Ye Tian checked the metal signals scanned by the pulse metal detector again and determined the depth, distribution range and exact location of the metal objects buried underground.
Those metal objects were buried about three meters deep underground, close to the altar, and part of them was directly under the altar and a little farther away from the other wall.
However, because the passage behind the altar is relatively narrow, only about two meters wide, and the metal objects are buried relatively deep, the excavation operation is not easy.
If you are not careful, an accident may occur, or even the wall collapses and the house collapses!
In fact, Ye Tian had already seen clearly the situation deep underground through clairvoyance, and also knew what those metal objects were.
At the same time, he also knows how to carry out excavation operations so that treasures buried deep underground can be dug out safely and smoothly without causing accidents!
Although he knows this, he can’t express it verbally. Some performances are still necessary to make it realistic.
After checking the detected metal signal, he pretended to check the situation on the ground carefully, then raised his head and said:
“Father Ramirez, these metal objects are buried about three meters underground. Because they are very close to the wall behind, extreme caution must be used when digging to avoid the wall collapsing.
For safety reasons, I decided to dig down from the altar side, which will inevitably have to move the altar, but we will try to be careful not to damage the altar.”
Hearing this, Father Ramirez’s expression immediately changed and became much more solemn.
After pondering for a moment, the priest said:
“Steven, this altar has a long history. It was built together with this church. During the Lisbon earthquake, this altar did not suffer any damage.
Would you like to think about it again? Let’s see if there is any other way to successfully dig out the metal objects buried deep in the ground without leaving this ancient altar untouched.”
Ye Tian gently shook his head and said with a smile:
“Father Ramirez, you have seen the situation here. It is very narrow. Digging vertically downward is the best way. Other methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the safety is not much higher.
We are top professionals and will definitely protect this ancient altar. In fact, we only need to remove a few granite and bricks to start the excavation work.
Before removing the granite and bricks, I will carefully study the structure of the altar, use metal components to set up a shelf and support, and then remove the granite and bricks one by one.
In this way, this ancient altar will not be affected in any way, and none of the religious items placed on the altar, including the crucifixion statue, will need to be moved.
We will number each of the granite and bricks removed from behind the altar and take video data. Once the exploration operation is completed, we will soon be able to restore them to their original state.
When excavating from the ground down, we will also make good supports and be careful not to let the back wall and this ancient altar squeeze into the middle passage, causing accidents.
Based on my past experience in exploring treasures, I speculate that there are probably several granite strips or huge stone slabs buried under this ground to protect the altar and walls.
If my guess is accurate, there will be no problem. The granite strips and slabs buried underground should be able to bear all the weight of the altar and the wall behind it.”
Hearing what Ye Tian said, Father Ramirez had nothing to say.
He pondered for a while and discussed quietly with Sister Sofia and the Portuguese archaeologist before making a decision.
“Okay, Steven, you can start excavation work or move this ancient altar, but you must be careful and do safety work.
During the excavation process, if any accident or danger occurs, you must stop immediately. You must not damage the altar, let alone collapse the main church! ”
“No problem, Father Ramirez, we are professionals in this area, and there will never be any problems. You can stand aside and watch, and you can stop at any time if something unexpected happens”
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, swearing with confidence, both in his words and in his eyes.
Father Ramirez nodded immediately, a little relieved, but nothing more.
Next, Ye Tian called Jason and the others aside and began to assign tasks to these guys to prepare for the excavation operations that would start later.
After receiving their respective tasks, Jason and the others put down their pulse metal detectors, then quickly walked out of the church and went to the motorcade to pick up other exploration tools!
Seeing the actions of Jason and the others, the many media reporters and onlookers gathered in the square in front of the main church suddenly started boiling like a pot was boiling.
As long as you are not a fool, you will not know what happened when you see this situation.
“Wow! That guy Steven must have discovered something, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken so many tools. I wonder if he discovered the famous Knights Templar treasure. What is in the treasure? How much is it worth?”
“This guy Steven is so amazing. It seems that there is nothing he can’t do. Over the past seven hundred years, countless people have come to Tomar with high hopes to search for the treasures of the Knights Templar, but they have all failed. !
They have only been in Tomar for a few days, and they have discovered something. They are so lucky. It seems that the rumor is absolutely correct. God has always favored this guy Steven and given him all the good luck. ! ”
Amid the ongoing discussions, Jason and the others entered the church with many exploration tools and closed the church door again, blocking everyone’s sight and discussion outside.
Nearly two hours have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the main church, the excavation work has come to an end, and the metal objects buried deep underground will soon appear in front of everyone and see the light of day again.
At this time, behind the ancient altar in the deepest part of the church, there was a large pit about three meters deep.
The top of the pit is about one meter long and one meter wide, and gets bigger as it goes down. At the bottom, which is three meters deep, the width has reached 1.5 meters and the length has reached two meters.
Just as Ye Tian said, when Jason and the others pried open the ground and dug down not very deep, they dug out several huge granite bars.
These granite strips are parallel to the passage behind the altar, firmly supporting the wall and altar above. Only where the passage is located there are no granite strips, which does not affect the excavation work.
In this way, it will be much easier for everyone to dig. There is no need to install supports every time you dig down, and the progress will naturally be much faster.
The granite and bricks taken from the altar have been numbered and placed on the ground at one end of the passage, numbered neatly.
In the extra hole behind the altar, there is a shelf made of metal components, which firmly supports the altar above without any problems.
While talking, another bucket of sand mixed with stones was lifted to the ground and then transported out of the passage.
Immediately afterwards, the voice of a company employee came up from the bottom of the pit.
“Steven, according to the previously detected signals, there are at most five centimeters more. We have dug up those metal objects. What should we do next?”
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian responded immediately.
“Derek, you can come up now. Leave the rest to me. No one can guarantee whether there are traps at the bottom of the pit. Let me handle it. This is safer and I have more experience.”
When he said these words, Ye Tian was already prepared, wearing a full set of protective clothing and a thin Kevlar body armor that also had powerful stab-proof functions.
At this time, he was standing at the edge of the pit, ready to go down to the bottom of the pit at any time and personally pick up the treasure that had been buried at the bottom of the pit for seven or eight hundred years!
“Okay, Steven, we’ll be up right away!”
Derrick at the bottom of the pit responded and shook the safety rope.
Soon, Derek and the others were pulled up and came to the ground.
Next, Ye Tian, who was tied with a safety rope, slowly descended to the bottom of the pit.
