heard during the thunderstorm might lead to the surface."“I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest. My hands were sweating with nerves.The man slowly reached out his hand to lift the jade curtain, but...Except for some places in Shaanxi province, where it's still used for mining, the 9.5-mm blasting cap is basically banned now. This is because it's small in size, highly destructive, and has low safety and stability, posing a potential social threat. That's why its production and use are prohibited. Existing stockpiles have also been uniformly surrendered for disposal.

We were afraid that if we used too much power, it might collapse the underground palace. So we decided to test it with just one first.

The detonator was secured in the corner, the wire trailing out. The boss stayed put to light it, and for safety's sake, the rest of us retreated fifty meters away.

The wire is short, only about thirty centimeters long. Once the boss lights it, you have to run away quickly. If you run slow or fall down, it's not a joke. You could lose arms and legs, and even that would be considered lucky.

Fire starter isn't windproof, I could tell he was nervous, he tried lighting it several times before it caught.

Light a fuse, and the boss would run for his life towards us.

The short spark vanished in an instant.

"Boom!"

Dust swirled, gravel flew, and the ground shook. The thunderclap was deafening, with a powerful blast that hurt our eardrums.

As soon as the smoke cleared, we hurried over to take a look.

As expected, the diamond wall didn't blow up entirely. Under the impact of the explosives, fine cracks appeared within a meter radius on the dark yellow mud wall, while the rest remained intact.

“This is a nine-five thundercracker! Damn it, I knew it was hard, but I didn't expect it to be this hard! If we tried to dig it out by hand, it would take us until the year of the monkey and horse month before we could even open it!” The boss was dumbfounded by this scene.

"Big brother, just bind two detonators together and blow them up!" Seeing that one wasn't enough, the third one also got ruthless.

This is not simply one plus one equals two. Two detonators connected together multiply the power, this is a method used only for blasting mountains.

Follow the same recipe, or will the big boss take the risk and stay to light the fire

We are far apart.

At the beginning, perhaps due to nervousness and anxiety, the leader's hands trembled several times, causing the firestarter to flicker and go off-target.

The first spark of the fuse, and the big boss yelled out before taking off running, like a pack of tigers were chasing him.

Hong Jie helped me squat down, and we covered our ears with our hands.

Once again, "BOOM!"

The first time was already big, but this time the noise is even louder than before!

A lot of gravel and dirt fell from the top of my head, shaken down by the tremor.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

It took nearly ten minutes for the dust and smoke to clear away.

A hole was blown into the ground.

Our efforts were not in vain. The Six Harmonies Earth Diamond Wall before us did not completely collapse, but was blasted open by the Ninety-Five Thunder Tubes. A hole sixty-seven centimeters wide was blown into the wall.

Inside the hole, it was pitch black. Lao San squatted down and shone a flashlight around with his hand.

There seemed to be something vaguely visible, and sure enough, there was a hidden room behind the wall.

"Coffin!"

"It's a coffin! I saw a coffin!" Lao San suddenly shouted excitedly.Sha Tsui Ferry Terminal, and the journey to Morrison Street in the special administrative region is very close, only about 6.5 kilometers.Our base is a type of guesthouse, which we rent out. Compared...
