Chapter 2691: Vulcan sculpture
As two ventilation fans were hoisted into the underground tunnel one after another, work began. The dirty air that had accumulated in the depths of this tunnel for the past two thousand years was quickly pumped out.
Then, the dirty air was pumped out of the wine cellar and basement, and discharged outside.
was replaced by fresh air from outside, which was continuously injected into this ancient underground tunnel.
While ventilating, Derek and the others also did an air test. Apart from being relatively dirty, the air in this secret tunnel is non-toxic and relatively safe.
Besides, Ian and the others piloted a small drone to fly into this secret passage and explored it.
It is a pity that the small drone flew down the spiral staircase for about eight or nine meters, but was blocked by an ancient stone door with mottled ears, and could no longer explore further.
The stone gate can't isolate the air, but it can block the small drone, which makes people very helpless.
Although the small UAV cannot explore in depth, it is not nothing.
It at least probed the depth of the spiral tunnel, and found some bronze candlesticks from the ancient Roman period on the secret tunnel wall, and some stone holes for torches.
In a blink of an eye, the air in this secret passage has been replaced.
"Steven, the air in the secret passage is almost replaced, and the air quality is basically the same as that in this wine cellar. It should be possible to explore"
Derek gave a briefing on the latest situation. The kid has been staring at the air quality monitor.
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately replied:
"Okay, we can move on to the next step, Derek, you can take out a ventilating fan from the secret tunnel and keep one. When Walker and I enter this secret tunnel, you continue to replace the air in the secret tunnel."
After receiving the instruction, Derek and the others immediately took action, took out a replacement fan from the secret tunnel, and then pulled it to the ground.
In the wine cellar above, Ye Tian and Walker are making the final preparations to enter the secret path to explore.
They carefully checked the safety ropes, lighting fixtures, oxygen masks and protective clothing, pinhole cameras, self-defense weapons and other equipment tied to their waists to be foolproof.
After checking the equipment and confirming that there were no problems, Ye Tian invited the Bishop of Kent and Giovanni out of the wine cellar and asked them to go outside and wait for the results.
Of course, Giovanni wanted to follow Ye Tian into the secrets of the bottom of the pit and explore the unknown space deep underground, but Ye Tian refused without hesitation using safety as an excuse.
Facing this situation, Giovanni could only nod his head to accept, and then left the wine cellar with the Bishop of Kent.
It was the two media reporters, but Ye Tian allowed them to stay and witness the next exploration process.
After the Bishop of Kent and the others left, Ye Tian and Walker went down to the bottom of the pit one after another, and Derek, who had stayed at the bottom of the pit, came up from the pit and returned to the wine cellar.
After standing at the bottom of the pit, Ye Tian first observed the situation at the bottom of the pit and the top steps of the secret passage, and then said to Walker who was also at the bottom of the pit:
"Walker, as in previous exploratory operations, I took a heavy shield to explore the road ahead, and you followed behind to protect my back, and be sure to step on my footsteps and obey the command when moving.
Judging from the situation at the entrance of the secret road, there is probably no trap in this secret road. It should be safer, but no one knows the situation deep in the secret road. We still have to be more cautious."
"Understand, Steven, I know what to do"
Walker nodded in response, his eyes full of expectation.
Then, Ye Tian turned on his headlight, reached out his hand to pick up the heavy police shield leaning against the wall, and shielded it in front of him, then stepped out and walked into this ancient secret road first.
Walker followed closely, followed him, stepped on his footprints, and walked into this secret passage.
Different from Ye Tian, what he was carrying was not a heavy police shield, but a bundle of wires and many lighting fixtures. He was responsible for arranging these lamps in the secret tunnel to completely illuminate the secret tunnel.
"boom!"
Accompanied by the dull sound of heavy police shields on the steps, this ancient secret road that has been closed for more than two thousand years, after more than two thousand years, finally ushered in new visitors!
In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian and Walker had walked down the spiral staircase six or seven steps, and disappeared from the sight of everyone at the pit!
Everyone can only see a piece of light from the secret passage at the bottom of the pit, and can only hear the dull sound of heavy police shields hitting the steps, and the footsteps of Ye Tian and Walker, constantly coming out of the secret passage.
As Ye Tian said, although this secret road is very secret and ancient, there are no traps in the secret road. Apart from the slippery steps and the need to be careful, there are no other dangers.
This situation undoubtedly greatly benefited Ye Tian and the others' exploration, and it also saved a lot of time.
While they were speaking, Ye Tian and the others had walked five or six meters down the spiral staircase and came to the middle of the secret passage.
When he reached here, Ye Tian suddenly stopped and looked at an alcove on the right wall.
You can see that in the niche that is no more than fifty centimeters high, there is a small sculpture, covered with dust and a thick layer of moss.
Even so, Ye Tian recognized this ancient sculpture at a glance.
"Hey! There is a marble sculpture of Vulcan, the **** of fire. It looks good, and it is an ancient Roman sculpture of the **** of fire from BC. This is rare outside, and it must be another top antique. Cultural relics"
Before the sound of , Walker followed, and immediately looked at the Vulcan sculpture in the niche.
However, both of them just admired, and did not wipe or touch this valuable ancient Roman sculpture.
The main purpose of their coming down this time is to ascertain the situation in this secret road, to see what secrets are hidden behind the stone gate in the depths of the secret road, and to avoid extraneous branches as much as possible!
Standing in front of the Vulcan statue and admiring it for a moment, Ye Tian picked up the heavy police shield and continued to walk down. Walker, who followed, continued to arrange lighting fixtures.
In the place where they walked, the endless darkness that had enveloped it for more than two thousand years has been completely dispelled, and the upper half of this underground secret passage has become brightly lit by this time!
didn't go far down ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Ye Tian and they saw another ancient Roman statue, the same size is not big, the sculpture is quite exquisite, placed in an alcove on the wall of the secret road.
The difference is that this time it is no longer Vulcan, the **** of fire, but a statue of Mars, the **** of war, which can be regarded as a valuable top antique cultural relic.
Seeing this ancient Roman God of War sculpture, Ye Tian stopped again and stopped to admire it.
After a while, they left here and continued to explore.
After walking down the spiral staircase for a certain distance, Ye Tian and the others finally came to the deepest part of this secret passage. A simple and heavy stone gate appeared in front of them.
On this stone gate, it seems that there are some patterns and words carved, but it has long been covered by thick dust and moss, and I can’t see it clearly!
On the walls on both sides of the stone gate, there seems to be some patterns and words carved, which are also covered by dust and moss.
When they arrived here, Ye Tian didn't rush forward and pushed aside the thick and ancient stone gate to see what secrets or treasures were hidden behind the stone gate!
He stopped on the last step of the spiral staircase and began to observe the situation here with great interest, observing the stone gate close at hand!
