Chapter 41: A Huge Project
Although Lu Liang is a water conservancy expert, he still went to the 003 as soon as he saw this situation, he felt that they should have found an ancient ruin, this kind of thing is not uncommon for people who do water conservancy projects. Ancient Chinese civilizations usually developed along waters, such as the Yellow River, such as the Yangtze River, and similar ruins have been found in the last few hundred years just in the collation of these two great rivers, and in line with the principle of protecting cultural relics, he suggested that the higher authorities should be notified to arrange a salvage excavation, because behind the tyrant, there are large areas of exposed wall tiles and artificial traces everywhere at the bottom of the lake.
However, his suggestion was denied, on the grounds that the water here was very likely to spread at any time, and the construction of the reservoir was ordered to be carried out without delay, and the suggestion given by 003 at that time was to carry out a thorough investigation: they arranged for someone to conduct a thorough investigation, and the construction of the reservoir could not be stopped, and the plan should continue to advance on both sides, and the location of the center of the lake temporarily mobilized about fifty people to form an excavation team.
"At that time, they deliberately chose to conceal it," Lu Liang said: "They did not report it to their superiors, which violated our work system, and in a completely closed environment, such information was like a pigeon that was tied up, unable to fly out, and I could only continue the mapping work that was originally assigned to me." ”
Cha Wenbin asked, "You didn't participate in the excavation?" ”
"Not at first," Lu Liang continued, "It was about a week later, 003 sent someone to find me, they still needed water conservancy experts, because in the rear of that tyrant they found ancient water conservancy facilities, which blocked their access to the site, and just like that, I and my eleven little brothers were involved in the subsequent incidents one after another." ”
At first, they found many remains in the mud, which were recovered and buried in a nearby ravine, and at most hundreds of human heads were sent over a day. And the remains here are not only human, but also livestock, there are cows, horses, and sheep, no one would have thought that the bottom of this lake is full of bones, and the small lake with beautiful mountains and rivers will only reveal its original appearance at this moment, this is a purgatory on earth. When he was in college, Lu Liang majored in water conservancy, but he minored in history and archaeology for a while, and Lu Liang, who knew a little about archaeology, judged that the dead livestock and people did not necessarily die in that long-haired disaster. Because these bones have a distinct feature, their bodies and hands have traces of being tied, using ox tendons as bindings, many of the remains are still bent and bowing when they sink into the lake, and there are no traces of fractures found on those bones.
At the time of the long-haired killing, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, where would this method be used, and judging from some of the clothes that were found that had not completely decayed, most of them were coarse linen. Livestock was the military food and meat that was in urgent need at that time, and it was even more impossible for Long Hair to throw a large number of them into the lake, so Lu Liang felt that these people were most likely used as priests.
And the most important thing is that the stone tablet, carried by the turtle, is engraved with dense characters, but no one can recognize this kind of writing, as if it were an alien script, neither an oracle bone inscription nor a later small seal.
Cha Wenbin asked: "What do those words look like, did you take pictures or rubbings at that time?" ”
"Yes, 003 has arranged for all of them, and these materials should be top secret files by now. Now that I think about it, I guess that their construction of the reservoir is just a pretense, and it is probably true that they want to enter that dungeon, since the entire bottom of the lake was exposed, 003's work has been focused on the lake, and a week later I joined their team. ”
The weather was also very good at that time, some of the silt in the lake was like a freshly dried rice field, and the cracked bottom of the lake was exposed with large pieces of green bricks, which was the first time Lu Liang had close contact with this mysterious place. There were also two small water outlets in the nostrils of the tyrant, and a gurgling stream of clear water came out of it from time to time, as if it was crying.
There was a place surrounded by tents directly behind less than twenty meters away from Baxia, and when he opened the curtain and went in, Lu Liang found that many bricks had been cleaned up, and there was a step to go down, and the water from here kept pouring down, and the water could only go down the steps less than two meters before the water, and several pumping machines were working hard, 003 said that his task was to get rid of the stagnant water.
In addition to using the method of dredging to remove the stagnant water, there is also blockage, which goes back to the previous problem, he must find the nearby underground river. It was a huge project, and 003 gave him only a week, and all of his disciples were asked to participate in this urgent mission, and the hydraulic scholar finally lived up to 003's expectations, and he found a miracle a hundred meters north of the center of the lake!
By measuring the resistivity of the underground, Lu Liang successfully determined the approximate location on the third day, which is just his conjecture, because it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, there are as many as a dozen ravines, in fact, there may be underground hidden rivers in each place, and what he has to do is to find the main river, just a tributary is intercepted and it will not play any role at all.
With the support of scientific data, 003 mobilized a large number of engineering personnel, because they were building a reservoir, so they had a large number of blasting equipment in their hands, and vertical blasting was the strength of these people. Soon, under the tremendous power of several tons of explosives, a deep pit was blown out of the ground, and in the deep pit there was a huge sound of water flowing, and someone went down vertically along the sling rope and saw the underground dark river, whose water level was only less than five meters below the surface!
Then there was the diversion, the incessant blasting and the incessant excavation, to which almost all the labor was put into it......
"This is what you see the current Merlin Reservoir look like, the current area and direction of the reservoir were completed by changing the river at that time, the amount of water in the underground river is beyond our imagination, and the progress of the project has been repeatedly retreated and expanded, and things have reached an irreversible situation at that point, 003 will take the horn to patrol and shout back and forth on the embankment tomorrow, and all the manual work overtime. The explosives were tearing the ground like they didn't want money, more and more huge bricks were blown into powder, and even some stone terracotta warriors and horses appeared, and more and more evidence showed that this was a sabotage, and of course you will never see all this now, because it will be buried under the water forever. ”
"The day when the West Lake is still dry," Cha Wenbin said, "I have been to the Molin Reservoir, and the area is not very large, so it may not be difficult to empty it." ”
"You are wrong," said Lu Liang, "they asked me to find all the dark rivers in the vicinity, and finally those dark rivers will be gathered together and re-injected into the current reservoir, and it is not impossible to empty it, but it will cost three times more than our labor at that time." ”
"Old man, you are wrong." At this time, Li An said on the side: "If it were me, I wouldn't be so stupid, I just blew up that dam, and I would have been a hundred." ”
"What did you say?" Lu Liang was suddenly made a little nervous by his words, and stood up as if he was nervous.
"I said that if I blew up that dam, just like when Jiang blew up the gap in the Yellow River, the Yellow River can be diverted, not to mention a small reservoir in the mountains." Li An's words blurted out a little, he just thought of a countermeasure, but this sentence seemed to make Lu Liang a little restless, and he muttered vigorously: "You can't blow it up, you must not blow it ......up."
"Mr. Lu, don't listen to his nonsense, you continue, what happened after you successfully blocked the river?"
"Later ......"
Later, the water level did drop, but because of the change of the river channel, more entrances appeared one after another, and this was really a building complex, and in the place where Luliang first chose to blast, when people found that the water was dry, a huge devil shape appeared below.
The devil was armed with a great axe, which was carved into a whole stone cliff, and the outline of it could still be discerned after a long period of water, and the underground river gushed out from the mouth of the ghost, and it was a natural cave with a terrifying appearance.
"It's not much smaller than the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan, and even if it is a relief carving, it will take a lot of manpower, and it is hard to imagine how the ancients did it, and they may have done the same interception work before the completion of the project. And at that time, everyone started to go crazy, and the underground world was mysterious and attractive, but it made us return to nothing. In fact, I later learned that after going down, it was just an entrance, and it was like a labyrinth, winding around, and the walls were carved with some horrible frescoes, and from the first mural at the main entrance, the message could be read that we trespassers would be punished by the devil. ”
"But the mural didn't frighten you." Cha Wenbin said: "You still went in, and then found something?" ”
"The first three days after entering the road were detours, and people kept starting to go missing," Lu Liang recalled: "At that time, because there were too many forks in the road, there were three or five people in a small team, some of the teams returned within the specified time, and some of the teams never came out." The number of people is decreasing every day, but it is never known where the missing people have gone. By the fifth day, the number of missing people alone had reached more than forty, and 003 began to be anxious, but this was only the beginning, and no one expected that a greater disaster was waiting for us......"
