Chapter 391 Blasting

This small hill is not big, it is only 100 meters long from east to west, and it is at most thirty meters wide from north to south. It is about 100 meters taller than the ground, and it is flat and long overall.

In fact, the altitude here is no longer low. Just like the canyon where Yang Jing is now standing, the altitude has reached nearly 400 meters. After all, this is a mountain range, and even though it has been much flattened by wind and sand, the foundation is here.

The red light emerged in the west of the mountain, and Yang Jing focused on finding the entrance to the treasure hiding place at this end.

There are clear signs of precipitation erosion on the mountain, and these traces are spread all over the mountain, clearly like the veins of leaves. There is no plant on the mountain here, so there is naturally no such thing as soil and water conservation. Once rainfall occurs, such traces will inevitably appear.

Although the Sahara Desert has very little precipitation, it is not without precipitation. However, this precipitation time is very short, often only a few minutes.

However, in these few minutes of precipitation, the rain that has been held for a year or even longer will usually erupt in a very short period of time. In other words, there is generally no rainfall in desert areas, but once it rains, it is usually a very short-lasting but very violent rain.

In fact, let alone heavy rain, there is still snow in the Sahara Desert!

According to records, on February 18, 1979, the Algerian town of Ainsevra, deep in the Sahara Desert, ushered in a snowfall. Then, thirty-seven years later, on December 19, 2016, a large number of snowflakes fell here, even covering many sand dunes. Then, starting that year, this small town with the title of "Desert Gate" had snowfalls for three consecutive years.

Especially the snowfall on January 7 this year, it actually dropped for a whole day. In the suburbs of the small town, the snowfall was as high as 40.6 cm!

Who would have thought that snow would fall in the hottest place in the world in the hottest place?

But there was snowfall here.

Since even snowfall has occurred, what’s wrong with rainfall?

In fact, the annual rainfall in the Sahara Desert is also possible, with an average precipitation reaching ten millimeters. However, people don’t know when rainfall is coming in many places.

Just like the Haram Mountains where Yang Jing is now, if there is no rain, why are the dried rivers here so clear? Why are there such clear traces of water flow erosion on these hills? Obviously, there is a considerable amount of rainfall here every year, but no one will see it when it rains.

This is Sahara, the most terrifying place in the world except Antarctica. Humans can only move around the oasis. For example, a place like this that is ten kilometers away from the oasis, no one will appear in a year. Therefore, there are so many things that cannot be seen.

When Yang Jing traveled here, it was around 4 pm. At this point in the original time and space, he was preparing to board the plane to Yanjing.

Yang Jing could be sure that within a radius of ten kilometers, there was no one who had no hair in this area, and no one came back to such a place in idle pain. If the Sahara Desert is a ghost place where birds do not shit and chickens do not lay eggs, then there are not even birds or chickens here.

Therefore, Yang Jing can be confident and boldly inquired about the entrance to the treasure hiding place.

After wandering around the foot of the mountain for more than twenty minutes, Yang Jing focused on a stone as big as half a house.

This stone is very large, and it is obviously rolling down from this hill because of weathering. However, when Yang Jing first saw this stone, he felt something was wrong with the stone.

It’s not that the stone is particularly shaped or huge. In fact, there are many stones like this in the Hamra Mountains, and some stones are even bigger than this one. The reason why Yang Jing thought this stone was a little wrong was mainly because of the location of the stone.

This small hill is more than 100 meters high and the hillside is very steep. At the size of this stone, if it rolls down from the top of the mountain, it should roll far away from the foot of the mountain under the acceleration of gravity.

In fact, there is no need to think about this at all. Just look at the other stones that are bigger than this stone. Those stones obviously rolled down from this small hill, but most of them were more than twenty meters away from the roots of the mountain. Only this stone was tightly "rooted" at the foot of the mountain, as if this stone did not roll down from the mountain.

This phenomenon that is contrary to physical laws is extremely difficult to discover if it is not a person who is interested. But Yang Jing had already confirmed that the treasure was buried under this hill, so after his careful observation, the stone immediately turned into a firefly in the night, and that sigh-like crap, ah, it was twisted...

Anyway, this stone is not right. Since it is not right, then think about it carefully!

This stone is very large and weighs at least thirty tons. Yang Jing thinks that no matter how good he is, he can't push the stone.

But being unable to push the stone does not mean that Yang Jing has no choice but to use it. There are several battery-powered impact drills in his storage space. Of course, there are also a large number of C4 drugs. These drugs were taken from the weapons warehouse before leaving the Oham Oilfield.

The reason why humans are fundamentally different from other animals is that they can make and use tools!

If this huge stone was placed in primitive society, no one would be able to do anything about it. However, in modern times, thanks to the emergence of various tools and the magical medicine, this stone is nothing.

It took Yang Jing nearly an hour to replace three impact drills in a row before he made more than 20 holes as deep as 30 centimeters at the bottom of the stone, almost exhausting Yang Jing. Doing such physical work at such a temperature is simply seeking death.

Fortunately, Yang Jing has the ability to feed back, so he can persevere.

Then Yang Jing took out the C4 from the storage space and stuffed it into these holes. A small thunder hall was inserted outside, and the thunder hall's fuze was concentrated, and finally tied it to a longer fuze.

Yang Jing actually didn't know how to use C4, but he had never eaten pork, and at least he had seen pigs running. In addition, he specially asked Chris and the others on a flight back to Yanjing. So although he had never operated C4 before, he knew how to place and detonate this powerful drug.

As for the dosage, he didn't know even more. But Yang Jing knew very well that if he wanted to explode or blow this huge stone, the amount of medicine needed would definitely not work if he had less, so he stuffed a lot of C4 into every hole.

The released fuze is of course also a safe fuze. The length of this safe fuze takes one minute to burn, which is enough for Yang Jing to run out 200 meters.

After doing these tasks, Yang Jing looked at the thermometer. The temperature was still as high as 45 degrees Celsius, so Yang Jing took out the motorcycle from the space without hesitation and ignited the safety fuse after it started fire.

After igniting the fuse, Yang Jing stepped onto the motorcycle and rushed towards another mountain more than 300 meters away. With the strong power burst out from the motorcycle engine, Yang Jing ran to the back of the other mountain in less than half a minute. There were two mountains between this location and the big stone, so there was no need to consider safety issues.

The main reason why this huge stone was blown up at this time instead of at night is that the temperature was high at this time, and the distance of sound propagation was much shorter than that of the low temperature night. Although the nearest Gudamis Airport is 20 kilometers away from here, and there are many hills around it, Yang Jing cannot guarantee that he has released so many C4s, and the sound waves generated during the explosion will be heard by people over the airport.

Moreover, if it detonates at night, the light effect is not small. Even if you can't hear it, what if someone sees it?

So while the sun is still hanging in the west for half a day and the temperature is high, just detonate it directly!

Yang Jing got out of the car and sat in the middle of the canyon. He didn't dare to go to the foot of the mountain. Who knew that the vibration of this explosion would shake the rocks on the mountain? What if it was shaken down and he happened to be under the stone again...

Only then did Yang Jing focus on the situation there.

After a minute and a half, Yang Jing suddenly felt a slight vibration under his butt, and then a stream of air came along the canyon. This should be the shock wave generated during the explosion. However, because the distance is four hundred meters and there are two mountains in the middle, this shock wave no longer has any power when it arrives here.

The sound that followed made Yang Jing feel a little dizzy even after staying at the earplugs.

There is no way to detonate a large number of C4s in the canyon. The sound produced by the explosion will increase a lot when echoing through the canyon, causing Yang Jing to be very injured. But this situation is not without benefits, that is, the echoing of the sound waves through the canyon will decay very quickly and cannot spread so far.

Yang Jing waited for a while and was sure there was no problem there, so he rode his motorcycle and returned there carefully.

Even though it had been more than a minute, it was still covered with dust. The explosion just now caused almost all the dust that filled the canyon. Fortunately, the depth of this canyon was more than 100 meters, and the dust did not spread out from the top of the canyon.

After waiting for several minutes, when the dust gradually subsided, Yang Jing saw the stone just now, which was half the size of a house.

The stone was still there, but it was more than half smaller, and the remaining upper half was several meters away from the original position.
