The salvage ship lowered the most advanced detection equipment to date and began exploring the seabed.
At the same time, more than twenty divers were on standby, ready to dive.
The simultaneous discovery of four shipwrecks this time held a very different significance.
First, it was necessary to determine whether these shipwrecks were all from the period when the Yuanming Garden was burned, or if some were from other periods.
The Coast Guard had only confirmed the presence of four shipwrecks on the seabed and did not know what was inside—whether they truly contained cultural relics.
This called for specialized detection equipment and professional divers to venture in.
The mood among the cultural relics industry bigwigs from Jinghai, who had accompanied the expedition, was exceptionally tense.
They were terrified of hearing that they had got it wrong, that the ships were empty and devoid of relics.
"Located the shipwreck."
"Approaching the shipwreck to investigate."
