Chapter 3056 Reappearance of Solomon Dynasty Treasure
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had already swam to the deck of the sunken ship.
He observed the situation first, then hung the diving propeller on the railing of the ship's side, and turned on the strong diving flashlights above his head and on his chest.
Then, he swung his legs lightly and approached the deck a little bit.
On the deck of this sunken ship, there is no cargo, and naturally there are no obstacles.
After getting close to the deck, Ye Tian didn't immediately clean it up.
Like a big black fish, he quickly swam across the deck at a height of less than half a meter from the deck, and checked the overall situation of the main deck of the sunken ship.
Compared with the bottom of the ship, the main deck of this sunken ship is quite well preserved, with almost no damage.
There was nothing else on the deck except a layer of algae.
Soon, Ye Tian came to the cabin door.
Like other places, the iron door of the cabin is also very complete, with no signs of damage.
Even the glass above the cabin is somewhat well preserved.
Obviously, the explosion that occurred at the bottom of the ship was likely to be a directional blast towards the outside of the ship, which did not cause much damage to the upper part of the ship.
Ye Tian checked the situation around the cabin, then stretched out his hand to hold the handle on the cabin door, and gently pulled it out.
As a result, the hatch did not move at all, and there was no response.
He added a little more strength and continued to try to pull the hatch outward.
The result was the same, the hatch still couldn't be opened.
Apparently, the cabin door was rusted and hard to open.
Unless the underwater cutting is carried out, the entire hatch is cut off, and it is possible to enter the cabin from the hatch.
Ye Tian didn't forcefully pull the hatch, but chose to let it go.
Next, he checked other places.
After confirming that there was no danger, he said through the intercom:
"Peter, Charlie, you can come down, there is no danger here"
"OK,
steven"
Peter and the others responded, and then swam down to the deck.
After swimming to the deck, they first tied the diving propeller to the railing on the ship's side, then swung their wide flippers and swam towards Ye Tian.
When they swam closer, Ye Tian pointed to the cabin window and said to them:
"Guys, the door of the cabin is rusted. Let's enter the cabin through the window to see what's going on inside. Just follow me."
"Got it, Steven"
Peter nodded slightly, and so did Charlie.
Then, under the leadership of Ye Tian, the three of them lined up and swam straight to the biggest window in the cabin.
Swimming closer, Ye Tian observed the situation, and then gestured backwards to ask Peter and the others to stop first.
Seeing his gesture, Peter and Charlie stopped immediately.
The glass of this window has been broken, but some remains on the window frame, which is very sharp and dangerous.
Ye Tian looked at the situation of the window, then raised the spear gun in his hand, and directly stabbed at the remaining glass on the window.
Following his movement, the remaining glass shattered and fell to the deck.
Next, Ye Tian used the body of the speargun to sweep the edge of the window frame several times, as if all the glass shards were swept away.
After eliminating the hidden dangers, he swam forward, passed through the window, and entered the cabin first.
Immediately afterwards, Peter and Charlie also swam into the cabin.
This cabin is the cockpit, and it is very messy, with many things crumbling and rusty.
Ye Tian and the others searched the place carefully, but they didn't find any boxes that might contain gold and silver treasures, nor did they find the wreckage of the dead crew members.
He then swam to the hatch leading to the next cabin.
Unlike the original hatch, the hatch in the cockpit is open.
Ye Tian and the others easily passed through this hatch and entered the next cabin.
In the next cabin, they still didn't find it.
Afterwards, Ye Tian entered the captain's room alone, which was also empty.
Even some of the utensils that the captain uses daily are not here.
From this, it can be seen that the Italians cleaned up the ship before scuttling the treasure ship.
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed.
Ye Tian and the others have searched the cabin above the main deck, but found nothing.
This result undoubtedly disappointed everyone.
But Ye Tian and the others at the bottom of the lake were very calm.
The three of them were still exploring, and successfully entered the first cabin below the deck.
As soon as they entered here, a rusty cabin door appeared in front of them, blocking the way.
Ye Tian stepped forward to check the situation of the hatch, and then looked around, before saying:
"Let's see if we can open the hatch. If not, we can only cut it. Fortunately, this is a Neihu ship. The walls in the cabin are made of wood, so it's not difficult to cut."
Hearing this, both Peter and Charlie nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian stepped forward to hold the handle of the hatch, and tried to pull it out.
As a result, the cabin door remained motionless, without any response.
He tried pushing in again, with the same result.
Ye Tian looked at the rusty handle again, pondered for a while, then pressed down hard, and pulled the hatch outward with all his strength.
At first, the metal handle remained motionless, rusted to death.
As Ye Tian continued to increase his strength, the handle finally became a little loose, and he pressed it down slowly.
Next, he also slowly opened the heavy hatch.
At the same time as the hatch opened, Peter, who was standing on the left side of the hatch, raised the bright flashlight in his hand and shone into the cabin.
The next moment, everyone will see.
This cabin is full of crates. Looking from the position of the hatch door, as long as the light covers the range, they are all crates with uniform specifications.
Since the posture of the sunken ship was very stable when it sank, there was no overturning or overturning, and the bottom of the lake was relatively flat, when the ship sank to the bottom of the lake, it basically landed in a normal posture.
Because of this, these crates in the cabin are not very messy and completely overturned.
Moreover, these crates were divided into several piles, covered with several huge rope nets, which also effectively protected these crates.
Of course, there are also a small number of collision damage.
Some of the things that were packed in those broken crates have been scattered all over the cabin!
When the light shone into the cabin, a bright golden light flashed in the cabin immediately.
Looking at this scene in the cabin, no matter Peter and Charlie standing at the cabin door, or David, Mustafa and others on the lake, everyone was shocked.
Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded.
Only Ye Tian had a bright smile on his face.
However, he was wearing a diving mask and no one could see his expression.
What people can see is only a deep-sea warrior who seems to come from the future and is very sci-fi.
While speaking, Ye Tian had completely opened the hatch.
More lights were put into this cabin, everyone saw more crates, and the golden light reflected in the cabin became brighter and more eye-catching!
Ye Tian looked at the situation in the cabin, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, this is the treasure ship we were looking for, and this is the astonishing treasure we were looking for. We succeeded, and everyone can celebrate."
Following his words, everyone was awakened.
The next moment, Peter and Charlie waved their arms vigorously in celebration.
And in the cabin of the engineering ship on the lake, on those medium-sized cruise ships, bursts of excited cheers sounded immediately, resounding throughout Lake Tana.
"Great! It's a miracle we finally found this treasure!"
"My God! During World War II, how much gold and silver treasure did the Italians loot in East Africa to fill this cabin? It's amazing!"
After a burst of cheers, Mustafa immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and asked impatiently:
"Steven, can you guess how many crates are in this cabin? How big is this treasure left over from World War II?"
Ye Tian didn't respond immediately, but looked at the situation in the cabin, then smiled and said:
"According to my visual inspection, there are at least 200 crates in this cabin. If each crate is filled with gold, silver treasures and antique relics, then this is definitely a very amazing treasure.
What is not known now is whether there are still such crates stored in other cabins of this lake-bottom shipwreck, and how many are there? If so, it would be great.”
Before the words fell, there was another exclamation in the cabin of the engineering ship on the lake.
Everyone was shocked by Ye Tian's words, and they were full of expectations.
Standing at the cabin door to observe for a while, Ye Tian said:
"Guys, let's go in and see what gold and silver treasures are hidden in this huge treasure?"
With that said, he swam into the cabin first.
Immediately afterwards, Peter and Charlie also followed.
After only swimming about three meters into the cabin, they had to stop.
A rope net and many crates ahead could not block their way.
Ye Tian stepped forward and gently tugged at the rope net to feel its firmness.
Although it has been more than 70 years and has been soaked in the lake water, this rope net has not completely decayed.
The crates covered in the rope net were relatively well preserved, and there were not many damages.
Ye Tian checked the scene and said:
"Guys, let's start the demolition, cut this rope net, pull a crate out of it, see what's in the box, and then we can float to the surface!"
"Okay, Steven, leave it to us"
Peter and Charlie responded in unison and swam over immediately.
Ye Tian retreated to the cabin door, watching Peter and the others make their move.
Next, Peter and the others took out the safety locks they carried with them, and used the rope net to fix their respective bodies so that they could borrow strength.
Immediately afterwards, Peter picked up the rope net, stepped on a crate with his foot, and signaled Charlie to do it.
Charlie then pulled out his dive knife and began cutting through the net.
Without the slightest suspense, the rope net was cut open in a blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, Charlie sheathed the dive knife and, together with Peter, pulled a crate out of the rope net.
They dragged the crate out of the rope net and set it on the plank of the boat.
Afterwards, Ye Tianyou came forward and gently wiped the surface of the crate.
The next moment, a Roman beam of clubs symbolizing Italian Faxie appeared, engraved on the crate.
Some of the words originally written in this crate have long since been soaked by the lake water and disappeared without a trace.
But this Roman bundle of sticks logo is enough to explain everything.
Seeing this scene, everyone is sure.
This treasure of shipwrecks during World War II was indeed hidden by the Italian army before the evacuation, and it was a huge wealth that the Italian army looted from various countries and countries in East Africa.
Unsurprisingly, the discovery of the Roman rod symbol once again aroused a burst of excited cheers in the engineering boats on the lake and in the few medium-sized pleasure boats.
Ye Tian checked the crate, then nodded and said:
"Guys, pry open this box and see what's inside"
"Okay, Steven"
As he spoke, Peter stepped on the crate with his foot to fix it.
Charlie took the demolition tool and started to demolish it.
This box has been immersed in the bottom of Lake Tana for more than 70 years, and it has also been eroded by lake water and microorganisms for more than 70 years. Even if it is well preserved, how strong is it?
With little effort, Charlie opened the crate.
As the crate opened, several lights shone into the crate.
The next moment, a dazzling golden light flashed across the scene, making everyone dizzy.
Ye Tian and the others involuntarily closed their eyes to adapt to the drastic change in light.
The guys watching the live broadcast on the lake were also dazzled by the golden light.
When everyone got used to the change of light and looked inside the crate, everyone was shocked.
"Oh my god! There's gold in the box? That's amazing!"
"Wow! There are so many gold objects in a single box. I can't even imagine how amazing this treasure must be!"
Excited exclamations sounded one after another, one after another.
In a blink of an eye, several boats on the lake were completely boiling.
Especially Mustafa, and the members of the Ethiopian exploration team, each of them behaved almost crazy.
Where have they seen such an amazing treasure, can they not be overjoyed?
Compared with them, the many exploration team members of the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company performed relatively better.
In the many previous exploration operations, everyone has seen too many shocking treasures, and they have long been accustomed to it.
Among them, the treasure of the Knights Templar, the treasure of the Mayan Golden City, etc., are more amazing and valuable than the treasure at the bottom of Lake Tana.
Just when everyone was exclaiming, Charlie had opened the crate.
The numerous gold artifacts housed in this crate are immediately revealed.
Most of these gold products are wine vessels, such as jugs and wine glasses, each of which is made of pure gold and is dazzling.
Moreover, these gold products all have a strong African cultural color, with exquisite patterns and various patterns engraved on them.
In particular, some of the figures engraved on these utensils were created by black people as copies, and their characteristics are very distinctive.
Seeing this scene, everyone was amazed.
At this moment, Ye Tianyou came over, reached out to pick up a golden wine jug from the box, and started admiring it.
In just a moment, he had already discovered something.
At the bottom of this golden wine jug, there is a beautiful golden lion carved, and there is a line of Amharic.
The golden lion statue is one of the symbols of the Solomon Dynasty in Ethiopia.
The meaning of that line of Amharic is unknown, perhaps it is the year name of an emperor of the Solomon Dynasty.
Ye Tian pretended to be surprised when he saw the golden lion badge.
But he soon came to his senses, and then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, my previous speculation was correct. The treasures accumulated by the Solomon Dynasty for hundreds of years but mysteriously disappeared during World War II did fall into the hands of the Italians.
However, the Italian army failed to take away this shocking treasure, but hid them in the depths of Lake Tana before their defeat, until today we discovered them!
Everyone, please look at this golden lion badge, which is one of the symbols of the Solomon Dynasty, and it is often chiseled on some of the more expensive items, which is the best proof."
As he spoke, he pointed the bottom foot of the golden jug at the high-definition underwater camera and showed it to those guys on the lake.
Following his action, the boats on the lake suddenly boiled again.
Many Ethiopians headed by Mustafa danced with excitement.
