"pass"
Sean said excitedly, and stopped the handheld electric drill in time.
In the blink of an eye, a hole as thick as a thumb appeared on the wall.
Immediately afterwards, another employee slowly inserted the endoscope probe along the exploration hole and began to explore the situation behind the secret door.
As the probe entered, the situation behind the secret door immediately appeared on the big-screen TV in the living room.
Through the lens of many cameras at the scene, it appeared in front of countless audiences.
Behind the brick wall is a dark space, where you can't see anything.
With the help of the light from the endoscope probe, everyone can see.
The depth of this dark space is about 80 centimeters, and the outside is the original wall of the apartment building.
There are no edges visible up, down, left, or right, and the exact area is not yet known.
It was probably the entire wall and half of the ceiling, covering an area of about seventy or eighty square meters.
Seeing this scene, excited exclamations immediately sounded at the scene and in the live broadcast room.
"I'll go! There is really a secret room here. I wonder what treasures are hidden in it?"
"The area of this secret room seems to be very large, and there are probably a lot of things hidden there."
While there was a lot of discussion, everyone was full of expectations and looking forward to witnessing the miracle.
Looking at Xiao Ran again, he smiled proudly and then said:
"Rotate the probe and see if there are any traps around you."
"Be careful when rotating to avoid touching wires and other things. Those things may trigger possible traps."
"If there are no traps, first detect the depth of the secret room, and then find out the situation behind the secret door."
"If you make sure there are no traps or dangers behind the secret door, then you can tear down the wall."
After the words fell, Nick and the others immediately responded:
"Copy that, Sean."
Then, under Nick's control, the endoscope probe began to rotate slowly.
Everyone can see the pictures captured through the probe.
There are no traps inside the cave. There are dark spaces up and down, left and right, and it looks very safe.
After confirming this, the probe began to extend inward little by little, exploring step by step.
After a while, the probe reached the wall on the other side of the secret room.
On that wall, rows of metal slide rails were nailed, densely packed.
Those slide rails are made of stainless steel and are still intact after several or more years without any trace of rust.
When the light is turned on, it will also reflect a ray of light, adding some brightness to the dark space.
On each slide rail, there is a steel wire the thickness of a pen core, connecting the upper and lower parts, which is obviously used to control the slide rail.
And above that dark space, you can see the bottom edge of a picture frame.
As for the content of that painting, it is currently unknown.
This new discovery immediately detonated the scene.
"Oh my God! There is actually a painting hidden in this secret room. Is it possible that it is Fei Xin's work?"
"If this is the case, then this secret room is definitely an art treasure."
Everyone exclaimed, their eyes shining with excitement.
It was the same in the live broadcast room. All fans were excited about this new discovery.
People watching this live broadcast also exclaimed repeatedly.
On the street outside the apartment building, excited cheers rang out from those who stayed outside the building to watch the excitement.
Xiao Ran acted relatively calmly and continued to direct his employees to explore.
"It can basically be concluded that the depth of this secret room is about 80 centimeters, plus the 40 centimeters thick brick wall on the inside, the total adds up to exactly 120 centimeters."
"These spaces hidden by Alexey should all be transformed into secret rooms. This secret room looks relatively safe and there are no traps."
"Nick, retract the probe and explore the situation on the inside of this brick wall. Once we are completely sure that there are no traps, we will demolish the wall."
Following this order, Nick immediately retracted the probe to the inside of the secret door and continued to investigate.
Under his control, the endoscope probe that penetrated the secret room suddenly folded at 90 degrees, and then began to extend downward.
Next, wherever the endoscope probe went, the situation inside the secret door was gradually displayed on the big-screen TV.
As Xiao Ran expected, there were no traps on the inside of this secret door made of red bricks, so it was very safe.
This situation is perfectly normal and reasonable.
Alexei, who created this secret room and sealed the secret door, must have been in his eighties or nineties at the time.
He can seal the secret door with red bricks, which is already very good, but he has the ability to set up fatal traps.
More importantly, this secret room is likely to contain many of his father's paintings, as well as his own lifelong collection.
How could he be willing to set up fatal traps inside, putting those beloved things in danger of being destroyed at any time.
After confirming that there were no traps inside the secret door, Xiao Ran immediately nodded and said:
"Guys, you can retract the endoscope probe and get ready to tear down the wall!"
"This unknown treasure will be revealed to us soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nick withdrew the endoscope probe.
Immediately afterwards, they picked up the demolition equipment placed aside and began to demolish the wall.
As the harsh sound of the motor sounded, a cloud of dust immediately rose from the scene.
Fortunately, they were well prepared and used water mist and dust covers to control the dust so that it would not be scattered everywhere.
In just a moment, the two red bricks at the top of the secret door had been removed.
Xiao Ran immediately called a halt and stepped forward to check the situation.
Immediately afterwards, he took out two fluorescent lighting sticks, folded them in half, lit them, and threw them into the secret door.
After doing this, he signaled his employees to continue demolishing, while he stepped aside.
Before he could stand still, Spencer next to him asked impatiently:
"Sean, what's behind this secret door? What did you see?"
Xiao Ran turned to look at this guy, then smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Spencer, you will know the answer soon"
Hearing this, Spencer could only nod helplessly and continue to suffer and wait.
This apartment building no longer belongs to him, including everything here, and he has no say in it.
The result before him made him feel extremely bitter and heartbroken!
The demolition continues!
The red bricks on the secret door were removed piece by piece and placed aside.
Soon, fifteen minutes passed.
The secret door sealed by Alexey was finally opened again.
When the dust cleared, everyone saw it immediately.
Inside this secret door is a secret room about 80 centimeters deep.
The exact height and width of the top and left and right sides of the chamber are not yet known.
On the inner wall of the secret room, eight sets of slide rails are arranged in an orderly manner, all of which are nailed to the wall.
Each set of slide rails consists of two rails. There are four sets of slide rails from top to bottom, and two sets on the left and right.
At the end of each set of slide rails is an exquisite manual winch.
Installed on the inner wall of the chamber, about half a meter above the ground.
The edges of several picture frames can also be seen above and on the inside of the secret door, as well as on the left and right sides.
Those picture frames were tightly wrapped with moisture-proof tarpaulin, and the contents of the pictures were temporarily unclear.
It is obvious that the paintings are hung on the slide rails, connected to the slide rails, and can be moved.
Seeing this scene, everyone was so shocked that they froze on the spot.
After a while, everyone finally woke up.
Immediately afterwards, the scene immediately erupted into excited exclamations.
"Wow! This secret room is so cleverly designed. It's like a work of art. It's breathtaking!"
"There is no doubt that those slide rails must be filled with valuable antique artworks. Just turn the winch and all the antique artworks can be taken out."
"The walls and ceilings on the north side are obviously filled with this kind of slide rails. If these slide rails are covered with antique art, the number would be amazing."
Everyone exclaimed, everyone was excited. Even though this treasure has nothing to do with them.
It is exciting enough to witness the emergence of this treasure with your own eyes.
Amidst the exclamations, Xiao Ran came to the secret door again.
He looked at the situation inside the secret door, then smiled and said:
"Good job guys, I can see this treasure should be amazing."
"First clean the ground at the door of the secret room to prepare for the next step."
"receive"
Nick and the others nodded in response and immediately got busy.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran turned to look at Marvin who was aside.
"Marvin, let a small drone enter the secret room and fly over the entire secret room."
"Be careful and don't touch anything during the flight to avoid accidents."
"Pay special attention to things hanging on the slide rails to see if there are any traps."
Marvin immediately nodded and responded:
"Understood, Sean, leave it to me."
The next moment, he immediately took out a small drone that had been prepared.
After a brief debugging, the palm-sized small drone was placed in the secret room and further exploration began.
As the small drone flew in, the situation inside the secret room appeared on the large screen at the scene.
Everyone was shocked as they watched what happened before their eyes.
These guys are so thoughtful and well prepared, taking care of everything!
In this case, if they didn't do it deliberately, I don't think anyone would believe it!
While talking, Sam suddenly knocked on the door and walked into the living room to report the situation.
"Sean, Thomas from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, three curators from MOMA and the Guggenheim Museum are here together."
"In addition to them, there are also the general managers of the three major auction houses in New York, as well as the deputy mayor of New York and his party."
"They all have the same request. They all want to come upstairs and witness with their own eyes the excavation and cleaning process of this treasure."
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Invite them to come up, but each person can only bring one subordinate. No matter how many people there are, there won't be room in the living room."
"I believe that Thomas and his team's purpose is not just to witness the emergence of this treasure."
"Hahaha"
David and the others all laughed and nodded.
Sam also nodded, and then went downstairs with Mike.
