Chapter 193 Sky Curtain Project: Blocking Remote Sensing Satellites!
"Secondly, use flame detection!"
"Coalbed methane is less dense than air and will accumulate at the top of the mine tunnel. You can have someone use a long pole to carry an oil lamp or candle and probe into the mine tunnel first."
"If the flame goes out or there is an abnormality, it means the gas concentration inside is high, and people should not enter!"
"clear!"
Zhang Fan was greatly encouraged. These two methods were simple and easy to implement, and were practically tailor-made for the current situation!
After hanging up the call, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.
With scientific guidance, he was absolutely confident in solving this problem!
He cleared his throat and faced the thousands of laborers once more, a mysterious smile on his face.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
The previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent!
All eyes were on him!
"This immortal master takes pity on your mortal bodies!"
"To ensure safety, I will bestow upon you two more supernatural powers to attract good fortune and avoid misfortune!"
He held up two fingers, his voice steady and powerful:
"The first method is called 'The Divine Rat Scouts the Way'!"
"Rats live in darkness and are most sensitive to changes in the earth's atmosphere. From this day forward, whenever a new mine tunnel is opened, a cage containing live rats must be placed inside first."
"If the rats are unharmed, it proves the earth's energy is balanced, and people can enter!"
"If the rats become restless or even faint, it is a warning from the mountain god, and no one is allowed to enter!"
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
This method sounds unbelievable, but it makes perfect sense coming from the mouth of a celestial master!
Zhang Fan didn't give them much time to discuss, and continued:
"The second method is called 'Sacred Fire Exorcism'!"
"The turbid air beneath the earth is light and buoyant, and it fears the fire of Yang!"
"Before going down into the mine, you can use a long pole to carry an oil lamp and probe deep into the mine tunnel!"
"If the lights are bright, then the yang energy is abundant, and evil spirits cannot invade!"
"If the light flickers or even goes out, it indicates that foul air has accumulated. Work can only proceed after ventilation has dispersed the pollutants!"
"The divine rat scouts the way, the sacred fire dispels evil!"
Fusu muttered to himself, his eyes sparkling with interest.
These two methods are unheard of. Could it be that the teacher truly possesses knowledge of ghosts and spirits?
The laborers were utterly dumbfounded.
"Please have mercy, Immortal Master! Please have mercy, Immortal Master!"
"With this divine power, our lives are no longer in danger!"
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for bestowing this power!"
In an instant, everyone was completely relieved.
Amidst the noise of the crowd, no one noticed.
An ordinary-looking laborer of medium build quietly slipped away from the crowd.
He lowered his head and strode quickly toward a county soldier responsible for perimeter security at the edge of the mine.
As he passed the soldier, he stumbled and his hand inadvertently reached out to support the soldier's waist.
The movements were as fast as lightning and so natural that there was no flaw.
A letter slipped into the soldier's clothes.
The soldier's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, without even a change in his eyes.
He nodded knowingly and continued to look ahead, as if nothing had happened.
The laborer seemed genuinely frightened, bowing repeatedly in apology before turning and disappearing into the crowd...
A moment later.
The soldier informed his squad leader that he was changing shifts, then took a horse and galloped off towards Xianyang.
……
at the same time.
In an inconspicuous house in Changzi County.
A woman was kneeling in front of a table, her slender, fair fingers picking up a scroll of secret reports that had just been delivered.
She was dressed in a smart black outfit, her long hair tied up high with a simple wooden hairpin, without any unnecessary ornaments.
The room was dimly lit, with only a small oil lamp lit, the flame flickering and casting her long, thin shadow.
Black Ice Lieutenant, Yu Miaoyan!
"Mi Yueyao...a descendant of the royal family of Chu, surnamed Mi, clan name Yue..."
Yu Miaoyan looked at the words on the bamboo slip and murmured softly, her voice as cold as ice.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on her lips.
"hehe……"
A soft chuckle!
To win over Zhang Fan, they actually went to such lengths?
What a pathetic and laughable tactic!
Even after so many years, the people of Chu still have the same core values!
But Zhang Fan...
Yu Miaoyan's expression grew cold!
Colluding with the remnants of the Chu state, regardless of the reason, is a capital offense punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan!
No matter how much favor a celestial master enjoys, it's not enough!
Without further hesitation, she put down the bamboo slips and quickly wrote a letter.
After she finished writing, she carefully blew the ink dry, folded the letter neatly, and put it into a specially made black wax ball.
"Someone come here."
She spoke in a cool, detached tone.
A dark figure appeared behind her like a ghost, kneeling on one knee silently.
"Urgent dispatch!"
Yu Miaoyan handed over the wax pill in her hand.
"You must personally deliver it to His Majesty at Xianyang Palace!"
"Here you go!"
The shadowy figure took the wax pellet, flashed away, and left the place.
……
at the same time.
The atmosphere inside the command center of the Shanxi branch of the 749th Bureau was tense and solemn.
On a giant holographic projection screen!
The video captured by Zhang Fan's camera is being received and processed by the supercomputer in real time.
The two-dimensional images in the video are being rapidly analyzed and constructed, eventually forming a 3D virtual model in the center of the screen that is exactly the same as the ancient coal mine.
Every detail of this "digital twin" mine is crystal clear, even a crack in the rock wall is clearly visible.
More than a dozen of the country's top geological experts, mining engineers, and safety experts are gathered around the model, their expressions focused.
"According to the profile data sent back by Comrade Zhang Fan, the shallow coal seams here are of very high quality!"
"But the reserves of associated coalbed methane also far exceed expectations!"
An elderly geologist pointed to a highlighted red area in the model, his expression grave.
"Old Li is right!"
A security expert chimed in, "Comrade Zhang Fan's emergency response today was outstanding!"
"The idea of a 'two-way ventilation duct' is absolutely correct!"
"However, as the excavation depth increases and the tunnels become more complex, relying solely on natural wind convection is far from sufficient!"
"We must immediately plan the best location for his forced ventilation shaft."
"And there are mining methods!"
Another person immediately added, "We can't let him dig like this anymore!"
"I suggest using the room-and-pillar method for mining, which preserves some coal pillars to support the roof. This is the safest method under the current conditions."
"The optimal coal pillar size and spacing must be calculated immediately!"
The experts spoke one after another, creating a lively yet tense atmosphere.
Every line of dialogue could have been related to the lives of hundreds or thousands of people two thousand years ago.
Sudden.
A technician responsible for monitoring satellite remote sensing images suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Director Zhu! Come quick!"
Commander Zhu Feng strode over and looked at the stand-alone screen.
The screen displays real-time high-resolution satellite remote sensing images with the project's coordinates locked.
The image clearly shows that open-pit coal mine area!
Amazing changes are taking place that are visible to the naked eye!
Centered on the mine pit, the surrounding land and vegetation are rapidly fading from their original emerald green and earthy yellow to an unnatural, lifeless grayish-white.
Even ground level is continuously decreasing!
The scope of this change is still expanding outwards!
From space, it looks like a strange, gray-white eye has opened on the earth!
"This is……"
Everyone present was stunned by what they saw.
Great Qin!
Zhang Fan's coal mine operation!
