Chapter 263 There is space below

This set of combined Luoyang shovels is not only exquisitely made, but also very reasonably designed. In addition to the components of the Luoyang shovel, there are two separate parts.

One is the pad for downward shoveling, and the other is for the reverse pad when shoveling upward.The main function of these two hitting pads is to place them on the top of the Luoyang shovel, so that when the shovel is smashed down with a hammer, the threads inside the steel pipe will not be damaged.

The hitting pad used when lowering the shovel is a thick iron sheet, on which is welded a small steel column slightly thinner than the inner diameter of the steel pipe. When using it, just insert this steel column into the pipe, and then hit it hard Hitting this piece of iron, the Luoyang shovel will go deep into the soil under the force of the beating.

When the tip of the shovel is about to fall into the soil, take off the hitting pad, then connect another steel pipe, put it into the hitting point, continue to smash down, and then connect another steel pipe.As long as there is a steel pipe, theoretically speaking, this shovel can go deep into the soil all the time.

When you lift the shovel upwards, you use a striking pad similar to this one, but the small steel post welded to it is threaded to fit the inside diameter of the steel pipe.When in use, just insert this steel column into the steel pipe, tighten the thread, and then hit it upwards with a hammer. The Luoyang shovel nailed in the soil several meters deep will follow the hammer. Little by little rise up.

After a whole steel pipe is completely off the ground, carefully remove the steel pipe, screw the upward hitting point on the lower steel pipe, and hit it upwards again.The Luoyang shovel buried in the soil will be lifted out little by little.

After tentatively combining the various parts of the Luoyang shovel, after researching and understanding the general method of use of the combined Luoyang shovel, Chen Ziyang took a few steel pipes and hitting pads and jumped into the three-meter-long hole he had been digging before. In the deep pit.

The location of this earth pit is roughly located in the center of the entire collapsed area. This is the place Chen Ziyang selected to dig the robbery hole before. It is the most suitable place to start the first shovel here.

Li Bojian stood beside the big pit and helped Chen Ziyang pass him the other steel pipes.Originally, Chen Ziyang was full of confidence in the place he chose, but when the tenth steel pipe was knocked into the soil, Chen Ziyang couldn't feel his pulse. This grave cannot be so deep!

The ten steel pipes plus the shovel head of the Luoyang shovel are already 11 meters away, plus the three-meter-deep pit he dug before, that is to say, the shovel head has reached a position 14 meters below the surface .

Although Chen Ziyang thought that the tomb was likely to be deep below the surface, the depth of 14 meters was too exaggerated. With suspicion, Chen Ziyang nailed three steel pipes in.

At a distance of 17 meters, when hitting the Luoyang shovel, Chen Ziyang could feel that the harder he hits, the greater the strength required. That is to say, the tip of the Luoyang shovel is always in the soil and has not penetrated into the ground. in a certain space.

There is no need to smash down anymore, there must be no tombs below, Chen Ziyang felt a little lost, and then he lifted out the Luoyang shovel nailed in little by little, every time he took out a piece of steel pipe from the soil, Chen Ziyang Carefully unload this section of steel pipe to prevent excessive loss of the soil preserved in the center of the steel pipe, and place these steel pipes at his feet in the order they were raised.

On the side of each steel pipe, there is a small section inlaid with tempered glass. This section of tempered glass almost runs through the body of the steel pipe. From here, you can directly see the appearance of the soil preserved in the center of the steel pipe.

After the Luoyang shovel was fully pulled out, the first thing Chen Ziyang checked was the soil stored in the head of the Luoyang shovel.The soil in the shovel head is very normal, without other things mixed in. At the same time, the soil mixed in is nothing special except that it is slightly moist.

So Chen Ziyang looked at all the soil preserved in the bodies of other Luoyang shovels, and compared them one by one in order. There was an obvious separation of soil layers at the eighth steel tube.Comparing the upper soil with the lower soil, it can be found that the upper soil is obviously less dense and has more gaps, while the lower soil is more compact.

Seeing the obvious separation of the soil layers, Chen Ziyang knew that he had guessed correctly. The height of the backfill should be more than ten meters away. That is to say, the soil below had not been disturbed.This is really strange. The location of this deep pit should be in the very center of the backfill area. Why is there no tomb below it?

After thinking for a long time, Chen Ziyang slapped himself on the forehead, he was really confused!How could such a large project of excavating an underground tomb be excavated directly above the tomb?What they want to dig should be the tomb door, or a certain side of the tomb passage.

In other words, the place where one can really enter the mausoleum should be at the edge of the backfill area, not at the very center.This huge backfill area was originally supposed to be used for storage of equipment, or for personnel turnover. If you really want to explore the edge of this tomb, you must look for it at the edge of the backfill area.

After thinking about this, Chen Ziyang kicked and shaved all the soil in the Luoyang shovel, and returned to the ground with the empty steel pipe and shovel head. After carefully observing the surrounding environment again, Chen Ziyang chose Several other locations for the next Luoyang shovel were identified.

With the experience of using the Luoyang shovel before, and with the approximate estimate of the depth of the tomb, Chen Ziyang used this Luoyang shovel again, which can be said to be handy. Every time he smashed into twelve steel pipes, , Chen Ziyang will take out the shovel, and then carefully check the soil inside.

He lowered the shovel two more times in succession, but Chen Ziyang didn't notice anything until he hit the Luoyang shovel at the third selected shoveling spot, when he went down with a hammer, he suddenly felt that the shovel dropped a bit more.The feeling from the hammer told Chen Ziyang that the Luoyang shovel must have entered a certain underground space.

He smashed two hammers at the root of the steel pipe again. Chen Ziyang obviously felt that the force of the two hammers was the same as that used before, but the speed of the shovel fell much faster, so Chen Ziyang quickly shoveled Luoyang up. Come out and look carefully at the soil inside.

There is no soil at all in the last section of the steel pipe, and there is only half a pipe of soil in the penultimate section of the steel pipe. It seems that my guess is correct, there is indeed a space below.
