Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 787 Abnormal Gold

During the daytime of the next day, Liang En and the others conducted a second round of search. During this search, they found another wooden house that had been completely abandoned and found a concrete platform inside.

And when looking down along the exit of this house, you can see the remains of two completely collapsed wooden shelves scattered on the ridgeline.

"Obviously, there should be a cableway here, and the materials for building the houses should be transported up through the cableway." Liang En pointed to the wreckage and said. "As for this cement platform, it is probably used to fix the hoist or generator."

"Maybe, but why do you think the Germans built buildings in this place?" Fan Meng asked curiously. "I don't think there's anything worth building a military facility about in this place."

The reason why he said this is simple, because both tactically and strategically, the importance of this area is the most marginal place for Germany in World War II.

From a tactical point of view, although there were important mines in this place in ancient times, it was almost exhausted by World War II, and the toy-making town below obviously does not need too many guards.

From a strategic point of view, this place belonged to the hinterland controlled by Germany during World War II. No matter what direction the bombers came to this place, they had basically been discovered by observation from other directions.

"Who told you this is a military facility?" Liang En frowned suspiciously after hearing Fan Meng's words.

"This is what I think." Fan Meng said after looking at the pile of ruins. "While the explosion destroyed the building, I can see that the largest pile of debris used to be a tower at least three stories high."

"That's right, it's a high tower, but it's not for military observation, but a civilian observation post for fire prevention and anti-poaching." Liang En said with a smile. "This is a facility for fire prevention and poaching prevention. It's marked on an old map I found."

Spicy Germany is a weird country, their head of state can order the killing of millions of innocents, but has compassion for animals, and is a vegetarian at the same time.

As for this fanatical militaristic country, although it launched an expansion and killed people like hemp, it announced the world's first comprehensive animal protection law in 1933.

Also because of this law, they have set up many protected areas in the country, and established a series of buildings similar to observation posts to maintain and enforce these laws.

After a simple search with a metal detector, Liang En and the others found that there were indeed some things hidden in the pile of ruins, but from the simple survey results, there was only some silver that added up to no more than ten kilograms.

After confirming that there might be no valuable things inside, they immediately turned to the hole behind and started excavating. Unlike those ruins, the amount of material used in this hole was not large.

This also shows from the side that the real focus of the group of people who hid things back then should be these abandoned mines, so they placed as few explosives as possible to avoid destroying those possible treasures.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's much easier to dig up the ruins in the cave." Fan Meng said while checking the labor tools that will be used later.

"Not only does the amount of explosives used here is relatively small, but also simple gravel and soil are much easier to dig than reinforced concrete. If there is no accident, we can dig it out in a day or two."

Because the amount of work is not too big, the method of excavation is also very simple. The three of Liang En and the others can start working directly as long as they hold picks and shovels.

It may be because mining in the early days when there was no gunpowder was the method of using fire and pouring cold water to make those stones crispy, so the stones around the entrance of the cave are much easier to dig than the surrounding ones.

Those places that were bombed and collapsed are now just a pile of dirt and gravel, and the largest stone is no larger than the size of a basketball.

What's more important is that this place is actually a slope, so when they dig, they can make the stones and soil roll down the somewhat gentle slope as long as they use their arms hard, saving the effort of carrying them.

After digging and stopping for more than three hours, the entrance of the mine gradually leaked out. Somewhat unexpectedly, the mine was only more than 2m wide and 1m8 high.

"I thought the entrance of this mine was very big, after all, there are traces of wooden tracks at the entrance." Looking at the exposed opening, Fan Meng complained, because in his impression, the entrance of the mine should be much larger than this.

"What you are looking at is a modern mine. It will naturally be enlarged for the convenience of mechanization, but this kind of ancient mine is naturally different." Liang En said, pointing to the entrance of the mine.

"After all, expanding the size of the mine requires cost, and the larger the cave, the higher the possibility of collapse. Therefore, in this era of non-mechanical excavation, such mines will not be too large."

"Actually, such mines were already considered large at that time. Many mines only allowed people to crawl and dig inside. The harsh working environment is definitely beyond what modern people can imagine."

Judging from the ores found at the entrance of the cave, this place should be a tin mine, accompanied by a certain amount of silver mines. It is estimated that this is why it has been in operation for a period of time despite the depreciation of tin ore caused by imports.

Now, what caught Liang En and the others' attention was a door in the cave. Judging from the eagle holding the swastika and the Gothic German letters underneath, it was indeed requisitioned by the Germans during World War II.

"It seems that the Thule Association didn't know what that Hans was doing, so they didn't clean up the place." Liang En said with a smile.

Because since this relic can be dug out so easily, if the other party really knows it, they will definitely not let it go, and they will not find a gunman to carry out an assassination like this time.

After a simple inspection to confirm that there was no danger in the cave, Liang En and the others used the tools they carried with them to jump open the gate, stood at the gate and looked inside with searchlights.

The mine under the light is very small, only a front hall the size of an elementary school classroom, surrounded by some mines that can only be crawled in and out by a relatively thin person.

In the center of the front hall, there were twelve boxes. After prying open one box with the dagger he carried with him, Liang En saw eight full cloth bags inside.

Liang En opened the bag after easily picking apart the rope at the mouth of the bag with a knife, and then a golden light leaked out of the pocket under the illumination of the headlamp.

"This—" But after seeing the contents clearly, Liang En and the others' faces became ugly, because the gold was not ordinary gold, but some gold teeth or gold inlays on the teeth.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell. There is no doubt that these gold teeth should come from Jewish settlements such as Auschwitz, Buchenwar, and the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II.Just think about the origin of these golds, and every normal person will not feel good inside.

"Let's look at other boxes." After a few seconds of silence, Liang En waved his hand lightly to Joan of Arc and Fan Meng, "I hope there won't be such awkward things in other boxes."
