Chapter 489: Underground Exploration
It was spring on the southern hemisphere continent.
On the side of the canyon, cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
The sun is shining in the warm spring, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
Xiao Baizhu is still tirelessly digging that deep well.
The little warrior Hui Tao carried a spider silk bag and stood guard by the well.
The rock is hard in the depths, and it is very difficult to dig out a bag, and when the small white bamboo is dug up, Hui Tao climbs down and transports the gravel out.
……
"Banbu, Baizhu, you're here!" Hui Tao saw Madara and exclaimed in surprise and jumped up.
"Zebra! White bamboo! In the deep well, Xiao Baizhu cheered when he heard the news, put down his work, and quickly climbed out.
Banbu unloaded the goods on his back armor and ordered, "Bai Zhu, move the things into the cave." ”
"Okay." Bai Zhu began to get busy.
Each bag of the best Force food shipped over this time was worth 150,000 rough stones, and there were 40 bags, most of which were prepared by Zebra for himself, and it needed to be maintained for a long time.
Without the help of Zebra, the Rat King drilled into a deep well to check the situation.
"Xiao Baizhu, Hui Tao, are you two okay?"
"Good! Pretty good. After Xiao Baizhu's excitement, he was a little cramped.
"Banbu, this time it's the Force food that has just finished eating, and you're here!" Hui Tao clicked her tentacles in agreement, and looked at the little warrior Dongzhu who was following Madara Bu.
"It's called Winter Bamboo, and it will take over Hui Tao's place, leaving behind to take care of the life seed of the wedge wattle and the wild god-given seed. ”
"Dongzhu, this is Xiaobaizhu, this is Huitao of Yunwu Peak, it is the direct junior of Camellia."
Say hello to each other.
Xiao Baizhu looked at the deep well and took the initiative to say, "Banbu, the stone below is too hard, I can't dig it anymore." ”
Ban preached: "After two days of rest, you and Hui Tao will return to the Wanzu Continent with me, rest and play in Chiwu Mountain for half a year, and then enter the Longzhu Continent to help lay the steel rails." ”
"Yay!" Hui Tao jumped and cheered, and greeted: "Dongzhu, come here, I'll take you up and tell you about your weekday work." ”
There are only it and the little white bamboo in this place, and there are only a few 10 life plants to take care of, and they are usually bored, so they follow the little white bamboo to dig a well.
Hearing that he was leaving, Xiao Baizhu was a little reluctant and asked, "Banbu, do you want to stay?" ”
Madara said, "Of course. ”
Xiao Baizhu asked, "Then can I stay?" ”
"You need to return to Chiwu Mountain and eat more types of Force foods to balance the Force genes so that you can grow better." Xiao Baizhu, your age is not young, and you will be promoted to the county lord as soon as possible. ”
Xiao Baizhu's thinking was lively, and he immediately thought of a more far-reaching question, and said: "Banbu, I am the fourth-year-old mountain lord, and I am promoted to the county lord, is there no chance to come over again?" ”
Xiao Baizhu looked around, reluctant.
Madara said: "No, in the future, I will be promoted to the cockroach king, my ability will break through, and the seed given by the dragon bamboo god will break through and grow, and you should have a chance to come again." ”
"Understood." Xiao Baizhu happily agreed.
The Rat King checked it, climbed out of the wellhead, and said: "Banbu, the ability of soil and stone is very powerful, the hardness of the rock is not particularly high, and the effect of hardening after endless years has not been lost. ”
The Rat King emphasized: "The incredible ability has always been constant and has not failed at all. ”
"I understand." Banbu also walked to the mouth of the well, and his mental power probed to the bottom of the well.
For nearly eight years, Xiaobaizhu and Huitao only dug down to a depth of less than 40 meters.
At this time, the depth of the well has reached 190 meters, the width of the crack is still only 2 to 4 centimeters, and the rate of spilling out the force has not changed.
Banbu asked the Rat King, "It's not difficult to excavate, is it?" ”
The Rat King moved his paw and said, "No problem. ”
Bai Zhu quickly moved the Force food into the cave, stored it, and then ran forward, eager to try.
Banbu commanded: "Rat King, you dig first, dig yourself, and transport it out by yourself." ”
"Bai Zhu, you take Dong Zhu, go to the abandoned ore vein first, dig and transport a batch of rough stones back, and prepare it. I sent Hui Tao and Xiao Baizhu back, and immediately came over to help, I don't want to be in the Chijian Continent, for this matter to be delayed for too long, understand? ”
"Understood." The Rat King agreed.
"Oh, okay." Bai Zhu reluctantly agreed, his eyes rolling, and he proposed, "Banbu, why don't you let the Rat King mine?" I'm going to dig a well? My metal abilities are much more powerful than the Rat King. ”
"Does the Rat King know the road?" Banbu waved his tentacles, pumped on Bai Zhu's head, and scolded: "Less nonsense, move smarter, don't waste time." ”
Bai Zhu asked again, "Banbu, how many rough stones do you need to prepare?" ”
"At least 2 million." ”
"Forehead ......" Bai Zhu's head was lowered and depressed.
Banbu called Dongzhu again and gave an explanation.
After resting for two days, he left in a hurry with Xiao Baizhu and Hui Tao.
In a hurry, at this time in spring, the sea area of the southern hemisphere is still calm, and it is relatively easy to cross the sea, and after a while, it will be difficult to enter the summer.
……
Returning to the Longzhu Continent, he took the bullet train directly in the Eastern Regions, speeding along the railroad tracks, day and night, and arrived at Chiwu Mountain in just half a month.
Hui Tao and Xiao Baizhu worked hard in the Chijian Continent, so Banbu specially communicated with the Thunder Bamboo Ghost King, and the next batch of divine Force food exchanged between the two sides, Hui Tao rewarded a fire scale pine nut, and Xiao Baizhu rewarded a Tianmu magnolia.
In the future, only particularly outstanding warriors will be sent to the Chijian Continent Canyon, and after more than ten years of hard work, they will be justifiably rewarded with a divine Force food. When I return to Lizhu County, I will focus on training.
……
Banbu rested for a few days in Chiwu Mountain, and in the summer of the Northern Hemisphere, he carried 20 bags of the best Force food out to sea alone and landed on the Chijian Continent again.
2 million ordinary rough stones, not a small amount, the distance is far away, and it is troublesome to excavate and transport.
When Banbu arrived at the canyon, Baizhu and Dongzhu had just finished their task.
In the deep well, because the rat king was working alone, he was responsible for digging and carrying at the same time, and the speed could not be fast, and he only dug down to a depth of about 20 meters.
Zebra is in place, reintegrating existing metal resources, exerting metal capabilities, and creating a larger set of mechanical nooses.
The rest of the work was monotonous.
Rat King and Bai Zhu were in charge of digging at the bottom of the well, with Spotted cloth on it, manipulating the winch wheel to pull out bags of rubble.
The little warrior Dongzhu followed to help, moving the gravel to a distant place and dumping it.
Banbu is personally responsible for the most difficult vertical lifting work, and the excavation efficiency has been increased tenfold.
There may be large ones underground, and if they are valuable, they may need to be moved outward, so the deep well has always been maintained at 10 meters in diameter. If the excavated items are too big, they may need to be explored in the future.
Initially, progress can be maintained at more than 1 meter per day.
Soon, the depth of the well exceeded 500 meters, and the excavation efficiency was reduced to less than 1 meter per day.
The main reason is that the deeper you go, the harder the soil and rocks become, and it takes a lot of time for the white bamboo and the rat king to dig up, so they use the silver dagger to cut instead, and it is very difficult to cut.
Happily, deeper down, the cracks continue to expand. At a depth of 500 meters, the crack width reaches about 13.
Another whole year of busyness, with a depth of 700 meters and a crack width of about 19 centimeters.
At this depth, it was too difficult to transport the gravel vertically, and Banbu thought about being lazy, so he threw the gravel directly down the gap, and was afraid of blocking the passage.
What's going on deep underground? Madara himself had personally checked it with his mental power, and he could only go down about 150 meters.
Continue digging down for 80 meters, the width of the crack is more than 20 centimeters, and the white bamboo and the rat king can rub down the gap.
Banbu was a little impatient, so he simply sent them down to find out the situation first.
