Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned and looked towards the other side of Qibu Lake.
But……
They can't see anything!
Looking at Qibu Lake from the mountain, it is just a small lake embedded in the valley. However, when you really stand next to Qibu Lake, people seem small and Qibu Lake looks huge!
At such a long distance, they couldn’t see the situation on the other side at all, let alone anything else!
"Boss, are you sure something is swimming over here?"
Ah Hu's broken wrist has healed, and this time he came here desperately. He is very happy to be able to fight side by side with his boss, but...
In his eyes, Qibu Lake is very quiet now!
He really couldn't feel anything moving...
"I'm sure of it!"
Xie Zhenting threw the crowbar in his hand and said, "For every one turtle there is probably a whole nest. Let's wait and see!"
Anyway, they are here to explore!
There is no rush in exploration!
If they don’t do the preliminary work well, they won’t be able to carry out the subsequent work!
For a while.
Everyone stood by the Qibu Lake, it was eerily quiet.
The thing swimming over from the other side of the lake was really a giant turtle, just as Xie Zhenting said!
It must be said that turtles crawl slowly on land, and they can't swim much fast in water!
After waiting for more than ten minutes, there was finally some movement on the lake in front of everyone...
this time……
The ripples are two circles!
In other words, there are two giant turtles!
Xie Zhenting and others had the experience of flipping the giant turtle before, so they followed the same method!
The handkerchief was used as bait.
Move the crowbar!
After flipping one, they flipped two more, and then...
They poked the giant turtle's nest!
In the following time, Xie Zhenting used his excellent hearing to monitor the movements on the lake surface at all times, while the exploration team...
Wait for the turtle to come!
Come one, turn it over one, come a pair, turn it over a pair!
Half a day later, there were more than a dozen giant turtles croaking by the Qibu Lake!
Gu Nanzhi saw this: "!!!"
A look of disbelief.
"So many turtles, how did they... survive?"
In Qibu Lake, apart from this long-lived creature, not many things can survive well!
What do they eat?
"There are many wild animals in the mountains, and this is the only water source within a few miles. Animals will constantly come here to feed them!"
Xie Zhenting responded calmly, "Look, they eat so much and are so fat and strong!"
One by one, huge in size...
It took them a lot of effort to turn them over!
The exploration team spent the first day after arriving at Qibu Lake listening to Gu Nanzhi and his team turning the giant turtle over.
the next day.
The second team, led by Xie Zhenting, came here again.
Their task is to repeat the previous actions.
until……
They kept turning over all the giant turtles in Qibu Lake until they were ashore!
Xie Zhenting fished for several days at the lakeside with blood-stained bait, but saw no more living creatures coming ashore. Then Gu Nanzhi and his team brought their equipment and crossed mountains and rivers to Qibu Lake again.
"The pump has been assembled. Be careful when installing it. Make sure to do a good job of shock absorption and make sure not to cause any movement of the bottom shell here!"
Gu Nanzhi looked at the explorers who were assembling the water pump and said in a deep voice.
Originally, she was worried about where to pump the water from Qibu Lake. After all, to pump the water out of the lake, she would have to dig a pit to hold so much water, but...
Because the geographical location of Qibu Lake is special enough, the other side of it is the canyon fault zone!
This is relatively simple to handle!
Just set up a pump on the other side of Qibu Lake and pump the lake water into the canyon!
However, due to the special geographical location of Qibu Lake, they have to be very careful in everything they do. It feels like they have disturbed the local god of land!
no way……
after all……
No one wants to die here, right?
"Don't worry, sir! We have been busy these days. Do you see that rattan mat? Chief Huluqi led us to weave it. It is more than one meter thick!"
Upon hearing this, the surveyor smiled and said, "Once the pump is assembled, we will put a rattan mat underneath. When the time comes, let alone vibration, it will not move at all!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi glanced at the vines he mentioned and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.
Isn’t it said that there is strength in numbers?
The Xia people really have an innate talent for infrastructure. After she told them the special geographical location here and what to prevent, they didn't even need her to teach them, as they had already thought of many things ahead of her!
The exploration work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
It took many days before the lake was drained.
When Gu Nanzhi came to Qibu Lake again, he saw the dry bones scattered all over the lake...
There are really dead bones everywhere!
Some are for humans, and some are for animals!
After they arrived at Qibu Lake, Huluqi saw that he was not dying in the morning and was not in a hurry to leave, so he stayed on the other side of the mountain with the main force, helping out from time to time...
After seeing those dry bones, Hu Luqi knelt down again!
"Ancestors! These must be the ancestors of our Tata tribe!"
Originally, members of their Tata tribe would bury their deceased members in the lake, so it can be basically confirmed that the corpses buried in the lake are all the corpses of their members!
As for the outside...
Some were explorers from the outside world, some were lost here, and of course, most were the remains of their tribesmen, but were brought here by wild beasts instead of being sent to the designated location...
"Just like before, Chief, these bones have been in the lake for too long and cannot be buried using ordinary methods!"
Seeing this, Gu Nanzhi once again took out the isolation equipment they had prepared.
Previously, the dead bones by the lake were also buried using these special instruments, because the radiation from the rocks at the bottom of Qibu Lake was too strong, not only the lake water, but even the things soaked in the lake water might be assimilated...
"I know, I know, thank you very much..."
Hu Luqi was so grateful that he could bury the remains of his people. He was even more grateful to the exploration team for helping him collect the remains.
"This is what we should do. I should thank you for staying and helping us a lot!"
“…”
After the remains of the Tata tribe were properly placed, the exploration work of the exploration team officially began.
The bottom of Qibu Lake is full of stones, but not all stones are the ones Gu Nanzhi wants!
In her previous life, Gu Nanzhi had seen the lake bottom stones brought out by Western countries, so she knew exactly what her target looked like...
"I want this kind of crystal-like transparent stone with phosphorescence in the middle!"
"Remember, during the entire mining process, no skin should be exposed! The mined raw stones must also be sealed and preserved immediately!"
“…”
Gu Nanzhi pointed out the characteristics of the required ore, and the exploration team immediately took action.
There is no need for Gu Nanzhi to participate in the subsequent mining matters.
Gu Nanzhi stayed behind the mountains outside Qibu Lake for another half a month. After making sure that the mining of Qibu Lake was proceeding in an orderly manner, he left the place accompanied by Xie Zhenting and took some of the raw stones...
