Chapter 983: The Entrance Found!
"Damn, how did you dig such a thing?" Seeing the newly dug up, Li Zhuangyan's mood could not be said to be good or bad, but he was a little stunned. γζΊ\|ζΈ‘\|search\|ηΆ\|classic\|ε°\|θͺͺ\|free\|fee\|δΈ\|upload\|small\|θͺͺγ
This thing is round, it looks like it is about a meter in diameter, it is a metal thing, but the shell has been corroded to the point that it will drop slag if you touch it with your hand.
"It's a mine, it looks like it should be a ...... from the Russo-Japanese War," a person who knew the goods next to him said, "Only, how can there be such a thing in this place?" Even if there were, it should be on the Liaodong Peninsula, after all, it was there when the war was fought back then. β
In the Russo-Japanese War, mines can be said to be brilliant.
On February 11, 1904, the Russian minelayer began to lay mines at the entrance of Port Arthur, but the rudder was hit by a mine and exploded, causing the ship to sink, and 120 of the ship's 200 crew members died.
Another ship was sent to investigate the accident and abandoned it due to a mine, which struck again two days later and sank.
On April 13, 1904, Vice Admiral Makanov, commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet, left Port Arthur on his flagship, and because the sea area they passed through had been mined by Japan, three mines exploded on the way, sinking in two minutes, killing a total of 635 officers and men, including Vice Admiral Makanov himself.
The mines laid by Russia also caused more losses for the Japanese fleet, and two brand-new Japanese battleships, the 12,320-ton "Yashima", struck two mines in the South China Sea of Laotetsu Mountain, and sank about six hours later. The 15,300-ton Hatsuse also triggered at least two mines to sink, wiping out a third of Japan's warship force in a single day, making it definitely the darkest day in the history of the Japanese Navy.
Not only that, on September 18, 1904, the cruiser "Pingyuan", which had been captured from the Qing Beiyang Fleet during the First Sino-Japanese War, was damaged by a mine during the attack on Lushunkou. On 30 November, the cruiser Jiyuan, also captured from the Qing Beiyang Fleet during the Sino-Japanese War, was damaged by a mine, and on 13 December, the 4,160-ton cruiser Takasago was also sunk in another minefield a few nautical miles south of Lushun.
It's just that how can there be mines here in Bencheng? And it's still such an old mine?
"That's a good thing!" Li Zhuang suddenly became happy.
It occurred to him that since the Russo-Japanese War mines had been dug here, it was likely that this place had once been a place for the Japanese army to display their old weapons.
In other words, it should not be far from the location of the treasure.
"Let's work hard, we may be almost on the look!" Li Zhuangyan said with some excitement, "Everyone is a little sharp, and we can't let go of any clues!" β
So everyone clamoured, and more than a dozen excavators drove around this area to continue digging, but they were also a little more careful, after all, no one knew what they would dig next time.
For example, if there is explosives in this mine, even after hundreds of years, who knows if it will explode suddenly?
Besides, what if there were World War II-era bombs?
These are all very dangerous things, and we have to guard against them.
"It's time to gather people, and they'll be able to dig up their target in no time." At this time, Lin Xiao said to Deputy Director Xue and Han Ya.
After passing the preliminary scanning, Lin Xiao found that the golden qi here was very prosperous, and there were obviously a lot of metal objects buried underground, thinking of the situations mentioned in the original puffer fish plan, Lin Xiao knew that Li Zhuangyan and they would definitely be able to find the target tonight.
"Understood." Deputy Director Xue nodded, and then began to dispatch troops.
Han Ya also made a few phone calls and went out, gathered the subordinates of the secret service, and prepared to launch a fierce attack to take down Li Zhuangyan and the others in one fell swoop.
"The big question now is, will the Jew Paul and the little devil Noda Fuji also appear here?" After Deputy Director Xue made arrangements, he said to them, "If they are not present, the convincing power may be much worse, and we can only check them through evidence from other aspects, and it is impossible to catch them all in one go." β
"That's a problem." Lin Xiao listened and nodded.
Deputy Director Xue is right, if the Jew Paul and the little devil Noda Fuji do not appear, it will cause some small trouble to their arrest work, and this espionage case will not make waves again.
"We have to tell the Jews and the little devils the news here." After thinking for a while, Lin Xiao said, "As long as they know the rumors, they don't worry that they won't take the bait, after all, they have been waiting for this day for a long time, and it is impossible to put the initiative in Li Yanyan's hands, otherwise, it is really impossible to say how many things they can win in the end." β
Lin Xiao knew very well that the cooperative relationship between Li Zhuang and the Jew Paul and the little devil Noda Fuji was actually very fragile.
Although Li Zhuangyan has gained a lot of benefits from the other party, it is impossible to say that Li Zhuangyan is willing to die for them.
Taking advantage of the mutual distrust between Li Zhuang and the Jew Paul and the little devil Noda Fuji can create an opportunity to kill them in one pot.
Fortunately, Deputy Director Xue understood Lin Xiao's proposal, and immediately began to make arrangements, and released the news through his inside line among Li Zhuangyan and others.
After receiving the news that Li Zhuangyan had found the key position, the Jew Paul and the little devil Noda Fuji were very active and quickly rushed to the scene.
"Lisan, Mr. Paul and I will come to see the progress of the project." The little devil Noda Fuji said solemnly to Li solemnly.
"Hehe, the two of you came just in time." Li solemnly tugged at the corners of his mouth, and muttered a few words in his heart, these grandsons must have placed eyeliner in his people, otherwise, how could they run over so quickly like a cat that smelled fishy?
However, Li Zhuangyan has nothing to do about this matter.
Although he didn't want the Jew Paul and the little devil Noda Fujiji to come over so quickly, since they had already come, he had to let go of some small calculations in his heart first.
After all, at this time, it is not appropriate to start infighting, and finding the treasure first is the most important thing.
"We seem to have found part of the wall of the treasure, now we need to determine the location of the gate, otherwise we will have to blow this section of the wall open by hard means." Li Zhuang gave the two of them a brief introduction to the current progress of the project, and then put forward his own suggestions.
"Absolutely not!" When the little devil Noda Fuji heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he shook his head again and again, "Inside the treasure, there are many mechanisms hidden, once triggered, those things inside will be wiped out, we can't take this risk, especially not to use explosives!" β
"If we didn't use explosives, we'd have to work a little harder, and God knows where this gate is?" Li asked solemnly.
"It doesn't matter, based on the walls found, we can make a preliminary judgment, and I believe that we will soon be able to find the location of the gate." For this, the little devil Noda Fuji is very confident.
Among the people Noda brought with him were two of their experts.
The two experts soon came to the vicinity of the excavated wall, inspected the bricks, and instructed the men to dig up the soil near the wall, expand the area, and then make a judgment based on the condition of the outer wall.
It took more than ten minutes for them to finally come to a conclusion.
"Based on the shape of the wall and the orientation, I think the entrance should be fifty meters north from here." An expert gave his opinion.
"I agree with that." Another expert also expressed support.
Noda looked at the location pointed out by the two experts, where there happened to be a private house, and couldn't help but frown.
This treasure digging operation, there are really a lot of troubles.
If it is in the wilderness, this matter is much simpler, but unfortunately, the development of Bincheng in the past few decades has been too fast, and there is no wilderness left at all, so when they do this, they naturally have a lot of scruples.
Anyway, now that things have come to this point, you have to keep going.
Speaking of which, it was rare to be able to determine the location of the outer walls and gates of the treasure so quickly.
So Noda Fuji and Li Zhuangyan discussed it for a while, and began to dig down from the newly determined target.
This time, six excavators were hit, and work started at the same time, quickly knocking down the top layer of the house, and then continuing to dig a large pit more than two meters deep.
After about half an hour, the excavator finally couldn't dig anymore.
"Dig into the concrete bunker!" Someone said excitedly.
"Quick, hurry up and clean up the scene!"
The two Japanese experts were also excited at this time, directing their subordinates on the sidelines, wanting to find the door to the treasure house as soon as possible.
"Looks like they're going to find the entrance soon, what are we going to do?" Deputy Director Xue looked at the images on the surveillance screen, turned his head and asked Han Yadao, "Do you continue to wait and see, or wait until they open the entrance and start working?" β
"It's better to get the stolen goods, anyway, the treasure is in it, and you can't run away." Han Ya glanced at Lin Xiao and said, "Besides, there may be some dangerous mechanisms in this treasure, since that's the case, why don't you let them explore the way ahead for us?" β
"Well, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind." Deputy Director Xue listened and nodded in agreement.
Lin Xiao had been paying attention to the changes over there, as if he hadn't heard them speak.
"Found the gate! Damn, it's still such a thick sliding iron door! This thing can even defend against nuclear bombs! After another ten minutes, Li Zhuangren's person finally touched the door of the treasure house and made an excited sound.
"Hey, they've found the entrance!" Lin Xiao was also a little excited at this time.
