Chapter 1239: Underwater Cave
At this time, Guan Yun had already put the simple boat he had made before on the lakeside.
The boat he made was just big enough for four people.
"Not bad." Looking at his craftsmanship, even the picky old Hei expressed admiration.
For other people who don’t need to go into the water, all the things that should be prepared are put on the boat at this time.
For a while, Guan Yun was in charge of rowing, and the other three were in charge of diving.
The rest were watching from the shore.
Because of the tight schedule, we couldn't make two ships.
Lin Ran took advantage of this time to find some driftwood with Huang Hao and simply tied them up.
Because in the center of the lake, there are no trees to tie up.
In case of danger, you have to rely on the life rope on your body.
People who dive into the water only need to shake the life rope, and the people on the boat will pull them down.
But this boat is just a simple boat. It is probably not easy to maintain balance, and it has to resist the resistance of the water.
So it’s important to have some driftwood nearby for tying ropes.
Lin Ran also felt that archaeological work in this era was too difficult.
If it were them, they would have already prepared speedboats, diving suits and the like.
After the breakfast was almost digested, the work of several people began.
Guan Yun held the boat and sent Lao Hei, Jin Peng and Xu Ning to the center of the lake.
Lin Ran asked about Huang Hao's recent situation.
Huang Hao said: "Actually, this is not a geomantic treasure land. According to geomantic omen, this should be considered a dangerous place."
He said with some worry.
"We just went down to take a look. If we don't find anything, we will leave immediately." Lin Ran said.
Below is not an ancient tomb, but an ancient city.
Lin Ran thought so.
Then he asked about the recent situation.
As expected, because there are often storms in summer, few people come to the lake.
Even Mr. Dolau didn't come over after picking up stones last time.
Lin Ran nodded. Just as they were chatting, the boat had already arrived at the center of the lake.
There is a water float on it, a mark left by their previous exploration.
It was now seven in the morning and the water was still a little cold, but for these strong men, they were ready.
Wang Jinpeng put on his swimming suit and carried simple diving equipment on his back.
He looked at it as a device and found it a little funny.
“Can I still go into the water with this thing on my back?”
"Don't worry, he can ensure your basic breathing underwater." Guan Yun said.
He had seen formal diving equipment in the army, but he didn't expect that they could use simple props and make them look decent.
Wang Jinpeng took it on and tried it.
Asked: "How long can the air in here last?"
"This is not a bottle. There are chemicals inside that will react to generate oxygen." Guan Yun actually didn't understand it at all.
Lin Ran had already explained it yesterday, but with Wang Jinpeng's level of knowledge, it was really difficult to understand.
However, one thing he could be sure of was that Lin Ran would not deceive him.
After putting on the equipment, Wang Jinpeng tied a safety rope on himself and dived into the water.
Others were on standby on the ship, reminding: "Jinpeng, please pay attention to safety."
Wang Jinpeng didn't give others a chance to talk and dived directly into the water.
Lin Ran knew that he was having his old problem again, so he held his forehead.
In the tomb, it is okay to have such courage.
But this is getting into the water, it is a matter of life, how can it be a child's play.
After he comes up, Lin Ran will criticize him severely.
Ask him to remember that everyone else is doing it for his own good, even if Wang Jinpeng doesn't like to hear it.
At this time, Wang Jinpeng had already dived into the water. To his surprise, he could actually breathe underwater.
He was overjoyed with the device, which, even more conveniently, came with a headlight.
In order to prepare waterproof facilities, they went to material stores to buy waterproof coatings and high-pressure glass.
Can withstand water pressure and provide light.
However, this is a simple underwater headlamp after all, and the light source it can provide is very limited.
The visibility underwater was originally very low, and only faint light could be seen in this large area.
Wang Jinpeng found it strange that there was not even a single fish in such a big lake.
On the contrary, there were many strange bugs swimming around in the water, and I felt numb, so I drove them away.
With this set of equipment, Wang Jinpeng can dive down freely.
Before, he had to hold his breath all the time, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
This equipment allows him to breathe underwater. Although it is still a little uncomfortable, at least his activities will not be restricted.
After he entered the water, Xu Ning also followed.
They couldn't communicate underwater and had to use hand signals.
Xu Ning's gesture was for Wang Jinpeng to lead the way, while he followed behind.
Although they were all here for the first time, Wang Jinpeng had experience after all.
Wang Jinpeng made a "no problem" gesture and said, "Don't swim under the water."
The light gradually dimmed, and after more than ten meters, there was not much visibility underwater.
Even with the light of a flashlight, it can only illuminate a distance of less than two or three meters in front of me.
Just like in the previous ancient tomb, there was nothing to see because there was no reference.
However, Wang Jinpeng relied on instinct and saw that the water flow was a little strange.
He swam there and reached a depth of 20m.
Guan Yun shouted loudly on the lake.
A Ming clenched his fists and said to Lin Ran: "Brother Lin, 20 meters should be the limit."
If they continue to dive, their simple diving equipment may be crushed directly by the water pressure.
Lin Ran asked Guan Yun to give Wang Jinpeng a signal to stop going deeper.
Guan Yun wanted to give Wang Jinpeng a signal by shaking the rope.
But they misjudged one thing. The vibration of the rope had no effect at all under this water depth.
This is the limitation of the times. If they have wireless devices, they can communicate through radio waves.
But now, they have lost contact with Wang Jinpeng.
Wang Jinpeng could shake the rope to activate the buoys on the lake to remind them to pull themselves up.
But the people above were unable to pass on the information.
They were swimming in the lake, and it was impossible to feel how deep it was.
I just feel that the surrounding light is getting darker and darker.
Xu Ning was the first to feel something was wrong. He looked back at the bag on his back and saw that it had some signs of being squashed.
He pulled Wang Jinpeng from behind and signaled him not to continue moving forward.
However, Wang Jinpeng disagreed and pointed to the mountain he saw when he was unconscious.
Xu Ning was also stunned. They were now less than three meters away from the mountain.
Through the weak flashlight light, they found an oval-shaped cave right in front of them.
