Chapter 345: Everything Has a High Imitation

In October 1795, three teenagers traveled aboard an Oak Island, off the coast of Canada. www.biquge.info They noticed that an open field suddenly appeared in the large red oak forest facing the sea, and in the middle of the ground stood an ancient oak tree, and on the branches of the tree seemed to be hung the hoisting block of an ancient ship, and there was a shallow pit directly below. Judging by the signs, there may be pirate treasure buried here. Originally, Oak Island was a pirate haunt in the 17th century. There was a famous pirate named Kidd.

The three teenagers began to dig and found that the pit looked like a dry well, and that every three meters they came across an oak plank, but in the end it was fruitless. In 1803, another group of people continued to excavate, and when they dug to a depth of 27 meters, they found a stone slab engraved with a mysterious symbol, which was deciphered by experts, which means that 20 million pounds were buried 12 meters below it. The people were ecstatic, they dug while pumping water, and when they reached the bottom with a benchmark one night, they touched a hard object similar to a box at a depth of 30 meters. Immediately, everyone talked about the distribution of treasures. The next day, however, people were surprised to find that the water in the pit had reached a depth of 18 meters, and that hope was in vain.

In 1850, people made a strange discovery, at low tide, water continued to bubble up on the beach 152 meters east of the Qian Pit, like a sponge full of water being squeezed, and at the same time, a set of elaborate and complex water diversion systems leading to the Qian Pit, which turned the Qian Pit into a water storage pit.

So it was inferred that the pirates had dug the money pit very deep and then dug side shafts diagonally into the ground from the depths. The treasure may be buried at the end of the inclined shaft hundreds of meters away from the pit, but only 9 meters deep from the ground, allowing the pirates to confuse the diggers while they can easily dig up the treasure themselves.

In 1897, treasure hunters dug up a parchment scroll at a depth of 47 meters, on which were written two letters with quills, and some of them dug up iron plates, which led to the belief that the pirates had buried a great fortune.

In the 20th century, it was estimated to be worth $10 million, and in the 60s it was rumored to be more than $100 million. During the excavation of the pit, there was a legend that seven people had to die to uncover its secrets, and six people had already died trying to reach the bottom of the pit.

A consortium of Canadians and Americans is excavating the pit on an unprecedented scale, investing $10 million in a huge well in the center of the island, 20 stories deep, and 200 holes elsewhere, some as deep as 50 meters, which are close to rock formations.

The drill bit brought out metalwork, porcelain, cement and other materials from the ground. The mystery of the money pit is not far off, it may be as shocking as the tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt, or it may be a hole that has been dug at great expense.

"Go to Canada!"

Wu Tianyuan and his entourage flew to Canada and secretly lurked near the island, and sure enough, there was a company digging treasures with great fanfare. Wu Tianyuan smiled and left, but turned to another nameless island not far from Oak Island.

"Those fools, the so-called money pit is a smoke bomb left by the cunning Kidd!"

Wu Tianyuan learned the inside story of the year through the necklace, but in fact, he couldn't blame Kidd, he took great pains to hide the treasure in it at that time. However, he was suddenly recovered by the king, and he knew that there was no time to complete the whole project. You can only find a small island nearby to hide the treasure first.

If he can come back alive, he will continue to work, but he did not expect that once he is gone, part of the treasure will remain on this nameless island.

The pirate's ill-gotten gains like to scatter the hidden treasure, and this is the third Kidd treasure that Wu Tianyuan has found. It's right to think about it, pirates don't have a fixed place to live, and they can grab wherever they go. If you grab a lot of treasures, you will hide them on the spot, and you will come back to get them when you have the opportunity to do so, and as a result, you will be all over the world.

"It seems that the name of the money pit lives up to its name!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at more than a dozen bags of various gold and silver coins, there were always them, it seemed that it was really a money pit!

"And a few big boxes of jewelry, huh? What is it? ”

Wu Tianyuan suddenly found a small gold box in a treasure chest, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a small wooden cabinet with two angels on it!

"Oh, this can't be the Ark of the Covenant, right?"

Wu Tianyuan was a little surprised, although this time he came to hunt for treasure to find the ark of the covenant, because the necklace said that he had seen a similar wooden cabinet. But when I really saw the real thing, it was much smaller than the record.

"Surprise me, it's not really a Ark of the Covenant!"

Wu Tianyuan let out a sigh of relief and said regretfully: "It turned out to be the Ark of the Covenant imitated by the Pope in the 15th century, so I said that the treasure from 3,000 years ago would appear in Kidd's treasure like this?" ”

Because the name of the Ark of the Covenant is so large, the Holy See has copied the Ark of the Covenant for various purposes, and this is one of them. Although it is an imitation, it also has a lot of value. For example, the stone slabs stored inside, as well as some parchment rolls, are valuable historical materials.

"In exchange for famous paintings!"

Although the real ark of the covenant was not found, it was not in vain, Wu Tianyuan finished sorting out the valuable gold and silver coins and prepared to display them in the Western Pavilion.

There are only a few kinds of Western art, oil paintings, sculptures, gold and silverware, furniture. Since the opening of the art center, at least the Western museum has been exhibited to the public, and Liu Yiqian has also built a Long Art Museum, which has a lot of oil paintings. The Ancient Civilization Museum now only has Banqing treasures, and this one is the most difficult to find.

Wu Tianyuan plans to collect Western artworks through the Holy See within half a year, whether it is mythril or holy relics, and exchange them for oil paintings and sculptures. As for the ancient civilization museum, we can only wait for fate, prehistoric civilization is very mysterious and cannot be found.

Life is easy now, now rich and powerful, dozens of people go out to protect, and you can go anywhere in the world. Find a treasure at random, keep it in the museum, and put the rest up for auction for Ross to deal with.

Looking for Polar Bear and William, the two of them, one black and one white, are both masters of selling stolen goods. Especially gold, as much as you want!

Tianyuantang is a long-term business, and it is a chicken that can lay golden eggs, so it must be cultivated well. Treasure hunting is just a fun, Wu Tianyuan still has a plan, the sea is a real cornucopia. The mineral resources on land belong to them, and no country will let you dig them, but there is no such problem in the open sea, whoever finds it is who's whom, as long as there is technology to mine it.

Wu Tianyuan's biggest problem now is that the mining technology is not enough, and Bao Yunqi's side is mainly ocean-going transportation, and seabed exploration is not good. Not to mention Old Joe, it's okay to salvage some small things. Only the state has the ability and technology to mine deep sea deposits, which is a headache for him.

Take your time in this matter, and it's a big deal to cooperate with the state in the future, and it's not bad to share it as a shareholder. Wu Tianyuan is ready to work hard for a few years, wait for everything to get on the right track, retire at the age of thirty, buy an island and enjoy life! (To be continued.) )
