Chapter 137 What exactly did you dig up? Crisis shrouding the entire city!
Dark clouds are gathering!
There is light rain in the sky, and several large machines are roaring on the small mountain peak where Baiyun Temple once stood.
In May, there are already signs of summer in the south. The temperature is rising rapidly. Fine raindrops are falling from the sky, flying like wool and getting into clothes.
No matter how thick the raincoat is, if you stay in it for even half a moment, you can still get water out of it with a twist.
"Why is it raining so much? It's not the rainy season recently. June and July haven't arrived yet, so why is there so much rain?"
On the tourism development site, a team leader responsible for demolition, reconstruction and excavation cursed and looked up at the sky.
Not far from him, another team leader was also looking at the continuous rain outside, with an ugly expression on his face.
"Indeed, the rain lasted a bit too long. We just started working a few days ago, right? It started raining and it has been raining until now."
"Oh, let it rain. Let's rain. It'll be better if it rains more. Doesn't it feel a lot cooler?" Not far away, the third team leader seemed to have accepted his fate.
"It seems to be true. Yesterday I was wearing short-sleeved shirts at the construction site and I actually felt cold."
"It's outrageous."
Ten years have passed since the demolition and reconstruction of Baiyunguan. Oh my god.
In these ten days, the original Baiyun Temple has completely disappeared, replaced by a huge pothole.
This huge pothole is located on the mountain and is at least twenty meters deep.
And it's not just this one pothole, there are many other potholes in other parts of the mountain, each of which is extremely deep.
Most of the trees on the entire mountain have been cut down. The bare mountains are full of pits and holes, which look extremely eerie under the continuous rain and dark clouds, as if they are spewing out cold air.
But no one paid attention to all this. The three team captains gathered here to direct the actions of many workers and chat at the same time.
“How is it going over there where you are responsible?” a squad leader asked while smoking.
“Hey, stop talking, it’s so slow. I don’t know what’s going on. Ever since it started to rain, I always feel like I can’t get excited. The progress of various projects is very slow.” A team leader He said a little irritably: "And I don't know what's going on lately. There are always people on the construction site asking for sick leave."
"You have one over there too?" Upon hearing this, the team leader was a little surprised.
"What, you have one over there too?" The second team leader looked up in confusion.
“What’s more, it’s only been a week, and already four or five people in the team I’m responsible for have asked for sick leave! Dasha, who drives the forklift, is such a good-looking guy. I haven’t seen him in so many years. I was sick, and you came to ask for leave yesterday!"
"You two also asked for leave?" Hearing the words of these two people, the other team leader was also a little surprised: " I thought I was the only one asking for leave.”
“In the past few days, two people from my engineering team have asked for leave.”
After hearing this, the three of them were a little confused, but they didn't take it too seriously.
After all, the weather has changed a lot recently. The weather has dropped from more than 30 degrees to more than 10 degrees. It is inevitable that the body will not adapt.
Even they have been feeling out of tune recently.
The three team captains are discussing here, wanting to continue digging deeper into the foundation according to the elegant middle-aged man's instructions.
While the three of them were discussing here, they did not notice at all that there was an invisible breath in the cold rain all over the sky, accompanying their breathing and gradually spreading to their bodies. In the body
Lin Laosan at the construction site has been feeling a little heavy recently.
As a man who works hard on construction sites all year round, Lin Laosan did not suspect that there was something wrong with his body. He just thought that the temperature difference had been too great recently, causing him to catch a cold.
Carrying heavy electric drills and other equipment, Lin Laosan and six or seven other workers reached the bottom of the foundation through a rope.
They need to measure a lot of data here, dig out and smooth out some irregularities, and drill a few more holes in the ground so that the heavy excavation equipment can accurately locate the excavation site.
Industrial computing is not as accurate as human labor in some places.
Coming down the working ropeway, Lin Laosan shivered with excitement.
"Hey, it's really cold in here, at least 12 or 3 degrees Celsius, right?"
"Who says it's not?" Wang Laoer beside him raised his head and looked at the hole above. Under the dark clouds, he tightened his clothes: "It's like following him into the air-conditioned room."
There were workers nearby who wanted to talk, and the leader, Zhang Da, frowned and spoke.
“Stop talking and get to work.”
After hearing this, everyone shrugged and quickly started working.
Precision measuring instruments and heavy-duty impact drills sounded together in this underground pit.
Noisy noises and the roar of machines echoed beneath the foundation, humming endlessly.
Although Lin Laosan and Wang Laoer both have primary school education, they have been working on the construction site for decades.
The precise measuring techniques and exquisite technical painting are simply not comparable to those of college students majoring in civil engineering.
In this irregular underground pit, a rough range was measured, and the layout depth and demand for steel bars and cement were estimated
This effort was based on twenty or thirty years of experience. It can't be measured at all.
It didn’t take long before the foundation survey was completed.
Seemingly seeing that the progress of the work had improved a lot, the leader's wide-open expression relaxed and he tightened his tight coat.
“You know, it seems that this place was originally a Taoist temple. It is quite famous in Nancheng and is called Baiyun Temple.”
"I know, I know." When a man who looked about thirty years old heard this, he spoke while operating the instrument: "It seems that during the demolition, our company even called thugs if we didn't want to do the demolition. As a result, It seems that they were all knocked down by a psychopath in the Taoist temple.”
“Yes, I’ve heard that too. This psychopath seems to be very vicious in his attacks, crushing the hands and feet of those thugs. It’s outrageous.”
Zhang Da nodded. He had heard about this too, but he didn’t know whether it was true or not.
"However, the old Taoist priest always came to remind us a few days ago that there is something down here. Is there really something there? I have been uncomfortable sleeping recently."
"Huh? You feel it too? I've been feeling a little uncomfortable lately. When I sleep, I always feel like something is drilling inside my head." Wang Laoer suddenly spoke.
"Have you gone to the hospital for a checkup?" Zhang Da was confused.
“I went, but the doctor said that I’m fine at all, maybe I just have a cold.” Wang Laoer touched his head and said: “But I’ve been thinking about it for so many years, and I haven’t had a cold either.”
While several people were discussing and working.
The engineering electric drill in Lin Laosan's hand, who had been working hard in the distance and couldn't talk, suddenly collapsed.
As if something hard had suddenly been drilled into it, it jumped out of the soil, causing a burst of pain in his jaw.
Squatting down with bared teeth, Lin Laosan looked at the hole he dug in confusion.
"Huh?"
"What is this?"
"Zhang Da, Wang Lao Er, come and see, what is this?"
< br>As Lin Laosan shouted, everyone walked up curiously.
However, when they looked down the hole drilled by Lin Laosan, they were suddenly a little surprised.
“Huh?”
“What is this?”
“Rock?”
“This is a stone, but why is it black? ? Coal, not like it.”
They spoke in confusion.
Because what appeared in the entrance of the cave was an uneven stone. The stone was completely black and had a smooth surface. There were crystal-like protrusions in many places. It looked crystal clear, like a piece of stone. Like good gems.
Seeing this, everyone was a little surprised.
What is this rock?
They have been dealing with the earth for half their lives. They have dug out all kinds of rocks and soil, but they have never seen such crystal clear rocks, which are still black. of.
"What kind of treasure is it?"
"Obsidian?"
"Your obsidian is so hard? Can it block an engineering impact drill?"
It's not completely blocked. It can still be drilled in after a few drills.
“It looks a bit like marble, yes! It looks a bit like quartz, but why is it black?”
"And the hardness is much harder than quartz stone."
Everyone started discussing and became curious.
Could it be that some gem was really dug up?
This is not unknown in rumors in the engineering community before, but it seems that they have never encountered it before!
“Quick!”
"dig and take a look!"
Everyone became a little excited. Although the things they dug up may not necessarily belong to themselves, they always had a share of credit.
Hearing this, Lin Laosan and several other people carrying engineering drills immediately stood up and began to dig nearby with this point as the center.
However, what they did not expect was that this time when their drill bits were drilled, they all drilled out this kind of black quartz!
The leader, Zhang Da, was stunned, took Lin Laosan's drill bit, and ran to the distance to drill hard!
However, what surprised everyone was that this time the drilling hit still hit the hard black quartz!
“This is. a whole piece of quartzite!”
Seeing this scene, everyone’s eyes suddenly widened!
What exactly is going on?
Such a big piece of quartzite?
They have never heard that quartz can develop into a whole rock!
And why is this quartz black?
The hardness is also wrong. Even an engineering impact drill can’t penetrate it?
They looked at each other and did not continue to deal with it. Instead, they hurried back to the top and reported to the team leader.
The three team captains who were smoking beside the construction site were stunned when they heard this.
After walking down, I was immediately stunned by this unknown black stone!
"Good guy, this thing is really not small. What kind of stone is this?!"
They did not dare to neglect and hurriedly brought the deputy manager of Shu District who was responsible for the development here.
The elegant middle-aged man came down wearing a construction hat, frowned and patted the dirt on his body, but when he saw the black stone underground, his pupils suddenly shrank!
“Is this quartz stone?”
"It's very similar. The composition seems to be quartz, but although the quartz is darker, it's not that black. It's almost ink."
Picking up a piece of rock that was dug out, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up. got up. The old Taoist priest had been saying not to dig deep. Could it be that he knew there was a treasure buried underground?
Haha, you are still talking about suppressing something here, it is simply outrageous!
Does anyone in this world really believe in so-called monsters?
The middle-aged man didn't know, but he didn't believe it anyway.
If there really were monsters and monsters in this world, he would still be alive today.
Immediately there was no hesitation at all, the middle-aged man gave the order directly!
“Dig it up and take a look!”
“Yes!”
After hearing this order, the three team captains suddenly became excited!
They only called Zhang Dalin Lao San and others, personally found a group of confidants, carried engineering drills, and started working quickly on this piece of black quartz stone.
They even used large-scale machinery and equipment to drill holes into this dark quartzite!
But what they didn't expect was that the hardness and thickness of the black quartz far exceeded their imagination.
After spending a whole day and night, they only dug a hole of less than half a meter in this thick piece of dark quartz stone!
Seeing all this, almost everyone was dumbfounded!
What is going on?
This quartz stone is too hard. Is there something wrong?
At the same time, they also detected through detection that there was a hollow pit underneath this huge piece of quartzite!
Hollow potholes!
When seeing this test report, almost everyone's pupils shrank!
What is going on?
Why is there a hollow pothole down here?
What’s in this?
The curiosity of countless people has been severely aroused!
At the same time, they also wondered, where did these quartz stones come from and why were they so hard?
Although Nancheng is not a famous city in China, it does have a good geology university that ranks among the top in the country. Many professors have extremely high authority in the fields of geology and minerals.
In order to ensure that the characteristics of this quartz could be perfectly detected, the middle-aged man went out of his way to find an old professor of geology and mineralogy with a piece of quartz stone.
At first, the old professor didn’t pay much attention to the news that the middle-aged man was coming to visit him.
However, after the middle-aged man took out a piece of dark quartz gravel and introduced its properties, the old professor's eyes suddenly widened!
"??????"
"Is there such a quartz stone in the world?!"
He stood up hurriedly, took the quartz from the middle-aged man's hand, and carefully identified it After the episode, his pupils suddenly contracted!
“Is it really quartz?!”
“Wait a moment, I’ll go check it out.”
The middle-aged man nodded.
The old professor held the stone and left in a hurry.
The detection time is much shorter than the middle-aged man imagined.
It took only about a cup of tea, but the old professor hurried back and spoke to the middle-aged man with a horrified expression!
“Here, where did you get these quartz stones?!”
Looking at the old professor's horror, the middle-aged man did not answer, but asked: "What's wrong, is there anything special about this quartz stone?"
"It's more than special!"
" It’s simply incredible!”
The old geology professor said excitedly: “Did you know? Although this quartz stone looks similar to quartz, the order of the molecules and atoms in it is almost ordinary. Sixteen times that of quartz stone!”
“Sixteen times that! I have never seen quartz with this composition!”
The old professor was pacing back and forth in the office excitedly!
“Although the appearance and molecular arrangement are undoubtedly quartz, this rock can no longer be called quartz because its density is too high!”
“The birth of quartz stone is a kind of rock formed by geological factors, tens of millions of years of rock accumulation, crustal pressure, and the condensation of various minerals!”
“ Different pressures and various crustal activities will have different effects on quartz stone.”
“It is difficult for me to imagine what kind of crustal activities and pressures can condense this kind of treasure on the earth. ! ”
The old geology professor shouted excitedly, his eyes almost gleaming with excitement!
“This has never been found in the world!”
“In a sense, the research value of this black quartz stone may be more precious than diamonds and gold! ”
Never found in the world!
The value of research may be more precious than diamonds and gold!
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly shone!
Even the quartzite outside is so precious and hard, so what is in the cavity wrapped in quartzite? !
No wonder the group of old Taoist priests from Baiyun Temple refused to demolish the house and were unwilling to dig deeper. They even said many times that there was something to hold down there
I didn’t expect that there was such a treasure! !
The middle-aged man stood up excitedly, declined the old professor’s offer to go with him to the excavation site, and quickly dialed the phone!
"Dig!!"
"Keep digging!!"
"Go to the company headquarters and call in some more heavy machinery. We must dig through this black quartz stone!"
“If one day is not enough, then it is a week, and if one week is not enough, then it is a month!”
“I want to see what is under this piece of quartzite!”
Following the middle-aged man's order, several more excavation equipment were immediately mobilized and the excavation started together!
With the help of large-scale excavation equipment, the speed of excavation of these quartz stones is finally faster!
Time passes by, and with the passage of time, the thick quartz rock layer has gradually been broken through!
The crazily rotating drill bit continued to dive, constantly bringing out large pieces of black gravel. Looking at the increasingly obvious response to the detection, the many people standing nearby began to breathe a little faster!
Soon!
Soon!
One more moment and you can dig it all out!
It is raining heavily.
Above the small mountains, hundreds of people were immersed in the excitement of digging through the quartzite. No one noticed that the rain in the sky had become heavier at some point.
It was originally a hazy drizzle, but I don’t know when it turned into a heavy rain.
There was already a breeze blowing around, and it gradually turned into a strong wind.
Many animals that had gathered near the mountains seemed to have seen something terrifying, and they began to flee anxiously in the heavy rain.
Even the ants in the ground appeared in the pouring rain and gathered into a huge ant ball to protect the ant king and quickly escape from this chaotic mountain range.
But those who participated in the excavation did not notice any of this.
On the contrary, they seemed to be completely attracted and wanted to dig out everything under the ground crazily.
Their limbs will gradually begin to weaken.
Their breathing gradually began to quicken.
Their chests were pulling like bellows.
Their hearts were beating abnormally and their eyes were gradually becoming bloodshot.
In the heavy rain, they gradually fell into chaos.
As they dug deeper, their actions became increasingly chaotic.
Zhang Da was already lying on the ground at some point, pulling at the earth wildly with both hands. Lin Laosan was carrying an electric drill and drilling crazily on a giant machine. Wang Laoer was carrying a shovel and working hard. He dug the black quartz stone with all his strength, not even realizing that the steel shovel had broken.
The three team captains drove excavation machinery and randomly dug holes near the cave. Even the middle-aged man from before had red eyes and knelt on the ground, beating the black hole with his hands. of quartz.
It rained heavily.
The wind was raging.
Blood and water gathered under the earth, and the crystal black quartz reflected everyone's appearance.
One after another, figures with red eyes were digging wildly on the ground in the heavy rain. Their brains were in chaos, as if they had been completely plunged into chaos.
It’s not even just these people on the construction site.
A vague aura emanated from the mountains and gradually enveloped many surrounding residential areas.
Their expressions gradually began to become manic and impatient.
Countless pet cats and dogs, who used to be aggressive at home, all had a cloud of fear in their eyes.
Erha, who originally would have demolished his house if he didn’t walk for a day, squatted in the corner farthest from the mountains while sobbing.
The naughty cats in the past also trembled and ran to their owners' sides, curling up into a ball in fear.
Even the usually chirping sparrows stopped talking at this time, flapping their wings and fleeing frantically.
Overcast clouds.
It rained heavily.
I don’t know if it was an illusion or an illusion, but a dim and hazy black fog gradually enveloped the entire city.
The clouds in the sky seem to be thicker.
As if within reach.
The thunder gradually shone and swept through this small city together with the strong wind.
At this moment, almost all the living beings who had not yet lost their spiritual awareness noticed a terrifying aura spreading out from the mountains not far away.
Xiao Wu and Weasel, who were practicing in seclusion, woke up from the seclusion almost immediately. They came to the construction site and looked into the distance with ugly expressions.
In their eyes.
The world seems to have changed.
The mountains that were originally sunny and sunny have turned into extremely magnificent five colors at some point.
The rich aura of heaven and earth gushes out from under the earth like a fountain, surging out in all directions like the waves of a river, seeming to dye the entire world into twisted patches of colorful color.
Among these colorful patches, there are also some tiny black mist that cannot be detected.
Like a demon, it gradually began to spread out from the cracks in hell
Looking at the strange mountains that had completely turned into colorful blocks, Weasel and Xiao Wu fought fiercely at the same time. Shivered.
"What's going on?"
"This group of people"
"What did they unearth?"
