Chapter 1828 The only Iron Box
This gold is of the same size as the gold that Qin Yang found when he was looking for swords in the sacred mountain, but the weight of each box is much smaller, perhaps to facilitate transportation and storage.
"My God, this is too much gold."
Situ Xiang is not someone who has never seen money. Her Huanyu Group has a market value of more than 10 billion, but she has never seen so much gold.
The piles of golden gold are enough to arouse the greed in anyone's heart.
Situ Xiang quickly walked forward in the passage with a flashlight, and then roughly counted: "There are at least six or seven hundred boxes piled up here, and ten boxes hold a ton of gold. That means there are at least six or seventy boxes here." A ton of gold, based on the current market value, is worth at least several billion."
Qin Yang took a breath, calmed down, and said with a smile: "Yes, but if converted into U.S. dollars, it is less than one billion, which is not too much money. Perhaps the hundreds of boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings in front are compared to these gold More valuable…”
When Situ Xiang thought about it, it seemed to make sense. The huge impact brought by gold before was suddenly weakened a lot. After all, Qin Yang had directly donated cultural relics worth no less than this batch of gold to the country. Then think about it again It seems that's all it is...
"You are right, antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times. In today's prosperous times, good antiques are indeed more valuable than gold...Okay, let's see what else is more valuable. I think this gold should It’s not the most valuable thing here…”
Qin Yang smiled: "Gold is only a gram, so it is not very valuable among treasures. According to historical records, what Rommel collected and plundered was not only gold, but also a large number of various gemstones and diamonds. Perhaps this is what is inside The most valuable thing nowadays!”
Situ Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Look for it."
Women are definitely more interested in diamonds and gemstones than gold. After all, like diamonds, a diamond of several carats is worth more than gold. It is expensive on one hand, but the key is that it is beautiful!
The three people continued walking along the cave, and after walking for a while, they found that this row of caves had reached the end, and at the end, another stone staircase appeared, leading downwards.
Qin Yang shined his flashlight on the top of the stone staircase and frowned as he looked carefully: "This cave seems not to have been completely excavated. There are no traces of human excavation in many places in this cave..."
Situ Xiang also stopped, shining the flashlight on the wall and observing for a long time: "It is true that most of the middle and lower parts were excavated, like this stone staircase, but many of the upper parts were there before. Maybe there is a treasure house underneath. It was originally an underground cave they discovered and then rebuilt! ”
Qin Yang nodded and continued walking down the stone staircase. After walking a few steps, he stopped again: "Underground cave?"
Situ Xiang looked at Qin Yang in astonishment, not knowing why he stopped, and asked strangely: "Yes, isn't this obviously the original cave? It was just modified and enlarged. Isn't this what you just said? Do you mean?"
Qin Yang's expression was a little strange: "That's what I meant, I just suddenly remembered something else..."
"Um?"
Qin Yang said softly: "The group of people we met used explosives to blow up the big hole. The bottom of the big hole obviously leads to the ground. The cave seems to stretch downwards. Do you think they will find the bottom of the cave? Are the underground caves connected?"
"Connected?"
Situ Xiang's eyes widened with surprise: "We are eight kilometers apart here. If they are connected, wouldn't this be an extremely huge underground cave, or in other words, an underground world?"
Qin Yang smiled and said: "How is this impossible? Although human beings have developed very powerful science and technology, there are still two places that cannot be fully understood, the underground and the seabed...the inner earth world, the underwater world, and Who can fully explain what is going on? Just like I mentioned before, who can fully understand the amount of fresh water stored deep under the Sahara Desert?”
Situ Xiang blinked and said worriedly: "If this cave is really connected, wouldn't it be possible for them to find it from the other end?"
Qin Yang was not too worried: "Even if the underground passage really exists, it must be connected in all directions or blocked in many places. It cannot be as smooth as a water pipe. You must be able to walk from one entrance to another. You go Passing through the cave in the middle of the mountain?”
Situ Xiang shook his head: "I haven't been there."
Qin Yang smiled and said: "I have walked before, walking in from the entrance on one side of the mountain, and then walking out from the entrance on the other side. There is no light and no roads inside. Some are on slopes, some are stone holes, and there are breaks in the middle. The explorers used ropes or planks to connect the bridges, and finally penetrated the entire cave. The underground world was collapsing everywhere, and the chance of finding a clear road was extremely slim. "
After a slight pause, Qin Yang flashed the flashlight in front of him: "Anyway, let's explore this cave and find out if it's connected to other places?"
"Um!"
Situ Xiang said no more and continued to move forward, while Lucian followed the two of them like a good baby, looking left and right curiously.
The two of them descended another forty or fifty meters along the passage, and their sight suddenly widened again, and they saw another cave with a similar appearance.
The area of this cave is much smaller than that of the cave above. When the flashlight is swept over, the boxes seen are also much smaller than the ones above. However, this box is not a simple wooden box, but each one is wrapped and stapled with iron sheets. It looks stronger and stronger.
Qin Yang opened a box nearby and found that it contained all kinds of treasures plundered by the army.
Thick pearl necklaces, beautiful gold ornaments, and things inlaid with various gemstones, such as gemstone rings and gemstone crowns, are all mixed together and wrapped in tarpaulin. These things are illuminated by the bright light of the flashlight. Colorful lights shine below.
Qin Yang closed the lid and walked around the cave, scanning the surroundings with his flashlight, and finally stopped at the stone wall.
A tin box stood there quietly.
This is the only iron box and the largest box in this cave.
Qin Yang walked over, stopped in front of the iron box, stretched out his hand to wipe the dust on it, turned around and said with a smile: "Judging from the value and strength of the box, maybe the things in this box should be the most valuable things here. …”
Situ Xiang looked delighted: "We can't carry too much, but with such a box, we can definitely carry it!"
