Chapter 239
After lunch, Qi Cheng was just about to take a nap when Zhou Lu called him and asked him to go to the restaurant, saying that he had something to discuss.
Only after he arrived did he realize that Zhou Lu actually wanted to go on an adventure.
Not doing business anymore?
"I have no choice. It's my cousin who insists on going." Zhou Lu said with his hands spread out. "It seems he signed up for an adventure club in college and wants to find a place to practice."
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"He's from out of town, how would he know where we are? That's why I asked you to come over. Let's discuss taking him out for a day."
When Zhou Lu's cousin came over, he directly asked if there were any caves or abandoned mining areas nearby, and he wanted to take a look at these places.
The society organized them to go out of town during the weekend, and he wanted to build up his courage in advance.

Tang Dynasty
"This expedition is somewhat similar to the wilderness survival video I saw earlier." Changsun Wuji sighed, "The pursuits of later generations are truly unique."
Do you all like to seek excitement so much?
"I think this expedition is different from wilderness survival. Look at how they discuss what they need to bring. It's very different from wilderness survival where you bring nothing. This is a prepared search."
Qing Dynasty
Ordinary people in the late Qing Dynasty had heard of foreign expeditions. Why did schools organize expeditions in later generations? Aren’t schools places for learning?
How much would it cost to prepare so many things?
……
In fact, the place they were going to was quite close and there was no danger. They only prepared some food and water and brought a sports camera.
No tents were even brought.
"The first place we went to today was a very deep cave. Although it wasn't particularly winding, it was a real test of one's mental fortitude."
"I...have no mental problems...I will definitely not be a drag."
Qi Cheng instructed Zhou Lu to drive the car to the foot of the mountain. He pointed to the middle of the mountain and told them that the cave was there. In the past, he had to cross mountains and ridges to get there.
Now there is a way to go directly there.
The three of them panted as they came to the front of the cave, turned on a high-intensity flashlight and shone it inside. A mountain wall appeared at the end. Zhou Lu calculated and felt that the distance was much shorter than Qi Cheng said.
"You'll know once you get in. Hurry up and eat something to get ready."
Tang Dynasty
Several generals looked at the flashlight with envy. This thing is much better than a torch. Look at the brightness, it can illuminate things more than ten meters away clearly.
It would be nice to have this thing when you march.
"Your Majesty, could you please study this flashlight? It would be very useful for marching at night."
Li Shimin asked Li Chunfeng to tell him whether he was confident that this thing could be made.
"Your Majesty, this definitely requires electricity. We've just made a small generator, so we need to continue researching..."
That means it cannot be produced for the time being.
……
Someone had built a stone wall at the entrance of the cave. Qi Cheng thought about it and it seemed that there was no such thing when he was a child, so it was definitely not a ruin or something like that.
Maybe someone did this when they were bored.
There is a section of gravel just after entering the cave. With the light from the entrance, there is no need to worry about falling. After walking a few meters inside, the light from the entrance has become much dimmer.
Although there was a flashlight, the quiet atmosphere still made the three people's heartbeats speed up a little.
When they reached the cliff, Qi Cheng pointed to the right, where there was an opening and they could continue walking inside. They had walked less than three meters when Zhou Lu's cousin suddenly trembled.
He pointed to a pile of junk next to him and asked if there was anyone else in there.
The people outside the sky were also very nervous. Anyone who could live in a cave must be in a bad mental state and might even attack the three of them.
It's dangerous.
"A gentleman does not stand on a precarious wall. It's wrong for later generations to be so fond of excitement," an old scholar said loudly. "Working at sunrise and resting at sunset is the best."
"If a young person doesn't venture out into the world, how can he be called a young person?"
The two sides started arguing while looking at the sky.
……
In the cave, Zhou Lu held on to Qi Cheng's clothes tightly. He could accept living with someone, but if there was a suitcase or something, he felt he would faint.
Look at the stiff Zhou Lu and his cousin whose legs have begun to tremble.
Qi Cheng smiled and said, "Who would live in a cave? You two are overthinking it. These were thrown by people who came into the cave before. Look at those snack bags. They're the ones we ate when we were kids."
After hearing Qi Cheng's words, the two of them relaxed.
After walking forward for about ten minutes, they finally reached the end of the cave. It was just an ordinary cave with no other entrances inside.
After coming out of the cave, Qi Cheng asked him if he wanted to go to the next place, which was an abandoned copper mine, about ten kilometers away from here.
It used to be very prosperous, but now it's almost deserted.
"Ah, I remember now. I think I saw a video about it online." Zhou Lu also remembered where the copper mine was. "But I heard that some people still live there."
“There are only a few families left.”
Zhou Lu's cousin shook his head. He thought it was quite interesting during the training in the club, but after really entering the cave, he felt his heart beating wildly.
There's no danger here at all.
If he encountered a bat or something, he would be dizzy and unable to find his way.
"Brother, I don't think... I'm particularly suited to adventure. When I get back, I'll quit this club and find another suitable one."
Zhou Lu patted his cousin's shoulder and said nothing.
"Actually, you can go to the etiquette club. There are a lot of girls there." Qi Cheng joked, "The home economics club is not bad either."
"That's right, that's right. The basketball club your brother and I joined back then wasn't very fun. If only the etiquette club accepted men back then, your brother wouldn't have to be single."
The three of them went down the mountain and back to the hotel chatting and laughing.
……
Tang Dynasty
Several ministers felt that their cousin Zhou Lu lacked perseverance. He thought that if he joined the company, he should train himself well and not retreat when encountering a problem.
"The host just mentioned that there's a copper mine nearby. He asked the nearby garrison to quickly send someone to find it and take control of it."
Li Shimin was more concerned about the copper mine.
It’s a pity that they didn’t go there in the end, otherwise they could have found the address of the copper mine directly.
"Your Majesty, please give me all the copper you can refine. Whether it's firearms or generators, a large amount of copper is needed." Li Chunfeng stepped forward and made a speech.
"Why don't you just mine this copper mine? You can experiment with steam engines and other things you've been researching."
