Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After a good night's rest, Liang En and the four of them checked out early the next morning, took their luggage and drove to the previous warehouse area. After paying the money and getting the keys, they immediately ran towards the target.

"Which one should we start with?" Fan Meng asked while eating the sandwich in his hand. "No. 127." Liang En said after swallowing the food in his mouth. This was the warehouse he and Pierce had previously bought in partnership for the store, so naturally he should be the first to open it.

They paid $800 for this warehouse at the time, because at first sight several people saw what looked like a chandelier behind a board inside.

After opening the warehouse door with the key, the four people immediately packed up. It has to be said that the more people there are, the faster they can pack up, so half an hour after entering the venue, they had almost packed up everything in the warehouse.

There are a large number of boxes in this warehouse, as well as some covered glass pieces and golden and silver metal pipes. These things are not very light, so they are much easier to carry when there are many people.

"What are these things?" When almost all the things were moved to the car, Joan asked Liang En, who was sitting on the empty box with Pierce to study those things.

In her view, as a vassal, you need to assist your lord in various tasks. For example, in the past, she used the sword in her hand to fight bravely for the King of Dharma, but now she naturally has to help Liang En complete his adventure and treasure hunt.

However, unlike fighting on the battlefield, completing such work now requires a lot of knowledge, so Joan of Arc now seizes every opportunity to learn this knowledge.

"These are some lamps from the 1950s and 1960s." Although Liang En didn't know what Jeanne was thinking, he was willing to answer the questions of those who asked as long as it was convenient.

"Although these desk lamps are industrial products, their prototypes are modeled after the hand-made lamps of the American Gilded Age in the early 20th century. The overall look is very beautiful."

As he spoke, Liang En took out a glass lampshade. The frame of this glass lampshade was woven from gold-plated copper wire, and the inside was inlaid with carved glass made of colored glass. The whole thing was full of artistic sense.

"Indeed." Joan of Arc nodded. For such daily necessities, beauty can be seen at a glance, and the glass lampshade that Liang En is holding now is obviously a beautiful little thing.

"If these things are brought to the UK, they can be sold for about 10,000 pounds in total." After counting the contents of these boxes, Pierce gave a rough estimate of the price.

"There is a huge demand for lamps of this style in some coffee shops, restaurants and luxury stores in London, especially lamps that are older, so we only need to spend more than a thousand pounds to replace these lamps with new circuits and The light bulb should fetch a good price."

After cleaning this warehouse, they next cleaned the warehouse that Pierce had found earlier. Compared with the previous warehouse, the value of this warehouse is lower.

Although the furniture inside does belong to the early 20th century, unfortunately there are no complete sets except for a set of dining tables and chairs, so the overall profit is not very high.

"Okay, let's open the last warehouse." After cleaning two warehouses in succession, Liang En and the others felt a little exhausted.

But because everyone was now very curious about what was in the last warehouse, they simply asked Fan Meng to buy a bunch of fried chicken burgers from the nearby Golden Arches to quickly fill his stomach, and then opened the door of the last warehouse.

"Oh my god, this is a big discovery." After lifting the oilcloth covering the thing facing the door, Fan Meng exclaimed.

"Is this a gun or a cannon?" Pierce looked at the dusty iron guy with confusion on his face.

If this thing is a cannon, it looks a bit small, but if it is a gun, neither the separate upper and lower gun mounts, shields, or separate muzzle brakes are what a gun should have.

"This should be an old-fashioned heavy anti-tank gun." As a former soldier, Fan Meng roughly recognized what it was. "It was an anti-tank weapon used by infantrymen from the end of World War I to the beginning of World War II. .”

"It's just that as the armor of tanks became thicker and thicker, the effectiveness of these things became less and less effective. Therefore, they were eventually eliminated by anti-tank rocket launchers."

"But after the 1980s, this thing was resurrected again as the concept of an anti-materiel rifle. But the opponents were no longer those sturdy main battle tanks, but became helicopters, light armored vehicles or other high-value targets."

"I know what this is." Taking this opportunity to take a photo and search it online, Liang En immediately understood what kind of weapon it was. "28mm sPzB 41 light conical bore anti-tank gun used by Germany in World War II."

This gun is equipped with a tapered barrel with an initial caliber of 28mm and a muzzle diameter of 20mm, a horizontal bolt similar to an artillery gun, and an average rate of fire of ten rounds per minute.

This tapered barrel gives this gun unparalleled armor-piercing capability for the same caliber. The muzzle velocity of a 0.1305-kg armor-piercing projectile can reach 1402m/s after being launched. When it hits the vertical steel handle at 100 meters, the penetration depth can reach 94mm.

Compared with the 20~30mm vertical armor-piercing capabilities of other anti-tank rifles, the armor-piercing capabilities of this German rifle can be said to be far ahead, or even not in the same dimension at all.

However, in order to obtain this armor-piercing capability, the price paid for this gun is heavy enough.

On the one hand, the standard version of this gun weighs 229kg. Even the one in front of Liang En has small wheels and only a single-leg frame. The paratrooper version, which uses a large number of hollow tubular structures and lightweight alloys, also weighs 118kg. It simply cannot be used by a single soldier.

On the other hand, this tapered barrel has extremely high internal chamber pressure when used, so its service life is greatly shortened. On average, the barrel must be replaced every 500 rounds of bullets fired.

Therefore, as the armor of tanks became thicker in the latter part of World War II, the raw material for tungsten core bullets used in this gun became increasingly rare, so production of this weapon was discontinued in 1943.

As the four people worked together, they quickly found two spare barrels, six empty ammunition boxes each holding 12 rounds of bullets, and a ZF 1х11 optical sight from the surrounding containers.

"The various spare parts of this gun are actually neat!" After installing all the found parts on the anti-tank gun, Liang En was pleasantly surprised.

Only 2,797 such firearms were produced in history. Considering the war and such a long time, not many can be preserved to this day, let alone such complete accessories.

Therefore, if he finds the right person, he can easily sell this gun for two to three hundred thousand dollars, which can be regarded as a big gain. More importantly, he also obtained a [Detection (N)] from this gun. 】.

In addition to the gun and its accessories, Liang En and the others also found four paratrooper helmets in the warehouse, a complete set with the Iron Cross Second Class, the Black War Wound Medal, the Paratrooper Badge, the Russian Frontline Medal, and the Infantry Assault Badge. Luftwaffe lieutenant's uniform, and a Chasik saber with a swastika on it.

These things were all sorted and packed in boxes. In order to avoid collisions, people even stuffed a lot of waste newspapers and wood shavings inside. So in this case everything is preserved very well.

Obviously, buying this warehouse is a very good business for Liang En. According to his estimation, this pile of things may be sold for US$500,000, which is completely considered a big gain.
