Since Mr. Nobel invented the new type of gunpowder, human beings' explosive capabilities have increased hundreds of times. The development of new chemical technology has made the gunpowder quickly eliminated, and a new world-destroying power has been mastered by humans.
The emergence of the army directly gave birth to a new branch of arms, that is, engineers. Don't think that anyone can serve as such a branch. In the new era, engineers and soldiers are all high-tech arms that can master directional blasting.
Among Chinese military academies, the engineering major is actually the most popular, especially among smart children from poor families.
Because the engineering major is very useful on the battlefield and is easy to perform meritorious service, and once you retire, many factories and mines will hire you with high salary. It can be said that it is a good major that can provide you with food and clothing, and has both military and civilian uses.
Naturally, there were experts in the special operations team who were skilled in gunplay. They circled back and forth around the statue and quickly determined the location of the lower gun.
"Here, here, and here... Use a steel chisel to dig out a fifteen centimeter deep hole... If you want to protect the statue, you have to blow it up with the base and move it away with the base!"
Soon there was the sound of clanging on the ground in the Louvre. Time was running out. Luo Huo looked at his pocket watch. It was already four-ten, which meant that there was only fifty minutes left for the robbery.
Raoul Rigaud and his team of supervisors have been on guard outside the palace, shielding themselves from the prying eyes of Parisian citizens, but in the dark night, who knows how many pairs of eyes are prying.
This is a secret transaction that cannot be exposed. The big shots who are qualified to know about this transaction have long known about it, but they said nothing.
But those civilians who want to speak will never be seen!
Raoul Rigault no longer knew how many cigarettes he had smoked. He paced back and forth in the gardens of the Tuileries Palace, counting the stars. Within an hour, he asked someone to remind him of the time inside.
Whenever a cargo carriage was loaded and left the palace, his heart couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Cars were coming and going, and Raoul Rigault had already seen with his own eyes the Chinese transporting 32 carts of treasures back and forth, but these people showed no sign of stopping, and the carriages that were unloaded outside the city turned around and ran back again.
"Are these damn greedy ghosts really going to empty out the palace? Is it really worth it for those supplies?"
While he was talking, a gust of north wind blew, and the biting cold wind penetrated along the collar of his neck. Raoulli was shivering all over from the cold.
Only then did he think of the children in the slums who were crying for food, and the corpses that were sent away for burial every morning. This was the cruelest reality, and survival at this moment was bigger than the sky.
"There's less than an hour left, let's see how much more you can take away!"
Those who end up finishing must be big fish. Originally, sculptures, which take up space and are heavy, were not included in the competition. However, the reputation of the three treasures of the Louvre in later generations was too great. The greed in Xiao Letian's heart I can't control it no matter what.
The engineers desperately began to dig into the ground, but they couldn't make a qualified hole for a quarter of an hour. The building specifications of the Louvre were too high, and the marble floor was extremely solid.
At the critical moment, we still had to rely on the strange people and strange things in the world. Several anonymous dragon guards walked over and took the hammer and steel drill from the hands of the engineers.
"How deep? Fifteen centimeters? That's four and a half inches deep, right?"
The Dragon Guard took a deep breath and slowly raised the huge hammer above his head. He exerted force in his Dantian, lunged and twisted his waist, and the hammer hit the steel drill with a clang as fast as a meteor rocket.
Good guy, this stream of sparks sprayed out more than a foot away. If an ordinary person held a steel drill, the force of this force could shatter the finger bones.
But the hand holding the steel drill was as stable as a mountain. Looking at the marble floor, the steel drill hit it a full centimeter deep.
"So strong?" The old scholars in Europe were dumbfounded.
Every time they swung the hammer, the Dragon Guards had to adjust their breathing. They hit it very slowly but with very high force. After more than ten hammers, the explosion crater that the engineers wanted was basically formed.
Luo Huo secretly sighed in his heart, "Where did Mr. Long find these strange people? How did he train him to become an ordinary guard incognito..."
"The head of state is really lucky, and all the talents in the world are stewed together!"
At this time, the engineer yelled, "That's it! Pretend..."
The body was stuffed in, the angle was adjusted, and then the thick cables fixed the upper part of the statue. People dragged it long and tightened it, for fear that the statue would fall to the ground after the final explosion.
"Everyone retreat...keep retreating...those holding the ropes should be pushed to other rooms and tighten the ropes!"
The * was finally ignited, and long tongues of flame spit back and forth on the floor, spreading like fire snakes. The officers and soldiers hiding in other rooms blocked their ears.
Suddenly, there was a boom, boom, boom... several dull loud noises, and the soldier pulling the rope suddenly felt a huge force pulling back and forth in his hand.
They used all their strength to control the brown rope, fearing that the statue would fall to the ground. The four ropes in the southeast, northwest and northwest fixed the statue with all their strength. When the smoke and dust dispersed, Luo Huo looked over and shouted.
"so beautiful!"
In the hall, debris from the explosion was everywhere, but the statue of Venus de Milo was stuck on the foundation. Although it was shaking from side to side, it did not fall at all.
"Great, let's put down the cables! Add four wooden poles and eight people to lift them... An empty carriage is available outside and spread with felt and straw. Time is running out. Hurry, hurry, hurry..."
When Raoul Rigaud outside the palace heard the explosion inside, he was so frightened that he dropped his cigarette on the ground. "Oh God! What are the Chinese doing? Why did they use *..."
The explosion not only alerted the supervisory team outside, but also alerted the citizens in the neighborhoods around the palace. Those who woke up from their sleep opened their windows and looked in the direction of the palace in confusion.
Raoul Rique was so tall that he could never forget this scene. Eight strong Chinese soldiers stood at the main entrance of the palace, with thick wooden poles on their shoulders. The Venus de Milo was tied up and hung on four wooden poles, just like dragging a corpse. Drag it out.
Following closely behind was the statue of the Goddess of Victory, which was even heavier and ten soldiers used five huge wooden poles to lift it out!
"Assholes! Tell these bastards that it's already five o'clock and tell them to get out! Get out of Paris immediately!" Raoul Rigaud's voice sounded like he was crying.
Luo Huo also knew that tonight's affairs could not be seen in the light, and he had to evacuate here before dawn. When the three treasures of the Louvre Palace were loaded onto the carriage, he finally gave the order to evacuate.
"Blow the rally call! We can't be too greedy... We have eaten enough this time. If there is still a chance in the future, there will definitely be a chance!"
"Let's go! Let's go out of the city!"
