Chapter 692 Second Floor
The boxes in the tomb are the same as what Du Fei guessed before.
All the boxes are filled with silver dollars, not only "Zhanren", but also "Yingyang", "Yuan Datou", "Great Qing Silver Coins"...
After counting, only the two ear chambers and the middle chamber were cleared out, and there were more than 400 boxes, with a total of nearly 500 million.
And these, compared to the boxes in the back room, are less than one-third.
In other words, if the boxes in the back room were also filled with silver coins, the total number of silver dollars hidden here would exceed 600 million!
It even reached 800 million!
However, just as the engineer battalion was preparing to continue clearing the silver dollars in the back room.
The third company commander, Yang Xiucheng, trotted over, saluted Gong Yong, and shouted "report!"
At this time Du Fei stood with Gong Yong.
Needless to say, the efficiency of the engineer battalion is quite high!
A simple passage was built overnight, and the silver coins were cleared from the tomb, and then transported to the trucks down the mountain, and transported back to the city in batches.
At this time, it was only one o'clock in the middle of the night, and nearly a third of it had been completed.
If this progress is followed, it is estimated that the task will be completed by tomorrow morning.
But at this moment Yang Xiucheng rushed over, making Gong Yong frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Yang Xiucheng's status is somewhat special. He is a college graduate who majored in civil engineering, and he is a technical talent that the army focuses on training.
So when Yang Xiucheng came running, Gong Yong had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Yang Xiucheng reported: "Comrade Battalion Commander, there are some situations down below, I think we should stop for a while."
Gong Yong frowned: "What's the situation?"
Although he was unwilling in every possible way, he couldn't, and didn't dare to ignore Yang Xiucheng's words.
Because the lessons of history told him that if he didn't listen to Comrade Xiucheng's words, he would be in trouble!
Yang Xiucheng looked at Du Fei at the side, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Battle Commander, the bottom of this tomb seems to be empty!"
Both Du Fei and Gong Yong were taken aback, even a little unbelievable.
Yang Xiucheng added another sentence: "According to the current situation, the back room is too heavy and the geological conditions are very unstable. I'm afraid..."
He didn't say what he was afraid of, but a fool could understand that he was afraid of landslides.
Gong Yong didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly asked: "Then what do you think should be done?"
Yang Xiucheng said: "Remove everyone immediately, and leave homework for one class. Be careful to handle it with care."
In fact, he didn't say that it's best to stop now and evacuate everyone.
But Yang Xiucheng is not stupid, he knows how important the task tonight is, a little late, maybe it's nothing, but he must not stop.
Gong Yong hesitated for a moment, but nodded resolutely for the safety of the soldiers.
But Du Fei interjected: "Comrade, you said the floor is empty?"
Yang Xiucheng nodded, and subconsciously straightened his back.
He thought that Du Fei disagreed with his point of view and wanted to challenge his authority, but this was his specialty and he had absolute confidence.
Du Fei was not interested in arguing with him, he was concerned about another issue.
Then asked: "Then what do you think, is the bottom eroded by flowing water, or was it built like this?"
Yang Xiucheng was clear about it, and said in a deep voice: "This...you mean, there is a second floor under the back room?"
Du Fei nodded.
It also reminded him of what Yang Xiucheng said just now.
Why is there only silver dollars in this tomb and no other rare treasures?
If there is a secret room under the back room, where all other kinds of treasures are, it would make sense!
And Du Fei always had a doubt in his heart.
What is the use of collecting so many badges from Prince Qing's Mansion before?
And this time, Bang Gan'er found the gold belt from that corpse.
All the previous clues can prove that these badges of Prince Qing's Mansion have a certain meaning, which is the key to finding Prince Qing's treasure back then.
But up to now, half of the tomb has been emptied, but those badges have not been used from the beginning to the end.
If there is still a secret room here, and the switch to enter the secret room is the badge of these palaces, wouldn't it be very reasonable!
However, these speculations are somewhat taken for granted.
And he came in such a hurry this time, he only brought Xiao Hong, not his subordinates.
If you want to use Xiaohong to re-recruit an army of mice nearby, this time will not be too short.
Since there was no hope, Du Fei simply said it directly, to see if Gong Yong's engineer battalion could find the entrance to the secret room below.
After listening to Du Fei's words, Yang Xiucheng frowned and thought for a while: "This possibility is also very high, but the most urgent task now is to evacuate most of the people, and it won't be too late to discuss this after the boxes are emptied."
Du Fei let out a "hmm" and didn't say any more.
Anyway, he's said all that needs to be said.
Du Fei returned to the ground together with the engineers who had withdrawn from the inside.
At this time, only one platoon of soldiers remained below, and the efficiency of transportation dropped significantly.
Until the next morning, half of the boxes in the back room had not been cleared out.
And the further you go to the back, the more difficult it is to handle.
Because the back room had been flooded, many of the boxes below were simply crushed, and all the silver coins inside were scattered.
There is no way, the engineers can only use a shovel to shovel the large pile of silver coins into the soil basket first, and then pick them out with a pole.
This time it is less efficient.
However, as a large number of silver dollars were moved out, the danger of the back chamber collapse was basically eliminated.
After dawn, Gong Yong added another platoon of people to go immediately, trying to transfer all the silver coins out before noon.
At the same time, Yang Xiucheng wrote and drew in it.
In his notebook, he has drawn a three-dimensional view of the entire tomb, and marked several places in the back room and the middle room.
Du Fei looked at it, and it was Yang Xiucheng who thought it might be the entrance to the lower floor.
Although he didn't know who the person who built this tomb was.
But as far as the building structure is concerned, these places are the most economical.
Du Fei didn't take it seriously after reading it.
Yang Xiucheng's professional skills are definitely fine, but he has no basic understanding of Prince Qing, a wealthy family of noble origin.
Prince Qing's lineage, whether it's Yikuang or Zaizhen.
When do they need to consider 'affordable'?
Sure enough, after the last batch of silver coins was shipped out.
According to Yang Xiucheng's instructions, the soldiers of the engineering battalion began to look for the entrance to the next floor.
As expected, I tried three points in a row, and all of them died after they were cut open.
This can't help but make Yang Xiucheng suspicious. Could it be that he guessed wrong?
There is no second floor below at all, but because of years of flash floods, the mountain has been hollowed out?
Yang Xiucheng expressed his thoughts.
Gong Yong looked at Du Fei and asked, "Comrade Du Fei, what do you think?"
Before he came, he was ordered to report to Du Fei.
It is equivalent to temporarily handing over their command to Du Fei. Although Du Fei did not exercise his rights, it does not mean that Gong Yong can ignore his opinions.
(I'm in a hurry today, updating the number of words will have some impact, try to make up in the evening or tomorrow)
