Chapter 1494 The Rusty Metal Box
"Steven, Matisse, come and take a look, the condition of this wooden crate is a bit special, it may be a new discovery!"
Raymond's voice came from the earphones, full of excitement.
Hearing these words, Ye Tian and Mathis immediately turned their heads to look at him, and then swam to where Raymond was.
At this time, they were already in front of the fourth pile of wooden crates covered by rope nets, and they were checking these wooden crates, and they had already harvested, and found three crates of nacui gold one after another.
In addition to the nacui gold they discovered before, they have found thirty boxes of dazzling nacui gold in this cargo hold alone.
Based on the calculation of each box of ten trapezoidal gold ingots and the weight of each gold ingot is fifteen kilograms, the weight of the nacui gold they found is as high as four and a half tons, which is amazing!
If the current market conditions are used to convert these golds into US dollars, the value of these nacui golds will be as high as 210 million US dollars, which can be called an astronomical figure!
More importantly, this is just a cargo hold that hasn't been checked yet, and there are several cargo holds behind. Ye Tian and the others have not stopped discovering the treasure, and surprises are still appearing constantly!
With the appearance of boxes of nacui gold, the impact of this treasure hunt is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more eyes are gathered in this sea area, and every look is extremely hot!
Driven by greed, some guys, organizations, and even countries with ulterior motives have launched operations to try to get a share of the action. It would be great to be able to monopolize this shipwreck treasure!
At the same time, Ye Tian's counter-self-defense operation has also started, and the plan is well-planned and impeccable!
Outside the live broadcast screen, the undercurrent has already been raging, just like the hydrological situation in this sea area, under the calm sea surface, there are countless violent undersea undercurrents hidden!
Ye Tian, who was in the depths of the sea and was exploring in the cargo ship's cabin, was not at all worried that someone would have an idea for the treasure of the sunken ship.
Doesn't this kind of thing happen to him often? It has long been commonplace!
No matter who the opponent is, judging from the current situation, it is basically impossible to rush to this sea area immediately.
Even if they arrived in time, they didn't dare to send people to dive deep to snatch the treasure of this shipwreck without being familiar with the hydrological conditions. Those idiots who died on the bottom of the sea before,
It is a bloody lesson learned from the past!
When Ye Tian and his group's exploration operation is over, the operation to salvage the sunken ship's treasure will start overnight, trying to salvage the nacui gold and jewelry diamonds as quickly as possible, so as not to give anyone else an opportunity!
As long as these nacui gold, jewels and diamonds are salvaged out of the water and loaded into the Dreadnought, then even if the king of heaven comes, he will not even think about getting his hands on this huge wealth!
This is the open sea waters, the exploration fleet is not weak, and there is also a live broadcast group of the National Geographic Channel here, and countless eyes from all over the world are focused here.
Faced with this situation, I believe that not many people or countries dare to loot the exploration fleet and Ye Tian with open fire. This is one of the reasons why Ye Tian held this live broadcast of the treasure hunt!
In addition, there are two American warships stalking nearby. Those American soldiers are not for display. Since they take money, they have to do things!
With a Burke-class destroyer and a Supply-class fast combat support ship standing by to cheer, who would dare to attack the Dauntless? Unless you're bored of life!
After the nacui gold, jewels and diamonds were fished out of the water and counted, Ye Tian would immediately transport them away by helicopter.
Next, he plans to use the US military's air force bases in Europe and US military transport planes to directly transport this batch of Nacui gold, jewelry and diamonds back to New York, so that no one else can even touch them!
He has done the same thing in the Caribbean Sea, and he can be said to be familiar with it, but the price he paid is just a sum of money, which is not worth mentioning at all!
When this batch of Nacui gold, jewelry and diamonds arrives in New York smoothly, everything will be fine, don't worry about anyone else!
Because they are treasures from shipwrecks in the high seas, even if someone sues in New York, the US courts have no jurisdiction, and Ye Tian can only let Ye Tian swallow this huge wealth!
In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian and Mathis swam to Raymond's side. After using the rope nets to stabilize their figures, they immediately looked at the wooden crate that Raymond pointed to.
From the outside, the wooden crate was no different from other boxes, with several bump marks on it, and the remaining text information showed that it used to contain gum arabic!
"Tell me, Raymond, what's so special about this crate!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes at the same time.
He knew better than anyone what was in this wooden crate, and now it was just a show!
Raymond turned his head to look at Ye Tian and Mathis, then patted the wooden crate under his hands lightly, and said excitedly:
"Compared to those wooden crates with only seawater and debris, this crate is obviously heavier, but compared to those wooden crates containing nacui gold, this crate is much lighter.
Because of this, I said that the case of this box is quite special. According to my estimation, the weight of this wooden crate is about eighty or ninety kilograms. I don’t know what is inside! "
"In this way, the situation of this wooden crate is indeed quite special, let me feel its weight!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian swung his legs slightly, swam a little closer, and then stretched out his hand to gently push the wooden crate.
As Raymond said, the weight of this box is only eighty or ninety kilograms, and the feel is obviously different from other boxes that have been checked before.
While withdrawing his right hand, Ye Tian pretended to be excited and said:
"The condition of this box is really different. It is likely to contain other things, maybe it is a jewelry diamond with a higher value. Let's open it and have a look!"
"Okay, Steven, let's open the box right now, and hope that the contents of this box can bring everyone a surprise!"
Raymond responded, and then cooperated with Mathis to start breaking down the wooden crate.
At the same time, everyone's eyes lit up in front of the live broadcast. Everyone was staring at the live broadcast screen and the slightly damaged wooden crate, unwilling to blink!
Without any effort at all, Matisse and Raymond easily pried open a board on the wooden crate, and the situation inside the box was immediately presented to everyone.
There is no dazzling Nacui gold, nor brilliant jewel diamonds.
Inside the box, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a boxy cubic metal box, stacked in a staggered manner, and a small lock was hung on each metal box!
Under the dual effects of time and sea water, those metal boxes are already full of rust, and the same is true for the locks that lock the metal boxes. They are covered with rust and are already scrapped!
Looking in from the gaps in the pried wooden boards, we can see that the metal boxes are not big, the length, width, and height are only about 30 centimeters, but they are made of a lot of materials, and they look quite strong!
Rather than saying that these are metal boxes, it is better to say that they are simple safes, which seem to be more appropriate, but they do not know what is contained in these safes!
After looking at the situation in the box, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Pry open the two boards again, and then take out the metal box on the top. Let's see what's in that metal box? Maybe it's a huge surprise!"
"Understood, Steven, look at ours"
Matisse responded, and then started to work again, continuing to pry the wooden boards on the box.
After a while, they finished their work, and Mathis took out a metal box from the box and handed it to Ye Tian.
After taking the metal box, Ye Tian didn't rush to open the box to see what was inside.
He first weighed the weight of the metal box, then checked it carefully over and over again, and then said with a smile:
"It can be felt that this metal box is not too heavy, and the things contained in it obviously cannot be gold ingots, it must be something else, I don't know for the time being!
But I believe that the things contained in it must be of great value, otherwise Rommel and his men would not be so cautious and actually put a second insurance on it.
What treasure is contained in this metal box? I am very curious, and I believe everyone is too, Matisse, cut off this lock, let everyone have a look! "
As he spoke, he turned the side of the metal box with the lock to Matisse.
"Okay, Steven"
Mattis nodded, and immediately took action.
In the blink of an eye, the rusty lock head was cut into two sections, the lower lock head fell to the bulkhead, and the upper half of the lock cylinder was still hanging on the metal box.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian pinched the half of the occlusion, twisted it back and forth a few times, and after twisting it alive, he took it off the metal box!
