Chapter 3057： Floating on the lake

After the golden jug, Ye Tian took out another golden plate from the opened crate.

Unsurprisingly, in this exquisite gold plate, there is also a golden lion engraved with a line of Amharic.

Seeing this scene, everyone is more certain.

The treasure hidden in the sunken ship at the bottom of the lake is the treasure that the Solomon dynasty of Ethiopia has accumulated for hundreds of years, but mysteriously disappeared during World War II.

The treasure of Solomon's dynasty may not be all of this shipwreck treasure, but at least it is a very important part.

Obviously, during World War II, the Italians not only occupied the entire Ethiopia, but also ransacked the Ethiopian royal family.

It is a pity that they did not have time to take away this amazing treasure, but hid them at the bottom of Lake Tana, and finally bought Ye Tian and the Brave Fearless Exploration Company for nothing.

Next, Ye Tian checked several gold products.

Without exception, these gold products are engraved with the symbol of the Solomon dynasty.

After checking, he put these gold products into this crate, and then said:

"Guys, nail up this crate again, and then we will float on the lake with this box of gold products. This exploratory operation has been completed, and it's time to salvage and clean up."

"Okay, Steven"

Peter and Charlie nodded in response, and acted immediately.

In a blink of an eye, they have nailed this crate.

Afterwards, they dragged the crate and swam to the upper main deck.

Ye Tian, ​​who finally left, closed the hatch again, and then swam up.

After a while, they returned to the main deck of the sunken ship with the crate full of gold products.

Fortunately, this crate is filled with gold products, which is not very heavy.

If there were all gold bars in it, they would never have gotten this crate onto the main deck so easily.

Next, Peter took off his diving thruster and swam to the iron cage.

He went over there and brought a few buoyancy bags and a rope net.

Then everyone worked together, put the crate into the rope net, tied the buoyancy bag on the rope net, and then began to inject air into the buoyancy bag.

After some manipulation, the crate gradually floated up, and everyone didn't have to work hard to carry it.

Afterwards, Ye Tian and Charlie also detached their submersible propellers, pulled the crate to leave the treasure ship, and swam towards the iron cage.

After a while, the three of them had entered the iron cage.

Immediately afterwards, they opened several large buoyancy bags tied to the top of the iron cage and began to inject compressed air into them.

As the large buoyancy bags gradually expanded, the heavy iron cage was slowly pulled away from the bottom of the lake.

The moment the iron cage left the bottom of the lake, Ye Tian and the others immediately stopped injecting air.

The next moment, this heavy iron cage was suspended in the lake water, less than ten centimeters from the bottom of the lake.

Ye Tian observed the situation, and then said through the walkie-talkie:

"Guys, you can turn on the crane and pull us up. Just like when we dived before, we will make two decompression stops during the ascent. I will tell you the specific depth at which the decompression stops will be taken."

"Understood, Steven"

The exploratory team manipulating the crane on the lake responded and started to act immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the iron cage was slowly pulled up and headed towards the lake.

As Ye Tian and the others left, the area at the bottom of the lake where the treasure ship was located was plunged into darkness again.

But before long, the bottom of the lake will become very lively.

The amazing treasure hidden in this shipwreck will be salvaged and divided by Ye Tian and the Ethiopian government.

Seven or eight minutes later, Ye Tian and the others had ascended about 30 meters to a depth of about 60 meters.

Ye Tian looked at the depth gauge, and then said through the intercom:

"Pause the ascent, do the first decompression stop here for ten minutes, and continue to ascend after ten minutes."

The order came out, and the iron cage immediately stopped floating.

For the next ten minutes, Ye Tian and the others stayed in the depths of the lake completely shrouded in darkness, waiting quietly.

Of course, they are not idle either.

Taking advantage of this time, they each replaced a new oxygen cylinder to ensure safety.

Although it was dark here, the iron cage they were in was like a lonely beacon hanging in the darkness, very conspicuous.

Many creatures living in this depth of the lake, after the initial panic, quickly adapted to the existence of this beacon.

Within a short while, all kinds of curious lake creatures surrounded the iron cage.

The creatures in these lakes are mainly crustaceans, such as shrimps and crabs.

And crabs and shrimps in Africa are generally larger.

This is because Africans don't like to eat these things, and they don't know how to cook. They prefer to eat fish.

Because the locals look down on them, these guys can grow freely and are relatively large.

In Ye Tian's eyes, these are all delicacies.

It is a pity that he is now the subject of being visited and has no chance to capture these guys.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the iron cage began to float again.

As the iron cage got closer and closer to the lake, the surroundings gradually became brighter, and there were more and more creatures in the lake.

The beautiful fishes that disappeared before swam back again, swimming quickly around the iron cage.

When Ye Tian and the others floated to a depth of only 30 meters from the lake surface, they were suspended in the lake again, and they did a second deep dive decompression stop. The time was still ten minutes.

During this process, Ye Tian and others have been constantly adjusting the air in the buoyancy bag to ensure the balance between buoyancy and water pressure and depth.

This is a very delicate work, and it is impossible to do it without a wealth of deep diving experience.

Mustafa and other Ethiopians who watched this scene through the video are very clear in their hearts.

If you want to salvage this amazing treasure hidden deep in the bottom of the lake, the Ethiopian government is absolutely inseparable from the Brave Exploration Company, and must borrow their sophisticated exploration equipment and top talents.

If you want to get rid of the brave and explore the company alone, it will only be self-defeating.

In fact, with Ethiopia’s background and capabilities, Ye Tian and the Brave Fearless Exploration Company cannot be separated at all.

After realizing this, Mustafa and the others immediately dispelled all thoughts that they shouldn't have.

When Ye Tian and the others were making a decompression stop, the Nile crocodiles who had left before also found them who had resurfaced, and immediately swam over here.

As before, these guys behaved very docile, not at all like the fierce overlord of the lake.

When these guys came closer, Ye Tian immediately interacted with them, just like old friends.

Looking at this scene, there was another exclamation sound from the boats on the lake.

"Oh my God! This guy Steven is amazing. How did he do it? It's incredible to be able to tame these ferocious and cold-blooded Nile crocodiles!"

"There is no doubt that this guy Steven is the overlord of Lake Tana. He is simply invincible in the lake. As long as he wants to, no one should want to enter this lake!"

When everyone was amazed, Ye Tian was playing with the gentle Nile crocodile, and the picture was very harmonious.

Ten minutes of the second decompression stop quickly passed, and the iron cage began to float again at a constant speed, approaching the lake surface little by little.

The Nile crocodile surrounding the iron cage also floated up with it.

And the closer they are to the lake, the more excited they are, because the surrounding water pressure is getting lower and lower, and they move more freely.

A few minutes later, two big orange-red buoyancy bags first surfaced and appeared on the lake.

Immediately afterwards, that heavy and abnormal iron cage also floated on the lake surface, and appeared in everyone's field of vision again.

Ye Tian and the others stood in the iron cage, waving at everyone.

As soon as they appeared, cheers and applause immediately sounded on the lake.

Mustafa and David had come out of the cabin, came to the deck, looked at Ye Tian and the others standing in the iron cage, and gave them warm applause.

Subsequently, the iron cage was pulled to the stern deck.

But Ye Tian and the others did not immediately leave the iron cage and board the engineering ship.

Ye Tianxian calmed the Nile crocodiles and let them leave here, but they played elsewhere.

Those frightening big guys seemed to understand what he meant, reluctantly left here and swam elsewhere.

After the Nile crocodile left, Ye Tian and the others opened the gate above the iron cage, got out of it, and boarded the engineering ship.

When they came up the stairs, they came to the main deck above.

Mustafa and David immediately surrounded them, all excited.

"Welcome back, Steven, what you did is so beautiful, it's just breathtaking!"

"Wow! Steven, this sunken treasure hidden deep in the bottom of the lake is really amazing. Its discovery will surely make the whole world a sensation!"

Ye Tian took off his diving mask, looked at these guys who were so excited that his eyes gleamed, then smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, we have fulfilled our mission and finally found this shocking treasure hidden by the Italians during World War II deep in the bottom of the lake. This is really a huge surprise.

Next, we can organize manpower to salvage this sunken treasure. Compared with exploring this treasure, salvaging and clearing this treasure, it will be much easier."

Everyone nodded at the scene, and everyone was full of expectations.

Next, Ye Tian and the others took off the oxygen cylinders behind them and took off their diving suits.

At the same time, the iron cage was hoisted from the lake by a crane and placed on the deck of the engineering ship.

The moment the iron cage fell on the deck of the engineering ship, everyone immediately surrounded it.

Without exception, everyone stared at the crate contained in the iron cage, with extremely hot eyes.

Ye Tian, ​​who had changed his clothes, also came to the iron cage.

He asked his security personnel to open the iron cage and take it out of the crate during World War II.

Afterwards, he personally pried open the crate and introduced:

"The gold products in this box come from the Solomon dynasty that once ruled Ethiopia. They are part of the royal treasures of the Solomon dynasty. Each piece is very exquisite and valuable!"

With that, the crate was opened.

With this action, a golden light flashed on the scene, extremely dazzling.

Everyone adjusted to the light changes a bit, and then looked at the gold products in the crates.

In the next moment, there was a sound of exclamation on the main deck, one after another.

"Wow! They are so exquisite, they are fascinating to watch!"

"This is simply a work of art, but it is different from the gold products of European and Asian countries. It has unique characteristics. Each of them is worth collecting!"

In this exclamation, Mustafa and the Ethiopian archaeologist, who were so excited, were ready to step forward and touch these valuable gold products.

However, they were stopped by the security guard standing aside.

Ye Tian shook his head lightly, and said with a smile:

"It's not time yet, Mustafa, after we enter the cabin, register all these valuable gold products, and take video data, it will not be too late for you to appreciate it!"

Hearing this, Mustafa and the others could only nod their heads.

Next, Ye Tian asked two of his staff to lift the crate and carried it into the cabin of the engineering ship.

Everyone followed into the cabin, all excited.

After entering the cabin, several employees of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company immediately began to count these gold products, register them, and shoot video materials.

Mustafa and the Ethiopian archaeologist stood aside to supervise them, both of them shining in their eyes.

The broadcast team of the National Geographic Channel always focuses on these golden antique artifacts.

In the process, Ye Tian is also introducing everyone.

"Through the patterns and patterns engraved on these gold products, especially the golden lion emblem, we can determine the origin of these gold products. They all come from the Solomon dynasty.

According to my assessment, the age when these gold products were manufactured should be four to five hundred years ago, that is to say, they were built during the rule of the Abyssinian Empire..."

In a short while, the inventory work was completed.

Afterwards, Mustafa and David rushed to them, picked up these ancient gold products, and began to appreciate them, everyone was fascinated.

Especially a few archaeologists, their eyes are as bright as searchlights.

Soon, they were determined.

These gold products are indeed like what Ye Tian said, they were built during the period of the Abyssinian Empire four to five hundred years ago, and each one is worth collecting antique cultural relics.

The Amharic language engraved on these gold products is exactly the names of several emperors during the period of the Abyssinian Empire, and the evidence is unequivocal.

After determining this point, several archaeologists were amazed.

They also had a whole new understanding of Ye Tian's incomparable vision and the superb ability to identify antique cultural relics and works of art.

After about ten or twenty minutes of appreciation, Mustafa and the others reluctantly put down these gold products.

Subsequently, Ye Tian asked his men to take a portable safe, put all these gold products into the safe, and then locked it in the captain's room.

The little fellow of the white elf was in the captain's room, and was responsible for guarding the sheepskin scroll and the safe full of gold products. It was very safe.

Next, Ye Tian took a satellite phone, handed it to Mustafa, and said with a smile:

"Mustafa, you can now inform Mr. President, tell Mr. President that we have found this amazing treasure that was hidden by the Italians during World War II!

I am pretty sure that after hearing this good news, Mr. President will be very happy. This is a huge surprise for your country and our company! "

Mustafa received the satellite call, but did not leave the cabin immediately to make a call outside.

He stared at Ye Tian and said with a serious expression:

"Steven, I would like to ask, can I tell Mr. President our current coordinates, that is, where this treasure is buried? It is also possible to strengthen the guard force of this water area and protect this treasure."

Ye Tian shook his head.

"I think it's better not to reveal the coordinates of this treasure for the time being. Most of today's time has passed. We have to start the next salvage and cleanup operation, and there is still a lot of preparation work to be done.

With the remaining half a day, we will prepare for the follow-up operation of salvaging and cleaning the treasure. After dawn tomorrow, the salvaging and cleaning operation of this treasure can be officially launched.

At that time, you can tell Mr. President the coordinates here. It seems more appropriate and safer. Even if the secrets are leaked, we don't have to worry that someone will come and salvage them at night! "

Mustafa was silent immediately, as did the other Ethiopian archaeologist.

After pondering for a moment, Mustafa nodded and said:

"Well, Steven, let me first inform the joint exploration team of the good news that the treasure has been found, and briefly introduce the size and value of this treasure, but I will not reveal the specific coordinates.

Tomorrow morning, the cleanup and salvage of this treasure will be officially launched. I will tell Mr. President the specific coordinates of this treasure and strengthen the protection of this water area! "

"Ok, this couldn't be better"

Ye Tian nodded and said.

Afterwards, Mustafa and the Ethiopian archaeologist left the cabin and called outside.

When they left, David immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice:

"StevenWhy have to wait until tomorrow to tell the Ethiopian government the coordinates of this amazing treasure? You are not just for safety reasons?"

Ye Tian looked at this guy, smiled and whispered:

"I just did a deep dive today. I can't take a plane. By tomorrow, I will be able to leave here by seaplane. The follow-up treasure cleaning and salvage operations, I am going to leave it to my subordinates.

This amazing treasure has been found, and there is no need for me to stay here anymore. Another point is that my departure will make the Ethiopian government hesitate and dare not play any tricks!

Tomorrow you will leave with me. Let’s go back to Gondar and join Joshua. Next, we should go to the religious holy city of Axum. I foresee that we will have major discoveries in Axum! "

"Hahaha"

David chuckled softly, and then continued:

"I guess that's the way it is, it is true, you guy is so cunning!"
