Unfortunately, what he got was a super rich system, not a treasure hunting system. Last time, he went to a wild tomb in the western border. Not to mention the treasures, even the bones of the tomb owner were taken away and sold by weight.
Today, Xia Yu saw an opportunity to play the role of a treasure hunter. This Amber Room sounded a little strange. Is it some kind of great treasure?
Confused, he searched the Internet and found something amazing. It turned out to be a gift from King William I of Prussia to Peter the Great. It was a house inlaid with more than 6 tons of amber and precious jewels. It was probably the legendary Golden House!
No, at that time the price of amber was 12 times that of gold. Considering the quality, it was a real luxury.
Unfortunately, the Amber Room was looted by the Nazis in 1941. All the amber and jewelry were completely dismantled and packed into 27 boxes, and their whereabouts are unknown.
This is one of the many undiscovered treasures of the Nazis. In order to make a comeback after their defeat, the Nazis plundered wealth from all over Europe and hid it in many treasures. Among them are the discovered Merckx treasure and undiscovered treasures like the Amber Room.
According to information retrieved online, the 27 boxes of Amber Room may have been sunk into Lake Toplitz in Austria, but the appearance of the treasure map today made Xia Yu feel that this was not the case.
The Amber Room might be sleeping somewhere else, and he has to find a way to find this treasure.
By the end of this year, the first phase of construction on Kanai Island will be completed. If he vacates this room and turns it into a real Amber Room, it will definitely be beautiful!
Xia Yu is not short of money. He enjoys the process of treasure hunting and does not need to sell the treasures he has obtained. He is like a greedy dragon. He accumulates more and more rare treasures, but never sells them to others.
If this accumulation continues, it won’t be long before Kana Island becomes a treasure island.
Taking a deep breath, he resisted the urge to withdraw the treasure map. Before there was storage space, the safest place in the world was the system's temporary storage space. But once he chose to withdraw the treasure map, he couldn't put it back.
Then there's his Hive Base, which is located deep in the earth's crust and even earth-penetrating bombs can't penetrate it...
Yes, what empty room is there? Just decorate the main entrance elevator connecting the residence to the Beehive Base into the Amber Room. The reserved elevator shaft is about 80 square meters, while the area of the Amber Room is only about 55 square meters, which is just the right size for an elevator.
In that case, no one except Xia Yu would have imagined that the magnificent Amber Room was actually an elevator, an elevator leading to the hive base.
This kind of surprise is what we want, just like the entrance to Grandpa’s Batcave. Each version is different, but very creative.
Putting away his phone, Xia Yu prepared to start his journey to the Winter Palace. The Amber Room was already in his pocket, so there was no need to rush. However, there was a replica built in this century in St. Petersburg, and he could go and see it when he had time later.
Although the same materials are used, replicas are just replicas and have no artistic or historical value. Only the originals can be considered rare treasures.
Walking to the Winter Palace, which was once the private museum of Empress Catherine II, Xia Yu was wondering whether to call his private museum on the island the Summer Palace?
Summer Palace. There are many palaces with this name. There is a summer palace 40 kilometers away from St. Petersburg. The summer palace in China has another name, called the Summer Palace.
In addition, the Chinese restaurant of Shangri-La Hotel is also called Summer Palace. Xia Yu's Summer Palace is similar to the Winter Palace. It is a comprehensive private museum that collects various antiques, calligraphy and paintings from the East and the West, rare treasures, and various modern and contemporary weapons and equipment.
The insensitive ones will be placed in the main museum on the island, and the sensitive ones will be placed in the branch library at the base under the island, which will greatly satisfy his desire to collect.
Standing outside the Winter Palace, the three colors of blue, white and gold make up the gorgeous appearance of this palace, but the real magnificence is inside. When Xia Yu stepped in, he was shocked by this Russian luxury.
The largest collection in the museum is the countless oil paintings on the walls, including figures, landscapes, religious and abstract paintings, but he still prefers landscapes.
The camera can capture the most primitive and natural scenery, but human brushes can express more emotions. Xia Yu carefully appreciated each painting, and Shelov followed behind him, whispering about the history of the Winter Palace.
It would have been much better to have an explanation, especially since we hadn't done any homework in advance. Time flew by and it was already noon. The two of them came to the cafe on the first floor of the Winter Palace and had a simple meal.
The maintenance and renovation of a museum is not cheap, and if the ticket revenue is not enough, the business will be meaningless. For example, the Forbidden City also has restaurants.
After a simple meal, the two continued their tour. The Winter Palace has a construction area of more than 46,000 square meters. Although it is only a fraction of the Forbidden City, it would take almost a week to carefully view the rich collection.
Xia Yu didn't have that much time, so he sped up his tour in the afternoon, visiting St. Peter's Hall, Raphael Gallery, St. George's Hall, the 1812 Military Gallery, and the neat and solemn golden columns in the National Emblem Hall.
After a quick look, he had a different perspective on that unfamiliar period of history.
The feudal system created such a luxurious palace. There is no need to criticize the limitations of the times. We should examine that period of history, remember those historical events, and not let future generations mourn for them.
Tired from walking, Xia Yu sat on a bench in the inner courtyard. The Western-style palace looked like a large quadrangle, with the main buildings surrounding it forming a large courtyard.
He has no particular fondness for courtyard houses and does not own any property in the capital, but the main castle on Kanai Island is designed like a Western-style palace castle, with an inner courtyard to provide better lighting in the rooms.
