Chapter 3095: Air exploration
Under the cliff.
Everyone was looking up at the towering and steep cliff, and they were amazed.
Looking up from the bottom of the cliff, this cliff gives people a feeling of standing upright, seeming to extend from the ground to the sky, connecting with the clear blue sky above.
Everyone standing at the bottom of the cliff will involuntarily have a feeling of insignificance, thinking that he is just a grain of sand, and the smallness is almost non-existent.
"Wow! It's so spectacular!"
"God knows how this cliff was formed? Nature is so magical!"
Exclaimed one after another, everyone was a little dazzled.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in excitement:
"Look to the south, everyone. There are a few red foxes looking at us over there. Those guys are so beautiful. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful fox!"
Following the shouts, everyone immediately turned their heads and looked south.
as predicted!
A few flaming foxes are looking at this side curiously under the cliff tens of meters to the south of everyone, near the woods.
It was a mother fox with a few little foxes playing under the cliff, unexpectedly ran into a tripartite joint exploratory team.
Whether it's the mother fox or the little foxes that are only three or four months old, they are all flaming red and very eye-catching.
Due to the long distance, the foxes were not afraid of the three-party joint exploration team, and did not run away immediately.
When observing the situation here, they were still frolicking, jumping around between the rocks, like a beating flame, looking very beautiful.
Seeing this scene, everyone was pleasantly surprised and very excited.
"Wow! These foxes are so beautiful. No wonder many fables link red foxes with beautiful and smart girls!"
"What kind of fox is this? It is so beautiful. I have seen a red fox several times before, but I have never seen one like this."
While everyone exclaimed, they also picked up their mobile phones or cameras, vying to take pictures of these flaming red foxes as a souvenir.
"The foxes you see now are supposed to be the Saimingshan red fox, a red fox peculiar to Ethiopia, but I didn't expect them to appear here. This is really an unexpected surprise..."
An archaeologist said loudly, introducing these red foxes to everyone.
At the same time, Ye Tian's wireless invisible headset also heard the voice of his security personnel.
"Steven, some guys entered this gorge from the other two entrances and are groping towards this side. They are a group of Ethiopians and some guys from Europe.
The Ethiopians should be the guys who came here yesterday to explore and found nothing in the end. They just changed their identity today, appearing as ordinary treasure hunters, not as official ones.
As for the guys from Europe, they are our old friends, all the way from Israel to Egypt, and then to Ethiopia, obviously coming for the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant! "
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately stepped aside and said in a low voice:
"Don't disturb those guys, just keep your eyes on it. Although this canyon is not very wide, only four to five hundred meters, it is not as dangerous as the tropical rain forests of Central America, but it is enough for those guys to drink a pot.
Especially the concealed Night Demon Snake, the small river with arsenic flowing, and the ubiquitous burrows and cracks will cause a lot of trouble for them. They will pass these levels before talking."
Before the words fell, there seemed to be a scream from the dense forest in the distance.
Ye Tian looked over there, a sneer flashed across his face at the same time.
Allowing everyone to admire the few red foxes for a while, Ye Tian just said:
"Gentlemen, don't forget what we are doing here. It's not here to travel and admire the flora and fauna, but to explore the treasures here. Collect your hearts and start working!"
Following these words, everyone in the tripartite joint exploration team turned their heads and looked over, and everyone smiled.
Next, everyone put away their mobile phones and cameras and got busy, ready to start exploring.
After everyone was ready, Ye Tian immediately began to dispatch tasks.
He first told his exploration team members to test the soil and rocks under the cliff.
To determine whether these soils and stones contain highly toxic elements, such as arsenic previously encountered.
Then, he asked some Israeli exploration team members to check the situation on the nearby cliffs.
See if the rocks on the cliff are stable and if there is any danger of collapsing, so as not to bury everyone under the cliff.
Later, he asked Cole and others to release a few small drones and fly up the cliff to check the situation on the cliff and start preliminary exploration.
As for the numerous Israeli security team members led by Seaman, they are responsible for alerting and clearing the scene to open up a safe camp for the tripartite joint exploration team.
Not only to protect the three-party joint exploration team at the bottom of the cliff, but Israeli security personnel also have to guard the top of the four to five hundred meters high cliff to prevent anyone from approaching the top of the cliff and count the three-party joint exploration team from the top of the cliff.
As the orders came out, everyone immediately split up and acted separately.
The three small UAVs operated by Cole and the others flew up one after another, and then spread the distance in the air, one every ten meters, and began to explore upward from the bottom of the cliff.
The local situation on this cliff was then presented on the IPAD screen in Ye Tian's hand, and the picture was very clear.
At the bottom of this cliff, there are still some plants.
Between the crevices of the rocks, there are also nests for small animals and birds, but the number is very small!
Soon, the three small drones rose to a height of more than 30 meters.
The cliffs at this height not only became extremely steep, as if they were being cut with axe and axe, but there were no traces of animals and plants.
From this height to the top of the cliff, this cliff seems to have completely lost its vitality and becomes a forbidden zone of life.
When the three small drones climbed to a height of about 45 meters, Ye Tian suddenly said:
"Guys, let the small drone hover at this height, a little closer, there seems to be a few gaps in the cliff, let me see the situation inside"
When the voice fell, three small drones hovered in the air and slowly approached the cliff.
Through the high-definition camera carried on the small drone, the situation on this cliff is immediately clearly presented on the IPAD screen.
At this position on the cliff wall, two narrow gaps appeared, extending into the cliff.
The two gaps are not big, the entrance is very narrow, the inside is winding and winding, the light is abnormally dim, and the inside is not clearly visible.
Ye Tian stretched out his hand to zoom in on the video and observed it carefully.
Unfortunately, there are no surprises.
These are two naturally formed gaps. No trace of artificial excavation can be seen. The entrance to the gap is more than 20 centimeters wide, and it is impossible for people to get into it.
After viewing the video, Ye Tian went on to say:
"Guys, fly this area on the cliff and see if you find anything."
"Okay, Steven"
Cole and the others nodded and responded immediately.
Next, three small drones quickly flew this area on the cliff.
Still nothing found!
There are only a few small cracks on the cliff wall, which are all formed naturally.
"Well, guys, pull the three small drones outwards, fly to a safe distance, and continue to explore upwards. If you find anything, I will let you stop."
Following Ye Tian's remarks, the three small drones immediately pulled out three or four meters, keeping a safe distance of about five meters from the cliff, and continued to fly upward to explore.
It didn't take long for these three small drones to climb to a height of more than 100 meters.
In the process, they only found some naturally formed narrow cracks and two small caves, and nothing else was discovered.
Perhaps because the exploration distance is very narrow, only more than forty meters wide, there is nothing to discover.
For this width, for this towering and huge cliff, it's not even a mere dime.
Even the height is only a quarter of the height of this cliff, which is still far from the top of the cliff.
The three small drones continued to fly upwards and continued to explore.
At this moment, several employees of the brave exploration company have completed simple soil and rock tests.
They immediately found Ye Tian and informed him of the test results.
"Steven, we inspected the soil and rocks at the bottom of this cliff. In these soils and rocks, arsenic was found in varying amounts.
Those rocks that seem to have fallen off the cliff contain higher arsenic content, and the soil contains relatively less arsenic, but they are all toxic.
The texture of the rocks that make up this cliff is relatively loose, not very hard, and easy to fall off. If you climb this cliff, you must pay attention to safety..."
Next, the subordinate reported detailed test data and results to Ye Tian.
After listening to the report, Ye Tian pondered for a moment before saying:
"Like my previous guesses, the reason why this towering cliff face is completely cut off without any plants or animals is because the rocks are rich in toxic arsenic.
In addition, the texture of these rocks is relatively loose, and no one can conquer this cliff. It is estimated that all the mountaineers who fell to death here before died because of it! "
"hiss--!"
Everyone sucked in air, somewhat frightened.
"Steven, if the rocks on this cliff are rich in arsenic and are relatively easy to fall off, if we find something on the cliff, how can we carry out further exploration?"
The leader of the Israeli exploratory team asked, his expression a bit solemn.
Ye Tian looked at this guy, then smiled and said:
"It depends on what we found. If it is a very valuable clue, it is worth taking the risk to carry out further exploration, then we will think of a suitable and safe way to carry out exploration actions."
"Ok, hope we can find something"
The Israeli leader nodded.
Next, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Attention everyone, we have detected that the soil and rocks under this cliff, as well as the rocks on the cliff, are rich in arsenic and have a certain degree of toxicity.
For safety reasons, during this exploratory operation, everyone must wear masks and gloves throughout, and try not to touch the soil and rocks here with bare hands as much as possible.
After this joint exploratory operation is over, when everyone leaves Ethiopia, everyone must rush to the hospital as soon as possible to have a thorough physical examination."
"Understand, Steven, we will be careful"
Everyone responded in unison, raising their vigilance.
Afterwards, everyone put on masks and gloves, took protective measures, and was more cautious than before.
In a short while, the Israeli exploratory team also completed their work.
"Steven, we checked several places on this cliff. The overall structure of this cliff is relatively stable. There is no danger of collapse for the time being. You can rest assured."
The Israeli exploratory team responsible for inspecting the cliff structure introduced the situation.
"That couldn't be better, I hope there will be no accidents"
Ye Tian nodded and said.
He basically figured out the conditions of the soil and rocks at the bottom of the cliff, and after confirming that there was no danger of collapse, he arranged for his staff to scan the ground around the camp with a pulsed metal detector.
The members of the exploratory team from Israel and the Vatican also took action. They dispersed along the bottom of the cliff and began to explore the area at the bottom of the cliff to see if they could find anything.
After arranging these things, Ye Tian began to check the video footage taken by the small drone again.
Soon, more than half an hour passed.
The three small drones have flown to the top of the cliff and saw the scenery on the top of the cliff, and also saw the Israeli security personnel guarding the top of the cliff.
It is a pity that this wave of exploration has nothing surprising.
On the cliffs where the three small drones flew, there are only some naturally formed cracks and caves. These cracks are large or small, but the caves are very small, and there is no human trace at all.
Small drones flew in to explore some of the relatively large cracks, but there was nothing in those cracks!
The only finding was that an Angu vulture's nest was found in a larger crack.
But the nest has long been abandoned, and there is no eagle feather in it.
Next, the three small drones moved another forty meters eastward, and then proceeded to explore from the top of the cliff, continuing to scan the towering cliffs.
Ye Tian did not continue to stare at the video screen, but gave the job to Derek, let this guy stare, and notify himself if he finds out.
Afterwards, he asked about the exploration at the bottom of the cliff.
The result is the same, everyone has found nothing.
Although a few metal objects were scanned, they fell from the top of the cliff and were worthless.
At the bottom of the cliff where the joint exploration team is located, there are no cracks or caves leading to the mountain's belly, at least no one has found it.
After understanding these circumstances, Ye Tian found Seaman.
"Sieman, let your people drive that small helicopter over. I want to take that small helicopter to check the situation on the cliff and see if I can find anything.
But I will use my own pilot. Walker comes from the Special Forces of the U.S. Rangers. He can fly various types of helicopters proficiently. I can rest assured that he can fly the helicopters."
Hearing this, Seaman couldn't help but stunned.
But he nodded anyway.
"No problem, Steven, of course you can let your own people fly the helicopter. I'm fairly familiar with Ranger special forces. Those guys are really good."
"Except for that small helicopter, let your two medium-sized helicopters fly over and act as an air guard. In this valley, we are not the only team."
"Okay, Steven, the three helicopters are not far from here. They can fly over in ten minutes. There is enough space under the cliff for the small helicopter to land.
As for the other two teams that entered the canyon, our people have already focused on those guys. If those guys dare to attack the helicopter, our people will send them to hell."
After speaking, Seaman picked up the walkie-talkie and notified the pilots of the three helicopters to drive the helicopter over here.
Soon, ten minutes passed.
Three helicopters were in the shape of a product, whizzing from the east of the canyon, and flew straight to the area where the joint exploration team was located.
At the same time, the two groups of people who were trekking through the dense forest of the gorge also found three helicopters roaring in.
They all looked up at the sky, all a little surprised.
"That guy Steven didn't find any treasure, right? That's why he called the helicopter to transfer the treasure~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is too fast!"
"These helicopters may not be here to transfer treasures, they may be here to assist in the exploration, or they may be used for aerial alert!"
Just as these guys were talking about it, the three helicopters had flown over the joint exploratory team.
Immediately afterwards, under the command of ground security personnel, the small helicopter among them began to slowly land.
The other two medium-sized helicopters hovered over the canyon to perform air alert.
After a while, the small helicopter landed smoothly on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian and Walker, who were already prepared, ran to the small helicopter as well as another security team member.
After a while, the small helicopter took off again and flew over the canyon.
However, the pilot flying the helicopter was replaced by Walker.
Ye Tian sat in the back seat, looked at the towering cliff on the side of the helicopter, and embarked on a new round of exploration.
