Chapter 896 Is there really a treasure here?
The storm was raging for two days before it passed, but after the center of the storm, the water flow under the seabed was no longer so terrifying. Lin Dong directly released the robotic hand of the fixed Kuanglong and began to sneak towards the target area.
Because you can't get up to the sea, underwater, Ji Yao, in addition to photographing all kinds of underwater creatures he saw, also captured wild game with Lin Dong at other times. After all, these things, especially one or two hundred meters underwater, and are on the seabed, are so strange!
More importantly, with the arrival of this storm, many things that had never seen before were now swept out by the storm, which gave Lin Dong and Ji Yao a big eye. Of course, in Ji Yao's eyes, they should have opened their eyes. Basically, Lin Dong knows the scientific name, living habits, whether there is poison or not. This made her really sure that Lin Dong had done his homework before coming!
"You mean, there is a treasure here?" Ji Yao looked at the seabed covered with reefs and looked at Lin Dong in confusion, mostly not believing it.
Although Lin Dong was quite professional in his previous performance, at least in distinguishing creatures on the seabed and handling emergencies, she really didn't guess when looking at these reefs saying there are treasures here.
"Can't you see it?" Lin Dong said with a smile: "If you could see it at a glance, these wrecks would not have been left until now, and they would have been salvaged long ago!"
Lin Dong was right. This route was opened after the discovery of the world's maritime navigation. Many captains transported gold and silver from the Americas to Java through this route, and then transferred to the Indian Ocean to Europe. The number of shipwrecks here is not much smaller than that in the South China Sea.
Because of this, this route is also the target of the international crazily salvaged shipwrecks, and many of the shipwrecks were salvaged.
"Then..." Ji Yao saw Lin Dong so confident that she knew that there must be a shipwreck nearby. She pursed her lips, turned her head, and looked carefully at the "reefs" outside through the porthole, feeling that she told her that the secret of the treasure should be in these reefs.
However, all the reefs looked natural, and there was no movement on the seabed for hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. Without exception, corals were crawled on it, and various underwater creatures swam in and out of the cracks of the reef. She even saw a moray eel quickly hunting an octopus and then retracting into a small hole next to the reef.
Ji Yao shook her head and said she didn't see it.
Lin Dong smiled and pointed to a plain reef not far away and said, "Did you notice that reef, the shape is a bit too regular?"
Following the direction of Lin Dong's finger, Ji Yao looked over and found that the reef was a triangle in a cross-section, like an ancient foreign triangular ship-shaped hat. The two ends of the reef looked similar in proportion, and they were both arc-shaped downwards and pierced into the seabed. Ji Yao had just looked at this "reef" that looked more than 30 meters long, but it was covered with corals. Without seeing other features, she ignored it.
Now after Lin Dong reminded me, I looked carefully and found that the "reef" was indeed a bit special. First of all, the shapes on both sides were almost exactly the same and too symmetrical. Although nature has given many strange attributes, this is the first time Ji Yao has seen such regular undersea reefs these days.
"That's..." With Lin Dong's reminder, Ji Yao immediately began to imagine. Lin Dong said she wanted to bring her to treasure hunt, and she did her homework. Now after comparison, she immediately came up with her own guess: "That should be the hull that was turned down? But where is the structure of the upper part of the mast?"
Lin Dong gave a thumbs up: "Yes, I guessed right. Let's guess again. If the ship encountered a storm that was the same as we did the previous two days, the part on the deck of the ship should have been broken or swept away by the storm, and then the waves sent the ship to the bottom of the sea, and the water flow overturned the ship... It should be that way!"
"This is just your assumption. Who knows it is true or false? Maybe it's a reef?" Although Ji Yao had already believed it in her heart, she still opposed Lin Dong's guess, "You are not a prophet, who knows whether you are sure or not?"
Lin Dong smiled and said, "You'll know just look!" As he said that, he manipulated the Qianlong toward the direction of the reef.
The giants like Qianlong drove into the reefs, causing panic among all seabed creatures. They retreated into the cave, ran out of their hiding places, fled in all directions, and even had natural enemies running together, and they no longer had the desire to attack each other.
When he arrived in front of the "reef", Lin Dong stopped Qianlong and slowly stopped at a relatively flat position under the sea. After breaking down and fixing, he stretched out a robotic arm, and Lin Dong manipulated the "reef" and looked over.
Ji Yao was recording a video. When she saw Lin Dong's actions, she hurriedly shouted: "Stop destroying..."
Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "The structure inside has been destroyed long ago. The outside is just a layer of shell. If you want to see what is inside, it is impossible not to destroy it. The depth of the sea water and this place, it is impossible to get this thing back to the country intact."
Ji Yao had no choice but to shake her head regretfully and continue shooting.
In fact, it can be transported back intact, but is that necessary?
Lin Dong felt that there was no.
Despite this, when operating the robotic arm, Lin Dong carefully removed the coral attached to it, and then slowly peeled off a corner, revealing the substance below, which had been destroyed long ago. The layer outside was minerals and lime matter deposited in the sea water. Now if you peel off this thing, the things inside were broken, revealing holes of all sizes, which should be the bottom cabin.
"It's indeed a shipwreck!" Ji Yao said excitedly. At this time, she no longer had the caution she had just now, but excitedly pointed to the holes and asked Lin Dong: "What will happen here?"
After saying that, Ji Yao's face changed. She suddenly thought, would there be the dead sailor's corpse or something?
Seeing Ji Yao's expression, Lin Dong knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "I think there should be nothing but goods. When the storm came, the sailors should be on the deck unless they felt very safe, and the things on them were broken. How could they still be there?"
I added a sentence in my heart: Indeed, there is nothing except the box containing gold and silver... (To be continued.)
