Chapter 540 Gold and Silver

Chapter 540 Gold and Silver

...Seeing that noon time had arrived, Liu Dong was ready to eat something and continue looking. However, just after he took out the soy sauce beef that had been stored in the mustard space and took a bite, his eyes suddenly widened!

After being stunned for a few seconds, Liu Dong immediately stood up without caring about eating, turned around and looked at the stone under his butt.

It’s not that this stone is beautiful, but that this irregular bluestone, which is as big as a tabletop, has an obvious cut mark about the size of a laptop on one side! In this barren mountain, there is such an obvious cut mark.

The big boulder already showed that we were definitely not far from our destination.

Thinking of this, Liu Dong no longer thought about eating, and immediately began to use the relic Yuanguang to focus on looking for such stones with obvious traces of excavation. Sure enough, Liu Dong soon made new discoveries, and although these stones were distributed very messily

, even covered by dry grass and shrubs, but it is obvious that they extend in one direction.

At this time, Liu Dong also secretly guessed that these stones were probably excavated by the Japanese when they built a secret base, and then used them to pave the road. Finally, during the retreat, they rebuilt the road in order to keep the secret of the base.

The road was blown up!

The reason why we came to this conclusion is that there are a large number of pits in the central valley of these rocks. Although after years of erosion, many of the large pits that should have been deep have now been filled with soil and gravel.

, as well as thick fallen leaves and grass, but Liu Dong's relic Yuan Guang can still tell the difference from the surrounding soil.

"found it!"

When an obvious large space appeared within the scope covered by the relic's original light, Liu Dong was so excited that he wanted to roar a few times.

After taking a few deep breaths and finally suppressing the excitement in his heart, Liu Dong felt the wind blowing under his feet. After crossing the undulating and messy valley, he stopped on a hillside covered with rocks, weeds and short trees.

This small hillside covered with rocks is close to a bare cliff, and there are obvious signs of cracks on the cliff. Liu Dong guessed that the Japanese soldiers who finally retreated blew up the cliff and buried the cave entrance.

Looking at the cave entrance buried under hundreds of tons of rubble under the relics, Liu Dong frowned secretly. Looking at the traces, it was obvious that no one could have entered or exited, and he didn't know how Zhao Rongcheng's Japanese father escaped!

After walking around the area covered by rocks, Liu Dong started to clean it up from the top. Fortunately, there was a mustard space that had expanded to 8 million cubic meters. Otherwise, Liu Dong would have been able to suppress this area alone.

If the tens of thousands of rubbles living in the cave entrance were removed, it would be enough for him to work for ten days and a half.

After spending more than ten minutes cleaning up about 200 square meters of rubble, a rusty steel door was revealed that was close to the mountain behind it. The iron door was not from Jackie Chan's "Eagle Project".

The sophisticated three-layer protective lock in the German base here is just a very ordinary door nose lock, just like the lock on the general warehouse door. But the one here is even bigger, the lock head alone is the size of two adult hands. And the connection

The noses of the two doors are as thick as an adult's finger, and the locking rods are as thick as a child's arm.

Without a key, no one would have a headache facing such a tightly guarded door, and Liu Dong was certainly no exception.

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance!" Liu Dong said in his heart.

Then he took out a small generator and cutting machine from the mustard space. He prepared these things just to prevent encountering such a tightly guarded door, but he didn't expect that they would come in handy as soon as he arrived!

Pour gasoline into the generator and start it, and the grinding wheel of the cutting machine will start to rotate rapidly.

When Liu Dong found the correct position on the gate, he began to cut slowly. With the harsh friction sound and violent sparks, the winter valley immediately became lively. Fortunately, there were no people here, otherwise Liu Dong would still have died.

I really don't dare to do this in broad daylight.

After the harsh friction sound roared for more than 20 minutes, the locking rod as thick as a child's arm was finally cut off!

Seeing that the task was completed, Liu Dong felt relieved.

After hurriedly packing up the generator and cutting machine and reinstalling them in the mustard space, Liu Dong pulled out the locking lever, and then pushed open the two-piece machine that was five meters long, four meters high, twenty centimeters thick and weighed more than ten tons.

Open the steel door!

Fortunately, Liu Dong is strong and strong, and his arm strength is far superior to ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not be able to push open these two heavy steel doors that have not been opened for more than half a century.

"Boom, squeak...!" Accompanied by the harsh collision and friction of steel, as well as the north wind pouring into the cave, the dust that had accumulated in the passage for decades without being disturbed became flying.

After pushing open a gap that allowed him to enter, Liu Dong walked sideways, then turned over and closed the door again. Of course, it was necessary to leave a gap for ventilation, although Liu Dong did not notice the passage after entering.

There may be some peculiar smell or lack of air in the air, but it’s better to be prepared.

Liu Dong's many years of hunting experience taught him that in any unknown situation, caution and caution can save lives!

After entering the door, Liu Dong found that the passage inside was the same width and height as the door just now, and extended downward at a 15° slope. Moreover, both sides of the passage were excavated mountains, which were very solid.

After walking forward fifty meters along the passage, two spaces of about fifty square meters appeared on both sides of the passage. Judging from the style of the space, these should be two guard booths. After another fifty meters down, another space appeared.

Two guard booths. After passing six guard booths in a row, and spiraling down three hundred meters, a huge space appeared!

And Liu Dong's relic Yuanguang just covered this space, which means that the area of ​​this underground space is nearly 400 meters in length, nearly 200 meters in width, and nearly 5 meters in height.

In such a large underground space, all the military supplies were placed. In addition to guns, shells and weapons, there were also a large number of weapons. Liu Dong strode to the nearest large wooden box, and then opened the canvas on it.

, after opening the wooden box, a bundle of 38 caps still rubbed with butter appeared.

Liu Dong randomly took one from it, opened the barrel and looked at it, and found that there was no rust inside. After pulling the trigger, he felt very relaxed. It was obvious that the gun was well maintained, even after half a century.

, but can still be used.

In this wooden box that is 1.5 meters long, 30 centimeters thick, and 50 centimeters wide, there are twenty rods with such 38-inch lids! But there are nearly 2,500 such wooden boxes with 38-meter lids in the entire warehouse.

Boxes, that is, a full 50,000 38-guns are stored here. This number was enough to arm two full Class A divisions of 28,000 Japanese troops during World War II!

And there are not only 38 rifles in this warehouse. Next to it, there are more than 200 wooden boxes containing Nanbu pistols and 100-type submachine guns, as well as more than 300 boxes of Taisho 11-type machine guns, which are crooked light machine guns.

Well, 150 boxes of Type 92 heavy machine guns, 1,500 pieces, and 1,900 boxes of Type 97 hand grenades with 500,000 pieces.

There are also Type 94 37mm rapid-fire cannon, Type 92 70mm infantry cannon, Type 94 75mm mountain cannon, Type 99 105mm mountain cannon, Meiji 38-type 105mm field howitzer, Meiji 38-type 150mm field howitzer, etc.

The Japanese army had nearly 500 artillery pieces of various calibers during World War II!

There are even 36 Type 94 ultra-light tanks, which are often ridiculed by military fans as the 'Bean Tank'! And six Type 97 medium-sized tanks with a caliber of 57mm, which is considered Japan's most successful tank in World War II.

!

There are so many military supplies stored here. It can completely supply the consumption of the entire Japanese North China Front for half a year. No wonder it is built so secretly!

On the left hand side of this large base, after passing through a space of nearly 400 meters, there are six passages continuing to the left. There is a distance of fifteen meters between each passage. When entering any one of the passages, there are wide channels on both sides.

The wooden door is one meter high and two meters high, and inside the wooden door are four beds for three people three meters high. Judging from the layout, this should be the dormitory area for the base guard soldiers, but now the floor is also dusty and the building is empty.

However, Liu Dong found a large number of bones in the two middle passages. Judging from the clothes that had not completely decayed, these people were ordinary people. Only seventeen of them were real Japanese soldiers. It was obvious that they should have arrived after escorting the supplies.

They were ordered to be massacred to cover up the secret.

Looking at the hundreds of twisted bones in front of him, although Liu Dong was not afraid, the paleness still gave him a great mental impact. The brutality of the Japanese army and the suffering of the nation during World War II were clearly displayed on these bones.

in front of him.

Although this tragedy happened half a century ago, Liu Dong, who has sensitive senses, still seems to be able to hear the death cry!

"I will use Japanese heads to commemorate you!" Whispering in a low voice, Liu Dong threw out all the Japanese corpses in the mustard space.

“There’s more to come!”



"It seems that Zhao Rongcheng's Japanese father escaped from here!" Liu Dong thought to himself when he walked to the end of the passage and looked at the darkness, with obvious explosion marks around it, and a vent large enough to accommodate adults.

.

After walking around the dormitory area and finding nothing, Liu Dong continued walking back along the cement corridor between the dormitory area and the military supplies storage area. There were two more steel doors with the same width as the first one, and they were also locked.

, but this lock has been sawed open, and it should be related to Zhao Rongcheng’s Japanese father!

When Liu Dong pushed the door open and entered, after passing through a corridor that was five meters wide, four meters high, and thirty meters long, another large space appeared in front of him. However, this space was only half the size of the outside, but its area was nearly four meters.

Million square meters!

In this almost square space of nearly 40,000 square meters, there were eight piles of things covered by canvas. Seeing these eight piles of things, Liu Dong suddenly felt dazzled, because his eyes were flashing with colorful colors.

Seeing the auras of varying concentrations, Liu Dong suddenly felt as if he had arrived at that large museum! There were so many good things!

Here, Liu Dong did not need to suppress his excitement. He walked to the first and relatively small pile of canvas without any scruples, and pulled off the top canvas with a bang.

Immediately, a stack of wooden boxes 70 centimeters long, 50 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters high, 1.5 meters high, 3 meters wide and nearly 150 meters long, appeared in front of us!

He randomly grabbed a wooden box and opened it. A dazzling golden light flashed before Liu Dong's eyes. Large gold bars weighing about two kilograms were neatly arranged. The gold in this wooden box alone was nearly two hundred kilograms!

In this pile of wooden boxes, there are 200 wooden boxes containing gold, which means that there are 40 tons of gold in this batch of supplies!!

"Damn, the little devil is so good at looting. I guess a lot of Zhaoyuan gold mines were mined back then!" Liu Dong said excitedly.

Of course, these boxes are not all gold. You must know that China was an out-and-out silver-standard country at the beginning. Therefore, the amount of silver in this batch of materials is more than gold. All the silver adds up to nearly 120 tons!

Seeing so much gold and silver, Liu Dong quickly estimated their value based on his knowledge of the market prices of gold and silver.

In 2001, the price of silver per ounce was US$4.95, and 120 tons of silver was worth US$21.2 million! The price of gold per ounce was US$298.5, and the value of 40 tons of gold was US$1.27 billion!

"It's a pity that it's still not enough!" Liu Dong sighed inwardly.

The initial construction capital he had prepared for rebuilding the Yuanmingyuan Museum was US$2 billion, but now it seems that it is still far behind!

Of course, what Liu Dong wants to build is not just a simple Yuanmingyuan Museum, but to rebuild it into an artistic masterpiece. For example, the furniture in the garden is all made of the most precious Huanghuali, small-leaf red sandalwood, and camphor.

Wood, wenge, old mahogany and other precious woods that represent royal elegance, sculptures must also use the best materials and be handmade by masters. In addition, the silk used must also be the finest 'Lake Silk', although porcelain

It is contemporary, but it must also be the work of a master! In short, although the future Yuanmingyuan Museum will be rebuilt at a later stage, Liu Dong hopes that every item in it will be the top of its kind.

In this way, within a few decades, this will become a precious art treasure house, and this is also the long-term goal that Liu Dong set for himself after solving the problem of food and clothing.

Of course, the ultimate pursuit also means a lot of expenditure. The Old Summer Palace Museum, which originally only needed 15 billion Chinese coins or even less, could be rebuilt. Under Liu Dong's plan, 100 billion may not be enough!

So the US$2 billion is just the initial funding!

But with this large amount of unexpected talent, it is enough to solve a big problem! Of course, the premise is to first exchange the gold for US dollars or Chinese coins that can be spent!

Of course, this shouldn’t be difficult to solve for a company that owns Rose Jewelry, which is on its way to being the largest jeweler in the country! It just might take a little longer.

After putting away all the gold and silver, Liu Dong also yearned for the remaining things. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
