Six hundred and thirty-four, glittering gold
People who have never been to Antarctica will never know how harsh the climate of Antarctica is, especially the winds in Antarctica, which pose the greatest threat to humanity.
According to some authoritative statistics, there are at least 300 days a year when Antarctica blows winds of more than 8 or more.
There is a saying in the scientific expedition teams of various countries in Antarctica: the cold of Antarctica may not be able to freeze people to death, but the wind of Antarctica can kill!
Tang Ming and his entourage didn't go far before they encountered a gust of wind, and everyone was blown back and forth.
"Everyone hold each other's hands, don't let the wind blow away......" Tang Ming shouted a few words, feeling that his stomach was full of wind, and quickly closed his mouth.
When the others heard his words, they grabbed the hands of the others.
After walking like this for half an hour, the wind weakened.
"Uncle, let's rest for a while. Tang Xiaoyu held his knees and gasped and said.
"Okay, let's take a break and drink some water. Tang Ming said.
"Boss, here you go. Andy took out a bottle of water from his backpack and walked over to hand it to Tang Ming.
"Thank you. Tang Ming took it and took a sip.
After standing in place for a while, everyone was almost rested and continued on the road.
After a difficult trek of more than three hours, I finally reached the location of the underground passage.
There is an ice cave here, and the underground passage is in the ice cave, and when Owen and they were searching for the underground passage some time ago, a person fell into it, and then he found the underground passage.
To be precise, this is just a suspected underground passage, and as for whether it is a real underground passage, Owen and they don't know, because they didn't make it to the end.
However, Owen and the others found traces of human excavation in this suspected underground passage, which should have been left by the Nazis.
The diameter of the ice cave is not large, only about one meter, but the inside is very deep, and Owen and the others explored the depth of more than a hundred meters, and then they were blocked by an ice gate.
Luckily, the ice hole is tilted, otherwise the person who fell last time would have been doomed.
Tang Xiaoyu circled around the ice cave a few times, and asked suspiciously, "This is the entrance to the underground passage?"
"Such ice caves are too common in Antarctica, unless they know the exact location, otherwise who will notice this, and the area of Antarctica, which is more than 10 million square kilometers, but there are only a few thousand scientific expeditions, if it is not for an accident, it is difficult for Owen to find here. Tang Ming said.
"Oh. Tang Xiaoyu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Alva, Andy, and Owen had already fixed the rope, and Owen tied the rope and said to Tang Ming: "Boss, I'll go down first, and you will go down later." ”
"Okay. Tang Ming agreed.
Owen walked over to the ice hole, turned on the flashlight, and went down little by little.
"Owen, how's it going?" Tang Ming shouted.
"Boss, I'm fine, you guys come down. Owen shouted from inside the ice cave.
"Let's go down too. Tang Ming said that he wanted to go down, but was preempted by Andy.
Tang Ming was the third to go down, followed by Tang Xiaoyu and Shen Qiufeng, and then Alva and the other security personnel.
There were also a few security guards on the ground to avoid any surprises.
The road in the ice cave is very rough and very slippery, and it is easy to slide straight into it without a rope, the only good news is that the slope is not too big.
The further you go in, the larger the diameter of the ice cave becomes, and by the time you reach a few tens of meters, the diameter has exceeded five meters.
At the time of approaching a hundred, the slope becomes a step.
"The steps do look like they were carved by humans, and judging by the traces, the steps are old, not recent. Tang Ming speculated.
"Boss, it's only when we see these steps that we think this is the underground passage mentioned in the notebook. Owen said.
"You have a point. Tang Ming smiled, "Even if this is not an underground passage, it has something to do with the Nazis." ”
As they spoke, the end of the ice cave had arrived, and what stood in front of Tang Ming and them was a flashing ice gate six or seven meters high.
"This door is also made by hand, right?" Tang Xiaoyu patted the ice door and asked.
"It must be, otherwise there would be a door blocking here, and inside the door should be an underground passage, or something else hidden. Tang Ming said, "Take out the tools." ”
One of the security guards put down the box they were carrying, which contained a small generator, and another took out an electric drill from his bag.
Owen started the generator, connected the electric drill, and said, "Boss, you guys step back, I'm going to do it." ”
Tang Ming and the others took a few steps back, and Owen began to drill the ice gate.
When the buzz sounded, the ice slag flew in all directions.
After drilling for a while, the drill bit suddenly stopped, and it was no longer possible to move forward.
"What's the situation?" Tang Ming asked when he saw this scene.
"Boss, do you think you've got something?" Owen said, uncertain.
"Could it be that the stone is blocking the drill bit? Alva guessed.
"Uncle, will there be a real door behind this ice gate?" Tang Xiaoyu also guessed.
After listening to Tang Xiaoyu's words, everyone's eyes lit up, and they felt that his guess was very reasonable.
"It's useless for us to speculate, we need to peel off the ice outside to find out what it is. Tang Ming said.
"Yes. Owen agreed, and went back to work.
As more and more drill holes grew, the ice on the outside of the ice door fell off one after another, and finally revealed what was inside, it was indeed a door, and it was an iron door.
"It's really a door, I guessed right, hahaha......" Tang Xiaoyu laughed.
The others were also very happy, and the appearance of this door proved that they were in the right place.
"How did you get such a big iron gate?" asked Andy curiously.
"Who knows?" Tang Ming said, "But if you don't count the casualties, it's easy to bring in an iron door, okay, everyone come over to help, and clean up all the ice as soon as possible." ”
Everyone worked together and was busy for a long time, cleaning up all the ice on the iron gate, revealing the complete iron gate.
Tang Ming checked the iron door, but did not see the door lock, pushed the iron door again, and said, "Everyone come here, let's push the iron door open." ”
Everyone crowded in front of the iron gate and pushed it hard.
However, after pushing for a long time, the iron door did not move.
"What's going on? Is the door frozen?" said Andy.
"It should be, there is nothing to ignite now, let's push it again and see if we can push it. Tang Ming said.
Everyone rubbed their hands and used their strength to feed, and pushed it up again, this time the iron door creaked.
Tang Ming's spirit was shocked, and he shouted: "Everyone work hard, the door is going to open." ”
After a few more pushes, there was a clang, and the iron door was pushed open.
The door was pitch black, and everyone used flashlights to shine into it, and a burst of golden light almost blinded everyone's eyes.
