The calculation data of each explosion point have been repeatedly measured, and the cracks inside the rock wall also gave Ning Xiaofan the possibility of blasting through the rock wall.
Bang bang bang bang——
As dull explosions sounded one after another, the water surface began to boil like boiling water in a pot. The churning water surface continued for several minutes, and finally calmed down.
Is this the end?
There was no earth-shattering sound, nor the imaginary scene of rock fragments flying all over the sky. Except for Ning Xiaofan, who was determined, everyone present could not help but look at each other, wondering whether the underwater blasting was a success or a failure?
"Hey! Look, everyone, the water level seems to have dropped!" Yang Hai suddenly pointed at the underground river.
After hearing this, everyone, including Ning Xiaofan, was stunned for a moment.
There seems to be no change in the calm water surface. If you look closely, you will find that the water level has really dropped a little. It is not very obvious, it is only two fingers wide. It is really not easy to notice if you don't look carefully.
The water level dropped, which meant that the water flow had an outlet, and it also meant that the rock wall had been blown through. Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This waterway should be opened. Let's pack up our equipment and prepare to go into the water."
After everyone heard this, they were about to turn around and take care of themselves. At this time, Yang Hai, who had been observing the water level, said: "Wait a minute, the current is a bit fast, we have to wait until the water slows down."
Upon hearing this, everyone took a closer look at the water surface. Sure enough, the water level was not falling very fast, but whirlpools of different sizes were already appearing on the water surface, accompanied by the faint roar of water washing against the rock wall.
The current was turbulent and formed an undercurrent whirlpool. It was obviously not safe to enter the water now, so everyone had to wait for the water to slow down.
But what everyone didn't expect was that several hours had passed by waiting...
The strange thing is that when the water level drops to a certain level, there seems to be no movement, but the water flow is still rapid. However, through the water and electricity, you can vaguely see the hole in the rock wall that was blasted underwater.
The entrance to the cave is rugged and large in area, with a diameter of nearly four meters. Under the light of the water and electricity, it looks like a sinister and devouring mouth.
Waiting is a very tiring thing. In the dark and strange underground world, there is almost no concept of time. No one deliberately looked at the time display on the watch. They only knew that during the waiting process, the group had already used four
A good meal and a good night's sleep.
During the long and excruciating wait, the water level, which seemed to be motionless, dropped a little. Although it was slow, the blasted hole was less than a foot away from the water surface, and everyone could see that it was passing through little by little.
Hope at the entrance of the cave.
The water level has been arranged for people to take turns to observe it. When everyone gathered together to prepare for the fifth meal, they heard Lao Wang who was observing the water level not far away shouting excitedly: "It's exposed, the entrance to the cave is exposed."
When Ning Xiaofan and others heard the shouting, they couldn't help but put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands and ran towards the edge of the platform.
When they arrived at the platform, everyone saw at a glance that a corner of the hole that had been submerged under water had been exposed.
The fat man immediately exclaimed: "Ah, the entrance to the cave is really exposed. I thought I would have to wait for a day or two."
No wonder the fat man was so emotional. The entrance to the cave had been immersed in water. When the water level dropped, it seemed that the entrance to the cave was less than a foot away from the water. Then it dropped a little more. Then, the drop in the water level seemed to have stopped. The entrance to the cave had always been
Being in a state of being exposed but not exposed, the true appearance is never revealed.
The water level dropped and stagnated, but the water flow was still turbulent. Everyone thought that the water level had dropped, and Ning Xiaofan and others were secretly anxious, thinking that they did not know how long they would have to wait. Unexpectedly, the stagnant water level
It actually dropped again, and the scale of the drop was not small.
At this time, everyone noticed that the water level was still dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they could clearly hear the sound of water rushing through the entrance of the cave. The water flow seemed to become more rapid.
"I said, the water level has dropped too fast." The fat man couldn't help but muttered.
"Fat brother, why don't you go down faster? Why don't you go all the way down?" Hou San said excitedly on the side.
After hearing this, the fat man blinked his little eyes and said: "That's right, it's best to drain all the water here. Hey, by then, the brothers don't have to swim so hard to get there, and can go directly from the entrance of the cave below.
It’s so easy to walk over.”
At this time, Yang Hai, who was quietly standing by and observing the water level, said: "I'm afraid we did something good this time. If not, the water level of the half-flooded outpost may have dropped by now."
As soon as Yang Hai said these words, everyone couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful look in their eyes.
The fat man's mind was bright, and he suddenly thought of something, and said hurriedly: "Damn it, Lao Yang, what you said, does it mean that the water level in this water area has dropped? When the water level drops to a certain level, other prospecting teams will
Isn’t it much more convenient to explore the road, then isn’t it a big bargain?”
Yang Hai sighed and said, "I'm afraid that's the case. The water in this area should have poured in from the water outlet we blasted. Otherwise, the water level would not have dropped so slowly."
After hearing this, Hou San said a little angrily: "Your sister, we finally managed to find a passage here, but we took advantage of other bastards. This... this is not cost-effective."
"That's right, I donated blood, so why should I take advantage of outsiders?" Biaozi also echoed with an unconvinced look on his face.
At this time, Ning Xiaofan frowned slightly and said: "Okay, okay, I can't say who is getting the advantage. It's good that we can blow up this exit. Besides, we don't know how low the water level can drop. If the water level is still
If it's so urgent, we have to continue to wait. We don't know how long it will take, so you guys should just calm down."
After Ning Xiaofan spoke, Fatty, Hou San and others fell silent. The water level had dropped, but if the water was still so strong, it would not be suitable to go into the water at all, and they would be trapped here unable to move.
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but lose interest and dispersed one after another.
I don’t know if it was lunch or dinner, but Sakon still had to wait. Everyone gathered together to play cards, chat, and kill time...
I don’t know how long it took, but when it was Zhang Chun’s turn to guard the water level, he came back with the news that the water flow had begun to slow down, and the water level had dropped a lot, with half of the cave entrance exposed.
Zhang Chun's news lifted everyone's spirits and gathered at the edge of the platform again.
Just as Zhang Chun said, the water level has dropped a lot, and the rugged entrance to the hole that was blown up has been halfway out of the water. Not only has the water slowed down, it seems to have stopped.
Has the water stopped?
Everyone couldn't help but look at me, and everyone looked at me with excitement in their eyes.
While observing the water, Ning Xiaofan touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then looked at Yang Hai and said, "Old Yang, how are your water properties?"
"It's okay..." Yang Hai responded in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"You put on your equipment, go into the cave and explore the way down, and see what's going on on the other side of this passage."
"Oh, I understand." Yang Hai responded, turned around and went to organize the equipment.
Seeing that Yang Hai didn't hesitate, Ning Xiaofan's eyes flickered, then turned to Hou San and said: "Hou San, this is your duty to explore the path. You should also go prepare and go with Lao Yang."
After hearing this, Hou San was startled for a moment, then nodded with a grimace, turned and left.
Ning Xiaofan then said to the rest of the people: "Okay, let's all pack up our equipment. Once Lao Yang and Hou San have found the way, it's almost time for us to set off."
When everyone started to pack their bags, Lao Yang and Hou San had already equipped themselves with diving equipment and went into the water one after another with waterproof lights.
The entrance to the cave is halfway out of the water, so you can no longer use diving equipment. You can just swim in. Bringing diving equipment is also a precaution.
Ning Xiaofan once scanned the rock wall where the hole was blown out. It is more than five meters thick. If nothing goes wrong, Yang Hai and Hou San will be able to walk through this passage soon.
Sure enough, after everyone packed their bags and waited at the shore for a long time, Hou San's figure was revealed at the end of the cave entrance, but Yang Hai's figure was missing.
Before Ning Xiaofan could ask a question, Hou San said excitedly: "It's clear, over there... the area over there is so big, you can't even see the side at a glance..."
When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly asked: "You can't see the side at a glance? You damn monkey, tell me clearly, what is the big area? Is it dangerous? Where is that guy Lao Yang?"
Hou San swallowed his saliva and said, "Fat brother, it's a lake. It's a big lake over there. It's as big as the sea. It doesn't look dangerous. Lao Yang was waiting at the other end of the cave entrance and didn't follow him.
, By the way, Lao Yang said, you have to prepare the rubber boat."
Big lake? After everyone heard what Hou San said, they couldn't help but look at each other. It's so weird under the ground. There is actually a big lake, as big as the sea?
But no matter how evil you are, you have to face it. Ning Xiaofan didn't say much and immediately called for everyone to bring their equipment and get into the water.
Although half of the cave entrance was exposed, the blasted hole was about ten meters deep from the bottom of the rock wall. Everyone had to swim a short distance. After entering the cave, the water was as deep as their necks.
Everyone entered the cave one after another. The length of the cave was only more than five meters, and they quickly reached the other end of the cave entrance one by one.
Yang Hai was staying at the entrance of the cave at the other end, his body soaked in the water, with only his head above the neck exposed. Through the entrance of the cave, it was so dark outside that it was difficult to see the true appearance of the so-called big lake.
Ning Xiaofan was about to take a step out of the cave, but was pulled back by Yang Hai: "Be careful, don't step in the air, the water is deep."
Ning Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then realized that this passage was not at the bottom of the rock wall. Since there was a large lake outside, there was naturally no place to stay. If he stepped out, he would have to step into deep water.
Of course, Ning Xiaofan was very good at water and would not drown even if he stepped into the air. However, there was no need to swim in that deep water.
The waterproof flashlight in my hand shot a circle outside the cave. Under the light of the flashlight, outside the cave was a vast expanse of water, sparkling and vast. At the end of the light beam, I couldn't see the edge, and I didn't know.
