Chapter 380: Combined Luoyang Shovel
The reason why Chen Ziyang stopped his excavation operation halfway after he realized that the land below the villa was a corpse breeding ground was because of the particularity of the soil in the corpse raising area.
To put it simply, a corpse rearing ground is a land with very little water in the soil, which is a special soil formed under the influence of a special geographical environment and rainfall and other comprehensive factors. There is a more troublesome part of the corpse raising ground, that is, this kind of soil is very afraid of water, once enough water enters the soil of the corpse raising ground, it is very easy to collapse.
It's like building a castle with sand on the beach by the sea, if you just put the sand castle there, the sand castle can exist for a long time, even if the sea breeze blows, the sand castle can basically keep its original shape. But when it comes into contact with water, the sandcastle collapses very easily.
The special structure of the sand grains on the beach is similar to that of the soil in the hoarching ground, there are many pores between the grains, but once these voids are filled with water, the fine sand and water will mix together, and the sand and gravel will bind more tightly, expelling the air between the gravel gaps, thus forming an extremely strong suction. So once a small amount of water is poured into the bottom of the sandcastle, the sandcastle will collapse quickly under the action of this suction.
The reason why the swamp can make people sink deep in the mud is that the effect of this suction force is that there is a large amount of this fine sand that has been soaked in water all year round, so there are almost no gaps in the fine sand, and after the people's legs are inserted into this sand and mud, this extremely strong suction will suck the people's legs firmly in the mud and sand, and there is no way to pull out the legs even with great strength.
Chen Ziyang knew this, so he stopped what he was doing after it was now a corpse breeding ground, because Lao Lu had told him before that since the diamond fell into the depths of the earth, a large amount of water gushed out from the depths of the earth, and as soon as this water entered the tomb, the entire tomb began to collapse.
When Chen Ziyang heard this before, he thought that Lao Lu was exaggerating, but after entering some water, it was impossible for this tomb to collapse so quickly. It may be that the tomb was about to collapse, and the tomb was flooded, which only accelerated the process.
Or maybe the large amount of water that suddenly appeared in the tomb at that time made Lao Lu nervous and had a delusion, but now that I think about it, what Lao Lu said should be the truth.
Once the soil of the corpse field encounters a large amount of water, it will collapse as quickly as a sandcastle on the seashore meets seawater. Now Chen Ziyang's biggest worry is that the entire catacombs have completely collapsed. If that's the case, it's useless to dig deeper, so he urgently needs tools to explore the structure of the underground soil to see if the tomb still exists, and if it has completely collapsed.
If you want to talk about the tool for direct exploration of soil structure, then it must be the Luoyang shovel. Chen Ziyang also thought about the Luoyang shovel before, and he didn't expect that he would need to apply this tool so soon.
But Luoyang shovel is not an antique, you can't buy it on the market at all, if you make it yourself, Chen Ziyang is afraid that he doesn't have that level, so he can only ask for help.
If you want to buy these strange things, Chen Ziyang can only ask for one person, that is Wang Lele, after all, Wang Lele's family runs an auction house, Wang Chuan has friends with many tomb robbers, and there are some ways to buy them, especially to buy these things, Wang Lele should be able to help.
found an Internet café, and Chen Ziyang opened a video with Wang Lele. Wang Lele on the other side of the screen straightened his face after seeing Chen Ziyang, with an angry face, Chen Ziyang didn't know when he offended this woman, it looked like the two of them had a deep hatred.
"I haven't seen you for half a year, why do you look like you've gained a lot of weight, what's wrong with your face? Why does it look dark in some places? Did you not wash your face or did you have spots on your face? Looking at Wang Lele on the other side of the screen, Chen Ziyang asked strangely.
"You didn't wash your face, you are embarrassed to say, it's not all because of you, it's all your sins, I made you angry." Listening to Wang Lele's angry words, Chen Ziyang couldn't figure it out, but now is not the time to coax a woman, after all, he may be followed now, so it's better to hurry up and finish the matter here.
So Chen Ziyang told Wang Lele about his request for a Luoyang shovel, and asked her if she had any way to help herself get one. Hearing that Chen Ziyang needed this kind of thing, Wang Lele was very strange.
Chen Ziyang was rescued from prison, and it has only been eight or nine months now, and this Chen Ziyang has run to Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi, and he doesn't know what he wants to do.
After Chen Ziyang explained, Wang Lele knew that he was doing it for Lao Lu. Chen Ziyang told Wang Lele about Lao Lu, and she also agreed with Chen Ziyang's practice of repaying kindness, after all, if there was no Lao Lu, it was likely that Chen Ziyang would have gone crazy in prison.
And Lao Lu asked Chen Ziyang about it, Wang Lele also knew that this matter was Lao Lu's only last wish, and it was also his lifelong regret, so after learning that Chen Ziyang came here to fulfill Lao Lu's last wish and return Lao Lu's favor, Wang Lele also changed her attitude.
"Don't forget that you were imprisoned for more than a year, it was really a disaster, you still have to pay more attention to safety, don't run around. When this is over, you should go home and stay well, after all, you can't get your life back, and I don't want you to be put in prison again, or have some other mistakes.
I will help you contact Luoyang shovel, there is a friend of my father in Xi'an, he is a capable person, he can help you get anything you want, but the price will be slightly higher, but I asked my father to call him, rushing my father's face, or let you have less blood. ”
Seeing that the serious matter has been resolved, Chen Ziyang also felt the love in Wang Lele's words, although this woman is always full of resentment when she sees herself recently, or when she calls herself, Chen Ziyang knows that Wang Lele still cares about him very much, so he wants to spend the rest of his time caring about Wang Lele, after all, he hasn't seen each other for so long, but Wang Lele doesn't appreciate his affection, and after scolding Chen Ziyang again, Wang Lele turned off the video.
Now Chen Ziyang is a little afraid of this aunt, her attitude is really a June day, and the child's face will change when she says it. It is simply inexplicable to scold yourself for a while, care about yourself for a while, and then scold yourself again.
Although Wang Lele seems to be very angry with Chen Ziyang on the surface, Wang Lele still handled the Luoyang shovel quickly. Not long after, Chen Ziyang received a call from the person who sold the Luoyang shovel.
The seller inquired in detail about the shape and approximate length of the Luoyang shovel that Chen Ziyang needed, and even hoped to get information about the terrain and soil of the place where the Luoyang shovel was used from Chen Ziyang.
After all, after so many years of evolution, Luoyang shovels also have many styles, many different uses, suitable for different terrains and different soils, so it is necessary to know these detailed information to help Chen Ziyang buy Luoyang shovels.
After Chen Ziyang and the seller negotiated all the details, the seller asked him to wait patiently for a few days, because these requirements put forward by Chen Ziyang are somewhat niche, so the seller needs to improve his existing Luoyang shovel, which will take about a few days, plus it will take time to mail it from Xi'an to Chen Ziyang, so it will be able to arrive after three or four days.
In the past few days, Chen Ziyang has not been idle, he has visited almost all the wood processing factories in the city, hoping to buy a batch of thinner but stronger planks.
After the soil in the corpse field has been soaked in water, even if the water recedes, the remaining soil is very easy to collapse, so he needs this kind of plank to reinforce the hole dug.
According to Chen Ziyang's estimate, the depth of this mausoleum should be about ten meters, so he needs a lot of planks to reinforce it. If the planks are too heavy, it is likely that you will not be able to carry enough wood at one time, and it will be time-consuming and laborious to dig holes, and you will need to transport them back and forth several times.
But if the plank is relatively thin, it is difficult to play a role in resisting compression, so the kind of plank that Chen Ziyang wants is really hard to find. But thanks to his efforts, he finally found a plank that met his requirements. Everything is ready at this time, and the rest is waiting for Luoyang to shovel.
A few days later, Chen Ziyang received a custom-made Luoyang shovel, looking at this new set of combined Luoyang shovels, he really couldn't put it down. Unexpectedly, the person Wang Lele was looking for could not only get this kind of thing, but also be able to shovel Luoyang so exquisitely, where is this a set of tools for exploring tombs, this is clearly a set of works of art.
In the box containing the combined Luoyang shovel, there was also a note, which was left by the seller, which said that if Chen Ziyang could get something good and was ready to make a move, he must say hello to him first, and he would give Chen Ziyang a good price.
Seeing this note, Chen Ziyang smiled, after all, the Luoyang shovel has only one purpose, what is the use of buying this kind of thing, everyone tacitly understands it, and most of the friends Wang Chuan knows have something to do with tomb robbing, the current antique collection market is very hot, and it is impossible to collect good things at a low price and sell them at a high price, after all, no one is a fool.
Therefore, most of the auction houses nowadays have dealings with people in the business of eating stinks, which seems to be a mutually beneficial thing. Tomb robbers can sell stolen goods, and at the same time, people who are engaged in buying and selling antiques can also buy antiques at a relatively low price, Chen Ziyang thought that it seemed that this person who sold Luoyang shovels regarded himself as a full-time tomb robber.
Looking at this note, Chen Ziyang recalled that Lao Lu had told him before that when Lao Lu and the others entered the tomb, the contents of the tomb had been collected, so it seemed that the expectations of the person who sold the Luoyang shovel were about to be disappointed, and it was unlikely that he would get anything out of that tomb, and even the diamond might have been taken away after Lao Lu.
Now that the Luoyang shovel is in place, the following things should contact Li Bojian. Originally, Chen Ziyang wanted to wait for himself to find the location of the tomb and build the robbery hole, and then let Li Bojian go down with him, after all, this robbery hole cannot be completed in a day or two.
But Li Bojian refused to live or die, and Li Bojian said that if Chen Ziyang didn't take her with him when he went to the villa once, even if it was only once, Li Bojian would not give Chen Ziyang those ID cards in her hand.
With Li Bojian's threat, in desperation, Chen Ziyang had no choice but to take Li Bojian, pull up the Luoyang shovel and the wooden planks he bought, and drove to the villa for the second time.
Because he suspected that the two of them had been followed before, Chen Ziyang also played a trick. When the car was about to drive to the location of the villa, Chen Ziyang got out of the car to relieve himself, and in his small relief, Chen Ziyang hid a miniature camera with its own power supply in the grass pile on the side of the road.
If someone was actually following them, the camera would have captured the tracker's vehicle, as there was only one way to the lodge, and they couldn't have flown through the sky.
With the help of the camera, Chen Ziyang can verify his previous guess that he was being followed, and even if someone is really following him, he can know the identities of these people.
After arriving at the villa for the second time, Chen Ziyang began his grave visit. Because a large pit more than three meters deep had been dug before, the first place selected by Chen Ziyang to go down to Luoyang shovel was the bottom of that big pit.
The set of Luoyang shovels that Chen Ziyang got is a combined type and is divided into many parts. The first part is the shovel head of the Luoyang shovel, which is a hollow special steel pipe more than one meter long, and the first half of the steel pipe seems to have been cut off, becoming a semi-circular sharp shovel head. There is a thread at the base of this shovel head, which can be connected to another steel pipe.
When used, first hammer the shovel head into the soil, and then connect the second steel pipe, and then smash down, when the second steel pipe is about to sink into the soil, and then screw on the third steel pipe, all the steel pipes have threads at both ends can be connected to each other, and all the steel pipes are hollow.
In this case, when the steel pipes are smashed into the soil, the soil at the steel pipes will be left in the pipe body. If the person under the shovel thinks that the depth is enough, he can smash the steel pipes outward section by section, and finally bring out all the soil in the entire steel pipe.
This combined Luoyang shovel is very convenient, the length of each section of the steel pipe is about one meter, dozens of steel pipes combined, the length of the Luoyang shovel can even reach dozens of meters long, it should be able to fully meet their own needs, and this combined Luoyang shovel can be disassembled to carry, very convenient.
Looking at this set of exquisite tools, Chen Ziyang thought that society was unfolding in the era of progress, and he couldn't imagine that even the Luoyang shovel had evolved into this.
