Chapter 408: The Treasure Room

Chapter 408: The Treasure Room

Something underground? Yang Yiwei was directly stunned, what does this mean? But soon, Yang Yiwei reacted, could it be that there is a place similar to a treasure room under the Old Summer Palace? "At a depth of about 42 meters from the ground, there is a stone chamber of about 300 square meters, which stores a large amount of gold, jewelry, diamonds and many cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings." Konishi explained directly.

42 meters deep...... This depth is already very deep, at least modern industry rarely digs such a deep place, according to the height of the building, it is about equivalent to the height of 13 or 4 floors, and this is the site of the Old Summer Palace, almost no construction has been started here, and modern equipment does not have such a powerful scanning and detection structure as Konishi, it is impossible to find only a treasure room underground.

"Isn't there a passage?" Yang Yiwei suddenly remembered something, there was no passage in this stone room, how did the gold and the like be put in.

"Yes, but according to the scan, it should have been blown up directly by explosives, the whole passage is about 400 meters away from the stone chamber in a large hall, the entire passage is all at the bottom of the river, it should not cause any surface changes when it collapses, there are two human bones in the stone chamber." Xiaoxi gave an answer that Yang Yiwei couldn't imagine, but the passage was completely destroyed, which Yang Yiwei didn't expect at all, after all, the garden here was built for one hundred and fifty years, and it stands to reason that with the idea of the Celestial Empire of China at that time, it was impossible to build such a treasure room with an obvious back road.

However, since it appeared, it proves that it was indeed built at that time, and it must have been destroyed in the burning of the Old Summer Palace by the British and French forces, otherwise, according to history, no one dared to go there before that. Naturally, there is no such thing as destroying the treasure room. However, it is estimated that it is difficult to dig out this thing, and now this is a national 5A-level scenic spot, and only the state wants to do it, anyway, it is impossible for private individuals to take these things out.

"Can you figure out how many things there are?" Yang Yiwei was a little curious, if the 300-square-meter stone room is all piled up into gold, I am afraid that the number is definitely a terrifying number, the specific gravity density of gold is so high, and there is not much area of dozens of tons.

"The gold can be estimated to be about 85 tons of gold, and there is no way to estimate the value of other artifacts. According to my scans, many of the contents are probably famous missing artifacts in Chinese history, and if you look at the current market, they are priceless, and one of them is a jade seal if I scanned it correctly. It should be the jade seal that has been passed down for thousands of years in Chinese history. Konishi said quickly.

"Poof" Yang Yiwei was directly choked by his own saliva and glared. Lowered his voice and asked, "Are you sure?" "From Qin Shi Huang to Song. After the emperor of the Song Dynasty held the jade seal of the country and set himself on fire, it is said that there were people in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty who sold the jade seal of the country, but it was purchased by the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty at that time, and directly smoothed all the seals of the emperor of the Song Dynasty at that time, and rewarded his courtiers with private seals.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty army directly attacked the desert. chased and fought fiercely, in order to recover the jade seal of the country, and then it was gone, and since then. The jade seal of the country has disappeared in the long river of history, and now Xiaoxi actually said that there is a discovery in the stone room under the Old Summer Palace, and the Old Summer Palace was finally built in the Qing Dynasty, if there is really a jade seal in it, it means that the Qing Dynasty must have gotten it, but there is no record in history.

"I'm sure, because the material of this jade seal is not a mineral on the earth at all, it should be a mineral similar to Lantian jade that was dug up with the meteorite falling on the earth, but it is more beautiful than Lantian jade, and the elements of this mineral are not on the earth at all." Xiaoxi didn't think about it, so he gave Yang Yiwei an unexpected answer. Meteorite...... However, only in this way can it be explained that after the Heshi Bi was unearthed that year, the successive dynasties did not dig near the unearthed Heshi Bi, but there is only one piece in the world.

Therefore, the jade seal of the country is missing, and people don't know what Lu Dao and Shibi look like, only a legend remains, and now Xiaoxi's words undoubtedly prove this, it is not a mineral that is owned on the earth at all, and it is naturally impossible to dig it out. Although I don't know when it fell into the earth, this is not what Yang Yiwei wants to pay attention to, what Yang Yiwei wants to pay attention to is that this batch of cultural relics can't just let it sleep underground.

After all, according to Konishi, many of the cultural relics in it are Chinese treasures, not to mention those gold and the like, just say that the heirloom jade seal, if it is openly auctioned, I am afraid that a billion dollars will be out, that can be said to be something that has been inherited with Chinese history for thousands of years, and the historical significance is more important than anything, and it also represents China's imperial power.

However, Yang Yiwei can roughly guess what this batch of gold and cultural relics and jewelry is used for, it is estimated that this is the Qing Dynasty emperor left himself at that time, at that time the chaos of the Qing Dynasty began to appear, this batch of gold, cultural relics buried deep underground, obviously in order to turn the tables in the future, about 85 tons of gold...... In the Qing Dynasty, such a large amount of gold could only be collected by using the power of the state.

In the unequal treaties signed by the entire Qing Dynasty, it can almost be said that the Qing Dynasty was working for foreign countries in the last few decades, and it is estimated that it was at that time that the royal family of the Qing Dynasty had this thought, but the choice of this location is really not very good, your sister's you choose to be under the Old Summer Palace, at that time you will definitely not think that the Old Summer Palace was burned down, if the Old Summer Palace is not destroyed, if the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, how are you going to transport those gold and the like from that kind of garden?

Not to mention the artifacts, the 85 tons of gold alone is a lot of money, and for now, the gold is not the most important. Although Yang Yiwei is interested in those things, he also knows that those cultural relics have no possibility of being sold in his hands at all, besides, Yang Yiwei is actually not interested in cultural relics, so it is better to find a way to throw this thing to the country. In this place, only the state can dig up those things.

The jade seal of the country! Yang Yiwei shook his head, he didn't expect to see the light of day in his hands, this kind of thing that disappeared in history, everyone thought it had been destroyed, but they didn't expect it to be buried in the depths of the ground dozens of meters deep. "Can you make a treasure map? Of course. It doesn't have to be too realistic, and it has to be quite old, can you make it? Yang Yiwei asked, he still doesn't know if Lu Dao Xiaoxi has this ability.

"There's no need, just draw it on a piece of paper, and as for the origin, you can just explain it." Xiaoxi directly gave Yang Yiwei an answer, Yang Yiwei thought about it, and then patted his head, really. I've watched too many movies myself, and treasure maps and the like must be old, isn't this nonsense? Modern techniques, no matter what treasure map you get, you can print thousands of copies at once. Of course, the quality of the paper is not critical.

"Understood, yes. Is the scan done? Yang Yiwei asked.

"It's been scanned. All the data has already been modeled. However, these data can support up to 80% of the model, and the remaining 20% need to be used as a reference for the original architectural drawings and historical data. Konishi said quickly.

Yang Yiwei nodded and said, "Then we can go." "To tell the truth, this is the first time Yang Yiwei has come to the ruins of the Old Summer Palace, and the ruins here are still very shocking to Yang Yiwei, although he has experienced more than a hundred years of wind and rain. But the scars on its body never disappeared, which made Yang Yiwei firm up some thoughts in his heart.

"Let's go." Yang Yiwei gestured to the thunder behind him, and then changed direction and walked towards the outside of the Old Summer Palace. However, if you want to rebuild the Old Summer Palace, I'm afraid you can't get around it. That is the boss of Hengdian, 08 years when Hengdian once wanted to rebuild the Old Summer Palace, after which the funds and preliminary works have been approved, but after 09 years it was suspended again, the specific reason Yang Yiwei does not know the road, but the whole project stopped is indeed a fact, and now it is not clear whether Yang Yiwei has restarted.

However, this has no impact on Yang Yiwei, the country needs national approval, but in Madagascar, no one will care about Yang Yiwei's construction, even if Yang Yiwei makes the Pentagon and the White House, the US government can't say anything, as long as you have money in construction, there is no patent for this thing.

Leaving the Old Summer Palace, when he went back, Yang Yiwei directly stopped a taxi to go back, and in the taxi, Yang Yiwei called Shi Lao and discussed the time to go to the institute tomorrow. After discussing the time, Yang Yiwei asked: "Shi Lao, I don't know if you know the experts in ancient gardens?" "Although Shi Lao is a scientist and the other party is an archaeologist, these are the older generation, and maybe they know each other.

"An expert in ancient gardens? Xiao Yang, what do you want? Is it an archaeologist who studies architecture or ancient gardens? Shi Lao asked with some curiosity. Yang Yiwei then remembered that almost all of these two aspects can be regarded as experts in ancient gardens, but one is to study ancient gardens, and the other is to engage in architecture.

"Well, I need both, I'm going to build a garden in Madagascar, so I'm going to consult with an expert in this area." Yang Yiwei didn't say in detail.

"Well, I don't know anyone in this area, but I can introduce you to one, he is a professor in the Department of History of Tsinghua University, and he is also a researcher at the Palace Museum, there must be people who know this area." Shi Lao thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Then I'll thank Xie Shi first." Yang Yiwei immediately said happily.

"Mr. Yang, you are too polite, you are ready to invest in my research institute, I haven't said Xie Lu Xie yet, what is this. So, I'll leave you a call, and then I'll call over there, are you in Beijing today? If you are there, you can go and meet him. Shi Lao immediately spoke.

"Okay, that's it." Yang Yiwei agreed, wrote down the phone number reported by Shi Lao, and Yang Yiwei hung up the phone. About ten minutes later, Shi Lao called again and told Yang Yiwei that he had already told him. After thanking him again, Yang Yiwei hung up the phone and immediately called according to the phone left by Shi Lao just now.

The call was quickly answered, "Hello Professor Li. The phone was answered, and Yang Yiwei hurriedly spoke.

"Hello, hello, it's Mr. Yang." A hearty voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, that's the case, I have some things about ancient gardens that I want to refer to, but I don't know anyone in this area, so I don't know if Professor Li can help me introduce a few." Now that Shi Lao greeted the front, Yang Yiwei was not polite, but went straight to the point and said his purpose.

"Hehe, of course you can, so let's do it, you come to the ** community, I will live here, there are just a few old guys who live here like me, several of them are experts in ancient gardens, you just come over, I have just called them a few times, they happen to be at home, we have not seen each other for a long time, just meet and chat." Li Xiangyou laughed twice and reported a place name to Yang Yiwei.

"Alright, I'll come over now." Yang Yiwei nodded, gave the master a name, and asked the driver to turn directly to the place name.

This community is not far from Tsinghua University, it is estimated that you can enter Tsinghua University in more than ten minutes on foot, the taxi quickly stopped at the place reported by Li Xiangyou, got off the taxi, paid for the master, Yang Yiwei saw an old man waiting in front, his hair has been gray, about sixty years old, wearing a gray half-sleeve on his upper body, holding a fan in his hand.

Xiaoxi had already confirmed to Yang Yiwei that this old man was Li Xiangyou, who was talking to Yang Yiwei on the phone, and was also a professor in the Department of History of Tsinghua University. Yang Yiwei walked up to the old man and spoke respectfully.

"Ah, you are the investor mentioned in Old Man Shi's mouth?" Li Xiangyou looked at Yang Yiwei with some surprise, obviously he didn't expect Yang Yiwei to be so young, Yang Yiwei paused slightly, and he knew that Shi Lao probably didn't tell Li Xiangyou about his identity, otherwise, Li Xiangyou would not have this expression.

"It's me. Xie Lu Xie Li and Professor Li for their help. Yang Yiwei didn't say anything, but just opened his mouth to thank him again.

"No, no, I have been friends with that old guy for decades, but I didn't expect someone to really invest in his laboratory, hey, that's fine, otherwise watching this old guy's research that can be said to be a lifetime of research was stopped by the state, and he will definitely have a hard time for the rest of his life...... Hey, look at me, come on, come in. Li Xiangyou sighed for a few words before he suddenly remembered, he was still standing outside, and hurriedly turned sideways and smiled and let Yang Yiwei and them into the house.
