Chapter 331: Geothermal Heat

In the winter of previous years, except for the minimum number of guards, there were generally not too many people left in the dungeon, and winter was the season for the dungeon to close its stalls.

But this year, because war preparations require different minerals, after the first snowfall, the dungeon is still brightly lit and busy.

Since they came, the two of them also inspected the work here by the way, and seeing that everyone was busy, Jun Qianqian calculated the production and optimized the schedule, so that everyone didn't have to keep working so hard.

No one knows how long the days of such vigilance will last, and they can't be exhausted from overtime now.

So on the first day of the two of them, they gave more than half of them a few days off.

The leader inspected such a thing as a holiday for everyone, and it was really only encountered in the south, and everyone rarely relaxed, and decided to hold a small bonfire party in the most spacious place under the dome of the underground palace that night to relax.

"Overtime is a dehumanizing thing."

Seeing everyone's happy appearance, Jun Qianqian couldn't help but sigh while eating the barbecue.

"They were even more relieved that they had won a battle at the border."

Reports are passed quickly from leadership to leadership, but if you want to get the ever-changing situation to everyone, there will inevitably be a delay in the message.

These people are afraid that they have turned their anxiety into motivation, and they have been working for a long time, and now they can breathe a sigh of relief, and they feel that their bodies and minds are about to reach their limits.

"Iniquity."

The two of them left the table after they had eaten their fill, and even though the leaders of the southern country had a good relationship with the people, the presence of the leaders was just as enjoyable.

They left early, so that these tribesmen who had been tired for so long had fun, anyway, except for the staff on duty, most of them didn't need to get up tomorrow, and it didn't matter if they slept until the afternoon.

Jun Qianqian and Luo Ze's tent had been tidied up, and after the two of them washed, they felt that it was still early, so they began to wander around the underground palace.

Originally, when the underground palace was carrying out mining activities, all the workers lived outside the underground palace, but this year, when they cleaned up the silt, most of the dome structure of the underground palace was reinforced, so that it didn't matter if they lived directly in winter.

The tent is still much warmer in the dungeon, and the lighting in the passage of the dungeon also allows the two to see the road clearly when they are strolling.

"After discovering the new mural, we deliberately intensified our search, but we never found any other passages that were not recorded."

Jun Qianqian touched the walls, most of the corridors where the ore was not transported were very clean, and the gems refracted the light of the torches, making the entire mine very beautiful.

"Does the map on the cloak indicate anything to you?"

Luo Ze took the map that Jun Qianqian had just handed him, and unfolded it against the light, only to feel that those thin lines were messed up, and it was also thanks to Jun Qianqian that he could recognize that the dungeon was drawn here.

"There is no indication on it that there are any other mines in the dungeon that we haven't discovered, if there is not an undiscovered area, then there are unfound mechanisms in the discovered area."

According to the marks on the map of colorful clothes, there should be something in the central dome part of the dungeon, but everyone has a banquet there tonight, and the two plan to start looking for it again tomorrow.

It's not a bad night.

When the two had had enough, they went back to sleep, and the noise of the people continued until late, and by the time everyone had gone to sleep, the two were already asleep.

The next day, Jun Qianqian and Luo Ze came to the dome and saw a large piece of battlefield wreckage left over from yesterday.

"Isn't it true that you can't catch a cold when you sleep like this?"

The sentries covered the people lying on the ground with blankets, but they slept outside.

"No, Lord Priest, we recently found out that the ground here is hot in winter, as long as we cover it with a quilt, it should be fine."

The dutiful guard on duty answered her.

"Really?"

Natural geothermal heat?

Jun Qianqian immediately put her hand on the ground, not feeling too obvious temperature, but she took off the scarf and put it on the ground for a while before touching it, and she really felt a little hot breath.

"It's really hot, no wonder you don't have to burn too much to set up a tent in the dungeon, I thought it was just a reason to avoid the wind, it turns out that there is still a heat source underground?"

Natural geothermal heat is generally caused by volcanic activity, which should be the case in the territory of the northern tribes, but there are no signs of volcanic activity found in the nearby Jun Qianqian, what is under the underground palace?

"We were so focused on finding directions around us that we forgot that even the buildings underground, we should dig down to see."

Luo Ze looked at Jun Qianqian, she stared at the ground thoughtfully.

"yes, it's a blind spot, I didn't think of it before."

The dungeon has been dug so deep, who would have thought that there would be something deeper underground?

"Send someone to dig it now?"

The guard listened to the two men and asked.

"No, let's rest and then talk about it, apart from geothermal heat, what other anomalies have you found?"

Jun Qianqian looked up at the mural on the dome again, and after seeing the beasts, seeing those battle patterns, her understanding could go further.

"I don't know anything else, I'll ask somebody else."

The guard was going to ask the other people who were working overtime in the dungeon like him, maybe he didn't know, but someone else had a clue.

"I'm sorry for you."

After the guards left, the two began to circle the edge of the dome.

"When we first found this place, did you notice that the ground heated?"

Jun Qianqian gestured to the location where she had fallen to the ground when she was poisoned, and Luo Ze stood aside and recalled.

"I don't know, the temperature in the entire dungeon was very high at that time, and you were also feverish."

Luo Ze didn't want to think back to the scene when she came back from the dead, and when he mentioned it, he only felt that the picture in his mind was a mess.

"Also, it was hot and humid at that time, and it was normal for the temperature underground to be higher than above the ground."

What the hell is hiding here?

What exactly is the thing drawn on the map of the colored clothes?

The official excavation was arranged after most of the people came back from vacation, and these days, in addition to walking around and dealing with the necessary documents passed by the letter eagle, they continued to wander around in the underground palace, almost every inch of land was trampled by the two of them more than twice, and they did not let go of the dusty mine that was being mined.

After Jun Qianqian made a specific excavation plan, half of the people continued to mine, and the other half prepared their tools and began to dig on the ground according to the instructions.

"It's dug up here, and there's no warm place to live."

The people are a little sorry that this natural kang can't be used, but in order to know the secret of the underground palace, everyone still starts work neatly.

And before they could dig for long, someone came to inform Jun Qianqian that they had made a new discovery.
