Chapter 386

"Could it be to remove the pole and replace it with a rope?"

It was only then that Fang Ming noticed that there was not only a pole cover but also two holes where the Luoyang shovel was connected to the pole. In fact, he had noticed these two holes before, but he didn't expect that they were used to tie ropes.

Sure enough, Niu Ping took down the pole and tied the rope up.The bundle of ropes that Niu Ping took out was not too thick, but they were high-quality nylon ropes. After letting go, let alone ten meters, it must exceed 50 meters.

Fang Ming already knew that Niu Ping must have used a rope instead of a pole, but would it work?Can you hit down without a pole?

Niu Ping quickly tied the rope, held the rope for a test, nodded with satisfaction, walked back to the hole he had dug before, and put the Luoyang shovel down.Just like using the pole before, he is also standing on both sides of the hole with his legs at this time, pulling the rope with both hands, and releasing it after it is vertical.

"boom!"

Fang Ming heard a dull sound coming from the hole.

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Receiving and releasing the rope, Niu Ping followed each other in an orderly manner.Fang Ming's eyes widened. Although he was using a rope, it was like a pole. Luoyang shoveled up the soil from the hole one shovel after another in Niu Ping's hand.

Suddenly, Fang Ming realized what was going on.

When he took the Luoyang shovel just now, he felt that the shovel head of this Luoyang shovel was too heavy. He thought that if it was just for punching holes, there was no need for it to be so heavy.But he didn't think too much about it. After all, Luoyang's shovel was heavier, so he could save a lot of energy when hitting down, and he had more chances to punch through hard rocks and the like.

Now it seems that it is not so simple: In addition to the above reasons, the weight of Luoyang shovel is probably more designed for the current use of ropes instead of poles.

The distance of two to three meters is the distance between people that ordinary poles can reach. No matter how long it is, it does not mean that there is no connection, but no matter how connected it is, there will be a limit, and it is easier for grave robbers Exposing and inconvenient.

But the rope is different. It is long and easy to carry. It is not a problem for a bundle of tens of meters, but it is different from the pole. Once the rope is used, it is impossible to use the upper force to hit the soil. After reaching a certain weight and adding an appropriate distance, you can use the force generated by its free fall to hit the soil!

This design seems simple, but it solves the problem at once!

But this method cannot be used at the beginning. You must first use a pole and a Luoyang shovel to make a hole a few meters deep, and then replace the rope with the Luoyang shovel. Enough power due to enough distance.

Just imagine, how much force can a Luoyang shovel weighing more than ten kilograms or even tens of kilograms produce after a few meters of free fall?

Unless it encounters a hard ground like rocks, it must be able to "eat" it. In this way, when the rope is lifted up, the dirt that has been punched out will be brought out naturally!

Repeated use of this method will definitely be able to hit deep places, and theoretically speaking, as long as the rope is long, it can hit as deep as possible!
At this time, Fang Ming finally understood why a simple tool like the Luoyang shovel was able to make a hole more than ten meters or even tens of meters deep.

Watching Niu Ping operate for a while, Fang Ming understood that the key points inside are actually the same as when using the pole before. The most important thing is to keep the hole being drilled vertical, because if it is not vertical, the Luoyang shovel will When you fall down, you will get stuck in the middle, and there is no way to continue hitting.

The method of using Luoyang shovel is actually not complicated, but the whole process is very boring. It must be carefully kept vertical, and every shovel must be like this. A little bit, the whole hole will be crooked after accumulation.

Fang Ming is a very patient person. Although he has been playing continuously for nearly [-] hours, he still maintains a steady rhythm. Take a close look at the soil brought out from the Luoyang shovel, and pay special attention to whether the color of the soil has changed.

"Fang Ming, how is the situation?"

Niu Ping came over, he had gone to Zhao Zhuzi on the other side.

Shaking his head, Fang Ming said: "From the beginning to now, there is no change at all. From the length of the rope, I think it should be nearly five meters in."

Niu Ping inspected the soil that Fang Ming had dug out, nodded lightly, and said, "Yes, there is nothing special. The same is true for the pillar, and nothing was found."

"Old Niu, it's so deep that there's still no movement at all. Could it be that there isn't anything below?"

Fang Ming stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although it was just a simple lifting and release, it was actually very tiring after a long time.

"It's possible, but it's still not accurate at such a depth. Generally speaking, we have to drill to a depth of about ten meters, preferably more than 15 meters. This is safer. Of course, if water comes out halfway, then That's another matter."

Fang Ming knew this was because no matter what kind of tomb it was, drying was the top priority, that is to say, no one would dig the tomb in a place with water, so if the dug soil was very wet and could drip water, then Basically, it is impossible to have a tomb below - of course, if it is caused by the movement of the earth's crust, that is another matter, but such cases are relatively rare.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's talk about hitting around 15 meters."

After Fang Ming rested for a while, he continued to dig holes with the Luoyang shovel.

Tomb robbery seems to be a very mysterious and exciting thing, but in fact it is not the case. At least it does not take a day and a half to make a hole more than ten meters deep in the ground with a Luoyang shovel, and the whole process is very boring.

It was getting dark gradually, and his vision began to blur. Fang Ming stopped his hands. It was no longer suitable to continue working at this time.

Back at the camping place, Fang Ming saw that Zhao Zhuzi had come back earlier than himself, and was baking something with Niu Ping.

"rabbit?"

Fang Ming took a look and found that there were three rabbits hanging on the fire.

"Well, I went hunting before. This is an oasis with water and vegetation. There are many things like rabbits or deer. It seems that we don't have to worry about food even if we stay here for a year and a half."

As Niu Ping spoke, he turned the branch in his hand. A large amount of fat oozed from the golden rabbit, which dripped on the fire, and sparks burst out with a "canopy" sound, followed by a burst of fat. Strong meaty aroma.

"Ha! Grandpa Niu, Brother Fang Ming, let's stay here for a while. Among other things, after we go out, we won't be able to eat things like sika deer anymore."

Zhao Zhuzi laughed loudly, thinking of the sika deer roasted last night, Zhao Zhuzi's saliva drools again.

Fang Ming also laughed. Zhao Zhuzi is right. Now this place is located in the depths of the desert. Because of the oasis and the fact that no one has come here for many years, there are a lot of animals growing here. Living here is certainly not possible, but it's pretty good for a short time.

The rabbit was roasted soon, and Fang Ming, Niu Ping, and Zhao Zhuzi gnawed on it one by one, filling their mouths with oil.

"Old Niu, there are shrapnel and bomb craters everywhere here. I think someone must have been here before, and it may be the army. Therefore, some information about this imperial tomb must have existed in history, but it was taken away. At least not in China."

"The people we met before must be the ones who have the information, but even if they have the information, it is probably not too detailed, so I didn't find it here."

Nibbling on the rabbit, Fang Ming thought of those people he met before.Niu Ping has been looking for the imperial tomb all his life, and in the end he found it by accident only when he got lost. Those people can easily find it. It would be hell if there is no map or something.

In particular, the discovery of shrapnel here proves that someone did come here decades ago. The people who came here at that time might be the ones who discovered the information. They came based on the information. Yes, then these materials may be passed on.

"Well, yes, there should be nothing wrong with this situation. However, there is still a question, that is, did the people who came here decades ago open the imperial tomb?"

This issue has actually been discussed before, and Niu Ping brought it up again at this time, obviously because he is really worried about this issue: once the underground palace is opened, there will be nothing left.

"It's hard to say."

Fang Ming frowned and said, "Of course it might have been opened. I turned around before I came back just now and found a few big craters, but they were buried again after so many years. The entrance to the dungeon."

"Of course, it is also possible that the people who came at that time did not open the underground palace."

Niu Ping frowned and said, "Oh, why do you say that?"

In Niu Ping's view, the chance of the tomb in front of him being stolen is too great: the buildings on the ground have long been destroyed, and there are potholes everywhere!

"If the original people had already opened the underground palace, the people we met would not have come theoretically. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that from the perspective of the destruction of the site, the people who came here must have They are still professionals. They can't find out where the real underground palace is, so they can only bomb around and try their luck. Under such circumstances, it is uncertain whether they can finally find the underground palace. This thing, the power of the bombs back then is not comparable to the power of the present, if the imperial tomb is buried at a depth of more than ten meters or tens of meters, whether it can be blown up or not is a matter of debate."
