Research Vessel, deck.
Ye Yuan was still thinking about why that offshore whirlpool had appeared.
A bold speculation suddenly surfaced in his mind.
What if the black hole beneath the sunken ship had originally been a vacuum?
When the wreckage was damaged and seawater suddenly poured into that black hole in huge quantities, it could have formed a sea whirlpool.
But Ye Yuan quickly dismissed that speculation himself.
Never mind the size of the black hole; simply having a vacuum black hole on the seafloor was completely impossible.
After all, even when that wreck had been intact, it could not have prevented seawater from flowing into the hole.
Much less that heavily corroded wreck; it was even less capable of keeping seawater out.
Furthermore, if a vacuum cave truly existed on the seafloor, there was one prerequisite.
It had to have formed after the ship had sunk there.
Otherwise, if the cave had existed first and the ship had sunk afterward, how could that black hole have become a vacuum?
None of this made sense.
Ye Yuan had only just entertained the thought before dismissing it himself.
He had thought he was merely going down there to make an unexpected fortune, but he had never expected things to turn out like this.
He wondered whether Xu Hang would be implicated because of this.

Xu Hang did not intend to report truthfully that Ye Yuan had discovered the formation of the sea whirlpool in advance.
Then what was his purpose in doing this?
Was Ye Yuan really that important to him?
Ye Yuan had considered before whether the Xu Family would suspect him after he gave advance
