Chapter 489
As the entrance to the secret passage was opened, a filthy air immediately rushed out from the depths of the secret passage.
In the blink of an eye, this wave of dirty air had rushed to the ground and was immediately blown away by the wind.
Sensing this situation, Xiao Ran immediately waved his hand back and stopped the others who tried to approach the tomb.
"Samuel, Jack, don't go near this tomb to avoid accidents
" "The secret passage and secret room under the tomb have been closed for too long, accumulating a lot of
dirty air" "When these dirty air is discharged, it is not too late for you to come and check the situation"
Hearing this, Samuel and Jack immediately stopped and did not continue to step forward.
The rest of the people who tried to step forward to check the situation also stopped and looked at this side curiously.
Xiao Ran looked at the newly opened hole on the back wall of the tomb, and then said to the two subordinates:
"You continue to expand the hole, but don't enter this tunnel, no one knows if there is danger inside
" "Another point, when taking out those red bricks on the wall, you must be steady in your hands, and you can't let the red bricks fall into the tunnel, which may trigger the mechanism"
The two guys working at the bottom of the tomb immediately nodded.
"Understood, Sean, we'll be careful,"
he said, and they continued to demolish and expand the entrance to the tunnel.
The bricks they removed from the walls were hoisted from the ground and piled on the grass next to them.
After instructing the two subordinates, Xiao Ran immediately turned his head to look at Professor Baker.
"Baker, let's go over and see what's going on in the coffin, maybe we'll find something surprised
" "Okay, Sean,"
Professor Baker replied with a nod.
Then they left the mouth of the tomb and turned towards the oak coffin.
But instead of them, Samuel and Jack followed.
When they approached, Professor Adrian immediately began to introduce the situation.
"Gentlemen, this oak coffin contains the remains of a corpse that has lost its left leg
" "Judging by the linen that remains in the coffin, as well as a number of copper buttons and crosses, etc.
", "This body is indeed an American militiaman and should have died in the famous Battle of Bunker Hill
" "In addition to these things, there is a dagger in the coffin with the name of this militiaman engraved on it" "The name on the dagger,
Consistent with the name on the tombstone, the British colonists still pay great attention to details,"
Just as Adrian introduced the situation, Xiao Ran had already walked to the coffin and looked up into the coffin.
In this coffin, there lies a white bone corpse, but there is no left leg.
On the chest of the corpse lay a rusty cross, and the cowhide rope tied to the cross had long since been completely decomposed.
On the remaining linen coat of the corpse, which had long been tattered, there were also several rusty copper buttons.
Some of the buttons had fallen off the clothes and fell down the coffin board through the gaps in the bones of the corpse.
On the right waist of the corpse, a dagger that had long been rusted, among other things.
From these things, it can basically be determined.
The body was indeed an American militiaman and most likely died in the Battle of Bunker Hill.
For Xiao Ran, the things in the coffin were not very interesting, and he had already seen it clearly through perspective.
But for Professor Baker and Professor Samuel, the coffin was a small treasure.
Without exception, the history professors at Yale and Harvard University all lit up with excitement.
Seeing the situation in the coffin, Xiao Ran immediately said:
"Gentlemen, you slowly study this oak coffin and the contents of the coffin, I will go to
the tomb side" After speaking, he left here and walked towards the tomb side.
Samuel walked up to Professor Baker and whispered in a consultative tone
, "Baker, can you let us participate in the study of this treasure as well?"
"We don't seek dominance, we just want to know the relevant situation,"
Professor Baker replied very crisply, directly shaking his head and refusing the other party.
"I'm very sorry, Samuel, our cooperation with Sean is exclusive and does not accept any third party to join, including
Harvard" Hearing this, several professors at Harvard felt that the roots of their teeth were itching, but they were helpless.
No way, who let this treasure be discovered by others, he only has to look at it!
Xiao Ran just smiled and didn't say much.
The dispute between Harvard and Yale, he did not intend to mix.
For him, both Harvard and Yale are objects that can be used and cooperated, and there is no need to offend either party.
In particular, he has long coveted the large number of Chinese antique works of art in the Harvard University Museum and Library, as well as various precious rare books.
In the future, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely find a way to exchange those treasures and take them for himself.
Within three or two steps, he had reached the mouth of the tomb and looked at the bottom of the tomb again.
At this time, the entrance to the secret passage at the bottom of the tomb had become larger.
Standing above the tomb, you can see the steps in the secret passage.
On the steps made of red bricks, there was a layer of dust and patches of miserable green moss, which looked relatively slippery.
This situation could not be more normal and not surprising.
You know, this is Boston by the sea, and in the underground of Boston Common, the humidity is naturally very large.
In order to expel the dirty air deep in the secret passage and in the secret room as soon as possible, a powerful ventilation fan has been set up at the bottom of the tomb, which is rapidly replacing the dirty air underground.
Instead, fresh air from the outside world.
After a while, the air in this secret space deep underground has been completely replaced, and there is no threat.
In a moment, at the bottom of this tomb, there was an additional opening about 60 centimeters wide.
Seeing that the size of the cave entrance was similar and he could enter and exit smoothly, Xiao Ran stopped his employees.
"Okay, guys, it's okay that the cave
entrance is so big" "The space at the bottom of the tomb is limited, so you have to leave some places to stay and put things
" "Clean up the cave entrance, and then come up, prepare for the next move"
Hearing this, the two guys working at the bottom of the tomb immediately stopped demolishing.
"Okay, Sean, let's get up right away,"
he said, and the two guys cleaned up the bricks they had just removed and climbed up the ladder.
At this moment, Jack, who returned to the mouth of the tomb, couldn't wait to ask:
"Sean, is it time to enter this underground secret passage and explore that secret room deep underground?"
"If possible, I would also like to enter this underground tunnel and see for myself what secrets are hidden here?"
Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the other party, and then shook his head.
"Not so fast, Jack, we still have some preparations, we have to come step by step!"
"Only by preliminarily exploring
and determining the safety of this tunnel and the underground secret room, can we enter the Yong Road to explore" "For example, to determine whether the structure of the Yong Road and the secret room is solid, whether there is stagnant water, whether there are fatal traps, etc.
", "After doing these work, determining safety, and taking you into the underground secret room, it is not impossible!"
Before the words fell, Jack and they were all amazed.
"Wow! You are the top treasure hunting company, too thoughtful! "
It seems that everyone will have to wait a little longer to know what secrets or treasures are hidden in the depths of the land under their feet"
Xiao Ran nodded lightly, and then began to arrange the next move.
He summoned a few of his employees over and began to assign tasks to these guys.
"Guys, you first
use a small drone to fly this underground tunnel and check the situation in the tunnel" "At the same time, use a small drone to carry some lighting glow sticks into the tunnel and illuminate the inside
of the tunnel for observation" "Next, use the robot to do some safety tests to determine whether there are traps
in the tunnel and the secret room" "In addition, it is necessary to determine whether the structure inside the tunnel and the secret room is safe, Whether there is standing water and so on, deal with it one by one,......"
While he set the task, everyone else on the scene was secretly amazed.
In particular, the three professors of Harvard University listened to it, the more frightened they became, and the more they listened, the less confident they became.
Only then did they really realize it.
Xiao Ran how professional they are and how strong their abilities are.
They are becoming more and more pessimistic about the exploration competition that has begun.
If this situation continues, how can Harvard University have the slightest hope of winning!
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had completed the task.
After receiving the mission, several exploration team members immediately began to act.
They walked to the place next to where they placed the equipment, took out the exploration equipment they needed one by one, and began to set it up.
Soon, a small drone with a searchlight and a high-definition camera took off.
Then slowly descended to the bottom of the tomb and flew into the entrance of the secret passage that had just been opened.
In addition to high-definition cameras and searchlights, under the belly of this small drone, there are five or six fluorescent lighting rods lit in half.
As the small drone flew into the entrance of the secret passage, the situation inside the tunnel was immediately displayed on the monitoring screen.
On the grass next to the grave, a large-screen television had been set up, a device that had just arrived from the Ritz-Carlton.
Xiao Ran and they stood in front of the TV, watching with interest the real-time exploration picture on the TV screen.
As soon as it flew into the underground tunnel, under the control of the drone pilot, the small drone immediately released a lit fluorescent lighting stick.
The fluorescent lighting stick then fell, fell on the steps inside the tunnel, and then rolled down two steps and stopped on the third step.
At the same time, the searchlights carried by small drones have also sent light to this underground tunnel that has been closed for more than 200 years.
It is the same as previously detected with deep ground penetrating radar.
This underground tunnel is built unconventionally and can be called an underground building.
Both the steps and the walls on both sides are made of red brick and granite, which looks quite solid.
The vault above the tunnel is made of granite strips of stone, and all places are tightly seamed.
However, the inside of this tunnel is empty.
Nothing but dust and moss everywhere.
In the first half of the tunnel, there are only two round holes for torches, which are located on the walls on both sides.
Even so, the situation in this Yong Road still brought a lot of shock to everyone.
"Oh my God! It is unimaginable that deep underground in the central cemetery, there is such an underground structure!
"Obviously, the British colonists must have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build
this underground building" "But in the past two hundred years, this underground structure has been unknown at all, which is incredible!"
Professor Baker said in amazement, and his eyes lit up with excitement.
Hearing this, everyone else nodded in agreement.
At the same time, everyone is looking forward to the secrets or treasures hidden in this underground building.
As he spoke, the small drone in the depths of the Yongdao had flown to the bend of the Yongdao.
The next moment, the surveillance screen suddenly changed.
An even more shocking scene suddenly appeared on the surveillance screen.
