Chapter 3054: Dive into the bottom of the lake(1/2)

Compared with the first exploration location, the second exploration location has deeper lake water.

The small underwater robot dived for about 70 meters, but still did not reach the bottom of the lake, and even did not photograph algae growing in the lake.

This situation is enough to show that the depth of the lake bottom is at least eighty meters, or even deeper.

Seeing this result, Mustafa and the others were very surprised.

"I didn't expect that this water area was so deep. Among the hydrological records surveyed by our domestic institutions, the deepest part of Lake Tana is only more than seventy meters. I didn't expect that there would be such a deep place.

It seems that I need to report this situation, and then organize relevant departments to carefully survey and find out the most realistic hydrological situation of Lake Tana. Maybe there will be other discoveries!"

Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend and said with a smile:

"Obviously, your Ethiopian government's understanding of Lake Tana is not actually comprehensive, and it is not even as good as the Italians during World War II. You should indeed do a comprehensive investigation.

Perhaps it is precisely because this water is very deep that the Italians drove the treasure ship here to sank. In the next few decades, you have never discovered this hidden treasure.

Of course, the reason why this water is so deep is also related to the fact that it is the water abundance period of Lake Tana. The rainy season has just passed, and the depth of Lake Tana will naturally increase, including this water,..."

While we were talking, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared on the large screen of the TV.

This black shadow is just below the small underwater robot, looking a bit like a mountain with many algae plants on it.

However, this black shadow is very sharp at this end of the small underwater robot.

More importantly, when the small underwater robot approached the black shadow, the underwater metal detector it carried suddenly rang, and the sound was like the sound of nature.

The first time he heard this sound, Ye Tian waved his fist hard and said excitedly:

"Gentlemen, if I guess correctly, we should have found the treasure ship that was sunk by the Italians during World War II, and found that amazing treasure!"

Before the words could be finished, cheers rang out at the scene.

"Great! I finally found this amazing treasure, it's worth this trip!"

"Wow! This is really good news. I just don't know how many valuable gold, silver and antique cultural relics are hidden in this treasure? This is so exciting."

While cheering, everyone was celebrating with high fives, and everyone was extremely excited.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Guys, stop diving, turn on all the searchlights and thrusters, and slowly get closer to that black shadow, which is probably the treasure ship we are looking for.

When approaching, be careful of the algae plants, don’t get entangled. When you get close to the black shadow, don’t enter it and explore the outside.”

"I understand, Steven, let us leave these things, even if you don't worry."

The explorer who manipulated the underwater robot responded that these guys were also very excited.

The next moment, the small underwater robot stopped diving, then turned on all searchlights and thrusters, and slowly leaned towards the black shadow that lies at the bottom of the lake.

The pictures on the TV on the large screen change, becoming clearer and brighter.

In a blink of an eye, the small underwater robot was approaching the black shadow.

The part with the black shadow protruding outward is clearly presented on the video screen.

At the same time, the sound of the metal detector became even more rapid.

"There is no doubt that this is the bow of a steamer, and the ship is not small in size, but it is covered with algae, covering its original appearance.

As for the situation around Lake Tana, it is rare to see such a large ship. From this point alone, it is basically certain that this is the treasure ship we are looking for!”

Ye Tian said firmly and gave a positive conclusion.

With his words, there was another cheer on the scene.

The small underwater robot located deep in the bottom of the lake continues to explore.

For safety reasons, the small underwater robot did not really dive to the bottom of the lake, but was suspended above the treasure ship and photographed from a high place.

In order to cooperate with this small underwater robot hanging deep in the bottom of the lake, the engineering ship on the lake also lifted the iron anchor and began to slowly circle the lake.

It didn't take long for the small underwater robot to determine the location, depth, and posture of the shipwreck at the bottom of the lake.

Fortunately, the terrain at the bottom of this lake is relatively flat.

The treasure ship was basically the same, and it was not broken. It just lies deep in the bottom of the lake and has been sleeping for more than seventy years.

And the depth of this lake is more than 85 meters!

This depth is unexpected and far exceeds the maximum depth of Lake Tana recorded in relevant hydrological data.

However, this doesn't matter and no one pays attention.

It took about half an hour before the small underwater robot completed the preliminary survey work.

Then, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Guys, take back that small underwater robot. Its mission has been completed. Next, the diver is out."

"Okay, Steven"

Several Exploration team members responded and took action immediately.

The next moment, the small underwater robot began to rise rapidly and left the bottom of the lake.

In the cabin of the engineering ship on the lake, Ye Tian has begun to prepare for the next exploration action.

"Gentlemen, next I will lead a few divers to dive into the depths of the lake to check the situation of this wreck. I hope this is the treasure ship we are looking for.

If this is really the treasure ship that the Italians sank, we will find a way to enter it and check the situation inside the ship. If it cannot enter, we can only cut the ship.

Mustafa, because the conditions at the bottom of the lake are quite special, you have not undergone deep diving training, cannot perform deep diving, and even can't swim, so you can only stay in the cabin.

During the exploration process, we will wear high-definition underwater cameras to record the exploration process throughout. You can watch it on a large-screen TV and participate in the exploration action in this way.

Of course, you have another option, which is to take our company's small laser private submarine and follow us to dive into the depths of the lake to explore this hidden treasure!"

Before he finished speaking, Mustafa shook his head firmly.

"We'd better stay on the lake! Steven, you're right. I can't even swim. Where can I dare to dive deep, where can I dive into the bottom of the lake more than 80 meters deep to explore the treasure.

As for taking your small private submarine for deep diving, to be honest, I didn’t dare either. I was a little scared when I thought of diving into such a deep lake bottom and entering a dark world!”

"It's okay, Mustafa, you've never had this experience, it's normal to feel fear, it's human nature, and it's the same if it's someone else.

You just stay in this cabin, and participate in the exploration actions at the bottom of the lake in real time through video images. The effect is actually the same and safer!”

Ye Tian nodded with a smile.

He had long expected this situation that there was no deep diving expert in the entire Ethiopian exploration team, and even in the entire Ethiopia.

What's more, Mustafa, a land duck, is impossible to go deep into the lake.

Unlike Mustafa, the host of the National Geographic Channel broadcasting group is eager to try it out.

Although this guy has no deep dive certificate, as a media reporter, he has enough adventurous spirit.

"Steven, can we take that aurora submarine and follow you to the depths of the lake to photograph the whole process of exploring the treasure ship at the bottom of the lake? That must be very exciting!"

Ye Tian looked at this guy, then smiled and shook his head.

"Not this time, Carl, we haven't figured out the situation deep in the lake yet. Perhaps there are many unknown dangers hidden, so you can't follow us this time.

The video materials we filmed deep in the lake, except for a small part of the content that needs to be kept confidential, you can use them to create exploration programs and broadcast them publicly.

Only when we find out the situation at the bottom of the lake and make sure that the treasure left over from World War II we are looking for is deep in the bottom of the lake and eliminate the danger, can you take a small submarine to the bottom of the lake to shoot."

This result disappointed the reporter from National Geographic Channel.

But he had no choice but to accept it.

"Well, Steven, I hope we have the opportunity to go deep into the bottom of the lake and explore this treasure left over from World War II with you!"

Just as Ye Tian made arrangements, the small underwater robot had been lifted to the lake and placed on the deck of the engineering ship.

Mattis and the others and several employees of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company were also busy.

They are busy deploying personnel and various equipment to prepare for the upcoming deep-dive exploration.

...

In a blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.

Except for Mustafa, an Ethiopian archaeologist, and a lawyer representing the Ethiopian government, the rest of the non-Havenly Exploration Company on the engineering ship were invited away.

These people were transferred to a medium-sized cruise ship and stayed with the explorers who stayed on the cruise ship.

Of course, the broadcast team of National Geographic Channel is still on the engineering ship.

After such operation, the construction ship was completely under Ye Tian's control and had no hidden dangers.

He did this for safety reasons.

While completing the staffing, Ye Tian and his team are ready to explore in depth.

Because the customized iron cage is limited in volume, it also needs to carry several spare oxygen cylinders and submersible thrusters, as well as some underwater exploration equipment, so there should not be too many people in the first wave of deep diving.

Except for Ye Tian, ​​only Peter and Charlie were diving with him and exploring the shipwreck at the bottom of the lake.

As for the construction ship on the lake, it was controlled by Mattis.

Those who operate cranes and other equipment are all exploration team members under Ye Tian.
