135. A Hundred-Year-Old Locomotive Was Dug Out In A Small Mountain Village! (Please Subscribe!)
The villagers didn't know what Fang Yang was doing, and they talked about it one by one.
Fang Yang can only continue to dig. The silt near the embankment has been cleaned up. So far, the large iron lump on the bottom of the river has only exposed an area of about one square meter.
While digging, the photographer quickly exclaimed: "Brother, there seems to be something in the mud!"
Fang Yang stopped the bucket and looked over.
If you look closely, you can see that there are some different colors in the soil.
After jumping out of the car without hesitation, I picked it up and checked it.
Each one is not big enough to be pinched with two fingers, but they are all a bit heavy, as if covered with rust.
Team Wang leaned over and looked curiously: "What is this?"
Fang Yang shook his head: "It looks like an iron bump! It's all rust and you can't see it."
The photographer suddenly said: "Brother, do you feel that it looks like a bolt and a nut?"
Having said that, the two immediately observed carefully.
"Not to mention, it's a bit like it!"
Fang Yang also nodded, and handed the item to Team Wang: "If it doesn't work, knock off the rust on it. It's not a cultural relic, and it's okay if it's broken!"
"good!"
After the exchange, climb up the excavator again and continue digging.
In the next operation, small objects like Xie Xue were dug out, which were all iron lumps.
Everyone was very curious about what they had dug up.
The villagers stretched their necks and looked carefully at the iron bumps under the mud.
Not to mention them, even Fang Yang couldn't imagine what could appear in this remote mountain corner.
Totally unreasonable.
After a bang, bang, bang!
A large area of the upper layer of soil was cleared, but it also made Fang Yang aware of a problem.
This thing below is surprisingly big.
At present, about three square meters have been dug, and there is still no end in sight.
The most important thing is that the mud and rust attached to it can't be seen clearly.
Fang Yang turned his head and looked back: "Village Chief, can "Two Three Seven" get a water pump, and help clean it up!"
The village chief nodded quickly: "Okay! I'll arrange it right away!"
Although pumping water will affect the backfilling of the soil for a while, this big guy must be dug out right now.
If you don't know its shape, it's a waste of time to dig so blindly.
However, as he dug, the photographer saw something else in the bucket.
When Dui Wang walked over and took it out to clean up the mud, it was also not stained.
It's just that its weight and shape are a bit like a wrench no matter how you look at it.
The things that may be bolts that Lenovo just dug up just now make sense.
Wang Dui turned to look at the villagers: "Are these thrown in your village?"
The villagers look at each other and stare at each other.
The village chief stood up and explained: "No! Who has nothing to throw this thing away, besides, this reservoir belongs to the whole village, and fish are raised in it every year, and everyone is divided equally. "Who would throw things in it?"
The people behind nodded their heads.
Now it's a mystery again.
Fang Yang could only continue digging. It's no joke to dig out such a big thing.
After digging for a while, the villagers brought a water pump and cleaned the big things underground while pumping.
If you look closely, it looks a bit like an oversized drum.
"Isn't it an iron bucket?"
"Nonsense, how big is an iron bucket?"
"Then what do you mean, it looks like an iron bucket!"
"I... don't know!"
Fang Yang shook his head helplessly. After washing, the surface really looks like a long iron bucket.
But now only the top has been dug, and only arc-shaped things can be seen.
After thinking about it, I decided to dig deeper, and there was no point in continuing to dig the surface.
The bucket digs deep into the soil, bringing up a large pile where the embankment was previously hollowed out.
It was alright when it was next to it at first, but the closer it gets, the easier it is to bump into it.
Fang Yang mentally estimated that the bottom of it should be in an irregular state.
Now it is basically certain that this is definitely not a drum.
But with deeper excavation, more inexplicable things were dug out.
There were shovels, wrenches, and even a lot of wood dug out.
These woods were obviously treated by people, not left here naturally.
People in the village talked about it.
The village chief's expression turned ugly. Everyone: Who lost it?"
He didn't believe it was done by the villagers before.
But these things, at a glance, are the products of modernization.
The whole village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only from the bottom can one go up, and it cannot be lost by other villages.
Everyone whispered to each other, but no one came forward to admit it.
Suddenly someone shouted suspiciously: "Could it be that it existed before our village moved here?"
"That's right, who has nothing to do to throw these tools into the river."
"It's possible, like this stone bridge, we still don't know what it is for."
It's not that Fang Yang hasn't visited it before, maybe because there are too many mud-wrapped ones, the system didn't give any hints.
So at this time, I can only dig out its general appearance with a dull head.
But what surprised him was that the above area was already huge.
The depth is even more exaggerated. After digging for more than one meter, only a cylindrical outline can be seen.
Fang Yang was stunned, the size of this thing constantly refreshed its understanding.
Strong curiosity prompted him to continue digging deeper.
It took about 20 minutes to dig all the way to the bottom, while the water from the hose pumped out the dirt inside.
All are shocked!
The head is a huge iron barrel, and the middle is a thick steel plate-like thing.
There are wheels at the bottom!
It's a huge steel wheel.
From top to bottom, the height exceeds three meters!
The photographer repeatedly exclaimed: "Fuck! This is not a car, is it?"
The villagers have never seen this kind of thing, even Fang Yang has never seen it.
Such a big thing, with wheels, appeared in this remote mountain village, no matter how you looked at it, it felt extremely weird.
Fang Yang even jumped out of the car and walked to him.
This time the system panel popped up immediately.
【Steam locomotive】
【Era: Manufactured by Baldwin Locomotive Works in the United States in 1898, serial number 16117】
[The front is 13 meters long, 2.6 meters wide and 3.4 meters high]
[FN type locomotive, re-inflated 4-cylinder locomotive, diameter of driving wheel is 1022 mm, axle arrangement is 0 bars and 3 bars 1, gauge is 1524 mm, top speed is 50 kilometers per hour, maximum pull is 10-15 carriages, self-weight is 70 tons, relying on combustion Wood-style steam starts. 】
[Reason for loss: In the early 1940s, the Japanese occupied this place and used trains to transport armaments and supplies. Later, before surrendering and evacuating, they used explosives to blow up the railway. The train fell into the river and was buried so far][
Fang Yang was dumbfounded.
It turned out to be a locomotive.
Even if he was killed, he would never have thought that a locomotive would appear in the ravine!
Let alone him, no one would have thought of it.
After reading the introduction, Fang Yang suddenly realized that the stone bridge above his head turned out to be a railway.
The photographer asked curiously: "Brother, what is this?"
Fang Yang smiled: "The locomotive!"
"locomotive?"
Many people exclaimed.
"No kidding! Where do we get the train from here?"
"I've made trains too, and trains aren't like this!"
"Yes, yes, shouldn't trains be square?"
The villagers didn't believe it, but Wang Dui believed it, and Fang Yang immediately thought of an ancient train, a steam train, when he said it was a locomotive.
"Fang Yang, are you sure!"
"Sure, you should hurry up and notify the salvage team. If there is no accident, this locomotive is more than ten meters long, and I haven't even dug out one-fifth of it!"
Team Wang smiled helplessly: "I'll call right away!"
【Qi】+1+1+1+1....

[Holy shit? I'm a king bomb today? I'm a little caught off guard. Even if I was killed, I would never have imagined that a train could be dug on the Curry side of the mountain. It is said that people still think that the train is passing through, otherwise I wonder, how did the train come in?]
[Fang Yang said that it should be, and judging from the current shape, it really looks like an ancient steam train. As for why it is here, the answer can only ask
—— Stranger. Trains were considered a rarity in the past, so why did no one care if they fell here? The imagination is limited, so I can't guess it at all. 】
[Tanks, planes, and cannons are all complete, and now the locomotive has been dug out, and it is still in such a completely unexpected place. Is it going to go to the meat warship and dig an aircraft carrier in a while? The problem is where to dig these things, unless you go to the sea, I don't believe that warships can be dug on land. 】
——【The little village chief looks very backward today, but don't you think it's weird. The terrain of the whole village is especially suitable for building a military base during war, and there are abundant water resources on it. First digging special ores, and now digging trains, I always feel that there is some secret hidden behind it. 】
——[Do you think there will be dead bodies in the train? It is impossible for such a big locomotive to be thrown in by someone. It is very likely that it fell into it in an accident at that time. The locomotive has not been discovered for many years, maybe the group of people who drove the train also died in it, thinking about it is a little scary!]
Fang Yang went back to the excavator and continued digging. It was already 10:30 in the morning, and he hadn't done much work all morning. He was only digging locomotives here.
Now that it is determined what it is, it is also handy to shovel again.
And the parts that I didn't understand before gradually became clear.
The photographer asked curiously: "Brother, what kind of train is this? Aren't all trains square and square?"
Fang Yang smiled: "Steam train, have you heard of it?"
"I rely on, the earliest train?"
"Yes, the part we dug out now is the side of the locomotive, have you seen the front piece? That is the boiler of the train!"
"Looking down, the one with a length of about 1.5 meters is a pedal."
"Further down are the wheels of the train. There should be four large steel wheels with a diameter of 1.2 meters on one side of this kind of train, and the middle one is its bearing."
The photographer was confused for a while.
"Although I don't understand it, I feel so awesome!"
Fang Yang smiled: "You will understand when I dig it out!"
After speaking, he continued to operate the excavator to dig.
He is at most responsible for digging out the surrounding soil for this thing, as for salvage, it has nothing to do with him......
While he was digging, the towing team that had called before also came to the site and was building a road that could go up.
Fang Yang dug back along the head of the train, and then dug out the gas valve connecting the boiler and the wheels. According to the data of the system, the length is 1.2 meters and the diameter is 0.8 meters.
The function of this thing is mainly to remove excess steam.
While washing with a hose, the villagers found that there was a
Copper nameplate.
If you look carefully, you will find some dates and English text written on it.
"Village chief, what is this writing?"
The village head looked at him like a fool: "Do you think I understand English?"
Fang Yang said lightly: "The date written on it is 1898, and the place below is its production site!
"Oh! Could it be a train?"
Fang Yang didn't answer but continued to dig. After digging for a while, the parts of the tender truck were also dug out.
This is where the train burns to generate steam.
The villager holding the water pipe saw the wood inside at a glance: "Why is there still wood in here? Does the train also burn wood?"
In fact, Fang Yang was also very surprised, although he didn't understand steam trains.
But he remembered that this kind of train should burn coal.
On TV, a person holding a shovel kept putting coal into the large boiler inside.
This picture has already been fixed in my mind.
Out of curiosity, he took a closer look.
Although you can see a piece of wood inside, they are all wrapped in silt.
If you want to go in and find out, you have to clean up all the mud inside.
You don't have to think about it and know that there is a lot of space inside, at least it is impossible today.
Now we can only continue to dig.
After digging until about 12:00 noon, the outline of the entire train has completely appeared in front of everyone.
Fang Yang was a little hungry, so he checked the time and prepared to eat.
At this time, there are more and more villagers on the dam behind.
Almost the whole village came.
They watched the locomotive in the mud in shock.
"Village chief, you have the oldest seniority. Why do we have trains here? Do you know?"
The village head pondered for a while, then looked up at the broken stone bridge above: "I heard people say that our side has long been a den of little devils, and that there are railway tracks near us. At that time, I didn't
Xin, think about it now, is this stone bridge the same as the railway track back then?"
"Railway? I went up to play, but there are no railway tracks, at most there are some stones!"
Fang Yang jumped out of the car and came over with a smile: "Do you think that if this railway track was scrapped back then, so many steel tracks would be left here and no one would want them?"
When the village chief heard the words, he suddenly realized: "Yes, at that time, every household took out iron tools, and it was normal that there were no rails here."
【Qi】+1+1+1+1..
[This locomotive is considered a cultural relic, right? I’m afraid there are not many of these things in the whole of China, and it’s even rarer if they can still be preserved. Didn't know this thing would
It will be transported to the Fang Yang Museum, and then I will also go to see this century-old steam train. 】
[Drunk me, Fang Yang even understands this kind of thing? Not to mention this kind of train, not many people in China understand it, he even recognized it at a glance,
So rare. There are 4.9 departments, they are all like this, why don’t you check it? If you understand him, it will definitely save human beings from detours for 50 years. 】
[I even suspect that Fang Yang will be able to explain it clearly and logically when an alien spaceship is dug up. Only you can't think of it, there is nothing he can't do. Take today's matter
When I turn around and brag to others, I probably won't believe it. Digging a locomotive is already outrageous, but digging in this kind of place is even more outrageous. 】
【It's a train ride up today. The things dug up this afternoon must not be scary? It's hard to imagine what can be dug up in such a small mountain village. Fang Yang again and again
This time subverted my three views, watching his live broadcast for a long time, I sometimes wonder if I am from Blue Star, have I time-traveled!]
After Fang Yang finished speaking, he led the photographer down the mountain.
A straight road has almost been repaired.
Fang Yang also happened to have dinner while they were hanging the train.
Anyway, now he has almost dug.
It's just that this place is too remote to hail a taxi.
In the end, Xiao Li drove the two of them to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
When leaving, he also brought a meal for Team Wang and the others.
When they returned to the entrance of the village, it was already half past one in the afternoon.
From a distance, several large cranes dragged the huge locomotive slowly down the hillside.
This scene is too shocking.
In addition to the villagers, many people came to watch.
Even people passing by will stop to watch the excitement.
"Fuck! What is this?"
"Listen to them that it's a locomotive!"
"My dear, how did such a big guy get in there?"
"Stay away, you will die if you get hit!"
Fang Yang also stood at the entrance of the village and watched, although it was not as spectacular as the scene of hundreds of excavators digging up the plane yesterday.
However, it is rare to see three cranes dragging a locomotive full of mud at the same time. .
