Chapter 3207 Roman Shipwreck
In a blink of an eye, the small submarine made a circle above this undersea hill.
The general outline of the undersea hill was quickly identified by the underwater ultrasonic radar carried by the submarine's belly.
Just like Ye Tian's judgment, what was hidden under those colorful coral stones was an ancient sailboat.
After finding out the outline of the sailboat, Ye Tian and Professor Paul carefully studied the shape of the sailboat before coming to a conclusion.
"Judging by the shape of the sailboat, its length, the bow and stern, and especially where the masts are located, this should be a Venetian galley.
If this judgment is correct, then it can be inferred that the people who used this galley were probably Romans or Crusaders.
When the Romans ruled the land, the Venetian galleys already existed and were the workhorses of the Roman fleet, and it is not surprising that they sank here.
Until the Middle Ages, Venetian galleys were still used to fight at sea during the Crusades, and it was possible that the Crusaders sent fleets here.
The Moors who fought against them also used galleys, but unlike the Venetian galleys, their sailboats were more Arabian in color.
I just don't know if this Venetian galley belongs to the Romans or the Crusaders? Is it a warship or a merchant ship? "
Ye Tian briefly introduced his judgment.
Hearing this, Professor Paul immediately nodded in agreement:
"Yes, I also think this is a Venetian galleon. From this point of view, the time it sank on this seabed may be much longer than eight hundred years, probably more than a thousand years!"
Before the words fell, Ye Haiya and the others exclaimed.
"Wow! It's amazing that a sailboat that has been sunk for more than a thousand years can still maintain its approximate shape!"
"I don't know what's in this ship. Will it be full of gold and silver treasures? Just like those legendary Spanish treasure ships!"
Everyone let their imaginations run wild, guessing to their heart's content, and were very excited.
After letting everyone guess for a while, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Usually, the wooden sailboats last longer in seawater, just like coal is formed, carbonized in an oxygen-free environment.
Hundreds and thousands of years have passed, and this Venetian galley has merged with this seabed, has become a part of this seabed, and has become an underwater hill.
As for whether there are gold and silver treasures in this Venetian galley, it is unknown, which requires further exploration, and I hope there will be surprising discoveries.”
"Let's get started, Steven, everyone wants to know what is in this Venetian galley, and is there a lot of gold and silver treasures?"
Ye Haiya continued, looking like she couldn't wait.
The rest of the people were the same, full of expectations.
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then nodded and said:
"Since everyone is so eager, let's start, hoping to get a surprise"
Then, he instructed Miller to release an underwater metal detector to scan the Venetian galley that had been sleeping on the seabed for thousands of years.
Miller acted immediately and released the underwater metal detector hanging from the belly of the submarine to explore the undersea hill.
In the blink of an eye, the underwater metal detector has come to the top of the hill and started scanning.
The next moment, there was a pleasant chirping sound in the cockpit of the small submarine, which sounded like the sound of nature.
The moment they heard this voice, everyone was excited and cheered directly.
"It's great, there really are metal objects in this Venetian galley. I wonder if they are gold and silver treasures?",
"I'm so lucky today. I just discovered a Carthaginian treasure on land. It seems that I'm going to find another submarine treasure here."
Just as everyone cheered, Ye Tian was checking the feedback signal from the underwater metal detector and quickly analyzing it.
After a while, he said:
"It's too early for everyone to be happy, these metal objects are not gold and silver treasures, but some metal objects inherent in the ship, such as metal fasteners and so on.
There are not many of them, and they are relatively scattered. Although these things can be called antiques, they have little salvage value for us.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Without exception, a look of disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes.
After a brief disappointment, the exploration continued.
The small submarine switched positions again, continuing to scan with the underwater metal detector.
The result was the same as before. Although metal objects were found, they were not gold and silver treasures, but metal objects on the ship.
In the process, Ye Tian also thoroughly looked through this ancient Venetian galley.
He knew instantly what was going on inside this ancient sunken ship and whether there was any treasure.
Of course, he didn't say it, and he didn't stop exploring.
In order to make everything seem reasonable, some performance is still necessary.
Because of his perspective exploration, the two turtles hiding in the cabin keenly felt the presence of aura.
They swam out of the cabin following the aura and swam straight to the small submarine.
Seeing these two guys appear, Ye Tian immediately retracted his gaze and ended the perspective, so as not to reveal any flaws.
In the blink of an eye, the two sea turtles had already swam outside the submarine, and then looked at Ye Tian and the others who were sitting in the submarine curiously through the high-strength tempered glass cover.
The slightly smaller turtle even hit the tempered glass cover lightly with its head.
When it found that the glass cover was very strong and could not be shaken at all, it chose to give up.
This move made everyone laugh.
Next, everyone will explore while admiring the two turtles.
After a while, the surface of this undersea hill has been explored, and there are no surprising discoveries.
Of course, the discovery of this ancient Venetian galley was a small surprise in itself.
If the Moroccan government is interested in this, relevant underwater archaeological research can still be carried out, and this wreck also has certain archaeological research value.
However, even if the Moroccan government has this interest, it may not have the capability of underwater archaeology.
For the three-party joint exploration team, if this is not a treasure and has nothing to do with the legendary Atlantis, then there is no value in any research and exploration, and it is not worth wasting time.
The small submarine returned to its starting position, suspended in the water above the midsection of the wreck.
Ye Tian looked at the undersea hill under his feet, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Let go of the small underwater robot and go to the position where the two turtles came out. Maybe you can find a way to enter the cabin, drive the submarine to the deck, and see the situation on the main deck."
"Understood, Steven"
Miller nodded and responded immediately.
Then, the submarine drove towards the main deck.
When it came to the outside of the main deck, which was tilted on the seabed, at a distance of about five or six meters from the main deck, the small submarine stopped, then dived for about three meters, and then suspended in the sea water. Guli
Immediately afterwards, a small underwater robot hanging on the belly of the submarine was released, and under the control of another company employee, slid straight to the wreck.
At the same time, Ye Tian and the others, who were sitting in the cockpit of the submarine, were also observing the situation on the main deck of the sunken ship.
Hundreds and thousands of years have passed, and everything on the main deck of the sunken ship has been covered with various colors of coral, and it is impossible to see the real situation.
But if you look at it from a distance, you can see the general outline of the deck of the sunken ship.
Through the general outline of the main deck, both Ye Tian and Professor Paul strengthened their judgment.
This is an old Venetian galley, and probably a Roman warship.
The reason why it is said to be a Roman battleship is because they saw a small trebuchet-like weapon on the main deck of the sailing ship.
The small catapult was also covered with a large piece of coral, so it was impossible to see its true face, only a little outline could be seen.
But for Ye Tian and Professor Paul, this discovery is enough for them to make a basic judgment.
On the other side, the small underwater robot has been swimming upstream on the main deck, looking for a way to enter the interior of the cabin.
As a group of fish suddenly swam out of the cabin, the underwater robot immediately drove to the location where the fish appeared.
as expected!
Sure enough, there was a one-meter-square hole leading to the interior of the cabin!
After discovering the hole, the orange-red underwater robot immediately passed through the hole, entered the cabin, and began to explore.
At the same time, the situation inside the cabin also appeared on the surveillance screen.
Since sunlight cannot penetrate, there is much less coral and algae inside the cabin than outside the cabin.
The interior of the cabin is dark, but fortunately, the small underwater robot carries a searchlight, which does not hinder the development of the exploration action!
The first thing that appeared on the surveillance screen was a vertical oar.
Although there is a layer of coral growing on this oar, the shape is not difficult to distinguish and can be seen at a glance.
At the end of the paddle, the small underwater robot found an object shaped like an iron chain, which should have been used to lock the paddle slaves.
On the Venetian galleys of the Roman fleet, all the people in charge of rowing were slaves, and the Moors were the best rowing slaves!
Those slaves were chained to their seats and could not move at will, they were only responsible for paddling!
Once they encounter a long-distance voyage, they can't even move their positions for a month or two, which is no different from livestock, which is very cruel.
On the galleys, the Roman soldiers were free to move.
The small underwater robot bypassed the paddle and continued to drive in.
What then appeared in front of everyone was a cylindrical object, which was also covered with a layer of coral, and it was not clear what it really looked like.
This looks to be a wooden barrel, as for what is in the barrel, it is not known for the time being.
But one thing is certain, it must not be a metal object, because the metal detector carried by the small underwater robot did not sound.
Next, the small underwater robot found several metal objects.
But judging from the appearance of those metal objects, they are basically ancient weapons, such as shields and spears, etc. They are not the gold and silver treasures that everyone expects to see.
In addition to this, small underwater robots have discovered something else.
These things are also not gold and silver treasures, but they can be regarded as antique cultural relics and have certain historical and cultural research value.
The area of the cabin is not large, and within a short time, the small underwater robot has completed its exploration.
At the bottom of the cabin, although there is a passage to the lower cabin, Ye Tian did not let the small underwater robot enter the lower cabin for safety reasons.
Then, he said to his employees:
"Take back the small underwater robot. There is no need to continue exploring. This should be a warship of the Roman Empire, not the treasure ship we expected. There is obviously no treasure in it!"
"Ok, Steven"
The employee who controls the underwater robot nodded in response.
Immediately afterwards, he carefully retracted the small underwater robot.
This result disappointed everyone.
When the underwater robot came out of the cabin, Ye Haiya said unwillingly:
"Steven, we've only explored a small area of this ancient wreck, is it too early to conclude that this is not a wreck treasure?"
Ye Tian looked at the old friend, smiled and shook his head and said:
"Don't forget we're here to find something, Yahya, we're here to explore the legendary Atlantis, not other underwater treasures.
In the process of exploring Atlantis, if you find some shipwreck treasures, it will be the best, it is an unexpected surprise, and it doesn't matter if you don't find it.
It's enough to be sure that this is a Roman warship. Since this wreck has nothing to do with Atlantis, we don't have to waste time and energy exploring.
More importantly, so far, we have not found any gold and silver treasures on this Venetian galley, and the metal objects found are ancient weapons.
It is these discoveries that make me say that this is not a shipwreck treasure, there is no need to continue to explore, there are still many places to explore next, we must save time"
Hearing this, Ye Haiya's old face couldn't help blushing.
He also realized that he was a little eager for success, or it was more appropriate to be eager to get rich.
I just discovered a wreck under the sea, and I thought it was an amazing wreck treasure, so I could make a lot of money, how could it be that easy.
Before he could respond, Ye Tian continued:
"From the perspective of historical and cultural research value, this Roman warship can also be regarded as a treasure of a sunken ship. Those things in the sunken ship are all antique cultural relics and have certain research value.
And there may be gold and silver treasures hidden inside this sunken ship, but we have not found it. When the three-party joint exploration team leaves, your Moroccan government can organize a team to explore! "
With these words, Ye Haiya's face suddenly became a little better.
He looked at the Roman shipwreck that was close at hand, then nodded and said:
"You are right, Steven, the main task of the three-way joint exploration team is to find Atlantis, there is really no need to waste too much time and energy in these irrelevant places.
The area of this sea area is not small. It will definitely take a lot of time to fully explore it. Let's continue to explore other places. As for this Roman shipwreck, we will talk about it later! "
While saying these words, Yahya had made up her mind.
When the three-party joint exploration operation is over, be sure to organize an exploration team to explore this Roman shipwreck, and maybe there will be a surprising and major discovery!
Even if there is no gold and silver treasure in this wreck, the Roman wreck alone is worth exploring and studying!
The antique artifacts from Rome in the cabin are believed to be able to hedge the cost of exploration!
"Okay, let's go to other places and continue to explore and see what we can find"
Ye Tian nodded and said, and then nodded to Miller.
At this point, the small underwater robot had been retracted and was re-hung on the belly of the submarine.
Immediately afterwards, the small submarine sailed forward and continued to explore the seabed.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Maybe you can find a way to enter the cabin, drive the submarine to the deck, and see the situation on the main deck.""Understood, Steven"Miller nodded and responded immediately.Then, the submarine drove towards the main deck.When it came to the outside of the main deck, which was tilted on the seabed, at a distance of about five or six meters from the main deck, the small submarine stopped, then dived for about three meters, and then suspended in the sea water. GuliImmediately afterwards, a small underwater robot hanging on the belly of the submarine was released, and under the control of another company employee, slid straight to the wreck.At the same time, Ye Tian and the others, who were sitting in the cockpit of the submarine, were also observing the situation on the main deck of the sunken ship.Hundreds and thousands of years have passed, and everything on the main deck of the sunken ship has been covered with various colors of coral, and it is impossible to see the real situation.But if you look at it from a distance, you can see the general outline of the deck of the sunken ship.Through the general outline of the main deck, both Ye Tian and Professor Paul strengthened their judgment.This is an old Venetian galley, and probably a Roman warship.The reason why it is said to be a Roman battleship is because they saw a small trebuchet-like weapon on the main deck of the sailing ship.The small catapult was also covered with a large piece of coral, so it was impossible to see its true face, only a little outline could be seen.But for Ye Tian and Professor Paul, this discovery is enough for them to make a basic judgment.On the other side, the small underwater robot has been swimming upstream on the main deck, looking for a way to enter the interior of the cabin.As a group of fish suddenly swam out of the cabin, the underwater robot immediately drove to the location where the fish appeared.as expected!Sure enough, there was a one-meter-square hole leading to the interior of the cabin!After discovering the hole, the orange-red underwater robot immediately passed through the hole, entered the cabin, and began to explore.At the same time, the situation inside the cabin also appeared on the surveillance screen.Since sunlight cannot penetrate, there is much less coral and algae inside the cabin than outside the cabin.The interior of the cabin is dark, but fortunately, the small underwater robot carries a searchlight, which does not hinder the development of the exploration action!The first thing that appeared on the surveillance screen was a vertical oar.Although there is a layer of coral growing on this oar, the shape is not difficult to distinguish and can be seen at a glance.At the end of the paddle, the small underwater robot found an object shaped like an iron chain, which should have been used to lock the paddle slaves.On the Venetian galleys of the Roman fleet, all the people in charge of rowing were slaves, and the Moors were the best rowing slaves!Those slaves were chained to their seats and could not move at will, they were only responsible for paddling!Once they encounter a long-distance voyage, they can't even move their positions for a month or two, which is no different from livestock, which is very cruel.On the galleys, the Roman soldiers were free to move.The small underwater robot bypassed the paddle and continued to drive in.What then appeared in front of everyone was a cylindrical object, which was also covered with a layer of coral, and it was not clear what it really looked like.This looks to be a wooden barrel, as for what is in the barrel, it is not known for the time being.But one thing is certain, it must not be a metal object, because the metal detector carried by the small underwater robot did not sound.Next, the small underwater robot found several metal objects.But judging from the appearance of those metal objects, they are basically ancient weapons, such as shields and spears, etc. They are not the gold and silver treasures that everyone expects to see.In addition to this, small underwater robots have discovered something else.These things are also not gold and silver treasures, but they can be regarded as antique cultural relics and have certain historical and cultural research value.The area of the cabin is not large, and within a short time, the small underwater robot has completed its exploration.At the bottom of the cabin, although there is a passage to the lower cabin, Ye Tian did not let the small underwater robot enter the lower cabin for safety reasons.Then, he said to his employees:"Take back the small underwater robot. There is no need to continue exploring. This should be a warship of the Roman Empire, not the treasure ship we expected. There is obviously no treasure in it!""Ok, Steven"The employee who controls the underwater robot nodded in response.Immediately afterwards, he carefully retracted the small underwater robot.This result disappointed everyone.When the underwater robot came out of the cabin, Ye Haiya said unwillingly:"Steven, we've only explored a small area of this ancient wreck, is it too early to conclude that this is not a wreck treasure?"Ye Tian looked at the old friend, smiled and shook his head and said:"Don't forget we're here to find something, Yahya, we're here to explore the legendary Atlantis, not other underwater treasures.In the process of exploring Atlantis, if you find some shipwreck treasures, it will be the best, it is an unexpected surprise, and it doesn't matter if you don't find it.It's enough to be sure that this is a Roman warship. Since this wreck has nothing to do with Atlantis, we don't have to waste time and energy exploring.More importantly, so far, we have not found any gold and silver treasures on this Venetian galley, and the metal objects found are ancient weapons.It is these discoveries that make me say that this is not a shipwreck treasure, there is no need to continue to explore, there are still many places to explore next, we must save time"Hearing this, Ye Haiya's old face couldn't help blushing.He also realized that he was a little eager for success, or it was more appropriate to be eager to get rich.I just discovered a wreck under the sea, and I thought it was an amazing wreck treasure, so I could make a lot of money, how could it be that easy.Before he could respond, Ye Tian continued:"From the perspective of historical and cultural research value, this Roman warship can also be regarded as a treasure of a sunken ship. Those things in the sunken ship are all antique cultural relics and have certain research value.And there may be gold and silver treasures hidden inside this sunken ship, but we have not found it. When the three-party joint exploration team leaves, your Moroccan government can organize a team to explore! "With these words, Ye Haiya's face suddenly became a little better.He looked at the Roman shipwreck that was close at hand, then nodded and said:"You are right, Steven, the main task of the three-way joint exploration team is to find Atlantis, there is really no need to waste too much time and energy in these irrelevant places.The area of this sea area is not small. It will definitely take a lot of time to fully explore it. Let's continue to explore other places. As for this Roman shipwreck, we will talk about it later! "While saying these words, Yahya had made up her mind.When the three-party joint exploration operation is over, be sure to organize an exploration team to explore this Roman shipwreck, and maybe there will be a surprising and major discovery!Even if there is no gold and silver treasure in this wreck, the Roman wreck alone is worth exploring and studying!The antique artifacts from Rome in the cabin are believed to be able to hedge the cost of exploration!"Okay, let's go to other places and continue to explore and see what we can find"Ye Tian nodded and said, and then nodded to Miller.At this point, the small underwater robot had been retracted and was re-hung on the belly of the submarine.Immediately afterwards, the small submarine sailed forward and continued to explore the seabed.
