Chapter 893 Is there really a treasure here?

The storm raged for two full days before it passed, but after the center of the storm passed, the underwater current on the seabed was no longer so terrifying. Lin Dong directly released the manipulator that fixed Qianlong and began to sneak towards the target area.

Because she couldn't go up to the surface of the sea, besides taking photos of all kinds of underwater creatures, Ji Yao and Lin Dong spent the rest of her time capturing wild game that she could see.After all, these things, especially those that are 200 meters underwater, and they are on the bottom of the sea, are so strange!

What's more, with the storm this time, many things that had never been seen before were swept out by the storm, which made Lin Dong and Ji Yao's eyes wide open—of course, in Ji Yao's eyes , It should be an eye-opener for him. Basically, anything that is rolled out by the sea, Lin Dong knows its scientific name, living habits, and whether it is poisonous or not.This made her really sure that Lin Dong had done enough homework before coming here!
"You mean, there are treasures here?" Ji Yao looked at the seabed covered with reefs, and looked at Lin Dong suspiciously, most of them didn't believe it.

Although Lin Dong was quite professional in the past, at least in distinguishing the creatures on the bottom of the sea and handling emergencies, she was really good enough, but now looking at these reefs and saying that there are treasures here, she really didn't guess.

"Can't you see it?" Lin Dong said with a smile: "If you can see it at a glance, then these sunken ships will not stay until now, and they have been salvaged long ago!"

Lin Dong was right.This route was opened up after the great discovery of world navigation.Many captains used this route to transport the gold and silver looted from the Americas to Java, and then transferred to the Indian Ocean to Europe.There are as many sunken ships here as there are in the South China Sea.

Because of this, this route is also the target of those crazy salvage shipwrecks in the world, and many shipwrecks have been salvaged.

"Then..." Seeing Lin Dong's confidence, Ji Yao knew that there must be a shipwreck nearby. She pursed her lips, turned her head, and carefully looked at the "reefs" outside through the porthole, feeling that the treasure was there. The secret should be in these reefs.

However, any reef seems to be natural. It has not moved for hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of years on the seabed.It was covered with coral without exception, and various sea creatures swam in and out of the crevices of the reef. She even saw a moray eel quickly prey on an octopus, and then retreated into a small hole next to the reef.

Ji Yao shook her head, indicating that she didn't see it.

Lin Dong smiled and pointed to an unremarkable reef not far away and said, "Didn't you notice that reef is a bit too regular in shape?"

Following the direction of Lin Dong's finger, Ji Yao looked over and found that the reef was a piece of triangular section, like an ancient foreign triangular boat hat. The proportions of the two ends of the reef were almost the same, and they were both curved downwards. into the sea.Just now Ji Yao also looked at this "reef" that looked to be more than 30 meters long, but it was covered with corals, so she ignored it because she didn't see any other features.

Now reminded by Lin Dongyi, after looking carefully, I found that the "reef" is indeed a bit special. First of all, the shape of the two sides is almost exactly the same, which is too symmetrical.Although nature has endowed many things with strange attributes, it is the first time Ji Yao has seen such a regular seabed reef these days.

"That's..." With Lin Dong's reminder, Ji Yao immediately began to imagine.Before Lin Dong said that he would take her to hunt for treasure, she also did her homework. Now she made a comparison, and she immediately came up with her own guess: "It should be the hull that was turned upside down, right? It's just where the upper part of the mast is. gone?"

Lin Dong gave a thumbs up: "Yes, the guess is right. Let's guess again, if the ship encountered the same storm as we did two days ago, then the upper part of the ship's deck should be broken by the storm or It was swept away, and then the waves sent the boat to the bottom of the sea, and the current turned the boat over...that's roughly what it should be like!"

"This is just your assumption. Who knows if it's true or not? Maybe it's a rock?" Although Ji Yao believed it [-]% to [-]% in her heart, she still opposed Lin Dong's guess, "You are not Prophet, who knows for certain?"

Lin Dong smiled: "Just look at it!" Then he steered Qianlong towards the reef.

Huge monsters like Qianlong drove into the reefs, causing panic among sea creatures of all sizes. They retreated into holes, or ran out of hiding places, and fled in all directions. No desire to attack.

When he reached the "reef", Lin Dong stopped Qianlong and slowly stopped on a relatively flat place on the seabed.After the anchor was fixed, a mechanical arm was stretched out, and Lin Dong manipulated it to explore the "reef".

Ji Yao was recording the video, saw Lin Dong's movements, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't destroy it..."

Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "The structure inside has been destroyed long ago. The outside is just a shell. If you want to see what's inside, it's impossible not to destroy it. The depth of the sea, this place, if you want to be complete It's impossible to get this thing back to the country."

Ji Yao had no choice but to shake her head regretfully, and continued to shoot.

In fact, it can be shipped back intact—but, is that necessary?

Lin Dong thinks, no.

Even though he said so and thought so, when manipulating the robotic arm, Lin Dong carefully removed the coral attached to it, and then slowly peeled off a corner to reveal the substance underneath—as expected it had been destroyed long ago up.The outer layer is minerals and limestone deposited in seawater.Now that this thing is peeled off, the contents inside have been shattered, revealing holes of all sizes—the inside should be the bottom cabin.

"Sure enough, it's a shipwreck!" Ji Yao said excitedly. At this time, she no longer had to be careful just now, but excitedly pointed to those holes and asked Lin Dong: "What will be in here?"

After finishing speaking, Ji Yao's face changed, and she suddenly thought, could there be bones of dead sailors in it?

Seeing Ji Yao's expression, Lin Dong knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "I think there should be nothing but cargo. When a storm comes, sailors should be on deck unless they feel very safe. On, everything on it was smashed, how could it still be there?"

I added in my heart: Indeed, there is nothing but gold and silver boxes...
