emit strong light.
A few yellow vertical stripes are more lively, flying up and down around the lights emitted by the searchlights, chasing quickly, as if to catch these bright beams!
Some fish swam in front of the full-face diving goggles and looked curiously at Ye Tian and the others inside the goggles, wondering what kind of creatures these strange guys were!
Under the illumination of the light, the movements of these yellow vertical stripes appear very agile, elegant and pleasing to the eye!
After cruising around Ye Tian for a while and their curiosity gone, these beautiful fish left and swam towards the bow of the boat!
"The colors of these guys are so bright! Especially under the light, they look particularly charming. When I return to New York, I plan to keep a few for fun to decorate my life. They will be very interesting!"
Matisse admired in a low voice, his eyes still staring at the beautiful fish that were gradually moving away.
"The yellow vertical stripe is indeed a very beautiful ornamental fish. It is very suitable to keep at home. It will definitely add a bit of beauty to your life. I like these guys too!"
Ye Tian nodded slightly, his eyes following those yellow vertical stripes.
It wasn't until the dozens of beautiful fish disappeared over the bow of the ship that they looked away and looked at the sunken ship on the seabed so close at hand.
This is indeed a Spanish four-masted galleon, and it is indeed an armed transport ship, not a warship. The situation is the same as what we saw before, but now it is clearer!
The fifty-meter-long ancient Galenic sailing ship may not look like much from a distance. But when you get closer and look again, you immediately realize that it is a huge vessel, which is quite shocking!
Especially the holes on the side of the ship that were hit by solid cannonballs, as well as the huge cracks and bullet marks of varying depths all over the ship's hull, are even more shocking! You can even feel the smoke of gunfire!
“I don’t know what this transport ship is carrying, but it was attacked so crazily! It can be seen from these dense bullet marks that this transport ship must have been under siege!
To besiege a Spanish armed transport ship in the Caribbean, it was either a large group of pirates or the British fleet, which was competing with Spain for maritime supremacy at the time!
But no matter who they are, they must be here for the goods carried on the ship, otherwise they will lose more than they gain! What exactly is on this armed transport ship? I'm very curious! "
Ye Tian pointed at the devastated hull and said, his eyes full of expectation.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's start exploring, Steven. I'm also very curious and can't wait to enter the cabin to see what's inside!"
Mattis said excitedly, with an expression eager to try.
"Okay! Matisse, we must first find out the identity of this transport ship and determine whether it is the Malaga Princess treasure ship. Regarding this, I believe we can find the exact answer in the ship building!
After searching the ship building, let's enter the cabin again to see what cargo is inside. It has attracted such a crazy siege. I hope it is a large number of dazzling gold and silver treasures. That would be perfect! "
After saying that, Ye Tian controlled the diving propeller and swam out, heading straight to the severely damaged three-story ship building on the right front.
Matisse followed closely behind, his eyes shining with excitement.
In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at their location and were suspended in the water in front of the ship building.
After taking a quick look at the ship building, Ye Tian quickly determined the starting point of the search.
"Matisse, let's start from the top deck and search layer by layer. It's best not to miss any corner. Search this sunken ship thoroughly!
As long as there is no treasure in this sunken ship, we will just treat it as entertainment. If there is a treasure, even if it is only a gold coin, don't miss it! "
“Okay! This arrangement is very reasonable. Compared with the several sunken ships we encountered before, this sunken ship is obviously more important. I can’t take it too seriously!”
Mattis nodded and said, "There is no disagreement."
Then, driven by the diving propeller, the two swam towards the uppermost deck of the ship.
The uppermost deck of the Galen ship is located on the top of the ship building. It is not large in area and cannot be used to carry cargo. It is not the main position for defensive operations. Its main function is to provide lookout and warning.
As the top deck, it is naturally open-air, and there are not many gun emplacements like other decks.
There are only two gun positions here. The caliber of the artillery is very small, just two five-pound cannons. The range and power are quite limited, not much better than the Suifu musket!
If a battle breaks out, it will mainly be the musketeers who will fight on this deck, not the two insignificant five-pound cannons.
Ye Tian and the others quickly swam to the deck and officially began their exploration of the sunken ship.
In fact, there is nothing to explore here, everything is clear and clear.
Like other parts of this sunken ship, this deck is also covered with a lot of coral, layer upon layer, and there are corals from all ages!
Similarly, there was a heavy attack here.
There are several gaps on the side of the ship on both sides. It looks like they were hit by solid cannonballs. The strong solid wood railings have been smashed to pieces and are about to fall apart!
The gun emplacements on both sides of the ship were empty. The two five-pound guns originally placed there had already flown to who knows where!
Ye Tian and the others had no hope of finding anything on this deck.
The reason why they swam here was not only to see the situation, but also to leave the diving thrusters here to facilitate their next actions.
With a quick glance, Ye Tian completely grasped the situation here, without any exploration value!
Then he raised his finger and pointed at the railing on the side of the ship and said:
"Mattis, let's leave the diving thruster here. The space in the cabin is too small. Carrying the thruster will not only be of no help, but it will be a burden! It will not be conducive to the next operation!"
After saying that, he unlatched the quick-release lock that connected the diving propeller to his waist and tied the propeller to the railing on the side of the ship.
"Okay!"
Mattis responded and did the same thing.
After removing the diving thrusters one after another, the two people immediately left the top deck and swam to the second deck of the ship together, ready to explore there!
