After cruising around the submarine for a while, looking at Ye Tian and the others in the cockpit, the ray group quickly lost interest, flapping their huge wing-like pectoral fins and gliding away!

When they completely disappeared into the darkness in the distance, everyone just looked away, and everyone was still full of thoughts.

What followed was an exciting discussion.

"The faces of these rays are so scary! They are indeed ghostly!"

"That's right! Especially the sinister smiles on their faces give people a creepy feeling."

"This thing is really a complex of contradictions. Its swimming posture is elegant and elegant, but its appearance is so terrifying that it will make people have nightmares!"

After a few heated discussions, everyone's attention turned back to the San Antonio shipwreck, and they continued to explore this ancient Spanish warship.

Ye Tian turned on the perspective, and continued to explore the places in the cabin that the lights couldn't reach.

The line of sight passes through the transparent glass cockpit, the seawater several meters thick, and the bulkhead of the battleship ahead, and once again has a panoramic view of the situation inside.

This is still a cargo hold, to be precise, a water hold, which is used to store fresh water!

There are many water storage containers in the cabin, including water tanks and large wooden barrels. The water storage capacity is quite considerable, which can basically ensure the consumption of this battleship for a month or two.

Many buckets are fixed in the cabin. Even though the St. Anthony fought fiercely with pirates and sank to the bottom of the sea, these buckets have not overturned, and are still in their places and firmly fixed.

Beside those wooden buckets, there are still some empty boxes, and there are quite a few of them.

If unsurprisingly, these boxes were once filled with limes.

During ocean voyages, the shelf life of fresh water on sailboats is very short, and it will turn rancid within a few days, making it hard to swallow!

However, fresh water is a daily necessity for the human body, and no one can be an exception!

In order to cover up the rotten taste of fresh water, make it swallowable, and replenish water for the people on board, the navigators finally came up with a way after long-term exploration.

That is adding lime to fresh water! To improve water quality!

Although the fresh water with lime is still very unpalatable,

But at least it can be swallowed! Better than dying of thirst at sea!

Lime can not only slightly cover up the rotten smell of fresh water, but also prevent sepsis.

Because of this, in the age of sailing, every sailing ship that goes out to sea will carry a lot of limes, without exception! No matter the navies or pirates of various countries!

In addition to limes, there is another essential ingredient on these long-voyage sailboats, and that is rum!

For the sailors on long voyages, rum is definitely their favorite. When sailing at sea, the temptation of rum is even greater than gold!

Drinking rum, a by-product of sugar production, in moderation can not only supplement the energy needed by the human body, but also relieve the loneliness caused by long-distance voyages.

Moreover, rum can also be mixed with spoiled fresh water for drinking, which not only reduces the alcohol content, but also makes those fresh water drinkable.

Like fresh water, rum is an essential strategic material on a sailing ship that goes out to sea, and it is indispensable to use rations on board!

In this cabin, Ye Tian did not find a wooden barrel containing rum, but there must be a lot of rum stored in this ancient sailing ship.

Sure enough, in the next cabin, Ye Tian immediately saw dozens of oak barrels for rum, and some for red wine.

It is a pity that these sealed oak barrels containing rum and red wine have already been fractured under the terrifying pressure of 300 meters of water depth, and all the fine wine in them has been melted into the vast ocean.

You know, every time you drop 10 meters in seawater, the pressure will increase by one atmosphere. You can imagine the pressure at a depth of 300 meters on the seabed. How can a sealed oak barrel withstand it?

Looking at the cracked oak barrels, as well as the glass shards of high-end rum and red wine bottles in several boxes, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel deeply sorry.

These fine wines with a history of hundreds of years would be considered a fortune if they were preserved, but it is a pity that there are only some cracked wine barrels and glass fragments left!

After seeing through the cabin filled with wine, Ye Tian's eyes immediately moved down to the cabin below.

This is a cabin located on the bottom deck, which is also a cargo hold, with a small volume, the door is closed, and there are more than 20 wooden boxes inside.

Unlike the cargo holds in the upper decks, this place is not messy, many wooden crates are stacked neatly, everything is in order, very orderly!

Obviously, the pirates did not break into this deck, nor did they break into this cargo hold.

Perhaps just as the victorious pirates were preparing to attack here aggressively, the St. Anthony had already begun to sink, and the situation was at stake!

Due to the situation, the pirates had to evacuate the Spanish warship!

Moreover, the boxes here were probably fixed with cables at that time, and they did not overturn due to the sinking of the battleship, and still maintained their original appearance!

When the perspective gaze arrived here, a dazzling yellow and orange light suddenly flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, which was so dazzling that it made people dizzy!

This sudden color change made Ye Tian almost exclaim.

Fortunately, he has been tested for a long time, and he has a certain amount of mental preparation, so he didn't behave strangely, and didn't attract the attention of the other three people in the cockpit.

In the next instant, ecstasy flashed across his eyes.

From the dazzling light shining from those boxes, he immediately came to a conclusion.

These boxes contain a large number of antique works of art, at least four hundred years old, and more than five hundred years old can be found everywhere!

As for what these antiques were, he almost didn't even need to think about them, he already knew them all.

There must be a lot of gold and silver jewelry, especially gold and precious stones, because these things were the favorites of the Spanish colonists, there is no doubt about it!

My previous judgment was correct. The San Antonio was not just an ocean-going warship, but a Spanish treasure ship that everyone wanted to meet!

The large amounts of gold and silver treasures plundered by Spanish colonists in Latin America were continuously transported back to Spain through treasure ships like the San Antonio, accumulating a large amount of wealth for that small southern European country!

This also explains why the pirates took great risks to attack this heavily armed Spanish warship, all because of these tempting gold and silver treasures!

After secretly adjusting his breathing, Ye Tian's eyes continued to move forward, directly penetrating through the wooden boards of those boxes, and he could clearly see the situation inside.

really! These chests are full of gold and silver treasures, the amount is quite amazing!

Among them are hundreds of thousands of gold coins, holy statues made of gold, a large number of gold bricks of different specifications, many dazzling gemstones, and crystal clear diamonds!

Most of those gold coins are ordinary gold coins, and each one is golden and shining with a charming light, as if it was just thrown into the sea, it is brand new.

Among these huge number of gold coins, the shadows of Spanish royal figure-eight escudos in the 16th century and several other rare gold coins can occasionally be found. The overall value is inestimable!

There are also a lot of golden icons, including religious figures, Spanish royal celebrities, and some sacred boxes, reliquaries, altars, communion cups and other objects, all of which are of great value!

There are a variety of gemstones, including topaz, carnelian, and the top Colombian emeralds, as well as more than a dozen diamonds, each of which is not small, dazzling and fascinating!

Even Ye Tian, ​​who has already been promoted to a billionaire, can't help but feel dazzled and excited when he sees the shining gold and silver treasures in front of him!

"hiss--!"

After quickly scanning the entire cabin, Ye Tian immediately took a deep breath.

According to his rough estimate, the overall value of the gold and silver treasures found in this cabin alone has easily exceeded 100 million US dollars, or even more.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a major discovery, and it is a huge fortune that fell from the sky.

More importantly, this huge amount of wealth belongs only to him and the Fearless Exploration Company, and has nothing to do with Raytheon Security Company.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately secretly cheered excitedly

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he might have jumped up and celebrated with a punch.

Although he was very excited, there was nothing unusual on his face, and his expression remained the same!

After scanning the many gold and silver treasures in the cabin again, and secretly calming down his emotions, Ye Tiantian reluctantly moved his eyes away from these charming treasures, and looked at another cabin next to him.
