Chapter 288 Crawler Excavation Equipment

Among the classifications of Maoshan Seventh Masters, Chen Ziyang felt that the most difficult thing to learn was the knowledge of Maoshan Star Masters.The old Taoist once left a lot of Maoshan classics, which covered part of the knowledge of each classification of Maoshan Seven Masters, and Chen Ziyang almost read all of these books.

Although he just skimmed through many things in the book, he was not proficient, but he could get a general idea.However, Chen Ziyang only gave up after reading the first booklet about Maoshan Star Master.

The words and sentences in the book are not only obscure, but also very profound.Originally, Chen Ziyang wanted to study carefully, but when he found that the Maoshan star master's classic was only written by Maoshan's descendants based on the beginning of a fragment, it was the most elementary of all the star master's classics. At that time, Chen Ziyang gave up completely.Not everyone can do this job of Maoshan Star Master, at least he thinks that he will never be able to do it.

So at this time, Chen Ziyang saw Instructor Liu standing in the distance measuring the positions and angles of the stars with a sextant while counting with his fingers. Only then did Chen Ziyang know that this Instructor Liu was still He has the ability to watch the stars, but I don't know how good he is.

The law of Guan Xing is all-encompassing and ever-changing.One of the most basic applications in astrology is to determine the position of the mark through the position and angle of the stars. This is somewhat similar to the dragon-seeking formula in Fengshui, except that the dragon-seeking formula relies on the position of the landscape, plus 24 Mountains are used to record geographical locations, while astrology uses the positions and angles of stars.

The ancients have long discovered that in different seasons, the position of the same star in the sky is different.Therefore, it is more difficult to simply use stars to mark the position of a certain location, and the angle of the stars must be added.Therefore, it is only the most basic application of astrology, and it also requires the stargazer to be familiar with the orbits of the stars in different seasons.

Originally, Chen Ziyang wanted to tell Yang Lei secretly, asking him to find a way to get close to Instructor Liu and Yoshioka Yuki, to eavesdrop on what they are talking about now, and it is best to get the formulas they know about ancient treasures , but after carefully looking at the terrain where Instructor Liu and the others were in, Chen Ziyang dismissed the idea.

Probably to prevent others from eavesdropping, the relatively high sand dune chosen by instructor Liu and Ji Gangxiong is very far away from the convoy. In the entire small area, only the car they drove to, and the others are far away. are far away.

Moreover, the surroundings of the two were very open, and there was no shelter at all. Under the bright moonlight, the scenery around the two of them was unobstructed, so there was no way for Yang Lei to approach them secretly.

Looking up at the twinkling stars in the sky, Chen Ziyang found that he didn’t know any other stars and constellations except Orion and the Big Dipper, and Orion was still because of the three stars connected in a straight line on Orion’s waist. It was so obvious that he could remember it.

Looking at the sky full of stars, Chen Ziyang was intoxicated.The air pollution in the current city is severe, coupled with the various lights that flicker at night, the stars that are already covered by sand and dust are even less obvious, so it is difficult to see the night sky in the city.

At this time, in this desert without pollution and no light source, the stars in the sky look very bright and clear. The whole night sky seems to have just been washed with water, and there are so many stars in the night sky. secret.

The beautiful scenery at this time seems to make people feel very peaceful, and there is a feeling of comfort that comes out of nowhere. It is very comfortable and very happy to look at.

However, looking at the dazzling stars in the sky, Chen Ziyang thought about another thing. Although he didn't like Liu instructor very much, and was even very hostile to him, the current Chen Ziyang actually had some I admire Instructor Liu.

This person can endure for 15 years, just for the goal of the treasure of the ancient country, and he has been so dedicated for so many years. This person has such energy, and his attitude can do things well no matter what side he puts on. What people fear most is seriousness. Chen Ziyang now regards Instructor Liu as the most terrifying opponent in his heart.

Thinking about the formula that could manipulate the bloody diamond in his heart, after Chen Ziyang had seen enough of the starry sky, he kept staring at Yoshioka Xiong and Instructor Liu.At this moment, he saw a scene that he couldn't understand.

At this time, Instructor Liu was facing Chen Ziyang with his back, his hands pinched on his waist, and his shoulders were bent together, as if he was talking excitedly, while Yoshioka Yuki standing next to Instructor Liu looked at Liu The instructor looked respectful and nodded from time to time, as if approving instructor Liu's reprimand.

At this moment, Chen Ziyang was a little confused.Why did the identities of these two people seem to be reversed?Yoshioka should be instructor Liu's superior, and instructor Liu has always been respectful to Yoshioka when the two appeared at the same time.All the orders were also given by Yoshioka Yuu, and Instructor Liu was just like a small boss.

But at this time, the scene in front of Chen Ziyang is not the case, because Yoshioka Yu is far away from the two people, and the light at night is not too good, so Chen Ziyang thinks it is probably him Misunderstanding is too subjective. These two people are just having a normal conversation, and they have misunderstood themselves.

After counting the stars for more than an hour, Ji Gangxiong and Instructor Liu drove back to the convoy, and then the entire convoy set off again, and this time the convoy was moving very fast. It seems that Instructor Liu has already determined through the astrology The location of the ruins of the ancient country is now.

However, objects that can use astrology to determine their location are generally relatively large objects, as small as villages and towns, roads, mountains, rivers and valleys.Therefore, using astrology to determine the position of an object has a big disadvantage, that is, the error is very large.Even for a huge object like the ruins of the ancient country, it is very difficult to use astrology to determine the location [-]%.

So along the way, under the command of Instructor Liu, the convoy stopped three times back and forth, and Instructor Liu also went to a high place to observe three times. lead to a location.

It looks like a basin in the desert, but the basin is not surrounded by mountains, and the ground is not sunken.There are some tall sand dunes in the distance around here.These sand dunes have become a natural wind barrier. Such tall sand dunes move very slowly even under the strong wind.

It is precisely because of the existence of these sand dunes that this place is not buried by the sand and gravel blown by the strong wind.Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, but looking at the tall sand dunes in the distance, Chen Ziyang felt that it was very possible that there was something under those sand dunes. The large sand dunes I have seen are much taller.It was precisely because of this that Chen Ziyang felt that Instructor Liu must have found the right place.

Under the command of Instructor Liu and Yoshioka Hsiung, the people in the convoy were divided into two parts.Some people installed those large excavation equipment under the command of Instructor Liu.They unloaded the equipment from the car and started to build it, while Ji Gangxiong led the rest of the people to build a temporary base here that can live for a long time.

The construction of the base is very simple. Yu Yoshioka gathered all the unused vehicles together and formed a big circle.Then dig out the sand in the middle of the circle, so that the circle around the car forms a sheltered depression.Not only can you sleep here, but you can also stockpile some important supplies to prevent them from being blown away by the wind and sand.

The camp where Yoshioka commanded the excavation was completed quickly, but it was not so smooth for Instructor Liu. It was very difficult to assemble the two large excavation equipment, and the equipment was also very large. Until night, Instructor Liu It was arranged to be assembled.

Looking at these two behemoths, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of shock in each other's eyes.too big!These two digging machines are simply too big!Before seeing these two pieces of equipment, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei didn't even know that there was such an excavation equipment in this world, and they didn't even dare to think about it.

Crawler chain bucket excavator, this is Yang Lei's own name for this kind of equipment.The two pieces of equipment are all identical, looking like a long tank track.It's just that this track is much longer than the track of a tank. If the ring of the track is opened, the length of this track is likely to reach 100 meters long.

And on this track, at intervals, a large shovel head similar to the bucket of an excavator is connected to it.The crawler tracks and all the shovel heads are connected to support levers, which are directly connected to various machines in and around the track tracks. The entire two weird excavators are placed obliquely, one side is high and the other is low. .

Before Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei could see the overall structure of this strange equipment, the two excavators moved under the command of instructor Liu.Then the two people saw that with the transmission of the crawler, the buckets dug into the sand under the crawler one by one, and then put the sand upside down in the bucket and transported it to the rear where the crawler was raised. , where soil is poured into empty trucks beneath the excavator.

The whole excavating equipment integrates excavation, transportation and unloading.Seeing the power of the excavating equipment, Chen Ziyang finally understood why Yoshioka Xiong and Liu Instructor had traveled so far to bring these two behemoths here.These two excavation equipment are very convenient, very fast, and most importantly, very efficient.

Each crawler excavator is equivalent to dozens of excavators working at the same time.The sand and soil in one bucket after another were continuously dug out.When the sand under the excavator has been dug clean, the excavator can easily turn around and continue digging downwards.

After staring carefully at the two excavators for a long time, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei finally figured out that these two excavators should be specially used for excavating in the desert.

Regardless of the style or mode of operation of the excavator, it is very suitable for digging up these sandy soils. This crawler-type excavation equipment seems to have been developed for excavation in the desert.

After watching these people busy all day, both Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei were a little tired.The two of them didn't sleep the night before, and they couldn't sleep because of the busy people outside during the day. After discovering that the excavation work might take several days, the two decided to go to sleep first. Sleep.

The two were still sleeping in that carriage. According to their identities, there was no place for them in the center of the camp surrounded by vehicles. Now the truck where the two slept had become part of the camp.But what made Chen Ziyang feel relieved was that the female team doctor who had been following the two of them was gone.

After the team doctor left, the reason why Chen Ziyang was so happy was not because he hated this woman, but because he felt that this person was sent by Instructor Liu or Yoshioka Yu to monitor him.

With this woman around, Chen Ziyang felt awkward. Now that there was finally a space for him and Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang felt relieved, fell asleep there and fell asleep.

Although the voices outside were noisy and the sound of the machine kept roaring, the two people in the carriage slept very soundly.When the two woke up, it was already the morning of the next day, and the two of them even fell asleep and missed breakfast.

Chen Ziyang, who was hungry, looked out of the carriage, and there was no change at all in the entire huge basin except for two larger bunkers.

At the same time, Chen Ziyang also discovered a disadvantage of this crawler excavator, that is, this kind of equipment can only excavate a large area horizontally. If a deep vertical excavation is used, the sand and soil on both sides of the equipment will continue to fall down. Pour into the dug deep pit.Therefore, this kind of excavation equipment can only dig the surface soil one by one. After the entire area has been dug once, dig again and gradually deepen the excavation depth.

Maybe Instructor Liu has also discovered the disadvantages of this equipment, or he knew before that, besides the places where these two machines dig, Instructor Liu also arranged for many people to carry out small-scale excavations in other places .Chen Ziyang even saw several groups of people hitting the bottom of the sand with Luoyang shovels.

Looking around, the entire basin is full of busy people, vehicles, and equipment, but after a night of digging, these people got nothing at all.Although the area of ​​the ruins of an ancient country is not small, compared to the boundless desert, it is still pitifully small.In particular, the location of the ancient country is still determined by astrology, and the error is also very large.

The combination of all these elements makes the work of excavating the ruins of the ancient city very difficult.Chen Ziyang knew that it would not happen overnight to excavate the ruins of this ancient city, so he looked down at his left arm and heaved a long sigh.
