Chapter 886: Secret Passage in the Underground Palace
Wang Zhu, who was full of doubts, left the moon.
Back in the dormitory, after thinking for a while, the sky was already bright.
Perhaps because they had to wait for the test results, the archaeological team did not go to the field to investigate today. Except for the head of the water team, Sima Lanxin and Ruonan, they were all chatting in the dormitory.
Most of the archaeologists were nestled in Shi Xiaobao's room talking about the mountains. When Wang Stupid passed by, everyone was playing a game of darts.
At the beginning, everyone still took turns playing darts, but later on, it became a gathering of people to gamble. Of course, the gathering of people to gamble was not a sudden thing, but Shi Xiaobao had planned for a long time, step by step, to lure the archaeologists into the bait.
When playing darts from the beginning turned into a gambling mode, Shi Xiaobao seemed to have the help of a god, and the darts hit a hundred shots. From the first two meters, it has moved to five meters away, and the venue has also been transferred to the outside yard, which keeps increasing. distance, but he still hits every shot, and as the difficulty increases, all the belongings in the pockets of a group of bitter archaeologists are transferred to Shi Xiaobao's pocket.
Faced with the bet that the darts are getting farther and farther away, a group of archaeological experts have gone crazy. They kept adding funds, and even asked colleagues to borrow them. The team that Stupid belonged to was borrowed all over by them, and everyone who was originally nestled in the room came out to watch the fun.
When Shi Xiaobao saw Wang Zhu appearing, he winked at Wang Zhu with a proud face...
...
Wang Zhu looked at it for a few minutes and then walked away. He had already seen that Shi Xiaobao was determined to squeeze out the little money in the pockets of a group of bitter archaeologists before he would give up.
Wang Chu didn't bother to care about these nonsense, so he went straight to Ruonan's office.
Ruonan's office is temporarily set up in a warehouse next to the dormitory. The equipment dragged last time is also placed in this warehouse. During this period, it has been adjusted and put into use by Ruonan.
The office is very large, and there are some advanced equipment and instruments everywhere. Among them, there are many very expensive equipment that have never been seen in China.
When Wang Chou arrived at the office, the three of them were discussing.
"Wang Clumsy, these are satellite detection photos of the Imperial Tomb, these are geological survey reports, these are nuclear magnetic resonance data, and these are clues found from historical records. The result!" Ruonan looked up at Wang Chu, and pointed to a large pile of materials on the desk.
"Found the entrance?" Wang Chu's spirit was lifted.
"No!" Ruonan shook his head.
"Ah..." Wang Zhu suddenly looked disappointed.
"It's not as simple as it is big. The tomb is about the size of a football field. The underground palace is the place where the coffin and funerary objects are placed. It is the core of the Qinhuangling Mausoleum. There have always been different opinions on the location of the Qin Mausoleum's underground palace. The historical material "Han Jiuyi" has An introduction about the depth of the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum: In 210 BC, Prime Minister Li Si reported to Qin Shihuang that he had brought 720,000 people to build the Lishan Mausoleum. It had been dug as if it had reached the bottom of the ground. At that time, Qin Shihuang ordered to "go sideways" Three hundred feet or even'.'Three hundred feet on the side' makes the location of the Qinling's underground palace even more confusing. It is said that the Qinling's underground palace is in the mountains, and there is an underground passage between Lishan and Qinling. Every time it is cloudy When it rains, there are "Yin Soldiers" in the underground passage, and people are cheering and horses shouting, which is very lively. It is reported that archaeologists have done a lot of investigations according to this legend, but they have not been able to find this legendary underground passage. It's a legend. Many legends are unsubstantiated, but there may be some secrets in that 'three hundred feet away'..." Captain Shui glanced at Wang Chu.
"Ruonan used remote sensing and geophysical prospecting methods to carry out detailed detection respectively. In fact, the underground palace is under the sealed mound. The large-scale underground palace is located below the top of the sealed mound and its surroundings. It is 35 meters deep from the ground level, 170 meters long from east to west, and 145 meters wide from north to south. , the main body and the tomb are rectangular in shape. It has now been confirmed that the tomb is located in the center of the underground palace. It is 15 meters high and the size is equivalent to a standard football field..." Sima Lanxin said.
"There is only one passage!" Captain Shui pulled out a blueprint and said, "According to the satellite survey and my memory analysis, there is a secret passage more than 50 kilometers away from the imperial tomb, which directly enters the interior of the imperial tomb!"
"Why?" Wang Zhu was shocked. He didn't expect that there was a direct passage to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, let alone that it was as long as fifty kilometers.
"This secret passage has been damaged a lot now. It is difficult to find any clues from the survey pictures. However, there are still some faint patterns on it that can be found. You see, this is a satellite picture. The dark place is intermittent. The direction of the dark passage also coincides with the tunnel that suddenly appeared decades ago." Leader Shui pointed to the vaguely dark place on the data map.
"But...but... why is there such a secret passage?" Wang Zhu was puzzled.
"It is impossible to verify this. At that time, there was a tomb repair supervisor who was a distant relative of Li Si. It is said that he was sent to the tomb supervisor because he violated the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty. His job at that time was very dangerous. According to the rules, he should be buried with him. One of the personnel, maybe it is a back road he left for himself. Of course, it should be impossible from the evidence point of view. There may be other secrets hidden in this secret passage. Of course, this is not something we can find out. That's right, our goal now is to find this secret passage. According to the survey data, most of this secret passage may be damaged, and we can only approach the underground palace by digging along the damaged secret passage bit by bit..."
"Dig fifty kilometers." Wang Zhu couldn't help gasping.
"You're crazy, we're just probing, not really digging." Sima Lanxin said angrily.
"That's that." Wang Zhu laughed.
"Hehe, even if you are asked to dig, you won't be able to dig out the underground palace." Captain Shui said with a smile.
"why?"
"In the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the most powerful thing is not the bow and crossbow mechanism, but mercury and oxygen-free space!"
"I know mercury, it is poisonous, what is an oxygen-free space?" Wang stupid was taken aback.
"The purpose of using mercury as rivers and seas in the imperial mausoleum is not only to create a magnificent and luxurious landscape, but also to keep the corpses and burial objects in the underground palace for a long time. In addition, it is a highly poisonous substance, which can poison tomb robbers You also know this, as for the anaerobic space refers to the "eternal lamp" to make anaerobic underground palace candles, which means burning candles in the underground palace for a long time. This approach is actually a kind of anti-corrosion and anti-theft measures. Candles need a lot of oxygen to burn. After the local palace is closed, the inside and outside are isolated, and the air is gradually exhausted by the candles, forming a relatively stable anaerobic space. In addition to ensuring that the corpses and funerary objects are not oxidized, once a tomb robber enters rashly, The end result is suffocation!"
"Oh..." Wang Zhu didn't take it seriously, after all, he was a cultivator in the out-of-body stage, so it didn't matter if he had air or not.
"Actually, it's not impossible to go in." Ruonan said with his head tilted.
"How do you say that?" Wang Zhu looked at Ruonan who spoke with interest.
"This problem is a bit difficult, but we can still overcome it. We only need to carry sufficient oxygen cylinders and wear anti-biochemical clothing. The anaerobic space is not a threat at all. Of course, the problems I mentioned are still There is an insurmountable difficulty. The scope and scale of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is beyond imagination. We cannot calculate how much oxygen and food we need. There are dozens of kilometers from the dark passage to the core of the tomb. If there is a turning point or damage The secret tunnel in the tomb needs to be repaired, so the oxygen and food we need cannot be calculated. In addition, none of us knows what we will encounter in the tomb, so in fact, the oxygen and food we need are unknown. ..." A trace of regret appeared on Ruonan's face.
"Hey, Ruonan really wants to go in and have a look." Wang Zhu said with a wicked smile.
"Talk about me, who doesn't want to go in and have a look!" Ruonan glanced at Captain Shui.
"Hehe, that being said, we can only say that our mission this time is to assess the risks of excavation, and we did not really enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Don't put the cart before the horse." Captain Shui laughed.
"Now that we found that secret passage, let's sneak in and have a look, let's see and see..." Sima Lanxin said with a grin.
"Okay, okay, don't be too whimsical here, with our equipment, it is impossible to enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, everyone should give up this idea... Eh, it's noon, let's go, let's eat."
Captain Shui got up, stretched his body, and walked out of the warehouse.
"what……"
As soon as Captain Shui walked to the door, an archaeologist who almost ran in ran into his arms. Behind him, there were also two tall bodyguards. All three of them had expressions of exasperation on their faces. expression.
"What's the matter with you?" Captain Shui asked.
"Captain Shui, borrow some money, hurry up..."
"What's the matter?" Seeing the anxious expression on his subordinate's face, Captain Shui naturally wanted to ask clearly.
"Our group lost more than two million yuan." The archaeologist said with a mournful face.
"Ah...how did you lose?" Tuan Shui turned pale with shock. The salary of an archaeological expert is not much, and occasionally he can borrow some private work for appraisal, and the income is not bad, but if he loses more than two million yuan at once, this is a big sum for the leader of the water group.
"We..." The archaeologist seemed to wake up suddenly, and he hesitated and couldn't speak.
"Hahaha... Captain Shui, come on, it's better to have fun alone than to have fun together, let's play together." Under the big tree in the yard, Shi Xiaobao laughed at Captain Shui.
Seeing Sima Lanxin, Ruonan, the leader of the water regiment, come out, Xu Xianxian and the Chinese werewolf who were watching had smiles on their faces. They knew that another fat sheep was coming to their door.
"What are you playing?"
Captain Shui walked under the big tree with a suspicious expression on his face. On the tree in between, hung a round target with a few throwing knives sticking out of the target.
"Captain Shui, 50,000 injections, if you hit it, you give me 50,000, if you miss it, I'll give you 500,000." Shi Xiaobao said triumphantly.
"How far is it?" Captain Shui glanced at the small target on the tree.
"Twenty meters."
"Shot in the heart?"
"Hey, Captain Shui, you hit the red heart twenty meters away, aren't you embarrassing me?" Shi Xiaobao looked at Captain Shui with a look of astonishment.
Seeing Shi Xiaobao's acting skills comparable to a film king, Wang Zhu sighed in his heart. It seems that Captain Shui can't escape Shi Xiaobao's clutches. This guy is determined to drain the pockets of all archaeologists today. Captain Shui didn't let go...
