"This is the general platform!" Zhu Yu said his guess!
"It should be." Ran Jie took a few steps closer to take a look and said, "This mound is a four-sided pyramid, not round like the original mound tomb. You see, the four sides are flat..."
"That's the general point station." Cao Dalong made the final decision.
Qin Fei glanced at him: "It makes you look like a professional."
Cao Dalong chuckled and said nothing.
"Let's go over and have a look." Zhu Yu waved his hand, "You'll know when you get close."
If it is a mound tomb, even if it is hollowed out, you should still be able to see traces.
If it is a general point platform, it should be solid, and naturally there will be nothing.
There are mainly five or six in a row, forming a line, and they all look similar. It is difficult to say that this is natural.
Croya was a little confused when he heard the four of them speaking Chinese, but looking at the direction they were walking, he roughly understood what was going on.
She hurriedly followed, still beside Zhu Yu.
After walking to an earthen platform and stopping, Zhu Yu put down his backpack, took out his shovel, and said:
"I'll go up and have a look."
At this time, Croya also saw that this earthen platform should be made artificially, but she didn't quite understand. What does this have to do with treasure hunting?
The Golden Horde is a country composed of nomadic peoples, and the Principality of Kievan Rus does not have this form of burial.
So what's the point of digging here?
Once inside the business, Croya's psychological trauma melted away at that moment, and she also took out a shovel and climbed onto the soil platform.
Years of weathering and erosion have caused this earth platform to lose its original appearance. Some plants have grown on it. Fortunately, because it is in an uninhabited area and has not been damaged by humans, the original appearance can still be roughly seen.
Standing at the highest point, Zhu Yu looked at several other earthen platforms and saw that they were indeed a line, very straight. The sizes and shapes of these earth platforms are exactly the same.
Really hammered!
Of course, with the celestial eye, there is nothing in the middle of the earthen platform. It is solid, which also rules out the possibility of an earthen mound tomb.
Since this is the general station, it should be the place where the Golden Horde army went to war again or took the oath.
It is basically certain that drawing a line from here to Kiev is the route for gold transportation.
However, the gold did not reach here, so Zhu Yu and the others had to continue walking southeast.
"Boss, come down. The target on the platform is too obvious." Ran Jie stepped onto the platform, looked at what Zhu Yu was looking at when he took out the map, and reminded him.
Zhu Yu immediately woke up and walked down quickly. Seeing Croya still digging and analyzing the soil, he pulled her up.
Croya looked at him blankly.
"Go down, it's too high here, you can see us from a distance, the target is too obvious."
Hearing what Zhu Yu said, Croya suddenly trembled and immediately followed him down.
Qin Fei and Cao Dalong looked around with binoculars, eliminating suspicious points one by one.
After going down, he found a flat place. Zhu Yu spread out the map, and Ran Jie helped align the map with the current location.
Fortunately, the local map is very clear. This earthen platform is considered a landmark and is clearly marked.
After aligning it, Zhu Yu took out his pen and drew a line from the platform to Kiev, and then said:
"The line from here to Kiev is the target line we are looking for. Of course, it may be on both sides of the line, or it may be farther away. But the general direction is this."
At least we are one step closer to the correct goal and have a general direction.
Bao Ranjie and the other two knew exactly what they were looking for. When they found the general platform, all four of them basically understood it.
After all, they had seen it once in Zhaosu and were mentally prepared. So after seeing it here, they knew very well that it was probably impossible for locals to build a dianjiangtai of this scale.
One is that the customs are different and it is impossible; the other is a problem of manpower. This place is not like Greece, Rome, or Egypt. There is no need and will not involve such civil engineering works.
It can only be the Golden Horde that reached Poland during the Western Expedition at that time.
This time Zhu Yu spoke in English. Croya understood it but didn't understand it.
She took Zhu Yu's arm and asked:
"Why are you so sure?"
Now that he was a teammate, Zhu Yu did not intend to find something and then devour it for himself, so he pointed at the earthen platform and explained:
"This is called the Commander's Platform. It is the place where the soldiers and generals are counted and sworn in when the army sets out to fight."
"So what?" Croya was a little confused. He hadn't studied Chinese history very much and didn't know what it meant to point the general platform.
"Only a large-scale army can create such a general station.
The existence of these things shows that the troops of the Golden Horde were stationed here at that time. Then the destination for the gold sent by the Principality of Kievan Rus should be here. "
Combined with what Zhu Yu said before, Croya understood that the route was determined!
She looked at Zhu Yu with admiration.
He entered the industry earlier than Zhu Yu, but in this aspect, he feels that he is much worse than Zhu Yu.
Of course, there is the aura of a savior in it. In addition, Zhu Yu has absorbed so much energy, and his temperament has changed tremendously. He is the kind who will be promised to him if he saves others.
Otherwise, you will be a cow or a horse in your next life.
Zhu Yu saw her gaze and immediately explained:
"Because the Golden Horde was a vassal state of the Chinese Yuan Empire at that time, we know a lot about their habits, which is normal."
Croya shook his head, this is not normal, at least it shows that Zhu Yu was a good boy when he was in school.
"Okay, let's adjust the route and make it more southerly."
Zhu Yu put away the map and determined the direction.
Once you have a goal, you will naturally move much faster and everyone will be in a good mood.
With the help of his celestial eye, Zhu Yu was sure that he was on the right path.
Because along the way, you can see a lot of things underground, including armor fragments, arrowheads, bones and the like.
Moreover, the area where these things are distributed is relatively flat, suitable for walking and horses running.
Further to both sides, there are very few such "remains" to almost none.
After all, there are not many traces of human beings here, and this has been the case since ancient times.
Then we arrived at the river.
Fortunately, they were prepared. Cao Dalong and Qin Fei took out the folded inflatable raft from their backpacks and opened it to inflate.
It's not a big thing, but it's no problem for two or three people to go up there.
After finding a relatively flat place, Ran Jie and Qin Fei went there first, while Zhu Yu and Cao Dalong held guns to cover them.
After confirming that there was no danger, Ran Jie and Qin Fei took out their guns to cover, while Zhu Yu and the others got on the raft and entered the water, rowing to the other side.
The raft was put away, the guns were put away, and the five men rested on the other side.
Because this place is closer to the national border, we didn’t light a fire and eat convenience food.
After eating, Zhu Yu was responsible for finding the way. After walking about one kilometer, Zhu Yu stopped.
A swamp appeared ahead.
This should be a wetland near a lake. The water doesn't look too deep, but there are piles of grass inside, as well as dark green tangled aquatic plants in it.
"Don't get close, it's easy to trap people here." Zhu Yu reminded others.
However, judging from the traces, it turned out that this was indeed the direction the army was traveling.
In the swamp, there are also some bones and complete armor.
This should be the person who got stuck at that time.
"Boss, how do we go?" Looking at the swamp, Ran Jie and others could only ask.
"Go around." There is no good solution.
If you go around, you will have to walk several kilometers more.
But it is necessary.
When he said this, others naturally had no objection.
After going around for about three kilometers, Zhu Yu stopped.
He found that after he made the detour, the original "remains" were not much detoured, but there were ruts in the swamp near where he detoured.
Under water.
The average water depth in this swamp is less than one meter, but the silt below is more than one meter deep, and there are still nearly two meters deep.
But in a certain part of the swamp, the geology is relatively hard and there is no silt, so there are marks. Just barely visible.
Could it be that the swamps in the past were not as complete as they are now?
Seeing Zhu Yu stop, Ran Jie and others also stopped.
Zhu Yu continued to walk forward, and as he walked, he realized that something was wrong.
There are traces of the battlefield ahead.
On the edge of the swamp, in the swamp, there are human bones, horse bones, arrowheads, two-handed swords, one-handed sword fragments, and spearheads.
Shouldn't it?
Zhu Yu remembered that there seemed to be very few weapons like spears among the Mongolian cavalry.
Most of them are scimitars, maces, meteor hammers and the like.
Could it be the weapon of the servant army?
Or locally armed weapons?
While thinking, he walked forward. As he was walking, Zhu Yu suddenly stopped.
Through his eyes, he saw two carriages stuck in a relatively deep place in the swamp ahead.
A carriage contained a carriage of glassware.
There was also a carriage containing a box of gold coins and a statue, the size of an adult.
gold.
Zhu Yu's mind "buzzed" and stopped for a moment.
Then it dawned on me.
This should be the golden treasure Eric mentioned!
It’s just that this golden statue, plus gold coins, only weighs a few hundred kilograms at best, less than a ton!
How could it be worth two billion euros?
Is Eric's information wrong?
After thinking about it, Zhu Yu probably felt that his guess was correct.
Two billion euros of gold, that would be dozens of tons!
After all, the current exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar is basically a few cents to one, which is about the same.
One ton of gold is worth more than 60 million euros.
Two billion euros, almost three hundred tons, are now the gold reserves of some medium and large countries.
Is it possible for a small country at that time to exist?
A few hundred kilograms is almost the same!
A few hundred kilograms, I am afraid that a small principality at that time devoted all its national resources.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to carry some glassware. Glassware must have been quite valuable at that time.
"Okay, let's find a safer place to camp here today." Zhu Yu waved his hand and gave the order.
Naturally, Ran Jie and the other three obeyed unconditionally. Croya had questions but didn't ask them.
"I think there should be something discovered in this swamp." Zhu Yu explained, but he didn't want to go into too much detail.
At this moment, a rustling sound came from the intercom.
This is the result of everyone's discussion after Croya's accident.
If you have something to say, press it first and there will be noise, so you are at least prepared. If you can connect, just connect. If you can't, just turn off the phone.
Zhu Yu pressed the intercom and spoke:
"This is Zhu Yu's team. We are now on the south bank of the Dnieper River, ready to set up camp. Over."
Then Eric's voice came out:
"I'm Eric. I've discovered something here. I've found a battlefield relic and am currently excavating it. If you haven't found it yet, I suggest you come over."
Among the noise, Fandrick's voice came:
"I also found something here. I dug up some weapon fragments and am continuing to search. Over."
This is not intended to be done.
"We have also discovered something," Zhu Yu said again, "We will see the results tomorrow. If we don't find anything, we will come to your side. Over."
After finishing speaking, he turned off the intercom.
Looking at the gold in the swamp, Zhu Yu sighed, feeling disappointed.
But no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still flesh, so it's better than nothing.
At this time, Ran Jie and the others had found a suitable location and started to set up the tent.
Croya once again pitched the tent next to Zhu Yu.
Then there is the search. Digging.
Zhu Yu moved faster this time.
This place was closer to the border than before, and he didn't want to be attacked again.
Ran Jie and Cao Dalong went out to watch farther away, while Qin Fei patrolled and protected near Zhu Yu and Croya.
After a while, Zhu Yu dug out a dozen metal fragments such as arrowheads, which surprised Croya.
"How did you find them? You didn't use a metal detector." Croya was curious.
"I know Feng Shui." Zhu Yu is already used to using Feng Shui to go to the lake to do things like a layman.
They can't learn it anyway.
If you want to learn Feng Shui, you must at least learn Chinese first.
After learning Chinese, you still have to learn some ancient books such as the I Ching, right?
It takes three to five years to learn Chinese before you become proficient, and that's still Mandarin. The I Ching is written in classical Chinese. Not to mention foreigners, how many Chinese people can read and understand the I Ching fluently?
So Zhu Yu is not afraid of being exposed.
When he said this, Croya was immediately shocked.
Then she followed Zhu Yu's lead - in fact, she really didn't see any difference here.
At most, there is an extra swamp, or shallow lake.
It would be better if there was a radar scan. After all, it can scan what's in the swamp.
Foreign treasure hunters mostly rely on science and technology. Croja also has a small folding metal detector in his hand.
She scanned the waterside for a while, but didn't find anything, so she followed Zhu Yu to look for it.
Zhu Yu slowly came to the outskirts of the swamp where the golden statue sank.
As the sky darkened, he asked Qin Fei to call him back.
"This place is close to the border. Let's eat as soon as possible and go into the tent to rest. Don't turn on the lights or make a fire at night, and try to stay as quiet as possible. We will continue the operation tomorrow."
No one else has an opinion.
After reporting that Eric was safe, Zhu Yu turned off the intercom. He was afraid that if there was a sudden noise in the middle of the night, it would spread far and would alert other people.
The next day, several people got up early and packed up the tents.
This time, Ran Jie stayed, Qin Fei and Cao Dalong went out to guard, and Zhu Yu and Croya continued to search here.
Zhu Yu looked for it and went into the water.
Croya was a little worried and stood by the water and said:
"This is a swamp, be careful!"
Zhu Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have experience."
He had a fart experience, mainly because his eyes could see where there was mud and hard bottom under the water, so he dared to step down.
But Croya didn't know, so he looked admiring, thinking that Zhu Yu was experienced.
Zhu Yu didn't want to go on like this anymore. If he squatted down again, Croya would be leaning against him.
At this time, the intercom rang.
Croya got through and asked:
"This is Zhu Yu and Croya's team. What's going on?"
Eric's voice rang:
"I found a large metal reaction area underground and need your help!"
