Li Dongwen pretended to come to the entrance of the cave and felt it.

"This is cold air. Let the hole be enlarged a little more and observe. Li Dongwen instructed Li Qinghai to continue to work.

"Workers, wear thick clothes, don't catch a cold. ”

The foreman is a little blind, where are the thick clothes in this summer.

After looking for a long time, I found a few sets of long-sleeved overalls. A few brave workers, changing into long-sleeved clothes, picked up the digging drill bit, and began to expand the hole.

Others took shovels and pickaxes to help transport the earth and rocks out, and soon unfolded the work surface more than ten meters wide.

The entrance to the cave was expanded to a width of seven or eight meters, and when the mountain walls reached on both sides, it could not be widened any further. There was still black and white smoke coming out of it, and it was not clear how deep and big the hole was.

The foreman found a few flashlights and shone them into the hole, feeling that there was a lot of space inside, as if several holes were connected, and there was no end to it.

The flashlight shines downward, but it is not deep, it looks like it is one meter deep, and it is the end, and the white gas seems to rise from the ground, a bit like a stage stunt.

Li Dongwen also stood on the edge of the cave entrance, shook a flashlight, and then instructed the foreman:

"Dig the outside of this hole and dig another meter downward, level with the inside. Don't go into the cave today, but tomorrow bring your expedition equipment and tools, and go in again. ”

The speed at which the gossip spreads is unusually fast.

The first to come to see the excitement were the reporters in Wanzhou, armed with long guns and short guns, shooting non-stop.

Wanzhou TV even invited geological experts to broadcast on the spot.

"Dear viewers and friends, we are now doing a live broadcast for you in Niujiaoling, Liji Town, Wanzhou. The white smoke hole you see, at the foot of Niujiaoling, was discovered by a construction team while digging a warehouse today......"

"We invited experts from Wanzhou Geology and Mining Bureau, Professor Yang Fuxian, to decrypt the scene for everyone. ”

The beautiful reporter of the TV station is in the vernacular.

"It's probably a naturally occurring underground ice cave wonder. The temperature inside the cave is low, the temperature outside the cave is high, the hot air goes in, the cold air comes out, and the cold and hot alternately form white smoke. "Expert Yang seems to understand very well.

"Are ice caves like this common?"

"It can't be said that it is very common, but it is not nonetheless. Many karst caves have been found in Gui Province, and the temperature in the caves is very low, and some are even frozen. ”

"Can people go in, and will there be danger in the ice cave?"

"There is a danger, mainly because the air is not circulating, and it is better to wait for the air to circulate before entering. Some caves have high levels of carbon dioxide and insufficient oxygen, which can easily cause suffocation. ”

"Is there any use for an ice cave?"

"If it's big enough, it can be regarded as a special tourist attraction in Wanzhou. In Gui and Guizhou provinces, there are many karst caves, which have been developed into tourist attractions. ”

A cordon was re-erected around the ice cave, this time by the police.

That night, Li Qinghai arranged for a group of people to be on duty here.

The next morning, Zhang Chunlai also rushed over, and brought ten people, fully armed expedition equipment, and even gas masks.

When Li Dongwen came to the scene, he was running into another group of explorers, negotiating with Zhang Chunlai and Li Haiqing.

This group of people is a temporary expedition team formed by the state, which is much more professional than Zhang Chunlai's grass platform team, and the equipment is much more advanced, with hernia searchlights, infrared detectors, protective clothing, gloves, hiking boots, infrared cameras, and complete sets of ropes.

The main point of contention between the two groups is which side has the right to go on an expedition.

Zhang Chun said: "The land was bought by our company, and the ice cave was also discovered by us, why don't you let it in?!"

The people in the state said: "The land is state, it is only leased to you, not including underground mineral resources, and it is not clear what dangers there are, and you are not professional, so let us do it professionally." ”

Zhang Chun said: "The land you are stepping on now belongs to our company, and without our permission, you are trespassing on people's houses! I want to call the police!"

The people in the state said, "The police are here, you ask, do you want to let you in, or let us in!"

The police here are just the police of Liji Town, and they can't be the masters, just next to them and the mud, mainly to prevent both sides from doing it.

When the two sides were arguing, Li Dongwen spoke:

"I can let you go in first. However, we will send two men with us to prevent you from wreaking havoc. ”

What is the reason for preventing us from sabotage?

The state teams were allowed to enter, and concessions were made. Those of you who go in must obey our commands, and you must not run around, and we will not be responsible for any danger.

Zhang Chun came here and quickly determined two candidates, Zhang Chun volunteered to count one, and the other was the leader of the civilian expedition team he found.

The two men received a short disciplinary training and followed the state team inside.

Less than an hour after the expedition team entered, they ran out, and when they came out, they were shivering from the cold.

Zhang Chunlai's lips were blue from the cold, and he came out and hurriedly reported to Li Dongwen:

"It's very big inside, several holes are connected, and I haven't explored it yet, it's just too cold, and I'm going to wear a padded jacket next time I go in." ”

The expedition team in the state was obviously also poorly prepared, and the tools and equipment they brought only thought about protecting themselves from various dangers, but neglected to keep warm.

Li Dongwen knew the situation inside, so he said: "It's hard work, you take a rest first." ”

The expedition team in the state was obviously not reconciled, mobilized a batch of warm clothing, and entered the ice cave again. This time, two reporters from the TV station also followed.

More than two hours later, the entire expedition came out.

The reporter of the television station could not help but sigh with emotion: It is simply a miracle of nature! It is incredible!

The expedition team left, leaving behind a word, there was no danger inside, it was too cold. The local minimum temperature measured reached minus 15 degrees, and it was generally around minus 10 degrees.

After the expedition team left, Li Dongwen also left.

After Li Dongwen left, Zhang Chunlai reorganized a team and went in to explore.

That evening, Zhang Chunlai and Li Qinghai came to report again.

"This ice cave is huge, there are seven or eight caves in it, all of which are interconnected and developed into a tourist attraction, which is enough. Zhang Chunlai suggested.

Li Dongwen immediately vetoed: "What kind of scenic spots should be developed? It is just right to make cold storage, and the cost of air conditioning is saved." You guys study how to build a cold storage as soon as possible, it's been delayed for two days. ”

Since the boss has decided so, let's execute it, and the two of them retired with interest.

However, there are people who are not interested.

The next morning, Zhou Daoping reported to Li Dongwen: The Wanzhou government has called, and the governor has asked you to come over to discuss the development of the ice cave.

What kind of moth is this?
