Compared to the first exploration site, the lake at the second exploration site is deeper.
The small underwater robot dived for about 70 meters, but still did not reach the bottom of the lake, and did not even photograph the algae growing in the lake.
This situation suffices to show that the depth of the bottom of the lake is at least 80 meters or even deeper.
Seeing this result, Mustafa and both of them were very surprised.
"I didn't expect this water area to be so deep. In the hydrological records surveyed by our domestic institutions, the deepest part of Lake Tana is only more than 70 meters. I didn't expect there to be such a deep place.
It seems that I need to report this situation, and then organize relevant departments to conduct a careful survey to find out the truest hydrological situation of Lake Tana. Maybe there will be other discoveries! "
Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend, and said with a smile:
"Obviously, your Ethiopian government's understanding of Lake Tana is actually not comprehensive, and even worse than the Italians during World War II. You should indeed conduct a comprehensive investigation.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the deep waters that Italian talents drove the treasure ship here to sink it. In the next few decades, you never found this hidden treasure.
Of course, the reason why this water area is so deep is also related to the high water season of Lake Tana. The depth of Lake Tana will naturally increase as the rainy season has just passed, including this water area..."
While talking, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared on the big TV screen.
This black shadow is obliquely below the small underwater robot, which looks a bit like a mountain peak with many algae plants on it.
However, this black shadow is sharp towards this end of the small underwater robot.
More importantly, when the small underwater robot approached the black shadow, the underwater metal detector it carried suddenly rang, sounding like a natural sound.
The first time he heard this sound, Ye Tian waved his fist vigorously, pretending to be excited:
"Gentlemen, if I guessed correctly, we should have found the treasure ship that was scuttled by the Italians during World War II, and found that amazing treasure!"
Before the voice fell, there was cheers on the scene.
"Awesome! I finally found this amazing treasure, a worthwhile trip!"
"Wow! This is really good news, but I don't know how many valuable gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts are hidden in this treasure? This is too much to look forward to."
While cheering, everyone was high-fiving and everyone was very excited.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Guys, stop diving, turn on all the searchlights and thrusters, and slowly approach the black shadow. It's probably the treasure ship we're looking for.
When approaching, be careful of those algae plants. Don’t get entangled. After approaching the black shadow, don’t enter it and explore outside.”
"Understood, Steven, leave these things to us, don't worry."
The exploration team manipulating the underwater robot responded that these guys were also very excited.
The next moment, the small underwater robot stopped diving, then turned on all the searchlights and thrusters, and slowly leaned towards the black shadow lying on the bottom of the lake.
The picture on the big-screen TV changed accordingly, becoming clearer and brighter.
In a blink of an eye, the small underwater robot has approached the black shadow.
The protruding part of the black shadow was clearly presented on the video screen.
At the same time, the sound of the metal detector became more rapid.
"There is no doubt that this is the bow of a ship, and the ship is not small, but it is covered with algae, covering the original appearance.
As far as the situation around Lake Tana is concerned, ships of this size are rare. From this alone, it is basically certain that this is the treasure ship we are looking for! "
Ye Tian said decisively, and gave a positive conclusion.
Following his remarks, the scene was cheered again.
The small underwater robot located deep in the bottom of the lake continued to explore.
For safety's sake, the small underwater robot did not really dive to the bottom of the lake, but hovered above the treasure ship, taking pictures from a high altitude.
In order to cooperate with this small underwater robot hanging deep in the bottom of the lake, the engineering ship on the lake also lifted the iron anchor and began to slowly make a circle on the lake.
It didn't take long for the small underwater robot to determine the position, depth, and posture of the sunken ship at the bottom of the lake.
Fortunately, the terrain at the bottom of the lake is relatively flat.
The treasure ship remained basically intact, not broken, just lying in the depths of the lake, sleeping for more than 70 years.
And the depth of this lake is more than eighty-five meters!
This depth is unexpected and far exceeds the maximum depth of Lake Tana recorded in relevant hydrological data.
However, this is not important, and no one is paying attention.
It took about half an hour for the small underwater robot to complete the preliminary survey work.
Then, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Guys, take that small underwater robot back. Its mission has been completed. Next, the diver will be on the scene."
"Okay, Steven"
Several exploratory team members responded and acted immediately.
The next moment, the small underwater robot began to ascend quickly and left the bottom of the lake.
In the cabin of the engineering ship on the lake, Ye Tian has already begun to prepare for the next exploration.
"Gentlemen, next I will lead several divers to dive into the depths of the lake personally to check the situation of the sunken ship, hoping that this is the treasure ship we are looking for.
If this is really the treasure ship that the Italians scuttled, we will find a way to enter it, check the situation inside the ship, and if it is impossible to enter, we can only cut open the ship.
Mustafa, because of the special conditions at the bottom of the lake, you have no deep diving training, you can't do deep diving, and you can't even swim, so you can only stay in the cabin.
During the exploration, we will wear a high-definition underwater camera to record the entire exploration process. You can watch it on a large-screen TV and participate in the exploration in this way.
Of course, you have another option, which is to take our company’s small laser private submarine and follow us to dive into the depths of the lake to explore this hidden treasure! "
Before he could say anything, Mustafa shook his head resolutely.
"We'd better stay on the lake! Steven, you are right. I can't even swim. Wherever I dare to dive, wherever I dare to dive into the bottom of a lake more than 80 meters deep to explore treasures.
As for taking your small private submarine for deep diving, to be honest, I don’t dare. The thought of diving into such a deep lake and entering a dark world makes me a little scared! "
"It's okay, Mustafa, you have never had this experience. It's normal to feel fear. It's human nature, and it's the same with other people.
You stay in this cabin and participate in real-time exploration operations at the bottom of the lake through video images. The effect is actually the same, and it is safer! "
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said.
He had anticipated this situation a long time ago. In the entire Ethiopian exploratory team, and even the entire Ethiopian, there is no deep diving master.
What's more, it is impossible for Mustafa, a landduck, to dive deep into the lake.
Unlike Mustafa, the host of the National Geographic Channel broadcast team was eager to try.
Although this guy does not have a deep dive certificate, as a media reporter, he has enough adventurous spirit.
"Steven, can we take that aurora submarine and follow you to the depths of the lake, filming the whole process of exploring the treasure ship at the bottom of the lake? That must be very exciting!"
Ye Tian looked at this guy, then smiled and shook his head.
"No way this time, Carl, we haven't figured out the situation deep in the bottom of the lake. Maybe there are many hidden dangers, so you can't follow us this time.
Except for a small part of the video data we shot in the depths of the lake, you can use the rest of the video data to make exploration programs and broadcast them publicly.
After we find out the situation at the bottom of the lake, make sure that the treasure left over from World War II is at the bottom of the lake, and eliminate the danger, you can take a small submarine and go down to the bottom of the lake to take pictures."
This result disappointed the reporter of National Geographic Channel.
But he can only accept it and has no other choice.
"Well, Steven, I hope we have the opportunity to go down to the bottom of the lake and explore this treasure left over from World War II with you!"
As Ye Tian made arrangements, the small underwater robot had been lifted onto the lake and placed on the deck of the engineering ship.
Matisse and a few brave people are also busy exploring the company's employees.
They are busy deploying personnel and various equipment to prepare for the upcoming deep dive exploration operations.
...
In a blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.
Except for Mustafa, an Ethiopian archaeologist, and a lawyer representing the Ethiopian government, the rest of the people on the engineering ship who were not the Fearless Exploration Company were all invited away.
These people were transferred to a medium-sized cruise ship and stayed with the exploratory team who remained on the cruise ship.
Of course, the broadcast team of the National Geographic Channel remains on the engineering ship.
After such operations, the engineering ship was completely under Ye Tian's control and there were no hidden dangers.
He did this, of course, out of security considerations.
While completing the deployment of personnel, Ye Tian and the others are ready for deep dive exploration.
Due to the limited volume of the custom-made iron cage, several spare oxygen cylinders and diving thrusters, as well as some underwater exploration equipment, so the first wave of deep diving can not be too many people.
Apart from Ye Tian, only Peter and Charlie dived with him to explore the sunken ship at the bottom of the lake.
As for the engineering ship on the lake, it was controlled by Matisse.
Those who operate cranes and other equipment are all exploration team members under Ye Tian.
On the deck of the engineering ship, Ye Tian and the others, wearing full-face diving suits, went straight to the stern.
The crane on this medium-sized engineering ship is located at the stern.
Since the iron cage is relatively large, it is safer to put it in the water from the stern.
David and Mustafa also followed, and everyone looked forward to it.
The reporters and photographers of the National Geographic Channel Broadcast Team will naturally not be absent. The camera lens always follows Ye Tian and the others.
When he came to the stern, Ye Tian first checked the crane and the iron cage that he was going to carry a few people for deep diving.
Especially the escape doors on all sides of the iron cage, he tried them one by one to see if they could open and close smoothly.
Later, when going deep dive exploration, if the crane breaks down, they can escape from the iron cage as soon as possible.
For example, the wire rope hanging from the iron cage is broken!
Once this happens, if they cannot escape from the iron cage as soon as possible, they may be taken by the iron cage and sink into the depths of the lake quickly!
In that case, each of them would have their lungs burst instantly and die directly at the bottom of the lake.
In addition to carrying them deep dives and helping them save energy, this iron cage is also a diving decompression stop.
When they dive to a certain depth, they stay in the lake for a period of time to adapt to changes in water pressure.
Once they have adapted to the water pressure and adjusted their state, they can continue to dive.
With the depth of this lake of more than 80 meters, for safety reasons, they need to make two decompression stops in the middle before they can dive to the bottom of the lake.
When returning from the bottom of the lake, they also have to make a decompression stop in the water before they can rise to the surface.
To be safe, there is an auxiliary steel cable on this iron cage, which is connected to another small winch.
Under such double insurance, if no one deliberately sabotages, there should be no problems.
Except for cranes and iron cages, the rest are like steel cables and cables, as well as spare oxygen tanks and diving suits, underwater communication equipment, diving thrusters and various other exploration and deep diving equipment. Ye Tian looked through them one by one.
He didn't find any problems, these equipments are in the best condition.
Next, he turned his head to look at Matisse, who was standing aside.
"How is the situation under the engineering ship? Are the Nile crocodiles still there? If possible, I still don't want to fight with those guys in the lake. I have killed too many Nile crocodiles yesterday."
"I'm afraid it's unavoidable, Steven. Those guys are still cruising near the engineering ship. Once you start diving, you will probably be spotted by those guys. It depends on whether they will attack."
Matisse responded, briefly introducing the situation.
"I hope those guys are smarter and don't want to kill themselves. Maybe I can conquer these Nile crocodiles, just like the sharks I encountered in the depths of the sea before!"
Ye Tian said with a smile.
"I think it's very possible. You guy can always get the affection of all kinds of animals and quickly become friends with them. These ferocious Nile crocodile must be no exception."
David continued.
After chatting for a few words, Ye Tian suddenly remembered something, and said with a serious expression:
"There is one thing I want to remind everyone, don't enter the captain's room, the priceless sheepskin scroll is placed in the captain's room, guarded by the little white elf.
Except me, anyone who enters the captain's room will be attacked by that little guy. It is not a joke, everyone must remember this point and never take risks! "
Hearing this, everyone on the scene shuddered and frightened.
Especially Mustafa, a look of horror flashed in his eyes, and he was very helpless.
"You damned bastard, this engineering ship is full of people under your command, isn't you doing this to guard against the few of us!"
Then he exhorted a few more words, Ye Tian put on the diving mask, and then walked with Peter to the lowest stern deck.
At this time, the iron cage used for deep diving has been hoisted into the lake, ready for deep diving.
Coming to the stern deck, Ye Tian quickly scanned the situation in the lake, and then said to Peter and the others:
"Guys, let's get started. Go to the bottom of Lake Tana to see if the shipwreck is the treasure ship we are looking for, and if the amazing treasures are hidden in the shipwreck.
After entering the water, if the nearby Nile crocodiles swim over, they did not actively attack our previous ~www.novelhall.com~ and we don't have to fight back. If those guys actively attack, then kill them! "
As he said, he raised the speargun in his hand.
This deep dive exploration is different from the past. There is an iron cage to protect everyone from being attacked by Nile crocodile and other lake creatures.
In view of this, the speargun is undoubtedly the most suitable self-defense weapon.
In addition to spearguns, Ye Tian also brought other self-defense weapons, such as underwater pistols and sabers.
"Understood, Steven"
Peter and Charlie replied in unison, and then walked into the iron cage half submerged in the water.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian also walked in.
After closing the door from the cage, he immediately said:
"Release the sling, guys!"
In the next moment, the iron cage slowly sank into the lake.

Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

From this alone, it is basically certain that this is the treasure ship we are looking for! "Ye Tian said decisively, and gave a positive conclusion.Following his remarks, the scene was cheered again.The small underwater robot located deep in the bottom of the lake continued to explore.For safety's sake, the small underwater robot did not really dive to the bottom of the lake, but hovered above the treasure ship, taking pictures from a high altitude.In order to cooperate with this small underwater robot hanging deep in the bottom of the lake, the engineering ship on the lake also lifted the iron anchor and began to slowly make a circle on the lake.It didn't take long for the small underwater robot to determine the position, depth, and posture of the sunken ship at the bottom of the lake.Fortunately, the terrain at the bottom of the lake is relatively flat.The treasure ship remained basically intact, not broken, just lying in the depths of the lake, sleeping for more than 70 years.And the depth of this lake is more than eighty-five meters!This depth is unexpected and far exceeds the maximum depth of Lake Tana recorded in relevant hydrological data.However, this is not important, and no one is paying attention.It took about half an hour for the small underwater robot to complete the preliminary survey work.Then, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said:"Guys, take that small underwater robot back. Its mission has been completed. Next, the diver will be on the scene.""Okay, Steven"Several exploratory team members responded and acted immediately.The next moment, the small underwater robot began to ascend quickly and left the bottom of the lake.In the cabin of the engineering ship on the lake, Ye Tian has already begun to prepare for the next exploration."Gentlemen, next I will lead several divers to dive into the depths of the lake personally to check the situation of the sunken ship, hoping that this is the treasure ship we are looking for.If this is really the treasure ship that the Italians scuttled, we will find a way to enter it, check the situation inside the ship, and if it is impossible to enter, we can only cut open the ship.Mustafa, because of the special conditions at the bottom of the lake, you have no deep diving training, you can't do deep diving, and you can't even swim, so you can only stay in the cabin.During the exploration, we will wear a high-definition underwater camera to record the entire exploration process. You can watch it on a large-screen TV and participate in the exploration in this way.Of course, you have another option, which is to take our company's small laser private submarine and follow us to dive into the depths of the lake to explore this hidden treasure! "Before he could say anything, Mustafa shook his head resolutely."We'd better stay on the lake! Steven, you are right. I can't even swim. Wherever I dare to dive, wherever I dare to dive into the bottom of a lake more than 80 meters deep to explore treasures.As for taking your small private submarine for deep diving, to be honest, I don't dare. The thought of diving into such a deep lake and entering a dark world makes me a little scared! ""It's okay, Mustafa, you have never had this experience. It's normal to feel fear. It's human nature, and it's the same with other people.You stay in this cabin and participate in real-time exploration operations at the bottom of the lake through video images. The effect is actually the same, and it is safer! "Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said.He had anticipated this situation a long time ago. In the entire Ethiopian exploratory team, and even the entire Ethiopian, there is no deep diving master.What's more, it is impossible for Mustafa, a landduck, to dive deep into the lake.Unlike Mustafa, the host of the National Geographic Channel broadcast team was eager to try.Although this guy does not have a deep dive certificate, as a media reporter, he has enough adventurous spirit."Steven, can we take that aurora submarine and follow you to the depths of the lake, filming the whole process of exploring the treasure ship at the bottom of the lake? That must be very exciting!"Ye Tian looked at this guy, then smiled and shook his head."No way this time, Carl, we haven't figured out the situation deep in the bottom of the lake. Maybe there are many hidden dangers, so you can't follow us this time.Except for a small part of the video data we shot in the depths of the lake, you can use the rest of the video data to make exploration programs and broadcast them publicly.After we find out the situation at the bottom of the lake, make sure that the treasure left over from World War II is at the bottom of the lake, and eliminate the danger, you can take a small submarine and go down to the bottom of the lake to take pictures."This result disappointed the reporter of National Geographic Channel.But he can only accept it and has no other choice."Well, Steven, I hope we have the opportunity to go down to the bottom of the lake and explore this treasure left over from World War II with you!"As Ye Tian made arrangements, the small underwater robot had been lifted onto the lake and placed on the deck of the engineering ship.Matisse and a few brave people are also busy exploring the company's employees.They are busy deploying personnel and various equipment to prepare for the upcoming deep dive exploration operations....In a blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.Except for Mustafa, an Ethiopian archaeologist, and a lawyer representing the Ethiopian government, the rest of the people on the engineering ship who were not the Fearless Exploration Company were all invited away.These people were transferred to a medium-sized cruise ship and stayed with the exploratory team who remained on the cruise ship.Of course, the broadcast team of the National Geographic Channel remains on the engineering ship.After such operations, the engineering ship was completely under Ye Tian's control and there were no hidden dangers.He did this, of course, out of security considerations.While completing the deployment of personnel, Ye Tian and the others are ready for deep dive exploration.Due to the limited volume of the custom-made iron cage, several spare oxygen cylinders and diving thrusters, as well as some underwater exploration equipment, so the first wave of deep diving can not be too many people.Apart from Ye Tian, only Peter and Charlie dived with him to explore the sunken ship at the bottom of the lake.As for the engineering ship on the lake, it was controlled by Matisse.Those who operate cranes and other equipment are all exploration team members under Ye Tian.On the deck of the engineering ship, Ye Tian and the others, wearing full-face diving suits, went straight to the stern.The crane on this medium-sized engineering ship is located at the stern.Since the iron cage is relatively large, it is safer to put it in the water from the stern.David and Mustafa also followed, and everyone looked forward to it.The reporters and photographers of the National Geographic Channel Broadcast Team will naturally not be absent. The camera lens always follows Ye Tian and the others.When he came to the stern, Ye Tian first checked the crane and the iron cage that he was going to carry a few people for deep diving.Especially the escape doors on all sides of the iron cage, he tried them one by one to see if they could open and close smoothly.Later, when going deep dive exploration, if the crane breaks down, they can escape from the iron cage as soon as possible.For example, the wire rope hanging from the iron cage is broken!Once this happens, if they cannot escape from the iron cage as soon as possible, they may be taken by the iron cage and sink into the depths of the lake quickly!In that case, each of them would have their lungs burst instantly and die directly at the bottom of the lake.In addition to carrying them deep dives and helping them save energy, this iron cage is also a diving decompression stop.When they dive to a certain depth, they stay in the lake for a period of time to adapt to changes in water pressure.Once they have adapted to the water pressure and adjusted their state, they can continue to dive.With the depth of this lake of more than 80 meters, for safety reasons, they need to make two decompression stops in the middle before they can dive to the bottom of the lake.When returning from the bottom of the lake, they also have to make a decompression stop in the water before they can rise to the surface.To be safe, there is an auxiliary steel cable on this iron cage, which is connected to another small winch.Under such double insurance, if no one deliberately sabotages, there should be no problems.Except for cranes and iron cages, the rest are like steel cables and cables, as well as spare oxygen tanks and diving suits, underwater communication equipment, diving thrusters and various other exploration and deep diving equipment. Ye Tian looked through them one by one.He didn't find any problems, these equipments are in the best condition.Next, he turned his head to look at Matisse, who was standing aside."How is the situation under the engineering ship? Are the Nile crocodiles still there? If possible, I still don't want to fight with those guys in the lake. I have killed too many Nile crocodiles yesterday.""I'm afraid it's unavoidable, Steven. Those guys are still cruising near the engineering ship. Once you start diving, you will probably be spotted by those guys. It depends on whether they will attack."Matisse responded, briefly introducing the situation."I hope those guys are smarter and don't want to kill themselves. Maybe I can conquer these Nile crocodiles, just like the sharks I encountered in the depths of the sea before!"Ye Tian said with a smile."I think it's very possible. You guy can always get the affection of all kinds of animals and quickly become friends with them. These ferocious Nile crocodile must be no exception."David continued.After chatting for a few words, Ye Tian suddenly remembered something, and said with a serious expression:"There is one thing I want to remind everyone, don't enter the captain's room, the priceless sheepskin scroll is placed in the captain's room, guarded by the little white elf.Except me, anyone who enters the captain's room will be attacked by that little guy. It is not a joke, everyone must remember this point and never take risks! "Hearing this, everyone on the scene shuddered and frightened.Especially Mustafa, a look of horror flashed in his eyes, and he was very helpless."You damned bastard, this engineering ship is full of people under your command, isn't you doing this to guard against the few of us!"Then he exhorted a few more words, Ye Tian put on the diving mask, and then walked with Peter to the lowest stern deck.At this time, the iron cage used for deep diving has been hoisted into the lake, ready for deep diving.Coming to the stern deck, Ye Tian quickly scanned the situation in the lake, and then said to Peter and the others:"Guys, let's get started. Go to the bottom of Lake Tana to see if the shipwreck is the treasure ship we are looking for, and if the amazing treasures are hidden in the shipwreck.After entering the water, if the nearby Nile crocodiles swim over, they did not actively attack our previous ~www.novelhall.com~ and we don't have to fight back. If those guys actively attack, then kill them! "As he said, he raised the speargun in his hand.This deep dive exploration is different from the past. There is an iron cage to protect everyone from being attacked by Nile crocodile and other lake creatures.In view of this, the speargun is undoubtedly the most suitable self-defense weapon.In addition to spearguns, Ye Tian also brought other self-defense weapons, such as underwater pistols and sabers."Understood, Steven"Peter and Charlie replied in unison, and then walked into the iron cage half submerged in the water.Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian also walked in.After closing the door from the cage, he immediately said:"Release the sling, guys!"In the next moment, the iron cage slowly sank into the lake._
