Chapter 3007 Volley Cutting

After completing the preliminary exploration, the tripartite joint exploration team returned to Dongola and did not stay in the valley for long.

A joint security team composed of Israeli military police, security personnel of the Daredevil Exploration Company, and the Sudanese police stayed in the valley, guarding this unknown treasure,

The next day, the tripartite joint exploration team rested in Dongola to prepare for the follow-up exploration operations.

During this period, Ye Tian took some of the company's employees, several archaeologists, and a team of security personnel to visit the nearby ruins of the ancient city of Dongola!

The ruins of this ancient city are in the desert south of Dongola. From the sixth to the fourteenth centuries, it was once the capital of the Christian kingdom Mukula.

In this ancient city ruins, Ye Tian discovered some things through perspective, which were buried deep underground.

However, he did not point out the existence of these things.

The reason is simple, this is a protected ancient city site.

Anything found here belongs to the Sudanese government until legal permission is obtained and a distribution plan is negotiated.

Naturally, Ye Tian would not do this kind of thing of making wedding dresses for others.

At noon the next day, an archaeological team temporarily organized by the Sudanese government rushed to Dongola in a hurry.

On the same day, after some negotiations, the Israeli government finally reached a verbal agreement with the Sudanese government after paying a certain price.

The Israeli government should come forward to acquire the half of the treasure belonging to the Daring One Exploration Company, and then cooperate with the Sudanese government to organize a joint exploration team to excavate and clear the treasure on the cliff of the valley!

However, there is a premise here.

The deal can only be completed only if the treasure on the valley cliff is not the legendary Solomon's treasure, has nothing to do with Solomon's treasure, and the Ark of the Covenant is not in that treasure.

After the Israeli government and the Sudanese government reached this verbal agreement, Joshua, on behalf of the Israeli government, reached a verbal agreement with Ye Tian, ​​agreeing on the deal.

That night, an archaeological team from Israel and several archaeologists rushed to Dongola by several helicopters.

Next, this new Israeli archaeological team will take over from Joshua and the others to excavate and clear the treasures on this cliff together with the Sudanese.

As for the tripartite joint exploration team, after unearthing the treasure and completing the general cleaning work, they will leave Dongola and continue south along the Nile Valley to explore other places.

Soon, the time came to the third day.

It was getting light, Ye Tian and the others came out of the hotel, ready to return to the valley southwest of Dongola, to dig and clean up the treasure hidden on the cliff.

There were only four or five employees of the Fearless Exploration Company participating in this operation, and the rest stayed in the hotel to rest.

The treasure hidden in that cave on the cliff, if it wasn't for the legendary Solomon's treasure, then they wouldn't be involved in the excavation and cleaning, just stay aside and supervise!

The one responsible for excavating and cleaning up the treasure is a new exploration team jointly formed by Israelis and Sudanese. They will take over all subsequent work, including archaeological research!

When Ye Tian and the others came out of the hotel, many media reporters who had been guarding the entrance of the hotel all night rushed up like a tide.

The news that the tripartite joint exploration team discovered the treasure near Dongola had been leaked two days ago, and everyone knew about it.

In fact, in a place like Sudan, it is almost impossible to keep secrets!

After the news was leaked, many treasure hunters who followed the joint exploration team, local residents of Dongola, and a large number of Sudanese from other places who heard the news, immediately poured out and poured into the desert southwest of Dongola !

After more than a day of searching, they finally found the valley and determined that the treasure was hidden in that valley!

However, the Sudanese army waiting in formation around the valley, as well as numerous Israeli security personnel, as well as the extremely steep terrain,

But blocked them all, unable to enter the valley at all!

They can only gather outside the valley, looking at the ocean and sighing!

Reporters from major news media gathered at the entrance of the hotel where the tripartite joint exploration team lived, waiting for the opportunity to conduct interviews here.

Fortunately, there were many Sudanese military police in charge of security at the entrance of the hotel, who stopped the swarming media reporters.

These guys could only stand outside the cordon, asking questions loudly.

"Good morning, Steven, I'm a reporter from the Sudanese National Television. Are you going to dig and clean up that mysterious treasure today? What are you going to do with that treasure? Can you tell us about it?"

"Good morning, Mr. Steven. I'm a reporter from the Jerusalem Post. May I ask, is the treasure found near Dongola by the tripartite joint exploration team the legendary Solomon's Treasure? Have you found the Ark of the Covenant? ?”

Hearing these questions, Ye Tian stopped immediately.

He quickly glanced at these media reporters, and then said loudly with a smile:

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, I am Steven, I am very glad to meet you here, and thank you for your concern, I hope you have a good day.

Regarding the treasure found near Dongola, I can tell you that this treasure is located on an extremely steep cliff. It can be said that it is a coincidence that this treasure can be found.

So far, we have only confirmed the existence of this treasure, but we are not sure what is hidden in the treasure. I don’t know if it is the legendary Solomon’s treasure, and is the Ark of the Covenant inside?

In view of this, it is too early to say what to do with this treasure! What is hidden in this treasure still needs further excavation and cleaning work to know the answer.

What I can tell you is that we are going to start the excavation and cleaning work today, please be patient, I believe that in a short time, everyone will know some details about this treasure.”

Hearing this introduction, many media reporters at the scene nodded.

Immediately afterwards, another reporter asked loudly.

"Hello, Mr. Steven, will you take half of this treasure as you did in Egypt before?"

Ye Tian did not respond to this question.

He just glanced at the reporter before boarding the Israeli military vehicle parked beside him.

Immediately afterwards, other people got into their cars one after another, drove away from the hotel, and headed straight for the valley in the southwest.

The media reporters who were guarding the hotel entrance, who were willing to give up, immediately drove up and followed them like a shadow!

Not only these media reporters, after the joint exploration convoy drove away from the street where the hotel is located, many vehicles parked on other streets followed immediately.

Like those media reporters, the guys in these vehicles also stayed here all night.

But they can't get close to the hotel, so they can only stay a little further away.

After the joint exploration convoy drove out of Dongola, many vehicles followed one after another. These vehicles appeared one after another as if they had suddenly emerged from the desert.

As various vehicles of unknown origin joined in one after another, the scale of this convoy became larger and mightier, heading for the desert in the southwest.

Looking at the large number of vehicles with different origins behind the convoy, everyone was speechless.

"I'll go! Who are the guys in those vehicles behind? I see that there are blacks, Arabs, and a lot of whites among them. All of them seem to come from bad intentions!"

David said with emotion, and looked at the rear of the convoy from time to time.

"The guys in those vehicles include those who followed us all the way south and came for Solomon's treasure, as well as people from various forces in Sudan and some armed tribes, including people from South Sudan.

Look, there are many things that must happen around this treasure hidden on the cliffs of the valley, and there may even be armed conflicts, but these things have nothing to do with us! "

Ye Tian said with a smile, his expression was very relaxed.

The fact is just as he expected!

In an SUV at the rear of the convoy, a black man in his thirties was staring at the joint exploration convoy ahead and reporting the situation to his immediate superior by phone.

"General, let's follow the tripartite joint exploration convoy and go to the valley southwest of Dongola to see what treasures are hidden in that valley!"

The next moment, a deep voice came from the phone.

"You must keep an eye on this tripartite joint exploration team. Once you find anything, call me immediately. We should have a share of the treasures buried in Sudan!"

"Understood, General, we will stare at this joint exploration team"

The black man responded with a stern light in his eyes.

The same scene was happening in some other vehicles behind the convoy, and the content was similar.

Although there were many vehicles following, the joint exploration convoy drove all the way without any accidents, such as encountering an ambush or something!

When the joint exploration convoy drove to a place about five kilometers away from the valley, everyone found that there was a checkpoint on the road, guarded by more than a dozen heavily armed Sudanese soldiers.

The last time the joint exploration convoy passed through here to return to Dongola, there was no such checkpoint!

Obviously, this is a checkpoint set up by the Sudanese military under the order of the Sudanese government to intercept and delay the vehicles following the joint exploration convoy.

Arriving here, the joint exploration convoy immediately slowed down and passed through the checkpoint slowly.

The media interview vehicles and other social vehicles that followed were stopped by the Sudanese military under various pretexts and inspected one by one.

By the time these vehicles passed the checkpoint, the Joint Exploration Convoy had long since disappeared, with no shadows to be seen.

Not long after, the joint exploration convoy came to the entrance of the valley again.

At this time, this place seemed to be an important military area, surrounded by many heavily armed Sudanese soldiers, and no one else was allowed to approach.

In addition to the Sudanese soldiers, there are many heavily armed Israeli military police here, but they have all removed the nationality marks on their coats and the signs of the Israeli army.

Ye Tian and the others got out of the car after the convoy stopped and it was confirmed that it was safe.

Next, with a large amount of exploration equipment and weapons and ammunition, they entered the valley again along the steep path and walked deep into the valley.

...

Soon, it was ten o'clock in the morning.

After some serious preparations, the work of excavating and clearing the treasure on the cliff will officially begin.

The people who are going to climb the cliff with a height of more than 100 meters are several rock climbing masters from Israel and Sudan, including both soldiers and civilian masters.

This time they started from the bottom of the cliff, followed the safe route explored by Ye Tian and the others, and headed towards the anti-bow area in the middle of the cliff.

After arriving there, they will use the three rock nails installed by Ye Tian before to fix their figures, and then cut the rock blocking the entrance of the cave.

After cutting the flaky rock, they will also install a cable drop device at the entrance of the cave so that the next exploration operation can start smoothly!

At the bottom of the cliff, these rock climbers from Israel and Sudan looked up one after another.

Looking at this steep cliff like a knife and an axe, each of them felt a burst of great pressure rushing to their faces, and at the same time excited.

Immediately afterwards, they looked back at Ye Tian who was sitting under a palm tree enjoying the shade, and everyone's eyes were full of admiration.

As professionals, they certainly know the dangers of climbing this cliff for the first time!

After a little emotional adjustment and some exercise, these rock climbers climbed up the steep cliff one after another and began to climb to higher places.

Due to the protection of the safety rope, there are many pre-installed pitons on this route.

For them, although this rock climbing looked thrilling, it was actually not that difficult.

After a while, they had climbed to the middle of the cliff, reached the anti-bow area, and then used safety ropes and pitons to fix their bodies!

Ye Tian, ​​who watched this scene through the telescope, waited for them to stabilize their figures, and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Matisse, you can hoist the cutting equipment to those guys!"

"Okay, Steven"

Mattis responded, and immediately acted.

Soon, the two cutting equipment were slowly suspended from the top of the cliff and gradually moved towards the middle of the cliff.

Due to the traction of the safety rope, there is no need to worry that the two cutting devices cannot reach the anti-bow area.

Soon, two rock climbing masters from Israel and Sudan got these two hand-held cutting devices.

At the same time, Ye Tian's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Guys, you are working at heights, and your feet are on the cliff, which is very unstable, so you must pay attention to safety when cutting rocks, and don't cut yourself or the climbing rope.

You don’t have to completely cut through the rock outside the gap, it’s better to leave a little connection around it, it’s safer, and then you can pry off the piece of rock with a crowbar at the end.”

"Understood, Steven, we know what to do!"

The two rock climbers responded.

Next, the two guys activated the handheld cutting equipment, took each side, and began to cut the flaky rock outside the rock crevice.

Everyone else, including Ye Tian, ​​could only stay in the valley, looking up at these two guys working at heights.

Fortunately, everything went very smoothly and there were no accidents!

After several rotations in succession, the flaky rock outside the unusually hidden gap has been cut all around.

As Ye Tian said before, those rock climbers didn't cut the rock completely, leaving a little space on each side to connect with the cliff.

Once they were done cutting, they hoisted the two hand-held cutting devices on side pitons so they could be used again.

Immediately afterwards, a master rock climber from Israel came to the side of the rock gap, took out a crowbar, and inserted it into the gap just cut.

The next moment, that guy pushed the crowbar down hard and pushed it towards the cliff!

Following his movement, the flaky rock blocking the entrance of the cave was immediately pried off, fell from a high altitude, and crashed to the valley floor.

Looking at this cliff with a height of more than 100 meters, there is a circular hole in the middle of the cliff!
