Chapter 1876: The Secret Passage Under the Stone Slab
As Ye Tian guessed, the granite strip that was lifted was all ground, a gray-black soil mixed with a lot of sand and gravel, not a secret passage that led to the depths of the ground.
Seeing this result, everyone at the scene couldn't help but feel disappointed, like pouring a basin of cold water on their heads, and their mood immediately fell.
Unlike everyone's reaction, Ye Tian did not have a look of disappointment on his face, he was carefully inspecting the land under the granite strips, trying to find something.
After a moment, he reached out and grabbed a handful of dirt mixed with sand and gravel, and twisted it gently.
As the dirt slipped down his fingers and fell back to the ground, he suddenly said excitedly:
"It's not right, the dirt here is too dry, it lacks moisture, it seems to lack a bit of life, and if I'm not mistaken, there's probably a stone slab down there, separating the vapor from the ground.
As for what's underneath that slate, it's hard to say yet, but only by digging up the dirt and lifting the slate underneath can we find out, and hopefully it's a surprising discovery!"
Hearing Ye Tian's words, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
The look of disappointment that had just stayed on everyone's faces disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared, and was replaced by hope.
"So what are you waiting for? Steven, dig up here and see what's buried underneath it, if there's a treasure, it couldn't be better!"
Count Boge said excitedly, looking impatient.
Ye Tian looked at him, glanced at the crowd at the scene again, and then said with a smile:
"Then let's dig up here and see what we find, Jason, you go up there and get two sapper shovels, and bring the small drone down by the way, which should be useful later."
Peter, Derek, a few of you come over to help, let's move these granite bars next to them together to make room for work, so that these big guys don't get in the way!"
"Okay, Steven"
Everyone responded in unison, and then began to act separately and perform their duties.
Soon, more than twenty minutes had passed.
This elegantly decorated wine cellar, with the aroma of oak and the mellow taste of red wine, has a large pit about 1.5 meters deep and a hill-like mound.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others were standing on the edge of the big pit, watching the situation at the bottom of the pit, and everyone was excited.
As Ye Tian said, at the bottom of the pit in front of him, there was indeed a granite slab, about one meter two or three long and about one meter wide, very thick, lying quietly at the bottom of the pit.
"Steven, what's under that slab? Could it be a secret passage into the depths of the earth?"
The Bishop of Kent asked in a curious whisper, his eyes full of anticipation.
"It's very likely, you can see that the stone slab at the bottom of the pit is specially reinforced with granite and concrete, obviously deliberately, to support the stone slab above.
However, what exactly is under the stone slab at the bottom of the pit, we still need to open the stone slab and continue to explore, no matter what is hidden under that stone slab, it is close to us!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, looking like he was in his chest.
As he said this, he had used the safety buckle to tie the climbing rope to his waist, and the other end of the safety rope was tied to a granite bar that he had lifted earlier.
The granite strip weighed six or seven hundred kilograms, and it lay on the floor without moving, and it was perfect for tying a safety rope.
After tying the safety rope and confirming that there were no hidden dangers, Ye Tian went down to the bottom of the pit.
Standing at the bottom of the pit, he first observed the situation at the bottom of the pit, and then walked to the stone slab, held the edge of the stone slab with both hands, and slowly lifted the heavy stone slab with strength.
Almost as soon as he lifted the slate, a puff of foul, musty air suddenly rushed out from under the slate, filling the entire cellar in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, everyone was already wearing protective clothing and gas masks by this time, so they were not worried about any unexpected injuries.
And the air conditioning system in the cellar was always running, constantly changing the air, and the dirty air that rushed out of the depths of the underground was pumped out and discharged to the outside in a blink of an eye.
"Bang"
Ye Tian lifted the heavy stone slab completely and flipped it to the ground next to it, making a muffled sound.
In the original position of the stone slab, a one-meter-square hole suddenly appeared, which stretched downward and sloped downward, until it reached the darkness, and I don't know where it leads.
No surprise, the scene immediately exploded, and everyone cheered excitedly.
"Wow, there is indeed a secret passage here, I don't know where this secret passage leads, and what is hidden at the end of the secret passage, is it a treasure of the Knights Templar?"
"This secret passage is so secretive, if it weren't for Steven, we would never have found out, I'm sure there must be some great secret hidden in this secret passage, or a treasure that can shock the world!"
Hearing the constant cheers and discussions in the wine cellar, the French people in the corridor outside the wine cellar, everyone's heart was like being scratched by a cat, and they were extremely curious!
However, they could only crane their necks and look into the cellar, but they could not enter it, and the few armed security guards guarding the door of the cellar did not give them any chance at all.
Back in the cellar, back to the discovery site.
When the cheers fell slightly, Ye Tian, who was standing at the bottom of the pit, immediately said:
"Jason, give me the air detector, I'll check the air in this secret passage before I decide what to do next."
"Okay, Steven"
As he spoke, Jason took the air detector and reached out and handed it to Ye Tian, who was standing at the bottom of the pit.
Next, Ye Tian hung with a rope and put the air detector into the secret passage that was shrouded in darkness and had been closed for hundreds of years.
After two or three minutes, he picked up the air detector, began to check the detection data displayed on it, and then said aloud:
"The air in this secret passage is very dirty, closed for at least hundreds of years, and there is no ventilation system, and the depth of the secret passage is estimated to be a pure oxygen-free environment, and even a lot of toxic gases have accumulated.
If we want to enter this secret passage that leads to nowhere, we must completely replace the air inside, and then wear protective clothing, gas masks, and oxygen tanks to enter it.
Whether there are traps in the depths of the secret passage, I can't say now, at least there are no traps at the entrance in these few meters, I didn't detect a metal signal just now, and the entrance is quite safe"
Hearing this, the Bishop of Kent, who was standing on the floor of the cellar, immediately continued:
"In that case, how do we start exploring the depths of the Secret Passage, Steven, what do you have to do?"
Ye Tian looked at the cardinal who was full of expectations, and then said with a smile:
"Don't be impatient, Bishop of Kent, let's take it step by step, time is there, this secret passage has been opened, and what is hidden in this secret passage will never grow wings and fly, we will soon be able to see it.
Jason, you take a fan to replace the air in this secret passage, and after the air in the secret passage is replaced, then control the drone to fly into the secret passage to detect the situation in the depths of the secret passage."
"Okay, Steven"
Jason answered, and then took a fan changer and handed it to Ye Tian, who was standing at the bottom of the pit.
Immediately after, he took out a small drone and began to debug it.
Of course, this is not a Beetle drone, but a relatively ordinary commercial drone.
