Rebirth of the Star God Agent

Chapter 159: The passage leading to the underground, Anle and Qi Ji entered the passage first

No one knows how complicated their feelings are.

Others who did not choose a vacuum cleaner at the first time were a little upset.

Their ideas were surprisingly consistent with those of Zhai Anle and Qi Ji.

This is called a vacuum cleaner?! This is just a joke! If I'd known it was this powerful, who would care about its image?!

But no one said anything more.

Zhai Anle had divided the ten vacuum cleaners into two teams, with each team using five vacuum cleaners at a time.

Zhai Anle actually has a follow-up plan.

But we have just arrived in Zhuchen, and we don’t know the current situation of the worms yet.

If things aren't going well, he'll pick ten more.

Each team has ten people using the vacuum cleaner at a time. After the shift change, the vacuum cleaner is handed over to the next team for use.

However, the situation is still unclear, so we must distribute our firepower and not put all our eggs in one basket.

Zhai Anle and Qi Ji walked in front.

Here is the excavation camp of the Red Star archaeological team that stayed here before.

The situation is very delicate.

After digging the camp, there was nothing left. Only a large pit left by the digging camp.

At the bottom of the pit is a passage left by the archaeological team.

Zhai Anle, Qi Ji, and everyone else stood at the entrance of the passage and did not go directly down.

In theory, every time an archaeological team excavates a site, they will use reinforcement materials to fix the passage leading to the underground.

However, the size and shape of this passage clearly indicate that it was dug by the archaeological team, but there is no reinforcement material.

The surface of Zhuchen is a desert. It can be said that the surface depth of nearly ten meters is all sand.

Without reinforcement materials, they would not be able to descend into the underground tunnel easily, which would likely cause the tunnel to collapse and bury them under ten meters of sand.

In fact, they were not afraid of being buried under the sand. After all, in addition to the spirit beasts, everyone also brought their own mechas this time.

With the mecha, it was easy for them to rush out of the ten-meter yellow sand.

However, the current situation was vaguely reminding them that the passage was abnormal and they absolutely could not go down easily.

Mo Linfeng and several members of the Qi family who were assigned to logistics were sitting in the observation room of the starship, watching the synchronized images being recorded and projected onto the screen.

Although Mo Linfeng and the logistics staff were not wearing protective clothing, they were all wearing communication devices.

Mo Linfeng, who was most familiar with the materials used in these techniques, spoke quickly and anxiously, "The reinforcement material used by the archaeological team is expanded metal. Due to the special properties of this metal, it is liquid metal in a sprayer before use. It is sprayed onto the wall or the ground. After a certain period of contact with air, even a shallow layer will expand to a thickness of between ten and fifteen centimeters."

Mo Linfeng was nervous. "After expansion, this reinforced metal will reach a hardness of 150-250HB, which fully meets the metal hardness required for construction. But it has a special feature..."

When Mo Linfeng said this, his tone became more serious.

"Its durability is only three months. After three months, the expanded reinforced metal wall will soften, but its appearance will not change. Due to its special properties, archaeological teams and mines often choose to use this expanded metal as a reinforcement material when exploring mines or ruins. Because if there is no harvest in the mine or ruins, they are obligated to restore the passage to its original state. At this time, the hardness of the expanded metal will be much lower, and the texture will be completely different, so it can be easily removed."

Zhai Anle's face darkened. Lei Dexing had been hastily evacuated from Zhuchen while inspecting the ruins. They didn't have the time or opportunity to wait three months to remove the expanded metal material inside.

The fact that the passage was still there was a good indication of this. They had fled in a hurry and had not thought about restoring the passage on a Death Star.

Yin Yuanchi half-knelt down in a place and greeted others.

"There are traces of someone left here."

Zhai Anle and Qi Ji walked over first, and everyone surrounded the area pointed out by Yin Yuanchi.

Everyone could see clearly that it was a metal box buried in the sand. Only a corner was exposed, but Meng Chuan was the first to react.

"It's a sealed box used for biological research. It's exactly the same as the one Bradley used to store the worms for Xu Yanqing. It's of the same specifications. They've been here again, and they might have taken away more worms..."

Zhai Anle's voice was a little hoarse. "They found the worms so easily here. This is not a good sign... It's likely... the worms have reproduced a lot."

Everyone was silent.

Zhai Anle picked up the sealed box. It was one of the evidences they found about Bradley and Xu Yanqing.

Qi Ji took a compression box and put the sealed box away carefully.

Zhai Anle then turned around and looked at the passage again. He asked Mo Linfeng, "Old Mo, do we have the expanded metal you mentioned?"

Mo Linfeng replied, "I brought it. Knowing that the incident occurred at a historical site excavated by the archaeological team, I asked Zhou Zhou to prepare it."

Zhou Zhou was standing in front of the crowd. He had already found the jet that Mo Linfeng had asked him to prepare.

Zhou Zhou took out two spray bottles and placed them on the ground. "I didn't know the situation at first. When Lao Mo mentioned it, time was tight, so I only managed to get ten bottles. But I read the instructions and they say two bottles are enough for a tunnel of this size. I don't know how many we'll need later, so I'll send a message to my aunt and ask her to prepare some more and send them to us."

Zhai Anle nodded, and he and Qi Ji each picked up a bottle of expanding metal sprayer.

"Don't worry, let Aunt Zhou prepare first. We may need other support later. We don't need to set off for now, let's prepare first. Once we understand Zhu Chen's situation, we can discuss supplies."

Zhai Anle and Qi Ji carried the expanding metal jet and walked into the entrance of the underground passage.

Zhai Anle turned around and signaled to everyone, "Leave the original duty team outside to provide support, and the next duty team will return to the starship first to conserve their energy and wait for news."

The people quickly split into two teams, one team stayed at the underground passage entrance and waited, while the other team boarded the aircraft and returned to the starship.

Mo Linfeng was the person responsible for recording and keeping an eye on the synchronized images at all times. He kept a close eye on the perspectives of Zhai Anle and Qi Ji.

After four meters down the tunnel, there was no light. Zhai Anle and Qi Ji turned on the overhead lights on their protective suits.

The light is not glaring, but it is bright.

Zhai Anle and Qi Ji saw the situation in the passage clearly.

When the passage was dug, a layer of natural stone bricks was used. The bricks were spliced ​​with Falcon Mouth grooves, which greatly improved safety.

Zhai Anle and Qi Ji looked at each other, and they turned on the sprayer. Zhai Anle was responsible for the left wall and the ground, and Qi Ji was responsible for the right wall and the top of his head.

The two of them sprayed expanded metal all the way and slowly walked towards the depths of the passage.

The passage is deep and long.

Mo Linfeng was helping them calculate the time and depth of the passage.

Mo Linfeng's expression became increasingly complex. They had already reached a depth of at least 30-50 meters underground.

If something goes wrong at this time, they will need at least 20 seconds to evacuate. The passage is sinking slowly, not in a straight line.

This shows that they have come a long way.

Archaeological teams often have reserved passageways for transporting materials and artifacts. These passageways are straight up and down, making them easier to transport materials and artifacts. However, the location of these passageways is impossible to determine unless you reach the end of the passageway.
