"Sniff"

Chen Ergou's nose sniffed around in this cave, as if he had found something. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Anthony and the audience were still immersed in this rare beauty, "Chen, this is a hot spring, and the water temperature is not low. I never knew that there were hot springs in Congo. ”

"It's no surprise that Congo has a volcano. Chen Ergou replied to him casually, his fingers stroking on the rocks on the walls that reflected the light, "Most of these crystals that reflect the light are crystals, and there are a large number of shales in the caves, which used to be lava condensed after volcanic eruptions, green leaf rock, garnet, dolomite and so on. ”

"This is a volcano, and there will be diamonds, right?" Anthony turned his head in an instant, looking expectant.

Chen Ergou said noncommittally: "Maybe there is." Diamonds are formed under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions in the depths of the earth, mainly in peridot rocks. Diamonds, on the other hand, are carried to the surface or shallow parts of the earth by volcanic activity in rocks. ”

"But if you don't have a volcanic eruption, there will always be diamonds. ”

"Especially if you are exposed to such an obvious environment and are not discovered by the miners, it is too much to underestimate these colonial miners in the past. ”

Anthony wasn't disappointed either, he just asked casually.

Chen Ergou looked at the rock wall, suddenly took out his own flint and steel, scraped a few times with a knife and rubbed a large number of sparks on the rock wall.

"Rub rub~~" has no response several times in a row.

Anthony asked curiously, "Chen, what are you doing with the fire?"

Chen Ergou ignored it, continued to hit Mars, and changed several places in a row, but there was a sudden "bang" on the wall, and the entire rock wall was ignited with a dazzling light like a fire dragon, caused by the firelight, and the surrounding rubble splashed.

"Ah~!" Anthony and the audience in the live broadcast room were taken aback, and even Chen Ergou instinctively closed his eyes to block the strong light.

The entire combustion process lasted for several seconds before it finally went out. Then came the intense darkness that followed the bright light, and it took a long time for the eyes to readjust to the current glow of the searchlight.

"What's going on?" Anthony was stunned.

"It's some magnesium-containing minerals that meet an open flame to burn. Like fireworks, glitter, magnesium salts, aspirators, flares, etc., all need to be made of magnesium and are easy to burn. ”

Anthony was speechless, "I know this, it's just...... Chen, can you let me know next time? We're still in the mine after all. ”

Chen Ergou smiled, picked up a few crystal stones hanging on the ground, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll notify you in advance next time." ”

Anthony also leaned over to observe a few pieces of ore and asked, "It's so beautiful, what kind of ore is this?"

Chen Ergou simply threw it to him casually and asked him to see enough, "Maybe it's some kind of ore with metal components, which is not rare." But this one...... "He picked up another stone with a smooth surface like pebbles, surrounded by a milky white center with a faint blue glow, very beautiful.

The audience in the live broadcast room was lively, especially those female viewers-

"Wow, did you pick up the gem again?"

"It doesn't look like a diamond, otherwise the dog wouldn't have thrown it to others. ”

"If you want to look at the diamonds, in fact, there are a few big guys in the dog's backpack, all of which are priceless. ”

"What kind of stone is this, it's really beautiful, I want it. ”

In the shot, the light converges in the center of the oval stone, reflecting a soft halo as if it will glow, which is beautiful.

Chen Ergou gave the answer, "This seems to be a piece of blue moonstone of albite." ”

"What is a blue moonstone?" Anthony picked up one as well, asking, "There seem to be a few more on the ground." ”

Chen Ergou explained: "Blue moonstone is a type of moonstone. The surface of moonstone is a bit like fog glass, delicate, soft, and very transmittal. ”

He pointed the flashlight at the stone in the palm of his hand and irradiated it, almost illuminating it, "because the light reflection in the internal structure of this stone causes the albite in the interlayer to emit various colors of light, some mysterious and romantic luster, like moonlight full of aura." ”

"The price of moonstone is not comparable to other gemstones and can be left as a souvenir. The best moonstone is generally translucent, with blue light that resembles waves drifting. The worse ones are semi-cloudy, or simply have only halos and no blue light. …… It's like this piece in your hand. ”

"......" Anthony smiled helplessly, "That shouldn't be worth much, can I keep a piece as a souvenir?"

Chen Ergou glanced at him unexpectedly, "Ask me what to do, even if it's a diamond, I won't ask you for it in your hand." Moonstone is a good souvenir, at least to prove that you've been in the mine. ”

"No, no, I wouldn't have taken it if it was a diamond. I don't want diamonds, it's not mine, it's yours. Without you leading the way, I wouldn't even dare to come in. ”

Chen Ergou smiled and was noncommittal, "Let's explore further." ”

After walking a short distance, I saw a deep underground mine. If it weren't for the dog's light being strong enough, it would fall directly if you were not careful.

When the probe looked down, it was dark and bottomless, which should have been a natural cave, but there were also some irregular excavation marks on the cave wall. I think someone found it and used it.

Otherwise, in that era when mining technology is not advanced, if you want to excavate such a large mine, how much manpower and material resources will have to be used!

"There's no road ahead, are we going back?" said Anthony.

Chen Ergou said, "Do you have a glow stick in your backpack?"

"I'll see...... There are two more. ”

"Throw one down in free fall, and I measure the altitude. ”

Anthony did as he was told, and a red glow stick began to glow after a few twists, and he let it fall freely. Chen Ergou looked at the watch and started the timer, "1, 2, 3...... It fell to the bottom for about 3 seconds, which is about ...... according to the formula for free fall displacement time. 45m。 ”

"45m, that's too high, let's go back. Before Chen Ergou could speak, Anthony began to weaken his legs and retreated.

Chen Ergou ignored it, he has always been a doer.

He directly took out the bundle of nylon mountaineering rope from Old Baker and said, "This bundle of rope is a hundred meters long, we can go down completely." If you don't dare, just wait here to answer me. ”

Anthony was a little confused, and told him to wait on it alone, which seemed even more terrifying, "I...... But how do you get up when you go down? ”

Chen Ergou smiled and said, "There will always be a way." If you're scared, you'd better wait on it. Be bold, it's safe here, I'll be up soon. ”

Anthony was entangled: "I'd better go down with you." ”

Chen Ergou looked at him in surprise, "You mean really?"

Anthony hesitated for a moment, but nodded solemnly, "I have to go down with you, or Jenny will blame me to death." ”

Chen Ergou was speechless, it turned out to be to pick up girls. That Jenny wasn't his cup of tea.

He began to act, "Anthony, since you are also going down, prepare seriously. Take out your rope and follow me, and do what I do. ”

Anthony hurriedly copied.

At the same time, Chen Ergou did not forget to face the camera and explain if he used a rope to descend, and said: "Friends, I am going to use the rope to descend to the bottom of the mine to check it out." ”

"This method of cliff rappelling originated in Switzerland, and was first used for high-altitude self-rescue, transportation and military raids, and later evolved into extreme amusement projects such as bungee jumping, rock climbing, and racing cars. ”

"Tourists who visit some scenic spots may also experience the downhill of the pulley with a height difference. Very exciting, challenging the innate sense of fear in the midst of danger, and many people enjoy this experience. But I'm not here to experience the thrill right now. As you can see, the cliffs are almost vertical, and even with ropes, a little special approach is required. I'm going to do the abseiling!"

He began to spread out the ropes that were tied together, not that they were intertwined, and then tied a section to several raised stone pillars, teaching the audience how to tie the knot, "If you just go down and need to recycle the rope, it is better to tie a kamikaze knot, which is conducive to recycling...... I'm more of a climber to think about right now, so I have to have a solid baro. ”

The preparations were quickly set up and the descent began.

Anthony's legs and waist were tied very strongly, and Chen Ergou instructed him to stand on the top of the cliff in reverse, and as soon as he stood up, his legs and stomach trembled.

Chen Ergou stood on the edge of the cliff, pulled his rope with both hands and said, "Remember Anthony." Downhill doesn't require strict technical skills, but once you start descending, you can't back down, you have to overcome fears and obstacles and stay the course. From self-motivation and self-control to self-transcendence and ultimately to success. ”

"Note that your right hand must be at the back of your right waist, with your legs spread apart and the rope between your legs. Hold your rope tightly to keep your body in place, use your right hand to slowly relax the rope, it will descend at a uniform speed under gravity, and I will help you. ”

"Okay, okay...... Anthony shouted, "please." ”

At this time, the millions of viewers who were still watching the live broadcast were in a cold sweat for them.

I used to look down on this American, but now I admire it a little. At least in this case, there is definitely a large group of people who dare not move.

"I'm going to put the rope down. ”

Chen Ergou began to let go of the rope, Anthony's buttocks sank uncontrollably, but his feet did not move, and he suddenly laughed: "You can move your feet buddy, just go down the stairs like going down the stairs." ”

After a few lessons, the guy finally began to move to the next step. When they reached about the same distance, Chen Ergou also moved, turned over and stood on the edge of the cliff. Kick your feet against the wall and start to slowly lower the rope with the help of your kick. The movements were light and free, and after a few strides down, he had already caught up with Anthony, who had been descending for half a day.

"Are you okay?"

He greeted the American, who was hanging upside down and grinding down carefully.

Anthony glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "It's not good, my thigh is rubbed and hurts." The hands are also a little soft. ”

"Don't be nervous, I'm by your side, take it easy and start putting the rope...... Yes, that's it, keep the tempo down. ”

After a few teachings, Chen Ergou took him to slowly descend to the bottom.

During this period, no matter how slow and procrastinating the other party was, he always patiently relieved the pressure for him and encouraged him.

It took more than five minutes for the two to converge at the bottom, Chen Ergou untied the rope and said with a smile: "Friends, in "Crazy Stone", the thief Mike used very professional means to hang down from the beam of the house to steal jadeite, but because the rope of the profiteer was not long enough, it hung in the air and could not reach it...... I'm glad the rope is long enough. ”

"23333, I'll take your lungs. ”

"Handsome, come on, dog. ”

"Look what's down there, and there's going to be diamonds everywhere. ”

……

"Anthony, can you still go?"

"Yes, thank you. After going through it, his face began to show an expression of excitement, "It's the first time I've had this kind of experience, my heart was beating out at first, but I didn't expect that feeling of accomplishment would arise spontaneously after landing." ”

Chen Ergou smiled: "Okay, don't delay time." Let's explore the secrets beneath the mine. ”

The flashlight and the dog's searchlight beckoned around, and they immediately noticed something unusual.

There is also a huge steel and wood shelf underneath, as well as traces of pulleys and ropes. Obviously, this is how the miners used the railroad tracks to transport the ore in the first place. Because of the special environment under the mine, after more than 100 years, there are still many dry bones that have not been weathered and decayed.

"Look, there seem to be traces of battle here!" Chen Ergou pointed the camera at a skeleton in the corner that was crushed under him by a metal track.

Because the scene is so terrifying, the dog has carried out automatic mosaic.

After careful inspection, I found that there were many traces of battle around the area, including explosives bags, firearms, wooden sticks and mine hoes and other weapons smashed into the battle. Some of these dry bones are still fiercely entangled with each other, and it seems that at the last moment in front of them, they are still fighting to the death against the enemy.

Anthony was surprised: "Could it be that there is a war between the miners and the administrators here?"

"It can't be said that war, maybe it is a desperate resistance that has been pushed to the limit. ”

The audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene and was a lot quieter. This is not a Hollywood movie prop, but a real battle relic. Even if it spans a hundred years, you can still recognize the resistance and fight under the despair.

The walls were dappled with water, damp and rotten, as if witnessing the bloodshed of the beginning.

"Chen, look, there's a dynamite bag here. ”

Sure enough, it was a bag of explosives, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them. Chen Ergou touched it a few times and found that the lead had rotted. At the slightest touch, the packaging of the explosives pack had rotted and the gunpowder was scattered to the ground. "It's useless. The miner slaves seemed to have failed, but they also dealt a heavy blow to the rulers. So the guards above found that the situation was out of control, so they blew up the passage up and trapped the miners below?"

"And then they slaughtered all the miners and retreated?"

“…… Who knows. ”

Chen Ergou feels like a treasure thief who inadvertently stumbles into a centuries-old war between slave laborers and mining colonists.

What you see in front of you makes people's hearts heavy, and at the same time, they clearly feel the weight of history.

He asked the dogs to carefully film all this, and the post-program production will be very good material.

Anthony suddenly shouted, "Chen, there is still an abandoned mine here!"

Chen Ergou had already seen it, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

The mine is very long, and in some places you can only climb down, in others it is steep and downhill, and the ground is laid with railroad tracks but is no longer usable. Judging from the excavation trajectory of the mine, there seems to be no discipline. It's really lucky that it hasn't collapsed even after digging like this.

After turning a few corners, the space suddenly opens up.

When the audience saw this scene, they unconsciously let out a sigh!

Who would have thought that under the ground, there would be an open space the size of half a football field, and there were even cobweb-like caves around it.

Beneath the floor of the space was still a stretch of railroad tracks, with a few rusty manual minecarts at random.

Under the light of the searchlight, rotting bones can still be seen everywhere.

"The air in these underground spaces is very unsmooth, and there is a musty smell of staleness. Maybe there are some kind of germs hidden in such air. But back then, the miners worked in such an environment, eating, drinking, and lazing all below. ”

The deeper you explore, the more traces of the life of the miners and slaves will be discovered.

"Friends, we can boldly guess: in the depths of the mine, the traces of the miners' lives here are getting heavier and heavier, does it mean that this place has been occupied by the miners, and the supervisors who urge the mining will not go down to such a deep mine to supervise. Therefore, the miners gradually have their own space for activities, and only then can they resist when they communicate. ”

"In the beginning, it must have been a wonderful one—how the miners went from insensitivity to rebellion, how they organized their rebellion, how they died after defeat, and so on. It's a pity that now the dust has returned to the dust, and it can only be guessed by me at will, and I can't even corroborate it. ”

Chen Ergou shook his head and said, "Of course, even if I find this dusty history for many years, it is actually useless. Even today, Congo still has armed forces that control the mines, hiring miners for $3 a day. At best, all I can do is bring the insights of the elderly. ”

It's already the middle of the night in China, and there are still nearly 8 million people watching the collective immortal cultivation audience.

The audience can see such an underground pit, and there is such an unexpected story behind it, which is actually very satisfying.

No one will blame anything, and fans have brushed up a wave of bamboo, gifts, and barrages to express their gratitude to the anchor.

"Thank you all for the gift. ”

Receiving a gift can increase popularity, and he doesn't resist routine gifts now. But he was still quite disappointed in his heart, there was no doubt that this was an abandoned diamond mine, and maybe a professional company would come and dig up diamonds.

But his destination was for the parchment scroll, and the map drawn on the parchment scroll would obviously not be here.

"Chen, come and see this puddle of water. ”

"What's wrong?"

In the corner there was a pool of water that had become almost red, and on the surface it looked like it had a layer of foam.

"It's probably something very old, maybe an ancient waterhole hundreds of millions of years ago," Anthony said. ”

Chen Ergou didn't know much about these, "Are you sure? This color is obviously mixed with a lot of trace metals. ”

"I can't say for sure, but I'd like to put on a little and go back and look into it. Because someone once found an ancient water source 1 billion years ago in the depths of the mine, it can be determined by comparing the elements such as helium, neon, and xenon in the water by detecting chemical elements. These ancient sources of water can raise the evidence for the origin of life on Earth. ”

Chen Ergou was not interested in this: "Whatever you want, as long as you don't drink it." ”

He began to spin around, wondering if he could pick up a diamond, of course. It's a pity that his good fortune seems to be exhausted, let alone diamonds, not even a crystal can be seen.

Could it be that after the rebellion, someone came down to sweep the goods?

Grabbed a stone and threw it forward in frustration.

There was a muffled sound, and the wall of the cave was directly smashed into a big hole. The searchlight shone through, and you could still see a little light refracted from the cave.

"Huh?" Chen Ergou said with a smile as if he had discovered a new continent: "Friends, I seem to have found something amazing. ”

"666, have you found another treasure?"

"Master Dog, don't share the spoils with others. ”

"What is it?"

"Awesome, my brother!"
