Chapter 391: Mustache's Submarine Museum
The helicopter rose and fell between the icebreaker and McDonald Island, and all possible supplies were hoisted near the blasted hole. The thick pipe connecting the blower extended all the way along the hole to near the submarine that hit the bottom, and more materials were added along the way.
It is equipped with high-power lighting.
Even a camera that can transmit the captured images to the icebreaker in real time is installed on each tripod with lights installed. All this looks professional and complicated, but in fact it is the same as that in Smooch.
There is not much difference between the excavation of German corpses in Lensk. Simply put, the richer the video data is, the higher the price can be sold.
All preparations were in place, except that Xianyu continued to guard the captive Henry, and the women stayed on the ship to deal with emergencies. The rest of the club plus half of the Nenets sailors followed Shi Quan and entered the "underground of McDonald Island" for the first time.
city".
With a "Crack" sound, He Tianlei used a large crowbar to open the partially concealed watertight compartments. He casually glanced into the submarine, but he almost fell in. "How could this happen?"
Shi Quan and Dayi Wan looked at each other and stepped on the temporary springboard to climb up to the submarine observation tower. But when they looked in along the hatch cover, they also showed incredible expressions. This is not a submarine, this special
It looks like a museum wrapped in a submarine shell!
The cabin, illuminated by flashlight light, was spacious and incomparable to that of a submarine. Almost all the equipment inside had been completely dismantled. Various picture frames or photo frames were hung on the walls on both sides.
The sloping deck caused the scattered exhibits that were originally supposed to be placed to slide to one end and blocked the watertight cabins. At the same time, the condensed water accumulated from years of water vapor attack also gathered here, so that it looked like it had been ravaged by a tornado.
.
At the other end of the sloping floor, the similarly locked watertight cabins not only indicate that there may be something important hidden inside, but also indicate the reason why this seesaw-like submarine with one end high and one low can still float on the water.
.
Finally, after glancing at the locked valves next to the bulkhead, Shi Quan frowned and said, "If we open the door of the submarine's head compartment, the submarine will sink."
"probably not"
At this time, Big Ivan had climbed up the deck to the very raised front end of the submarine. He was seen riding on the head of the submarine, shining a bright flashlight on the water surface and shouting, "It seems that the bottom here has been raised."
.”
Shi Quan turned his head in surprise and looked under the water, "I'll go down and take a look first."
"Let me do it!"
After He Tianlei finished speaking, he put on his mask and breathing valve and leaned back into the water. Within ten minutes, he emerged from the water and said, "There are rocks down there, and there is a big damage on the butt of the submarine.
It looks like it was burned through by the magma."
Why is there any hesitation? Shi Quan waited for He Tianlei to climb up the watchtower again along the springboard and made a decision directly, "Asak, prepare the water pump. Lei Zi, let's go down!"
"Wait for me! Let's go together!" Big Ivan rushed over from the corner, almost dangling in the middle before he stepped on the air and fell into the water.
He Tianlei took the lead, followed closely by Shi Quan and Da Yiwan. The three brothers entered the submarine along the ladder, and the situation inside became clearer.
In a position that they couldn't see just now, there was a long metal plate hanging. In the middle was a gold imperial eagle emblem the size of a rice bowl, with "The Great Mustache" written on the left and "Great Mustache" written on the right.
The Lost Empire".
Shi Quan and Da Yiwan grinned at such saucy words. It seemed that the rats hiding on the edge of the Antarctic had not given up yet.
Climbing on the slippery floor, the three of them spread out to look at the picture frames or photo frames hanging on the bulkhead. Many of the oil paintings hanging here have been corroded by water vapor and the content cannot be seen clearly, but those photo frames with glass still have
You can vaguely see the Reichstag Building in Germany during World War II, the Berlin Olympic Stadium, the anti-aircraft tower under fire, the Austenburg School, the exterior of the crowded Nuremberg Assembly Hall, and even Munich's Art House - the mustache painter's heart
Art sanctuary.
There are so many photos that reflect the most powerful period of Germany in World War II, and each one is large enough. The largest photo among them is not of a boy, but a color photo of cornflowers, but maybe it is
Because so much time has passed and the preservation environment is so poor, only a small part of this photo can be seen clearly.
On the other wall of the dismantled submarine with only its shell left, are various photos taken after Germany conquered other countries in World War II. These include the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Warsaw Palace, etc., but in these photos, without exception,
Everyone can vaguely see the German army of World War II or the flag with a swastika. And on this wall, the largest picture finally turned into a mustache.
"Should we go up or down first?" Big Iwan was the first to come to his senses and asked Shi Quan opposite.
"Let's go down first and find out the situation of this submarine first." Shi Quan said as he controlled his body to slide along the floor and into the pile of exhibits that had been soaked in water and could not see their original shape.
"This is no longer a submarine. It may be more accurate to say that this is a German museum." Big Ivan muttered, "But compared with your maritime museum, the tickets here are quite expensive. I hope
It’s not in vain.”
"Just talk about it." He Tianlei took the water pipe from Asak above his head and joked with a smile, "When you say that, I think this time is probably in vain."
"What I said is not that accurate..." Big Ivan muttered and forcefully changed the subject, "Do you want to take these photos and oil paintings back?"
"Forget it, they are all turned into rags and waste paper. The value of repairing them may be higher than the selling price." Shi Quan originally had no interest in so-called works of art, and many of the oil paintings were rotten and perforated.
Naturally, I don't want to waste energy on it.
As the water pump starts, the sewage accumulated in the submarine is filtered by the filter and then pumped outside and discharged into the channel, leaving only a pile of black mud.
The three of them dug around in the mud, and Big Ivan held up a shaped part with green rust remaining and said, "No need to dig through it, I probably know what was originally there."
"The urban architectural model of the Germania Project?" Shi Quan guessed the answer at the first glance when he saw the model in Ivan the Great's hand.
Big Ivan nodded, showed the copper piece in his hand and said, "This is the auditorium roof model of the circular building designed by Mustache and Speer together. This building was originally expected to be completed the day before Mustache's 61st birthday in 1950.
It’s finished.”
"Can you two tell just from this?" He Tianlei shook off the mud on his hands and asked in disbelief.
"It's common sense"
Big Ivan casually threw the parts in his hand into the mud again, "Mustache made many urban architectural models of the Germania Project during World War II, but not many of them have been completely preserved to this day. If these models can be preserved to this day,
But it can be sold for a big price.
If there is a complete set, it can easily be sold for more than 500,000 US dollars. A collector once bought a dome building model for a price that even exceeded the market price of the best apartment in Munich.
"
"So exaggerated?" He Tianlei's eyes widened.
“It mainly depends on the material”
Shi Quan then explained, "Relatively speaking, the cheapest ones are made of plastic, while those made of wood are relatively more expensive. There are also those made of metal or stone, which are more expensive and rare."
"Okay, Mr. He, class time is over, open the door!" Big Iwan urged in a strange tone.
Upon hearing this, Hei Tianlei took out a crowbar, jack and chemical cleaning agent from his bag, and after a lot of effort, he managed to open the rusty watertight cabins.
The water in this section of the cabin is as high as the water outside the submarine. In the last small space that is not flooded, you can still see the German weapons of World War II hanging on the walls on both sides.
Although these weapons are severely rusted, it can still be seen that the equipment given to them was very sophisticated. Except for the MP40 submachine gun, the rest that can be seen are basically STG44 assault rifles and G43 rifles with scopes. This is almost
It was Germany's most advanced individual weapon at the time.
Unfortunately, these weapons have all been corroded with the submarine itself due to being soaked in sea water for a long time. The three people put on the breathing valves of their masks and dived underwater. They could also see boxes of ammunition and a small bullet retrieval machine.
Installation production line.
There is nothing of value here. The three of them gestured to each other and dived to the watertight hatch at the bottom. The hatch of this door had already fallen to one side. Looking at the torn marks on the "door frame", it was obvious that something had happened to the cabin behind it.
Violent explosion.
Sure enough, when they swam through the hatch one by one, the first thing they saw was the large hole torn in the bulkhead and the remaining submarine batteries. And when they swam further from here, all they saw was the volcano after the magma solidified.
stone.
Returning to the cabin under the watchtower with some disappointment, He Tianlei locked the hatch again, and Shi Quan looked at Big Ivan with strange expressions. In the end, both of them sighed in unison. This guy's mouth must have been opened!
"This...isn't there a front..."
Before Big Iwan took off his mask and finished speaking, Shi Quan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's not easy for us to come all the way here. Please be gentle and don't make everyone's trip in vain."
"I..." Big Ivan muttered and extended a middle finger, with a sad face and finally did not dare to say anything else.
After taking a short rest, the three of them took off the oxygen bottles and flippers on their backs, put on their shoes, and helped He Tianlei open the first hatch on the submarine's head.
"Wow!"
As the cabin door opened, various books tilted down one after another, including some large ones. Big Iwan quickly picked up one with quick hands, but before he could see clearly what was written on the cover, he was attracted by this "book"
Chapter completed!
