173.Strange Stone Layer (2)
I can't complain about the madman, and I've always looked at him like an idiot, and this time is no exception.
Returning to the rock formation overhead, although the madman was quite alive just now, it also led to a phenomenon. It is impossible for a finger to be inserted into the hole, and the madman said that because of the forced bending, it is a stone, not tofu, and even if the gray rock layer in front of it is crunchy, it will not reach the point where he can't pull out his finger if he sinks it in.
It seems that the problem lies in this white rock. But when I went to drill holes one after another, except that it was a little tighter than the limestone layer, there was nothing abnormal, so why couldn't the madman pull it out because of his crooked fingers?
I also reached out and touched it, and the surface was rough, and no lime came off. After a little groaning, he raised his hand and began to drill again, and after drilling five holes, he put his finger in, and after only two seconds, his face shrank back slightly, and I quickly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"There is a problem with this stone, as soon as the finger enters it, it generates a suction, and the straight section is soft, and the finger can be pressed in and adsorbed by a slight bend, as if it were ...... There is life as it is. ”
I was taken aback, "Are you sure you're talking about this stone?" Alive? ”
Even though the world is full of wonders, I have never heard of life in stones. And one after another, he nodded slightly hesitantly, "Let me try again." After saying that, I was about to put my finger into the hole again, and I instinctively grabbed his arm to stop it, since I had already found something abnormal, why risk reaching out to test it? What if I can't pull it out like the crazy guy just now?
With an idea, he turned his eyes to look at the madman, "Look for wires in your bag to see if there's anything like that." Fortunately, the madman had recovered from the pain of almost being separated from the "right hand brother", and after listening to my instructions, he still opened the bag and searched for it without saying a word, and after a while, he found a circle of copper wire. I was slightly surprised, and I just said that, I didn't think that this backpack was really omnipresent.
took the copper wire loop, pulled out a long section, and was taken over one after another when he raised his hand, "I'll come, you're too short, look at you tiptoeing weirdly tired." I choked on my chest and glared at him in annoyance, which eye saw that I was tiptoeing? What's more, at this time, the water is not up to his knees, the water is dark, is he sharp-eyed or what, can he see through the water? It's clearly burying me short!
But am I short? Obviously one meter six or five, among women is considered a medium height, but he has become shorter. The annoyance disappeared, and when I saw that he didn't bend it after inserting the copper wire into the hole, I asked, "Didn't you say that the cut inside is soft?" ”
Before I could react, he pulled out the copper wire and quickly put his finger in, and I just reacted that it was too late to pull him. But seeing that his face was abnormal, his heart sank, could he really be caught up in the hand like a madman and couldn't point it out? But as soon as the thought rolled, his hand was retracted, and he only heard him say, "This stone is really strange, the cut surface that was soft just now is now hard, and the suction is gone." ”
And what's going on? It only took half a minute before and after that there was a change in the white rock formation? Thinking about the situation of the madman just now, I suddenly understood the reason why his fingers couldn't be pulled out. When he poked his fingers in, the cut was soft, and it was easy for him to cut it into the cut with his five fingers, and then the time was consumed by his several efforts, and he didn't know why the rock became stronger, so he embedded his finger in the stone layer.
I heard the sound of an electric drill in doubt, and found that I was drilling holes in the white rock next to me one after another, and this time I only drilled one and stopped, and took the copper wire to probe in, but it was not bent as expected. He thought for a while, continued to drill holes with an electric drill, drilled dozens of holes in a row, and made the white rock into a hole honeycomb, and then knocked it hard, and the stone layer fell off again. At the moment of falling off, I saw that he quickly took his palm and pasted it on Bai Yan, and a miracle happened, his palm actually fell directly into the stone layer, and when the entire palm surface was not outdated, he retracted his hand, only to see that the palm print was like an open mouth closing a little bit, shrinking to only the size of a child's palm before stopping.
This time, it was not only me, but also the madman who looked straight at each other, and the madman asked in a startling voice, "Is this stone a monster?" Will it still move? I wanted to open my mouth to refute, but I didn't know what theory to use to convince him, because even I thought it was incredible.
Of the three, only one after another was calm, and he said in a deep voice: "I can roughly understand what is going on, this white rock contains some kind of microorganism that we cannot see with the naked eye, and there may not be a limestone layer in the first place, which is a protective film derived from them. Within the protective layer, they multiply and erode the white rock, making it their breeding ground. However, when the protective layer falls off and the electric drill punches a hole, the air invades quickly, making the hotbed a hard bed, and the entire surface layer is hardened by the air. ”
"According to what you say, isn't it true that this white rock has already been riddled with holes and is infested with this microorganism?" I wondered.
nodded one after another, "That's right, I'm afraid that the white fog on this road is because of this microorganism, the reason why the limestone in front of it is solid, and it is crunchy when it comes here, I guess this is the concentration area of white rocks, which is also equivalent to their base camp." ”
After clearing up my doubts, I was left with only one question: "So, are they harmful?" ”
There was silence one after another, and I knew he couldn't answer. Although this phenomenon has not caused any harm to everyone at the moment, there are often some things that are potentially dangerous, and not having a seizure at one moment does not mean that you will be safe in the next moment. I also asked this as a wake-up call to him, hoping that he would stop insisting on his opinion.
With no end in sight, who knows if there is danger waiting for us? In addition, along the road, I never encountered a newt, which is also very weird. If there is one that guards this waterway, then it is only a matter of time before it is encountered, and there is only one possibility: it is waiting for us somewhere, waiting for an opportunity.
He is not a stupid person, and he can think of what I can think of. He made a decisive decision: "Turn back!" ”
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I was really afraid that he knew that there were tigers in the mountains and still favored the tiger mountains, but finally he was still sensible, and he did not lose his rationality in order to find Han Jiancheng. I'm afraid that the madman among the three is not in a state, and when he found me and one after another turned around, he was still shouting: "Eh, it's going in the wrong direction, not over there!" He was dragged backwards after being lifted by the collar, and dragged it almost a dozen meters away before he asked in a dangerous tone: "Is the direction wrong?" ”
The madman was frightened and shook his head again and again: "That's right, that's right." ”
I saw that his face was very heavy at this time, and I could taste the complexity of his mood. This time into the ancient cave, it has taken a lot of time, patience is also slowly worn out in the waste, a series of accidents have added to the danger of this trip, when he finally found out that there is a possible trace of Han Jiancheng, but because of the inexplicable microbial white rock and the white mist in the air and retreated, it is inevitable that he is unwilling, but he has to consider the safety of me and the madman, so his mood is on the verge of anxiety.
Fortunately, you can choose the fork in the road to continue to explore, and there may be unexpected discoveries. I thought so, but the real accident happened when we walked back about fifty meters, and the three of us paused at the same time, staring ahead in amazement, and I felt a chill in my heart.
The madman wiped his eyes with his sleeve, wiped them again, and then said dumbfoundedly, "Am I dazzled?" Little Six Little Nine, do you see a wall there? No one spoke, but in their hearts they acquiesced: You are not dazzled, I have seen it.
A wall of limestone stands in front of us, blocking the way out. The seams on both sides were tight, there was no gap, and he walked forward quickly one after another, bent down and reached into the water, and when he got up, his face became more and more condensed, needless to say, the bottom of the water was also blocked.
This fact is so weird, it's not that a tree or something can grow, it's a stone, how can it suddenly appear? But even if it is a tree, what kind of tree can grow in less than an hour? So the only thing that can be explained: the mechanism.
In this section of the road, we inadvertently touched the mechanism, causing the rock wall to emerge from the ground or from the top.
One after another, he suddenly turned around and asked, "When we turned back just now, did you notice any other forks in the road?" I was slightly stunned, and my mind quickly understood what he meant, his thoughts seemed to be different from mine, and he wanted to say that there was no fork in the road, but after thinking about it carefully, the road was white and foggy, and the visual range was so short that even the people next to him looked hazy, how could I be sure?
Seeing that I hesitated, he turned around and took my hand without saying a word, "Let's go, let's go back and investigate, I'm on the left, crazy you are on the right, they are all touching the wall, Xiao Jiu, you pay attention to him, beware of him in case he touches the fork in the road." ”
So the three of them walked side by side, walking in unison, and since my left hand was always being held one after the other, I only had to focus on the madman. When the waterway was wide, I took the madman by the arm, and fifty meters or so did not have to go long, and there were no other forks in the road on the way, and when I suddenly stopped, I turned my head to look at him, and saw that he was raising his head slightly.
As soon as I looked over, I realized that we had returned to where we had just been, mottled on the top, and a block of limestone had fallen, showing white rock. In other words, there were no forks in the road along the way, so the assumption of succession was wrong, and I put forward my own opinion: "Could it be an institution?" ”
"I don't know." Shaking his head one after another, his eyebrows frowned tightly, "Let's go back and take a look, if it really doesn't work, we will drill it with an electric drill." ”
He said that the after-action was a bit unrealistic, his electric drill pen was too thin and not long enough, and if the whole wall was thick, how long would it have to be drilled? I didn't have to touch the wall anymore when I turned back, so I was a little quicker, and I glanced at the madman when I heard him hit his head a few more times. An inexplicable flash of heart flashed, but it was too fast to catch it.
