Chapter 1429 Loose
Upon hearing what Nie Yao said, the other team members were stunned and asked hesitantly, "Captain, you mean... this damaged place is likely..."
Before they finished speaking, Nie Yao nodded, took over their words with a smile, and replied in a deep voice: "Indeed, the broken corner is a hint left by the priest Senmut. Perhaps the entire dome, which seems to be sealed without a single crack, is only this broken part that can be moved!"
The others nodded in agreement.
"How about this, one of you go up and see if you can loosen this piece and let the moonlight in!" Nie Yao suggested. Actually, she didn't mind going up by herself, but she was not tall enough!
"Captain, let me do it. I'm the tallest!" Jamie, the tallest member of the team, quickly raised his hand and asked Nie Yao for instructions.
"Okay, everyone else, help and bring the climbing ladder!" Nie Yao agreed with a smile and began to call on other team members to bring the foldable stainless steel climbing ladder and place it under the broken corner of the dome mural.
Then two team members held the climbing ladder, and the tallest team member put the hammer in the pocket of his overalls and slowly climbed up.
Nie Yao repeatedly told him to be careful and turn on all the flashlights and emergency lights to provide him with enough light so that he wouldn't step on empty air.
When big guy Jamie finally climbed to the highest point, his hand could just touch the dome.
Everyone raised their heads, held their breath and looked at him, not forgetting to ask with concern: "Jamie, how is it? Is that broken part loose?"
The big man Jamie first felt around with his hands for a moment, then shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I can't tell if it's loose by feeling it with my hands. It looks no different from anywhere else..."
"Jamie, try using your hammer. You definitely can't move the loose rocks with your hands. If there's any movement above or below the ground, it could easily cause a collapse!"
Nie Yao suggested loudly, and the big man Jamie nodded quickly, took out a hammer from his pocket, carefully knocked on the broken corner a few times, and then turned his head to listen to the sound.
He tried tapping a spot that wasn't damaged, comparing it for a moment before lowering his head and smiling at Nie Yao and the other team members standing below, "Captain, you were right. This damaged spot makes a crisp sound, unlike the dull ones elsewhere. It seems this is the thinnest spot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Yao also showed a relieved smile, and encouraged him with a smile: "Very good, Jamie, you can increase your strength!"
The big guy Jamie responded excitedly, and the others standing below also put on goggles and masks to prevent dust from falling into their eyes, noses and mouths!
Jamie tentatively increased his strength little by little. Everyone else, including Nie Yao, was waiting nervously. Sure enough, as he knocked, dust continued to fall.
But no one looked away, continuing to watch with their heads held high. Jamie also frowned, worried that his strength would be too great and damage the dome, but also worried that his strength would be too little and there would be no reaction...
Nearly an hour passed. Not only were the people below tired, but Jamie, standing on the folding ladder, was also extremely exhausted. Sweat even seeped through his clothes.
At this moment, some small stones fell down. Jamie was afraid that his teammates below would be hit, so he shouted loudly: "Be careful, get out of the way--"
