PS: The second more asks for votes

"Okay, Xiao Wang, get it out of the way!" Sun Dianying looked at the huge rock platform and ordered an officer beside him.
He knew that there must be an opening mechanism in this kind of place, but he was too lazy to find it, so he just exploded.
Immediately, a few combat sappers stepped up and poked dozens of holes in the huge platform with their pickaxes, then filled them with special silent explosives, and inserted electric detonators and wires. This explosive movement is very small, and in later generations it was mainly used for demolition of buildings in urban areas.
After only a few dozen muffled explosions, the massive rock platform had shattered into a pile of stones. Then the sappers swarmed up, drove forklifts and bulldozers, and began to clean up. When the rubble was cleared, a camouflaged secret door was revealed.
"Good guy, there are more than ten tons of stone platforms pressed on the secret door, no wonder the rebels in front of you didn't find it......" As soon as he saw this secret door, Sun Dianying smiled.
There is no need for him to order the following work, everyone is familiar with it, and soon there is a help expert to go up and tinker for a while, and the secret door is successfully opened. Then, a large group of people rushed in with electric lights, cameras and other tools.
It was a large basement with more than a dozen rooms, but there was nothing of value here, only some scriptures, classics, and other miscellaneous documents, such as house deeds, title deeds, account books, and so on.
Several historians and paleographers put on gloves and picked up a few strange-looking scrolls to look at. After a while, they reported to Sun Dianying: "Director, some of the Bayeux scriptures here are not ordinary papers, they are the leaves of the Bedoro tree. Tang Seng retrieved this kind of "Bayeux Sutra" back then, and the content of this scripture should be the classic book of Tianzhu Sect. Based on the characteristics and penmanship of the scriptures, we judge them to be about the thirteenth to fourteenth centuries......"
"Okay, put it all away, there's more to it here, keep looking for ......" Sun Dianying waved his hand. These Bayeux Sutras are rare treasures for historians, but this is not what he wants, and he is not a Tang monk. Besides, what Tang Seng wants is also Buddhist classics, why do you want the scriptures of Tianzhu Sect to go back?
A bunch of inverted experts circled the basement, and then the lewd old man pointed to a wall and said, "It's empty behind this......"
Soon, the wall was blasted by sappers with pickaxes and directional amplification; amp; It was broken open, revealing a downward corridor. If it was the original owner, it would definitely not be so troublesome, they must have a simple way to open it, but now Sun Dianying has no leisure to play the decryption game, and directly brute force it, is there any mechanism that can block the explosives?
Soon they saw something that could hold the explosives, and after walking through the short passage, they came to an underground hall with a heptagonal shape, and in addition to the passage, there were six heavy iron doors on the walls around it. Two huge cobras were carved into the iron door, and there were no deadbolts, latches, or anything else that prevented people from entering, but it just wouldn't open.
Sun Dianying tilted his head and instructed the people around him: "Do you think this iron gate can stop us? We don't only have explosives...... Plasma knives are waiting!"
A group of sappers ran in tow with a piece of equipment, and a sapper non-commissioned officer picked up a plasma knife and pressed a button. With two clicks, the cutter head erupted in a blue arc of electricity. At this time, everyone put on a full set of three-proof clothing, put on gas masks, and at the same time all kinds of testing instruments were turned on. The people of the Special Examination Committee are all veterans, and they know that there are often some anti-theft facilities in this kind of place, and they are not afraid of ordinary traps, but they are afraid of encountering some poisonous gas, germs and the like.
Ten minutes later, the iron gate was opened. One of the sappers couldn't help but say: "Damn, this thing is actually 100 millimeters thick, at least two tons in weight, these Indians are really willing." ”
"Everything here will be tested, and if there is no problem, all of them will be moved, and nothing will be left ......behind," an expert ordered, and a group of people surrounded the dismantled iron gate to inspect it. What radioactivity determination, biochemical determination, all came again. After confirming that there were no hazardous substances, they were transported by hydraulic carts.
After the iron door was removed, the secret room inside was revealed, and several inverted bucket experts used various instruments to probe several times, and also used stethoscopes to stick to the ground and the wall to knock and listen, and only after a while did they make a safe gesture to the back, and then carefully walked in with the cold light.
"Oh......" Soon people outside heard an exclamation from inside, then the lights went out, and there was the sound of things falling to the ground.
The people outside were shocked, and hurriedly rushed in with the lights.
"Oh...... it......" They let out a burst of exclamation as soon as they entered. But the lights didn't go out.
"What's wrong inside, is it dangerous?" Sun Dianying hurriedly shouted into the intercom.
"No...... No danger, Director, a lot...... That's a lot of gold......" There was a stammering sound over the intercom.
After Sun Dianying and the others entered, their reaction was no better than those people just now, even if Director Sun, who was used to seeing all kinds of gold and silver treasures, was in a trance at this moment.
I saw that this secret room of about 100 square meters was full of brilliant gold, and under the light of the lamp, it was emitting a dreamlike color, which was the magic of gold. The first two people who came in were as if they were petrified, standing there stupidly, their eyes were intoxicated, and their mouths were making inexplicable oooh sounds.
Sun Dianying deserved to be a leader, and he was the first to react, so he shouted: ", you haven't seen the world, why don't you look at your stupidity, it's really a shame for the people of our special examination committee." Don't sigh when you step on the horse, get up and work!"
As soon as Comrade Lao Sun put the leader's shelf, everyone came to their senses and hurriedly moved.
"Director Sun, I've already taken care of it over there, and I guarantee that they won't be able to finish the work for a week. I heard that this is the secret room......" Bai Mo's voice came in outside, he had just finished dealing with the affairs of the locals, and had just arrived at the scene at this time.
"Let the Bai charge d'affaires come in, your own people ......," Sun Dianying shouted outside.
"Director Sun, I heard that there is ...... here" Bai Mo walked in quickly with a smile, and as soon as he entered the door, he was immediately stupid. The expression was as if someone had stuffed a goose egg in his mouth, and his jaw was about to fall off.
"I ...... I ...... a big grass" After a while, Bai Mo came back to his senses and touched his sour chin. "Oh my God, so much gold, a whole room, how much must there be here?"
Dozens of staff members are squatting inside to test and sort out these things, they move into dozens of iron boxes, and the tested things are registered, and then put them into boxes and then affix seals.
Much of the chamber is gold, including a gold statue of Lord Vishnu wearing a diamond necklace, gold elephants and gold bricks, as well as countless bags of gold coins from around the world, and a ceremonial gown made of pure gold coconut shells encrusted with rubies and emeralds. There is also a solid gold throne adorned with hundreds of diamonds and precious stones, which is used as a pedestal for this statue of Lord Vishnu, which is more than five meters high. There are also several crowns of pure gold, all set with diamonds and other precious stones.
"It's not much, according to my experience, it's about sixty or seventy tons......" Sun Dianying smiled, and then changed his words: "But this is only one of the secret rooms......"
He patted his hand on an elephant made of gold: "This guy is about three tons up and down...... "This golden elephant is about the size of a calf." "It's a pity, this size can only be regarded as a small elephant, if it is really the size of an elephant......" Sun Dianying was a little unsatisfied.
"Director, if there is a real elephant as big, it will be at least a hundred tons, we can't move it......" Bai Mo also calmed down at this time.
"Can't move it? How can there be anything that can't be moved, the whole thing can't be moved, I won't cut it open? What tools do we have here?"
"Director, Chamber 2 has ......been opened," someone came to report.
"Chargé d'affaires Bai, let's go over and take a look at the ......" Lao Sun greeted Bai Mo like the owner of this place.
There is also a room full of treasures in the second secret room, but at this time, Bai Mo, who already has immunity, is not as out of shape as he was just now.
But after seeing the situation in the house, he couldn't help but say: ", how rich are these earth kings of India......
This secret room contains countless gold rings, bracelets, and lockets, many of which are set with precious stones. There are also dozens of pure gold chains more than five meters long, each inlaid with jewels. There is also a statue of a thousand-headed serpent made of pure gold, and a statue of a solid gold Roc bird, both of which are the mounts of Vishnu, and their eyes are set with gemstones the size of eggs. On a shelf in the middle of the chamber is a set of pure gold armor, which is known as the "Agni" to decorate the idol of the main deity.
This vault also houses a large collection of loose diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and other precious stones. The most impressive gemstones are huge diamonds, some of which are the size of a thumb and weigh at least 100 carats or more.
After two days of hard work, the Special Examination Committee opened all six secret rooms and swept away all the contents inside. After preliminary counting, the amount of treasure found in it was unbelievable. There are nearly 200,000 gold coins of all kinds, spanning centuries, including the Roman period, the Napoleonic era, the Mughal dynasty and the Dutch period when the Netherlands became the world's hegemon. Experts estimate that these coins were made from hundreds of years of trade. These gold coins and various gold bricks, gold bars, and gold products add up to more than 400 tons, and more than 2,000 tons of silver coins, silver ingots, silver ingots, and other silver products, as well as many gems and various ornaments and handicrafts that are difficult to estimate. Because there are so many gemstones, everyone is too lazy to count, and directly use the scale to weigh the statistics.
Experts believe that these priceless treasures are the result of the wealth accumulated by the temple over thousands of years, and that they have been donated to the gods by successive dynasties and kings.
At the summary meeting that night, Sun Dianying said with a red face: "Everyone has a share in the old rules of our special examination committee! He said that all participants could choose one kilogram of gold, two kilograms of silver and two gems as souvenirs, and the bonus was calculated as a ......."
"Oh, long live Mr. Wen!" the crowd shouted excitedly.
There are also political commissars and intelligence officers in the Special Examination Committee, and they all report that these soldiers and experts have no private hiding. Compared with gold and jewelry, the loyalty of subordinates is the most valuable, so Mr. Wen has always been very generous to these people. Well, it's all generous to others anyway, and these people don't want to spend these gold and silver jewelry.
"Chargé d'affaires Bai, you are here to assist us, you pick ...... first" Sun Dianying pointed to a large number of boxes very boldly.
"This ......" Bai Mo was dazzled by these countless treasures, and he only felt that his brain was blank. "I don't know much about this, why don't you help me see ......"
"Okay, I'll help you choose ......" Sun Dianying picked up a pure gold cobra statue and said with a smile: "This thing is good, the gems and gold are all ......" casually put it on the electronic scale next to it and weighed it, 871 grams. So I grabbed a few more gold rings and gold necklaces, and made up 1010 grams. "These 10 grams are the weight of the gemstone, and the ...... should be removed"
The next day, most of the Chinese archaeological team departed with the treasures, dozens of specially built trucks crushed by the heavy gold, silver and jewelry. Along the way, dozens of armored vehicles and armed off-road vehicles were nervously covering around.
At this moment, a detachment of heavy cruisers of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy came to the port of Thiruvananthapuram yesterday to replenish, and among them there was also a large ro-ro ship. The treasure convoy of the Special Examination Commission drove directly onto the ro-ro ship. Then the fleet set sail and headed for Chittagong, which was already Chinese territory.
The journey was uneventful, and two days later they arrived at Chittagong, where those who had stayed in Thiruvananthapuram returned. When the treasure convoy arrived in Hanjing by rail, the treasure was handed over to the relevant departments. In the same way, cultural relics of historical significance and research value are sent to museums and research institutes; jewelry, antiques, and works of art that are not counted as cultural relics and have no research value but have collectible value are put up for auction in the jewelry market; and the rest of the precious metals such as gold and silver are naturally included in the state treasury.
A few days later, Liu Yang from the Finance and Finance Federation came to report: "Mr. Wen, the things handed over by Sun Dianying this time are 417 tons of gold alone, with a total value of 3.8 billion Chinese yuan......
Wen Desi couldn't help but sigh: "Archaeology should be like Sun Dianying"
"It seems that the Indians were ambushed back then, and this treasure is much more than they announced...... Liu Yang laughs. By Indians, of course, he was referring to the government of India in the original plane.
Wen Deji smiled: "This is very normal, don't forget, Indians are known for corruption, and it is too normal to drift." I guess a lot of them have already gone into the pockets of bureaucrats at all levels......"
