Chapter 704: The Extra Ball
"Even if this device is set up more reasonably, but at a distance of more than 200 meters, is it possible to launch such a long rope to the opposite side?"
Chen Ziyang felt that this was a bit unreasonable, the rope of more than 200 meters was very heavy, not to mention that after the rope was launched, it would have to cross such a long distance, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to do.
Just when Chen Ziyang was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a loud "bang", and the three members of Liu Cong's team had already activated the rope launch device.
With a loud "bang", it was as if the ground of the entire underground space shook, and everyone felt that the ground suddenly trembled. After a flash of dazzling red light, the missile-like object placed at the front of the launcher suddenly rushed forward.
The missile-like thing that had been placed at the front of the black barrel made a graceful arc, and a white smoke erupted from the tail, leaving a semicircular arc of white smoke in the air, flying directly towards the crack below the opposite side.
With this loud bang, Liu Cong's three subordinates, who had activated the firing device, suddenly fell backwards, and all three of them fell backwards with their backs facing the sky at the same time. Obviously, the force of this launch was so strong that all three of them were pressed directly to the ground by the air flow generated by the launch.
The warhead-like thing seemed to have eyes, and it flew towards the crack on the opposite side. The moment the warhead came into contact with the ground of the opposite crack, the warhead pierced deep into the rock wall below the opposite crack.
This loud bang shook everyone's heads, and they didn't know what was going on, and when Chen Ziyang reacted, shook his head, and sobered himself up, he saw that half of the warhead had pierced deep into the ground of the opposite crack.
The long rope tied to the back of the warhead bent downward under gravity, as if it was about to break off and fall under the deep well, into the deep pool.
And it was at this time that the downward trend of the rope was suddenly stopped. It turned out that the other end of the rope was tied with a large dead knot, which was stuck directly behind the launcher.
So far, the rope has been a very successful launch, with one end of the rope tied to the warhead and plunged deep into the ground in the opposite crack, while the other end of the rope is firmly stuck behind the launcher.
Seeing this result, Chen Ziyang admired Liu Cong's three subordinates. Whether it was from the length of the rope or the arc of the bullet, the three team members calculated with great accuracy.
And that warhead should not be an ordinary warhead, in addition to having extremely strong penetrating power, when the warhead pierced under the ground in the opposite crack, it should have touched some kind of device, and there should be some barb-like things sticking out of the warhead, causing the warhead to be firmly stuck under the ground in the opposite crack.
Even if the three members of Liu Cong's team were desperately pulling the remaining rope, the bullet did not move at all, and it was embedded very firmly.
With the pull of the three team members, the launcher that had been placed on the ground before was also motionless, and the device was also extremely stable.
When the three team members completely straightened the rope and fixed the rope, a solid bridge of ropes was built between two cracks that spanned more than 200 meters wide.
"Hmph, these three juniors, the level is still a little worse, otherwise they wouldn't have pulled such a long rope backwards, which obviously proves that these three people have not calculated the distance between the two sufficiently." Seeing the actions of these three people, Chen Benzhong made such a comment.
This hundred-year-old man said these words that surprised other people, especially the three Chen Ziyang brothers.
The fact that this rope could be launched to the opposite side and firmly embedded in the ground on the opposite side had already made the three of them feel very surprised, and they didn't expect Chen Benzhong to be so dissatisfied with this result.
From this point, the three brothers Chen Ziyang roughly understood Chen Benzhong's methods. It is no wonder that this old man was able to create such a large empire and have such a large organization, and in terms of tomb robbing alone, I am afraid that no one can compare with them.
Hearing Chen Benzhong's words, the cheeks of the three team members instantly turned red, and it seemed that these three people had felt very guilty and embarrassed about their little mistake.
"Okay, I'm not a nitpicker, since the goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter if the process is a little lacking, you three don't take it too seriously." Chen Benzhong persuaded the three team members while carefully looking at the straightened rope.
"I'm going to go, I'm not satisfied, and he dares to say that it's not nitpicking?" Yang Lei exclaimed while looking at Chen Ziyang and Umbrella Shishuai beside him.
On the faces of the other two people, there were also expressions of disbelief. Needless to say, the laser rangefinder alone can calculate the length of this rope and the angle of launch so accurately, this means is no longer something that three people can do.
But such a feat is still full of flaws in Chen Benzhong's eyes, and the three team members who have done this thing are still full of shame, which is an unacceptable thing no matter how you look at it.
"Okay, old man, the juniors are still young and inexperienced after all, so don't be too sarcastic about them." After saying this, Chen Sanjin took the lead in moving. He grabbed the straightened rope with the steel glove in his hand, and slid straight down by the angle of the rope and the lubrication of the glove.
"......" Chen Sanjin's steel gloves rubbed against the rope, making a hissing sound, and Chen Sanjin himself was like a missile that had been launched before, sliding faster and faster along the rope, and after a while, he had already reached the crack on the opposite side.
Because the speed of the slide was too fast, when he reached the opposite crack, Chen Sanjin let go of his hand holding the rope, and rolled forward, sticking to the ground of the opposite crack, to dissolve the force of the forward rush.
Don't look at Chen Sanjin is already in his 60s, this person's body coordination is very strong, after rolling forward for a distance of three or five meters, he has already unloaded the force of the forward rush, stood up from the ground, and looked around vigilantly.
After seeing that there was no mechanism on the opposite side, and that Chen Sanjin was safe and sound when he arrived on the opposite side, the rest of the people in the team were relieved, so they lined up and slid to the opposite side one by one along the rope bridge that had been built, and with the help of various tools in their hands.
After a while, the rest of the merfolk crossed the rope bridge and reached the crack on the opposite side.
"Old Man Chen, what should I do with this rope?" The last member of the team who had passed the rope bridge turned around and asked.
"This rope doesn't need to be moved, in case there is no path to leave in front, this rope bridge can also be used as a means for us to evacuate, don't break it, the situation ahead is unclear, it's always good to leave an extra back road." Ben Zhong said as he carefully looked at the section of the city wall in front of him.
The pattern on this section of the city wall is very unique, it looks like a pattern formed by the splicing of huge stone bricks, but when you look closely, it is different.
The stone bricks stacked together are scattered, leaving gaps in a different way than normal brick walls, and the entire stone wall extends upwards to the top of the crack.
The entire wall sealed the space behind the crack, leaving only a passage for a single person on either side. These two passages are dark and very narrow, giving people a very eerie feeling.
It was only when they came closer that they realized the grandeur of this section of the wall. Behind this crack was an even larger space, and this section of the wall-like thing stretched forward along the edge of the crack space, as if it were boundless.
When they entered the Taoist holy land before, Chen Ziyang and the others saw the scale of that underground city, compared to that time, this section of the city wall in front of them was not too much, and within the range of 200 meters irradiated by the flashlight beam, this section of the city wall had no end at all.
After taking out the compass again and checking the direction, Chen Benzhong nodded, then pointed to the side of the city wall, and said to the others: "If my guess is not wrong, it should be in this direction."
After entering here, we made a big circle, but the general direction is still not deviated, this direction is the center of the convergence of the four mountain ranges, and it should be the entrance to this dragon vein dungeon. ”
After having a specific direction to go, a dozen people formed a long line, and one person followed one person forward.
In the process of moving forward, Chen Benzhong looked down from time to time to check the lampshade like an oil lamp hanging from his waist, and in the center of this lampshade was the lit dog oil candle.
The flame of the dog oil candle kept beating, flickering on and off. Although the flame of the candle is very unstable, the light of the candle flame is still bright yellow and has not turned green, which proves that in this underground space, the carbon dioxide content is still relatively low, which will not affect the danger of everyone's life, which makes the people in the team feel a lot more relieved.
This channel is a one-way line, which can only go forward in this direction, and there are no other forks. And with the city wall on one side and the hard stone wall on the other, there is no mechanism to prevent in this passage, so the team is moving very fast.
About an hour later, according to the speed of the team, they had already traveled about five kilometers, and at this moment, there was darkness in front of them, and it was obvious that another underground space had appeared.
And the scale of this underground space is obviously much smaller, just like a small square, and in a short time, a dozen people in the team have arrived here, and they have gathered the flashlight beams in their hands together and shone forward.
On this seemingly endless wall, a huge steel gate appeared. The bottom of the gate was level with the ground, and the top was close to the top of the crack, and above this gate, there were some stone bricks that sealed the gap above the gate.
Seeing the small square in front of the gate, as well as this magnificent gate, everyone knew that this should be the entrance to the Dragon Vein Underground Palace.
This gate is very well-cast, and it looks like the left and right doors are closed together, giving it an unusually thick feeling. There are no knockers on the gate, and there is nothing that looks like it can open the gate, the only thing that stands out is that in the very center of the gate there is a swastika pattern formed by four dragons coming together.
The front gate is almost five meters high, and the swastika pattern composed of the four dragons occupies half the height of the gate, which is almost two meters large.
Because he was afraid that there was something hidden on this gate, Chen Benzhong did not rashly arrange for personnel to come forward to check, he just stood in the distance, carefully checking through the flashlight beams in everyone's hands.
Chen Ziyang was very familiar with this pattern, he had seen it more than once, so after seeing this "swastika" pattern on the gate at first glance, he felt a little awkward, as if this pattern was a little different from the ones he had seen before.
After carefully examining it for a while, Chen Ziyang understood the reason for this awkward feeling in his heart, it turned out that in the center of the gathering of these four dragons, there was something like a ball.
When Chen Ziyang saw the "swastika" pattern composed of these four dragons before, there was a blank piece in the center of the four dragons, and there was no object in the shape of a ball like a dragon ball.
After discovering this abnormal place, Chen Ziyang slowly stepped forward and approached the gate.
"Hey, you ......" Seeing Chen Ziyang's strange behavior, Liu Cong was afraid that Chen Ziyang would touch some organs, so he hurriedly reminded him, but before Liu Cong could finish his words, he was covered by a hand in his mouth.
After rolling his eyeballs, Liu Cong saw that the person who prevented him from speaking to remind Chen Ziyang was Chen Benzhong, and it seemed that Chen Benzhong didn't want his words to disturb Chen Ziyang, so Liu Cong didn't force it, nodded in the direction of Chen Benzhong, and slowly pushed away the hand covering his mouth.
Chen Ziyang, who was walking forward slowly, didn't seem to notice what was happening behind him, and when he came to the front of this gate, he kept staring at the round ball in the center of the four dragons.
Just as Chen Ziyang was thinking about what was wrong with this round ball, he suddenly heard a surprised shout from behind him.
