About ten minutes later.
Xiao Ran and the others have arrived at the basement of the apartment building to understand the situation here.
The treasures found on various floors upstairs have been collected and can be transported away later.
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others coming in, Matthew and another guy immediately came up to them and started to introduce the situation with excitement.
"Sean, about twenty meters underground in this apartment building, we used deep ground-penetrating radar to detect a hidden underground space."
"Half of this underground space is directly under the apartment building, and the other half is directly under the back garden, and there is a tunnel leading to the ground."
"However, the tunnel leading to the ground suddenly stopped at a depth of more than seven meters underground. We speculate that it was artificially filled in, leaving only the second half!"
"In this underground space, there are more than a dozen square rooms, corridors, columns, etc., so I call it the underground palace..."
While introducing the situation, Matthew held an iPad and showed the relevant data and graphics just detected one by one.
For Xiao Ran, this discovery was definitely an unexpected surprise.
The night before, when he came here to explore alone, he did not see this palace deep underground.
He could only see through perspective to a depth of more than seven meters underground, and happened to find the first half of the tunnel that was buried, but he did not see the situation deeper underground.
By observing the first half of the tunnel that was buried and some things in the tunnel, he determined the time when the tunnel was built and the approximate time it was buried.
Then it is speculated that there may be some secrets hidden at the end of the tunnel.
And this is one of the reasons why he decided to buy this historical building and come here to explore the treasures.
The antique artworks and gold and silver treasures hidden on the ground floor of this apartment building were another reason why he bought this apartment building.
In fact, the value of the antique artworks and gold and silver treasures discovered earlier is enough to buy more than ten or twenty such apartment buildings!
The underground palace discovered now is an even bigger surprise!
Soon, Matthew had finished introducing the situation.
Xiao Ran immediately took the iPad and began to study the detected data and graphics.
The others looked at him expectantly, waiting for his conclusion.
After three or four minutes, Xiao Ran smiled and nodded and said:
"Yes, there is indeed a very secret underground space about twenty meters below our feet."
"Judging from the geological structure of this underground space, it seems that it is an underground cave formed innately. There was originally a passage leading to the ground."
"I don't know when this underground space was discovered by someone, and then it was transformed, and this secret underground space was built."
"The remodelers erected several stone pillars in this underground space to support the roof of the cave above. They probably also took other reinforcement measures."
"And we built some rooms of similar size on the ground inside to form this underground space."
"Considering that this was once an annex to the Bastille, we cannot rule out the possibility that this underground space is a secret dungeon."
"As for whether there is an amazing treasure hidden in this underground space, or a Napoleon treasure, it is still uncertain."
"ah!"
There was an exclamation of exclamation immediately at the scene, and everyone was shocked by his words.
People on the street outside, as well as countless viewers watching the live broadcast, were also shocked.
"Wow! There is actually a secret underground space that is so deeply hidden here. It's incredible!"
"Such a secret underground space is perfect for hiding treasures. The secret hidden inside may be the legendary Napoleon's treasure."
While everyone was talking about it, Carlin and Henry had already moved closer and couldn't wait to look at the detection data and graphics on the iPad.
It's a pity that they don't understand the meaning of those data and graphics at all.
In desperation, they could only ask Xiao Ran for advice.
"Sean, since the coordinates you mentioned before are related to Napoleon's treasure, it means that there is a high possibility that Napoleon's treasure is hidden here."
"But your subsequent analysis also makes some sense. This was once an annex of the Bastille. It is very possible to build a secret dungeon here."
"Even if this was once a dungeon, there must be some major secrets or treasures hidden inside, otherwise there would be no need to fill in the tunnels."
Henry said excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lawrence took up the topic.
"Sean, now that the depth and general distribution range of this underground space have been discovered, when do you plan to start excavation?"
"Such a secret space located deep underground must be of great historical and cultural research value. You must be careful when digging."
Xiao Ran did not respond immediately, but looked at the detection data on the iPad again.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and shook his head.
"Gentlemen, this underground space is too deep, and it is just under the apartment building and garden. Excavation must not be carried out rashly to avoid accidents."
"Another point is that the tunnel connecting this underground space to the ground has been artificially filled in. If you want to dig this tunnel that leads deep underground, the workload is not small."
"So I decided not to excavate this underground space immediately to ensure safety before thoroughly investigating the situation and formulating the most reasonable excavation plan."
After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and they were all surprised.
They didn't expect that Xiao Ran could be so rational and not act rashly when facing such an underground space that might contain huge surprises.
I'm afraid there are only a few people who can do this!
How many people can resist such temptation and not start digging immediately?
While surprised, some guys also had fearful looks in their eyes.
Among them were Carlin and Henry.
They were far more eager than Xiao Ran, and wanted to start digging immediately to find out.
Next, Xiao Ran directed Matthew and the others to use deep ground-penetrating radar to detect the basement again.
The data obtained this time is no different from the detection data obtained before.
Xiao Ran looked at the new data, and then took everyone out of the basement and went to the back garden.
After arriving in the back garden, he first observed the scene.
Then let his employees explore it again to get more detailed data.
While they were busy here, this amazing discovery spread rapidly throughout Paris and reached countless people.
Even the French president was paying attention to the situation here during the break between meetings.
When he learned that Xiao Ran had discovered this secret underground palace, and that Napoleon's treasure was probably hidden in this underground palace, he was immediately stunned.
Immediately afterwards, he asked his secretary to call the Minister of Culture.
Tell the Minister of Culture on the phone to pay close attention to Xiao Ran's every move.
In fact, many guys from the French Ministry of Culture are now staring at Xiao Ran and this historical building with their eyes wide open, not daring to relax for a moment.
Not only these French guys, but also the U.S. Ambassador to France and Cultural Counselor, as well as European and American governments, as well as countless experts and scholars.
All these people were staring at Xiao Ran, waiting for an even more amazing treasure to reappear in the world!
