I was still thinking, and others started to get busy. Several flashlights were gathered together, and they were shined at the entrance behind the door. Immediately, several iron ropes as thick as arms came into view, and two vague
The huge thing suddenly looked at me and I couldn’t tell what it was. Zhang Houhou took the lead to approach the entrance, then turned around and said to us that these two things seemed to be winches. However, this guy was also very smart and stopped moving when he stood in front of the entrance.
, and asked the two guys to go in first.
The two guys carefully walked a few steps inside, looked around the situation, and then gave us a safety sign. After everyone entered, one of the guys pointed to the ground for us to see.
There is a large copper plate in the shape of a cymbal, which is turned upside down on the ground. It is oval in shape, with two bowl-sized holes on it, and a long and thick iron rope is threaded through each hole. Zhang Houhou lies on the copper plate and faces forward.
He looked through the hole in the iron rope, but it was completely dark. He lit a cigarette and threw it down the small hole. The shiny cigarette butt fell rapidly and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The things in front of me are easily reminiscent of lever gear sets. I turned on my flashlight and looked along an iron cable connected to the winch. The iron cable extended diagonally toward the top of the entrance. Almost as soon as I turned my head, I realized that it had disappeared.
The door has actually been suspended by iron ropes, hanging high above our heads.
I immediately confirmed my idea. These things in the entrance are obviously used to open the door. As long as we grasp the key, we can make the winch cable and some parts we have not yet discovered run. As for activating these parts
The power is most likely related to the hydraulic power of the underground river.
Facts speak louder than words. No matter what I think, there is no doubt that Zhang Houhou and the others have tried countless ways to open the door since they were blocked by the door. And I pressed my hand on the palm print on the door.
The winch rope was quickly activated and the heavy door was lifted.
What's the point?
"Boss Wei, would you like to move this copper plate and take a look? The space below is very deep. I wonder if there is anything there."
"Forget it." I waved my hand: "This is obviously connected to the bottom of the abyss and uses water power to turn the winch."
"I think so too, but I always feel uncomfortable if I don't take a look. Just wait a moment, it will be over soon."
With that said, Zhang Hou called people over to try to move the copper plate on the ground. The entire copper plate was almost embedded in the rock, and his fingers couldn't reach in. Zhang Hou wanted to use tools, but after thinking about it, he gave up because the copper plate was so fragile.
Once it is destroyed, the iron ropes hanging the bronze door may fall off, trapping us all here.
"Don't worry about these things for now. Focus on the front. It seems that there is still a long way to go."
After entering the entrance, all my attention was attracted by things like winches. As soon as I said it, Zhang Houhou stood up reluctantly, walked to my side, shined his flashlight in front of me and said, "Boss Wei is right.
I don’t know how long the road ahead is, and the supplies we carry with us are not too much. If we keep walking, we may be a little nervous. I suggest that we send someone outside the cave entrance to get some more supplies, and try to get things done at once."
"You decide, you don't need to ask me about these things."
The road ahead is very wide. Although the ground is bumpy, it is not a problem at all for people like us. Except for the winch cable at the entrance, there are no traces of man-made traces further forward. There is a lack of maps for this kind of place.
, after entering, you can only follow the path you can take in front of you.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if the road is longer." I said to Zhang Houhou: "I'm afraid it bifurcates in the middle. Once it bifurcates, people will be confused and don't know which way to take. Lao Zhang, the clues you got are actually accurate enough.
You can find this place directly without having a map or anything like that?"
"It would be nice to have a map, there is no need to work so hard there."
I was really frightened by the experience at Yuntan Peak, not to mention that the environment here is worse than that at Yuntan Peak. If I get lost, the consequences will be very serious. I made up my mind, if I really encounter something similar to Yuntan Peak
The situation, and Zhang Houhou couldn’t come up with any reliable solution, so I could only stay out of it for the time being.
Zhang Houhou may have seen that I was worried, so he said to me softly: "Boss Wei, don't worry, if you encounter a place where the situation is unclear again, I will send someone to go first. No matter what, even if Lao Zhang, I will take these more than one hundred
I'm here to tell you everything, and I won't let you make any mistakes."
This is said very heart-to-heart, and makes people feel very comfortable. But I know that a person, or even a group of people, are insignificant in a place like this. Even if they bring the most advanced equipment and the most sophisticated weapons, they will still be insignificant.
It just slightly increases the hope of survival when you encounter trouble. Once a real accident occurs, no one can change anything.
"Let's set off now. Boss Wei, you walk in the middle, and I'll send my brothers to open the way in front..."
Before Zhang Houhou finished speaking, there was a sound of iron ropes colliding with each other behind him. He turned around and scolded: "Whose hand is itchy again? Stop touching those things."
"No one is moving." Several of the guys who were smoking looked confused.
"The winch has moved!" Mustache, who had been silent next to him, suddenly said.
The iron cable in the copper plate on the ground was like a bicycle chain, rising and falling. A familiar sound came from under the copper plate, which was exactly the same as the sound we heard outside the copper door a few hours ago, but this time
But now I can hear it more clearly and truly.
Everyone immediately realized what the unexplained rotation of the winch meant. A few people reacted quickly and wanted to run towards the entrance. But no one dared to be the first to pass through the gate. There were tons of doors hanging overhead.
Once the plan falls, it will happen in an instant. No matter how fast you are, you will not be able to avoid it.
The iron cables rose and fell faster and faster, colliding with the copper plates, making a heart-stopping sound. Everyone knew that although the combination of these winches and iron cables was simple, once it started running, it was impossible to stop it.
Boom!
Just when I was at a loss, the high-hanging door fell heavily, completely sealing the entrance. Then, the two huge winches and iron cables slowly stopped running, and the surroundings fell into deathly silence.
Zhang Hou turned his head and looked at me in despair, and the cigarette in his mouth clattered to the ground. Several people rushed to the door like crazy, and some even tried to pull the iron rope. But the door had completely fallen to the ground, as we had seen before
The scene is the same, it is so perfect that unless it turns into air, it will never be possible to get through.
"What happened? No one touched it, so why did it fall down on its own!" Zhang Houhou came to his senses and swung his hands back and forth anxiously: "Look, can you explode it with explosives?"
.”
Zhang Houhou and the others once thought about using explosives to blast the door and bring in a more professional blasting crew. However, due to too many worries, the plan was shelved step by step until it was abandoned. However, the guy stayed in the team. Hearing that Zhang Houhou
After receiving the instruction, he ran to the door to read it. After all, he was a relatively professional person who looked at it very carefully and meticulously. After reading it, he ran back to report and talked a lot. From his words, we could tell that he was a good person.
News and a bad news.
The good news is that through careful observation, the guy found that the rock wall near the door seemed not as thick as we thought. Theoretically speaking, we can completely ignore the thick door and drill and blast holes in the rock wall next to it. Not only does it use less medicine, but it also
And it is easy to control the blasting range.
However, this inference is limited to theory, because no one knows the load-bearing capacity of the only passage outside the door. If a section of the passage is blown down at once, our escape route will be completely blocked.
Bad news, he didn't bring any explosives.
"Damn it! If you don't take your own food with you when you go out, I'll crush you bastard to death!" Zhang Houhou kicked him as soon as he raised his foot. The man rolled on the ground and hid while defending himself.
This is really a terrible door. At first we were blocked from the outside and couldn't get in. Now we got in and were blocked inside and couldn't get out. Except for the people in front of us, the rest of the guys were all guarding the outside of the cave. They didn't know.
Even if the situation is not good, it will be at least a few days before he comes in to check. Besides, those people who come in may not be able to open the door again.
After Zhang Hou kicked his feet a few times, he lost interest. He gathered all the backpacks together to check the supplies. If the stuck quantities were evenly distributed, the supplies could last for four or five days. He thought for a while and then came to ask for instructions: "Boss Wei,
All the supplies are here. I will distribute them by head in person later. Things have reached this point, and beating that bastard to death will not help. Now the door is blocked, and I can't get out for the time being. There are still many guys outside the cave.
If we don't go out for a few days, they will definitely come in to look for us. We might as well take this opportunity to explore the road first."
This door is not meant to be opened by opening it, so I have been wondering if there is any other exit here. Whether you are looking for something or another exit, you have to keep moving forward. Zhang Houhou's suggestion has to be adopted.
"Old Zhang!" Ma Dad shook his fist at Zhang Hou: "If I and Master Wei are trapped here this time and can't get out, I will hold you back before I die!"
"Brother Ma, why do you have to do this? I have always respected you."
"Don't get too close to me." Ma Dad pulled me aside, stuffed three pieces of chocolate over him, and said, "I took it secretly and packed it up. If I'm sleepy for a long time and the supplies run out, I can still survive for a day or two."
.”
"Ma Dad, I really don't know what to say." I sighed and said apologetically: "I've always wanted to keep you out of it..."
"Needless to say." Ma Dad interrupted me, raised his eyes and glanced at the people around him, and said bitterly: "I know that you have a conscience, which is different from these bastards. But I am worried about letting you come here alone.
What's so scary about what happened now is that the two of us will break up in one fell swoop."
