Chapter 1876 The secret passage under the slate
Just as Ye Tian guessed, the granite stone that was lifted was under the ground, and it was a piece of gray-black soil mixed with a lot of sand and gravel, rather than a secret passage that went straight to the depths of the ground.
Seeing this result, everyone at the scene couldn't help feeling disappointed, as if a basin of cold water was poured on their heads, and their emotions immediately became depressed.
Unlike everyone's reaction, Ye Tian's face was not disappointed. He was carefully looking at the land under the granite stone, trying to find something.
After a while, he reached out and grabbed a handful of soil mixed with sand and twirled it gently.
As the soil slid down his fingers and fell back to the ground, he suddenly said excitedly:
"The situation is not right. The soil here is too dry and lacks water vapor, and it seems to lack a little vitality. If I guess correctly, there is probably a stone slab underneath that separates the water vapor coming from the ground.
As for what is under the stone slab, it is hard to say now. Only by digging out the soil and lifting the stone slab below can you know the truth. I hope it is a surprising discovery!”
When everyone's eyes suddenly lit up when they heard Ye Tian's words.
The disappointment that had just stopped on everyone's face disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared before, replaced by hope.
"What are you waiting for? Steven, dig up here quickly and see what is buried underneath. If there is really a treasure, it would be perfect!"
Earl Boger said excitedly, looking impatient.
Ye Tian looked at this person, glanced at everyone at the scene, and then said with a smile:
"Then let's dig up here and see what you can find. Jason, go to the top to get two engineer shovels and bring down the small drone, which should be available later.
Peter, Derek, you guys come and help. Let's move the granite stones next to you and make room for work so that these big guys won't get in the way later!"
"Okay, Steven"
Everyone responded in unison, and then began to act separately, each performing his duties.
Soon, more than twenty minutes passed.
This wine cellar with elegant decoration, elegant oak fragrance and mellow taste of red wine, has already added a large pit about 1.5 meters deep, and a hill like a mound of soil.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others were standing at the edge of the big pit, watching the situation at the bottom of the pit, and everyone looked excited.
As Ye Tian said, at the bottom of the pit in front of him, there was indeed a granite stone slab, about one meter long and two meter wide, and very thick, lying quietly at the bottom of the pit.
"Steven, what's under that slab? Could it be that it's really a secret passage leading to the depths of the ground?"
Bishop Kent asked in a low voice curiously, his eyes full of anticipation.
"This possibility is very high. You see, the surroundings of the stone slab at the bottom of the pit have been specially reinforced with granite and concrete. It is obviously done deliberately to support the stone slab on it.
However, if there is something under the stone slab at the bottom of the pit, you still need to lift the stone slab to continue to explore. No matter what is hidden under the stone slab, it is close to us!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, looking confident.
While saying this, he had used a safety lock to tie the climbing rope around his waist. The other end of the safety rope was tied to a granite stone that he had lifted open before.
The granite stone weighs 600 to 700 kilograms and is lying on the floor without moving. It is the most suitable for tying a safety rope.
After tied the safety rope and confirmed that there were no hidden dangers, Ye Tian went down to the bottom of the pit.
Standing at the bottom of the pit, he first observed the situation at the bottom of the pit, then walked to the stone slab, held the edge of the stone slab with both hands, and slowly lifted the heavy stone slab.
Almost the moment he lifted the slab, a dirty and musty air suddenly rushed out from under the slab, and in a blink of an eye the entire wine cellar filled the entire wine cellar.
Fortunately, everyone was wearing protective clothing and gas masks at this time, so they were not worried about any unexpected harm.
Moreover, the air conditioning system in the wine cellar was running, constantly changing the air. The dirty air that rushed out from the depths of the ground was pumped out in a blink of an eye and discharged outside.
"Bang"
Ye Tian completely lifted the heavy stone slab and turned it to the ground next to it, making a muffled sound.
At the original position of the stone slab, a hole that was one meter square suddenly appeared, extending downwards inclined to the darkness, not knowing where it leads.
Without any surprise, the scene exploded immediately and everyone cheered excitedly.
"Wow! There is indeed a secret passage here. I don't know where this secret passage leads to. What is hidden at the end of the secret passage? Is it a treasure of the Knights Templar?"
"This secret passage is so secret. If it weren't for Steven, we would never have discovered it. I'm sure there must be some important secret hidden in this secret passage, or a treasure that could shock the world!"
Hearing the constant cheers and discussions from the wine cellar, the French guys in the corridor outside the wine cellar, everyone's heart was as if they were scratched by a cat, and they were extremely curious!
However, they could only stretch their necks and look into the wine cellar, but they could not enter. The armed security personnel guarding the door of the wine cellar did not give them any chance.
Return to the wine cellar and back to the exploration scene.
After the cheers fell a little, Ye Tian, who was standing at the bottom of the pit, immediately said:
"Jason, give me the air detector. I'll check the air condition in this secret passage and then decide on the next move."
"Okay, Steven"
As he said that, Jason took the air detector and reached out to Ye Tian, who was standing at the bottom of the pit.
Next, Ye Tian hung a rope and put the air detector into the secret passage that was shrouded in darkness and had been closed for hundreds of years.
Two or three minutes later, he lifted the air detector up, began to view the detection data displayed on it, and then said aloud:
"The air in this secret passage is very dirty, closed for at least several hundred years, and there is no ventilation system. The depth of the secret passage is probably a purely anaerobic environment, and even a lot of toxic gases are accumulated.
If we want to enter this secret passage that we don’t know where we can go, we must completely replace the air inside, then wear protective clothing, gas mask and oxygen cylinder to enter it.
Is there any mechanism trap deep in the secret passage? It’s hard to say now. At least there is no mechanism trap in the few meters at the entrance. I didn’t detect the metal signal just now, and the entrance is still safe.”
Hearing his words, Bishop Kent, who was standing on the floor of the wine cellar, immediately responded:
"Since that's the case, how can we start our exploration and understand the situation deep in the secret passage? Steven, what good way do you have?"
Ye Tian looked at the cardinal who was full of expectations, and then smiled and said:
"Don't be impatient, Bishop Kent, let's go step by step. Time is that this secret passage has been opened. Things hidden in this secret passage will never grow wings and fly, and we will see it soon.
Jason, you bring a fan to replace the air in this secret passage. After the air in the secret passage is replaced, then you can control the drone to fly into the secret passage to detect the situation deep in the secret passage.”
"Okay, Steven"
Jason responded, then took a replacement fan and handed it to Ye Tian who was standing at the bottom of the pit.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a small drone and began to debug.
