Chapter 61: Descending the Cliff
Wen Chengyu took the instructions and began to get busy, only to see him turn out a variety of drilling equipment from his bag, he first used a drilling machine to drill more than a dozen holes on the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel, and then anchored two steel frames more than half a person high to the stone walls on both sides, the steel frame comes with a very large pulley, the pulley is full of climbing ropes, and four small pulleys are divided under the main pulley, in other words, a piece of equipment can let four people go down at the same time, Wen Chengyu installed two, In other words, all of us can go down at the same time, and to be honest, this is the first time I've seen such high-end and high-grade equipment, but I don't know if this thing has a firm grip!
An hour later, Wen Chengyu had installed and reinforced the entire equipment for going down the cliff, and I probably guessed how we should go down the cliff as soon as I saw it!
After the installation of the equipment for the cliff, everyone did not hesitate, we briefly estimated their respective weights, and then divided them into two groups evenly, in order to save time, we prepared two groups of people to go down the cliff at the same time!
After Wen Chengyu briefly explained to everyone the precautions for using this set of equipment, everyone put on the rope sleeve for mountaineering, and then connected it firmly with the rope on the bracket, and then began to descend the cliff!
At first, I was a little uncertain, but as we slowly slid down the cliff, I began to think that this equipment was so easy to use, we didn't have to exert a little force on our own, the mechanism that controlled the speed of the pulley was on top of our rope sleeve, and the speed of the descent was completely controlled by ourselves!
The speed at which everyone descended was basically the same, but the monkey deliberately slowed down in order to find excitement, and he had already rushed to us for a long time!
At this moment, the canyon is much wider than before, and when we look up, perhaps due to visual errors, the place where we began to descend the cliff before seems to have become a "ray of sky"!
In the project of descending the cliff, we will still use the headlamp to transmit signals to the bottom of the cliff from time to time, and the same signal will always be transmitted back from the bottom of the cliff, but there is no sound response.
Half an hour later, we had probably gone down more than 100 meters, and I couldn't believe that we still couldn't see the situation at the bottom of the cliff at the moment, and we felt that there were at least 100 meters below us, and I didn't know if our climbing rope was enough for us to go down to the bottom of the cliff.
The process of descending the cliff was very boring, and everyone didn't have the heart to speak, so they just slid down on their own.
I was really bored, so I looked around again, and saw that the two ends of the canyon still stretched infinitely on both sides, and I couldn't see the end at all!
I took another look at the stone wall opposite, and then I suddenly realized that something was wrong! How do I feel that the stone wall on the other side seems to be away from us...... It's a lot closer!
I probably estimated that the width of the canyon at this moment should be only about four or five meters, which is about the same width as the place where we first came down!
But no, the whole canyon is laid out in a narrow layout at the top and wide at the bottom, there shouldn't be only such a little distance at the moment, we have dropped more than 100 meters, and the width of the canyon must be 10 or 20 meters!
At this moment, suddenly, from a distance above our heads, there was a sudden booming sound!
The crowd heard the sound almost at the same time, and they all stopped sliding. I had a gut feeling that my heart was beating hard, and I had a sense of foreboding, as if I had guessed what was going on!
The sound didn't stop from the beginning, and then I felt as if some dust was falling from above, and I felt a slight vibration throughout the cliff!
"Holy! It shouldn't be an earthquake! "I just heard the monkey suddenly bark below.
I glanced at the stone wall on the other side again, and the sense of foreboding in my heart grew stronger.
"That's not right!" I yelled, "It's the cliffs on both sides of the canyon that are merging!" ”
When I made my assumptions, I had a slight tingling in my scalp, and it was clear that the stone walls on both sides had merged together and were already starting to squeeze against each other, and at any moment a basin-sized gravel might fall!
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, including myself, and I couldn't believe it, but the facts in front of me made me have to believe that the stone wall opposite seemed to be closer to us!
"Hurry up and slide!" Cai Changsheng immediately said loudly: "The further down the canyon will become, the wider it will become, and before the canyon merges, we must reach the bottom of the cliff!" ”
As soon as Cai Changsheng's words fell, he went straight down, and everyone immediately reacted when they saw it, and then they all pedaled the cliff and slid down at full speed!
We had just slid down less than 20 meters, and suddenly we felt a softness under our feet, as if we had no power to borrow, and swung straight forward!
When we reacted, we found that the cliff on our side was gone directly from here, and there seemed to be a huge space in front of us, and we couldn't see the edge for a while!
We didn't have time to take a closer look, and we felt that the noise above our heads seemed to be more violent, so we had to continue to slide down at full speed, and when we looked down, we seemed to have seen a rough appearance at the bottom of the cliff.
The bottom of the cliff looked like a huge flat land, and it looked gray, and it was impossible to discern what it was for a while. It's just that the lights below are obviously much brighter than before, and it seems that we should be less than fifty meters from the bottom of the cliff!
Finally saw the bottom of the cliff, everyone also had some confidence in their hearts, I didn't feel a little excited in my heart, is it that as soon as I get to the bottom of the cliff, I will see Xinyi!
We slid down a little further, and suddenly, we heard the monkey at the bottom shout, "Holy! Below...... Is there a lake down there? ”
I was shocked when I heard this, and then I also looked down, only to see that under us, there was a pure black plane, that kind of flatness has almost reached the extreme, and it is not an exaggeration for monkeys to describe it as "lake", but I know that it is definitely not a lake!
There's still light coming from below! And, I think I've seen a few figures shaking underneath!
We went down, twenty meters, ten meters, five meters......
The light is still there, and the further down we go, the brighter it gets! The figure below is also becoming more and more visible!
Finally, I could see the pure black plane! Suddenly I felt a tingling sensation on my scalp!
It turned out to be a side that couldn't be seen...... Huge...... Huge mirrors!
From beginning to end, there was no one down there, and the light we could always see was actually our shadow all the time!
