At the request of Jin Lao and others, Xiao Ran asked the technicians to send high-definition photos of the broken monument to the live broadcast room for many domestic appraisal experts and scholars to study.
He himself came to the edge of the pit and looked at the bottom of the pit.
At this time, the three employees staying at the bottom of the pit had completed their second exploration. No metal objects were found in the excavated secret tunnel, which seemed to be quite safe.
Xiao Ran naturally knew whether there was any danger in this secret passage.
He pretended to take a serious look at the situation at the bottom of the pit, then nodded and said:
"Guys, since we are sure there are no traps in this secret passage, let's get ready to break it!"
"But this secret passage has been closed for seventy or eighty years, and there may be a lot of dirty air or even poisonous gas accumulated in it."
"For your own safety, you must all wear gas masks and be careful when opening secret passages."
Hearing this, the three guys at the bottom of the pit nodded and said:
"Understood, boss, we will be careful, you don't have to worry"
Xiao Ran nodded, and then looked at the other employees at the edge of the pit.
"As a precaution, all workers working at the edge of the pit must wear gas masks."
"The rest of the people put on masks and stood upwind."
"Anthony, send someone to tell the onlookers and media reporters and ask them to move upwind."
As the order came out, everyone took action.
Xiao Ran did the same. He took Yi Lian and Fang Yufei and they all put on masks for protection.
Since they were already at the upper hand, there was no need to move.
After a while, everyone was ready.
After confirming this, the three company employees staying at the bottom of the pit began to cut the secret tunnel vault with water jets.
While waiting for the results, Xiao Ran used a miniature microphone to discuss the situation of the stone tablet with Mr. Jin and the others through live broadcast.
"Mr. Jin, you must have seen the high-definition pictures of this ruined monument. What are your thoughts?"
"On this stone tablet, I found the word Nansheng, but the word Nansheng was smashed. I don't know if it is the word Fan!"
"Li Shangyin's nickname is Fan Nansheng. Just based on the two characters Nansheng, it is difficult to determine that this stone tablet is related to Li Shangyin. Then we can only start with the text on the stone tablet to verify it!"
The next moment, Mr. Jin responded.
"You are right, Xiao Ran. Just based on the word "Nansheng", it is impossible to confirm that this stone tablet is related to Li Shangyin."
"But based on the calligraphy on the stele, we can basically confirm that this is indeed a stone stele from the late Tang Dynasty, and it is quite precious!"
"The calligraphy on this stone tablet is the famous Feibai style, and it has very obvious characteristics of late Tang calligraphy, which can be used as a basis for identification."
"The focus that needs to be verified now is the content recorded on the stone tablet to see if it is related to Li Shangyin. This requires consulting a large number of classics..."
Next, Xiao Ran discussed the matter of this ruined monument with Mr. Jin and others without saying a word.
Like him, many domestic appraisal experts and scholars were unable to determine the true origin of this broken monument for a while.
But one thing is very certain. This fragment of monument has high historical and cultural value and is worth collecting. It must be transported back to China!
After chatting for a while, news suddenly came from the bottom of the pit.
"Boss, we have cut the vault at the top of the secret passage. There is indeed a lot of dirty air in the secret passage."
"But no traps have been found. It seems safe at the moment."
"There is no accumulation of water in the secret passage, and the sealing is very good. You can enter it directly to explore."
After hearing the announcement, Xiao Ran immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Well done, guys, don't rush into the secret passage. Replace the air in the secret passage completely twice first."
"Throw some more glow sticks down, and then use drones and robots to start preliminary exploration."
"Once it is truly confirmed that it is safe, it is not too late for people to go in and explore. This is our territory. There is no need to take risks."
The next moment, those guys at the bottom of the pit responded immediately.
"Copy that, boss"
Next, several company employees standing at the edge of the pit hoisted two powerful exhaust fans to the bottom of the pit and began to replace the gas in the secret tunnel.
At this moment, good news suddenly came from the garden.
"Boss, we have dug a tunnel hidden deep underground in the rockery."
"Your guess is correct. This is indeed an underground building made of reinforced concrete. It is very strong."
"The first thing we dug was a reinforced concrete secret door. It looked like it would be difficult to open with explosives."
Matthew's excited voice came from the intercom.
Following his words, a wave of agitation immediately arose at the scene and in the live broadcast room.
No matter the people at the scene or the tens of thousands of fans in several live broadcast rooms, everyone was excited about it and started talking about it.
"Wow! Listen to this guy Matthew, they have dug out an underground fortress. Maybe Lu Qinzhai's treasure is hidden in this underground fortress."
"I'll go! This underground building is completely made of reinforced concrete. Lu Qinzhai, a big traitor, really worked hard!"
"Who says it isn't? From this point of view, there might be a huge surprise hidden in this underground building."
Just when everyone was talking about it, Xiao Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Copy that, Matthew, I'll go over to check the situation right away. You guys stop digging first and clean the bottom of the pit."
With that said, he walked towards the back garden of the villa.
Elaine and the others followed soon after, all of them in high spirits.
Carlin and Henry, who followed them together, had red eyes.
In a moment, everyone had entered the back garden of the villa.
Xiao Ran went straight to the big pit in the center of the back garden and looked at the bottom of the pit.
At this time, the excavator responsible for digging the large pit had moved back a certain distance to make room.
At the bottom of this big pit, Matthew and two other company employees were cleaning the bottom of the pit.
Some of the water generated by the excavation operations was quickly pumped out.
Following the movements of Matthew and the others, a mottled underground secret door appeared in front of everyone's eyes bit by bit.
Different from other doors, this secret door is at a 45-degree angle and is inserted diagonally into the ground at the bottom of the pit. It looks very strange.
And this door looks to be made of reinforced concrete, which is very strong and heavy.
Behind this underground secret door is an underground tunnel also made of reinforced concrete.
As for what is going on in the corridor, it is currently unknown.
Seeing the scene at the bottom of the pit, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, with faces full of astonishment.
The next moment, Henry suddenly said:
"Is this underground building built by Lu Qinzhai really used to hide treasures? It looks like an underground shelter!"
"With this level of solidity and being so deep, the main building is about ten meters deep. It is estimated that it can prevent nuclear bomb attacks."
Xiao Ran nodded in agreement, smiled and continued:
"You are right, Henry. The strength of this underground building can indeed be used to prevent nuclear bomb attacks."
"The last few years of Lu Qinzhai's life happened to be the historical period when a nuclear war was most likely to break out in the world."
"At that time, many very strong underground bunkers were built all over the world to deal with the possible outbreak of nuclear war."
"Whether this underground building is an underground bunker built by Lu Qinzhai for himself or a treasure house, the answer will be revealed soon."
Having said this, he suddenly changed the subject and said to Matthew and the others at the bottom of the pit:
"Guys, don't touch this underground secret door for the time being. Clean up the area around the secret door first."
"Let's explore the secret escape path first, and then open this secret door to explore the secret behind the secret door."
Matthew and the others naturally had no objection to his decision.
"Understood, boss"
