Bai Ning's association, coupled with the alloy iron arrow in his hand, seemed to confirm their previous conjecture about the origin of the Queen Mother of the West's civilization.
“These core iron arrows predate the emergence of bronze tools and the use of iron tools, which is very telling.
In addition to this, Professor Huang, you should have some other discoveries. "
Professor Huang ordered them to stop working with great fanfare, certainly not just to let them admire a few iron arrows from ancient times.
"right.
The existence of these iron arrows can make people daydream, but the damage they cause can make people shudder. "
Professor Huang's words seemed a bit exaggerated. He took out another tablet and pulled out an overhead view of the stone forest that had been revised earlier.
The part circled by the red circle should be the stone forest area destroyed by the arrow feathers.
It can be seen at a glance that most of the stone pillars damaged by the iron arrows are located among the 186 stone pillars that make up Qinglong Qisu.
"What do these destroyed stars represent?"
Looking at the destroyed part of the constellation map, Jiang Yingxue asked.
"Most of the areas damaged by iron arrows are between Spica and Di, which is Kangxi.
This part represents the dragon's neck. It is said that the dragon has reverse scales and will be angry if touched. The iron arrows concentrate on destroying this part of the area, which seems to be warning us. "
Professor Huang's analysis is based on the physical distribution of Qinglong Qisu, but more of it is just some stream-of-consciousness level analysis.
The danger of this mausoleum was fully realized when we first came into contact with it. Now it is almost meaningless to continue to make some intimidation analysis.
Furthermore, as long as the mechanism of the arrow formation is delayed longer and the tomb robbers come in through the gap before firing, the deterrent effect of killing a few tomb robbers will definitely be much stronger than using the dragon's neck metaphor of Qinglong Qisu. .
To put it bluntly, assuming that the tomb robbers did not pay attention to the iron arrow gathering area in the stone forest due to different concerns, then the hint of the tomb designer can be described as meaningless and pretentious.
Using the important anti-theft arrow array equipment to destroy the overall pattern of the stone forest, its results are not very necessary. This is meaningless from any perspective.
“This suggestion is not very feasible.
Qinglong Qisu is composed of a total of 186 stone pillars. If you are not very proficient in the understanding of the stars, or have an aerial perspective like a drone, ordinary people will not be able to discover it at all.
Even if the appearance of Qinglong Qisu represents a kind of inheritance test that the builders of the mausoleum want to convey, and will be noticed by interested people, it does not make sense that the designers of the mausoleum used arrow rain to deliberately destroy the stone forest.
Unless, such destruction has special significance in terms of testing.
Otherwise, such a costly move does not make sense. "
Bai Ning's systematic analysis made everyone present fall into deep thought.
Under this level of analysis, the inverse scale speculation proposed by Professor Huang also seems a bit naive.
If this was a warning, was there a mistake in warning the subject about the direction of entry into the tomb?
Isn't it contradictory to add reminders during the test?
Since it is a test for the inheritors, the relevant mechanism of the mausoleum will only be responsible for the results of the test, and it will be strictly implemented.
"It makes sense.
If you think according to the subject's overall logic, it is indeed inappropriate to interpret the dragon's neck as an inverted scale.
If it cannot be interpreted from the perspective of a warning, then it can only be interpreted from the perspective of the test questions.
Kangsu is the second place of Dongfang Canglong, which includes seven star officials: Kang, Dajiao, Zhewei, Left Sheti, Right Sheti, Dunwan, and Yangmen, a total of 22 stars.
Among them, Arcturus is very bright. It is the fourth brightest star in the sky and the brightest star in the northern sky. Because of this, ancient astrologers believed that Arcturus was the symbol of the emperor.
Judging from the specific damage areas of the arrow rain, most of the arrows are concentrated in the Arcturus official area.
Analyzing it from this perspective, could it be that what awaits us is a test specially designed for emperors? "
Professor Huang reinterpreted it based on the direction of the test question prompts. If you understand it literally, the test hidden behind this tomb passage will be very difficult.
Even thinking about it a little more seriously, this may be the most difficult test of all.
"The Queen Mother of the West is the supreme ruler here, and her inheritance test is also set for the ZTE leaders among future generations, so the difficulty is naturally there.
Based on this, this seems to be more evidence that the path we are currently taking is correct. "
Bai Ning's judgment was full of optimism, which surprised Professor Huang, but left Jiang Yingxue not at all surprised.
Seeing the greatest benefits hidden in risks is the basic quality that an explorer should possess.
What's more, Bai Ning has never been afraid of any danger, and can even enjoy the sense of accomplishment that danger brings.
“Since the expectations here are benign, let’s move on.
The arrow array in this area has not been fully displayed yet, and there may be some special hints later. "
Jiang Yingxue signaled all the personnel to continue the work. With the previous experience as a foundation, the subsequent process of removing the stone strips seemed to be much smoother.
The subsequent arrow rain never touched the stone strips again, and all shot into the stone forest according to the predetermined trajectory.
It wasn't until the fourth stone bar that no arrows continued to shoot out of the mausoleum.
According to rough statistics, there are nine arrow arrays hidden under the stone bars.
"Nine, with this number appearing, it seems that Boss Bai's previous guess is basically correct.
On the 95th, the flying dragon is in the sky.
Nine is the extreme number, and five is in the middle. Therefore, "Nine Five" symbolizes the authority of the emperor, and there is a saying that "Nine Five" is the supreme number.
The flying dragon in the sky is the celestial phenomenon currently displayed in the stone forest. The arrows under the nine stone slabs are all aimed at the Arcturus official representing the emperor. What else can be wrong with this? "
Just by realizing that there were nine stone slabs from which the arrows were shot, Professor Huang's entire face became excited.
Without even re-confirming the specific directions of the arrows shot from the three subsequent stone slabs, he had already interpreted all the current signs in detail.
Just in case, Bai Ning asked Liu Cheng to take the personnel to confirm. Liu Cheng, who was already quite excited, jumped out in a hurry.
"Indeed, as Professor Huang said, the remaining arrows are also concentrated in the previous area."
Not long after, Liu Cheng's high-pitched voice with an excited tone came back from afar.
Everything points to the right direction of reasoning, which also indicates that their current direction is correct.
Without any hesitation, the drone used for initial exploration rushed down directly, but not long after flying out, the drone exploded and crashed.
The plane crashed inexplicably, and there was nothing unusual in the relevant photography. This was very strange.
“The temperature inside the tomb was already well below minus ten degrees, and the drone’s rotor was too cold and shut down.
The camera was still working, and no new dangers were discovered. "
The person in charge of the drone checked it briefly and reported the specific situation.
Since there was no danger, Bai Ning rushed in with a few men.
It was colder than expected in the tomb passage, with the body temperature feeling about 20 to 30 degrees below zero. The cold air inhaled stimulated the nasal cavity, and the feeling of heart-to-heart cooling was full of cold winter atmosphere.
A strong searchlight has been set up at the entrance to the tomb passage, and the situation in this area is clear. The previous arrow array equipment was sealed behind a row of stone walls full of holes.
The probe went deep inside, and it was pitch black inside. Within the light range, some mechanical structures could be seen. They were not complicated, but the texture was absolutely cold and hard.
He passed the strong flashlight deep into the tomb passage, but it was still bottomless darkness, and he didn't know if there was any light-absorbing material in it.
In order to prevent some of the most basic traps, Bai Ning took a hiking pole to explore the path ahead. The ground he hit was solid and dull, and it didn't seem like there were any traps in place.
The advancement at this time was slow. About a hundred meters ahead, forks in the road began to appear.
There seemed to be a chilling and terrifying ghost story hidden behind every fork in the road. Bai Ning glanced at it briefly before returning to the original starting point.
"How about it, what's in it?
Is there a dragon chair? "
Jiang Yingxue, who was standing above, saw Bai Ning returning and knew that he had not discovered anything extra, so he made a casual joke or two.
During this time, other personnel had completed setting up the thermal insulation tent. The temperature inside the tent was also extremely low, and everyone wearing cold-proof clothing was very bloated.
"There are many forks inside, and every road feels like a dead end."
Bai Ning's response was very brief, which made Jiang Yingxue's slightly playful smile instantly fade.
Before the secrets here are unlocked, all temporary victories are nothing but paralyzing poisons. Excessive relaxation will only make you die miserably in the next step.
"In order to reduce subsequent risks, we may need to dismantle more parts of the tomb than expected.
Let people continue to expand the size of the insulated tent. The previous arrow formation area alone will be enough for us to be busy for a long time. "
Bai Ning's follow-up supplement is plain and simple, but the challenges contained in it are not simple.
If they are unlucky, maybe they will all be destroyed in some inexplicable trap, without even a chance to save themselves.
The cruelty of facts can never be measured by imagination.
Even if everyone has intensively summarized and thought about various details here before, the conclusions drawn also show that their current progress is going smoothly, but guessing is just guessing.
Assumptions are just assumptions, and more often than not, they are self-deceiving assumptions.
