Chapter 187: The Tunnel For Yaoyao’s National Birthday
Anyway, the feeling in my heart is rather strange. The mine has been mined for a long time and the sunken ship is safe. This can only mean that the sunken ship was sunk into the water after the mine was mined or even abandoned. So what about this mine?
The history is so long that it cannot be traced back. In my impression, neither ancient China nor even ancient Korea could have such advanced mining technology and scale.
In other words, this place, like the mysterious ancient city of Shiyanchuan, is probably not part of our modern human world.
We observed for a while, and the light power of the light sources in our hands could not cover the entire mine. When we saw the mining traces like big pits, I suddenly wondered if we had made a mistake in judgment. Could this place be like the Xihai River?
"Probably not. The depth difference is too big. Judging from the scale of mining, it's not that the miners are incapable of digging deeper, they just don't think it's necessary. They just want the ore." Zhao Yingjun pointed at the light in his hand.
He shook his head at a relatively close place and said, "Look, there is a very wide passageway connecting up and down there. The mined ore may have been transported out of this passageway."
The area of the mine is very large. Judging from the current situation, the previous team may have surveyed this place. In an instant, the notebook left by the team and the characters that the fox drew before dying, which symbolize death, were all
It struck my mind. The silent mine has probably been abandoned for several years, but this does not mean that everything is truly quiet.
We have been observing here for a long time. Anyway, we will go down sooner or later. There is no point in delaying. Zhao Yingjun tidied his things and took the lead to walk towards the mine along the path that can be taken. A normal mine, if there are no other external reasons.
Being abandoned can only mean that all the ores have been mined. So as we walked along, we still couldn't tell what kind of mine this was. I took out the notebook again and opened the second picture. There was nothing on the real ground.
There is no scale on the map to divide the areas. We can only estimate the approximate area of the mine, and then roughly break down the general scope of the twenty-eight areas. This is very important, because some areas are marked with extremely dangerous warnings.
Don't be careful.
We slowly walked along the area where the mine was open-pit mined. When we reached the most depressed area, we estimated that this was the center. We roughly calculated the distance between north, south, and east, but Zhao Yingjun said that this was probably not the second
The area actually drawn in the picture. Because the walking was so smooth and there were no abnormalities or dangers, this was inconsistent with the records in the notebook.
Then, we changed the direction and started walking. I think the people who mined here at that time must have been very efficient. The mine was completely abandoned. Almost everything that could be taken away was taken away, leaving nothing behind.
A little bit later. After adjusting the direction and walking about 150 meters, three vague holes appeared within the light range.
These holes are smaller than the tunnels used by trains to pass through mountains. Anyone who has really been exposed to mines, especially those who are familiar with coal mines, can tell at a glance that they are the entrances to the mine tunnels.[
"I understand now. This is probably where the area actually marked in the second picture is located." I suddenly realized that the entrances of the three tunnels were relatively far apart, and the light seemed to be able to shine in, but it looked awkward no matter what.
Walking inside, I could feel a very unusual smell. My eyelids started to twitch. It is said that mines are also places where strange things happen.
"Here, let's test it." Zhao Yingjun took the notebook, pointed to the second picture and said: "See, I probably guessed it right. The order of the divided areas on the second picture is that there are three areas side by side.
There are nine rows in total. At the top of the three rows, there is a separate area with exactly twenty-eight blocks. Now there is reason to believe that what this picture marks is the floor plan deep in the mine."
"Then which way should we take first?"
"Let's take the middle one." Zhao Yingjun picked his nose and said, "On the whole, the middle one is relatively less dangerous. Let's take less risks and get used to the environment first."
Starting from the entrance of the tunnel, there is a thick layer of sand-like powder on the ground. Because of the proximity to the water, the air is still damp, and the surface of the powder has a layer of hard crust, which leaves a footprint whenever you step on it.
It feels like walking on a beach that has been soaked by rain and exposed to the sun. After entering the entrance of the tunnel, the space is wider, and as you go forward, the terrain is not so flat. It is estimated that the distribution of ore here is not too uniform, and the ore is
Mining away physically changes the topography of the mine, so it doesn't look as neatly divided as on the plan, with pits and pits, as if dug out by dog's teeth.
Slowly walking forward again, the space on the left and right became wider, and some places even led directly to the tunnel next to it. The partition between the two tunnels that were far apart was covered with strange holes. In the middle
There are a total of nine areas in that row. The area we are walking in now has been signaled to be safe, but we don’t know the specific scope of this area. The depth of the mine is beyond imagination. After walking for about 150 or 60 meters, there is still a gap in front of us.
A dark patch.
Stab la la...
A burst of harsh sound startled us, and then I realized that it was the noise coming from the walkie-talkie. The walkie-talkie was turned off, but it was constantly transmitting signals. The piercing noise indicated that something was interfering with the walkie-talkie.
signal. This is not a particularly rare situation, but at this moment, it seems disturbing.
Immediately afterwards, the situation became even weirder. The walkie-talkies on Zhao Yingjun and I had been very quiet, but as the tingling noise appeared, a sound similar to electricity mixed with other strange sounds, slowly forming a sound like
It is the human voice that has been changed by a voice changer. It is very dull and blurry.
What's even worse is that the walkie-talkies on the two of us are making strange noises intermittently. My walkie-talkie rings once, then pauses for a second or two, and Zhao Yingjun's walkie-talkie also rings, as if there are two invisible people.
dialogue.
"It's so damn annoying." Perhaps Zhao Yingjun was afraid that I would be too panicked, so he took off the walkie-talkie and said to me: "There will be interference in many places, and it will be very noisy."
As he said that, he took off the battery of the walkie-talkie. I was also flustered by the sound, so I quickly followed him and took off the battery. The surrounding area became quiet instantly.
"I think we have reached the second area." Zhao Yingjun whispered: "If I remember correctly, the second area is marked with danger."
"If the signal is interfered with for some reason, the risk is bearable."
As we were talking, a bright light suddenly flashed several times above our heads. The scene was like a few flashes of lightning suddenly lighting up on a dark night, and the surrounding environment flickered. In the flash of light,
There was a crackling sound, and then a ball of shining sparks burst out from above the head.[
"Come here!" Zhao Yingjun quickly pulled me and almost crawled to the far right side of the mine. He squatted down in a very rugged nook, and Duoji disappeared into the darkness. I looked nervously at the top of my head, not knowing.
What is shining brightly?
This situation of light and dark lasted for almost a minute, and we didn't see anything. Just as I hesitated, the flashing light suddenly became completely bright. Starting from the position we had passed behind us, a light flashed above our heads.
Groups of bright lights lit up rhythmically and spread to the depths of the tunnel. They were like lamps above the head. The light was very strong. Although the tunnel was relatively large, the two rows of lights completely dispersed the darkness.
, except for some blind spots that cannot be illuminated by light, the rest of the place is as bright as day.
"What's going on!" I was shocked.
"Is this the lighting facility designed before the abandoned mine?" Zhao Yingjun looked up, but the light was too strong and he couldn't see clearly what the specific light source was. However, he could tell at a glance that this kind of light should be similar to a light bulb.
Emitted by the lighting equipment.
"Even if there is a lighting facility, why does it suddenly light up! Don't tell me it is timed or voice-activated!" I was still panicked. In the previous team's records, this section was not mentioned at all, which shows that they may
Never encountered this situation.
"Why do you have to tell the truth?" Zhao Yingjun looked at me and was teasing me, but he was extremely alert. I believe that in such a lighting environment, any trouble would not be hidden from him.
We just nested in this nook and stared around for at least five minutes. The only sound left in the tunnel was our own breathing. It’s not that I’m scaring myself. Let’s put aside the lighting equipment first. Any equipment
If there is no external triggering opportunity, will it run by itself? The lighting equipment is relatively simple. As long as the lighting system is normal and driven by energy, it can light up, but it will never light up by itself.
After staying for five minutes, Zhao Yingjun slowly stood up against the wall. At this time, he no longer needed the flashlight. He looked ahead and then at the road we walked. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly squatted down again.
Come down.
"Don't move, don't make a sound!" Zhao Yingjun pressed my shoulders, and I noticed that his eyes were wrong.
"What's going on! What's going on!" I also lowered my voice, very anxious.
"There are three of us, right? If three people walked along, how many rows of footprints would they leave?"
"Third row! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"That's right." Zhao Yingjun dragged me back again, and then asked me to peek out my head from the corner: "Look at the road we walked, is there a fourth row of footprints?"
