The gentle slope of the cave entrance is very large, and the distance extending down is even more than I imagined, and the journey is about 50 meters, and there is still no sign of ending.

Under the leadership of Wang Tie, we advanced a distance of about 130 meters before the slope stopped at our feet.

Falling to the bottom, Snow Boy took out the instrument he had brought with him and began to measure and calculate the depth of the cave.

After a while, the data showed that we were now at a depth of sixty-five meters!

Next, Wang Tie began to place safety ropes, these ropes were both him and Da Xiong, and they were all down from the ground little by little, the purpose of which was to make it more convenient for other team members to enter the cave. In addition, if there is an emergency, you can also borrow a device fixed on the safety rope to slowly lift the person to the ground.

Da Xiong is relatively strong, and I heard that he was an engineer in the army before demobilization.

Once underground, he unloaded his equipment and placed three police searchlights nearby, and the moment he turned them on.

We were all stunned.

The cave was very large, and deep inside the cave walls, something glittering appeared, and Snow Boy carefully hit it with the searchlight in his hand, and then told us that those were crystals.

The underground of Lop Nur is rich in crystal mines with high reserves, which has long been an open secret. It is only because of the difficulty of mining that government agencies have not organized large-scale mining.

At this time, the queen took the flashlight in her hand, shone it twice on the ground, and said in surprise: "Wow, what a fine crystal." ”

I heard this and looked down at the ground.

Sure enough, at the feet of the Queen, she stepped on a bunch of fine, crystalline substances.

Wang Tie turned around, reached out and picked up the pile of things, put them to his nose and smelled them, and then he actually stretched out his tongue and licked it. Then he frowned and said, "It's not a spade, it's a potash, a potash after crystallization in large grains." ”

Wang Tie told us that Lop Nur is full of treasures, and the underground is a natural treasure house.

There are crystals in more than anyone can imagine, mountains of potash on the ground, and countless jade. Every year, a large number of road trippers come to the area to 'pick up stones'.

Picking up stones is a common saying among the local people in Xinjiang, to put it bluntly, they come here to pick up gems. There are many varieties of gemstones, such as crystal, because the content is too high, it can no longer be regarded as a gemstone, and there are meteorites, jade, rubies, sapphires and countless other precious stones.

Many, many people became rich overnight because of it!

After a long time, picking up stones in the local area has formed a culture of leisure and entertainment.

People are fine, but anyone with a car will take advantage of the holidays to come here to pick up stones!

When I heard this, I seemed to understand something......

The queen excitedly pointed to the crystals on the cave wall in the distance and said, "I'll go, those crystals, how big they are." ”

Snow Boy: "Those crystals are not valuable, crystals are not necessarily valuable, the main thing is quality, fineness." Like ordinary white crystal, citrine, too much. We're looking for blonde crystals, and those crystals are worth a lot of money. ”

As soon as the words came out, Xue Gongzi realized that he had lost his mouth, and immediately stopped talking.

I smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is to go underground to find treasures." ”

Xue Gongzi grinned: "Hehe, let you see it through." ”

Wang Tie said at this time: "Yes, our trip is mainly for two tasks, one is to appreciate the strange natural landforms underground, and the other is to go to the depths of the underground to pick up stones, hehe......"

Xue Gongzi said again: "Doctor, don't worry, as long as you can ensure our safety, turn back, we can pick up any stones!" ”

Listening to these people, I can understand their real intentions in hiring me.

Explore! It's a spirit! A kind of courage that is fearless, yearning for nature.

Picking up stones is a kind of speculative behavior, and it is an act of wanting to take this opportunity to make a lot of money and earn a vote.

They know very well that the former rarely has an accident under normal circumstances, because when people are exploring, their minds are often pure and immaculate. And the latter, it's different, wealth, lust, greed! Under the influence of these kinds of psychology, it is very likely that some danger will arise.

I'm not saying here that I'm a noble personality and disdainful of money. Damn, money! Who doesn't care! The more the merrier!

I just stood in the perspective of a doctor like me and made a small analysis of the mentality of Xue Gongzi and his party.

At this time, while helping the bear fix the searchlight, I asked, "Let, those people in the upper team, do they know about picking up stones?" ”

Xue Gongzi smiled and said, "Some know, some don't." Anyway, when the time comes, this thing will be handled by itself! ”

After speaking, Xue Gongzi took the intercom and said something to the people above.

Then, a second group of people, began to go down.

The plan is to build a small camp at the bottom of the cave, in this open and flat place, and then get the generator down and turn on the lights to illuminate the cave.

Then, we move on.

For more than half an hour, except for a few who were unwell on the ground and were responsible for guarding the camp, the personnel were basically all down, and there was a lot of food and equipment.

Wang Tie ordered these people to set up camp nearby, and then we ate something, then stuffed a lot of food in our bags, and took drinking water or something, and when we were done, everyone had a pickaxe, and I, the queen, Wang Tie, Xue Gongzi, Xiaole, Da Xiong, and a few people were in the main team, and continued to move forward.

A pickaxe is a good thing.

This thing is sharp at one end and flattened at the other.

What we hold in our hands are imported professional mountain exploration picks, hard, strong resin grips, pickaxe heads are metal smelted by special technology, wear-resistant, tough, and high rigidity.

Ordinary rocks are a pit when you knock them out!

Walking inside, the cave did not show any forks, and it continued to advance for about two hundred meters.

Suddenly, the terrain suddenly became dangerous, first a steep slope of nearly 60 degrees, then a large section of downhill, and when you went down to the bottom floor, a space of thousands of square meters suddenly appeared in front of you.

There is no road here, just a big fault, below the fault......

When the bear swept over with a searchlight in his hand, everyone froze.

Crystal!

This is a piece of crystal, nearly 1,000 square meters, like a forest!

Like sharp swords, clusters of crystals arched out of the ground and plunged straight into the dome.

The queen exclaimed, "Wow, this is spectacular. ”

Wang Tie disagreed: "What is this, a small fight, there are several large crystal caves in Peru, and they are a hundred times more spectacular than this." There's this big natural crystal everywhere. There are some large quartz crystal clusters, and they are almost catching up with the hills. This is just pediatrics. ”

Da Xiong took the police searchphoto, took a picture of it, and then said to Wang Tie: "Boss, there is no way, this crystal cluster seems to be coming to an end." ”

Wang Tie lowered his head and frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Take the rope, I want to go down." ”

Where we stopped, there was a large fault below, and the angle of the fault from our feet was perpendicular, about 20 meters away.

Da Xiong untied the mountaineering rope on his back, tied an iron buckle at the end of the rope, and then he threw it down along the fault, and when he heard a ding, he took a searchlight and shone it, turned his head and said to Wang Tie: "It's the end." ”

Wang Tie gritted his teeth, grabbed the rope, and slowly went down.

Although the slope of the fault is vertical, there are many places to settle on the rock wall, so it is not very difficult to climb down.

About ten minutes later, we heard Wang Tie shouting upward.

"Oh no! Oops, I'm the next Ao! ”

We were stunned.

In the end, I understood that sentence, it was both feet on the ground. But what about 'Oops, I'm going to be in the Olympics'?

Da Xiong asked downward: "Wang Tie!" Wang Touer! Brother Wang! ”

No response.

Then, he took a searchlight and began to probe ......

I probed around, but I still didn't find anything. Such a big living person, after going down, it was as if he had traveled through all of a sudden, entered another time and space, and disappeared!

A wave of fear instantly choked the hearts of Snow Boy and Big Bear, as well as Xiaole and the Queen.

O the living! A big living person who is jumping around is just gone.

What's down here?

Even if the monster swallowed it, it should have to scream or something, but there was no movement at all, and it was just silently gone, this ...... It's also scary.

Xue Gongzi swallowed, and he glanced at the big bear.

Big Bear bowed his head shyly.

Snow boy said, "Big bear, go down!" See what's going on? ”

Big Bear gritted his teeth and handed the searchlight to Snow Boy, and then, he grabbed the rope, swished, and went down.

Let's take a searchshot.

As a result, we found that there was a rock protrusion of about two cubic meters underneath, blocking our view.

As a result, the searchlight could not reach the root of the fault.

By this time, the bear had fallen under the rock, and we waited attentively.

About a minute later.

I heard Big Bear say, "Brother, what the hell am I!" Hey, hey, hey, I'm the next O! ”

This time, it may be that the big bear is bigger, so, after the next Olympics, we heard a plop, and the next second, there was no movement.

"Big bear, big bear! What's going on, huh? “

Snow Boy shouted from above.

As a result, there was no response.

"Your sister!" Xue Gongzi scolded

Guess what?

That's right, Snow Boy turned his attention to me.

The queen quit: "Hey, what do you think our family Lao Ji is doing?" What do you mean? ”

Xue Gongzi: "People go down, it's gone, doctor, you have to follow, that Doctor Ji, you see." ”

People have habitual thinking, that is, after being attracted by one thing or a point, it is difficult to pull out the thinking from the origin.

I'm a freak.

When everyone was shocked by the disappearance of Big Bear and Wang Tie.

Instead, I focused on the current environment.

The place where we stood on our feet was about three square meters, and behind us was the way back, with a solid rock wall to the left and right, and this large fault in front of us.

I took a flashlight, swept around, and then I found a detail.

At a distance of one meter and a half from my body, that is, on a steep rock wall above the right side, there was a protruding round stone, which was certainly not a gem.

The focus is on the surface of the stone, where there is a clear strangulation mark.

What does this mean? One is that someone has been here, and the other is that we have chosen the wrong anchor to go down!
