Chapter 276

Everyone heard this and took searchlights to shine on the ground ahead.

I saw black skeletons lying on the ground in various strange postures, and the scene exploded instantly.

——【This is too scary, I knew there were unclean things inside, so many dead people, how did they get in at that time? Is this ghost place for ancient sacrifices? And why is there so much water inside! Is there water in the volcano too?】

——【Of course volcanoes have water. Although there is magma under the volcano, the magma is not on the top of the mountain, otherwise it would erupt at any time. If I'm not mistaken, this position is exactly where the volcano stores groundwater. As for why there is this cave and skeletons, I'm afraid only Fang Yang can solve the mystery.】

——【Today is simply a large-scale disaster scene, first the ancient city, now another cave, and it's full of dead people. Don't tell me these are also people from the Han Dynasty? Could it be that they all died in the volcanic eruption 2,000 years ago?】

——【I found that after staying in Fang Yang's live broadcast room for a long time, I gradually developed the habit of being calm. Now many things in life can't shock me, because I'm already numb. Things that you can't encounter in a lifetime can be seen here every day. Habit becomes nature, and my heart is tempered into steel!】

Under the illumination of the searchlight, the postures of these skeletons lying on the ground are very weird.

Some are blocking with their hands, some are curled up, and some are pressed by stones.

It is clear that through the various scenes at the scene, it can be seen that they all died in accidents.

Before death, they were all struggling to escape.

The members of the survey team chatted suspiciously: "Is this the same as the situation outside? Did they all die here because they didn't have time to escape from the volcanic eruption?"

"Possible, but it's not certain yet. We have to let the archaeological experts outside identify the age of these skeletons."

Fang Yang shook his head: "No need to guess, they didn't die in the same batch as the ancient city outside!"

154. The gold mine from a thousand years ago, a pool of clear water, crazy escape (Seeking subscription)

Just now, Fang Yang learned through the system panel that these people all died in a landslide during the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, he also understood what this cave was for.

The previous weirdness was also all understood.

The geological survey team looked at Fang Yang suspiciously, wanting to get the answer from him.

Coincidentally, Team Wang, Chen Feng, and the supervisor of the scenic spot also drilled in.

When they saw the scene inside, they couldn't help but exclaim.

When seeing the skeletons on the ground, especially the supervisor, he was so scared that he wanted to run back on the spot.

If it weren't for the many people here, he would probably have been scared to faint.

Fang Yang sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "These people died here during the Ming Dynasty."

One of them asked curiously: "What are they doing? Why come here! Is this an ancient tomb?"

"Should not be, there is not a single burial object here, nor a coffin, and it can be seen that the death state of the corpses at that time should be very miserable."

Fang Yang replied lightly: "They are all miners! As for the cause of death, I believe you can see it too, died in a landslide. Their entrance is above, coming in from the crater, so they couldn't run away at all when the disaster occurred. Landslide plus so many years have passed, the entrance has long been sealed."

"Miners?"

Everyone exclaimed.

"Is there a mine inside?"

"It should be. The mineral resources in the volcano are very rich, but it's not worth taking such a big risk to run here to mine!"

"I don't see any mines in this place? Could it be a coal mine? How can there be coal mines in a volcano."

After a burst of discussion, everyone looked at Fang Yang again.

Fang Yang smiled: "If it's just an ordinary mine, it's really not worth running in here to mine, it's very dangerous, but what if it's a gold mine!"

"Gold mine!!"

Now everyone was stunned.

It doesn't look like there is a gold mine inside, it's full of stones.

But some people raised questions: "How do you know these? You can't just look at it and know there is a gold mine!"

Fang Yang suddenly choked, and could only make up a reason: "I read the county annals before, it is recorded that this gold mine has existed since the Tang Dynasty, experienced the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and the process of mining in the middle lasted for a full thousand years, until a landslide later made this place completely buried."

"If you don't believe it, you can pick up a stone on the ground and test it to see the gold content inside, and you will know whether what I said is true or not!"

This is not his nonsense, but a system prompt.

So even if they check history, the result will be the same.

Everyone believed what Fang Yang said.

But testing is still necessary. Someone immediately picked up a pile of stones from the ground and drilled out to analyze the results with instruments.

But for now, it only explains why this cave exists and does not explain why there is black carbon.

It can't be that they left it here after burning fire and cooking, that wouldn't dye the water black.

And how big this cave is and where it leads is also an unknown.

Fang Yang walked to the slanted stone wall and touched it: "I don't know if you have heard of the burning explosion method?"

Everyone was confused when they heard this, even Chen Feng hadn't heard of it.

Most of the geological survey team didn't know either.

"Seems to have heard of it, but forgot what it is for."

It's normal for them not to know, after all, there is a specialty in the art industry.

If it were a specialized miner, it might be possible to answer.

Fang Yang smiled and pointed to the dark charcoal on the ground: "Aren't you curious, how did the ancients mine? We have a lot of high technology in modern times, what did the ancients use to chisel open such hard walls to mine?"

The supervisor was the first to speak: "I see those slaves in the mine on TV, don't they just use hammers or something to smash it open, and then move it away!"

Chen Feng shook his head: "That's an open-pit mine, it's different. This is a cave. If you use a hammer to smash it, it's very difficult, and if you operate it improperly, it's easy to have a mining disaster."

"Can't use explosives to blow it up?"

"That's even more unreliable. Not to mention whether the explosives at that time could blow open this stone, even if it blew open, it would be easy to collapse."

A group of people discussed one sentence after another.

But in the end, there was no perfect plan.

Fang Yang smiled: "Actually, it's very simple. The burning explosion method uses the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. First, use firewood to burn the big stone, and after burning to a certain temperature, use cold water to suddenly extinguish it. At this time, the stone can be taken down by gently knocking it with a drill!"

"So there is so much charcoal in this cave, it was all left by them burning stones back then. As for the water and the skull turning black, it is naturally the influence of charcoal."

——【I'm going, it turns out it's that simple? Before, it was so weird that I thought I was entering the ancient tomb of the high priest like the movie Mummy, and I might have summoned the monsters inside. It's just that there is a gold mine inside, which is indeed unimaginable. Who had a big brain and thought of running to the volcano to mine.】

——【The wisdom of the ancients is much higher than we imagined, just like the previous astronomical map stone tablet. In that era without industrialization, many things can only be done by manpower. But I am very curious about how they refined this gold mine? It can't be burned directly with fire.】

——【Did you notice just now that the burning explosion method requires water, where does the water come from on this volcano? If you transport water from the foot of the mountain, I feel that the difficulty of this project is too great. Thinking about the water leakage here before, could it be that this place is the groundwater storage mouth of the volcano?】

——【Gold mine, now the Mineral Resources Department will be happy again, but do they dare to use explosives to blast and mine in this place! If they accidentally blow up the volcano below, then it will be cool.】

After listening to Fang Yang's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

Now all the weirdness is explained clearly.

Whether it is the cave, the skeleton, or the charcoal, they can all be well connected and explained clearly.

At the same time, I have to sigh at the wisdom of the ancients. In that era, they knew how to use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to mine.

This is not only safe but also much easier.

Although they hadn't heard of this burning explosion method, everyone understood the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. According to Fang Yang's explanation, even without experiments, they could guess that it must be useful.

Just at this moment, the survey team members who drilled out drilled back.

His face was full of surprise: "Good news!! It really is a gold mine! And the data I just tested shows that the gold content per ton of ore is as high as hundreds of grams!!"

Wow~~

As soon as the voice fell.

The other members of the geological survey team were shocked, all of them full of shock and surprise!

Excitedly hugging each other and dancing, wishing to hold a celebration banquet immediately.

Someone immediately took out their mobile phone and wanted to call Minister Sun of the Mineral Resources Department to report the news of the discovery of a gold mine here.

Chen Feng and others were a little confused. These people were like crazy after knowing about the gold mine.

Even if a gold mine is discovered, it shouldn't be crazy. A ton is only a few hundred grams, it doesn't sound like much!

Fang Yang's mouth showed a faint smile, quietly watching the few people celebrating in front of him.

They don't understand, but Fang Yang knows what that sentence meant just now.

You know, in the 1970s, the gold content per ton of ore was basically a few grams, and eight grams could be considered a rich mine.
