Treasure Hunt all over the World

"Steven, what's in this box? It made you so careful!"

Seeing Ye Tian coming over with a box in his arms, Mathis immediately asked curiously.

"It's a small marble sculpture. The theme of the sculpture is Poseidon, the god of the sea holding a trident. The whole sculpture is very exquisite and vivid!

When I was exploring the captain’s lounge just now, I found it in a cabinet. Because it is a marble sculpture, it is well preserved and looks pretty good, so I brought it here.”

Ye Tian smiled and explained a few words, and then put the box in his hand on the decompression stand, acting very cautiously.

"Looks pretty good? How can you give such a high rating! Then this marble sculpture must be very good, even priceless!"

Matisse exclaimed, and his eyes suddenly became brighter.

He has great trust in Ye Tian's vision, and it is absolutely impossible to miss him. This has been proven countless times, and it is close to the truth, beyond doubt!

Immediately after Mattis, Johnny's voice came through the earphones.

"Steven, can you tell us something about it? This is the work of that master sculptor. We really don't know much about the master sculptors before the eighteenth century!"

"No problem! I can tell you about this sculpture. According to my identification, it is a sculpture by Giovanni Bernini, a famous Italian Baroque artist in the 17th century!

Bernini is the most outstanding Baroque art sculptor and an extremely outstanding architectural design master. He is known as the greatest art master of the seventeenth century and has created many classic works!

In addition, he was a painter, draftsman, stage designer, fireworks maker, and funeral designer,

In almost every field he has touched, he has achieved excellence.

I never thought that Bernini's sculptures could be found on the Malaga Princesse, and they were works at the peak of his artistic career around 166o. This is really a huge surprise! "

Ye Tian explained the situation of the Sea God Poseidon sculpture, his tone and expression were very excited.

While explaining, he kept staring at the box on the decompression stop table, his eyes were so hot that he couldn't bear to move away.

As soon as the voice on his side fell, there was a sound of exclamation in the earphones.

"My God! It's actually a sculpture by Bernini. Even if we are idiots about antiques, we still know this master artist! He is a famous figure in the history of art! Who doesn't know?"

"That's right! We not only know his name, but also his famous representative works, such as the group sculpture 'Apollo and Daphna', the architectural design work 'The Colonnade of St. Peter's Basilica' and so on.

These are all top-level works of art, each of which is priceless, something that can be met but not sought after! Since this sea god Poseidon is Bernini's peak work, it must be the top art work! Extremely rare! "

"Steven, can you tell everyone about the market value of this sculpture? I think everyone wants to know the answer! It must be worth a lot, right?"

Raymond asked impatiently, his tone full of expectation.

The rest of the people were the same, they all wanted to know the value of this sculpture, and they all echoed their voices.

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately chuckled, and then gave the answer.

"It seems that everyone knows something about Bernini, so it's not a secret. Based on the current market conditions of antique art and the situation of this sculpture itself, my valuation is about 12 million US dollars.

If you use the media to make a good publicity and hype, dig out the story behind this sculpture, and then send it to a top auction, even if it is sold for a sky-high price of more than 2 million US dollars, it is possible! "

Before he finished speaking, there was a frantic exclamation in the earphones.

"2 million dollars? Did I hear it right? It's just a small sculpture. Even if it came from Bernini, the price is too exaggerated. It's simply unbelievable!"

"My God! This is really a huge surprise. I didn't expect that the Malaga Princess is not only full of gold and silver treasures, but also has such a top-level artwork. It's really a big profit!"

"Hahaha, guys, you heard me right, it's 2,000,000 US dollars! This is the value of a top art work, and it's definitely not comparable to those gold and silver treasures!

It is a pity that this is only a small sculpture, and the price can only reach this level at most. If it is a large sculpture or group sculpture, it is normal to be worth more than 100 million US dollars!

Of course, it is impossible for large-scale sculptures or group sculptures to appear on the sunken ship, and it is also very difficult to salvage. To be honest, it is a fluke to find this Poseidon, the god of the sea! "

Ye Tian laughed and said, very proud.

Hearing these words, there was another exclamation in the earphones!

It was not until two or three minutes later that everyone calmed down, and the exclamation and admiration in the earphones finally disappeared.

During this period, Ye Tian used the auxiliary equipment on the decompression stop to fix the box containing the Poseidon sculpture, and prepared to use the decompression stop to bring it to the surface of the sea.

After confirming that the box was fixed and would not slip into the sea, Ye Tian reminded Raymond and the others who were at the middle depth.

"Guys, I put the box with the sculpture on the decompression stop, be careful when you change cylinders and battery packs later, don't crush the box!

You'd better suppress your exuberant curiosity, don't open the box to appreciate it on the bottom of the sea, when we finish exploring and return to the yacht, there is plenty of time to appreciate it, don't worry! "

"Okay! Steven, we got it!"

"Okay! It seems that I have to suffer for a while, and I can see that top-level artwork later."

There were several responses from the earphones, and everyone was very excited.

After talking about the sculpture, Ye Tian and Mathis began to replace the gas cylinders they were carrying, and replace the battery packs for the two diving thrusters.

It didn't take long for them to complete the replacement, and then left the decompression stop one after another, and swam to the nearby treasure ship Princess Malaga again.

After they swam out about five meters, the decompression stop platform began to rise slowly, preparing to return to the middle water depth.

There, Raymond and Johnny are waiting, also ready to replace the gas cylinder and battery pack.

Soon, Ye Tian and Mathis swam above the main deck of the Malaga Princess.

The upper two decks of the ship building have been explored. The target of this exploration is the ship floor deck, which is also the largest area of ​​the entire ship building.

After exploring here, it's time to enter the cabin below the main deck, and that's the real highlight!

Same as before, Ye Tian and the others left their diving propellers on the main deck, found a place to tie them up, and then swam to the ship building together.

"Matisse, the floor deck of the ship is relatively large, and the interior space of each cabin is sufficient. Let's explore together, so that it is convenient to take care of each other!"

While swimming forward, Ye Tian said through the earphone.

"No problem, Steven, even if you don't say it, I'm going to make this suggestion. Compared with the upper two decks, the attack on the first deck is more violent, and the situation inside the cabin is more complicated!

Coupled with the relatively large area of ​​these cabins, they are ideal hiding places and safe havens for many marine benthos. Who knows if there are any marine killers hidden inside, it is better to be careful! "

Mattis nodded, agreeing with the arrangement.

While talking, the two had already swam to the door of a cabin on the left side of the ship's floor deck.

Pausing for a while before approaching the hatch, Ye Tian immediately stretched out his hand and opened the hatch, swung his legs lightly and swam in first.

Immediately afterwards, Matisse also followed in, and the distance between the two was not far, which was convenient for taking care of each other.

As Mattis said before, the attack here is more violent than the upper two decks of the ship!

On the left side of the bulkhead near the sea, there are five or six holes made by solid shells. The large ones are fifty or sixty centimeters in diameter, and the small ones are more than ten to twenty centimeters. It is shocking!

In addition to these holes, there are also cracks all over the bulkhead, like spider webs, which make people a little worried that the bulkhead will fall apart immediately!

The situation in the cabin was also very tragic. Many things were broken by the solid shells that penetrated the bulkhead, and there were holes and cracks everywhere, as well as traces of burning!

There are two gun positions in this cabin. Because the sailboat sank to the right, the artillery on the two gun positions all left their positions and slid to the right side of the cabin.

Here, Ye Tian saw the corpse for the first time. Of course, this was the first time he saw the corpse on the Malaga Princess!

It was the corpse of a crew member, who was crushed under a 12-pound cannon. The death was quite miserable, with bones! It looks a little creepy!

In addition, there are more than a dozen wooden crates in this cabin, which look like ammunition boxes and gunpowder boxes, all of which have slid to the right side of the cabin and are piled up in a mess.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian saw the situation in this cabin exactly, and quickly made a judgment.

There is no value for exploration, it is not worth wasting time here, you can go to the next cabin.

Just in case, before making a decision, he also secretly turned on the perspective to see through the entire cabin, so as not to miss any valuable treasures!

It's a pity that there are many things shining red and orange in his eyes, but they are of little value!

Even those two 12-pound cannons are worth a little money, but compared with the cost of salvaging them out of the sea and shipping them back to the United States, they are not worth mentioning! Don't be so anxious! ...
