"Are you saying that the human race currently existing in the fifth civilization is just a human subspecies with tiger teeth and leopard tail?
So, what are the basic physical characteristics of the mainstream race of the fourth civilization? "
Bai Ning's judgment made Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but recall some relevant information obtained in the sleep deprivation laboratory, which also contained certain speculations about the legendary species of vampires.
If half-orcs with tiger teeth and leopard tails are a special subspecies, then are things like vampires, werewolves, elves, and goblins in Western myths and legends also real human subspecies?
Think about the various genetic creatures found in the Tunguska Gene Temple. Since the Fourth Civilization can conduct genetic experiments on animals, genetic experiments on humans must also exist.
Even if there are some ethical conventions and conventions, there will only be mainstream and low-stream ones, and human genetic experiments will not be completely eliminated.
Creating humans is an extremely difficult task, whether in various myths and legends or under the current technological system.
Creating a new kind of sub-human is bound to be a fatal attraction for some obsessed mad scientists.
“According to the Eastern and Western myths and legends about the creation of humans, at most it can only be determined that the human race of the fourth civilization is a humanoid creature with a limb structure.
Both orcs and humans belong to this category. Can we use this similarity to pretend to be the Queen Mother of the West? "
After some thought, Jiang Yingxue came up with a suggestion to pretend to be a member of the Queen Mother of the West clan. It didn't seem to be difficult to put on a tiger-tooth mask and add a leopard tail.
"If the test at the mausoleum requires blood testing, that is, genetic testing, what should we do then?"
The suggestion given by Jiang Yingxue may have some possibility, but Bai Ning obviously thought more comprehensively.
Thinking about it, it seems that it is not impossible for a being with replication technology to do some genetic matching verification.
After all the twists and turns, everyone returned to the original starting point.
“If the normal road cannot be used, then demolish it by force.
Anyway, it is just a shallow ancient tomb. If it can be built, we can dismantle it into pieces. "
Bai Ning's response made everyone present smile.
If they hadn't wanted to limit the impact within a controllable range, everyone would have demolished this ancient tomb long ago. It was just some stones, which were like tofu in front of modern stone diggers.
Time flies by, and subsequent fleets of equipment are arriving one after another. The equipment is very complete. The equipment in extremely cold areas is just the basics. It is even equipped with insulating suits for volcano exploration and pressure suits for shallow sea exploration.
It is no exaggeration to say that the equipment in this fleet can safely explore any place on the earth.
After preparations were completed, everyone gathered in the central area of the stone forest again. A large number of lifting equipment was quickly erected. Due to the increase in manpower, the work efficiency was also greatly increased.
More than an hour later, the first stone bar was lifted again, and a fierce cold current spurted out instantly, which suddenly alerted the people working nearby.
The personnel responsible for lifting speeded up and quickly emptied all six stone bars. In order to prevent the cold air from escaping, the relevant personnel quickly erected an insulated tent at the entrance of the cave.
Not long after, the temperature inside the entire tent dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius. The people wearing polar cold-proof clothing felt nothing, but the white mist they exhaled greatly obstructed their vision.
High-brightness searchlights shine deep into the cave, and the depth that the light can enter is significantly increased. Apart from a large number of mechanical structures covered with frost, there are no passages.
If you insist on exploring downwards, the space inside can accommodate a person to travel through, but it would be wishful thinking to carry more equipment.
"What should I do? Do I need to make more holes elsewhere?"
There is not even a downward tunnel, and there is no passage space for luggage. In fact, this is no different from dying.
"Keep drilling."
Although Bai Ning really wanted to go down and check it out, considering the integrity and danger of the tomb, he felt that he should continue to wait and see.
The order was given, and the group continued to drill holes in a familiar way again.
Another stone bar was lifted up, and just as it was about to be transferred to the side, an iron arrow was suddenly shot out from the cave, and it was suddenly nailed to the stone bar, causing a huge explosion that made people's ears hurt.
Everyone has an established concept of the hardness of the stone bars. Iron arrows can be driven directly into them, and their strength is so great that this is no longer the height that ordinary bed crossbows can reach.
Furthermore, what kind of elastic mechanical structure can still maintain such sufficient elasticity after thousands of years?
This reminded Bai Ning of the bronze sword unearthed from the burial pit of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. After thousands of years of bending, it could rebound to its original state the moment the heavy object was removed.
"Go on, move the stone bar away quickly."
Bai Ning shouted loudly, and the operator was so shocked that he quickly started operating subconsciously.
In the next moment, a large number of iron arrows shot out from the underground hole like locusts. The group of iron arrows drew a beautiful arc and shattered a stone pillar not far away.
Seeing such a powerful arrow-feather offensive, most of the people nearby were frightened.
If the stone bars are not removed, let alone whether the broken stones will trigger some mechanism in the mausoleum again, it is said that the stone bars will shake in the initial rain of arrows. Once some iron arrows pass through the smooth The stone surface changes the flight trajectory, and everyone here will start a game of gambling.
In order to understand the structure of the mausoleum, the bodyguards in charge of related equipment began to send light sources and search cameras into the mausoleum.
The result was also very horrifying. It was densely packed with arrows. The arrows that were shot alone before were probably just caused by mechanical failures.
"continue."
Bai Ning waved his hand, signaling everyone to start hoisting the stone bars.
Fortunately, the hoisting direction this time was moved directly to the side. The arrow rain had no impact except stirring up some stone chips on the edge of the stone strips.
As the hoisting became more and more proficient, the arrows in the mausoleum were like a kind of decoration out of thin air. Apart from breaking a large number of stone pillars, they could not harm anyone here at all.
This feeling is as if the mechanical structure in the mausoleum has aged, so that the transmission structure of the machinery has slowed down and cannot fire arrows at the moment when the stone strips are uncovered.
"Pause."
After waiting to lift six stone bars in a row, when it needed to be rebuilt due to the installation angle of the equipment, Bai Ning stopped the process directly.
"What, did you find something wrong?"
Jiang Yingxue asked instinctively, looking a little confused about Bai Ning's overly cautious behavior.
Isn't it normal for the mechanisms in the tomb to be aging? The first batch of arrows were fired in two batches.
"The aging of the mechanism may cause the mechanism to be activated late, but it may also cause the mechanism to activate prematurely.
But now, all the arrows have delayed activation, which is very strange.
In addition, each wave of arrows can destroy a batch of stone pillars. This result makes the meaning of the existence of these arrows more complicated.
Although these stone pillars are the external structure of the mausoleum and seem to have no connection with the organs inside the mausoleum, who can be sure that these stone pillars are really just ordinary stone pillars?
Thinking about the previous icon copying incidents, this shows that some of the stone pillars may be much more important than expected.
Let Professor Huang analyze it as a whole first.
Perhaps, these destroyed stone pillars are some very important stars in Qinglong Qisu, and they also represent some very important metaphors. "
Bai Ning's guess made Jiang Yingxue unable to refute it. If the destruction of the stone pillars really represented some variables, once the dense arrows under their feet fired a volley, there was no telling what this place would look like.
"Bosses, Professor Huang wants you to stop construction immediately."
The personnel sent out to search had just set off when Liu Cheng's familiar loud voice sounded loudly not far away. It seemed that Professor Huang, who had studied Iron Arrow in the past, also discovered something.
In response, Jiang Yingxue glanced at Bai Ning subconsciously, and once again expressed some unexpected appreciation for his keen sense of smell and cautious attitude.
After waiting for a moment, the panting Professor Huang rushed over quickly with the help of Liu Cheng.
"Everyone, look at this iron arrow. Its material is not ordinary wrought iron, but special steel mixed with rare metals."
After panting for a long time, Professor Huang was able to speak, and motioned to the bodyguards who were following him to hand two iron arrows to Jiang Yingxue and Bai Ning respectively.
There was an iron arrow stuck in the first stone bar. Professor Huang discovered this and went to study the place where the arrow landed.
If an iron arrow contains rare metals, this can be explained as a coincidence, but a large number of iron arrows are like industrial products made from the same furnace of steel, which is very telling.
Such superb metal smelting technology is enough to show how powerful the Queen Mother of the West made her related technology.
This power is not limited to smelting technology, but also includes mineral identification and mining technology.
Although this kind of thing is very common nowadays, if you put it in the ancient times thousands of years ago, it will inadvertently have a strong mythological color.
"The Goujian Sword of King Yue and the bronze sword unearthed from the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang are both masterpieces of the master swordsmith, and the other is an assembly line product of the Qin State's military industry.
The two anti-oxidation technologies, Yuewangjian is copper sulfide technology, and Qinjian is chromium salt oxidation treatment method.
The chromium salt oxidation treatment method was lost and was not discovered again until 1937.
In 1937, nearly seventy years had passed since the periodic table of elements was proposed. One can imagine the prosperity of chemistry.
Metal forging seems to be metallurgy and materials science, but without the necessary chemical knowledge, it is actually similar to the alchemy of ancient alchemists.
If you're lucky, you can randomly experiment with some secret recipes, but if you're not lucky, you can still produce gunpowder and kill someone.
The bronze technology of the Warring States Period was extremely advanced, which may be due to the day-to-day experience accumulated by the ancestors, or there may be some imaginative ancient inheritance in it. "
These alloy iron arrows reminded Bai Ning again of the terracotta warriors and horses pitting Qin Jian.
Although it took more than a thousand years for bronzes to appear, multiply and reach their peak, the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties have already reached their peak. Many bronzes are difficult to restore even with modern technology.
This kind of systematic technology appears almost suddenly, especially in a slave society with such low productivity, it is difficult not to make people think about it.
