Chapter 613 Four Warehouses
Today is January 16, 2019, and the "restricted-level time and space shuttle" skill of the Holy Ring can only travel to the space nodes 40 years ago, so Yang Jing can only travel to the maximum of January 16, 1979.
As for the spatial coordinates, it is naturally the base secretly built by the Japanese army during World War II under the west island of the Maug Islands.
Because of the four cigarette boxes, Yang Jing had a bold guess, that is, the amount of wealth stored in this base back then was probably not fully moved until the 1980s.
With the powerful space-time shuttle ability of the "restricted-level space-time shuttle" skill, Yang Jing could have actually shuttled directly to the base in 1979 to confirm it. However, in order to retain more suspense and expectations for himself, Yang Jing endured it until he returned to China before going to confirm it.
That's right, this time, Yang Jing's main purpose was to use the space-time shuttle skill in his home bathroom for the first time. He wanted to confirm his guess and see if the base had no wealth in 1979.
Yang Jing was worried that there were still people stationed in the base in 1979, so he set the shuttle space at a corner of the warehouse area. This corner is located in a small aisle between the warehouse and the rock wall. No matter whether it is a boat platform or a row of houses, it is impossible to see here directly.
When Yang Jing's figure appeared in this base again, Yang Jing, who was a little worried, was relieved. Because the entire warehouse was still a large area of darkness, it didn't look like someone at all.
After thinking about it, I felt relieved. After all, the Maoge Islands became the custodial territory of the United States after the war. Even if the autonomous state was established, it was the Gulf territory of the United States. The Japanese had long been completely beaten by the Americans, and they would never dare to cause trouble under the noses of their American fathers.
In addition, this base may also store a lot of wealth, so the Japanese are definitely unwilling to let the Americans discover this base, so instead of leaving the base empty and no one to see it, it is a hundred times safer than leaving soldiers to garrison here.
However, in order to make sure there was no one, Yang Jing took out a stone from the space and threw it hard at the opposite boat platform. After the stone landed, it made a very loud sound. Then it rolled on the ground a few times, and fell into the water with a "thump".
The sound caused by this big stone echoed a lot in this empty space, and the sound was also very loud. If there were someone in the base, you would definitely hear this sound.
Yang Jing waited for about half a minute and didn't see anyone coming out or the lights were on, which is enough to prove that there is indeed no one in this base.
Now Yang Jing felt relieved, and then a helmet with a spotlight was quickly worn on Yang Jing's head, and a spotlight was also fixed on his shoulder. After turning on the switch, the area in front of him that was originally unable to see his fingers suddenly became bright.
Yang Jing quickly walked to the main road in the middle of these twenty-four warehouses, and the gates of the twenty-four warehouses were facing this main road.
However, there are already twenty of the twenty-four warehouses open. Yang Jing spent a little time exploring one by one, but found that the warehouse where the doors opened was indeed empty. Only in the four warehouses near the row of houses in the middle of the base were still closed.
This discovery made Yang Jing somewhat excited. Although he was just preparing to come here to investigate this time, he actually found four warehouses that were most likely not yet transported. Then Yang Jing felt that he could stay here for a short time.
After all, at this time node, the time flow rate is as high as 10:1. After spending ten hours here, only one hour has passed at home.
Yang Jing came to the front of the gate of a warehouse. On the gate, the circular door bolt as thick as a child's arm was locked with a huge lock. However, this did not prevent Yang Jing. As soon as the storage space skill was activated, the big lock disappeared immediately.
When I opened the rusty door, the things stored in the warehouse suddenly became the light of the spotlights at the two stops.
The golden light was a little dazzling, but it made Yang Jing feel a little disappointed.
"It's true that they are all some gold and other precious metals." Yang Jing shook his head slightly and walked into the warehouse. Originally, Yang Jing was hoping that some precious cultural relics and antiques could be left in these warehouses, but now it seems that this expectation is destined to be a luxury.
It’s no wonder that the environment of this warehouse is not very good. The humidity here is relatively high. If the precious antiques of calligraphy and painting are stored in this environment for a long time, they will inevitably be damaged by the environment here. Therefore, this warehouse may have stored many precious antiques and cultural relics before, but they should have been taken away by the Japanese soon.
During World War II, Japan plundered various antiques and cultural relics in China, and the number of them can only be described as "shocking". Although Yang Jing had never seen the antiques and cultural relics that the Japanese plundered in China with his own eyes, after reading too many reports, he was left with only sadness in his heart besides anger.
I originally wanted to use this base to reclaim some antique cultural relics that the Japanese robbed back then, but now it seems unlikely. The Japanese swear is not stupid either. Those treasures that are not easy to preserve have long been taken away and hidden in other places with good environments.
There are rows of very strong steel racks in this warehouse, but most of the racks are empty. Only on the racks near the door are there, there are a lot of precious metals such as gold on it, emitting a faint light under the light.
Although there are no antique artifacts as expected, some of these precious metals are also very good. These things were robbed by the Japanese from Asian countries back then. If they don’t take them away, it won’t take long before these precious metals will be brought back to the local area by the Japanese and will become part of their luxurious life of His Majesty the Emperor.
Moreover, there are a lot of these precious metals. Yang Jing only made a rough estimate and found that the gold stored in this warehouse alone was less than fifty tons.
All these golds were cast into pieces of gold bricks, which were similar in size to those that Yang Jing found in the water pressure tank of the "First Xingxing Wan", but the number was much higher than those in the shipwreck.
Next to these gold, some silver-white and black metal ingots were placed. Yang Jing walked over and looked carefully before he could identify the identities of these metal ingots.
Most of the metal ingots with silver-white color are platinum; the same color is silver-white, but much lighter than platinum, metal should be palladium.
Whether it is palladium or platinum, it is collectively called "platinum" by the Chinese people because of its silver-white metallic color. This is a precious metal with a value of gold, and its output is far lower than that of gold. Whether it is platinum or palladium, its reserves on the earth are similar, and they are only 8% of the gold reserves.
Next to these platinums is a pile of black metal ingots. After checking for a long time, Yang Jing realized that this metal ingot is likely to be the legendary "black gold".
The so-called black gold refers to the rhodium in the platinum group metal, also called rhodium gold. Because this metal exhibits a gray-black metallic luster in ordinary environments, this metal is once again called "black gold".
As the saying goes, "Scarcity is precious." The storage amount of rhodium on the earth is far lower than that of gold and platinum, only about one-tenth of platinum, so the value of this black gold is far greater than that of gold and platinum.
Although there are not many black gold in front of me, the weight is about less than two tons, its value is comparable to five tons of gold. This is because the price of rhodium has dropped a lot recently. If it were more than ten years ago, the price of rhodium was more than seven times that of gold!
But no matter what, the value of about fifty tons of gold, about ten tons of platinum and these black gold is amazing enough. Although I have not obtained the antique cultural relics I expected, these gains are enough to be worthy of the hard work I have put in the past few days when I took a group of people to find this base in the Maoge Islands.
Without saying anything, these things can naturally be left to the Japanese. Yang Jing just stretched out his left hand and walked past these shelves, and then all these priceless precious metals were taken into storage space by Yang Jing.
After cleaning up the warehouse, Yang Jing continued to sweep the remaining three warehouses. Most of the remaining three warehouses were precious metals, mainly gold bricks, gold foil, and gold powder, and there was no platinum and black gold.
The remaining three warehouses allowed Yang Jing to harvest more than 100 tons of gold bricks and dozens of tons of gold foil and gold powder. The gold obtained in these four warehouses alone exceeded 200 tons!
This number is definitely a lot, but Yang Jing not only did not feel happy, but on the contrary, he felt a little frightened and then began to be angry.
This base is just one of the many secret bases built by Little Japan back then, and the base has been almost moved, and the remaining precious metals are probably not even 3% of the original ones. It is conceivable how many precious metals and other wealth the Japanese robbed in Asia back then.
If you really count, these more than 200 tons of gold may not be even one thousandth of all the wealth robbed by the Japanese. This number is really terrifying, it makes people feel cold all over, and it will make people feel uncontrollably angry!
The Japanese in those days were even more locusts than locusts and even more robbers than the most brutal robbers. They were not human at all! Even beasts were not as good as beasts!
The anger made Yang Jing almost lose control, but in the end, a few boxes in a corner of the warehouse made him forcibly suppress his annoyance.
These boxes are all wooden boxes. The wood outside is almost rotten, and the lid of the box is also opened. If it is estimated that it is good, the treasure that should have been in it should have been taken away by the Japanese.
