Just as everyone was being sucked into the mouth of the water, the structure of the dome collapsed instantly.
The earth above the head sloped down like a mudslide, completely submerging the entire tomb.
Lin Yi held his breath, closed his eyes tightly, held his head, completely lost his balance, and drifted with the current in the turbid mud.
It was dark all around, and no sound could be heard except the sound of water.
Judging from the touch, this waterway seems to have traces of artificial chiseling. The walls are very smooth. After passing through a slightly narrow hole, there is finally some light.
What followed was a free fall, landing in a reservoir.
People began to fall into the pool one after another around them.
"Lao Wang, brother, are everyone okay?"
Lin Yi asked immediately after standing firm.
Several voices appeared one after another all around.
"Comrade Xiaolin, we are all fine!"
"Consultant Lin, we are fine!"
"Brother, I'm fine, I just ate a mouthful of stinky mud!"
Everyone cleaned the mud on their faces, found each other, and climbed out of the pool with support.
The three experts are older and have more or less scratches and collision injuries.
There are also the remaining young researchers, all of whom lack exercise and have varying degrees of scratches.
Wang Qiang was the last to fall from the hole, causing a huge splash.
"Oh shit! Help me, I can't swim. I can't"
Halfway through his words, he finally realized that the depth of the pool was just above his knees.
He stood up holding the engineer shovel with an embarrassed look on his face.
Finding that everyone was looking at him with a smile, he wiped the mud from his face and quickly changed the subject.
"Everyone is okay, that's great! Bai Lu, where is Bai Lu?"
About five or six meters away from the reservoir, Bai Lu, who was all wet, held up the fluorescent stick in her hand and turned her back to everyone, motionless.
"Bai Lu! Are you okay?"
Wang Qiang shouted.
Bai Lu didn't react at all.
"What's going on here? Could it be like the one above, possessed by an evil spirit?"
Wang Qiang's words immediately made everyone's hair stand on end.
"Xiao Chen" caused so much psychological shadow to everyone that a group of people immediately gathered together, not even daring to speak out loud.
"Bai Lu? Can you hear me?"
Lin Yi reached for his backpack with one hand and made an encircling gesture towards Wang Qiang and Abu with the other hand.
"Damn it, is it over yet?" Wang Qiang complained softly, but still followed.
Just when Bai Lu was about to be tied up with their 'body-binding rope', she suddenly spoke.
"Consultant Lin, look here!"
As she spoke, Bai Lu pointed in front of her.
The three of them let out a sigh of relief, put away the objects in their hands, and looked in the direction she pointed.
Then, the three of them were stunned on the spot.
"Old Lin, am I not dreaming?"
"no!"
Lin Yi replied numbly.
"Brother, are you saying that this thing is really from more than two thousand years ago, as you said?"
Abdul's voice also began to tremble.
"My judgment shouldn't be wrong!"
Lin Yi replied again.
Seeing the four of them standing in a daze, everyone behind them plucked up the courage to shout to them.
"Consultant Lin, are you okay?"
Lin Yi did not look back, waved his hand, and waved again.
Only then did a group of team members in the distance pluck up the courage and come to them.
After standing still, everyone was stunned.
No one spoke for a long while.
The sight before them made every one of them feel extremely shocked.
Just as Lin Yi deduced.
Under this tomb lies the core of the entire mechanism.
These "mechanical structures" from more than 2,000 years ago can only be described as ingenious.
The criss-crossing wooden mechanical arms, the bronze-polished gears, and the almost perfectly round stone weight ball are still running meticulously under the reflection of this almost dimmed fluorescent stick.
The large and small mechanical arms can be seen as far as the eye can see, and they should be everywhere in every corner of the tomb.
Countless glazed panels were used around it to form a dust cover, covering all these things inside.
Just like a luxury mechanical watch with a transparent back cover, it shows its mechanical beauty in front of everyone.
"How could I, Yu Siyuan, be so virtuous and capable! In my lifetime, I actually saw with my own eyes such a great ancient engineering masterpiece created by our ancestors!"
When it came to the emotional part, Professor Yu suddenly burst into tears and even covered his face and burst into tears.
Academician Zhou next to him stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Old man! If we can live to see this, we will really die without regrets!"
Mr. Lu didn't say a word, his hands were on crutches and he was trembling.
"Old Lin, this thing is the center of the Rubik's Cube and the skewer for barbecue you mentioned? Didn't you say you want to smash this thing? Are you still willing to do it?"
Wang Qiang was lying on the glazed wall, his eyes shining as he watched.
When he was a car soldier, he was very interested in these mechanical things.
Now that I have seen with my own eyes a mechanical device from more than two thousand years ago, I feel extremely excited.
This was also Lin Yi's first close-up look at the core parts of the machine technique.
The shock that hit him made him speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
The operating mechanism of this central organ is comparable to modern mechanical devices. It works perfectly and each performs its duties.
Everyone just quietly admired the silent operation of this huge set of equipment, until the fluorescent stick in Bai Lu's hand completely lost its lighting function.
My eyes suddenly went dark, as if I had suddenly watched a science fiction movie.
My mood couldn't calm down for a long time, and I still felt unfinished.
"Consultant Lin, are you sure this was made by someone more than two thousand years ago?"
Bai Lu suddenly turned around and asked.
Lin Yi's vision was unmistakable, and he could determine the authenticity of these things even through a layer of glazed walls.
But now he is a little unsure.
"Look, there's something here!"
Li Li, who was looking around with a flashlight, pointed at his feet.
At the bottom of the glazed wall, a brick-sized black stone was embedded.
The surroundings are neatly cut and blend into the surrounding glazed walls.
There is no redundant content on it, just a line of small characters in Arabic.
The translation is: the completion time is the spring of 1664 in the Jingjue calendar.
Seeing this number, Mr. Lu reacted immediately.
"Based on this date, this tomb or this mechanism was completed in AD 7."
Speaking of this year, all the archaeological staff present could not help but widen their eyes.
"There was only one year difference between the completion of these devices and the fall of the Western Han Dynasty!"
Lin Yi took a deep breath.
"The man who destroyed the Western Han Dynasty was called Wang Mang!"
