Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 704 New Space

It took a lot of time to move the twelve Buddha statues out of the warehouse inside. Fortunately, Liang En and the others brought in a series of equipment such as industrial forklifts and electric winches in the past few days to move these things out smoothly.

"It seems that the harvest this time is really good." After the last Buddha statue was moved out, Joan of Arc asked while standing beside Liang En with a relaxed face. "Is there something here that we haven't found?"

"Maybe, maybe not." Liang En smiled, and then pointed to a line of Japanese on the side, "But I can be sure that some spaces in this house are hidden."

This line of Japanese was written on it with some kind of black paint. If Liang En hadn't searched carefully before, he would not have found this line of words written on the side wall that was not obvious.

"What is written here, it actually allows you to judge that there are other spaces here." Joan could only recognize that it was indeed written in Japanese, but she didn't quite know what it meant.

"People who enter the room must wear protective clothing and gas masks." Liang En looked at this line of text and said, "This should be the place where the Japanese devils placed gas bombs and even biological and chemical weapons in the past."

During World War II, Japan violated international law and carried out chemical warfare on a long-term, organized, and large-scale basis. This is also a full manifestation of the Japanese's technical level in chemical warfare after more than ten years of operation.

In April 1919, Japan formally established the Army Science Research Institute, engaged in the research and development and manufacture of chemical weapons, searched for several important samples of chemical weapons, and tested and improved them.

In 1925, the Japanese Army secretly established the "Japanese Army Tokyo Armory Chukai Works" in Hiroshima as a factory specializing in the production of chemical poisons.The Japanese Navy also manufactured poison products at the "Sagami Arsenal" in Kanagawa.

From 1941 to 1945 alone, the Japanese army manufactured more than 7400 tons of various chemical agents, among which sneezing agents and erosive agents were used in large quantities on the Chinese battlefield after the outbreak of the war.

According to the current known situation, the Japanese used poison gas 2091 times on the Chinese battlefield alone, and unlike the normal army using gas bombs on the battlefield, the Japanese used a large number of poison gas bombs to attack civilians.

But the situation in the Pacific battlefield is another matter.The Japanese army only used a small amount of weapons similar to tear gas.

This is not to say that the Japanese have suddenly become kind, but because compared with the poor and weak China at that time, the Americans have a complete chemical defense system and chemical weapons research and development production line. Once they use it, they are likely to suffer even worse. Violent revenge.

To give the simplest example, at that time, the United States had planned that once the Japanese used chemical weapons on the battlefield, they would retaliate and bomb Japan's major cities with strategic bombers loaded with gas bombs.

So after using gas bombs a few times and being warned, the Japanese immediately stopped using gas bombs on the Pacific battlefield, and then collected those gas bombs from the grassroots army and shipped them back to the mainland.

Of course, considering the transportation capacity and the secret resistance of some officers, only a part was actually transported away, while the other part has been secretly stored in various regions.

As for the warehouse that Liang En and the others found now, it should be one of the gas bomb warehouses left by the troops stationed in the Philippines.

It's just that at the last moment, those gas bombs are likely to be thrown directly into the sea by the Japanese devils to make room for these looted things.

"Different from ordinary storage warehouses, there are some differences in the storage of gas bombs. The biggest feature is that most gas bomb warehouses are often underground structures." Liang En explained to Joan of Arc.

"This is mainly because traditionally poisonous gas is a little heavier than air, so as to ensure that the poisonous gas sticks to the ground to produce the greatest lethality when used."

"Therefore, for safety reasons, many gas bomb warehouses, especially those temporarily built for field gas bomb warehouses, will dig a hole in the ground, so that even if it leaks, it will not pose too much threat."

"That is to say, you suspect that there is something hidden under our feet?" Joan of Arc knelt on one knee on the ground after hearing what Liang En said, and checked, and soon found something wrong. "It doesn't seem normal under the sand layer."

They didn't feel that there was anything wrong after they found the sand layer here before. After all, the twelve statues are extremely exquisitely made, and the bronze and gold-plated antique Buddha statues over 800 years old are definitely national treasures.

So everyone thinks it is normal to have a layer of sand and gravel on the floor. After all, if you want to place heavy metal products such as Buddha statues on the ground, you can avoid damage after an accidental collision.

But now after careful inspection, Joan discovered that the floor below was not the hard concrete floor as everyone had guessed before, but densely laid wooden boards.

"No, if it was a wooden plank in this environment, it should have collapsed by now." Jeanne stood up as she spoke, holding a piece of wood that had begun to rot in her dusty hand.

Unlike the previous erected gate, these wooden boards buried in the ground are not only not ventilated.At the same time, the environment is more humid. In this case, no matter how good the quality of the wood is, it should be almost rotten after seven or eighty years.

And what Joan dug out from the ground just now also proved this conjecture. After digging the soil layer on the ground, she found that the wooden boards on the ground had been rotten, let alone the bronze statues, the soil alone should Can crush this thing.

"So I guess there should be some special structures underneath. It's not just a layer of wooden boards at the bottom." Liang En nodded to Joan who was covered in dust.

"I even guess that all the things before are used to attract the attention of digging later, and the real good things should probably be hidden at the bottom of this pit."

"Then what should we do next, dig directly?" Jeanne asked curiously. "If I dug straight up, I'm concerned the security personnel might—"

This is not to say that those security personnel are criminals, but considering the things found before, the price of the wealth hidden here may far exceed the imagination of ordinary people.

You should know that it is best not to test people, otherwise all kinds of problems will always arise.So in Joan's view, it's best for these non-core personnel not to let them know what might exist underneath.

"Well, I think what you said is right." Liang En recognized Joan's ability in judging people, so since she could say such a thing, Liang En would naturally consider it seriously.

So at noon the next day, Liang En simply and neatly announced that the excavation work was over. As for the rest of the finishing part, it was enough for himself and Joan of Arc to stay for the final inspection, and the others could leave early.

The security personnel didn't think there was anything strange about this order, after all, in their eyes, scholars always have some special habits of their own.It's not surprising that such a person studies alone.

And for these security personnel, everyone has been in this tropical rainforest for five or six days, and it is a good thing to be able to leave here in a fair manner.

So early the next morning, the security personnel left here with the gold-plated bronze Buddha and treasures that Liang En and the others had dug out before, leaving Liang En and Joan of Arc alone.
