Wouldn't such a huge falling stone break through the floor and fall into the lower tomb?
The ceiling that suspends the boulders and the floor that supports the boulders are both so strong that ordinary stone tombs cannot withstand it. The only possibility is that this boulder tomb is a huge stone cave that was dug out separately.
In other words, the original builder of the tomb dug a huge stone hole in the wall of the tomb shaft just to house this huge stone with unknown purpose.
We even speculated a little deeper that the main structure of this boulder was the rock that originally formed the cave.
Everyone returned with questions, especially Professor Huang, who was even more interested in this sudden boulder.
In the opinion of archaeologists, some meaningless objects that suddenly appear represent more of a cultural symbolism.
Or, it may be some records and descriptions of the life of the tomb owner.
The boulder fell exactly in the center of the tomb, and the surrounding space was only about one or two meters, so only one person could pass through it alone.
Bai Ning walked around in it and found that the surface of the boulder was smooth, as if someone had deliberately polished it.
What could a square, mirror-smooth boulder mean?
Could it be that there is a mysterious entrance beneath the boulder, and is this entrance the real entrance to the tomb?
After a round of inquiries yielded no results, Bai Ning asked someone to put up steps and climb to the top of the stone to have a look.
As a result, there was nothing else except a huge alloy hook in the middle.
The only surprise is that there are some recessed embellishments on the metal hook base. Based on the previous Azure Dragon star chart, it looks like some kind of astrological icon.
There was only a broken bronze hook at the top of the tomb, which looked like it was of poor quality.
However, everyone knows that this huge stone has been hanging quietly here for thousands of years. Even if it is made of bronze, its strength cannot be underestimated.
Bai Ning inspected the brand new bronze fracture, which seemed to have collapsed suddenly due to force.
While he was shocked, Bai Ning thought of another possibility, that is, the quality of the bronze hook itself was not good, and its purpose was to break instantly.
In other words, this huge stone has been held up by something for thousands of years.
It wasn't until just now that the thing holding it up sank, and the stone fell heavily to the ground.
If you think about it a little more, this descending channel is probably the previous wind channel.
The boulders pressed against the wind duct, interrupting the air-conditioning circulation in this area, and the temperature in the tomb chamber outside would gradually rise. Eventually, the ancient virus in the iron arrows would be detonated, causing all the people who passed by to get sick and die.
This huge stone is equivalent to a piece of evidence for Bai Ning's previous overall conjecture.
"It seems that we are no longer qualified to continue digging before the ventilation channel is reopened."
As soon as Bai Ning said this, Jiang Yingxue focused her eyes, making her instantly realize that beneath the boulder was the wind channel that had disappeared before.
This boulder would be very difficult to navigate without tools, but with their current engineering capabilities, it wouldn't take much time.
But Bai Ning expressed this conclusion alone, which showed that in his opinion, this boulder might be more difficult to deal with than expected.
Looking at it as a whole, this smooth surface is very deliberate.
It stands to reason that even to ensure the airtightness of the sealing, it is enough to make the bottom surface smooth.
Making other surfaces so flat is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also affects transportation.
“What, do you think there’s anything wrong with this boulder?
Could it be that there are some special traps hidden in this huge stone? "
Jiang Yingxue really couldn't figure out what secrets this huge stone could hide, so she could only ask this question. She also glanced at Professor Huang, wanting to see what unique insights he, an archaeological expert, had.
"Judging from the overall shape of this boulder, there is nothing special about it.
If there is anything special about it, it is only the smooth mirror-like stone surface.
If rocks want to be polished as smooth as a mirror surface, the density of the rock is very high. Like the surface rocks we are currently in, it is basically difficult to polish them to a mirror surface.
Especially for such a huge mirror, it is even more rare. "
Professor Huang is also an expert in jade. He sighed like he was lamenting a huge piece of naturally carved jade.
“Although this huge stone is only used to suppress a wind tunnel, since it can be carefully decorated, this already shows that it is extraordinary.
According to the usual habits of the builders of this tomb, chain traps are only the most basic trap design method.
If this wind tunnel was opened so easily, it would be a bit too much to underestimate the builder of this mausoleum. "
Bai Ning once again considered the current problem from the perspective of a mausoleum builder, which immediately made the atmosphere in the venue tense.
Based on the previous tragic trap, as long as they make a wrong step, they will die on the spot.
Due to the huge size of this boulder, not to mention the strong bows and crossbows contained in it, even if it just suddenly disintegrates, the falling rocks will be enough to crush nearby people.
"Since it's so troublesome and this stone room is a separate space, let's find a suitable angle and blow it up."
Jiang Yingxue cut through the mess quickly and was about to blow up this obstructing boulder.
“Theoretically, it’s not possible.
This boulder was previously lifted up by support pillars. The structure of these support pillars is likely to completely block the air duct after the boulder is damaged. If it is a systematic type, the price to be paid may be high if you want to dig it again. great.
The best way at present is to dig holes.
However, before that, we need to take a closer look at this stone that looks like a huge whole. "
Bai Ning's implication is that this boulder may be a huge complex, and it looks much more sophisticated than expected.
If the overall damage is done randomly, once the precise structure of the air duct below is completely damaged, then they may really start digging the mountain.
"Why, did you see any clues on these smooth surfaces?
Or, do you think all the mechanisms of this boulder are inside the huge piece of alloy at the top?
There are indeed some spots on it, but what does this mean?
It's not like some keyhole. "
Jiang Yingxue also had some doubts about Bai Ning's desire to solve the problem.
Along the way, Bai Ning used violent methods to dig out the tomb passage. Why did he start to use Qiaojin when he got to this huge stone?
“The metal disc at the top of the boulder may be the key to fitting the entire boulder, but if you try to start with it, you may only detonate the entire boulder.
As Professor Huang said before, only deep rocks have such characteristics as smooth mirror surfaces, which means that the surface of the boulder is just a rock shell.
As long as it is broken into pieces, the internal structure of the boulder can be clearly understood. "
Bai Ning's remarks were reasonable and well-founded, but to Jiang Yingxue's ears, they still lacked enforceability.
Not to mention how difficult it is to break the outer rock shell. Once the mechanism inside the rock shell is triggered in this way, the person responsible for breaking the stone will definitely die.
"Are you here to knock this dangerous big mine shell off?"
After going around and around, Bai Ning brought the topic back to the original point, and Jiang Yingxue scratched it without any pain.
"Need not.
The so-called thermal expansion and contraction, as long as a layer of gunpowder line is laid on the surface of the rock at minus 20 degrees, the high temperature of the gunpowder burning can cause an obvious crack in the rock shell.
As long as there are enough such cracks, the rock shell of this boulder will naturally disintegrate. "
This is the reverse application of burning rocks and cracking them with water, and it is also the best way to solve the current problem.
The burning of gunpowder will not produce shock waves and will naturally not cause any chain reactions. Even if there are some strong bows and crossbows inside, the damage caused will be limited.
Facing such a calm and calm Bai Ning, Jiang Yingxue seemed a little speechless. Was she leaving a message on purpose?
However, she also felt that Bai Ning would not be so bored, and guessed that it was more of a quick wit.
In other words, Bai Ning's methods are far superior to everyone here in terms of the power he has in his hands.
"Then let's get started."
Jiang Yingxue didn't say much, and simply started arranging her hands to lay gunpowder lines on the surface of the boulder.
Not long after, with the sharp sound of the electronic detonator, everyone hiding in the upper tomb chamber only heard the rapid burning sound of the gunpowder rope, and the crisp and crisp sounds that followed.
"Crash."
With a final crunching sound, the rock shell wrapped around the boulder no longer existed.
There was no sound of the powerful bows and crossbows piercing the air, nor the clanging sound of arrows hitting the rock wall, nor was it known what was wrapped in the rock shell.
After waiting for a while, and seeing that there was no danger of delay, I sent someone down to do a preliminary inspection.
The images sent back from the camera showed that the inside of the boulder was a very precise overall structure. Many mechanical structures were wrapped in thick rocks, making it difficult for people to know their specific functions for a while.
Bai Ning quickly came to the boulder and seemed even more puzzled by the huge mechanical structure in front of him.
As far as the surface mechanical structure is concerned, no particularly precise parts have been found, let alone any electronic devices. It is just much more sophisticated than some of the silly, big, black and thick mechanical structures we have encountered before.
The difference between the two is that the inside of this huge stone is more like a precise mechanical clock.
"What do you think this is for?
A stone used to hold down the wind duct has such a precise structure inside it, it's like carving on the ballast stone.
In addition, these things don't seem to be working. Wouldn't it be a bit redundant to put a dead object here?
Or maybe, it's not time to use it yet.
If we open the air duct, will it also activate it and give us a severe blow? "
Jiang Yingxue was also very shocked by the precise structure inside the boulder, but she was still more puzzled and confused.
