Chapter 243 Probing Again
The Golden Fleece first told everyone that he used echolocation to discover many underground spaces in the cliffs under the city of Helambo.

But this time the positioning signals are very complicated and there is interference, which means that those underground spaces are huge caves or tunnel groups, or they may be military facilities like air-raid shelters.

In addition, the signal source that has repeatedly interfered with his magnetic field detector is also basically determined. It should be some unknown "ferromagnetic" substance about two kilometers southeast of the cliff in Helanbo City.

In view of this, the Golden Fleece boldly infers that this kind of material with a special magnetic field or radiation often causes the surrounding environment and biological mutations. This phenomenon is called "radioactive mutation" in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, and in the "high gravity area" in Antarctica It has been found that animals and plants in abnormal magnetic poles tend to show deformed and gigantic characteristics, and this can also partially explain the mutations of the golden pythons and endoparasites we encountered.

After listening to these words, I stuck out my thumb in admiration, and praised the Golden Fleece: "Look, everyone, the old **** said that 'science and technology are the primary productive forces'. We didn't understand it before, but now we understand it." Right! It’s a living example, it clarifies everything we don’t understand! It’s amazing!~”

After I patted the Golden Fleece on the shoulder, maybe he also felt that I was praising him, so this guy showed a rare smile, which was the first positive response to me.

With the release of a series of detection results, everyone decided to split into two groups. Baturu, the Golden Fleece, and Wang Hou stayed in the camp, and continued to use detection equipment to find things about the "Blood Well" and Heilan Bocheng's underground palace.I, Master Lin Jiaxian Hongye, and brothers Agou and Mao will go to the ruins of the ancient city on the cliff tomorrow to find out.

I know that the ancient city was burnt by Zhao Gong, and there is probably nothing left, but in order to satisfy Xian Hongye's wish, I have to go.

After all, she is the protagonist of this journey, Lin Shaosong is the master, and my status is somewhat similar to that of a "military adviser" while investigating the origin of the Zhao family's kitchen knife. The whereabouts of the old man Xian Yundu were not found.

This made me feel somewhat sorry for Xian Hongye.And in order to compensate Miss Xian, I feel that it is better to accompany her to the top of the mountain in person, and with Lin Shaosong, the "wolf" by her side, I am always a little inexplicably worried.

With this subtle thought in mind, the next morning, I set off with Xian Hongye, Lin Shaosong and others, and set off early to the ridge where Heilanbo City is located.

Along the way, I felt that Heilanbo City was a bit steep and "over" back then. We searched here and there, and it took us a long time to find a road up the mountain near the cliff.

The road was paved with bluestone slabs and built according to the mountain. It was wide and narrow at times, and at its narrowest, there were cliffs on both sides, which could only allow one person to pass through.

Although the road has been baptized by the years, it is still durable. The bluestone road like a snake is comfortable to walk on. In the process of going up the mountain, we can't see the end of the road except that we know that the road is going up the mountain. The scene, so there is still some confusion about whether it is possible to reach the top of the mountain.

But this is the only mountain road after all, we have no choice, so we can only go forward.

I don't know how many turns and twists and turns, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, and a small "platform" that was neatly repaired appeared in front of everyone.

Looking from the direction we went up the mountain, the platform building was on a small piece of flat land between the cliffs, more than a hundred square meters, it was obviously a relic of the building that was leveled out by people, and there were a lot of bricks and rubble dotted in it after removing the weeds.

After crossing the broken walls between the platforms, behind the platform is the long and narrow cliff we saw on the satellite map, extending about 300 meters east-west like a dragon.

Suddenly, I understood somewhat that the platform of more than [-] square meters was probably the "mountain gate" that entered Heilanbo City back then, and judging from the topography of this pass, only a small number of troops need to be sent to guard the mountain ridge. Thousands of troops can't capture it.

The excellent terrain, the strange cliff and the wreckage of the building, all of these completely coincide with the various records of Heilanbo City, but looking around, except for this small platform, I can really only see it on the cliff. All kinds of vines and shrubs can be seen on the ground, but there is really no trace of other buildings.

I was a little disappointed and said to Xian Hongye: "It seems... everything has been bulldozed."

Faced with the astonishingly embarrassing situation, Xian Hongye nodded, and accepted the reality with some helplessness, but after all, it has already come, and it is not appropriate not to take a deeper look, so Lin Shaosong and I comforted Xian Hongye for a long time, and then everyone messed up. Some shrubs and branches, while weeding grass, walked to the depths of the cliff.

At this time, as the mountain wind picked up, the mist around the top of the mountain gradually dissipated. I stood on the top of the mountain and looked down to the left. I could fully see the dry riverbed and the off-road convoy when we came. , it is the bottomless valleys and forests in the haze. It is so dark that I don't know how deep or how long it is.

Suddenly, I felt that the valley on the lower right was extremely deep, as if it was a deep cave leading to the ground, so that I felt my heart beat faster after looking at it for a while, and I was dizzy, and I even felt afraid of heights.

The valley on the right side of the cliff is half-surrounded by this winding cliff, which is how many meters higher than the river when we came here. It seems to be another world, and there is a lot hidden under the black and green secret. deep secret.

In order to prevent this dizzy feeling from causing me to fall headfirst, I hastily retracted my eyes and quickened my pace. At the same time, I used the wooden branch in my hand to concentrate on slapping the messy bushes to distract myself from my inexplicable high tension.

I don't know that after I walked a few steps, the wooden stick in my hand made a "snap" sound of hitting metal, and the sound came from the top of the stick with huge resistance, which shocked me.

The sharp metallic sound attracted everyone's attention, and I even bent down to push aside the weeds, trying to see what I encountered.

Under the weeds, I saw a section of dark brown steel bar, which was inserted obliquely into the ground, and seemed to be pierced very deep.

The steel bars are very common, rebars that are common on construction sites, but the strange thing is that this thing is a modern product, and it is impossible for it to appear in the ancient city that existed in the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at this steel, a very interesting idea entered my mind instantly.

I finally know why Helanbo City disappeared so cleanly.

Pointing at the steel bars, I said to Xian Hongye and Lin Shaosong: "The rammed steel bars! The ancient city here was probably leveled by the 74th engineering troops. They wanted to build some modern buildings, but then they stopped building for some reason. plan, leaving only some infrastructure parts.”

Following my words, everyone scattered again, and soon found square steel frames, broken concrete and "ancient" liquor bottles among more rock crevices.

Seeing these, I am a little lost.
