Chapter 1501: 2 boxes of colonial gold coins

After a while, Matisse and Raymond swam back with underwater demolition tools, and Miller drove a five-seater Aurora submarine closer here.
"Matisse, Raymond, demolished from here, including the porthole of the captain's room, and opened an entrance with a length of 1.5 meters and a width of 1.5 meters, so that it is convenient for us to enter and exit, and to transport things!"
Ye Tian pointed his finger at the ship board outside of the captain and said that there was exactly the ideal location he had selected for demolition.
"Okay, Steven, leave it to us"
Matisse nodded in response, and then swam forward with Raymond, and began preparations for demolition.
They first fixed their bodies with steel nails, safety locks and safety ropes, and then dropped their feet on the ship to determine the point of borrowing.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them each held an underwater electric cutting machine, held it close to the ship board, and started cutting from both sides according to the area designated by Ye Tian.
As the underwater electric cutting machine began to rotate at high speed, the ship plates that were full of cracks outside of the captain and had been soaked in sea water for hundreds of years were easily cut open, like a hot knife cutting butter.
In only three to five minutes, Matisse and Raymond joined forces to cut a large hole measuring 1.5 meters in size, enough to allow Ye Tian and the others to come and go freely in diving suits and carrying oxygen cylinders.
Even if the technicians in heavy diving suits go into the sea for salvage operations later, they can freely enter and exit the sunken ship from this big hole without worrying about bumps and bumps.
After completing the demolition, Matisse and Raymond together lifted the cut board to one side, and then slid along the inclined hull and placed it on the sandy bottom of the sea.
The shipwreck at this time had already opened its gates, and it was time for Ye Tian and the others to go in and grab the treasure!
When Ye Tian didn't enter the captain's room immediately, he swam to the side, stepped aside, and said with a smile:
"Chandler, come and take a picture of the situation in the captain's room and keep it as a video material. After you finish shooting, we will enter the captain's room to explore the treasure.
We are going to enter the hidden treasure room next to it through the captain's room. If the door to the treasure room cannot be opened, we can only continue to demolish it.
At that time, the high-definition underwater cameras carried by a few of us will record the whole process of the destruction and the situation in the hidden treasure room."
"Okay, Steven, you guys think so carefully. The British don't even want to find the slightest flaw!"
Chandler responded and sent a few emotions. ,
Immediately afterwards, the seven aurora submarines came to the top of the big hole just opened and began to take pictures of the situation in the captain's room.
After filming, the small submarine flashed aside and gave way to the captain's room.
"Guys, let's go into the captain's room and see what treasures are in those two boxes. I have a very strong premonition. There will be surprises in them!"
With that said, Ye Tian swung his legs lightly, and through the one-meter-and-five-square hole, he swam into the captain's room first.
Immediately afterwards, Matisse and Raymond also swam in.
After entering the captain's room, the three of Ye Tian and the others did not immediately start exploring. Instead, they detached their submersible thrusters and found a place to hang them up.
Then they swam to the two well-preserved boxes covered with large pieces of coral, ready to open the two boxes to see what was inside.
When the underwater robots explored the sunken ship, they have already photographed all the conditions in the captain's room. Everyone knows it very well and there is no need to repeat the exploration!
Therefore, Ye Tian's mission on this trip is very clear, that is, to sweep away all the treasures in this sunken ship and collect them all.
After quickly scanning the situation of the two boxes in front of him, Ye Tian immediately issued instructions.
"Matisse, Raymond, shovel the coral from the box, then open the box to see what treasure is inside. Be careful when you act, don't let these two boxes fall apart!"
"Don't worry, Steven, we can grasp the importance, you just wait to witness the miracle!"
Matisse nodded in response, and then drew out his diving knife, stepped forward with Raymond, selected a box each, and began to peel off the coral from the box.
As they kept wielding the sharp diving knife in their hands, the corals of various colors that had grown over hundreds of years were peeled off and scattered in the sea.
Soon, the corals of various colors attached to the two teak boxes were almost cleaned up, revealing the boxes underneath.
Although the tops of the two boxes were still spotty and dull, Ye Tian still recognized the origin of the two boxes at a glance.
"These are two teak boxes. Teak is mainly distributed in Central America and the Caribbean. It is a kind of excellent wood. It has strong water and fire resistance and can resist termites and sea worms in different seas.
No wonder these two boxes can be saved till now! And the manufacturing process of these two boxes has a very obvious Latin American colonial style, which should come from Spanish colonies in Latin America.
It is conceivable that the British ransacked the Spanish treasure ship at sea and prepared to return to the UK with the looted gold and silver treasures, but they were sunk at the door of their house. It was really unlucky"
This was a rhetoric that Ye Tian had already thought of, and it was enough to silence the British.
Hearing this, both Matisse and Raymond nodded lightly, agreeing with Ye Tian's judgment.
In the cockpit of the submarine, Chandler and other live crew members also heard what Ye Tian said and recorded them.
While talking, the corals on the two teak boxes have been roughly cleaned up.
"Matisse, Raymond, cut these two locks, open the box, and the time to witness the miracle has arrived!"
Ye Tian pointed to the two boxes and said, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.
In a blink of an eye, the two rusty padlocks were cut off by Matisse and they fell on the ship's board.
Immediately afterwards, Matisse and the others opened the two teak boxes, and the treasure in the box was immediately presented to everyone.
As soon as the two teak boxes were opened, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed out, and both of them were a little dizzy at shaking Ye Tian.
"Gosh! This box is full of gold coins, the amount is amazing!"
"It's the same on my side, a whole box of gold coins, here are escudos, there are rials, and there is a large gold coin that I don't know, with Spanish written on it!"
The exclamations of Matisse and Raymond came one after another, almost in no particular order, and the two guys were already dancing with excitement.
Ye Tian's face also showed ecstasy at the right time, with a sense of true affection and performance.
Miller and Chandler in the two small submarines outside also cheered at this time, and everyone was very excited.
When the cheers fell and everyone's mood stabilized, Ye Tian reached out and picked up a small gold coin from the box in front of him, pretended to appreciate it, and commented.
"This is a Spanish eight-character gold coin, worth the equivalent of half an Escudo gold coin, which was minted by the Spanish mint in Mexico City. The specific year of the casting is around 1638.
The ‘M’ on both sides of the coat of arms on the front of the gold coin is the logo of the Mexican Mint, and the capital letter ‘R’ in the center on the back is the signature of the gold surveyor who supervised the production of the gold coin.
In Central America and the Caribbean, this eight-character gold coin was once widely circulated. Today, this colonial gold coin has become an antique and has a certain collection value.
In addition to this figure eight gold coin, there are also Escudo gold coins, Pistor gold coins, rials gold coins, etc., all of which come from Spanish and Latin American colonies.
Seeing these gold coins, I am more certain of the previous inferences. This British warship must have looted the Spanish treasure ship~EbookFREE.me~ so there are so many Spanish colonial gold coins!
This Galen ship may be a British warship, or a British armed privateer, or the vehicle of a famous pirate in the British Isles. It is not difficult to understand its identity!
In the seas of the 17th century, these armed Galen ships from the British army or civilians were the greatest threat to the Spanish treasure fleet, far more dangerous than those famous pirates! "
"Wow! This is great! With these Spanish colonial gold coins as evidence, I believe they can stop the English guys speechless. They are the real robbers. Are you embarrassed to call and catch the thief!"
Matisse said jokingly, his tone quite excited.
As soon as his voice fell, Raymond next to him said:
"Steven, what is this big gold coin called? I have never seen such a large Spanish colonial gold coin before, one that can hold up to six or seven escudos!"
With that said, this guy took out a big gold coin from the box and shook it to Ye Tian and the others!
