Ye Hao opened the box, and inside were indeed San-Ba Da Gai (Type 38 Rifle)s, ten rifles neatly laid out in the box, along with their matching bayonets. Japan was poor, and bullets were limited, so soldiers before World War II had excellent bayonet fighting skills.
With the bayonet, the entire rifle was 1.7 meters long, twenty centimeters taller than the Japanese. The Hanyang-made rifle with a bayonet was only 135 centimeters, so under equal strength, using a Hanyang-made rifle would be slightly disadvantageous.
Ye Hao scanned the surroundings with his flashlight and found that the cave was quite large, with hundreds of such weapon crates. There were also many ammunition boxes.
This was not all; it was clear that Ye Hao's position was in the middle of this cave, as there were other spaces on both sides, and Ye Hao could only see a rough outline.
Ye Hao walked to his right, past the gun crates, and saw many boxes labeled [Howitzer Ammunition Box]. Further ahead were howitzers, mountain guns, grenade launchers, and various other cannons.
Seeing these cannons, Ye Hao's mood was very complex. If it were just some guns, it would be fine; he could put them into his space. But with so many cannons, even if he wanted to, his space couldn't hold them all. And with so many weapons, was he supposed to form a brigade? Was he going to fight the Russians or the Japanese? He quickly threw these unrealistic thoughts out of his mind.
Doing this in this land would probably lead to his immediate demise.
Further ahead was an iron door, which should be the true entrance and exit of this cave.
Ye Hao walked back. Passing the gun and bullet boxes, the boxes ahead were labeled [Type 97 Grenade]. Without opening them, Ye Hao knew these were the famous Japanese grenades. (It seemed like he stated the obvious.)
Further ahead were various supplies, nothing worth seeing.
An iron door appeared ahead, with a lock hanging on it.
Why would a place need to be separately locked? Ye Hao directly pulled out his gun and shot the lock.
Bang.
The lock was not broken.
"Oh, this lock is quite sturdy. One more shot."
Bang.
This shot directly opened the padlock.
"That's more like it. I thought you were tougher."
Ye Hao took off the padlock and opened the iron door.
A cloud of dust mixed with a musty smell rushed out. Ye Hao directly entered his space, bringing Aoxue, who had been following him since he entered the cave, into the space as well.
Who knew if the gas inside was poisonous? To be safe, he entered the space first, and after the dust settled, Ye Hao released a chicken to test for poison.
After observing for a while and finding no danger, Ye Hao and Aoxue came out of the space. Because it was too dark inside the cave, the hen lay motionless on the ground as soon as she came out. (Chickens cannot see clearly at night and will not run around at night.)
Aoxue saw the hen and immediately went up and dealt with her. She hadn't eaten things produced in the space for a long time and missed them a bit.
Ye Hao ignored Aoxue and walked straight through the iron door.
The space was not large, with only about ten boxes of varying sizes. The large ones were one meter square, and the small ones were only about thirty centimeters long.
Ye Hao came to the nearest box. This box was not very large, and it even had a small lock and a seal on it.
For such a small lock, Ye Hao directly exerted force with his arm and pulled it with his hand, and the small lock was torn off.
The flashlight beam shone on it, almost blinding him. What was that glittering golden object?
There was no need to think; only gold, the most expensive metal ordinary people could access, could emit such dazzling golden light.
Seeing so much gold, Ye Hao's breathing became somewhat rapid. Although he had a space and would definitely be very rich in the future, who could remain indifferent with so much gold in front of them? Moreover, this was Ye Hao's first time encountering gold so closely. In his previous life, a small ring or necklace from a certain Six Blessings store would cost him one or two months' salary.
Ye Hao closed this box and opened the other boxes. A total of ten boxes contained gold bricks, seemingly hundreds to thousands of kilograms.
The two largest boxes contained jewelry and ornaments, and there were three boxes of calligraphy and paintings. They seemed to be well preserved, and the boxes were tightly sealed, so they hadn't gotten damp.
The remaining boxes contained jade, tian jade jewelry, and Ornaments . The Old Hag loved jade, and with her influence, many officials at that time valued jade as precious. In earlier years, the popularity of mutton-fat white tian jade was not as high as jade.
Most of these were jade, with only a few high-quality tian jade pieces.
Seeing these jade artifacts, Ye Hao felt a slight tremor from the Qinglian Xuan Jade in his Sea of Consciousness.
Ye Hao unhesitatingly put all these jades into his space. He hadn't forgotten that jade could upgrade the space, but before, in the capital, time was short, and he didn't know those who dealt in jade. Besides, his money at that time was not legitimately obtained. It was better to keep a low profile in the capital. The waters were too deep, and the waves were too big.
Previously, he had planned to find an opportunity to go to Xinjiang Province or secretly go to Myanmar to get high-quality jade.
Now that there was such a good opportunity, he would definitely upgrade his space first. This space upgrade was the top priority.
As soon as the jade entered the space, Ye Hao's consciousness was ejected from the space.
Ye Hao was not in a hurry. After a few breaths, the Qinglian Xuan Jade transmitted information to Ye Hao, saying that she had completed the upgrade.
Ye Hao directly entered the space. As soon as he entered, he felt a sense of vastness. The previous central warehouse area, which was basically filled with various sundries, was now completely cleared out.
After some inspection, the space had expanded from its original 100 meters in length and width to 1000 meters. The area had increased by 100 times.
He used his mind to control the extra space, planting crops and pastures according to the previous plan, allowing the animals in the space to grow happily.
The fish pond had also expanded a lot and was now a small lake.
The biggest change was the seed in the small pond. Its vitality was almost gone before, but ever since Ye Hao entered the space and planted plants and raised animals there, the vitality of this seed, which Ye Hao had planted in the small pond, had been slowly recovering. Although the recovery was not fast, after these few months of recovery, it was already full of vitality.
With this space upgrade, this seed actually sprouted directly.
Seeing the seed sprout, Ye Hao was overjoyed. This was the seed of the Creation Green Lotus! If it could grow into a Creation Green Lotus, he wondered if a Pangu could be conceived within it, haha. He was thinking a bit too far ahead. At this seed's growth rate, Ye Hao probably wouldn't see it grow up in this lifetime.
Ye Hao placed his hand on the stone tablet, feeling the changes in the Qinglian Xuan Jade.
Besides the increased area, there were three other major changes.
Ye Hao could set up two areas in the space, each with a maximum area of 100*100. One of these areas could be time-frozen, just like a warehouse; whatever was put in would remain the same no matter how long it stayed there.
The other area could achieve a 100-fold external flow rate, meaning 100 days passed there while only 1 day passed outside. With this function, wouldn't it be invincible to plant some rare medicinal herbs and timber here?
Ye Hao could also implement his other plan, but this plan would require Lu Bingsheng's help, which was a plan Ye Hao had from the beginning.
As for the last one, Ye Hao could change the flow rate in other parts of the space. Previously, it was ten times, but now he could change it arbitrarily between 1 and 10 times, instead of the original fixed ten-fold flow rate. Although this function was not as amazing as the first two, it could still be useful at times.
