Chapter five hundred and twentieth eight tons of gold
The entrance of the cave is fifty or sixty meters away from the bottom of the hollow mountain. The granite wall is steep, almost at a right angle to the horizontal plane, and one must use a rope to slide down.
Fortunately, the treasure hunting team brought a long enough rope, and the rope was passed to Yang Chen. Yang Chen nailed the end of the safety buckle, and then threw the entire rope down.
"I'll get off first..."
Yang Chen grabbed the flashlight with one hand and the rope with the other. He slid down first at an extremely fast speed, almost free-falling. He was three meters above the ground. He used his hands and feet to clamp the rope. He froze suddenly and immediately jumped down to prevent the rope from being damaged.
If the force is too strong, Yang Chen will fall to the ground, and only the people behind him can come down.
In three to five minutes, more than a dozen people slid down, and a few people were left at the entrance of the cave to take care of them. At this time, Yang Chen had discovered that the bottom of the hollow mountain looked like a warehouse.
The iron boxes, which are one meter long, half a meter wide and high, are neatly stacked. There are a hundred boxes in a pile. In a field the size of two football fields, the piles of boxes are in order.
Is this ten thousand tons of gold?
Doubts, expectations, and excitement were intertwined in Yang Chen's heart. He walked to the box that was moved by the natives, squatted down, and slowly opened the box. The white light from the strong flashlight shone inside, and it was golden.
What a gold!
Yang Chen smiled. Of course he was happy to find tens of thousands of tons of gold. Fortunately, this guy had deep concentration. An ordinary person would probably be crazy with joy. He grabbed a few gold bars, looked at them carefully, and presented the gold bars to him with the native leader.
Exactly the same, weighing one kilogram, with a swastika on the bottom.
According to the volume of the box, which is 0.25 cubic meters, the volume of one ton of gold is 0.0517 cubic meters. This box can hold more than four tons of gold. In fact, it is far from being able to hold that much. Yang Chen visually estimated that there are about two thousand gold bars and two thousand kilograms in the box.
, weighing two tons.
Nowadays, the international gold price is fluctuating at a high level. When converted, one ton of gold is almost 400 million yuan, and this box is equivalent to 800 million yuan.
Yang Chen's heart was surging. He stood up and scanned the entire venue with the bright flashlight in his hand. Countless boxes contained countless amounts of gold.
With so much gold, you are as rich as any country, and your enemy is the United States!
With control of this wealth, what kind of miracles and brilliance can he create... Yang Chen looked around the natural warehouse with a myriad of thoughts. Conali was so excited that he was speechless. Although the gold was nothing to him, he saw it with his own eyes.
Astronomical wealth is indeed a great blessing in life.
The Arctic Fox people were relatively calm. According to Yang Chen's instructions, they counted how many boxes of gold there were. They found 5,531 boxes, more than 10,000 tons.
Except for the box of gold that was pried open by the natives, which lacked some gold bars, the other boxes were intact. Long San led people to randomly check more than ten boxes, and they were all of sufficient color and quantity.
The few gentlemen grinned happily, knowing that these ten thousand tons of gold could bring immeasurable benefits to the Arctic Fox. The Arctic Fox was powerful and rich, and their backbone would definitely benefit.
Divide the gold... They don't have such greed. Only when a large amount of wealth is under the control of a strong organization can it be used to its maximum effect and not be spied upon.
Jessica walked to the open box and took out her mobile phone to take pictures. The flash flashed and alerted Yang Chen. Yang Chen frowned and glanced at the girl without saying a word. He continued to wonder how so much gold got into the hole in the mountain.
Like a vent, not a channel for transporting gold.
With questions in his mind, he walked along the granite wall and observed carefully until he reached the innermost part. He found something unusual. There was a big hole in the wall, but it was sealed with cement.
"Long San, blow up this wall."
Yang Chen called out to Long San, who ran over with two people and started blasting. There was a loud noise, and the powerful TNT explosive exploded the cement wall. Yang Chen waited for the smoke and dust to clear, stepped over the blasted hole, and used the light of the flashlight to
, looking at it carefully, there is another large natural cave inside, twenty to thirty meters high, much lower than the cave next door where the gold is stored, but the area is not much smaller, two-thirds of the area is water.
An idea flashed in Yang Chen's mind. He walked to the water's edge, reached out to scoop out the water, and tasted it. It was not underground fresh water, but sea water. This meant that there must be a natural passage under the water connected to the sea outside the seemingly closed cave, and the submarine could pass through it.
This goes in and out.
"Boss, we have the diving equipment, or... I'll dive down and take a look." Long San also understood what was going on and was eager to give it a try.
"A twelve-liter oxygen bottle usually takes fifty minutes. Even if you use it sparingly, it can only take an hour or so at most. Although the location we are standing at is in the south of the island, not far from the coast, the straight-line distance is at least five kilometers. A round trip.
Ten kilometers, there is only enough oxygen to swim out." Yang Chen rejected Long San's suggestion.
Long San smiled bitterly.
"I have a mini-submarine on my ship. Tomorrow we will find the entrance to this channel from the south of the island." Conali came over and brought good news to Yang Chen.
"good!"
Yang Chen nodded excitedly. Only by confirming the existence of this underwater passage can the gold be transported out in large quantities without anyone noticing.
In the dark corner, Jessica stared at the mobile phone that could directly connect to the satellite without going through the base station. She was a little frustrated. Inside the mountain, this awesome mobile phone with many top-level technological elements still had no signal, could not transmit pictures and text information, let alone
The law is positioned.
The light from the mobile phone screen illuminated her uncertain face. She gritted her teeth, turned off the mobile phone, and put it into her backpack.
After exploring the entire semi-natural and semi-artificial treasury, Yang Chen no longer stayed and led everyone away. More than ten people were dragged up one after another.
"Boss, do you need to leave someone to guard the entrance of the cave?" Long San turned around and asked Yang Chen in a low voice.
"No, even if someone has some evil intentions, how much gold can be taken out of this hole?" Yang Chen smiled deeply. He was not worried about the gold at the moment, but was worried about someone leaking the secret.
Tens of thousands of tons of gold is enough to attract countless powerful enemies to take a look.
The Arctic fox is strong, but if it becomes the target of public criticism, it may not be able to withstand it.
The natives can't reveal the secret, unless there is an opportunity like him. The Arctic Fox people don't need to worry. The instructors stationed in the Westland King's Guard are his die-hard loyalists. The people of Conali... are the biggest hidden danger.
How to prevent it?
Yang Chen was meditating all the way, and when he was about to reach the exit of the cave, he suddenly heard the grunting and shouting of the natives who had left the cave in front, as if he was shocked.
The people in the cave quickly poured out.
Yang Chen got out of the cave, and a shocking scene came into view.
Densely packed snakes were besieging the people who came out of the cave. The three girls who had not entered the cave before fell down five meters away from the cave entrance. Their faces were purple with black air. They were obviously very poisoned and had little chance of survival. Dozens of snakes
Running wildly over them, several natives also fell to the ground one after another, twitching and foaming at the mouth.
The sea dragon danced a section of the tree trunk with many branches and leaves, sweeping away the approaching poisonous snakes one by one. He was the only one left intact at the entrance of the cave.
When did so many snakes appear... Yang Chen was quite surprised. He didn't have time to think about it and uprooted a shrub growing at the entrance of the cave.
