Song Siyuan seemed to have thought of this and continued to explain: "The corpse will rot entirely because the humid environment is suitable for the survival of bacterial microorganisms in the body. When the microorganisms in the body begin to multiply, the corpse will continue to rot, and then a large amount of gas will be produced in the body. As the gas continues to increase, one day it will reach the threshold and burst through the belly. At this time, the corpse will be completely disemboweled, forming a terrifying state of decay like a giant."
She paused and continued: "If the corpse is kept in a very dry environment with little water, it will directly bypass the decay process of the giant temple and form some mummies with complete bodies and lifelike organs. Those mummies in the Egyptian desert are completely The state of the dried corpses, except that they have been severely shrunk, is no different from their appearance in life. Scientists can even restore their appearance by restoring the shrunken parts."
Speaking of this, she looked at the monk's corpse: "The northwest environment itself is arid and lacks rain, and it is close to the desert, which makes it even more dry. When the monk's corpse died in the niche, there was probably not much water in the underground ditch. Only then could the corpse Thousands of years of dehydration create such a complete appearance.”
"but."
She changed the subject: "Since the corpse already lacks moisture, under frequent disturbances, the already dry skin will gradually lose its elasticity due to the loss of moisture. In the process of ringing bells for thousands of years, the arms' The outer skin is constantly damaged, which also exposes the dried flesh and blood directly to the cold wind, accelerating the degree of decay and loss."
After that, Song Siyuan picked up the discarded wooden board from outside and directly covered the iron plate behind the monk's body. With just this move, the cold wind behind the monk's body disappeared. When the cold wind blowing forward from the monk's body disappeared, then The strength of the body lying forward also disappeared, and it was completely blown by the cold wind from the opposite side to lie on its back, no longer in the same active state as before.
This shows that as long as the cold wind before and after dissipates, the force that promotes the movement of the monk's corpse will be completely unbalanced. Of course, the monk's corpse will not be able to ring the bell with only one force. This situation has proved to everyone that her guess is correct. .
"The secret of the movement of corpses has been solved, so what about the ghost chanting voices on the tower?"
Yue Guanchao looked at the bronze bell under the pagoda.
Song Siyuan seemed to be still doubtful about this. She picked up a flashlight and carefully observed the bell, and used the engineer pickaxe in her hand to strike the bell.
Amidst the disturbance of the engineer's pickaxe, the sound in the bronze bell is still a noisy ghost sound. This shows that the sound of the bronze bell is not controlled by the monk corpse, but is related to this bronze bell. No matter what thing is used to strike the bell, it can cause a sound. The vibrations and such noisy movements occurred.
Song Siyuan struck the bronze bell with an engineering pickaxe: "That's the problem. The bronze bell seems to have some recording function."
She paused and looked at everyone: "Do you still remember the ghost language forest we met in Shennongjia?"
At that time, after they entered Shennongjia, they encountered a forest of pillars that would emit ghost whispers at night. They originally thought it was the ghosts and gods at night who were causing trouble. It was not until they entered some quarrying caves that they discovered the material of the forest of pillars and the texture of the stones in the caves. The material is the same.
After some observation and demonstration, they found that the metal veins mixed in the pillars played a role. They had the function of some simple recorders in the resonance of underground activities, so that they could record all the nearby sounds and wait until night When the stone is vibrated by geothermal heat, it plays in a continuous loop and new sounds are also recorded.
After this incident, they finally solved the secret of the ghost noise disturbing the Ghost Whispering Pillar Forest!
Of course Yue Guanchao knew this, but he obviously didn't believe in such a coincidence. He narrowed his eyes and teased: "Song Qianjin, you can't hear any ghost noises. They say it's a simple tape recorder!"
"I'm not kidding. If you don't believe me, look inside these bells!"
After that, she motioned for everyone to look inside the bronze bell. After the flashlight light shone, everyone stood under the bronze bell and looked at the inner wall of the bronze bell. Sure enough, they found clues.
"Is this red mineral powder?"
Song Siyuan carefully observed the inner wall of the bronze bell. The inner wall was not brass-colored, nor did it have patina caused by corrosion over time. Instead, it showed a slightly dull vermilion color, which looked like it was coated with a layer of red paint.
These paints do not feel like the smooth texture of paint, but are similar to the rough texture of sand and gravel. If you look closely, you can still feel the rough particles on the surface of the paint. It is like touching some sandpaper and scratching the inner layer of the bronze bell with your hands. The presence of larger red particles and a rusty smell confirmed her opinion.
She explained her opinion: "I feel that these pigments should contain a large amount of iron powder, and after oxidation, they show the current dull vermilion color."
"The redness of these paints is a chemical phenomenon caused by the oxidation of iron powder, and the oxidized iron is called iron oxide. This substance can be used to make audio recorders, video recorders, tapes, and telecommunications equipment."
Yue Guanchao had heard her mention the ghosts that appeared on the walls of the Forbidden City before. It was because the red walls of the Forbidden City contained a large amount of iron powder. After oxidation, they formed a redder iron oxide. In the case of thunder, the iron oxide directly becomes He bought video equipment and recorded the images of palace maids and eunuchs walking.
Without knowing the situation, the palace officials in the Forbidden City interpreted the played images as ghosts. It was not until the secret of the palace wall was revealed that the old lady of the former dynasty felt at ease.
At this time, he heard Song Siyuan mention iron oxide again, which was undoubtedly equivalent to seeing the real thing. He asked: "Does that mean that the iron oxide formed after the oxidation of this layer of pigment was recorded in the ancient city under special conditions? sound, just save these sounds,”
Song Siyuan nodded towards him and continued: "This is the principle, but one thing we do have to be clear about is that although these iron oxide pigments can be recorded, in the absence of playback power, it is impossible to actively play the recorded sound. If Metaphorically speaking, it is equivalent to a recorded record that cannot produce any sound without a playback device."
Then, she looked at the monk's corpse: "The disturbance caused by the wind blowing by the corpse directly caused the corpse to start beating the bronze bell. At this time, the bronze bell was equivalent to having some kinetic energy. In the infinite vibration of the bronze bell, , those sounds recorded by the iron ore powder were released by the tower, and those of us who happened to pass by heard it, thinking that it was some evil spirit from the ancient city who was causing trouble."
Xu Xiake asked in confusion: "But why did this monk tie himself to the sutra pestle and even use a rope to fix his waist? Did he know in advance that the cold wind would blow him and deliberately shaped himself into a This state?"
"Perhaps the structure of these bronze bells itself is the masterpiece of these Tibetan monks!"
