Then, they groped for the chassis and found a copper tongue from the chassis. After opening the copper tongue, they found a square copper plate that opened outwards. Since it was completely sealed inside, not much dust got in, but there was just a layer of floating dust. , does not waste time.
Yue Guanchao picked up the flashlight and illuminated the space under the chassis for them. He took this opportunity to observe the structure of the chassis. He always thought that the chassis below was a solid cast metal disc, which could be used as a counterweight to support the metal. The weight of the ball and the metal ring is a bit taken for granted now.
There are many bowl-sized copper lamps at the bottom of the chassis. These copper lamps are assembled into hexagons and completely cover the bottom of the copper plate, forming a structure similar to a honeycomb. Each honeycomb copper lamp has a wick as thick as a finger. The pillar is one inch higher than the entire mouth of the bowl, and a rope made of wick material is wrapped around the pillar. .
Judging from the scorch marks, it was most likely that it had been burned. When he looked at the copper cup, he could already see the oil that had not completely evaporated. It was like light yellow lard that had completely solidified, as if it had been burned. A candle as thick as a bowl is among these lamps.
After talking about the ground floor of the chassis, let’s talk about the four walls of the chassis. The most common thing here is the silver-plated bronze mirror.
The height of these bronze mirrors is the same as the height of the chassis, and the width is close to half a meter, forming a bronze mirror slightly larger than the pot lid. These bronze mirrors are slightly protruding from the four walls of the chassis and are connected to each other, completely covering the inner wall of the chassis. Covered.
All these structures appear around the central support rod. You can see that the support rod is a hollow structure, connected to the chassis, and then there is nothing.
Yue Guanchao asked: "How to use this thing?"
Gu Hengxi took out the fire stick in his hand and lit one of the wicks. The flame of the wick jumped, gradually returned to stability, and bloomed with bright and dim light. Then, the flames flowed along the pillar to other wicks, but within a breath, the bottom of the wick was already visible. All the flames in are lit.
A large number of candlelights illuminated the entire interior of the chassis. It was no longer dark and chaotic, and every component could be seen clearly.
During this process, the light of the flame was constantly refracted, reflected, and reflected by the surrounding mirrors, and extremely bright spots began to appear, as if a sun was thrown into the chassis, and the resulting light emitted countless rays in an instant. These rays The light spots and light spots are intertwined with each other. In the design of the light structure, they are completely concentrated on the hollow tube where the support rod is located. .
This situation of the candle flame has been shown to be affected by the mirror optical effect, forming a blazing white light as bright as the sun inside the chassis. This brightness has completely exceeded the brightness of the candle flame. In just this moment, the crystal ball in the middle of the phantom prophecy device Completely lit up, it was like a sun suddenly appearing in the dark tower.
Their eyes are accustomed to dark environments, and suddenly being stimulated by this bright light is like being punched in the face. They cry and feel sore. It is not until they put on the prepared sunglasses that they can fully recover. Back to normal.
"Isn't this brightness too high?" After Song Siyuan put on her sunglasses, the soreness around her eyes disappeared, which showed how dazzling the light blooming in the crystal ball was.
Gu Hengxi retorted: "The purpose of the phantom prophecy is to create a huge illusion for millions of people to see. The brightness of the candlelight must be the highest. Without this brightness, it would be impossible for many people to see a common illusion. "
As they were talking, a rumbling sound began to be heard from under the floor around them, as if some mechanism had been touched. They saw that all the window lattice outside the eaves of the nine-story tower opened automatically, and the light was rapidly shining out in all directions of the mandala through the window, as if it were a city. A high-brightness lighthouse appeared in the middle, illuminating the mandala as bright as day.
Yue Guanchao took this opportunity to walk into the window and look out to the outside world through the window sill. The originally dark and chaotic world gradually receded from darkness. The city of Sand Sea began to lift its dark veil, revealing its true face to the public. This feeling seemed to be what they were looking at. The black-and-white photos are gradually returning to color. The details of palaces and temples, pavilions, residences, commercial streets, gardens, rivers, bridges and towers in the city are beginning to be enriched in the light. It is no longer the case without a light source. The gray and black horror I saw.
"Other temples seem to have this kind of prophecy, and I seem to have seen the top floors of other golden pagodas.
Also glowing. "
When Yue Guanchao observed the outside world, he could easily see that all the temples from the inside to the outside were glowing. If you look closely, the light was emitted from the golden-domed pagoda in the temple. However, these temples were small in size after all, and the light emitted was Of course, it is not as good as the tall pagoda in the center. In any case, one thing is completely certain. Judging from the structure and arrangement of the temple, these lights are centered on the tall tower where they are located, constantly blooming.
Gu Hengxi noticed the weirdness of the current situation, and followed him to the window sill, carefully observing the layout of these lights. Indeed, with the tower where they were located as the center, they were continuously arranged towards the inner and outer city and the temples on the city wall, forming stars. The lighting pattern of the arching moon.
It can even be seen that the golden light emitted from this golden-domed pagoda completely falls on all the small golden-domed towers, inspiring endless golden light. The combined brightness also completely dispels the last trace of darkness in the sinkhole.
The entire city was dyed with bright colors from black and white to gray, restoring the gorgeous and extravagant Imperial City of Shanshan thousands of years ago. To describe it accurately, it is like a sleeping withered corpse gradually taking on a soul and body, and becoming new again. of brilliance.
"Why do these other towers light up?" Yue Guanchao was excited, but also curious about what was happening in front of him.
Gu Hengxi observed the surrounding situation, nodded to him and said: "The rumbling sound we heard just now is that we activated the mechanism of the phantom prophecy instrument. Judging from these arrangement patterns, all temple towers seem to have phantom prophecies. If the instrument exists, the rotation of those mechanisms may trigger the mechanisms of other towers, causing a joint response from these temple towers. It is not surprising that a situation like this will occur."
"Now, let's see what we can find out from the phantom prophecy."
After Gu Baiyue finished speaking, he walked back to the Phantom Prophecy Instrument. Two ball-like rockers had floated on the chassis. Gu Baiyue put his hands on the two copper balls and could directly rotate the two copper balls. , at the same time, the metal ring also began to rumble on the tray.
As soon as the rumble from the top of the tower above their heads was heard again, the entire top of the tower bloomed outwards. The golden top above their heads was divided into eight petals and fully opened and closed. As Gu Baiyue manipulated the copper ball, the metal ring began to move along the center copper The axis rotates back and forth, and the totem pattern in the crystal ball begins to be refracted by the metal ring, and gradually appears above the top of the tower.
The last illusion that appeared before the destruction of the Sand Sea King City, together with the entire city, became a mirage and began to slowly appear in front of everyone.
