Chapter 54: Each Shows His Magical Powers (Part II)
"Good!"
Long Yuandong nodded, stretched out his palm to stick to the metal ball, closed his eyes and probed carefully, then opened his eyes, picked up a stone, and drew a three-dimensional geometric figure on the iron plate, which was the general outline of the inside of the elevator.
He was originally an engineer soldier, and drawing is also one of the basic military qualities, so the graphics are drawn in clear layers and concise. Halfway through the painting, he suddenly shook his head, seemed to have forgotten something, reattached to the metal ball, and continued to explore. After repeating this, the details of the structure were gradually perfected.
Elevators are large gravity equipment, although the structure is complex, but each structural piece, because it must withstand considerable mechanical force, is not small, so even without professional drawing tools, it can still barely be drawn.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Mu Yuan was engrossed in the structural diagram: "No, what is the purpose of this? How is it possible for the torque to pass through this shaft? There must be a gear! And here, why are there three shrapnel? It stands to reason that it should be five! Is there one less hole drawn on the I-shaped crutch? Otherwise, how can the eliminator shrink back?"
As the structural diagram was perfected, he also began to mumble to himself, and for a moment his mouth suddenly dawned on him, and for a while his brows were furrowed, and he shook his head in question.
"I'm sorry, there are too many parts, and the painting is missing. I'll make up for it!" Long Yuandong heard the doubts, so he went to probe the details mentioned by Mu Yuan, and found that most of the time he really drew it wrong.
The two complemented each other and gradually perfected the drawings.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Everyone saw that Mu Yuan seemed to be very knowledgeable, and he cooperated with Long Yuandong very tacitly, and it was only a matter of time before they wanted to open the passage. Although I was anxious to wait, I was able to endure it.
There are many good things, and it is impossible for everything to be smooth sailing.
"That's it!"
Mu Yuan suddenly danced with his hands and said excitedly: "No need to paint! I know how to open it! You do what I said, third on the left, fourth on the right, press two, one up, half a pull down, sixteen on the left, seven on the right!"
"Tick!"
With a slight sound of turning the machine, the iron plate of the passage that was tightly sealed suddenly popped up half an inch. Mu Yuan found a recess and lightly buckled it, and the iron plate flipped downward, revealing a metal hanging basket two meters square.
"That's it?"
He Dali looked at it in a big way: "There is an iron basket inside." It looks a little old, isn't it? The passage is so old, the strategic ship inside can't be a fishing boat, right?"
Everyone muttered for a while, thinking that what He Fat Man said really made some sense. If you go to great lengths to find a strategic ship, it turns out to be just an old fishing boat, but it's a bit laughable.
"Is it a fishing boat, can you just go in and have a look?" Xiao Meng Ge raised his foot and stepped on the edge of the passage, ready to jump into the hanging basket.
"Wait!"
Jiang Mantian hurriedly stopped: "The situation inside is unknown, don't risk yourself." We only have three groups here now, more than 40 people, I think it is like this, it is still early in the sky, Mo Fei is familiar with the road, take a group, and invite Principal Xu, Huo Jinniu, Xu Yue, Zhang Ziwu, Shi Buwait and others to come over. I heard that there is a Korean student named Park Hye-eun, and the martial spirit is a chameleon lizard, and I guess she should be emotional, so I also invited her. ”
"No problem!" Mo Fei replied briskly: "We're going to go quickly, and we'll come back with a large group of people, but it's not so fast, at least until night!"
"Hmm!" Jiang Mantian nodded: "Don't be in a hurry, pay attention to safety on the road!"
After Mo Fei and the others left, Jiang Mantian continued: "Lu Yan, you light a torch in the hanging basket, then put it down, and take a look at the situation below. ”
Lu Yan did according to the plan.
Mu Yuan started the mechanism, and the hanging basket containing the torch fell at a uniform speed, but he saw that it was only a dark passage around him, and he didn't know how long it had fallen, and there was no change.
He Dali said irritably: "This passage is too deep! It is deeper than the coal mine, and it feels very unreliable! Even if there is a strategic ship underneath, it is not much bigger!"
At the same time as He vigorously complained, Lu Yan let out a "huh", and everyone looked closely, and the flames that were burning straight suddenly swayed from side to side, as if they were blown by the wind. This indicates that there is flowing air underneath, and it also indicates that the elevator is located at the top of the open space underneath.
The elevator continued to fall, and metal frames, spiral ladders and other settings gradually appeared around it, but they were too far away to be seen.
After waiting for a long time, the torch suddenly flashed and went out.
"Why is it extinguished? Is there no oxygen underneath?" said Brother Meng urgently.
"No, the torch is gone. "Lu Yan's perception of fire is even greater than that of ordinary people, although it is far away, and the torch is only a small dot at best, he can still feel the state inside.
As soon as the elevator stopped falling, Jiang Mantian had already estimated the height of the underground space and the distance between the top of the underground space and the ground: "According to preliminary calculations, the height of the underground space is about 280 meters, and the thickness of the ground is about 510 meters. The total height of the lift is 790 metres. With such a large space, even if it is a fishing boat, it is not very small. In order to prevent accidents, we will wait for Principal Xu and them to come over, and then find a way to go down in batches. ”
Hearing his explanation, He Dali suddenly became excited, and said: "It's so boring to wait like this, why don't I go down and have a look first!"
Jiang Mantian thought for a while and said, "You go down alone, I don't worry, let Brother Xiao Meng go down with you!"
The two of them happily stepped into the hanging basket, shouting, and there were echoes from under the passage.
It's getting dark.
The cold wind swept through the mouth of the ice well, sending out a shrill whistling. It was getting colder and colder as it approached evening.
Everyone took out dry food to replenish their energy.
When He Dali and the two came up, everyone asked, "How do you feel about going down the well?"
"It's exciting!"
He vigorously wiped his eyes and said, "It's just that it's too dark down there, and I can't see anything." Sitting in it, I almost fell asleep!"
"Calculating the time, Mo Fei and they should arrive at the base. Let's take advantage of this time to take a break, wait for Principal Xu and them to come over, and then move on to the next step. Long Yuandong knew that everyone was itching, but in order to prevent chaos from happening at a critical moment, he made up his mind and resolutely refused to let everyone act without authorization.
Everyone slept until midnight, and was panicking with cold, when they heard the noise of people and the light of the fire, so they rushed to climb up to the mouth of the ice well, and shouted: "Here!
"There!" Xu Shuqing raised his eyebrows. Finding a strategic ship means that the fate of mankind will be completely changed from now on! The dawn of the future is just ahead!
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but speed up a little faster.
The two divisions met, and after some discussion, Jiang Mantian and Xu Shuqing decided that Long Yuandong, Lu Yan and others would take the lead in going down the well, leading the way in front, and arranging torches for lighting. Jiang Mantian led a few commandos, the second group went down, and then Xu Shuqing.
Because it takes too long to go up and down the well, and there is a limit on the number of people who can go up and down at any one time, most people can only stay at the mouth of the well to protect the Dharma for those who go down the well.
When the river went to the underground space, I saw the mist steaming in mid-air, and the fire was faint, and I couldn't see anything.
The torches lit by Lu Yan and the others had limited light, illuminating the entire space in a blurry light.
The elevator slowly descends to the bottom of the well.
When you walk out, you can see huge metal pillars and scaffolding everywhere, like a workshop.
Long Yuandong greeted him and said: "There is a lot of space inside, there is a large submarine, more than ten meters high, I feel that there is no problem in accommodating hundreds of people." But we have not yet found the entrance to the submarine and sent four people to explore the way. Do you think we're waiting for Chairman Xu to join us, or are we going to go now?"
"Wait for him. Without light, the past is in vain. Jiang Mantian picked up a torch and looked around carefully.
