Chapter 778: 【Shaft】

  Although the altitude of the island is only more than 800 meters above sea level, which means that there is a mountain top of more than 800 meters, but the appearance of this mountain top is really weird. Like a half-knocked coconut buckled on the island, the gap is at the top of the castle, and the mountains are all rocks and there is no vegetation at all.

   looks bald, like a Mediterranean hairstyle, Yang Yong climbed a small hillside during the exploration two days ago. I saw a beacon made of stones piled up on the bare rock at the highest point of the hillside. I thought it was because of belief that the artificially piled stone shape remained, but now I think about it, this The piles of stones are getting weirder.

  Tomorrow, we should open it up to see what is hidden under these gravel stones. After a good night's sleep, everyone came to the top of the mountain with grinning cups at 9 am the next morning. Let everyone see the artificial traces of this gravel piled up, and everyone is talking about it. The shape of this stone piled up is so weird that it looks like an abandoned beacon tower, not like the base of a lighthouse, all the rocks All are solid granite.

  This stone piled up is really a benevolent person who sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. Some say that it belongs to the Beacon Tower, and some say that this is from Liao Wangtai. It is even said that this is the base of the lighthouse, but Yang Yong looks more like a sacrificial thing, like the altar built by people in ancient times to worship the sky.

   Looking at the traces of wind and rain on the stone, it seems that it has been a long time, at least a hundred years. Yang Yong always believed that there must be articles under this pile of stones. But it was because there were too few people to move this pile of stones with a radius of five square meters. The stones in this pile were at least tens of thousands and dozens of tons, and it was impossible to move them with three or two people.

   Now that there is someone, Yang Yong finally decided to solve the doubts in his heart, and began to organize people to point at the stone pile and say. "Everyone has seen how weird this thing is. Regardless of whether it is a beacon tower or the base of a lighthouse, I feel that there are unknown secrets buried under this pile of stones."

   "Because there were so few people, it was impossible to move this pile of stones. Now there are too many people and everyone joins hands to form a conveyor belt. Let me move this stone away. I want to see what secrets there are."

  Everyone is in a line, you pass it to me, and I pass it to you. The manual conveyor belt method is the most labor-saving. The boss has given orders, what else is there to hesitate? Although this pile of stones has reached dozens or even hundreds of tons, the large and small stones together exceed tens of thousands. If you want to remove this stone, it is not a simple matter. Fortunately, there are many people and great strength. Can you still deal with this pile of stones when there are almost 30 people together?

   But where are the removed stones? The top of the mountain is bare, if all the yards are placed on the top of the mountain when it rains heavily. Stones are easy to be washed down. If they hit people or trees, they will die. In the end, they have no choice but to throw them at the foot of the mountain and let these stones slide down on their own. And then laying these stones on the road or reinforcing the trees will always come in handy.

  Yang Yong took the lead, and Smith was on the side, forming two conveyor belts, and began to transmit stones little by little. When I was tired, I sat on the stone and rested for a while. Because there was no vegetation on the mountain and the sun was shining directly above my head, people were sweating profusely in ten minutes.

   One team rested, and the other team continued to work. This artificial pile of stones slowly melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. The layers were peeled off, but the strange thing was that the stones on the outside were small, and after peeling off like an onion layer by layer, the stones inside were actually piece by piece. Some stones even weighed several tons and could not be lifted by hand.

   In the end, only hydraulic pliers were used, and various demolition tools were used to remove these big rocks little by little, and then several people worked together to push the big rocks down the mountain. An artificial landslide was formed, and the rumbling, rumbling, rumbling, and dust all the way fell to the foot of the mountain, and then shattered the big rock, which saved a lot of trouble.

   This pile of stones is like an onion, peeling off layer by layer, the more difficult it is to get inside, only 1/3 of it is peeled off after a day. The stone inside is getting bigger and bigger like a foundation, which is used to maintain the stability of this stone building.

   At this time, everyone agreed with Smith's statement that this building is very much like the foundation of a lighthouse for navigation. Otherwise, it is impossible to place so many big men in the center of the pile of stones, isn't it just for stability? But Yang Yong doesn't think so, because this is against common sense and against the principle of architectural stability.

  If it were the base of the lighthouse, those large stones would be placed on the outermost layer to reinforce the crushed stones inside. Why put the gravel on the outermost layer and the big rock on the innermost? It's not stable. If there is a hurricane or a storm, these small stones will be washed away by the rain, and the lighthouse will collapse. There are a few large stones in the center that are used as farts.

   But no matter what kind of guess is good, only by completely demolishing this artificially built stone building will we know the secret inside. When everyone moved for a day, they sweated a lot and were exposed to the sun for a whole day. This elite team even supported each other to walk down the hillside and return to the camp.

   But these half-dead team members, when they saw the cool river water, seemed to be rejuvenated with the second spring. Howling rushed in, washed, washed, washed, and after half an hour no one came out, everyone shouted that they would spend the night in the cool river water. I have to sleep in the cool river water all night, or I will be sorry for today's sun.

   In order to replenish the body of the team members, Yang Yong ordered the chef to make a sumptuous dinner, a piece of 250 grams of pan-fried foie gras per person is enough. Not to mention that each person still has a bottle of 200 mg of brandy, foie gras and brandy are a perfect match, and some other hearty dishes make everyone smile.

   Continue to work the next morning, and work until the afternoon of the third day when the largest hydraulic pliers are used, and the hydraulic expander will hold the two large rocks close to each other. Expanding the space of 40 centimeters, you can finally see what secrets are hidden under the two large stones weighing more than ten tons. Sure enough, there is a secret. The two large stones are like two yin and yang stones entangled with each other to form a Tai Chi pattern.

   But below the two stones, a dark cave appeared, the cave was straight up and down, like a shaft. The black hole can't see what secrets are hidden inside, because the weight of the two large stones entangled with each other is too great, there is no way to get down without avoiding this shaft.

   In the end, I had no choice but to tie a climbing rope to the big rock, and then use a triangular agile method to pull it out little by little. In order to lubricate the underside of the stone, more than 50 liters of olive oil was sprinkled, which allowed the two large stones weighing more than ten tons to be removed little by little.
