Chapter 46 / Moving the Mountain
Qin Xiao's judgment was not wrong. The pirate fleet's supply ships and even reinforcement fleets appeared.
From the perspective of the derrick in the Centipede Mountains, the appearance of the pirate fleet has not changed, and there are still several small ships guarding the giant ship in the middle. But the lights on the ship were getting brighter and brighter, and they continued all night. This means that the subsequent reinforcement fleet has increased the storage capacity of the main pirate ship, and the damaged lights have been gradually repaired. This requires a certain amount of manpower and material resources.
Qin Xiao and Zuo Yintang took turns observing the movements of the pirate fleet. The worries in my heart are growing day by day, but I can't do anything.
The pirate reinforcements arrived, but none of the miners increased. Dozens of people can no longer withstand the next wave of pirates. It seems that they can only step up their efforts to urge the miners who dig the passage to make more efforts to prepare the way out before the pirates attack.
However, Qin Xiao and Zuo Yintang were unwilling. From discovery to excavation, to investigation and mining, the Centipede Mountains have worked tirelessly. Now that it's so fruitful, it's all about to be thrown to the pirates. It is conceivable that the pirates rushed into the mines, used all their manpower and material resources to loot the mines, and even stationed them here, constantly transporting ore to the base through the fleet. Even if Qin Xiao's mining team made a comeback and drove away the pirates. But pirates don't just pat themselves on the butt and walk away, they will try to blow up the crypt completely, and if they can't get it, no one else will want to get their hands on it.
Qin Xiao and Zuo Yintang frowned. Others were aware of the gravity of the situation, and for a moment, the air in the crypt became even more dreary. In the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Daoist Cha Cha Zhi and Lu Qingqiu. It seems that this pair of immortal elders and immortals will definitely have a way to get out of trouble.
Cha Cha Chi smiled bitterly. Lu Qingqiu has been subjected to a suicide attack by pirates, and now he has recuperated as before. A confident smile can be seen on the white face again.
Zuo Yintang couldn't help it, and said: "Lu Xiangu doesn't leave the house, knows the world's affairs, doesn't look at it, and sits and watches the way of heaven." But what are the tricks, make one or two clear. ”
Lu Qingqiu laughed and said, "What kind of immortal Gu am I, and what kind of heavenly reincarnation do I know." I am also a Taoist disciple who is not confused, not trapped in love, not afraid of the future, and does not remember the past. ”
Zuo Yintang said: "Immortal Gu is humble. If you want to know the three thousand realms, you must go up to the eight hundred peaks. What can the fairy girl do, don't hide your secrets. ”
Lu Qingqiu said: "Alas, in fact, if you ask me what to do, it is better to ask those pirates." ”
Zuo Yintang frowned and said, "Ask the pirates? ”
Lu Qingqiu said: "That's right. Don't you think that many of the pirates' methods, although whimsical, are also quite meritorious? ”
Qin Xiao on the side listened to Lu Qingqiu's words, and his heart was touched. Indeed, the pirates were insanely cruel and uninhibited. But a lot of their DIY creations are really commendable. First of all, there are the huge ice blades at the bottom of the pirate ship, which is really a clever imagination. Then there are the ice bombs, these ice bombs are used in the ice and snow assault, which is simply a fan of fire, and the result is twice the result with half the effort. However, is that what Lu Qingqiu is referring to? How do skates and ice bombs help the current plight of the mining team?
Yizhang Hong Jia Saihua spoke: "If you want me to say, before we retreat, we will fill the crypt with explosives, blow it up and one Buddha will be born, and the second Buddha will ascend to heaven." If we don't dig the mines, the pirates won't get it. ”
Chen Liqing smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is ruthless enough, but unfortunately the gains outweigh the losses." We've destroyed the crypt, and the pirates can go and loot other treasures. The world is so big that there are no surprises, and they don't lack goals. However, when we develop a treasure, it is not a one-time luck or a one-day effort, and it is not something that can be found just by looking for a treasure mine. ”
Cha Cha Zhi said, "Not bad. Madame Jia's method was not a loss for the pirates. ”
Lu Qingqiu said: "Section by section, thousands of branches and leaves. I don't bloom, I don't tease bees and butterflies. Boss Qin, Captain Zuo, please follow me. ”
After speaking, Lu Qingqiu got up and walked out of the crypt grotto. Qin Xiao and Zuo Yintang hurriedly followed. The others also wanted to see what kind of rejuvenation technique Lu Qingqiu had, and they all followed closely behind. Don't look at Lu Qingqiu as quiet as Mount Tai, walking around like a flying swallow, light as a flocculent. The foot ripples, and the cyan robe became a small dot in a few flashes. It is as straight as a boat treading the wind and waves, beating the smoke waves, and drifting lightly on the water. Qin Xiao didn't need to say anything, the Zuoyin Hall came from the soil, drilled in the hole, and the skills of the earth Xingsun had not yet been displayed, and Lu Qingqiu was almost gone.
The crowd tried their best to keep up. Out of the Centipede Ice Mountain Mine Cave, Lu Qingqiu got up and down the derrick twice. Other people don't have this skill, even if they have these two hits, it is not easy to grab Lu Qingqiu's lead, they all go up the well ladder first and then board the derrick.
On the opposite side, the hidden coast is a pirate giant ship, and the pirate ship is connected with each other. Everyone gathered to watch and felt that the pirate fleet had not changed much, that is, there were more and more lights. If you want to learn anything from pirates, why not also pull up the wires and light the light bulbs, and turn this sea area into a city that never sleeps?
Lu Qingqiu smiled and said, "Let's look to the side." ”
The crowd looked away again. Inside the slanting thorns are the glaciers of the mountains, which stand like huge crystals, and look fantastic and magical, making people envy the ingenuity of nature. What a vicissitudes of life, there is the continuation of peaks and peaks. The winding ice mountains take on different styles with the passage of time. The clouds and fog are long, thousands of icebergs appear and disappear from time to time, and the green and white icebergs, like thousands of giant apes, rushed here to gather and arrange into a strict lineup determined to move forward.
Everyone was amazed by the beauty of the glacier. It's just that this 10,000 glaciers seem to have been standing there since ancient times, and I don't know how many years I have seen it, but I really don't know what mysteries are hidden in this iceberg like an old man in white.
Qin Xiao's eyes contained light, very broken and broken, like multi-faceted crystals, the light flickered, as if he suddenly understood something.
As if empowered, Qin Xiao jumped up and said, "There is a way!" ”
Everyone heard the alarm of the LCD clock in a dream, and they were in a daze, but they couldn't wake up.
Qin Xiao said to Jia Saihua: "Sister-in-law said that we should use explosives to blow up the mine cave in the Centipede Mountain Range. So, with those explosives, why don't we blow these icebergs away? ”
Jia Saihua was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "What do Lu Xiangu and Boss Qin mean, do we also make ice blades and ice bombs?" ”
Zuo Yintang also thought about it, and said: "The power of the ice blades and ice lump bombs is too small, compared to these icebergs, it is a bit insignificant. If we can create an iceberg avalanche and bury the pirate fleet once and for all, it will be a miracle on earth. ”
All the people around the derrick lookout are human spirits, and they can be passed through at one point and penetrated at one point. immediately understood Lu Qingqiu's whimsy. The iceberg is on one side of the pirate fleet, no more than half a mile away, and if you blow up the tip of the iceberg with explosives and create an overwhelming avalanche, then the pirate fleet will be buried in the snow in a few minutes. This is the same principle as the pirates who made ice blade sleds and ice bombs based on local materials, and it was also the original intention of Lu Qingqiu to learn from pirates.
Everyone cheered, and suddenly fell silent. The problem of explosives is not difficult to handle, explosives are the occupation of the Qinxiao Mine Team, and exploding fish is the old business of Anle Village, and there are as many explosives as there are. But who is moving to the iceberg? There are more than 30 people left in the mining team now, and they often recover, and they have to move to the Year of the Monkey?
Jia Saihua said: "We can recruit people in Anle Village. Carrying explosives is not a face-to-face killing with pirates, as long as the pay is good, you don't have to worry about finding a porter. ”
Everyone nodded. Indeed, if no one does it, what else will it not do if you give money? Although the mining team only has a few dozen people, this hole is full of ore, and this account can be counted with your toes.
Liu Qi and Liu Lin are two brothers who don't use their toes. Immediately out of the Centipede Mountains from the passage that had just been dug up, and made a detour back to Anle Village to recruit porters.
Qin Xiao, Zuo Yintang, and Jia Saihua began to figure out how to take a thumbnail of the iceberg, and then calculate the blasting point.
The dreary ancient city of the Crypt is busy again.
Chen Xiangmei was seriously injured and could not participate in the blasting operation, but she could help tie up the explosives bag. Then, the recruited porters took advantage of the fog and wind and snow to take a detour to the predetermined iceberg to carry explosives and dig a blasting point. When the villagers and villagers of Anle Village heard that they could get money just by carrying and chiseling ice, they naturally enthusiastically participated. Therefore, the speed of carrying explosives and the excavation of blasting points are surprisingly fast. In just two days, the abundant explosives and dozens of large ice holes on the mountainside were completed. The mine team accepted and passed the qualification.
But the next question is a bit troublesome. The porters are 100% strong men, and they have no problem working hard, but it is a bit clumsy and laborious to bury explosives up and down the rope. There have been several accidents that have slipped off a cliff and injured people. And there are almost no second skilled female workers like Yizhang Hong Jia Saihua, who are light and dexterous and know how to be a blasting expert.
Now I had to ask the female general of the mining team to come out. Mi Hui, the first assistant of Hou Yixuan of Tianma Company, and Mu Wenhui and Liu Jiaying, two waiters of Chen Zhinian. Chen Xiangmei's injuries were basically healed, and she also jumped off the hospital bed to join the women's handling team. In the end, even the little actor Lin Yiqing participated in the task of carrying landfill explosives because of her slender figure and not inferior to her beautiful eyebrows.
After finding a misty moment, the women's ammunition team set off. They made a detour to the foot of the preset iceberg, and began to slowly move towards their destination with a climbing frame made of ropes and a steel frame.
The sun has risen, and the thousand-year-old glaciers are shining in the sunlight. Slowly, the swirling fog band turned into a hazy veil that covered the waist of the snow iceberg, making it feel mysterious. Everyone didn't say a word, and climbed up. From the bird's-eye view of the ropeway, the icebergs on the sea surface are in full view, and the white expanse is as if you have stepped into a world of pink and jade, with crystal ice cubes hanging on the mountain rocks. The rolling ice peaks and snowy mountains, overlapping and connected together, like a giant dragon, are very spectacular. Nature is ever-changing, with clouds and mist on one side.
