Chapter 3204 Sea Exploration
In a moment, the medium-sized helicopter had reached the top of the mountain and landed firmly on the top of the mountain.
Afterwards, Ye Tian asked Jason and the others to transport those Carthage funds and antiques into the helicopter cabin, and escorted them to the deep-sea salvage ship Dreadnought on the distant sea.
Soon, the h155 medium helicopter took off again and flew straight towards the Dreadnought, which was moored at sea.
Looking at this scene on the top of the mountain, the Moroccan police and security personnel and many fishermen who stayed at the bottom of the mountain immediately understood.
The three-party joint exploration team must have found something on the top of the mountain, otherwise the helicopter would not have been dispatched from the sea. They were obviously transporting something.
After confirming this, the people at the foot of the mountain immediately fry.
"Steven and those guys must have found some treasure. I don't know if it is the legendary Atlantis, or maybe other treasures or secrets?"
"Our ancestors have lived here for generations, but we haven't found anything. These guys have only been here for a few hours, and they have found the treasure. How is this possible?"
"This is our village, the treasure buried here naturally belongs to us, at least we should have a share, we can't just be swept away by others!"
At the same time as the discussion, the emotions of those fishermen were also a little restless, but more unwilling.
Seeing this, an official from the Moroccan Ministry of Culture who stayed at the foot of the mountain immediately alerted the police and security personnel to prevent accidents.
At the same time, he also came forward to explain that if the three-party joint exploration team really found something here, the Moroccan government will definitely compensate these fishermen and not let them find nothing after the clean-up work is completed.
After listening to his explanation, and looking at the police and security personnel with live ammunition, those fishermen had no choice but to accept the reality and continue to stay at the foot of the mountain.
However, they always pay attention to the movement on the top of the mountain.
In a short while, the h155 helicopter had flown back to the Intrepid and landed on the helipad.
A moment later, Jason's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Steven, we have arrived at the deep-sea salvage ship Intrepid, and have transferred those Carthage funds and antique artifacts to the safe in the cabin. Those things are now very safe."
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Good job, you don't have to come here for the time being, just stay on the Brave Dreadnought and inform the captain to carefully check the exploration equipment such as small submarines and underwater robots.
After the exploration work on the shore is completed, I will lead Yahya and the others to the Intrepid, and in the afternoon, I will drive a small submarine to explore the seabed to see the situation on the seabed.”
"Understood, Steven"
Jason responded and ended the call.
Next, Ye Tian came to the edge of the underground chamber where the treasures of Carthage were discovered, and told Professor Paul and others who were studying the Phoenician characters and symbols inside.
I will take people off the top of the mountain and explore the fishing village below to see if I can find anything.
However, several expedition team members and security personnel will be left on the top of the mountain to cooperate with Paul's teaching and provide them with various support.
Paul taught them to study those Phoenician characters and patterns fascinatedly. He didn't want to leave this underground secret room for a moment, and naturally he would not raise any objections.
Of course, they didn't all stay in this underground chamber for research.
Professor Kane, who did not understand the Phoenician script, came out of this underground secret room and prepared to follow the brigade.
Afterwards, everyone packed up their exploration equipment, walked down from the top of the mountain, and entered the fishing village on the west side of the hill.
When everyone arrived, Ye Tian began to assign tasks, and based on the previous grouping, he started exploring in this ancient fishing village.
In the following explorations, everyone did find something, but it had nothing to do with the legendary Atlantis.
And the value of these things is very general, there is no mining value, let alone treasures.
Of course, this is for the tripartite joint exploration team.
For those fishermen, it may be another matter.
Those discoveries above the ground, Ye Tian asked his expedition team members to record all of them, and prepared to hand them over to the fishermen, which was considered a little compensation for them.
As for the metal objects buried deep in the ground, he didn't plan to tell the fishermen, lest those guys dig indiscriminately and destroy their homes, but they won't get much benefit.
Although Ye Haiya and the others knew where these metal objects were buried, they also knew that these things were not of high value, and they should not have brought people here to dig it afterward!
The results of such exploration are undoubtedly disappointing.
However, everyone can only accept this result.
After exploring this ancient fishing village, Ye Tian and the others returned to the square by the sea, ready to take a rest, and then continue their exploration in the afternoon.
As soon as they returned here, the fishermen who had gathered here immediately began to ask loudly.
"Mr. Steven, what did you find on the top of the mountain? Is it an unknown treasure? Or a clue about Atlantis?"
"Where is the exact location of this treasure? Our ancestors have lived here for generations, why haven't we discovered it? Did you discover the treasure as soon as you arrived?"
"One more thing, did you transport all the things found in this treasure to the ship in the distance? What exactly is in this treasure?"
Numerous fishermen asked in a row, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, envy in their eyes, and even a bit of hostility.
Ye Tian looked at these Moroccan fishermen, then smiled and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we did find something at the top of this hill, but it was a treasure of the Carthaginian civilization, not the legendary Atlantis.
This treasure is hidden deep underground in a bush on the top of the mountain, very hidden, and it is not surprising that you have not discovered it before because you do not have the proper exploration equipment.
Regarding the specific situation of this treasure of Carthage civilization, Mr. Yahya or other Moroccan government officials will introduce to you, and I will not introduce more here.”
Saying that, he raised his hand and gestured towards Ye Haiya.
Yahya's face was a little embarrassed, as did the rest of the Moroccan officials.
They didn't want to tell these fishermen the truth, so as not to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, Ye Tian immediately explained the discovery of this Carthaginian treasure.
In this way, they can no longer hide, but can only tell these fishermen the truth, or tell part of the treasure.
Ye Haiya was about to come forward to explain the situation, but was grabbed ahead by those excited fishermen.
"Ah! There is indeed a treasure on the top of the mountain, and what kind of Carthage treasure? Although I have never heard of Carthage, the value of this treasure is definitely not low."
"Since we really found the treasure, can we also get a part of it? I just don't know how much we can get."
At the same time as the discussions, these fishermen were also excited and full of longing.
After a few words of discussion, they looked at Ye Haiya and waited for him to report the specific situation.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian chuckled twice, then took David and the others out of here and walked towards the platform by the sea.
How to appease these fishermen is a matter for the Moroccan government, and he does not intend to intervene.
After the few of them left, Ye Haiya thought for a moment, and then began to introduce the situation to the fishermen.
Following his introduction, the fishermen cheered with excitement.
But what they will get in the end remains to be seen.
Ye Tian and the others soon came to the platform by the sea and began to explore.
Unfortunately, they didn't find anything surprising.
The only discovery is that an ancient building did exist here, but it collapsed hundreds of thousands of years ago, leaving only a little foundation.
Due to the continuous scouring of sea water and the grinding of time, there is no text on the remaining foundation, and it is impossible to judge its distribution range and construction age.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour has passed.
After exploring the platform by the sea, Ye Tian and the others returned to the location of the convoy.
At this time, those Moroccan fishermen have been appeased by Yahya.
Their emotions gradually calmed down, but they still looked a little indignant, but more worried and helpless.
Several experts and scholars who stayed on the top of the mountain to study the Phoenician writings have come down from the top of the mountain.
They cleaned up the underground secret room thoroughly, and then took pictures of all the words and patterns carved on the walls and ground, as well as on the ceiling, ready to study slowly.
The main reason is that they don't want to miss the next underwater exploration.
After returning to the foot of the mountain to wash up, they began to introduce some of the things they had just discovered.
"Steven, by studying the Phoenician writing and patterns inscribed in that underground chamber, we can basically determine that there was once an ancient castle on the top of this hill.
The castle was built by the Phoenicians around 480 BC. The underground secret room is an annex to the castle and is located in the core area, but it is not known how long the castle has existed.
There are very few people who know the underground secret room. Only the guards know the existence of the underground secret room, and the rest of the soldiers don't know it. The main function of the underground secret room is to store property.
But for some unknown reason, these Carthage Fund coins and the two bronze statues were not taken away. Judging from the fact that the underground secret room was sealed, there should have been a major change at that time..."
Next, Professor Paul told them all about their findings.
Although they discovered the origin of the Carthaginian treasure on the top of the mountain and determined that there was an ancient castle here, they did not find any clues related to Atlantis.
However, they have only deciphered a small part of the Phoenician writings and patterns, and it is not known whether they will be found in the remaining words and patterns.
After listening to their introduction, Ye Tian couldn't help falling into contemplation.
After a while, he said suspiciously:
"Why did the Carthaginians build a castle here? I don't understand very well, you must know that the two main enemies of Carthage, ancient Rome and ancient Greece, were both on the east and north shores of the Mediterranean.
The west coast of the Mediterranean Sea and North Africa, including the Strait of Gibraltar, are all under the control of Carthage. They don't need to build a castle here at all. Is it possible to guard against enemies from the Atlantic Ocean? "
"what!"
Professor Paul and the others exclaimed in unison and froze in place.
After they woke up, they immediately started discussing Ye Tian's assumption, but everyone thought it was unlikely.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for lunch.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Tian and the others ended their discussion and prepared to start their lunch.
Since everyone is exploring treasures by the sea, naturally they can't miss the opportunity to barbecue by the sea.
Soon, a row of barbecue grills was erected by the sea.
Boxes of pre-marinated beef and seafood, as well as various other ingredients, were brought up one after another.
Moments later, bursts of seductive scents spread across the coast, accompanied by moving music and laughter.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was about one o'clock in the afternoon.
The barbecue grills that were placed on the beach before, as well as many folding tables, chairs, benches, and boxes containing various ingredients, have all been put away.
Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the aroma of barbecued meat that had permeated the air had all dissipated.
All you can smell is a slightly fishy sea breeze.
After eating and drinking and resting for a while, everyone is ready to start the next step of exploration.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and notified the Intrepid and the super yacht to send the speedboat over to pick everyone up.
As the order came out, the two medium-sized helicopters parked on the Intrepid and the super yacht immediately took off and flew towards the shore.
At the same time, the two large ships also released two speedboats each and rushed towards the shore.
The first to come here are two medium helicopters.
When the two medium-sized helicopters stopped by the coast, Ye Tian and the others immediately stepped forward with their backpacks and exploration equipment, and sat in the cabins of the two medium-sized helicopters.
Then, the two medium-sized helicopters roared and flew straight to the two large ships on the distant sea.
In the blink of an eye, the h155 helicopters Ye Tian and Ye Haiya were in had already flown over the Brave Dreadnought and landed steadily on the apron at the stern.
When they got out of the cabin, went down the gangway of the apron, and stood on the deck of the Intrepid, the h155 helicopter roared again and flew quickly towards the shore.
Look at the helicopter flying off the deck Look at the world's top deep-sea salvage ship, the super yacht not far away, another medium-sized helicopter hovering in the air, and speeding on the sea The four speedboats that came,
Both the Moroccans headed by Yahya and several experts and scholars from Columbia University were deeply moved.
"Steven, the strength of your company is really amazing, and your courage is also a bit scary. You are so willing to pay for a joint exploration operation with an uncertain future.
That is, your brave and fearless exploration company, any other treasure-hunting company, or even some middle-developed countries, can't afford such a huge exploration operation at all."
"Yes, your handwriting is a little too amazing, and it's eye-opening!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing proudly.
For you, and for everyone else, this is indeed a joint exploratory operation with an uncertain future, and the probability of failure is far greater than the probability of success.
But for me, it's something else entirely.
For me, there is no such thing as failure at all, that's why I dare to do this!
