"The previous speculation about the dried fruits is likely to be related to immortality, which shows that the topic of seeking immortality is likely to be very common in the fourth civilization.
Some people seek immortality, some do not, and some just pursue it.
If understood from this perspective, the person in the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West is a being who pursues hard, but is limited by the incomplete knowledge system he currently has, so that he eventually becomes disillusioned with immortality.
As for the existence among the ancient ruins of Tunguska, through the study of dried fruits, I have strengthened my belief that I can seek immortality.
I think the conclusion drawn by a civilization in its heyday should be much more credible than this kind of surviving tribe at the end of the world. "
Ever since she identified her truest desire in the ancient ruins of Tunguska, Jiang Yingxue would not let herself fall into confusion because of some relevant clues.
In this comparison, based on a rational judgment, Bai Ning has also tended to the research results in the ancient Tunguska ruins.
It is normal for a surviving clan that has inherited some fragments of civilization to begin to lament the impossibility of immortality due to the limitations of its own research.
If you don’t get what you ask for, if you ask crazily and you don’t get it, you will have strong disillusionment.
This is the basic nature of human beings.
Knowing that it is unavailable, if you want to maintain your own mental health, you can only deceive yourself and others and choose to reconcile with your own desires.
There must be truly open-minded people in this world, but most of them are just pretending to be open-minded.
Looking at these relief murals at this time, the open-mindedness and warning hidden in them are more like a kind of incompetent roar and unwillingness.
I deceive myself and others that immortality is unavailable, and I deceive myself to the point of telling future generations that immortality is unavailable. Isn’t this not an extremely crazy feeling of disillusionment?
"It makes sense.
Our determination of a fact is often based on our understanding of the world.
Under the current observation methods, the distance that humans can observe is only tens of billions of light years. With the current transportation methods of humans, let alone the entire universe, even the visible universe is still far away.
With this understanding, we instinctively believe that the universe is uncrossable.
But if a civilization can realize space jump technology and distort space through wormholes to complete long-distance jumps, then no matter how vast the universe is, it can be crossed in an instant.
This is the different perceptions of the same thing at different technological levels.
As for what controls eternal life, and whether the secrets related to the withered apple are also in this tomb, I think that any speculation is useless. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you further judge the authenticity. "
Bai Ning echoed Jiang Yingxue's understanding and was only cautious about the ancient secrets stored here.
What they can find here has never been related to their established needs, but only related to the core technology mastered by the Xiwangmu clan.
"So, are you planning to open the coffin on site?"
Hearing Bai Ning's remarks, Jiang Yingxue became even more interested in the funerary objects in this huge coffin.
The coffin will be opened now, which is indeed a very bold and wild decision.
“The original decision was to continue digging through the stone strips in the coffin area, hoping to find some necessary clues in the subsequent main tomb chamber.
After a certain amount of reasoning, it was concluded that this huge coffin was the real location of the ancient heritage, so it was inevitable to open the coffin.
However, there may also be some fatal traps hidden in the coffin, so we can only be cautious at the moment. "
Bai Ning's overall attitude was very clear. If he wanted to open the coffin, he would have to face huge risks.
Given the thickness of the stone in this coffin, it is basically impossible to cause it to collapse through the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.
However, if gunpowder is used to blow it up, it may destroy the ancient relics in the coffin. This dilemma becomes very tangled.
“Let’s dig out the stone strips first and take a look.
This coffin is likely to be interconnected with the mechanism under the floor. If the corresponding trigger mechanism can be cut off, the coffin opening operation may be better. "
Professor Huang stood up at the right time and expressed his overall views.
The three of them continued to discuss the relevant details for a while, and the work here was gradually laid out.
In order to prevent the coffin from being too heavy and crushing the holed floor, the bodyguard team welded a simple iron frame to pre-fix the coffin.
The excavation of the stone strips seemed to be very familiar. After a while, the six layers of stone strips here were fully opened.
Unlike the expected cold wind hitting the face, a large amount of warm air slowly rose, filling the newly opened hole with a thick icy mist.
Judging from the current results, there is probably a room-temperature tomb underneath this huge tomb.
Even more bold guesses were made. The cold current in the wind duct only connected the three surface tombs. As for the deeper tombs, they were still at normal temperature.
This evidence of correlation further proves the possibility that Bai Ning had guessed before:
The ice wind duct was opened later. The so-called exchange of hot and cold tomb chambers at the beginning was just the replacement of a tomb chamber roof through the tomb chamber mechanism.
"According to your speculation, below this should be the stone bar that sank in the first place.
If you are lucky, those who were missing at the beginning can even survive under this extreme. "
Even if the bodyguards who disappeared along with the structure of the tomb were not thrown or smashed to death, they were probably frozen to death by the low temperature environment in the tomb.
Now seeing the possible survival environment, Jiang Yingxue deliberately asked, just to tell all the other bodyguards that they had not given up on anyone.
This effect of gathering people's hearts is very good. No one wants to be given up as cannon fodder. Even if they must die, they all hope that their bodies can be exhumed.
"Let the drone go down and take a look. I think the space down here is probably bigger than we expected."
Bai Ning responded lightly, and Jiang Yingxue didn't say anything more. She just waved to the relevant personnel to prepare immediately.
Not long after, a drone flew slowly and slowly deep into the cave under the command of the operator.
The light from the drone made the environment inside the tomb brighter. It was certain that there was no light-absorbing material before it was painted.
Continuing to fly forward for a certain distance, a large number of rough traces of artificial excavation appeared in front of everyone. This area looked more like a natural cave that had been artificially repaired.
Is this really a natural cave extending downward?
Everyone continued to watch the pictures fed back by the drone with various questions. As they continued forward, they could indeed see the outlines of some natural caves. Many large rocks were rugged and abrupt, and they could even be seen on them. The remains of many shellfish creatures.
The drone flew to the end and found a stone door across the end of the cave. Perhaps this was the entrance to the real tomb.
At Bai Ning's request, the drone continued to fly around, leaving no trace of stone except for a large number of similar huge rocks.
Judging from the information currently available, the stone storage area that was replaced was probably not in this real tomb passage.
Jiang Yingxue seemed to want to express some opinions, but Bai Ning's eyes stopped her, so she could only swallow them temporarily.
The drone flew back at a faster speed this time. After passing through the entrance of the cave, it continued to fly in the other direction. Not long after, another stone door blocked the tunnel.
"There are stone gates on both sides. Do you think this is a simple multiple-choice question?"
The basic situation in the tomb below had been understood. Jiang Yingxue finally couldn't hold back anymore and directly asked this somewhat simple and unanswerable question.
"no.
What extends downward should be the real tomb chamber door, and what extends upward is the ancillary structure of the three-story tomb chamber.
You should know that we have not yet found out the location of the ice storage room. Perhaps it is not located in the real tomb area of the Queen Mother of the West. "
As soon as Bai Ning said this, the hearts of other relevant personnel sank.
The ice storage room is not deeper, which means that the previously missing people probably fell next to the ice storage room. With the thin clothes they were wearing, the probability of freezing to death is close to 100%.
"You mean that the tomb we are currently in is just the upper burial structure of the Queen Mother of the West's mausoleum.
Are all the mechanisms and traps we have experienced before just protective mechanisms for the people in the coffin?
So, what kind of real threats do you think we will encounter once we open the real tomb of Queen Mother of the West? "
The real mausoleum of Queen Mother of the West is built in an underground cave tightly wrapped by rock layers. You can imagine how difficult it is to break into the cave.
Furthermore, if the collapse is triggered during the door blowing process, the entire Xiwangmu Mausoleum may sink into a deeper cave. By then, they can only meet the Xiwangmu again if they are determined to dig out the earth.
Obviously, they do not have this comfortable environment to slowly dig the earth, and it is absolutely impossible to have such conditions.
“The function of the burial mausoleum is to serve as the guardian of the mausoleum of the Queen Mother of the West.
Since the builder of this mausoleum took great pains to design such a double tomb, he had the intention to prevent the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West from being disturbed.
If we forcibly demolish the stone door leading to the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West, perhaps the upper chamber will completely collapse.
And, I firmly believe that is the case. "
Bai Ning gave his judgment on the structure here, which seemed to indicate that if they wanted to find corresponding clues here, this was the only coffin left.
