Chapter 3204 Maritime Exploration
In a moment, the medium-sized helicopter had flown to the top of the mountain and landed steadily on the top of the mountain.
Subsequently, Ye Tian asked Jason and the others to carry the Carthaginian coins and antique artifacts into the helicopter cabin, and **** them to the deep-sea salvage ship Brave and Intrepid on the distant sea.
Soon, the H155 medium-sized helicopter took off again and flew directly towards the Brave and Dauntless anchored at sea.
Looking at this scene happening on the top of the mountain, the Moroccan police and security personnel, as well as many fishermen staying at the bottom of the mountain, suddenly understood.
The three-party joint exploration team must have discovered something on the top of the mountain, otherwise they would not have transferred helicopters from the sea. They were obviously transferring something.
After confirming this, the people at the foot of the mountain immediately went crazy.
"Those guys Steven must have discovered some treasure. I wonder if it's the legendary Atlantis, or maybe it's some other treasure or secret?"
"Our ancestors have lived here for generations, but we haven't found anything. These guys have only been here a few hours, and they actually found the treasure. How is this possible?"
"This is our village, and the treasures buried here naturally belong to us. We should at least have a share, and we can't just let others sweep them away!"
While there was a lot of discussion, the fishermen were also a little restless, but mostly unwilling.
Seeing this situation, a Moroccan Ministry of Culture official who stayed at the foot of the mountain immediately asked the police and security personnel to be more vigilant to prevent accidents.
At the same time, he also stated that if the tripartite joint exploration team really finds something here, after the cleanup work is completed, the Moroccan government will definitely compensate these fishermen and will not let them get nothing.
After listening to his explanation and looking at the police and security personnel with live ammunition, the fishermen had no choice but to accept the reality and continue to stay at the foot of the mountain.
However, they always paid attention to what was happening on the top of the mountain.
In a moment, the H155 helicopter had flown back to the Brave and Dauntless and landed smoothly on the helipad.
A moment later, Jason's voice came from the intercom.
"Steven, we have arrived at the deep-sea salvage ship Intrepid and have transferred the Carthaginian coins and antique artifacts to the safe in the cabin. Those things are very safe now"
After hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Well done, you don't need to come over for the time being. Just stay on the Brave and Dauntless and notify 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 take Yahya and the others to the Brave and Dauntless. In the afternoon, I will drive a small submarine to explore the bottom of the sea to see the situation on the bottom of the sea."
"Got it, Steven"
Jason responded and immediately ended the call.
Next, Ye Tian went to the edge of the underground chamber where the Carthage treasure was 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 to explore the fishing village below to see if I can find anything.
However, several exploration team members and security personnel will be left on the top of the mountain to cooperate with Professor Paul's work and provide them with various supports.
Professor Paul and the others were studying the Phoenician characters and patterns obsessively. They did not want to leave this underground secret room for a moment, so naturally they would not raise any objections.
Of course, not all of them stay in this underground secret room for research.
Professor Kane, who did not understand Phoenician writing, came out of this underground secret room and prepared to follow the group.
Afterwards, everyone packed up their exploration equipment, walked down from the top of the mountain, and went straight into the fishing village located on the west side of the hill.
When everyone arrived, Ye Tian began to assign tasks and started exploring this ancient fishing village based on the previous groupings.
During the subsequent exploration, everyone did discover something, but it had nothing to do with the legendary Atlantis.
And the value of these things is very average, with no mining value, let alone treasures.
Of course, this is for the three-party joint exploration team.
For those fishermen, it may be a different story.
Ye Tian asked his exploration team to record all the discoveries above the ground and prepare to hand them over to the fishermen as a small compensation to them.
As for the metal objects buried deep underground, he had no intention of telling the fishermen, lest those guys dig indiscriminately and destroy their homes without getting much benefit.
Although Yahya and others know where these metal items are buried, they also know that the value of these items is not high, and they will not bring anyone here to dig them out afterwards!
Such exploration results 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 before continuing their exploration in the afternoon.
As soon as they returned here, the fishermen gathered here immediately began to ask loudly.
"Mr. Steven, may I ask, what did you find on the top of the mountain? Is it an unknown treasure? Or is it a clue about Atlantis?"
"Where is the specific location of this treasure? Our ancestors have lived here for generations, why haven't we discovered it? You discovered the treasure as soon as you arrived?"
"One more thing, did you transport all the things found in this treasure to the ship far away? What exactly is in this treasure?"
Many fishermen asked questions in various directions, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, envy, and even a bit of hostility.
Ye Tian looked at these Moroccan fishermen, then said with a smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we did find something at the top of this hill, but what we found 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. It is very hidden. It is not surprising that you have not discovered it before because you do not have suitable exploration equipment.
Mr. Yahya or other Moroccan government officials will introduce you to the specific situation of this treasure of Carthage civilization. I will not introduce it here."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured to Yahya.
Yahya looked a little embarrassed, as did the other Moroccan officials.
They originally did not want to tell these fishermen the truth, lest they get into trouble.
Unfortunately, Ye Tian immediately explained the discovery of this Carthage treasure.
In this way, they can no longer hide it and can only tell these fishermen the truth or tell part of the treasure.
Yahya was just about to step forward to explain the situation, but he was overtaken by the excited fishermen.
"Ah! There is indeed a treasure on the top of the mountain, and it is a Carthage treasure. Although I have never heard of Carthage, the value of this treasure is definitely not low."
"Since the treasure has really been discovered, can we also get a share? I just don't know how much we can get"
While there was a lot of discussion, these fishermen were also excited and full of longing.
After a few words of discussion, they looked at Yahya, waiting for him to report the specific situation.
Looking at this scene, Ye Tian chuckled twice, and then led David and the others away from here and walked towards the platform by the sea.
How to appease these fishermen is a matter for the Moroccan government, and he has no intention of getting involved.
After they left, Yahya thought for a moment and then began to introduce the situation to the fishermen.
With his introduction, the fishermen all cheered excitedly.
But what they will get in the end is unknown.
Ye Tian and the others soon arrived at the platform by the sea and began to explore.
Unfortunately, they found nothing surprising.
The only discovery is that an ancient building did exist here, but it collapsed hundreds or thousands of years ago, leaving only a little foundation.
Due to the continuous erosion of sea water and the tempering of time, no words can be seen on the remaining foundation, and it is impossible to judge its distribution range and the age of construction.
More than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
After exploring the platform on the seaside, Ye Tian and the others returned to the location of the convoy.
At this time, the Moroccan fishermen had been calmed down by Yahya.
Their emotions gradually calmed down, but they still looked a little aggrieved, but more worried and helpless.
The few 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 thoroughly cleaned the underground secret room, and then took pictures of all the words and patterns engraved on the walls, floors, and ceilings, preparing to study them slowly.
The main reason is that they don't want to miss the next underwater exploration operation.
After returning to the foot of the mountain to wash up, they began to introduce some of the things they had just discovered.
"Stephen, by studying the Phoenician characters and patterns carved in that underground chamber, we can basically determine that there once was an ancient castle on the top of this hill.
This castle was built by the Phoenicians around 480 BC. The underground chamber is an annex to the castle and is located in the core area. However, it is not known how long this castle has existed.
There are very few people who know about the underground secret room. Only the guard knows about the existence of the underground secret room, and the rest of the soldiers don't know. The main function of the underground secret room is to store property.
But for some unknown reason, these Carthage coins and the two bronze statues were not taken away. Judging from the fact that the underground chamber was sealed, a major change must have occurred at that time."
Next, Professor Paul and the others shared all their findings.
Although they discovered the origin of the Carthaginian treasure on the top of the mountain and determined that there once 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 characters and patterns. It is not yet known whether there will be any discoveries in the remaining characters and patterns.
After listening to their introduction, Ye Tian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said doubtfully:
“Why did the Carthaginians build a castle here? I don’t quite understand. You know, Carthage’s two main enemies, ancient Rome and ancient Greece, were both on the east and north coast of the Mediterranean.
The western coast of the Mediterranean and North Africa, including the Strait of Gibraltar, are all under Carthage's control. There is no need for them to build a castle here. Is it possible that they have to guard against enemies from the Atlantic? ”
"Ah!"
Professor Paul and the others all exclaimed and froze on the spot.
After they woke up, they immediately began to discuss Ye Tian's hypothesis, but everyone felt it was unlikely.
In the blink of an eye, it’s lunch time.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Tian and the others immediately ended their discussion and prepared to have lunch.
Since everyone is exploring treasures at the beach, you can’t miss the opportunity to have a barbecue at the beach.
Soon, a row of barbecue grills was set up on the beach.
Boxes of pre-marinated beef and seafood, as well as various other ingredients, were brought up one after another.
After a while, bursts of tempting fragrance came from the scene, accompanied by moving music and laughter, and quickly spread throughout the coast.
In the blink of an eye, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon.
The barbecue grills that were previously set up on the beach, as well as the numerous folding tables, chairs, benches, and boxes containing various ingredients have all been put away.
Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the aroma of barbecue that originally filled the air has completely dissipated.
All everyone smelled was the slightly fishy sea breeze.
After eating, drinking, and taking a short rest, everyone was ready to start the next step of exploration.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and notified the Brave and the super yacht to send speedboats over to pick everyone up.
As the order came out, the two medium-sized helicopters parked on the Brave 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, speeding towards the shore.
The first to arrive here were two medium-sized helicopters.
When the two medium-sized helicopters stopped on the coast, Ye Tian and the others immediately stepped forward with their backpacks and exploration equipment and got into the cabins of the two medium-sized helicopters.
Then, the two medium-sized helicopters roared into the sky and flew straight towards the two large ships on the distant sea.
In the blink of an eye, the H155 helicopter they were riding in, Ye Tian and Yahya, had flown over the Brave and Fearless and landed steadily on the apron at the stern of the ship.
When they came out of the cabin, walked down the ramp of the apron, and landed on the deck of the Brave and Dauntless, the H155 helicopter roared into the air again and flew quickly towards the shore.
Looking at the helicopter flying off the deck, the world's top deep-sea salvage ship, the superyacht not far away, another medium-sized helicopter hovering in the sky, and the speeding car on the sea Four speedboats,
Both the Moroccans led 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 a bit scary. You are so willing to spend money on a joint exploration operation with an uncertain future.
That is, your Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company. If it were any other treasure hunting company, even some moderately developed countries, they would not be able to carry out such a massive exploration operation."
"Yes, your handwriting is really amazing and eye-opening!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but smile proudly.
For you and everyone else, this is indeed a joint exploration operation with an uncertain future, and the possibility of failure is far greater than the possibility of success.
But for me, it's something else entirely.
In my case, there is no such thing as failure, so I dare to do this!
