Chapter 322: Considering the manhole
readx;
"What kind of hole? How deep? Yu Su asked, David gestured with his hand: "The hole is not big, about fifty centimeters in diameter, vertical, very deep, the flashlight can't shine to the end, however, the preliminary judgment is that this hole is not naturally formed, there are traces of excavation."

Yu Su looked at Lafayette and the five tigers of the Guan family, and asked, "...... Would you like to go down and have a look? β
Lafayette said: "This cave is a little strange, we didn't find anything about the ghost town on the wreck, and we don't know what the wreck has to do with this hole, the ghost town has not been found, it's best not to make any extraneous branches." β
At this time, One-Eyed Zhang suddenly grabbed David, sniffed it with his nose, and frowned: "Friend, you grew up eating dead human flesh?" β
David glared: "What are you kidding?" I came to China when I was nine years old, and I grew up eating authentic Hutong skewers from Peking kebabs. β
"Then why do you smell of dead people?" One-eyed Zhang squinted at David, with a smile on his lips.
David's face immediately sank: "This big guy, don't curse me!" As he spoke, he reached behind his back with his right hand and grasped the dagger.
"The smell is not on him, it's in the hole." The knife said as he slipped into the cabin.
One-eyed Zhang smiled, patted Davy on the shoulder, and followed the knife in.
The beard rubbed his hands and said, "Lafayette, it seems that this river is really a sleepy dragon." Galeries Lafayette opened his eyes and asked, "How do you say that?" Hu Zi said: "You see, if someone wants to build an ancient tomb, then the trapped dragon bureau must not be used, but it depends on what the tomb owner thinks, if he wants to knock the bone and suck the marrow, then it doesn't matter whether it is a trapped dragon or a flying dragon, as long as it can absorb the essence of the dragon marrow, this river is a trapped dragon, it stands to reason that no one will build an ancient tomb here, but the hole under the riverbed is enough to show that not only someone has built an ancient tomb here, but also a knock bone and suck the marrow, I see that hole, there must be a great fat bucket."

Lafayette snorted: "It makes sense, but the future is terrifying." β
"Haha, then what are you waiting for?" Beard said, and immediately got in. More and faster chapters are here.
I glanced at the Five Tigers, and to be honest, I had already developed resistance to this kind of thing, but now I just want to find the ghost town, and I don't want to make any more trouble.
Obviously, the Five Tigers have the same idea as me, and are indifferent to the temptation of that cave.
At this time, One-Eyed Zhang came out of the cabin and said, "Captain Yu Su, I preliminarily judge that the hole should be a manhole, it is very deep, we need equipment to go down and take a closer look." β
Yu Su raised his eyebrows: "Worry about the manhole!" This kind of thing was used to collect drinking water in arid areas in ancient times, and its appearance here indicates that there is a large population gathering area nearby, and the ghost town is nearby! After speaking, while asking someone to fetch climbing equipment and lighting tools, he arranged for David to lead people to look around for the ruins of the ancient city. More and faster chapters are here.
I thought about it, the known ruins of ancient countries in this desert are very far away from here, if there are really ancient city ruins, it can only mean that it is a ghost town, thinking of these, I can't help but be excited, and I also asked Yu Su for a set of equipment, Tieshazui looked at me, wanted to say something, but didn't say, I patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, I can take care of myself, I'll go down and take a look." More and faster chapters are here. β
The cabin was full of mud and floating dust, which seemed particularly cramped and depressing, and I, Yu Su, Sniper Dollis and three foreigners were crammed inside, and I was a little breathless.
I took a closer look at the hole and found that there was a lot of shale stacked on top of each other at the fracture, which is a typical muddy water filtration system, and I can almost imagine how the ancients took water.
It stands to reason that there is such a big river here (which has now dried up), people do not need this kind of manhole to store water, it is likely that because of this river, connected to the groundwater of several major inland river systems of the Tarim River and the Peacock River, and so on in the rainy season or the iceberg meltwater floods, the river will have a flood season, so the ancient city can not be too close to this river, that can only be filtered by digging a manhole under the riverbed, and then through the U-shaped pipe principle to transport the filtered water to the ancient city in the distance. If so, I think I know why there is an ancient shipwreck here, it is likely that this ship was traveling on the river at that time, and when they reached the top of the manhole, these filtering shales suddenly collapsed after thousands of years of river erosion, and the river water poured into the ground, then a huge suction vortex would be formed on the river surface, thus sinking the ancient ship, which also confirmed why the remains of the ancient ship appeared unevenly distorted.
Thinking of this, I can't help but get a little excited, if my guess is correct, then the need to build this kind of manhole will require a huge amount of material and manpower, and the city-state with such a strong force is likely to be the legendary and mysterious ghost town of Lop Nur.
