Chapter 3020: The secret inside the wall
In a short while, Derek and the others entered the Fasil Gaby Castle with a large number of joint exploration team members and various exploration equipment.
After Derek and the others came in, Ye Tian didn't arrange the exploration work immediately. Instead, he asked them to visit this ancient castle and have a basic understanding of it.
He himself, Joshua, David and others came to the third floor of the castle, which is the top of the castle, and continued to visit.
Most of the castles in the Fasilidas castle complex are three-story, as is the Fasil Gaby Castle.
It's just that the castle is taller, more magnificent, and covers a larger area.
On the first floor of this castle are the residences of servants and soldiers. There are also many rooms stacked with various items, as well as utility rooms and so on.
The second floor of the castle is the imperial palace, and the third floor is the real defensive fort.
When we came to the top floor of the castle, we first looked at the buildings with Arabic and Indian styles, and then came to the tallest blockhouse, and went up the stairs to the top of the blockhouse, overlooking the entire Gondar.
Looking out from this towering tower, you can see the panoramic view of Gondar, the rippling Lake Nata dozens of kilometers away, and the monastery on the islands in the lake. The scenery is very beautiful.
However, Ye Tian didn't get close to the Baroque windows around the watchtower.
He stood in the shadow a few meters away from those windows, glanced at the scenery outside, and then came down from the carved building.
Not only him, but Joshua and David, too, did not approach these windows.
The reason why everyone is like this is actually very simple.
Just for safety!
This is the vantage point of the entire Gondar. Standing on the window of this tower, you can indeed overlook the beautiful scenery of Gondar.
At the same time, people living in this ancient city can also see this watchtower.
Regarding the situation faced by the tripartite joint exploration team and the degree of hatred and hatred by the Ethiopians, it is obviously not a wise approach to stand at the window of this watchtower and enjoy the scenery!
That would likely be the target of attack. If someone hides in Gondar City and shoots at this side with a sniper rifle, as long as the marksmanship is accurate, one shot is absolutely accurate.
Because of this, everyone avoided these Baroque windows and other places where they might expose themselves to the guns of others.
While visiting on the third floor, everyone is also exploring.
Since most of the third floor is exposed, the sun can be directly exposed, and it appears to be much drier.
There are many grasses on the ground and walls here, growing tenaciously in the cracks of the rocks, but there is not much moss here, so it is not very slippery.
Like the situation on the second floor, the walls and ground on the third floor are also engraved with many ancient characters and patterns.
These characters and patterns come in different ways, and their styles are also different.
Among them, there are not only Ethiopians carved at the beginning of the castle's construction, but also by many later generations and different invaders, such as Italians and so on.
In the past few decades, these words and patterns have been thoroughly studied, and there are no hidden secrets.
Ye Tian did the same with them, and they didn't find anything special.
After a quick tour on the third floor of the castle, the group of them descended from the upper floor and returned to the palace on the second floor.
At this time, the many employees of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company have also visited this ancient castle and have a general understanding of it.
Everyone returned to the banquet hall on the second floor again and joined Ye Tian and the others.
When all of them came over, Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then smiled and said:
"Guys, let's get to work. Just as before, we divide into several groups, take the pulse metal detector, and scan the Fasil Gaby Castle thoroughly to see if you can find something.
In this process, everyone must pay attention to safety, try to avoid those open windows facing the outside of the castle group, so as not to be attacked from a distance, and also be careful under your feet, it is quite slippery! "
Hearing these words, Mustafa and several other Ethiopians standing nearby changed their expressions, somewhat embarrassed.
However, they also knew how bad the Ethiopians treated the tripartite joint exploratory team, so they didn't say much.
If members of the tripartite joint exploration team appear on the streets of Gondar, they are likely to be besieged.
Even in this ancient castle, it is possible to be attacked from a distance, so you have to be careful!
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"When exploring this ancient castle, if you find metal objects hidden in the walls or deep underground, as well as some special signs and symbols, or other discoveries, remember to notify me as soon as possible!
Another point is that during World War II, this was the seat of the headquarters of the Italian invading army. If you find a hidden space that is not well known, don't open it without authorization. There may be danger hidden in it.
In the process of exploration, everyone should respond to each other and cooperate with each other. I will also send security personnel to protect everyone's safety! Okay, that's all there is to say, everyone, let's start, I hope we can find something here! "
"Understood, Steven, we know what to do!"
Many courageous people explored without fear. The employees of the company responded in unison, and everyone was full of confidence.
Afterwards, everyone formed a group, and then each group took a pulse metal detector, spread out, and began to explore this ancient castle.
Ye Tian left an exploratory team by his side, as well as a pulsed metal detector.
After everyone dispersed and started their own operations, he took the exploratory team and walked straight to the wall on the north side of the banquet hall.
That's where he stopped to observe just now!
Seeing this scene, Joshua, Mustafa and others were suddenly stunned, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up!
This guy Steven must have discovered something just now, but he kept it secret and didn't tell anyone.
Until now, he was not ready to explore that wall!
Thinking of this, everyone looked at the mossy wall, trying to find something!
Unfortunately, the result is the same as before, without any new discoveries.
That mottled wall is no different from before.
Within a few steps, Ye Tian and the others had come to the wall on the north side of the banquet hall and stopped.
Ye Tian observed the mossy wall again, and quickly scanned the entire wall.
Immediately afterwards, the exploratory team under his said:
"You wipe off the moss on this wall, and then use the pulse metal detector to scan the entire wall carefully. This may bring us a nice surprise."
"Okay, Steven, leave it to us!"
The two men nodded in response, and immediately moved on.
At the same time, Joshua and Mustafa also walked over.
When he came to the front, before he could stand firm, Mustafa couldn't wait to ask:
"Steven, what exactly did you find on this ancient wall? What secrets are hidden here? Can you tell everyone about it now? We are very curious!"
"That's right, Steven, you guys are so mysterious. When you visited here before, you said you didn't find anything. It's so cunning!"
Joshua said with a smile, equally curious.
Ye Tian turned to look at these guys, then smiled and said:
"What secrets are hidden in this ancient and mottled wall? In fact, I don't know. When I visited here just now, I found some special places, so I paid attention.
But I am not sure whether this discovery is valuable, so when everyone asked, I did not say it. After some thinking, I decided to come back and explore, maybe I will find something."
Hearing this, everyone who knew Ye Tian at the scene rolled his eyes unhappily!
This **** is acting again!
Everyone knew that he must have made important discoveries, so he came back to explore, and he was definitely not as indifferent as he said.
This point has been proven countless times in the past.
"Steven, what's special about you? Can you show it to everyone?"
Mustafa said eagerly.
"Don't worry, Mustafa, after we clean the moss on the wall and scan it with a pulsed metal detector, the answer may be revealed!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, continuing to hang everyone's curiosity.
Everyone is very speechless for his approach, but there is no way.
Who doesn't have this vision, can only be in a passive position!
It didn't take long for the moss and dust on this wall to be cleaned up.
After some wiping, this wall was immediately cleaner, and under the light, it looked smooth as a mirror!
Immediately afterwards, the exploratory team following Ye Tian's operation began to scan the wall with a pulsed metal detector.
However, they scanned the entire wall thoroughly, but the pulse metal detector never sounded.
Obviously, there are no metal objects hidden in this mottled wall.
As for whether there are other things, it is not known for the time being.
Everyone was a little disappointed with this result, but also a little bit stunned.
Without exception, everyone looked at Ye Tian.
At this time, Ye Tian was lost in thought. .
After a while, he woke up.
Immediately afterwards, he walked to this wall and looked at a few pieces of granite on the wall.
On the mottled granite, some words and an ancient pattern were engraved in Amharic and Italian respectively.
When I visited here before, these words were translated and there was nothing special.
Those Amharic languages come from the 17th century and have a long history.
They existed when Fasil Gaby Castle was built, and they recorded the story of Emperor Fasilidas.
Those Italian words come from the Second World War and are traces of the Italian invading army.
They look more like hand-painted graffiti, and have no special meaning. Perhaps it was made by an Italian officer named Mario in a boring moment, with his name on it!
But it was this long rock inscribed with Italian that was the focus of Ye Tian's attention.
He took a closer look at this long strip of granite, and digged the surface of the rock with his fingers, as well as the cracks around the rock!
Immediately afterwards, he reached out and pulled out a sharp saber from the ankle.
Afterwards, he gently scraped the gap around the rock with a saber and scraped off some debris.
Seeing his actions, the scenic spot manager was ready to stop it.
However, seeing that he did not destroy this ancient wall, these scenic area managers stopped talking and made no sound.
Mustafa, who was standing on the side, couldn't help it anymore.
"Steven, is there anything wrong with this long strip of granite? Is there any secret hidden behind this stone? But I don't think this stone is special!"
Not only Mustafa, the others also nodded.
Obviously, everyone has the same opinion.
Ye Tian turned to look at these guys, and then gave his own answer.
"When I visited here before, I found that this long rock seemed to have been moved by people. The filling in the crevices around this rock is a little different from the filling in other crevices on this wall.
To be precise, the fillings in the crevices around this rock are denser and look closer to modern cement, with poor water permeability, and there is relatively less moss in these crevices.
The other crevices on this wall are filled with exactly the same, slightly looser and better water permeability. They all come from Ethiopia in the seventeenth century, and there are more moss in those crevices.
In some of these gaps, there are still some grass growing. This shows from another aspect that these gaps are relatively loose. Of course, the difference between the two fillings is very small and difficult to find."
As he said, he pointed to the gap around the long rock and twisted the debris just scraped off with his fingers.
Everyone came forward and began to observe carefully.
After Ye Tian's guidance, everyone quickly saw the difference.
"It's really the case. The cracks around this rock seem to be a bit denser than other cracks, but it's too difficult to find!"
"Yes, the fillings in these crevices look closer to modern cement, and the fillings in the rest of the rock crevices are more like ancient cement produced in Ethiopia!"
Several archaeologists said successively, corroborating Ye Tian's judgment.
Hearing these words, Mustafa, the scenic manager, and several other Ethiopians who were also on the scene were full of regret.
Fassil Gaby Castle has always stood here, why didn't I find such an obvious flaw, and it would be so stupid to ask others to point it out!
Ye Tian smiled and continued:
"In addition to this, the location of this long rock is also very clever. Everyone looks at the two rocks above it. The other end happens to be carried on the two rocks on both sides. The long rock below is not stressed!
In other words, we can take this long strip of granite out of the wall without any impact on this wall. Obviously, this can be used! "
"It is true. From a structural point of view, this long strip of granite can indeed be pulled out of the wall as long as it is not very deep, and it will not affect the safety of this wall!"
An Israeli archaeologist nodded and said, and the others nodded.
At this moment, the scenic area manager suddenly said:
"Steven, if you want to remove this rock, you must be careful and try not to cause any damage. This is the most beautiful and magnificent castle in Ethiopia. We must protect it!"
Ye Tian looked at this guy and said confidently:
"Don't worry, man, our Brave Exploration Company has the most advanced exploration equipment in the world, as well as the most experienced exploration team members. We will cut these gaps with a portable water jet.
Next, I will carefully observe the situation behind this rock to see if it can be safely taken out of the wall. After the exploration, we will restore the wall to its original shape.
By then, you will see that this ancient and mottled wall is exactly the same as before, without any changes, and this ancient Fasil Gaby castle will not be affected in any way"
The scenic area manager froze for a moment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then nodded and said:
"If that's the case, then you can cut with your hands, and I will watch it by the side!"
"Ok, buddy"
Ye Tian replied.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the walkie-talkie and informed the men who had remained outside the castle to bring in the portable water jet.
After a while, the two security team members walked into the banquet hall on the second floor of the castle, each carrying a heavy metal suitcase.
After entering the banquet hall, they handed the two metal suitcases to Ye Tian, and then turned and left.
Next, the exploratory team following Ye Tian's operation took over the two metal suitcases.
The two boxes contained portable water jets and corresponding equipment.
