"Bang——!"
There was a sudden sound from the bottom of the pit, which was the sound of metal hitting rock.
Immediately afterwards, Derek's excited voice came up from the bottom of the pit.
"Steven, we dug up a granite step, and half of it has been smashed by someone, and the knock marks left on it are very obvious"
Hearing this, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent immediately took a step forward, came to the edge of the pit, and looked at the bottom of the pit that had been dug to a depth of more than three meters.
At this time, Derek and another company employee were standing at the bottom of the pit, covered in mud, looking somewhat embarrassed.
However, their faces hidden under protective masks bloomed with bright smiles.
Seeing Ye Tian appear at the entrance of the pit, Derek immediately scraped the ground with the engineer shovel in his hand, pointed at the half of the steps exposed on the ground and said:
"Steven, this is it. This is the remaining half of the granite steps. Although it has been smashed long ago, it can still be recognized"
Ye Tian looked down at the half of the steps carefully, then pretended to be excited and said:
"Yes, that is indeed half a granite step. It seems that my previous guess was correct. There was originally a secret passage leading deep underground, but it was deliberately destroyed and backfilled.
The secret passage extends to the upper half of the steps in the basement. It was deliberately smashed and then backfilled with sand and gravel to hide it from people's eyes and ears. In this way, no one can discover the secret passage.
I don’t know who is the person who smashed and backfilled this secret passage. I have to admit that this approach is very smart. Even if someone pries up the granite floors in the basement, it is impossible to discover this secret passage.
Even if the Germans rebuilt the Temple Palace, in order to maintain the original style of the Temple Palace and restore it as it was before, it would be impossible to dig three or four meters underground. Naturally, this destroyed secret would not be discovered. road.
Judging from the traces of destruction of this secret passage, it should be no more than a hundred years old. This is consistent with my previous prediction. Someone had done something here decades ago to try to cover up some secret! ”
Hearing his words, Derek and the others who were standing at the bottom of the pit, as well as Bishop Kent and David who were standing on the edge of the pit, all nodded in unison and had no different opinions.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"Derek, use the pulse metal detector to scan the bottom of the pit first to see if you can detect metal signals to prevent the existence of traps. Make sure it is safe before digging."
"Okay, Steven"
Derrick nodded in response and immediately put down the engineer shovel in his hand.
Another company employee who was also at the bottom of the pit also stopped digging temporarily.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian had someone put down a pulse metal detector and put it at the bottom of the pit.
After getting the metal detector, Derek and the two of them immediately started detecting, using the detector's coil to scan the bottom of the pit.
At this moment, Cole's voice suddenly came from the wireless invisible earphones.
"Steven, the Germans in the hall of the Temple Palace came to us again and strongly requested to enter the basement to supervise and participate in the ongoing exploration operations. Everyone was very eager.
What do you think? Should we let these Germans into the basement, or continue to hold them in the hall of the Temple Palace? If you continue to obstruct them and don't give them a chance to participate, conflicts may arise! ”
After hearing the report, Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but began to think.
After hesitating for a moment, he whispered:
"Our actions in this basement cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Germans on the ground. There is no way to hide the sound of the previous drilling machine and the sand and gravel that are constantly being transported out of the basement.
You are right. Under this situation, if those Germans are not given any chance to participate in exploration and supervision, those Germans will probably be mad. This is Berlin, Germany after all.
We can make a slight concession, Cole. You can tell the Germans that they can send four people down to participate in and supervise the ongoing exploration operations. We can only provide four sets of protective suits.
As for which four people come down, it is up to them to decide. After arriving here, I can give them a brief introduction to the situation, and then they will exit the basement and wait for news outside the door."
"Okay, Steven, I'll tell those Germans what you mean"
Cole responded and immediately ended the call.
As soon as he finished speaking, Derek's voice came up from the bottom of the pit again.
"Steven, we didn't scan any metal signals. Obviously, there are no metal objects buried here, and there should be no traps"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately looked at the bottom of the pit, and then said in a deep voice:
"You put the pulse metal detector aside first, and then continue digging down along the direction of the granite steps. Every time you go down a step, use the metal detector to scan the ground.
Although no metal signal was scanned at the bottom of the pit, no one can be sure. There are no other traps on these steps. Some traps do not have metal objects, but they are still deadly, such as the flip trap.
For the sake of safety, you must be extremely cautious when digging downwards and watch your steps. It doesn’t matter if you go slower, safety is the first priority. Tie a safety rope around your waist, just in case."
"Understood, Steven, we will be careful"
Derrick at the bottom of the pit nodded in response, and another company employee also nodded.
Next, Ye Tian asked his employees to place two safety ropes at the bottom of the pit, and Derek and the others immediately tied the safety ropes around their waists.
The ends of the two safety ropes are tied to two pillars in the corridor outside the basement door and are very strong.
After tying the safety rope, Derek and the others picked up the engineer shovel again and began to dig downward.
After digging for a while, they made another discovery.
"Steven, this is a step that slopes downward. The steps below are made of granite and are basically intact. However, the vaults above the steps and the walls on both sides have been deliberately removed.
Looking at the direction of this step, it should be leading to the Spree River. I don’t know if there are any turns in the middle. There must be a major secret hidden deep in this granite step."
At the same time as Derek was introducing, Ye Tian and the others, standing at the edge of the pit, had already seen another level of granite steps exposed at the bottom of the pit.
Compared with the previous half of the steps, the second step is more completely preserved, with only one corner missing.
Ye Tian looked at the steps that appeared at the bottom of the pit, then nodded with a chuckle and said:
"You are right. The person or guys who destroyed and backfilled this secret passage went to such great lengths to try to erase it. The secrets they wanted to hide must be very important.
I have a hunch that if you dig a little deeper, you will see a complete secret passage, and that secret passage is probably sealed. The thing that seals the passage may be a large stone slab.
Because of this, the pulse metal detector cannot scan any metal signals. Of course, there is another possibility. This secret passage is very deep and exceeds the scanning range of the metal detector."
Next, Derek and the others continued to wave their arms at the bottom of the pit and dig down along the steps, while Ye Tian and the others stood on the edge of the pit, looking down at the situation at the bottom of the pit.
While talking, Derek and the others dug out another step, and several large buckets of sand were lifted to the ground, and then dumped into another basement outside.
At this moment, under the leadership of Cole, four Germans wearing full protective suits filed into the basement. Everyone was extremely excited and full of expectations.
These four Germans are the person in charge of the Temple Palace, a deputy minister from the German Ministry of Culture, the director of the Berlin Museum and a famous archaeologist.
Seeing them coming in, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent immediately greeted them, introduced the general situation to these Germans, and then brought these Germans to the edge of the pit.
When these Germans saw the granite steps appearing at the bottom of the pit, their eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had discovered the door to a new world.
