11 Mysterious Gold Medal "Brother Feng, do you want... do you want to go down to the well and take a look now?" Su Lun suddenly became interested and pointed to the brightly lit wellhead, his face turned red due to excessive excitement. The carnival people had already been
Disperse and go back to the tent to sleep. There are only two special forces holding submachine guns standing guard at the entrance of the well.
"Isn't it necessary? Wouldn't it be better to go down the tunnel with Gu Ye and his group early tomorrow morning?" I still have lingering fears about that tunnel that has always been in trouble.
"No, I want to go now and see if there are any more discoveries before drilling starts."
I was suddenly shocked, because the shadow of Tengjia's disappearance had not been completely erased from my mind. Su Lun's current behavior seemed to be influenced by some mysterious thing, otherwise she would not have rashly asked to go down the well immediately. Her
Her forehead was giving off a faint sheen, her cheeks were as red as the perfect red Fuji apples on the branches, and her eyes were radiating bright light.
"Su Lun, are you okay? I suggest you go back to the tent, drink a cup of coffee, sleep for another four or five hours, and wait until Gu Ye informs us to go down to the well. How about that?"
Her chest bulged, and she whispered with great excitement: "Brother Feng, if the entrance to the pyramid is really opened tomorrow, then tonight is the last night for its complete existence on the earth. Let's go down the well.
Searching will have extremely important commemorative significance. Forget it, you are too timid to go, I can go by myself..."
This provocation method is ineffective for me, but I am wondering, what force made Su Lun so excited? Was it like my last adventure, did she also hear the drums and calls alone?
"Su Lun, what did you see? What did you hear?"
I subconsciously grabbed her wrist and looked westward. Suddenly, I had another inappropriate question: "Why should the scalpel start digging from here? When choosing the location of the shaft, if it is properly placed in the cracked soil
Between the Pyramid of Khan and the Pyramid of Khufu, wouldn’t it be possible to have both sides, in the same shaft, go south to the Pyramid of Tulif Khan and go north to the Pyramid of Khufu?”
According to the excavation data disclosed by the Egyptian authorities, the excavation work of the Pyramid of Khufu can barely be considered to have reached one-third. In fact, from the published cross-section diagram of the underground tomb, any expert with common knowledge of tomb robbing can deduce that
In the vertical direction of the underground tomb, there are at least three levels of underground structures, which can reach nearly a thousand meters underground.
If the foundation is unstable, the superstructure will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of hurricane sand. This is a truth that any desert architect understands.
According to the calculation of architectural principles, if you want to recreate the same building near the Pyramid of Khufu, if its foundation is in the form of cement cast piles, it will have to go at least 800 meters underground. Therefore, a rough conclusion can be drawn - "
The portion of the Pyramid of Khufu buried underground cannot be less than 500 meters."
No one would dare to build such a huge building on the surface of the desert sand. The mathematics and architecture of the ancient Egyptians were highly developed. Wouldn't they not even understand this principle?
"Brother Feng, I'm fine!" Su Lun shook off my hand.
In the shadows on the side of the tent, there was a sudden flash of light from a cigarette butt. It turned out that someone had been crouching there and eavesdropped on our conversation.
"Who?" I shouted angrily.
The man stamped out his cigarette butt, walked out with his back hunched over, and smiled ingratiatingly: "Mr. Feng, it's me, Long."
Before he even got close, I was already dizzy from the smell of local wine in his mouth. He was still wearing the shabby work clothes, with a wine bottle stuck sideways in the big left pocket, looking like a standard dirty drunkard.
appearance.
"Mr. Feng, we will evacuate the construction site tomorrow. I came to see you. I have something to show you. Maybe you will be interested?" He raised his dirty right fist and shook it, indicating that something was there.
In the palm of your hand.
"What?" I covered my nose with my hands in disgust. I always avoid such slovenly drunkards and don't want to have any contact with them at all.
He shook his fist again and sniffed loudly.
The special forces in the direction of the wellhead noticed the movement here, and shined a powerful flashlight over them, but after seeing clearly that it was me, they quickly moved the light beam away.
"If you have something to say, hurry up and bring something out. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense." I was still paying attention to whether Su Lun's emotions would intensify further. People like Long only have money in their eyes.
Fraudulent money with some weird things is their most common way to make money.
I stamped my feet vigorously on the ground. The night temperature in the desert was very low. I felt that my feet in leather shoes were almost in danger of freezing. I just wanted to drag Su Lun into the tent as soon as possible and get into my sleeping bag to keep warm.
However, when Long reluctantly opened his palm, my eyes suddenly lit up, and Su Lun had already blurted out: "The Emperor's gold medal? Where did it come from? Where did you find this thing?"
It was a one-inch-square white metal sign. On the upward side, a blooming cherry blossom was engraved, and next to it was engraved the word "Sakura" in smooth Japanese. Japan is the only "Sakura Country" on the earth, and its domestic
The variety of cherry blossoms is the best in the world, and the variety engraved on the metal plate, with its petals turned outward and shaped like a seven-pointed star, is called the "God-given flower". It is exclusively cultivated and viewed by the Japanese royal family, so it is also known by the world.
It is called the "Flower of the Emperor".
Long's palms quickly clenched, he chuckled and said nothing.
I have dealt with him once and know that if you want him to talk, only U.S. dollars are the most effective.
After I paid my first hundred-dollar bill, Long finally spoke: "Last night, when I was cleaning up the debris at the final stage of the tunnel project, I went down with my pickaxe and dug into the outer wall of the pyramid, and suddenly I found something in a stone crevice.
Got it."
It was indeed strange to find something belonging to the Japanese royal family so deep underground, but I didn’t think of it elsewhere. Suddenly, I heard Su Lun’s teeth chattering, and her hand turned around and clasped mine hard.
on the wrist.
"What's wrong? Are you cold?" I asked worriedly, fearing that she would be possessed by some "dirty thing" or get some strange disease.
Su Lun shook his head, his face turned pale, and weakly motioned for Long to continue.
Long successfully got the second hundred-dollar bill, and continued: "It is tied to a certain chain, and the chain is deep in the crack of the stone. I was anxious, and pulled hard, and the chain broke. I only took
It’s a bit strange to see this sign. Once the chain was broken, it quickly fell into the crevices of the rocks.”
There was only so much information he could provide, and he kept shaking his fists as he told it, as if the thing was evidence of his magical experience.
"Sell it...sell it to us? How about...?" Su Lun leaned on me and was trembling violently.
"Sell it to you? No, Yelan said, he will pay 50,000 US dollars to buy this thing, and resell it to Japan, where the price will at least double. Unless, unless you can offer 80,000 US dollars, there is no need to discuss it.
!”
I know that this nonsense talker is asking for a lot of money. If this brand is really an Emperor's gold medal made of platinum, the value will not exceed 20,000 US dollars at most.
Because my mind has been thinking about Su Lun's strange changes, my mind is not on that brand.
In fact, there is an obvious question here - "Why is the brand on the outer wall of the pyramid? How could the chain be embedded in the stone cracks? Unless the gold medal got stuck on the outer wall when the chain entered the pyramid, so it was
It will be exposed. Then, what is the end of the chain hooked in the crack of the stone?"
Most importantly, which Japanese royal family member does the chain belong to?
Obviously, the only local royal family member is the "Miss Toka" whom Tanino accidentally mentioned. No matter which family she is a princess from, since she is honored as "princess", it is definitely possible to have such an emperor's gold medal.
Then, a more shocking answer emerged: "The missing Miss Tengjia has entered the pyramid, and the chain is stuck outside."
This logical inference is not strictly logical. It was only half an hour later, when Su Lun, Long and I were walking in the underground tunnel that we calmed down and slowly figured it out.
After I wrote a check for 100,000 US dollars, I not only bought the chain, but also bought Long's 24-hour working time and asked him to take us to the place where the chain was found.
The two special forces at the wellhead were easily bribed with two thousand dollars. Besides, their mission was only to prevent external forces from invading the camp. Su Lun and I were VIPs of Gu Ye, and Long was the small boss of the construction site. Of course, they had no reason to stop us.
The three of them went down the well.
Now, I hold that gold medal in my hand. On the back, there is the iconic pattern of "Chrysanthemum and Katana" of the Japanese royal family. Regardless of its platinum circulation value, the brand itself is a piece of exquisite art.
Taste.
"She definitely belongs to Miss Toka, because during the eavesdropping on the conversation between Tanino and Toshio Watanabe, Tanino was heard asking the other party such a question - 'Is the girl wearing the Emperor's gold medal really a princess?'
Although the emperor is not as romantic as the monarchs of other countries, it should be the most normal thing for a powerful man like him to have three or five illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters. Brother Feng, the problem now is that she
How could you...enter the pyramid?"
Su Lun lowered his voice for the last few words to avoid frightening the dragon.
Think about it, when Ms. Toga disappeared, there was at least a hundred meters of mud and sand blocking the end of the tunnel from the outer wall of the pyramid. She might have crawled through this sand like an earthworm or a pangolin, but
I absolutely can't imagine how she could get into the crevices of the rocks.
Even if she had a thousand special powers, she would not be able to turn into a gust of wind or a small insect and sneak into the pyramid like Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West".
"Impossible! Impossible!" Unknowingly, I gritted my teeth and screamed.
"What's impossible?" Su Lun pinched my wrist. I don't know since when, we have been walking hand in hand.
"Nothing is impossible in the world! As long as you acknowledge its real existence, you don't have to use current physics theories to try to explain it, right?"
