Chapter 26
If some people research and invent mechanisms, then naturally there will be people who research on cracking them.
If you want to break through this hard mechanism and get inside, there are generally two ways.
Bull nose ring outsmarting and human brute force.
One of the more famous things is that when Sun Dianying robbed the tomb of Cixi, he encountered tap stones. At that time, Sun Dianying used reckless methods, relying on a battalion of strong men, and finally used hundreds of kilograms of military explosives to blow it up. The door was blown off, and the tap stone was blown off, and priceless gold and silver jewelry such as night pearls, jade cabbage, and Kowloon swords were stolen.
There is another method, which insiders call the Niu Nose Ringing Method, which Sun Laosan later told me.
Have you ever seen the kind of iron ring used by cow noses and cows?
Just hollow out the middle and leave small holes on both sides, so you can tie the rope.
That's how it works.
First, identify the position of the natural stone behind the door. Use a hammer and chisel to carve out the shape of a cow's nose on the surface of the door, so that the natural stone on the inside can be seen through the crack in the door.
Then you need to use a homemade tool called the semi-circular dragon claw. The northerners call it the semi-circular dragon claw, and the southerners call it the kidnapping needle.
At the beginning, the national archaeological team tried all kinds of methods (except for explosives), but they were unable to remove the one-and-a-half-ton tapstone behind the Dingling Stone Gate. In the end, they still consulted ancient books and documents, and some people said that they found it. With the help of tomb robbers serving time in prison, Dingling was opened intact.
The names of Semicircular Dragon Claw and Guaizi Needle sound complicated at first, but in fact the principle is very simple.
A crutch nail is a metal object with a long handle at one end and a semi-circle shape at the other end. First, insert the crutch nail through the crack of the door, then put the ring-shaped part on the cast stone, and use a rope to pass the crutch nail through the punched cow nose groove. In this way, finally use force on the outside. Pull the rope left or right.
When the position of the tap stone inside shifts, the anti-theft mechanism will be broken, and people can push open the stone door and enter.
The automatic stone is only the most common one among the mechanical techniques found in ancient tombs.
For thousands of years, ever since people began to believe in being laid to rest, tomb robbers and anti-grave robbers have never stopped. Whoever is more skilled will have the last laugh.
At around three o'clock in the middle of the night, a group of us climbed up from the robber cave and left. Wang Baotou's expression on the pit was very ugly. As someone who has been in this industry for half his life, Wang Baotou still has a sense of proportion in certain things.
The sealing stone weighs more than two to three tons. Even if we use a crutch needle and tie it with a rope, just two or three of us can't pull it open.
Wang Baotou changed his original plan. On the one hand, he asked Boss Sun to contact the buyer as soon as possible to cash in the seven or eight bags of bronzes as soon as possible. On the other hand, Wang Baotou contacted a mole and asked her gang to find a way to steal the stolen goods as soon as possible. Hole backfill. We cannot leave any traces where we are. We must leave Shunde as soon as possible to avoid the limelight.
At the same time, the king also sternly warned us not to spread the word about what happened tonight, lest we get jailed.
The three Sun brothers, who grew up together, drank together and made a fortune together, suddenly lost one of them.
Under the urging of the boss, Boss Sun reluctantly started his work of selling rice and cashed in those bronzes as soon as possible.
He didn't know when he would be able to sell it for money, and the days of waiting passed slowly. Mr. Sun drank heavily every day for three days to drown his sorrows.
I have seen that sometimes Sun Laosan, half drunk and half awake, would keep talking to himself while holding a wine bottle.
"Usually, at this time, second brother, you are the happiest and the loudest, because the money is about to be divided."
"Second brother, you...where are you?"
"Come back and share the money."
