Chapter 592 The Difference Underwater
This section of the cliff is the steepest part of the entire West Island, because the highest altitude mountain on the West Island is here.
Although the mountain is only more than 120 meters high, it stands here just like this. Most of the mountain is facing a lagoon like a knife, which looks particularly imposing.
This cliff is seventy or eighty meters high, straight up and down, and even if it is used to play free diving, it is absolutely fine.
It is said that this is also a good place to enter the construction base, but Yang Jing did not choose this place at the beginning because in this area where the cliffs and the sea surface are in contact, there are several rugged reefs, and several reefs even exposed to the water surface.
The existence of these reefs has completely turned this cliff into a useless place. Not to mention the entrance to the construction base, even if you play free diving, no one dares to play in such a place.
Do you really think the reefs below are muddy? Playing free diving in such a place is purely seeking death.
Moreover, with these reefs blocked, ships will definitely not be able to enter, so it is obviously impossible to build the entrance to the base here.
But just here, to be precise, behind a reef that was about half a meter high above the water surface, Yang Jing accidentally found several pieces of steel bars.
This discovery immediately made Yang Jing excited. These pieces of steel bars are definitely not formed naturally, and judging from the locations of these pieces of steel bars, it is very likely that they are steel bars in reinforced concrete. Since there are these pieces of steel bars behind the rock wall, what else can it mean?
Yang Jing drove a motorboat and carefully approached the reef. Fortunately, it was a lagoon and the wind and waves were not big. If he drove a motorboat to approach this reef outside the lagoon, it would be no different from seeking death. When a big wave came over, he could take pictures of all the people and the motorboats on the reef.
Standing on the reef less than one meter away from the cliff, Yang Jing activated his perspective skill again and looked at the cliff in front of him carefully. What disappointed him was that the thickness of this rock wall had exceeded the maximum perspective distance of the perspective skill, and it was all rocks within reach.
But what happened to those few pieces of steel bars?
Yang Jing squatted down and approached that part, but found that there was a piece of missing the rock wall in that part.
It should be the erosion or weathering of the waves that caused a large piece of rock in that part to fall off, resulting in a much smaller thickness of the rock wall in that part, which made the steel bars suspected to be in reinforced concrete in the rock wall appear under Yang Jing's perspective skills.
Turning his head and looking around, Yang Jing found that Chris and the others had not noticed him, so he took out a sledgehammer from the space and hit the rock wall of the cliff a few times.
If the back of the cliff is solid, then the sound made by the hammer when it hits the rock wall is crisp. Yang Jing slapped it a few times. Although the sound was still crisp, he could vaguely hear a dullness.
This sound made Yang Jing excited again. Obviously, the fundamental reason for this sound was that it should be hollow behind this cliff, but it was because the cliff outside was too thick that such a sound appeared.
Yang Jing put the hammer into the space and did not continue to look at the rock wall, because he knew that no matter how much he observed, he could not see anything. The rock wall here was too thick, and according to time, even if there was a base behind the rock wall, the base had not been opened for at least sixty years or even longer.
In the natural environment of the Maoge Islands, let alone six decades, vegetation can erase all traces even in six years.
Turning his head and getting on the motorboat, Yang Jing blew a loud whistle. In a short while, Chris and the others were exposed from various parts of the West Island.
Because Yang Jing was wearing only one swimming trunk, he didn't carry anything with him.
"BOSS, have you discovered something?" Clark was the biggest and his voice was the biggest, and his voice immediately started to ring.
Yang Jing made a few gestures, and then accompanied by a pleasant cheer, the figures of these guys disappeared immediately.
After a while, all of these guys rode motorboats to Yang Jing's side.
"BOSS, have you discovered something?" Clark asked in a muffled voice.
"I noticed a little." Yang Jing nodded with a smile, "The cliff seems to be hollow behind it, and the sound produced after the knocking is different, so I plan to dive in and take a look."
Chris looked up at the sky, then shook his head and said, "BOSS, the sun has set. It is not a good choice to go down at this time. The sight below will become very poor. Let's prepare for it tomorrow night and let's go down together tomorrow morning."
Yang Jing thought for a while, looked up at the sky, and said with a serene soundtrack: "Okay, let's take a break today and continue tomorrow. Guys, I found a lot of dog claw snails in the afternoon, so we can try this in the evening."
Carl Morris saw the net goose-neck barnacle that Yang Jing proposed, and his face showed surprise, "Wow, BOSS, you are such an angel! How could you find such a delicious thing? Oh my God, this is a delicacy from hell!"
Carl Morris has some Spanish descent, and the craziest country in the world for gooseneck barnacles is Spain. So after seeing the big net-patch gooseneck barnacle, Morris immediately became excited.
At night, I had gooseneck barnacles and other seafood and dishes, so I had a great time eating dinner.
It is worth mentioning that after three consecutive days of plundering, the large coconut crabs that were not originally large were almost no trace again...
After resting for a night, Yang Jing and the others were ready to go directly to the water early the next morning.
After diving down from below this cliff in the eastern part of the West Island for about thirty meters, Yang Jing discovered that the rock wall had changed.
Although the rock wall is still a rock wall and is covered with various aquatic plants, it gives people the feeling that the large schist in front of me does not look like a naturally formed rock wall, because the large schist is a bit too flat.
Chris and his other bodyguards who followed him to the water obviously discovered the uniqueness here. Chris made a few gestures, and the meaning was very clear. Something was wrong here. This rock wall should have been artificially forged.
From thirty meters down to a depth of about fifty-five meters, the rock wall, which is about fifteen meters wide, is full of these very flat rock walls.
Elites like Chris who have undergone strict diving training, use free diving to dive to about 40 meters at most. This involves the decompression disease. Yang Jing did not let them continue to dive, but he saw it by diving himself.
Although this rock wall looks no different from the rock walls in other locations, you can still see something is wrong if you look closely. However, even though Yang Jing used the perspective skill, he still couldn't see this rock wall.
After making a gesture, Yang Jing took a group of people to the surface and met with Kevin Martin and George Bruce who were staying on the sea.
After taking off his mask, Yang Jing said: "There is a rock wall below that is very wrong. It is too flat and it is very likely artificial. From a depth of 30 meters to a depth of about 55 meters, the width is about fifteen meters. However, the rock wall is too thick, and I can't tell what is behind this rock wall."
Although George Bruce was a fighter pilot, this guy was full of violence. He smiled and took out a few C4s from his pocket behind his butt, "BOSS, what rock wall can withstand this thing?"
