Bab 758: Chapter 758: Top Deck
As the distance narrowed, the outline of the sunken ship in front became clearer and clearer, and Ye Tian and Matisse became more and more excited, their eyes brightened!
In a blink of an eye, they arrived near the sunken ship and stopped slowly at a distance of four or five meters.
Afterwards, the two quickly adjusted the buoyancy vests, and then paired them with submersible thrusters to float themselves in the water, with their feet very close to the seabed, only about forty or fifty centimeters.
The seabed directly below them is a small piece of white sand, no protruding rocks, no bottom-dwelling crustacean marine species, occasionally only one or two small fish swim by, it seems not dangerous!
But because of the ancient shipwreck in front of them, no one knows whether there is any sharp object hidden under the white sand. For the sake of safety, it is better not to land.
The two of them had just stabilized their bodies, before they had time to look at their surroundings, a dozen beautiful red and yellow fish suddenly swam out of the ship cabin, swinging their tail fins and swimming straight towards them.
This is a small group of yellow vertical striped angelfish, if someone study the ornamental fish, can recognize it at a glance.
The yellow vertical striped angelfish is a shallow sea-dwelling fish with a body length of up to 30 cm. The spindle-shaped light red fish has many bright yellow stripes running through the whole body from head to tail. It is very beautiful!
Obviously, these guys were attracted by the light from the searchlight.
Their appearance succeeded in attracting the attention of Ye Tian and Matisse. The two temporarily moved their eyes from the sunken ship in front of them, admiring this group of beautiful marine fish!
Soon, these guys swam to the front, swimming quickly around Ye Tian and Matisse.
These guys have a strong curiosity about the front end of the thruster and the searchlights on Ye Tian and others, and they will swim in front of a few searchlights from time to time to observe these bright lights.
There are a few that are more lively, flying up and down around the light emitted by the searchlight, chasing fast, as if to catch these bright beams!
Some fish swim in front of the full-face diving masks and curiously look at Ye Tian in the diving mask. They don't understand what these strange creatures are!
Under the illumination of the light, the movements of these yellow vertical stripes angelfishes appear very smart, elegant, and pleasing to the eye!
After they cruised around Ye Tian for a while and their curiosity was exhausted, these beautiful fishes just left and swam towards the bow of the ship!
"The colors of these guys are so bright! Especially under the lights, they look very charming. When I return to New York, I plan to raise a few for fun and decorate my life. It must be very interesting!"
Matisse sighed in a low voice, his eyes still staring at the beautiful fishes that were drifting away.
"Yellow striped angelfish is indeed a very beautiful ornamental fish. It is very suitable for keeping at home. It will definitely add a bit of beauty to your life. I like these guys too!"
Ye Tian nodded lightly, his eyes also following the movement of the yellow vertical striped angelfishes.
It wasn't until the dozens of beautiful fishes disappeared from the bow that they looked back and looked at the shipwreck near the sea.
This is indeed a Spanish four-masted galleon, and it is indeed an armed transport ship, not a battleship. The situation is the same as before, but now it is more clear!
The fifty-meter-long ancient Galleon sailing ship did not be anything from a distance. When they walked closer and looked at it, they immediately realized that it was a giant ship, and it felt quite shocking!
Especially the holes on the side of the hull that were smashed by solid shells, as well as the huge cracks and bullet marks of different depths all over the hull, it was very shocking! They can even feel the smoke of gunfire!
"I don't know what this transport ship was carrying, it was attacked so frantically! From these dense bullet marks, it can be seen that this transport ship must have been under siege!
The one who can siege a Spanish armed transport ship in the Caribbean is either a large group of pirates or the British fleet that was vying with Spain for maritime supremacy at the time!
But no matter who it is, they must have come for the cargo carried on the ship, otherwise the gain will not be worth the loss! What exactly is on this armed transport ship? I am very curious!"
Ye Tian pointed to the devastated hull and said, eyes full of expectation.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's start exploring, Steven, I'm also very curious, I can't wait to get into the cabin and see what's in it!"
Matisse said excitedly, with an expression of eagerness.
"Okay! Matisse, we must first find out the identity of this transport ship, and determine whether it is the Malaga's Princess Treasure Ship. Regarding this, I believe we can find the exact answer in the ship cabin!
After searching the ship stern, let's enter the cabin again to see what cargo is inside, which has attracted such a crazy siege. I hope it is a large number of dazzling gold and silver treasures, it will be perfect!"
After speaking, Ye Tian swam out with the submersible thruster and went straight to the heavily damaged three-story ship cabin on the right front.
Matisse followed closely, his excited eyes shining straight.
In a blink of an eye, they had reached their position, suspended in the water in front of the ship cabin.
Taking a quick look at the situation of the ship cabin, Ye Tian quickly determined the starting point of the search.
"Matisse, let's start from the top deck and search layer by layer. It's best not to miss a corner and search this sunken ship thoroughly!
If there is no treasure in this shipwreck, let's treat it as entertainment. If there is a treasure, even if there is only one gold coin, don't miss it!"
"Okay! This arrangement is very reasonable. Compared with the several sunken ships we encountered before, this shipwreck is obviously more important. We need be too serious!"
Matisse nodded in response, no disagreement.
Afterwards, the two of them swam towards the upper deck of the ship building, driven by the submersible propeller.
The uppermost deck of the Galleon ship is located on the top of the ship building. The area is not large. It can neither be used to carry cargo nor the main position for defensive operations. The main function is to watch out and guard.
As the top deck, it is naturally open, and there are not many gun positions like other decks.
There are only two gun positions, the caliber of the artillery is very small, just two five-pounder guns, the range and power are quite limited, not much better than the fire gun!
If fighting breaks out, it will be mainly the musketeers fighting on this deck, not the two insignificant five-pound artillery pieces.
Ye Tian and the others quickly swam to this deck and officially started the exploration of the sunken ship.
In fact, there is nothing to explore here, all the conditions are clear at a glance, and they can see clearly.
Like the rest of the shipwreck, this deck is also covered with corals, layered on top of each other, there are corals of any age!
Similarly, there was a fierce attack here.
There are several gaps on the sides of the ship. At first glance, it was hit by a solid cannonball. The solid wood railings were smashed a long time ago, and they were almost falling apart!
The gun positions on both sides of the ship's gun were empty. The two five-pounder guns that were originally placed there hadn't known where they were flying!
Ye Tian and the others had no hope of finding something on this deck.
The reason why they came here, apart from seeing the situation, is more to leave the submersible thruster here to facilitate the next action.
After a quick glance, Ye Tian completely grasped the situation here, without any exploration value!
Immediately afterwards, he raised his finger to the railing on the ship's side and said:
"Matisse, let's leave the submersible thruster here. The space in the cabin is too small. Not only does carrying the thruster do not help, but it is a cumbersome! It is not conducive to the next action!"
After speaking, he unlocked the quick release lock on his waist that was connected to the submersible propeller and tied the propeller to the railing on the ship's side.
"Ok!"
Matisse responded and did the same.
After unloading the submersible thrusters one after another, the two immediately left the top deck and swam to the second deck of the ship cabin together, ready to explore there!
