Chapter 2155 the Door Leading to the Deep Underground
"boom--!"
Suddenly there was a crisp 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 have dug up a granite step, and this step has been smashed in half, 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, which 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 the protective masks were full of bright smiles.
Seeing Ye Tian appearing at the mouth of the pit, Derek immediately scraped the ground with the engineer shovel in his hand, pointed to the half step exposed on the ground and said:
"Steven, this is here. This is the remaining half of the granite steps. Although it has been destroyed by someone, it can still be identified."
Ye Tian took a condescending look at the half of the steps carefully, and then pretended to be excited and said:
"That's right, that is indeed a half-section of granite steps. It seems that my previous guess was correct. There used to be a secret passage leading deep underground, but it was deliberately destroyed and backfilled.
The secret passage leading to the upper half of the basement steps was deliberately smashed, and then backfilled with sand and gravel to conceal it, so that no one would be able to find the secret passage.
It is not known who smashed and backfilled the secret passage, but it must be admitted that this was so clever that even if someone pried up the few granite floors in the basement, it would not be possible to find the secret passage.
Even if the Germans rebuild the Temple Palace, in order to maintain the original style of the Temple Palace and restore it as it was, it is impossible to dig three or four meters deep underground, and naturally this destroyed secret passage will not be found.
Judging from the traces of the destruction of this secret passage, the time should not exceed a hundred years. This is the same as my previous prediction. A few decades ago, someone tampered with here, trying to cover up some secrets! "
Hearing his words, Derek and the others standing at the bottom of the pit, as well as the Bishop of Kent and David standing on the edge of the pit mouth, all nodded in unison without any disagreement.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:
"Derek,
You first scan the bottom of the pit with a pulse metal detector to see if you can scan for metal signals, in case there is a trap in the trap, and then dig out after confirming that it is safe."
"Okay, Steven"
Derek nodded in response, and then put down the engineering shovel in his hand.
The same is true of another company employee who was at the bottom of the pit, and the excavation was temporarily stopped.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian asked someone to put a pulse metal detector down and put it at the bottom of the pit.
After getting the metal detector, Derek and the others immediately started to detect, scanning the bottom of the pit with the detector coil.
At this moment, Cole's voice suddenly came from the wireless invisible headset.
"Steven, the Germans staying in the hall of the Temple Palace came to us again, and strongly demanded to enter the basement to supervise and participate in the ongoing exploration operation, and everyone was very eager.
What do you think? Let the Germans go into the basement, or keep them barred in the halls of the Temple Palace? If you continue to obstruct them and don't give them a chance to participate, maybe it will lead to conflicts! "
Hearing the notification, Ye Tian didn't respond immediately, but thought about it.
After pondering for a while, he said in a low voice:
"Our actions in this basement cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Germans on the ground, and there is no way to hide the sound of the drilling machine and the sand, gravel and soil that are constantly being transported out of the basement.
You are right. Under such circumstances, if the Germans are not given any chance to participate in exploration and supervision, those Germans will probably be mad. After all, this is Berlin, Germany.
We can make a little concession, Cole, you can tell those Germans that they can send four people down to participate in and supervise the ongoing exploration operations, and we can only provide four suits.
As for which four people come down, it is up to them to decide. After arriving here, I can give them a general introduction, and then they will exit this basement and wait for news outside the door."
"Okay, Steven, I'm going to tell the Germans what you mean"
Cole responded and ended the call.
As soon as his voice fell, 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 towards the bottom of the pit, and said in a deep voice:
"You put the pulse metal detector aside first, and then continue to dig down along the direction of the granite steps, and scan the ground with the metal detector every time you go down a step.
Although no metal signal was detected at the bottom of the pit, no one can guarantee it. There are no other traps on these steps. Some traps do not have metal objects, but they are equally deadly, such as flip traps.
For the sake of safety, when digging down, you must be extremely cautious, be careful of your feet, it doesn’t matter if you slow down, safety is the first, you tie the safety rope around your waist, just in case”
"Understood, Steven, we will be careful"
Derek at the bottom of the pit nodded in response, and another company employee also nodded.
Next, Ye Tian asked his staff to put two safety ropes to the bottom of the pit, and Derek and the others tied the safety ropes around their waists.
The ends of the two safety ropes are tied to the two pillars in the corridor outside the basement door, which are very strong.
After tying the safety rope, Derek and the others picked up the engineering shovel again and continued to dig down.
After digging a few times, they made a new discovery.
"Steven, this is a step that slopes downwards. The steps below are made of granite and are basically preserved intact. However, the vault above the steps and the walls on both sides have been deliberately removed.
Looking at the direction of this step, it should lead to the side of the Spree River. If there is a bend in the middle, then I don’t know. There must be a big secret hidden deep in this granite step.”
At the same time as Derek introduced, Ye Tian and the others who were standing on the edge of the pit had already seen another granite step 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're right, the person or guys who smashed and backfilled this tunnel, went to such lengths to try to erase it, the secret they're trying to hide must be something big.
I have a hunch that if you dig a little further, you will see a complete secret passage, and that secret passage is likely to be sealed, and the thing that seals the passage may be a large stone slab.
Because of this, the pulse metal detector cannot scan any metal signal. Of course, there is another possibility that 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 the steps, while Ye Tian and the others stood on the edge of the pit, watching the situation at the bottom of the pit from a high position.
While talking, Derek and the others dug out another step, and several large buckets of sand were hoisted to the ground, and then dumped in another basement outside.
At this moment, under the leadership of Cole, four German guys in full protective suits filed in and entered the basement. Everyone was extremely excited and full of expectations.
The four Germans are the head of the Templar 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 the bishop of Kent immediately went up to meet them, and briefed the Germans on the general situation, and then led them to the edge of the pit.
When the Germans saw the granite steps that appeared at the bottom of the pit, their eyes lit up, as if they had discovered the gate to a new world.
