Chapter 963 Liar! They Are All Liars!

"You should know, right? Before entering the mausoleum, my great-grandfather and Howard Carter had a violent quarrel."

Yang Cheng nodded, "You mean, in order to monopolize the treasure, Howard Carter sent someone to kill the people who entered the mausoleum with them and some other insiders? No way? Is he so crazy?"

Earl Carnarvon looked sad, "Yes, that year, Howard Carter and his great-grandfather first entered the main tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun through the secret passage, and were the first to discover many treasures and funerary objects in Tutankhamun's coffin. Including the golden mask.

On the night they came out of the mausoleum, the two had conflicts. Howard Carter wanted to monopolize the financial report in the mausoleum, but his great-grandfather thought it was wrong to do so. Of course, he compromised with Howard Carter in the end. The treasure of the entire tomb, and the great-grandfather only wanted the golden mask. "

Yang Cheng hurriedly said, "That is to say, when the archaeological team entered the mausoleum, one of the relatively empty tombs was found to be full of treasures? And the lost treasures have been moved away by Howard Carter through secret passages in advance?"

"Yes, but Howard Carter was not satisfied, or he regretted it, because he also valued the golden mask the most, but his great-grandfather took precautions and sent someone back to the British sea the day after he took out the golden mask. Collier Castle, on the eve of their official burial, the great-grandfather took out two imitation gold masks, one was used to cover the face of the pharaoh mummy, pretending to be discovered for the first time, and the other was hidden in the In the residence in Egypt, used to deceive Howard Carter, who knows that he still failed to escape the murderous hands in the end."

"So, what secrets exist on the golden mask? Can Howard Carter go crazy?" Yang Cheng asked.

This time, Carnarvon didn't answer directly, but hesitated for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "The golden mask looks smooth on the surface, but if you shine it with light from a certain angle, you can find some weird symbols And patterns, Howard Carter and great-grandfather believe the mask holds clues to another astonishing treasure."

Yang Cheng couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, he thought that Kanavin could say that those patterns might be alien characters.

"So your family has studied for hundreds of years, but found nothing?"

Carnarvon heard the displeasure in Yang Cheng's words, and he was a little confused, so shouldn't he be happy?

But he didn't think much about it, he was only dissatisfied when Yang Cheng learned the truth that the pharaoh's curse was a hoax.

"Yes, I can't hold on now. As the current head of the Carnarvon family, my responsibility and obligation is to lead the family to continue the inheritance. As for this secret, I don't think there is any need to keep it. Maybe with the help of my partners, Can you crack the secrets in the golden mask faster?"

Earl Carnarvon thought about it, but Yang Cheng was depressed. He was not very interested in the so-called shocking treasure. No, no, to be precise, this was not an unexpected surprise. If it was really an alien relic, If he was able to find alien technology, even metals from outer space, he would definitely hug Carnarvon's face and kiss him a few times, which would be of great significance for the future development of the Yang family.

But if it's just a treasure, it's just a lot of money. I don't know how long it will take to find it. In the end, I have to share it with the Carnarvon family. In that time, he has earned the money from the treasure. Anyway, he Do not point to treasure hunting to make a fortune.

Of course, if this treasure is really an astonishing wealth as Carnarvon said, for example, the total value exceeds tens of billions of dollars, then this has to be said otherwise.

and,

The Carnarvon family has devoted their entire family's efforts to research for hundreds of years, but they haven't researched even a single hair. It is almost impossible to expect Yang Cheng to discover any secrets from it, not to mention that he is not an expert in the study of ancient Egyptian history. There are clues or passwords to the treasure on the mask, and he is unlikely to be able to research it out, and compared to the gods and gods of ancient Egypt, he thinks it is more reliable to go to country Z to find the treasures of Li Zicheng, Wang Mang, and Zhang Xianzhong , at least their treasures are said to have nose and eyes, and it sounds more reliable, but they don't know where it is so far.

There is also the treasure of the "Awa Maru", which is recognized as one of the largest treasures that have not yet been discovered. An RB civilian ship transported supplies from RB to the northeast of country Z, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and Dawan route, and the route from RB to Southeast Asia without being attacked and inspected by the Allied forces. This ship is the "Awa Maru".

In order to distinguish it from other ships, the sides and chimneys of the "Awa Maru" are painted with white background, and a green cross is drawn in the middle. This symbol is almost equivalent to an "amulet".

However, at midnight on April 1, 1945, the green cross on a white background was not able to bless the "Awa Maru" sailing in the waters of Niushan Island, Pingtan, Fujian, China. It was attacked by the American submarine "Queen Fish". Sunk directly.

The sinking of the "Awa Maru" not only caused the largest maritime disaster in history-2008 of the 2009 crew members died at the time, but also buried billions of dollars worth of gold, platinum, jewelry and priceless cultural relics and artworks, Among these cultural relics and works of art, it is said that the lost skull fossil of "BJ Man" is also included.

Although the "Apollo" has become an unsolved mystery because the treasure has not been discovered, and many people even don't believe in the existence of the treasure, all the witnesses related to the "Awa Maru" have convincingly introduced the "Apollo". The treasure loaded on the Maru.

At that time, the media interviewed a corps commander of the RB Army. According to his memory, under the strict security of the gendarmerie, hundreds of wooden boxes with a length of 30 cm in width and a height of about 20 cm were taken out of the underground vault of the Southern Development Bank of Singapore. Packed in 26 trucks and delivered to the ship "Awa Maru".

This is real gold!

Compared with the illusory pharaoh's treasure, gold is more realistic.

Seeing that Yang Cheng's excitement gradually weakened, Carnarvon didn't know if it was intentional, and immediately threw out another news, "In addition, we found that the metal material used in the golden mask is not pure gold, but mixed with gold. Some substances are not among the metals found on Earth."

After saying that, Yang Cheng stood up abruptly, this is what he wanted.

However, Carnarvon immediately poured cold water on it, "However, we found that this metal substance is similar to platinum, with high density, strong ductility, and not easy to corrode. Apart from that, there is nothing special about it. Maybe we Not necessarily found."

Yang Cheng was very disappointed. He felt that he had been tricked. Carnarvon was just teasing him. Like his great-grandfather, he was a liar.

Carnarvon said again, "I can give you the results of the research and the few remaining unknown metals. If you can research any results, I will occupy a certain share."

Yang Cheng almost laughed angrily, "Your Excellency, I have reason to believe that you have given up hope for this unknown metal, but you are unwilling to give up. In line with the principle of waste utilization, throw this burden to me, even if You don't lose if I can't research it, once you have any tangible results, you can get a piece of the pie, this is a shrewd plan."

Carnarvon instantly regained his aristocratic cheekiness, "Mr. Yang, you misunderstood me. The reason why I am willing to share the secrets of the family for a hundred years is because I don't want to see the Carnarvon family disappear in the years and just become a history book." Whether it is researching treasures or metals, the words in it have almost emptied the family's century-old savings, and now we can't support it anymore, so we want to find someone to cooperate, isn't it normal?"

Yang Cheng was speechless, "I see, I will send someone to take over later, by the way, you have already disassembled the golden mask, right?"

Earl Carnarvon smiled awkwardly, "It's not broken down, but in order to take a sample of that unknown metal, some damage was done to the mask itself."

Well, this is good, and there is no value left for appreciation.

Now Yang Cheng finally understands why Carnarvon dared to open his mouth for 100 million yuan. This is because he is planning to use the golden mask as bait to lure Yang Cheng into the bait.

Not to mention that the bait is quite accurate, Yang Cheng is a little bit hard to get off, he is rich, he is much richer than the Carnarvon family, he has enough financial resources to find more and better experts to join in the research, but even if the research comes out so what? It is obviously something from outer space, where can he find a source of minerals with abundant reserves? How can you make money without mining resources?

But the secret of the golden mask is not only the unknown metal, but also the treasure. If there is a shocking treasure, the current investment is not a problem.

Comparing the two, Yang Cheng felt it was worth the gamble.

"Your Excellency, I have accepted the hotel's investment plan. If possible, I hope that Prince William can join in the research of the golden mask."

He didn't want to share money with others generously, but to add a guarantee for himself. Once he really researched something, what would happen if Earl Carnarvon turned his face and refused to admit it? Although he is not afraid, it is better to avoid some troubles actively. Yang Cheng does not trust the character of these British nobles.

One more person to share the money is also a difficult multiple-choice question for Earl Carnarvon. He would definitely disagree with other people, but Prince William, he has to think carefully. If Yang Cheng reveals this matter , How does Prince William see himself? William's succession to the throne in the future is a certainty. Although the real power of the Windsor family is left behind, as long as they are not overthrown, they will be loyal to the Carnarvon family.

After weighing it over and over again, Carnarvon finally nodded in agreement. There is no other way, the situation is stronger than others, and the current Carnarvon family does not have the capital to negotiate terms.
