Chapter 271: The Great Avalanche
"It's an avalanche!" "It's an avalanche!" It was too late, but it was fast, and Han Bingbin, who had been working in the field in Siberia all year round, was busy pulling Liu Weiping to retreat behind the mining machine. Before the two of them could climb out of the groove just dug by the mining machine, another thunderous sound rolled down from far to near from the direction of the top of Baikal Peak, and the rolling thunder also seemed to be accelerated by gravity, running all the way towards Liu Weiping and Han Bingbin.
After a while, accompanied by the heart-rending wind, the snowflakes in the sky rushed to the face, and those light drones suspended in the air staggered under the impact of the snowflakes, they were different from the life of digital Homo sapiens, they did not know the danger they were facing, but with the help of the positioning program, they returned to the previous hovering position after a few swings, but the overwhelming snow waves immediately swallowed up the group of these drones.
The Baikal avalanche caused by the operation of the mining machine erupted without warning, after several years of snow accumulation, the volcanic rock on the summit of Baikal was covered with hundreds of meters of ice and snow, the site of the Baikal summit was not very stable, the stress accumulated inside the volcanic rock has not been completely dissipated, under the induction of the strong vibration of the mining machine, the summit of Baikal not only cracked the ice sheet, but also the volcanic rock below was cracked, or loosened, or shattered under the action of huge external forces.
Suddenly, the perennially hard rock-like ice, snow and volcanic rocks set off a monstrous wave from the top of the peak, and under the surging conditions, in the sudden changes, the ice, snow and gravel on the mountain were like a waterfall after a flash flood, falling straight down from the cliff face, pouring thousands of miles, and rushing to the location of the mining machine in an instant.
The location of the mining rig is a gentle slope east of Baikal, which is actually a huge flat area made up of glacial grains, which is of course the result of the accumulation of time. The ice, snow and gravel that rushed down from the mountain, hit this gentle slope with a huge impact, and happened to hit the mining machine stationed in the snow, and suddenly, the ice and snow particles hit the mining machine IQ, and they rose into the air, and the snowflakes flew, covering the sky and the sun, as if there was a huge snowstorm, and under the attack of this blizzard, the heavy mining machine could not be counteracted, and began to slide slowly down the hillside.
"Quick, let's get out! Don't stay here for long! In an instant, Han Bingbin and Liu Weiping jumped onto the track of the mining machine with one lunge, and then climbed towards the top of the mining machine in three steps and two steps. The direction of the peak was still thunderous, shaking the heavens and the earth, and continuous ice, snow and gravel poured in, rushing through the bodies of Han Bingbin and Liu Weiping like a mountain torrent, forcing them to hold on tightly to the crane arm of the mining machine and couldn't move.
"Where are we going to retreat?" In the chaos, Liu Weiping found that the communication module had failed, so he had no choice but to yell at Han Bingbin.
Han Bingbin seemed to have something wrong with him, he didn't answer, just stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky, Liu Weiping looked up and saw that the white airship transporting the mining machine had not been withdrawn, and it seemed that it had received Han Bingbin's signal and was slowly following the direction of the mining machine and drifting down.
The avalanche at the summit of Baikal has just begun, a large area of ice, snow and rocks have continued to collapse, bringing thousands of tons of ice to continue to impact along this slope on a section more than a kilometer wide, and the mushroom cloud composed of flying snow has hit and risen from the mining machine again and again, and has fallen again and again, and finally, the snow peak has bypassed the mining machine, like a wild horse that has escaped, galloping, roaring, with a huge wave of air, spraying white smoke, galloping down the slope all the way, like an ice and snow dragon, invincible all the way, Overwhelming.
In the nick of time, Han Bingbin pulled Liu Weiping to jump deep and grabbed the airship suspension. Under the strong impact of the ice and snow dragon, the hundred-ton mining machine looked vulnerable, rolling like a snowball, and the large circle with a diameter of dozens of meters was shoveled up and fell, flickering in the snow and mist.
At that moment, Liu Weiping and Han Bingbin disappeared into the snow and mist, along with the hard volcanic rocks and towering ice peaks, as if there was nothing in the world but the flying snow.
Although the airship moves slowly, it has infinite lift, and it has received Han Bingbin's instructions, stubbornly resisting the strong wind on the peak, and constantly increasing its altitude. In a few moments, a snowball broke through the snow mist, broke away from the whistling ice field, and under the traction of the suspension rope, made a beautiful arc in the air, causing the sun to sparkle.
Han Bingbin and Liu Weiping wiped the snow from their eyes, and looked down at the entire eastern slope area, which had been flattened, and a huge ice and snow dam had been piled up at the location of the mining machine, and the heavy snow from the peak was still slowly leaking down, constantly piling up at the foot of the snow dam.
"Bingbin, do you think it's our mining machine?" Liu Weiping stretched out his hand and pointed to the place more than 200 meters above the snow dam, a large disc was erected in the snow valley, stubbornly blocking the snow still leaking from the peak, although the surface of the disc was covered with a layer of ice and snow, but the outline of the shovel teeth from above was very similar to the forklift of the mining machine dropped by Noahbrisk.
"Professor, it's unlikely, our miner has already washed down the hill." Han Bingbin replied, but he did not let go of this suspicion, Han Bingbin manipulated the airship the size of a football field to rise in the direction of the peak, hovering on the newly discovered mining machine, he and Liu Weiping climbed onto the forklift with the suspension cable, and reached out to pick up the snow on it, and sure enough, it was the same structure as the forklift equipped with the mining machine ordered by Noahbrisk.
"How can this be?" Han Bingbin was taken aback, he was in a hurry to investigate even more than the scheduled mission to find an alien spacecraft, and pulled Liu Weiping to wrap the suspension cable tightly around the forklift. "Take off, slow down and take off!" Han Bingbin fixed the forklift and began to direct the airship to slowly lift, driven by the buoyancy of the airship, the forklift began to loosen, slowly revealing the snowdrift, followed by a crane arm dozens of meters long, followed by a huge towing bucket.
Just when the mining machine under the snowdrift was about to reveal its entire outline, there was a rumbling sound on the hillside, and the airship was pulled down violently, and the mining machine seemed to suddenly increase its weight by hundreds of tons. The snow around the mining rig poured down like a whirlpool, forming a funnel in the valley.
"Look, there's more than one mining rig." Liu Weiping's communication system had not yet returned to normal, and he pointed to the big funnel below to show Han Bingbin. As he spoke, earth-shaking changes had taken place underneath, and in the tsunami-like sound, the snow in a radius of thousands of meters had disappeared in an instant, revealing the corpses of three mining machines piled up at the bottom of the valley.
"Let's go down and see." Before Liu Weiping finished speaking, he climbed to the bottom of the valley along the long boom of the mining machine, and Han Bingbin also hurriedly jumped down with him. The place where the mining machines were stacked was a large hole with a diagonal opening, half of which had been blocked by the sliding snow, and three huge mining machines were blocked from the hole, and there were messy cabinets inside, which looked like a large construction site.
"Snow blower, come over the snow blower." Han Bingbin seemed to have discovered a big treasure, and sent one instruction after another to the temporary base on the western slope.
