"The movement of stone pillars is part of the anti-grave-robber mechanism. This mechanism must be interpreted from the perspective of ordinary tomb robbers.

The appearance of the evil ghost relief shows that the tomb's anti-robbery pattern has undergone major changes. The external stone forest pattern no longer needs to have confusing properties, and should become more of a part of the active attack.

Judging from previous exploration experience, a large amount of cold air will actively surge out of the mausoleum, eventually turning the core area of ​​the entire stone forest into a low-temperature and high-pressure area.

The central area of ​​the stone forest is a high-pressure area, and the outside is a hot low-pressure area. The wind will blow outward from the stone forest, which is not conducive to cold storage.

The movement of these pillars is to interrupt the air duct, slow down the movement of airflow, and slow down the escape of low-temperature and high-pressure air masses as much as possible.

Such careful calculation shows that the ice storage area in the underground tomb area is limited.

Not only that, as long as we destroy these stone pillars so that the cold air mass in the central area can escape better, it won't take long before the low temperature in the mausoleum can be greatly warmed up.

However, such behavior also carries certain risks.

That is, low temperature is convenient for preserving ancient viruses, and rising temperatures will accelerate the spread of viruses. "

Bai Ning's overall analysis represented an offensive and defensive logic, which made Jiang Yingxue's eyes light up.

“You mean, these moving stone pillars are nothing more than bait.

Tomb robbers frightened by the ice cellar are likely to try other methods. When they discover the secret of the stone pillar, they will knock down the stone pillar and then be killed by the virus.

According to this idea, we must ensure the low temperature environment of the ice cellar? "

Jiang Yingxue clearly pointed out the fact that the stone pillar was a bait, which also indicated that they not only had to protect themselves from the cold, but also had to keep the tomb warm, which was tantamount to making the operation more difficult.

Based on this fact, the original tomb designers obviously thought a lot about traps and baits from the perspective of tomb robbers.

Therefore, in the subsequent advancement of the mausoleum, we cannot just rely on some instinctive reactions to deal with the immediate difficulties. We must consider whether this counterattack will trigger a more tragic trap.

Under this kind of pressure, over time, they will fall into a situation of suspicion and dilemma.

If the designer of the mausoleum adds some time-limited mechanisms, or some mechanisms that rely purely on reaction speed, Bai Ning and others who are limited to a sluggish state will die miserably.

Before officially entering the mausoleum area, just wandering around the outer stone forest area for a few times, such a huge amount of information feedback has been generated. I can't imagine how cruel the inside of the mausoleum will be.

"With all the effort put into this stone forest, it is only natural that Sima Tian's tour group would be destroyed here.

Now, the defense pattern of the entire mausoleum has undergone tremendous changes. Is it still necessary to interrogate him? "

Before, Jiang Yingxue thought that she could scrape a layer of oil and water from Sima Tian's body, but now it seems that, leaving aside the issue of timing, the clone Sima Tian may have lost his advantage of knowing information.

“It’s too early to talk about Sima Tian’s value.

This mausoleum, whether it is the underground area or the above-ground area, reveals absolute ingenuity and hard thinking.

The continuity of it being written by the same person also means that what Sima Tian once experienced is absolutely representative.

Again, Sima Tian has its established value, but it is indeed not now. "

Bai Ning believed that Sima Tian would be of great use, but that would only happen after entering the mausoleum.

For a moment, the tent became quiet again, and everyone was doing their own things, quietly waiting for the opportunity to come.

As night falls, the heat in the air gradually settles down, and the cool night breeze carries the fragrance of food and makes this serious camp a little more smoky.

If it weren't for the stone forest next to the camp, the atmosphere here would be more like a tour group heading to the end of the sand sea.

Liu Cheng, who was responsible for delivering meals to Sima Tian, ​​carried his rice bowl to the place where he was held in solitary confinement.

At this time, Sima Tian's hair was still white, but his skin had returned to normal. Overall, he looked more like a young man with dyed white hair.

"Coward Sima, if you are willing to cooperate well, I will ensure that you enjoy the food and drink spicy food.

If you don't cooperate, Brother Liu promises you that if you fall into my hands, you will starve for nine meals in three days. "

Adhering to the overall concept of eating as much as you like, doing as much work as possible, Liu Cheng also used every opportunity to shine when he was not delivering meals.

In this way, no matter how much roast chicken he eats, he won't feel any guilt.

"You, a small character like you, dare to threaten me?

Judging from the current situation, your boss seems to value me very much. If I punish you in exchange for telling the secret, how do you think your boss will deal with you? "

In just a few sentences, Sima Tian had Liu Cheng under control, which made the atmosphere in the scene very awkward.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you feed me quickly?"

Sima Tian shouted loudly, which frightened Liu Cheng. He felt that he had no choice but to do his job conscientiously.

However, just after taking a few bites, Sima Tian vomited out the food with a look of disgust on his face.

Faced with this waste of food, Liu Cheng was quite disgusted. Just when he was about to scold him, he saw that the things Sima Tian vomited turned red.

Are there pebbles in the food?

When he lowered his head and took a look, he found that there were teeth mixed in the spit out food. He immediately looked at Sima Tian in horror and found that his mouth was bleeding and he seemed to be dying.

Faced with this change, Liu Cheng's first reaction was food poisoning, but what kind of food poisoning can poison people's teeth?

Although he wasn't too clear about it, it didn't stop him from running like a mad dog to report the situation to Bai Ning.

When Bai Ning arrived, Sima Tian's face had aged again, and this time it was more than just a chicken skin and a crane's head. The feeling of grayness and decay that appeared from the inside out was really a bit like a burnout.

Is it because of the major changes in the internal structure of the tomb that Sima Tian's body has died?

"How do you feel now?"

Although he knew that asking was in vain, Bai Ning still insisted on asking.

Not getting any response, Sima Tian just raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Ning, his cloudy eyes full of despair.

"When I came, he was fine. I just gave him a mouthful of food, and then he vomited blood, and even his teeth came out."

Seeing that Sima Tian seemed to be really dying, in order to avoid his own responsibility, Liu Cheng anxiously told everything that had happened before.

Loose teeth, sagging and wrinkled skin, and dim eyes are all signs of aging.

Sima Tian's performance at this time was that he was aging instantly. What Bai Ning once denied was actually happening now.

"Is he going to die of old age?"

Seeing this real aging phenomenon again, and even now he could smell the faint old smell emanating from Sima Tian's body, Jiang Yingxue subconsciously asked.

This is a question based on absolute trust in Bai Ning, and it is also an instinctive question about the current incredible phenomenon.

It stands to reason that Sima Tian has already pretended to be old once, and if he continues to play this trick now, it will be completely useless.

Unless Sima Tian instantly degraded into a pile of inorganic matter, Bai Ning would not be able to let him go.

“Really, he was really going to die.

However, he did not age instantly.

Ever since he took the initiative to perform the illusion of aging, the cell activity in his body has been continuously decreasing.

In other words, instant aging is an exaggerated performance that numbs people, but it is also the self-destruct button preset by replicants. "

Even if the replicator's existence is unstable and there will be extreme situations where he is greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as he dares to use his own deception function to avoid disasters, he will really enter the countdown to self-destruction.

This self-destruction setting can be regarded as a vulnerability patch for clones who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Does his death mean that new clones will appear?"

Jiang Yingxue had completely lost interest in the old replicator in front of him, who was so weak that he couldn't even speak a word.

What she is currently concerned about is the possibility of other replicants existing.

The underground mausoleum in front of them was too dangerous, and they urgently needed someone who knew the inside story to answer their questions.

"have no idea.

The generation mechanism and delivery mechanism of replicants obviously cannot be created out of thin air like myths and legends.

The cultivation of any organic life requires time, material basis and energy basis.

The emergence of any material life form also requires an established material space channel.

Perhaps, only when in the Blue Bird Relief state, clones will appear in this ancient tomb.

Or, the next time a clone appears, it will be when a shortcut appears in this ancient tomb. "

Bai Ning's guess was very comprehensive, but also quite trivial. It had a certain symbolic meaning, but it had no practical significance.

"According to what you say, I don't think it's possible for clones to appear again.

Perhaps, after the overall defense properties of the ancient tomb were fundamentally changed, Sima Tian, ​​who was trapped in it, had already died.

The death of the current replica is due to the annihilation phenomenon associated with the death of the original body. "

Jiang Yingxue's current response seems to be somewhat pessimistic, but more of it actually wants to express a cautious attitude.

The current danger of this ancient tomb is extremely high, and any chance of it is a kind of blind optimism that deceives oneself and others.

We are all people who have experienced strong winds and waves. It is the best thing to want to use insiders to know the shortcuts. However, having too high expectations for this will only make your subsequent decisions slow.

Sluggishness means laziness, and laziness will miss the few remaining opportunities.
