Chapter 1692 (1/2)
”It should be here. That's right.” The mage took the map and compared it for half a day.
The strong man looked around and said, ”but the area is not small! Doesn't the map say exactly where it is? ”
”You don't have to bring so many people here.” Cook said, throwing a shovel to the strong man. ”Go and dig around. Since there is a mission, there must be clues nearby.”
”Oh, indeed. My big bear was reduced to be a miner
”What? Do you despise miners Cook asked in a bad tone.
”Hey, I didn't mean you.” When the strong man spoke, he raised the shovel in his hand and laughed and laughed, ”dig a hole and dig a hole!”
After the strong man and cook began to dig the pit, the mage also asked other people around to start digging. This is the first time I have seen more than 400 people digging pits together. Although there were more people in Eisinger's trenching group before, I had been robbing materials all day, and I didn't see any digging at all.
It has to be said that although this group of Russians' methods are a bit silly, the effect is good. It took more than two hours to dig from the afternoon to the evening, and the gang finally found the clue at the last moment of sunset.
When a NPC went down with a spade, he didn't shovel out the stone. Instead, he bounced the spade, and there was an echo from the ground, similar to the sound of metal impact. ”Leader, there's a situation here.” The NPC immediately called out after finding out that the situation was wrong.
After digging for more than two hours, cook and they were already bored. Now as soon as they heard of the situation, they threw the spade and rushed to the NPC shouting.
”Have you found anything?”
”I don't know for the time being, but I didn't shovel it just now. It seems that the bottom is made of metal.”
”Metal?” On hearing this, the master called the strong man over. ”Bear, you dig.”
”OK.” When the strong man promised, he quickly took the shovel and began digging. But when he shoveled it, he shoveled it into the metal. After Cook reminded him to dig along the surface soil, he lifted all the surrounding areas.
Originally, cook thought that what they dug would not be too big, but what they did not expect was that with the bear's cleaning, the exposed part of the metal under the ground was actually part of a door panel.
”It's like a door?” Said the bear, looking at the small area he had dug out.
”There must be a tunnel down here. This is probably the entrance of the tunnel.” The master said, ”it seems that we have found the right one. Come on, everybody. Dig out the entrance. Come on
Under the command of the mage, the stronger people around him began to dig the earth, while the mage who had nothing to do was to light them up by lighting. In the efforts of several people who started digging, the ground was soon stripped away, but they were more and more frightened.
Originally, the mages thought that what they had dug out just now was just a part of the gate. Everyone thought that the whole door could be dug out and opened soon. However, with the excavation, the exposed part showed that the area of the door was a little frightening. The reason why they thought it was a door before was mainly because they found the knocker, but now they find that it is not the knocker at all, but the decoration on the door. This huge pure copper door plate is arranged horizontally and vertically with a meter interval, just like the copper nails inlaid on the gate of ancient Chinese palaces, but there are rings on the copper nails here.
”Is this for the giant? It's a little too big, isn't it? ” Looking at the part that had been dug out, the bear was surprised: ”according to this volume, this door is at least 30 meters wide.”
”No, we're in the wrong direction.” The master said, ”thirty meters is the height of a door panel. China's gates are double door panels, and the door height is generally slightly shorter than the width. This door panel should be 30 meters high, and the width of a single door panel should not be less than 40 meters. Otherwise, it will not conform to the architectural habits of Chinese people. ”
”Isn't this gate more than 80 meters wide?” Asked the bear in surprise.
”Not necessarily.” Cook said: ”although the building habits generally don't change much, it's a thousand years old thing. Who knows what specifications it's made to? But one thing for sure is that this door is not very small. ”
In fact, as Cook said, the door was not too small, but after they cleaned it out, they found that the door was not built according to their imagination. In fact, the door was not opened horizontally or vertically, but opened in four directions. After confirmation, the whole door is composed of four door panels, and the gap in the middle is just a lying H-shaped door, and this door is not a common open and close door panel, but a retractable one. At the bottom of the gate is a 100 meter wide and 30 meter high whole door panel. The opening mode of this door panel is downward rather than opening inward or sliding left and right. On top of this bottom door panel are two door panels 50 meters wide and 30 meters high. The two door panels as like as two peas are placed together, but they are made of two boards, and the way of opening is sliding on both sides. For as like as two peas, the top door panel is exactly the same as the bottom one, but the way it opens is to go up.The four door panels make up a rectangular gate with a width of 100 meters and a height of 90 meters. However, this door is not erected on the ground, but is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees according to the trend and horizontal plane of the slope where it is located, and it is covered with a layer of soil and rock. What the NPC dug before was actually the top of the door, where the soil layer was the thinnest. So he dug two shovels and hit the door panel. The bottom of the door was almost buried, which was more than two meters deep. If the upper door panel had not been extended all the time, it would have been very difficult to find it from the bottom of the door.
In order to dig out the gate completely, cook and his team have been digging from the sun just after sunset until more than 10 o'clock in the night, which is thanks to the large number of them. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to dig such a big door completely.
After opening the gate completely, the mage immediately took the map to look for it. Finally, he found a small hole in the middle of the top of the door. This small hole, which can't even be inserted into a human arm, is so small relative to the size of the whole door that you can't even notice it.
