What appeared in front of everyone was a palace-style underground building.
Looking through the gap in the stone door, everyone first saw two tall columns, and then a palace-style dome.
The two granite columns are both about 20 centimeters in diameter, firmly supporting the dome above.
Granite columns like this are actually not uncommon. The old Massachusetts State House not far away has the same columns, but they are thicker.
However, if a column of this size appears deep underground, in this underground secret room, that is another story!
In addition to the two columns and the dome, everyone can see.
Inside the stone gate is a platform in mid-air, and the inside of the platform is pitch black.
It is not yet known what secrets or treasures are hidden in this underground palace, which cannot be seen from this angle.
Even so, the situation inside Shimen was shocking enough.
In an instant, everyone was awake.
Immediately afterwards, several live broadcast rooms and the scene on the ground immediately became excited.
"I'll go! This is an underground palace, I can't believe it!"
"The British are so naive. What secrets or treasures do they hide here? It's so exciting!"
Compared to the many fans in the live broadcast room, Professor Baker and the others were even more excited, and they were all dancing.
The deputy mayor of Boston and others who were also present at the scene also exclaimed with excitement.
"Oh my God! Who would have thought that such a palace-like building is hidden deep underground in the Central Cemetery?"
"Judging from the condition of the dome alone, the size of this underground palace is no less than that of the old State Capitol Building."
"There is no doubt that this underground building will become another historical and cultural site in Boston!"
The deputy mayor of Boston said excitedly.
Before he finished speaking, Professor Baker suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Sean, this underground palace is so amazing. Its discovery will surely shock the United States."
"If possible, I hope you can remove all traps as soon as possible. We can't wait to inspect this underground palace."
Adrian and others standing aside all echoed, and they were all extremely excited.
Looking at Professor Samuel and others from Harvard, his eyes instantly turned red, full of envy and jealousy.
Before the words could be finished, Professor Samuel had already walked towards Professor Baker and the others.
There is no need to ask about his purpose. Of course, he wants to join the archaeological operation that is about to begin.
At this moment, Xiao Ran's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Gentlemen, don't worry, what you are about to see next will definitely be even more shocking."
"When I find out the situation in this underground palace, I will try to remove all the traps here."
"Until then, you can come down for inspection!"
While saying these words, he had completely pushed the stone door open.
As the stone door opened, a dark underground palace immediately appeared in front of everyone.
To be more precise, it is the upper part of a Georgian palace.
Inside this stone door is a platform of about three square meters, suspended in mid-air on the west wall of the palace.
There are two stone steps on both sides of the platform, extending downward close to the wall.
Looking in from outside the door, you can see it.
There seem to be many granite columns scattered in this underground palace, supporting the dome above.
As for the depth and bottom area of the palace, it is temporarily unknown.
There is no way to know what secrets or treasures are hidden in the palace, so we can only explore further.
Looking at this scene, everyone was shocked again and froze in place.
Xiao Ran also appropriately showed a shocked expression as he looked at the situation inside the stone gate.
Marvin and Cooper, who were standing behind them, looked even more stunned, their eyes almost flying out of their heads.
"Wow! It's so spectacular! It's incredible!"
With Elaine's exclamation, everyone was awakened.
The next moment, the scene and the live broadcast immediately exploded, and there were exclamations one after another.
As the high-definition close-up picture was shown on the big-screen TV, the media reporters guarding outside the cemetery also saw this scene using their telephoto lenses.
Not surprisingly, those guys were shocked too.
"Oh my god! Sean and the others seem to have discovered a magnificent underground palace!"
"It was a huge dome building, it looked a bit like the dome of the Old South Meeting House."
While exclaiming, these media reporters quickly sent out the pictures they took.
In the blink of an eye, these images were spread across the United States and even around the world through various media.
As the news and pictures spread, it quickly caused a huge stir.
Even the two parties, as well as the White House and the two houses of Congress, who are busy in the final battle, have all turned their attention here, to the palace deep underground.
At this time, Xiao Ran quickly woke up after performing a performance.
He quickly took a look at the situation inside the stone door, then squatted down and began to check the situation on the platform and steps.
In just a moment, he had discovered something, and then he smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, there are no dangerous and mysterious numbers on the platforms and steps inside the stone gate."
"According to my observation and speculation, this platform and the steps on both sides are very safe. There are no traps. You can enter and explore with confidence."
"According to common sense, there is no need to set up any traps here with the protection of the unstoppable corridor outside."
Before he finished speaking, he stood up.
Then he stepped out and walked into this underground palace that had been closed for more than two hundred years.
As he said, there are no traps on the platform inside the door and it is very safe.
Everything is peaceful!
However, the live broadcast room and the scene on the ground could not calm down.
As Xiao Ran walked into the stone gate, a more grand scene suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
This is a circular underground palace with a huge area. Due to the limited coverage of the light from outside the stone door, the specific area cannot be estimated yet.
Within sight, everyone can see four straight granite pillars.
Except for the curved walls on both sides of the stone gate, the walls in other places could not be seen clearly for a while, and they were all shrouded in darkness.
But from the curvature of the wall, it can be inferred that this is a circular hall with a large area.
Going down the stairs on both sides of the platform is the bottom of the hall. The height of the platform from the bottom of the hall is three to four meters.
Standing on the platform and looking down, you can see it.
On the ground below the platform, there were many boxes stacked like a hill.
Due to the poor lighting conditions, it is temporarily impossible to see clearly the conditions of these boxes, they are very shadowy!
On the walls on both sides of the platform, there is a rusty wheel, which looks like the rudder of a ship.
Additionally, there are several iron wrenches built into the wall!
Obviously, these roulette wheels and wrenches are the operating devices that control this stone door and all traps.
If there really is a self-destruction device in this underground space, the control mechanism must be among it.
In addition to these, there is also a St. George flag pattern on the right wall of the platform.
There may also be such a pattern on the wall on the left side of the platform, but it is blocked by the opened stone door so that no one can see it for a while.
Looking at everything here, everyone is shocked.
Before everyone could react, Xiao Ran suddenly said:
"Marvin, Cooper, you can come in, it's relatively safe on the platform."
"But you still have to be more careful and pay attention to the numbers on the ground outside the stone gate. Don't make any mistakes."
Before they finished speaking, Marvin and Cooper nodded hurriedly and said:
"Understood, Sean, we will be careful."
Afterwards, the three guys walked into the underground palace one after another.
Also coming in at the same time were wires and bright lights.
As they entered, the underground palace was suddenly illuminated.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone saw clearly what was going on here.
This circular underground palace covers an area of nearly 200 square meters. There are eight granite columns inside, supporting the dome above.
Since there is a central cemetery on the ground without any buildings, the pressure on the dome is very small, so it is well preserved and has never been known.
At the bottom of the hall, along the circular wall, there are several arches that are as tall as a person.
Inside those arches, there seemed to be rooms or caves.
It is unclear whether it is used to house people or to store various supplies.
The most eye-catching thing in the hall is the large number of boxes placed on the ground.
In these boxes, there are long crates, many square boxes, and some very high-end looking treasure boxes.
All of these boxes were placed separately on the floor or stacked together. The number was quite astonishing.
In addition, there are many round wooden barrels placed in the corner of the hall.
Apart from these, there is nothing else.
Looking at these things under the platform, Marvin and Cooper were all stunned and dumbfounded!
Not only them, but everyone who saw this scene had the same expression.
"Oh my God! This discovery is so amazing, it will definitely cause a huge sensation."
"Xiao Ran, are you really sure that this is not the colonial treasure that the joint exploration team is looking for?"
The big dog owner asked excitedly.
Not only did he have such doubts, but so did everyone else.
Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
"To be honest, I'm not sure now. This might be the colonial treasure we are looking for!"
"The discovery of this underground palace and treasures was completely beyond my expectation. It was an unexpected surprise!"
Before he finished speaking, Professor Baker's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Sean, those crates in the hall below probably contain flintlock muskets."
"There may be a large amount of black powder in the barrels in the corner of the hall."
"You must be careful not to lead the wire to the gunpowder."
"The amount of gunpowder, once detonated, is enough to blow up this underground palace."
"This underground palace is too important and precious to allow any accident to happen!"
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"You are worrying too much, Professor Baker. I'm afraid those black powders have been scrapped long ago."
"It is located deep underground and is quite humid. In this environment, black powder cannot be stored for a long time."
"Even if it is wrapped with moisture-proof tarpaulin, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Coupled with the long period of more than two hundred years, how can bulk black powder still be effective?"
After hearing this, Professor Baker suddenly realized.
"That's true. I was so excited that I ignored common sense."
"I don't know what's in the other boxes. We really want to go down and take a look right away."
"Sean, please hurry up and clear all the traps. We can't wait!"
Before he finished speaking, Professor Adrian and others all echoed, all of them impatient.
"Hahaha"
Xiao Ran smiled proudly, and then said:
"Okay, gentlemen, I'm going to take a look at the control mechanism on the wall to see if I can turn off all the traps."
With that said, he stepped off the platform.
Go down the stairs on the right for two steps and look at the controls on the wall on the right!
Marvin and Cooper also took action and began arranging wires and lighting fixtures on the platforms and steps.
As the bright lights were placed one after another, the underground palace suddenly became brighter and more shocking!
