Chapter 2871: Aerial work
A few minutes later, the lining of the Well of Moses had been surveyed, and Derek immediately recovered the small drone.
Immediately afterwards, a small underwater robot carrying a high-definition underwater camera and an underwater metal detector was slowly hoisted into the well of Moses and approached the water surface at the bottom of the well.
Soon, this small underwater robot got close to the surface of the water and immediately sank into the water.
At the same time, the situation below the water surface at the bottom of the well also appeared on the LCD monitor and on the screen of the iPad in Ye Tian's hand.
Compared with the smooth wall of the well above, the part below the water surface of the Well of Moses is still in its original state, surrounded by jagged granite.
That was the trace left by the Midianites when they dug this well. Although the Well of Moses was repaired many times and became more regular, the part below the surface of the water was never touched.
When the small underwater robot entered the well water, it carefully avoided the protruding granite to avoid accidents such as scratching.
As for the water pipe used to pump water in the St. Catherine’s Monastery, it was taken out of the Well of Moses long ago.
The water in the Well of Moses was very clear. It seemed that there were no impurities and no living things in the water.
Under the illumination of high-intensity searchlights, the situation in the well water is unobstructed and very clear.
It is a pity that there are no surprises. The metal detector carried by the small underwater robot never sounded.
The employees of the company operating the winch have been slowly releasing the cable, and this small underwater robot is also constantly diving and exploring the underwater situation.
After diving for about five meters from the water surface down, this small underwater robot came to the bottom of the well.
At the bottom of this well, there is a layer of fine sand. Well water is coming up from under the fine sand. There are strange rocks around the well, and there is nothing else.
The underwater metal detector scanned the bottom of the well and the surrounding walls of the original state, and found no hidden metal objects.
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately understood that there were no hidden secrets under the surface of the Well of Moses, at least there were no hidden metal objects.
"Mr. Steven, in order to ensure the cleanliness and normal flow of water from the Well of Moses, we will send people to dive into the well every few years to clean up the silt and other debris at the bottom of the well.
From ancient times to the present, this work has never been interrupted, but the length of the interval is different. You have also seen the situation below the surface, it does not seem to be a secret hidden! "
Father Harris, standing nearby, said, introducing the situation at the bottom of the well.
Ye Tian turned to look at the Orthodox monk, then smiled and nodded and said:
"Yes, Father Harris, as far as the situation is below the surface, it does not seem to be a secret hidden. This situation is normal, as I expected.
Except for the necessary clean-up work, I believe that no one will sneak into the well to hide secrets or treasures. The believers of the three major religions will not, and neither will the others.
This is a desert area, the water source is too precious, no one will destroy the water source! What's more, the Well of Moses is in the monastery of St. Catherine, protected by you! "
Next, the small underwater robot explored the bottom of the well, but nothing new was discovered.
Seeing this result, Ye Tian asked his company employees to take back the small underwater robot and ended the exploration work.
As this small underwater robot was brought up to the well, everyone at the scene became excited, and even the excited eyes shined straight, and they couldn't wait!
Everyone knows that the next time someone should be sent into the Well of Moses to open the wall of the well where the metal objects are hidden, to see what secrets are hidden behind the wall, whether it is the legendary treasure of Solomon or even the ark of the covenant!
The exploratory team members who were about to go down the well had already finished their baths and put on waterproof tights. They were already ready!
As Ye Tian said before, these guys who are going to explore the Well of Moses are from the Vatican and Israel. They are all devout believers, but they believe in Christianity and Judaism respectively!
It can be seen that these guys are very excited, even trembling slightly, eager to try one by one, already impatient!
However, Ye Tian didn't let these guys go down immediately.
He walked up to the dean of St. Catherine's Abbey, gathered the Bishop of Kent, Joshua, and the Deputy Minister of Culture of Egypt, and said to these people with a smile:
"Master dean, gentlemen, next I will send someone to explore the Well of Moses. Before the exploration begins, there are some things I want to emphasize.
In the next exploration process, we will film the entire process and keep the first-hand video materials so that experts and scholars from various fields can conduct research afterwards.
In other words, every exploratory team member who enters the Well of Moses must wear a high-definition camera, and at the same time we will put a small drone down for supervision.
One more thing, if the secrets hidden in the walls of the well are the legendary Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, then the exploration needs to be paused and will continue later!
According to our cooperation agreement, if we find Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, it will be broadcast live, so that people all over the world will witness this great discovery!
Only by preparing for the live broadcast, the exploration can continue. If the secrets hidden behind the well wall are not Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, it will naturally be unnecessary!
The other is the distribution of treasures. We have reached an agreement on this matter before. This is also the basis of our cooperation. I hope that everyone can keep their promises! "
Hearing this, everyone at the scene was silent and began to think.
Only the Bishop of Kent had a relatively relaxed expression, and Chong Ye Tian nodded slightly, which meant that he could rest assured that the Vatican would definitely keep its promise!
Ye Tian also smiled and nodded at the old friend. After all, everyone has cooperated several times, and there is still some trust in this!
After thinking for a moment, the abbot of St. Catherine's Abbey nodded and said:
"No problem, Steven, don't worry, since we allow the three-party joint exploration team to enter the monastery to explore, we will keep our promise, and we also want to thank you for discovering the secret hidden in the well of Moses!"
After the words fell, the Deputy Minister of Culture of Egypt immediately took another step and said that the Egyptian government will keep its promise.
Joshua immediately nodded, and said with a serious expression:
"We in Israel will keep our promise, Steven, if the secret hidden in the well of Moses is Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, we will immediately broadcast it live. If it is other treasures, we will not participate in the distribution!"
After receiving the promises from the representatives of all parties, Ye Tian nodded and immediately announced the beginning of the next stage of exploratory operations!
Several guys who were on behalf of the Vatican and Israel went down to explore, were called to the well of Moses one after another, and Derek and others put them on high-definition cameras, searchlights, safety ropes, and so on.
Soon, everything is ready.
The few guys who were going to enter the Well of Moses to explore, all prayed at the well, some knelt on the ground and prayed, and some stood at the well with a cross on their chest.
After the prayer, an exploratory team member representing the Vatican was the first to be hoisted into the Well of Moses and slowly descended.
After falling to a depth of about twelve meters in the well, that is, scanning the depth of the metal object, the exploratory team stopped descending and hovered in the well.
Immediately afterwards, an exploratory team member representing Israel was also put into the well of Moses and slowly fell to the bottom of the well!
After a while, this one also reached the predetermined depth, and also hovered in the well, hanging side by side with the exploratory team from the Vatican, looking at each other!
They are located a little lower than the well wall where the metal objects are hidden, and closer to the surface of the water!
In this way, as long as they establish a foothold in the well of Moses, they can start exploring operations, such as cutting open the wall of the well with hidden metal objects!
Immediately after the Israeli explorer, two telescopic ladders made of alloy were hung one after the other and put into the Well of Moses!
After the two telescopic ladders are opened, the length can reach ten meters. It is the foothold of the two exploratory team members so that they can start their actions!
As long as the two telescopic ladders are opened and inserted into the well water, the upper end is against the wall of the well, and a thick wooden board is placed on the two telescopic ladders, and an aerial platform can be built in the well to start operations!
When the two telescopic ladders descended in front of them, the two exploratory team members who had descended into the well before each took one, then opened it a little bit and inserted it into the well water below.
After placing the two telescopic ladders and making sure that the two ladders are stable, they unfastened the safety ropes on the ladders, and then notified the people at the wellhead to retract the safety ropes and put down the wooden boards.
The next moment, the two safety ropes originally tied to the telescopic ladder were pulled out of the well!
After a while ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ a thick wooden board was hoisted into the well and slowly fell down!
Within a short time, this work platform located in the Well of Moses was established, and it was fairly solid.
The two exploratory team members who were hanging in the air also stood on the wooden board. Don't hang in the air anymore!
Immediately afterwards, a small drone flew into the Well of Moses, quickly descended to a depth of about ten meters, and hovered over the heads of these two guys.
Almost at the same time, Ye Tian's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Guys, you can start to act. First wipe off the moss on the wall of the well, take a look at the structure of the wall of the well, and the characters and patterns carved on the wall of the well, and then we will make a plan based on the situation!"
The voice fell, and the two guys who went down into the well responded.
"Received, Steven, we know what to do!"
After speaking, the two guys each took out a towel and walked to the walls on both sides.
