Liuxian County is located in the north of Pengcheng State, and the terrain is narrow from north to south and wide from east to west. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Surabaya flows down from the north, and when it flows through the territory of Liuxian, it suddenly widens, from tens of zhang to hundreds or even thousands of zhang, just like a big umbrella suddenly opened, covering most of Liuxian. As the river widens, the flow of water also drops sharply, and it slowly flows into the Yellow River. The Yellow River in this era is also called the big river, and the later generations are very different, one is the difference in direction, it is from Pengcheng Xuzhou to the east into the sea, the other is that the water is not as turbulent as the later generations, and the river itself is still clear, there is not so much sediment mixed in it, naturally it is impossible to have the name of the Yellow River, at this time it also bears the role of the world's water 6 transportation hub, from the status is much higher than the Yangtze River at this time.

In fact, to be precise, the river surface of Surabaya in Liuxian County has only widened, and the riverbed has not been widened to the extent of thousands of zhang, at most, it has doubled with the repeated erosion of the river. Therefore, don't look at the vast expanse of smoke and waves with the naked eye, in fact, the only place where boats can be sailed is the river channel of Surabaya itself. What Zhao Min didn't know was that the so-called widened river channel was the famous Weishan Lake in later generations, which was later alluvial by the Yellow River, and it was just the prototype of the lake at this time.

The merchant ship that Zhao Min was on brought a small boarding boat with six boats, which could carry two or three people. However, this river that is several miles wide is naturally not something that can be explored completely by a small boat, not to mention that there are more than 50 people in his team, and it is impossible to explore in three or two people, leaving nearly 50 people to stare dryly on the side, right?

Therefore, at Zhao Min's request, the boatman docked near Liuxian, and Shao Qi took several guards to the fishing village on the shore to collect boats. Anyway, there are a lot of fishermen around, and the ones that can drive on the widened river are flat boats, which are no different from the fishing boats that fishermen use on weekdays. Since there are people who solicit money, as long as they give money, the fishermen will not allow it. Therefore, in just two or three hours, more than 20 fishing boats were gathered, and together with the merchant ships that Zhao Min was riding, they marched towards the widened river.

The merchant ships had a deep draft, and when they reached the shallower part of the river, they stopped anchor. Zhao Min instructed all the guards to take a fishing boat in a group of two, and the two boats were separated by two zhang and lined up in a straight line. After that, the old trick was repeated, using a magnet tied to a rope as a pathfinder, from west to east, vowing to comb the river completely and neatly.

When it came to the end, Zhao Min felt a little inexplicably anxious. What he was anxious about was not the time limit of the task, the time required for the task was three months, and he came out of the country, because of the smooth sailing and smooth sailing, and he didn't delay much work in the Zheng family compound, but only ten days had passed at this time, and there was still a lot of time. He was anxious about Jimo's side, there was still a lot of work to do to establish a feudal state, and most of them needed him to make decisions. In the past, Zhao Min did not have an actual administrative plan, so there was no need for his subordinates to complete the task, although he controlled Jimo County, but the actual government affairs were handled by Meng Hou and others. Now he wants to build a new country, and the so-called difficult beginning, he can't afford to delay it for too long. If he wasn't afraid that once he returned to Jimo, he would have no time to get out and there was a danger of delaying the time limit of the mission, so he went back with Meng Hou and the others early in the morning. To put it bluntly, Zhao Min still has some faint expectations in his heart for becoming a veritable "king".

Unfortunately, things often don't go as planned. From the time of the day to the middle of the Shen period, for nearly four hours, the combs lined up by the fishing boats had combed the widened river channel to the fullest, except for some messy copper kettles, iron anchors and other sundries, nothing of value was found. In order to avoid omissions, I combed it a second time from the opposite direction, and now this second time has been almost halfway through, and seeing that it is getting late, I have to call it a day for the time being.

Dozens of boats returned to Liuxian, and when they landed, Zhao Min made an agreement with the fishermen that they would still gather here in the early morning of the next day, and paid the money in advance, and then left the boat and went to stay in the county. That night, Zhao Min thought hard about it, and the details of the mission description corresponded to this place. He summoned the boatman and asked him repeatedly, but there was no other terrain similar to it in the whole of Surabaya. In the end, I had to blame it on not exploring carefully enough today, and I urgently need to explore it again in the future.

The second day was more than the first day, and Zhao Min even ordered more than a dozen fishing boats to be collected in the fishing village, making a total of forty, leaving one guard for each boat, and the boats were only spaced at a distance of one zhang, almost within reach of the two adjacent boats. Zhao Min thought to himself, with such a dense formation, it is impossible for there to be omissions, right? However, after a full day, I combed the river back and forth twice, and still found nothing!

Now Zhao Min is really a little blind. What went wrong? After finishing the team at night, Zhao Min absentmindedly had dinner and returned to the guest room alone to meditate. The place is right, is it the wrong method? The magnets of this era were all natural, and the main ingredient should be ferric oxide, which can produce a suction reaction to almost any object containing iron. You think it's possible that the things in this river are copper or some other metal? Just kidding, with the refining technology of this era, how could there be such an item as pure copper or pure lead? Of course, natural pure copper may still exist, but what can be explored must be artificial, the natural one is called copper ore, the texture is extremely soft, and it cannot be cast into anything at all.

As for the non-metallic fabrication of the object being explored, this is extremely unlikely. What else could it be if it wasn't metal? Paper or cloth is not considered at all, it has long been rotten into slag in the water, and the wooden ones will not rot if they have been soaked in the water, but this puddle is sometimes dry and sometimes thin, and once the wood comes into contact with the air, it will soon be unrecognizable. As for the things that will not rot and deteriorate in the water, it is not nothing, such as bone products, and then stone products. However, in Zhao Min's mind, what can be recognized by the system and arrange for him to come to find it must be something of considerable value, and even with the relatively simple values of the ancients, plus it needs to be inherited for many years, it is usually metal products! Of course, if it was really a bone product or a stone product, Zhao Min had no choice but to cry out in vain. If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be necessary to move the people of the whole county to go into the water together, and it is possible to grope inch by inch, so it is better to directly rank this task with a "pssb1"!

So normally, as long as it is a metal product, after combing it several times like this screen, how should there be a reaction? What went wrong? Zhao Min was puzzled.

The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, Zhao Min felt that his throat was unbearably dry, and he picked up the tea on the side to moisten his throat. Unexpectedly, he was absent-minded, but the tips of his fingers touched the teacup, and when he withdrew his wrist, he didn't squeeze it tightly, and the teacup suddenly turned on its side, and rolled from the table to the edge of the table. Zhao Min hurriedly reached it with his other hand, but forgot that he was sitting on the other side of the table, but where could he reach it, but he used too much force, and his head hit the edge of the table with a "bang", and the teacup naturally fell to the ground and shattered.

This hit violently, Zhao Min covered his head with one hand, and looked fiercely at the fragments of the teacup on the ground. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he muttered in his mouth: "I understand the distance from isolation!" I see! ”

It turned out that it suddenly occurred to him that since the magnet did not react, it did not mean that there was really nothing at the bottom of the river. Because the length of the rope tied to the magnet is fixed, if the distance is too far, and the iron content of the bottom is insufficient, it cannot produce magnetic force! Do you have to dig through the mud inch by inch to find it? Of course not, what is the difference between that and filling the river with manpower?

What Zhao Min thought was that if it was caused by too far distance, was it possible that there were deeper potholes under the shallow riverbed? This was not the case in Jiaozhou Bay before, and the "treasure" I was looking for in the end was actually in the cave on the island, but the cave was also connected to the bottom of the sea. That time, I was able to escape by relying on the undersea passage, so I was deeply impressed by the cave. When I encountered a problem this time, I unexpectedly thought of it.

So in the early morning of the next day, Zhao Min instructed not to rush out first, but to ask people to find some bamboo poles ranging from one zhang to several zhang first, and then each fishing boat according to the length of the roots, and go to the widened river again. When we arrived at the river, they were still lined up in a dense formation, but this time instead of magnets, bamboo poles were used to probe the bottom and test the depth of the river. Zhao Min ordered in advance, and those with a water depth of less than three zhang did not need to return and continue to explore. According to his estimate, if it is less than three zhang, the magnet should have a reaction, since it has been screened several times before, there is little response, and it should definitely be outside three zhang.

Sure enough, this time it didn't take too long, and the fleet had swept less than half the distance when they saw a commotion in the distance. Soon a fishing boat came to report that there was a deep hole that could not be explored with the longest bamboo pole, which could be said to be unfathomable. Zhao Min's eyebrows were slightly relaxed when he heard this, but it was not time to relax, so he immediately ordered two small boats to be left behind, tied with a long rope and a magnet to go down to the bottom, and the rest of the boats continued to sift through the remaining river surface. He wasn't sure if the deep cave he was exploring was the place to be found, and besides, people only said "exploration" on the task, but they didn't say that they must only find one thing, right? So be careful, it's not a big mistake, or all the screening, and your heart will be more steady.

There was a cheer from the exploration of the pothole, and the magnet reacted! Zhao Min breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that he would not encounter this pit father's exploration mission again in the future, it was purely a blind man touching an elephant, and everything depended on guessing. Fortunately, I guessed correctly twice in a row, but if I guess wrong, I don't know how serious the task punishment will be!

The rest of the matter is much simpler, it is nothing more than arranging for people to go into the water, tying ropes to the underwater objects, and then dragging them out to live. Although no one in Zhao Min's personal guard knew the nature of water, there were still forty fishermen and seven or eight sailors on the merchant ship! There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention that this is not something to risk their lives to do, naturally some people rush to enter the water. Soon, the person who entered the water tied two long ropes, and then rowed from the other end of the boat with the long rope to the shore, where there was nowhere to borrow power, but only to be dragged by manpower on the shore.

Zhao Min instructed not to be in a hurry, and waited for the remaining boats to finish patrolling the entire river and confirmed that there were no omissions, and then let everyone row to the shore in small boats, leaving only one in the pit for surveillance, and he also came to the shore by boat. After landing, Zhao Min divided everyone into two teams, each team grabbed a long rope and exerted force on both sides. With an order, nearly 100 people worked together, but when they saw that the rope was instantly straightened, the faces of the people who pulled the rope on the shore were red, and the things in the water were so heavy!

Seeing that the rope was getting tighter and tighter, Zhao Min's heart also rose together! But when I saw everyone by the river, they all gritted their teeth, the green tendons on their heads burst out, and their bodies leaned back, almost parallel to the ground! After a few breaths of stalemate, suddenly the force from the rope loosened, and suddenly everyone fell to the sky, turning into a rolling gourd! But though they were all in a state of disarray, not one of them was depressed, but they were overjoyed, for the object had been pulled out of the river!

Next, the tug-of-war crowd was obviously no longer so difficult, and once the underwater thing was out of the power of the underwater bondage, it was much easier to pull up. As everyone retreated step by step, seeing that the rope exposed on the water was getting closer and closer to the riverbank, Zhao Min's hanging heart was completely relaxed. But the curiosity that came with it took over most of the mind. What is it that is so mysterious that you have to travel all the way here to salvage it?

Finally, with a burst of cheers, the thing that disturbed Zhao Min's mind was dragged away from the water, revealing its face. Everyone stopped pulling, and Zhao Min looked at it curiously, but saw that the thing was irregular in shape, about a foot square, and the surface was black, covered with silt and aquatic plants, which was really not real.

Zhao Min approached, and then saw that it should be a four-legged tripod-like thing. Zhao Min made cloth with his sleeves and vigorously wiped off the black mud on the surface. With Zhao Min's wiping, this thing gradually revealed its original appearance, it should be a bronze product, and countless intricate patterns were engraved on the surface. At first glance, you can't tell what the drawing is, but if you look closely, it looks like a map. Guy Zhao Min has seen the maps of this era several times, and he is deeply impressed by the abstract paintings, so he has a sense of familiarity at first sight. But let's be honest, if it's a map, it's a lot better! Because the engraving process is not like a flat map, it can express a three-dimensional feeling, and the mountains and rivers on it are also undulating and winding, which is really extraordinary.

Wait, the map? Ding, topographic map of mountains and rivers, these are put together, and a legendary term suddenly popped up in Zhao Min's mind! This term was so unbelievable that Zhao Min was stunned on the spot.

"Is it actually ?!!?"
