"Sniff"

Chen Ergou's nose sniffed around in the cave, as if he had discovered something.

Anthony and the audience were still immersed in this rare beauty, "Chen, this is a hot spring, and the water temperature is not low. I never knew that there are hot springs in Congo."

"There are volcanoes in the Congo, it's not surprising." Chen Ergou replied casually, stroking his fingers on the wall rocks that reflect light, "These spars that reflect light are mostly crystals, and there are a lot of shale in the caves. It is the lava condensed after the volcanic eruption, green leaf rock, garnet, greisen and so on."

"This is a volcano, so there will be diamonds, right?" Anthony turned his head in an instant, looking expectant.

Chen Ergou said noncommittally: "Maybe there is. Diamonds are formed under the conditions of high pressure and high temperature deep in the earth, and they mainly appear in peridotite. Diamonds are brought to the surface or the shallow part of the earth by volcanic activities along with rocks."

"But you don't have to have diamonds if there's a volcanic eruption."

"Especially if it is exposed to such an obvious environment and has not been discovered by the miners, then these former colonial miners are too underestimated."

Anthony was not disappointed either, he just asked casually.

Chen Ergou looked at the rock wall, and suddenly took out his flint and steel, scraped it with a knife a few times and rubbed it to produce a lot of sparks on the rock wall.

"Wipe~~" There was no response several times in a row.

Anthony asked curiously, "Chen, what are you doing lighting the fire?"

Chen Ergou ignored it, and continued to hit Mars, changing several places in a row, but there was a sudden "bang" on the wall, and a dazzling light like a fire dragon was ignited on the entire rock wall. .

"Ah~!" Anthony and the audience in the live broadcast room were taken aback. Even Chen Ergou instinctively closed his eyes to block the strong light.

The entire burning process lasted for several seconds before it was finally extinguished. Then came the intense darkness followed by a burst of strong light, and it took a long time for the eyes to get used to the current searchlight light again.

"What's going on here?" Anthony was still in shock.

"It's some magnesium-containing minerals that burn when they meet an open flame. Things like fireworks, flash powder, magnesium salts, getters, flares, etc. all need magnesium to make them, and they burn easily."

Anthony was speechless,

"I know this, but...Chen, can you let me know next time? We are still in the mine after all."

Chen Ergou smiled, picked up a few crystal stones hanging from the ground, and said, "Sorry, I will let you know in advance next time."

Anthony also came over to observe a few pieces of ore, and asked, "It's so beautiful, what kind of ore is this?"

Chen Ergou simply threw it to him casually, letting him look at it enough, "Maybe it is some kind of ore containing metal components, which is not rare. But this one..." He picked up another stone with a smooth surface like a pebble, and looked around. It is milky white with a faint blue glow in the center, very pretty.

The audience in the live broadcast room was lively, especially those female audiences——

"Wow, have you picked up a gem again?"

"It doesn't look like a diamond, otherwise Lord Dog wouldn't just throw it to others."

"It depends on the diamonds. In fact, there are a few big ones in Mr. Dog's backpack, and they are all priceless."

"What kind of stone is this? It's really beautiful. I really want it."

In the lens, a little bit of light converges in the center of the oval stone, reflecting a soft halo as if it is shining, which is beautiful.

Chen Ergou gave the answer, "This seems to be a blue moonstone of albite."

"What is a blue moonstone?" Anthony also picked up one and asked, "There seem to be a few more similar ones on the ground."

Chen Ergou explained: "Blue moonstone is a kind of moonstone. The surface of moonstone is a bit like foggy glass, which is delicate and soft, and has strong light transmission."

He aimed the flashlight at the stone in his hand, and irradiated it, almost shining it through, "Because the reflection of light in the internal structure of this stone causes the albite in the interlayer to emit various colors of light, with some mysterious and romantic luster, just like moonlight Named for being full of spirit.”

"The price of moonstone is not comparable to other gemstones, so you can keep it as a souvenir. The best moonstones are generally translucent, with blue light like waves floating. The poorer ones are semi-turbid, or simply have iridescence without Blue light...just like the one in your hand."

"..." Anthony smiled helplessly, "It shouldn't be very valuable, can I keep a piece as a souvenir?"

Chen Ergou glanced at him unexpectedly, "Ask me what to do, even if it is a diamond, I will not ask you for it in your hand. Moonstone is a good choice as a souvenir, at least it proves that you have entered this place. Mine explored."

"No, no, I wouldn't take it if it was a diamond. I don't want a diamond, it's not mine, it's yours. Without you leading the way, I wouldn't even dare to come in."

Chen Ergou smiled, noncommittal, "Let's explore further."

Not far forward, I saw a deep underground pit. If the light of Goudan is not strong enough, if you are not careful, you will slip and fall directly.

Looking down with the probe, it was dark and bottomless. It should have been a natural cave, but there were some irregular excavation marks on the cave wall. Presumably someone found this place and used it.

Otherwise, in the era when mining technology was not advanced, how much manpower and material resources would be required to dig such a large mine!

"There is no road ahead, shall we go back?" Anthony felt guilty.

Chen Ergou said: "Do you have light sticks in your backpack?"

"Let me see... there are two more."

"Throw one of the objects in free fall, and I'll measure the height."

Anthony did as he said, and a red light stick started to glow after twisting a few times, and he let go of the light stick in free fall. Chen Ergou looked at his watch and began to count, "1, 2, 3... fell to the bottom for about 3 seconds. According to the formula of free fall displacement time, it is about... 45m."

"45m, this is too high, let's go back." Before Chen Ergou could speak, Anthony's legs began to weaken and he retreated.

Chen Ergou ignored it, he has always been a practical man.

He directly took out the bundle of nylon climbing ropes obtained from Old Baker, and said, "This bundle of ropes is 100 meters long, we can definitely go down. If you don't dare, just wait here to meet me."

Anthony was a little dazed, telling him to wait up there alone seemed even more frightening, "I...but how do I get up after I go down."

Chen Ergou smiled and said: "There is always a way. Since you are afraid, you should wait up there. Be bolder, it is safe here, and I will come up soon."

Anthony struggled: "I'd better go down with you."

Chen Ergou looked at him in surprise, "Are you serious?"

Anthony hesitated for a moment, but still nodded solemnly, "I must go down with you, otherwise Jenny will blame me to death."

Chen Ergou was speechless, it turned out to be to pick up girls. That Jenny is not his thing.

He started to act, "Anthony, since you want to go down, prepare seriously. Take out your rope, follow me, and do what I do."

Anthony quickly copied it.

At the same time, Chen Ergou did not forget to face the camera, explaining how to use a rope to descend, saying: "Friends, I will use the rope to descend to the bottom of the mine to check it out."

"This cliff descent method originated in Switzerland. It was first used in plateau self-rescue, transportation and military raids, and later evolved into extreme amusement projects such as bungee jumping, rock climbing, and racing."

"Tourists who visit some scenic spots may also experience the pulley downhill with a high drop. It is very exciting and challenges the inherent sense of fear in danger. Many people like this experience. But I am not here to experience the excitement now. .As you can see, the cliff is almost vertical, and even with a rope, a little special method must be adopted. I am going to use the abseiling method!"

He began to spread out the bundled ropes neatly instead of tangling them together, and tied a section to several raised stone pillars, teaching the audience how to tie knots, "If you just go down and need to recover the ropes, It's better to tie a kamikaze knot, which is good for recycling... I have to think about climbing up for a while now, so I must have a firm knot."

The preparations were quickly arranged, and the descent began.

Anthony's legs and waist were tied very firmly. Chen Ergou instructed him to stand upside down on the top of the cliff. As soon as he stood up, his calf trembled.

Chen Ergou stood on the edge of the cliff, pulling his rope with both hands and said: "Remember Anthony. Downhill descent does not require strict professional skills, but once you start to descend, you can't back down. You must overcome fear and obstacles, persevere To the end. From self-motivation, self-control to self-transcendence, and finally to success."

"Note that your right hand must be on the back of your right waist. Step on the wall with your legs spread apart, and the rope is placed between your legs. Hold your rope tightly to keep your body fixed. Slowly relax the rope with your right hand, and you will Fall at a constant speed under the effect, and I will help you."

"Okay, okay..." Anthony yelled, "Please."

At this time, the millions of viewers who were still watching the live broadcast broke into a cold sweat for them.

I used to look down on this American, but now I admire him a little. At least in this case, there is definitely a large group of people who dare not move.

"I'm going to let the rope go."

Chen Ergou started to let go of the rope, Anthony's buttocks sank uncontrollably, but his feet didn't move at all, he suddenly laughed and said, "Your feet can move, buddy, just go down like stairs."

After several teachings, this guy finally started to move to the next step. When they reached a similar distance, Chen Ergou also moved, turning over and standing on the edge of the cliff. Push off the wall with both feet, and with the help of pedaling force, start to slowly lower the rope. The movement was light and easy, and after a few steps down, he had already caught up with Anthony who had fallen for half a day.

"How are you?"

He easily greeted the American who was hanging upside down and dawdling cautiously.

Anthony glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "It's not good, my thigh hurts from being rubbed. My hands are also a little weak."

"Take it easy, I'm by your side, take it easy and start letting go...yes, that's it, keep the tempo down."

After several teachings, Chen Ergou led him down slowly to the bottom.

During the period, no matter how slow and procrastinated the other party was, he always patiently relieved his pressure and encouraged him.

It took more than five minutes for the two to meet at the bottom. Chen Ergou untied the rope and said with a smile: "My friends, in "Crazy Stone", the thief Mike used a very professional method to steal the jade from the beam of the house. But because the rope bought by the profiteer is not long enough, it hangs in the air and cannot be reached... I am very fortunate that this bundle of rope is long enough."

"23333, I'll give you a lung."

"You're so handsome, Master Dog, come on."

"Look at what's down there, are there diamonds everywhere?"

...

"Anthony, can we go?"

"Yes, thank you." After going through a lot, his face began to reveal an expression of excitement, "This is the first time I have this kind of experience. At the beginning, my heart jumped out. There is a sense of accomplishment.”

Chen Ergou smiled and said: "Okay, don't waste time. Let's explore the secrets under this mine."

The flashlight and Goudan's searchlight flicked around, and immediately found something unusual.

There is also a huge steel and wooden frame below, and there are traces of pulleys and ropes. Obviously, the people who mined at the beginning used this method to transport the ore up by rails. Because of the special environment below the mine, after more than a hundred years, there are still many dead bones that have not weathered and rotted.

"Look, everyone: there seems to be traces of battle here!" Chen Ergou pointed the camera at a skeleton under the weight of metal rails in the corner.

Because the scene was too terrifying, Goudan has already performed automatic mosaic.

After looking carefully, I found that there are still many traces of battles around, including explosives, firearms, wooden sticks, mining picks and other weapons. Some of these dead bones are still entangled with each other fiercely. It seems conceivable that they are still fighting desperately with the enemy at the last moment before them.

Anthony was surprised: "Could it be that there is a war between the miners and managers here?"

"It can't be called war, it may be a desperate resistance pushed to the limit."

The audience in the live broadcast room became much quieter after seeing this scene. This is not a prop for a Hollywood movie, but a real battle relic. Even if it spans a hundred years, it is still possible to recognize the resistance and fighting under the desperation at that time.

The walls are mottled and permeated with water, damp and rotten, as if witnessing the original blood.

"Chen, look quickly, there are still explosives here."

Sure enough, it was a pack of explosives, and there seemed to be a lot of them. Chen Ergou touched it a few times and found that the lead wire had rotted. With a light touch, the package of the explosive package has rotted, and the gunpowder scattered all over the ground. "It's useless. The miners and slaves seem to have failed, but they also dealt a heavy blow to the ruler. So the guards above found that the situation was out of control, so they blew up the passage up and trapped the people below. A miner?"

"Then they slaughtered all the miners and retreated?"

"...who knows."

Chen Ergou feels like a treasure hunter who inadvertently stumbles into a war between slave labor and mining colonists that has been dormant for hundreds of years.

What you see before your eyes makes your heart heavy, and at the same time, you can clearly feel the weight of history.

He asked Goudanzai to carefully film all of this, and it will be very good material for later program production.

Anthony suddenly shouted: "Chen, there is still an abandoned mine here!"

Chen Ergou had seen it a long time ago, "Let's go in and have a look."

The mine is very long, and some places can only be climbed down, and some places are steeply downhill, and the ground is covered with railroad tracks, but it is no longer usable. Judging from the excavation track of the mine, there seems to be no rules. It is really lucky that it has not collapsed after being dug like this.

After turning a few corners, the eye-catching space suddenly opens up.

The audience sighed unconsciously when they saw this scene!

Who would have thought that there would be an open space the size of half a football field under the ground, and there would even be a spider web-like mine connected to it.

Under the ground of the space is still a piece of railroad tracks, and there are a few rusty manual minecarts placed there randomly.

Under the light of the searchlights, rotten bones can still be seen everywhere.

"The air in these underground spaces is not smooth, and there is a stale musty smell. Maybe there are some kind of germs hidden in this kind of air. But back then, miners worked in such an environment, eating and drinking It's all down there."

The deeper you explore, the more traces of miners and slaves you can find.

"Friends, we can make a bold guess: In the depths of the mine, the traces of the miners' lives are getting heavier and heavier. Does it mean that this place has been occupied by the miners, and the supervisors who supervise the mining are not They will go down to such a deep mine to supervise. Therefore, the miners gradually have their own space for activities and communication, and then they will resist later."

"At the beginning, this episode must have been very exciting-how the miners went from insensitive to the idea of ​​​​resistance, how to organize resistance, how to die after defeat, etc. It is a pity that the ashes return to the ashes now, and can only be regarded as I'm guessing at will, and I can't even prove it."

Chen Ergou shook his head and said: "Of course, even if I find out this dusty history for many years, it is actually useless. Even now in Congo, there are still armed forces controlling the mines, and they hire miners for $3 a day to mine. I What I can do is at best to bring everyone a long-term experience.”

It is already midnight in China, and there are still nearly 8 million viewers who are collectively cultivating immortals.

The audience is actually very satisfied to see such an underground mine and such an unexpected story behind it.

No one would blame anything, and fans flocked to express their gratitude to the anchor with a wave of bamboo, gifts, and bullet screens.

"Thank you for the gifts, everyone."

Receiving gifts can increase popularity, and he does not resist routine gifts now. It's just that he is still quite disappointed in his heart. There is no doubt that this is an abandoned diamond mine. Maybe a professional company comes to mine it, and it can really dig out diamonds.

But his destination was for that parchment scroll, and the map drawn on the parchment scroll obviously wouldn't be here.

"Chen, take a look at this pool of water."

"What's wrong?"

There is a pool of water that is almost red in the corner, and it seems that a layer of foam has already condensed on the surface.

Anthony said: "This is very likely to be a very ancient thing, perhaps an ancient water pool hundreds of millions of years ago."

Chen Ergou didn't know much about these, "Are you sure? This color is obviously mixed with a lot of trace metals."

"I'm not sure, but I want to pretend to go back and study it. Because someone once discovered an ancient water source 1 billion years ago in the depths of the mine, and it can be determined by detecting the comparison of elements such as helium, neon, and xenon in the water through chemical elements. age. These ancient water sources can improve the evidence for the origin of life on Earth."

Chen Ergou is not interested in this: "It's up to you, as long as you don't drink it down."

He started walking around, wondering if he could pick up a diamond, of course. It's a pity that his good luck seems to be exhausted, not to mention diamonds, he didn't even see a crystal.

Could it be that after the rebellion, someone came down to sweep the goods? If you think about it carefully, it can only be like this.

Grab a stone and throw it forward depressed.

There was a muffled "bang", and a big hole was directly smashed into the cave wall. The light of the searchlight shone in the past, and it was still possible to vaguely see a little bit of light refracted from the cave.

"Huh?" Chen Ergou smiled as if he had discovered a new continent, "Friends, I seem to have discovered something extraordinary."

"666, have you found the treasure again?"

"Master Dog, don't share the loot with others."

"What is it?"

"Excellent, my brother!"
