A big hole in the swimming pool?
Several people were confused by Clark McCann's words.
Even if it was an earthquake, the magnitude of the earthquake was not large, and there was not even a crack in the wall of the house, so how could it shake the swimming pool out of a big hole?
After steadying his mind and making sure that the earthquake would no longer last, Yang Jing led the way towards the swimming pool.
Sure enough, the pool full of clear water was now empty of water, and in the corner of the pool, a large hole with a diameter of about one and a half meters appeared, black and black, like the open mouth of a demon.
"What's going on?
Is the ground empty here?
We're halfway up the mountain!
Yang Jing looked at the big hole and asked in disbelief.
John Bruno on the side said: "Boss, this is not easy to say, San Francisco itself belongs to the hilly area, the geological structure here is very complicated, no one can say what is going on under this land."
Maybe there is a hole in the ground where we are, and then this earthquake shook the upper layer of this hole. ” Yang Jing shook his head and said: "That's not right, there were often earthquakes in San Francisco before, why didn't you shake a big hole here?"
” George Bruce nodded and said, "Boss, what John said makes a lot of sense.
This villa area has only been developed in recent years, this house is also a new house, no one has lived in it before, after Mr.
Zhao bought this villa and gave it to you, you are the first resident.
So the swimming pool here has never been used, and we only used this pool after we came.
Maybe the hole itself was already at a balance point, and as a result, we added so much water to the pool, and the hundreds of tons of water pressure at this position, plus the earthquake, destroyed the balance at once, so, George Bruce spread his hands.
Yang Jing patted his head and said, "This is the swimming pool, what if this house is also located on this empty hole?"
Wouldn't it be that when there is an earthquake, the house will sink as well?
That's a terrible thing!
No, I can't ask for this house, I have to find a developer to return it!
” Yang Jing's words are not nonsense, anyone who learns that his house is located on a big hollow, it is estimated that no one can stand it.
If this hole collapses, it will be a real life-threatening thing.
Chris Barton took out a flashlight, squatted on the edge of the pool and took a picture of the hole, picked up a small stone and threw it down, listening to the sound of the stone moving in it, and then said: "Boss, the hole under this should not be big, but it should be quite deep, and this hole doesn't seem to go straight up and down, there seems to be something in the middle." ” Hearing Chris say this, the curiosity of several people was aroused, at least Yang Jing stopped complaining.
Yang Jing leaned over, tilted his head and looked down, but he couldn't see what it looked like inside for a long time.
Chris shined his flashlight on the perimeter of the big hole, then jumped directly under the pool, crouched down on the edge of the big hole and looked down again.
"What's there?"
Yang Jing asked.
"It seems as if six or seven meters below there is a passage leading to other directions.
John, find a flashlight, it's too weak to see clearly. ” John Bruno quickly ran to the house, and after a while he ran over with a couple of flashlights, and at the same time the guy was carrying a bundle of static ropes.
Yang Jing looked at this guy with the rope on his back, and asked a little puzzled, "John, do you still want to go down and have a look?"
” John Bruno threw the rope, then handed over a strong flashlight, and said to Yang Jing with a smile: "Boss, aren't you interested in the bottom side?"
Anyway, I'm curious about the following, and I'd love to go down and have a look if the situation allows. ” Yang Jing shook his head helplessly and gave this guy a thumbs up.
Chris changed the flashlight and looked at it, and then said, "Boss, this hole should not be naturally formed, it seems to have been dug by hand."
It's just that for some unknown reason, this hole was not dug to the end.
However, six or seven meters below, there is also a passage, where you can see the steps inside. ” After a pause, Chris continued, "Come down, you all come down, there should be a lot of solidity around this hole, and there should be no holes. ” Hearing Chris's sure words, Yang Jing jumped down with it.
"Boss, it's no wonder the earthquake shook this place out of a hole.
If you look at the traces of the hole, in fact, the bottom of the swimming pool and the top of the hole are only more than 20 centimeters of rock, and this earthquake directly shook this layer of rock, and then under the pressure of the water, it became like this. ” Yang Jing took a flashlight and shone on the edge of the cave entrance and nodded.
His swimming pool is used for both swimming and diving, and the deepest end of the hole is 35 meters, and next to it is a three-meter-high diving platform.
The water is so deep that it is to prevent people from diving headlong into the bottom of the pool.
Through the reflection of the strong flashlight, it can be clearly seen that there is an oblique downward passage six or seven meters below this cave, and the most important thing is that this oblique downward passage actually has steps.
Seeing this scene, Yang Jing's heart couldn't help but move.
It's a lie to say that you're not curious, but anyone who sees this situation probably wants to figure out what's down there.
"Let's wait a little longer and make sure there are no aftershocks.
If there is another aftershock just after going down, maybe we will all be buried in it!
Although he was curious about what was down there, Yang Jing still shook his head and vetoed it immediately.

There was just an earthquake, and at this time I was still drilling into the ground, this is not an old birthday star eating arsenic, thinking that he would live a long time!
Chris looked at the big hole and asked, "Do you want to find something to cover this hole first?"
” Yang Jing looked around and shook his head, "No, we have a separate courtyard here, and there are so many trees around the courtyard, people outside can't see here." ” A few people returned to the house, George Bruce called the local seismic station to ask if there would be aftershocks, and others helped Yang Jing pick up lunch.
After lunch, after making sure that there would be no aftershocks, the five of them immediately got fully armed, all the weapons, lighting, and life support supplies were ready, and then tied one main and one pair of static ropes to the diving platform next to the swimming pool, and then drilled through the big hole.
Clark McCann is tall, and he's more experienced in burrowing holes, so he takes the lead, with John Bruno in second, Yang Jing in the middle, and Chris and George Bruce behind.
Clark McCann landed neatly on the staircase that led to the diagonal bottom, and after going down, he felt it slightly, then took off his gas mask and shouted to it: "Come down, the air is fine, this passage should be connected to the outside world, and you can feel the flow of air in it." ” After several people went down, Yang Jing said: "Let's not go down first, let's go in the other direction first, and see where this passage leads." ” The passage is so wide that even the tallest Clark McCann can walk up straight.
Hearing Yang Jing say this, Chris turned around and walked in another direction, but after walking for a short time, the passage in front of him was completely cut off.
Some collapsed rocks and dirt sealed the passage tightly, but judging from the direction of the passage and the upward trend, the passage should lead directly to the ground, but it is unknown why it was blocked.
Clark tugged at the rocks and looked at them for a while before saying, "It's been a long time since this place collapsed, and you see, some of the roots have grown here." ” "Then go back, don't waste time here."
Yang Jing said, and several people immediately turned their heads and walked in the direction they came.
When he walked to the bottom of the big hole, Chris felt it again and said, "There should be a passage to the outside below, and the air is expelled upwards from here, which is enough to show this." ” George Bruce snorted his nose and said with a smile: "There is a smell of sea, could it be that there is a direct sea below?"
” Yang Jing also smiled: "It's best to go directly to the Dragon Palace."
Oh yes, you don't recognize the Dragon Lord here, what do you recognize as the sea god Poseidon. ” Clark quipped, "Chief, we are identified atheists, and we believe in Engels," and several of them burst out laughing.
While laughing and walking cautiously down, everyone realized that the downward passage was actually spiral-shaped, and as they went down, everyone heard the sound of the waves.
After walking down for several minutes, I guess I had come down to the bottom of this hill, and a huge space was finally presented in front of everyone's eyes.
As George Bruno had just guessed, there was seawater in this huge underground space, and there should be a secret passage connecting it to the Pacific Ocean outside.
In addition, on the rock wall on the west side of this space, some dappled light penetrated in, and it was obvious that this rock wall should be the cliff below Yang Jing's house.
When everyone focused their lights on the east and north sides of this space, several people couldn't help but gasp.
I saw that directly east of this space, there are dozens of totem poles of different sizes and shapes, and in the middle of these totem poles is a miniature version of the pyramid.
Although this pyramid is only seven or eight meters high, it is in the shape of a typical Mayan pyramid, and on the rock wall behind this pyramid, there is an ornament that resembles the sun.
The shape of the pyramid and the sun ornament is nothing, and the most important thing is that these two things are faintly reflected with a yellow metallic luster Clark muttered to himself in a sluggish voice, "God Jesus, is this pyramid really built of gold?"
