The feeling of a cold is really unpleasant, I feel dizzy and groggy!
************This tornado lasted for about three hours and then slowly calmed down.
During this period of time, Mo Yanran had been at the entrance of the cave, observing and recording the changes in the strength of the tornado, and then recorded it on an instrument. After the tornado completely subsided, she ran to the edge of the lake and extracted some lake water for testing.
During this period of time, several technicians set up communication facilities to establish contact with Aiya outside the cave. In this way, the difficult situation of communication isolation in the sinkhole was completely eliminated.
Aiya and the others outside the sinkhole had long been anxious. Mo Yanran and the others who had been in contact during this period lost contact again, making them worried that something was wrong with her. Fortunately, Mo Yanran had given instructions in advance, so they
I have been waiting anxiously.
For three hours, Aiya had several blisters on the corners of her mouth because of her anxiety. She kept monitoring the communications with Mo Yanran, hoping to contact them.
"Engineer Ai, there's a signal." Just when Aiya was extremely anxious, a soldier responsible for monitoring the communication band with Mo Yanran quickly ran over and shouted excitedly.
After hearing this, Aiya hurried to the instrument and turned the button on it. Mo Yanran's cold voice came out from inside, "Aiya, everything is safe in Luo Xiao. Send a helicopter right away.
be quick!"
Aiya stood up loudly and shouted to the soldiers of the Huya Special Operations Brigade on the side, "Legion Commander, they are fine. Hurry up and send a helicopter to the designated coordinates."
The soldiers of the Huya Special Operations Brigade were all very happy when they heard this. A soldier immediately went to the place where the helicopter was parked. Soon, an armed transport helicopter took off and flew towards the outside of the valley.
The place where Mo Yanran was located was a mountain range about ten kilometers outside the valley. There was a bottomless canyon there. It was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, so there were almost no human traces. I didn't expect that there would be such a surprising situation down there.
In the sinkhole, Luo Xiao and other soldiers had already assembled. They were waiting for the arrival of the helicopter. Everything here had been dealt with, and now all that was left was for the helicopter to arrive and transport everyone away.
Mo Yanran walked to Luo Xiao who was wiping his gun, sat down, and looked at his focused face, "Luo Xiao, everything has been arranged."
"Well, we have gained a lot this time." Luo Xiao stopped and looked at Mo Yanran, "Have you collected all the necessary information?"
"After collecting it, we just need to go back and analyze it, and then we can establish the necessary bridge boundary." Mo Yanran hugged her knees, sitting next to him, looking at the calm mirror-like lake in the distance, "Maybe then you can
You can achieve the things you have always dreamed of!”
"Yes, how many times have I dreamed of realizing this wish, but I never thought that there would be a chance to realize it." Luo Xiao smiled and nodded, then stood up and raised his head to look into the sky.
The rumble of the helicopter came, and a small black spot appeared in the sky, then quickly expanded, getting closer and closer, and soon the powerful helicopter figure could be seen.
At the bottom of the sinkhole, Mo Yanran asked the soldiers to collect all the instruments and prepare to load them away. These are important information, very important!
The helicopter landed slowly, then stopped in a cleared area, and then opened the hatch. Several soldiers from the Huya Special Forces Brigade jumped out and came to Luo Xiao, raising their hands and saluting, "Legion Commander."
Luo Xiao returned the gift and then said, "You are here just in time. Help everyone load these things onto the helicopter."
People worked together to load these things onto the helicopter, then onto another helicopter, and then took off into the sky and flew towards the sinkhole.
…………
At the same time, in the Marco Polo Bridge area on the outskirts of Peking, a war was about to break out. The two sides facing off were the Chinese army and the Japanese army!
Marco Polo Bridge, also known as Marco Polo Bridge, is located on the Yongding River in Fengtai District, about 15 kilometers southwest of Beijing. It was named because it spans the Marco Polo River (i.e. Yongding River). It was first built in the 29th year of Dading in the Jin Dynasty and Zhengzheng in the Ming Dynasty.
It was rebuilt in the ninth year. It was destroyed by floods in 1697 during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty and rebuilt in the 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. The east of the bridge is Wanping County, which was built in the 11th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.
The Marco Polo Bridge has a total length of 266.5 meters, a width of 7.5 meters, and a maximum width of 9.3 meters. It has ten piers and a total of 11 holes. The entire bridge is a stone structure, and key parts are connected with silver ingots and tenons. It is the longest ancient bridge in North China.
Stone bridge.
The most distinctive feature is the construction method of the bridge pier. The bottom of the pier is in the shape of a boat, and the water diversion point is built on the water surface. It looks like a pointed bow, and its function is to resist the impact of flowing water.
The stone carvings on the bridge are very exquisite. There are 281 pillars on the stone guardrails of the bridge. The pillars are 1.4 meters high. The pillars are carved with rosettes and lotus leaf piers under the seats. There are numerous stone lions carved on the tops of the pillars. There are many stone lions carved on the pillars.
Wait, there are countless stone lions in different shapes.
There is a folk saying that says: "The stone lions of Marco Polo Bridge are countless." The "Scenery of the Imperial Capital" of the Ming Dynasty also records that the number of stone lions of Marco Polo Bridge is "endless." Many tourists try to figure out the number, but they can't count.
Go, dazzled, and finally give up.
In 1962, the relevant departments specially sent people to conduct a count, and registered them one by one. They counted 485 large and small stone lions. At this point, it should be said that the "mystery has been solved".
Unexpectedly, during the reexamination in 1979, 17 more stone lions were discovered. In this way, the total number of large and small stone lions should be 502. Whether they will be discovered again in the future, no one dares to put an end to this.
The famous architect Mr. Luo Zhewen's article "The Marco Polo Bridge Famous at Home and Abroad" once gave a very vivid description of these beautifully carved stone lions with vivid expressions:
"...Some held their heads high and looked up at the sky; some stared intently at the bridge; some turned their heads sideways, facing each other as if they were talking; some were nurturing the lions, as if calling softly; the bridge
There is a stone lion in the east of the south, with one ear raised high, as if listening to the gurgling water under the bridge and the conversations of passers-by... It is really diverse and full of expressions."
Famous bridges all over the world have their own special attractions, but the Marco Polo Bridge has a unique charm with its superb bridge construction technology and exquisite stone lion carvings. It is well-known at home and abroad and is truly one of the wonders of the world in ancient and modern times.
The name of Marco Polo Bridge also has its origin. According to legend, there was no Marco Polo Bridge in the past, only a ferry. A Shanxi man named Lu was doing business near the ferry, and his business was very prosperous. One autumn, he took Tian's ferry with his money.
The boat was about to return to her hometown to visit relatives. Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Tian saw that Lu had a lot of money, she became evil-minded and threw Mrs. Lu into the Yongding River and drowned. She took the silver coins as her own and started doing business.
The next year, Tian gave birth to a son. When his son was 10 years old, he had to spank Tian three times a day. If he was not allowed to be spanked, he would cry and cry. Tian was very upset and sought advice from an old monk who had become an immortal through Taoism.
The old monk told Tian that your son was the reincarnation of the murdered Lu family, and he wanted to settle accounts with you. When Tian heard this, he was panic-stricken and begged the old monk to save his life.
The old monk said: "It's not difficult to save you, as long as you use all the stolen money to build a bridge so that passers-by will no longer be harmed by you people."
After listening to the old monk's words, Tian hired many craftsmen to build a bridge. After the bridge was repaired, Tian asked the old monk for the name of the bridge. The old monk smiled and said, "You are repaying Lu's debt. I
Just call it Marco Polo Bridge!"
The legend of Marco Polo Bridge has been passed down to this day.
From ancient times to the present, there is a legend that "the water cannot cover the Marco Polo Bridge." According to legend, the Yongding River had a copper-clad iron bottom, and the Marco Polo Bridge's opening was duck-egg-shaped. On the north side of the eleventh opening of the bridge, there was a water-facing platform and a dragon-slaying sword.
Thorough and smooth flow.
The Jade Emperor, who was in charge of heaven and earth, heard from the local city god Tuye that the bridge was so beautiful and spectacular that it was built overnight by Lu Ban's youngest daughter and sister-in-law as a result of a bet.
He was very happy and appreciative after hearing this, and said: "It's amazing that there are such talented girls in the world. It seems that even the flood can't cover the bridge."
After hearing what the Jade Emperor said, all the gods nodded in agreement. However, the Dragon King who was in charge of the Haihe River was shocked when he heard what the Jade Emperor said. He said that the Jade Emperor's words were the decree. He said that the water could not cover the bridge, but if the water overflowed the bridge,
Then wouldn’t I be derelict in my duty?
The Dragon King returned to the Dragon Palace, worried and unhappy. He thought, every year during the rainy season, rainwater from all directions collects in the river, causing heavy rains. If it encounters continuous cloudy days and heavy rains, I can guarantee that the water will not cover the bridge.
The bridge is well built, but if the embankments at both ends of the bridge are washed away by floods, the bridge will be finished. What should we do?
The Mother of Dragons knew its worries and gave it an idea, saying: "There are many people and there are many ways to do it. Why don't we call together the main officials in the palace and the nine sons and three daughters to work together to discuss this matter? Maybe we can think of something."
Come up with a good idea."
After hearing this, the Dragon King nodded in agreement. Then he immediately gave the order, and within a moment, everyone arrived one after another. However, everyone talked nonsense for a long time, but no good solution was found. At this time, the clever third princess was seen standing beside the dragon.
The mother whispered something in her ear. The dragon king couldn't help but get a little angry when he saw it. He thought, everyone is anxious to find a solution, and you mother and daughter are whispering. It is really unreasonable. The dragon king was about to get angry, and the dragon mother said to the third princess: "
Tell your father what you think."
The third princess explained her method in this way. The Dragon King was very happy after hearing this. He even praised his daughter, the third princess, for her wonderful method and ordered it to be done immediately.
When the third princess returned to the harem, she immediately mobilized the maids to weave copper nets and iron nets. They used the woven copper nets to protect the embankments on both sides of the river, and laid the woven iron nets on the bottom of the river to prevent them from being washed away by floods. This is how people later
The legendary copper with an iron bottom. The kind and filial fourth prince and the fifth prince, when they saw their little sister, they could solve the problems for their father and the king, and they themselves would also share the worries for your king. So, every flood season, the two brothers would automatically lie down at the bridge hole to absorb water and protect themselves.
Bridge. There are still two faucets sucking water in the bridge hole.
Since then, there have been no major floods on both sides of the Yongding River, and the saying "copper with an iron bottom, the flood cannot cover the bridge" has been passed down to this day.
Who could have imagined that a war that would shock the whole country would soon break out on the banks of the Marco Polo Bridge with beautiful scenery and charming legends.
