In a room on the third floor, Tony, an employee of the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company, was happily introducing the findings of his team to Ye Tian.
"Steven, this wall has been artificially thickened. After our comparison and calculation, this wall should have been thickened by about fifteen centimeters, making this room a little smaller than the same room. .
Perhaps in order to cover up the traces of modifications to this wall, the ceiling of this room seems to have been tampered with. Although its decoration style is Renaissance style, it is somewhat different from other rooms.
This difference is very small. If you don't observe carefully, it is almost impossible to notice. We still discovered the strangeness of this wall first, and then paid attention to the ceiling above. It was only after several comparisons that we discovered the difference.
According to our speculation, there should be a mezzanine or hidden compartment in this wall, and there may also be a mezzanine in the ceiling of the roof. However, we did not detect any metal signal in this wall or ceiling! ”
While saying this, Tony also picked up the pulse metal detector and scanned the wall and ceiling. The pulse metal detector did not sound.
Ye Tian nodded slightly and did not respond immediately. Instead, he carefully observed the wall and ceiling in front of him, looking thoughtful.
After a while, he smiled and said:
"Yes, Tony, this wall has indeed been tampered with, as has the ceiling of the roof. This wall has been artificially thickened, and there is indeed something wrong with the decorative style of the ceiling.
Because this historical building is very strong and well-preserved, although the people who lived here in later generations carried out interior decoration many times, they did not knock out the original carvings and decorations.
The carvings, patterns and lines where the wall and ceiling meet are in Renaissance style at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see the hidden flaws.
Those dignified and elegant patterns and lines vaguely reveal a bit of neoclassical art, which is slightly different from the classicism admired in Renaissance-style architecture.
To put it simply, the Renaissance style advocates the revival of the architectural form of the ancient Roman period, while neoclassicism advocates the ideal beauty of ancient Greek architecture and art. This is the difference."
While saying this, Ye Tian was also pointing, focusing on those ancient carvings and patterns.
Hearing this, David and Tony all nodded, and a look of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"Most of the architectural and decorative styles of this historic building are highly unified, all in the Renaissance style. Only this room has the shadow of neoclassical art.
The rise of neoclassical art was in the mid-to-late eighteenth century, but this historical building was built in the late fifteenth century, which was the heyday of the Renaissance movement.
It can be seen that the walls and ceiling of this room have indeed been tampered with. The guy who did the tampering tried his best to imitate the Renaissance style and restore the place to its original state.
However, he was greatly influenced by neoclassicism, which was the most popular at the time, and he unknowingly left some flaws. Although these flaws were very small, we still discovered them!
It can be determined from this that the time when this wall and ceiling were modified should be from the late 18th century to the early 19th century, which is far different from the construction period of this building.
As for what is hidden in these walls and ceilings, or whether there is nothing at all, only by opening them can we know the truth. It may be a huge surprise.
From the neoclassical artistic elements implicit in this room, combined with the history of Milan, I have to start thinking that this may be related to a very important historical event.
If there is really something hidden in this wall and ceiling, it is most likely related to that important historical event, and this discovery is likely to cause a huge sensation."
Before he finished speaking, Tony asked excitedly:
"Steven, what is that important historical event you are talking about? Tell us about it!"
"That's right, Steven, don't tell everyone the answer!"
David continued, his eyes full of curiosity.
Ye Tian gently shook his head and said with a smile:
"The secret must not be leaked! David, Tony, if you wait patiently for a while, the answer will be revealed soon. I hope my guess is correct, that would be great!
Given that this discovery is likely to be very important, in order to ensure that this exploration operation is open and transparent, it is time for Bishop Kent and Giovanni to come up! ”
After finishing speaking, he picked up the walkie-talkie and told the company employees and security personnel who remained on the first floor to inform Bishop Kent that they should come up to the third floor to witness the next exploration on the spot.
Of course, only a limited number of old friends, experts and scholars are eligible to come to the third floor. Representatives from other parties have to wait patiently in the reception area on the first floor and continue to suffer.
Three to five minutes later, Bishop Kent and Giovanni went upstairs to the room on the third floor.
As soon as they entered the room, these guys took a quick glance at the situation in the room. Everyone was full of curiosity and excitement!
When they saw that this room had not changed at all, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Steven, you said there may be a major discovery. Is this so-called major discovery in this room? Can you tell us about it?"
The deputy mayor of Milan asked impatiently, as did everyone else, all looking at Ye Tian.
"Yes, gentlemen, the important discovery I mentioned is hidden in this room. Of course, it may be all for nothing!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied.
Next, he introduced the situation here, introduced in detail the findings of Tony and his team, and expressed his speculations.
Following his introduction, the audience immediately heard voices of exclamation, and every voice was filled with envy and even jealousy!

At the same time, several experts and scholars also came forward to carefully observe the artificially thickened wall and modified ceiling.
In just a moment, these experts and scholars have reached a conclusion.
"Yes, Steven, this wall has indeed been artificially thickened. The carvings and patterns between the wall and the ceiling do reveal a bit of neoclassical art, which is in line with the overall appearance of this historical building. The style does not match”
"If nothing else happens, there is probably a mezzanine inside this wall. As for what is hidden inside, it is unknown. Whether there is a mezzanine on the ceiling is not certain!"
As several experts and scholars came up with their own conclusions, the scene suddenly became more lively and everyone became more excited!
Immediately afterwards, Bishop Kent asked expectantly:
"Steven, you just said that the changes in this room and the things hidden in this room are probably related to a very important historical event. Can the answer be revealed now?"
Not only Bishop Kent, but also everyone present, who doesn’t want to know the answer? Everyone looked at Ye Tian, with curiosity and expectation in their eyes.
Ye Tian glanced at the guys on the scene, and then gave his answer.
"As we all know, neoclassical art emerged in France in the second half of the 18th century and spread to Italy in the late 18th century. Like France, neoclassicism soon became mainstream art in Italy.
In addition to neoclassical art, the French Revolution was in full swing in France at that time. The wave of the French Revolution swept not only the entire France, but also almost all of Europe, including Italy.
In different countries, the impact of the French Revolution was different. In Italy, it was in the form of conquest. The biggest impact on Italy at that time was Napoleon, who led the army to occupy Milan..."
The moment they heard the name Napoleon, everyone at the scene seemed to have been cast a restraining spell. They were all stunned on the spot. They all looked at Ye Tian with their mouths open and their eyes filled with disbelief!
