Digging a cellar is a huge project.
Li Aiguo originally planned to take two or three months to complete.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse on the fifth day of the official excavation.
Li Aiguo dug the steel drill into the soil as usual and heard a clang.
Did you hit a brick?
Li Aiguo changed the direction again, dug the steel drill in, and heard another clang.
This is really evil.
Why are there so many bricks buried half a meter underground?
Li Aiguo changed directions several times in a row, and all he could hear were banging sounds. Only then did he realize that the bottom was not broken bricks, but something like a wall.
"Have we dug an ancient tomb?" Chen Xueru also became excited at this time, and the flashlight beam was shaking randomly on the ground.
"Bring the shovel."
Li Aiguo stretched out his hand from the hole, took the shovel, dug up all the virtual soil on the ground, and wiped away the broken soil below with his hand. What caught his eye was A brick wall.
“It’s a brick wall up and down, probably not an ancient tomb.”
Li Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief.
According to regulations, once cultural relics and ancient tombs are discovered at the project site, work must be stopped. He was still hesitating whether to report this thing just now, but it seems that it is no longer necessary.
The green bricks had been underground for some years. Li Aiguo picked up the steel drill and dug a hole in it.
After waiting for a while, he lit a lighter and reached in. When he saw that the flames were not extinguished, he got in through the hole.
With the help of the flashlight beam, it can be seen that this is a secret room. The secret room is more than two meters high and covers an area of about ten square meters.
The original entrance to the secret room was located on the east side. Li Aiguo visually measured the distance and deduced that the entrance should be in the cellar of the courtyard.
It seems that this is a secret room arranged by the dignitaries who used to live in the compound.
As for whether he was a Tatar official or someone higher up, Li Aiguo couldn't figure it out. After all, the houses in the capital changed owners too many times.
All forces, you sing and I appear on the stage, anyone can leave a little trace.
Li Aiguo was feeling a little excited at this time.
Secret rooms are always associated with treasures.
If you can find some small yellow croakers, you will make a fortune.
Unfortunately, after walking around in the secret room three or four times with a flashlight, Li Aiguo found that he was overthinking.
This secret room is empty, and the only objects are a few large vats. There are traces of wheat and rice in the vats.
The reason why we say they are traces is because after a few years, the wheat and rice turned into black dots under the ravages of time.
However, Li Aiguo was not particularly disappointed.
The value of this secret room is already more than a few small yellow croakers.
A secret room the size of a room, if filled with food, would be enough to feed a dozen people for three years.
Of course, before the secret room can be officially opened, the official entrance must be sealed.
“Find some more bricks and build that side and that’s it.”
Li Aiguo climbed out of the secret room after making up his mind.
Chen Xueru seemed extremely happy to learn that there was a secret room below.
"We can save a lot of energy now. If we don't have antiques, we won't have them. Those things shouldn't be eaten or drank."
Miss Chen is also a contented person.
In the following days, Li Aiguo used old bricks to seal the eastern entrance of the cellar. Because a layer of soil was specially added to the outside of the bricks, even if someone discovered the entrance in the cellar, , all you can see is the yellow earth.
The entrance to the cellar is located under a cabinet and covered by a heavy wooden board. After covering the wooden board, Li Aiguo moved the cabinet back to its original position and blocked the wooden board tightly.
"The next step is to store food."
"When spring comes, you take He Yuyu to the suburbs to dig wild vegetables. After they are dried, they can be stored for a year without breaking."
"I plan to replace all the fine grains this month with coarse grains, and let Wang Dakui go to the pigeon market to buy some grains."
"People have to eat meat. Drying meat here is too conspicuous. Wait. After a while, I will get a big fat pig and send it to Weizhuang Commune and ask them to help marinate it into bacon."
Li Aiguo is not short of money now, not counting the money he earned from his partnership with Wang Dakui. The monthly salary is more than 100 yuan, and now the total savings are several thousand yuan.
However, if you use money to buy food stamps on a large scale, it will definitely attract the attention of others.
Li Aiguo has been in and out of the weather station many times, and he knows better than anyone else that if you buy dozens of kilograms of grain at the pigeon market, no one will pay attention to you.
If you buy or sell thousands of kilograms of grain at one time, someone will want to talk to you before you leave the pigeon market.
The gang led Long Aotian from QQ Farm to sell tens of thousands of tons of grain to the pigeon market. Do they really plan to feed the entire capital on their own?
Chen Xueru squatted on the ground with her butt stuck out, watching the rough man twirling his fingers. Instead of feeling bored, his heart was filled with a sense of security.
Li Aiguo was planning to save food, and the time came to the end of the month before he knew it.
He drove back that day and received a call from the weather station. The military factory had sent special explosives to the weather station.
Li Aiguo had not seen Zhao Laoshuan for seven or eight days. He rode his bicycle to the tavern in Zhengyangmen, bought a pot of old wine from Xu Huizhen, hung it on the handlebar of his bicycle, and swung it around. Wandering to the weather station.
The comrade responsible for delivering explosives came from the 5411 Factory. Li Aiguo knew Wang Xianke, the chief engineer of the 5411 Factory, and went to the 5411 Factory several times to deal with the rocket launcher matter.
In order to avoid leaking the secret, Li Aiguo did not come forward in person, but Captain Dong was responsible for passing on the message.
This kind of explosive is a mixed explosive with total nitrogen anion salt added. It is incredibly powerful and has an energy density several times that of traditional TNT explosives.
Li Aiguo looked at the black thing and rubbed his hands in excitement. This thing was much more powerful than the pentaerythritol tetranitrate used by Mossad to manipulate pagers.
Such a big piece is enough to turn the bunker upside down.
The problem now is the delayed detonation device.
“Considering that the target is a bunker, there is no way to use radio detonation, so we adopted the method of electric current heating detonation. Specifically, once the detonator is powered on, after seven days, the internal resistance will melt, thereby detonating the explosive.”
The explosives expert sitting in the next room was worried and explained the principle of the detonating device in detail.
“Have you tried it?”
“You have tried it more than fifty times, and the success rate is 100%.”
“Thank you very much.”
Listen At this point, Captain Dong signaled that the explosives expert could leave.
The explosives expert wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead.
As an expert at Factory 5411, he has performed many confidential tasks on a daily basis, but the level of confidentiality has never been as high as this one.
In particular, he felt that the person in the next room seemed to be a knowledgeable person, and every question he asked hit the key point.
After the explosives expert left, Li Aiguo asked Captain Dong to bring the "special explosives" to the computing institute.
"Comrade driver, is this thing going to explode?" Captain Dong just heard an explosives expert say that just a tiny bit of this explosive can blow up a person's legs and feet.
If such a large piece explodes, the entire weather station cannot be saved.
“Don’t worry, there is no detonator to detonate it. Even if you throw it into the fire, it will not explode.”
Li Aiguo was still praising the explosives expert’s fantastic idea. .
You must know that the special explosive is installed in the reading device of the electronic tube computer, and when the reading device is running, it must be powered on.
In this way, the explosion time can be controlled skillfully.
