Chapter 1153: The Missing Tourist

The passage continues to extend upwards, which is the legendary large corridor.

From an architectural point of view, the structure of the Grand Corridor is incredibly intricate.

Most of the huge pyramids are solid inside, and the reserved space is very small. How to make the confined space withstand the 10,000 tons of rock above the head without collapsing is a big problem.

The ancient Egyptians solved this problem brilliantly. On the stone bases on both sides of the ramp, seven layers of stones were stacked upwards. Each layer of stones was picked out by seven centimeters from the lower layer. , the remaining width is only more than one meter, so that the cross-section of the passage forms a trapezoidal structure with a wide bottom and a narrow top. The top of the corridor is covered with huge stone slabs, and slots are cut at the joints between the walls and the slabs, so that the slabs can be inserted obliquely into the slots and fixed. The complete load-bearing surfaces formed between the stone slabs are independent of each other, and the looseness of a certain stone slab will not affect the load-bearing of other stone slabs.

Looking at these astonishing craftsmanship, Zhang Zian seemed to see the ancient Egyptians solemnly carrying the pharaoh's sarcophagus, walking up the corridor step by step, and placing the sarcophagus in the king's tomb.

The era of Khufu 4,500 years ago was not as electric as it is now. The slaves held torches to disperse the darkness. Sweat ran down their young and smooth cheeks. The oxygen in the air was further reduced, and they panted heavily but didn't make a sound, for fear of disturbing the Pharaoh's rest.

Pious priests walked around the sarcophagus, chanting obscure incantations, and their pupils reflected the light of torches, as if they were burning with eternal flames.

The pharaoh's mummy with power over the world is covered with a heavy golden mask, sleeping quietly in the sarcophagus, waiting to wake up again one day, leading the Egyptian army to sweep the world...

Of course, this is just his imagination, because there is only one broken sarcophagus in the king's chamber of the Great Pyramid, no pharaoh's remains were found, no queen's remains were found, no mummies existed in the Great Pyramid, and no sacrificial objects were found Even judging from some indications, the Great Pyramid seems to be unfinished and is a half-finished product. This fact has triggered countless speculations by future generations.

Walking from the bottom to the top of this large corridor, it seems to be walking side by side with the ancients 4,500 years ago. Even Richard, who has always been noisy, was infected by the solemn atmosphere. He was silent and felt the situation quietly. everything.

At the end of the grand corridor is connected to the king's tomb, and the entrance is located in the northeast corner.

As soon as he stepped into the tomb, Zhang Zian was stunned.

Not because he saw anything, but because he didn't see anything, what should have been seen didn't exist.

"Quack! What's the matter? What are you doing standing there? Go to the sarcophagus and see if there is a zombie lying inside." Richard urged.

"Strange." Zhang Zian murmured, "Where are people?"

Counting from the time he bought the tickets, he counted about 60 people who entered the pyramid one after another, but only 50 came out. He thought he would meet tourists who were stranded inside, and even thought about the reasons for their stay. There are many conjectures, but there is no one here.

There is only one entrance to the king's tomb, and there is absolutely no second one. You can only get out as you come in.

There is a vent on the north and south walls of the tomb. I don’t know why the tomb needs ventilation, but the vent with a square cross section can only accommodate the heads of ordinary people. Horror.

He clenched his fists, sweating slightly in his palms, and walked towards the only ancient object in the tomb—the sarcophagus.

When he saw the inside of the sarcophagus, he breathed a sigh of relief, because as he heard, there was nothing inside the sarcophagus, and no one sat up suddenly to scare him.

A corner of the sarcophagus is missing, and the lid of the coffin was lost before it was discovered in modern times. There is nothing worth admiring. At first glance, it looks somewhat similar to the stone troughs used to feed mules and horses in rural China.

Apart from lighting and monitoring equipment, there is nothing else in the King's Chamber.

Zhang Zian's fingers groped for the wall made of granite boulders,

I walked around the sarcophagus, thinking while walking, but still couldn't let go of the number of tourists.

He really hoped that a Fusang elementary school student wearing glasses would jump out at this time, pointing out that this was a bizarre case of disappearance in a secret room, and emphasizing that there is only one truth.

"Zian, what's the matter?" Lao Cha saw his doubts and asked in a low voice.

He turned his back to the monitoring equipment and said his question again.

"Did you count wrong?" Fina asked.

"Never, even if one or two numbers are missed or wrong, it won't be so wrong." He replied affirmatively.

He looked sideways at Richard.

"Gah... why?"

Richard trembled all over, feeling ominous, "Could it be that you are going to arrange for me again?"

Zhang Zian walked to the side of the vent and looked inside, but the light couldn't reach far, and he could only see a short section.

He stroked his chin and said, "Why don't you fly in and take a look?"

"My uncle won't go in! You won't even go in if you're killed! It's so dark it's scary to look at! No, it scares birds!" Richard protested fiercely, flapping his wings.

Old Cha took the initiative to ask Ying, "I'd better go in and have a look."

Cats with soft and boneless bodies are indeed the best for drilling in and exploring. Even if other mammals can drill in, it may be difficult to turn around and return.

Zhang Zian was just joking, to scare Richard on purpose. It is impossible for an adult to get into the vent unless he knows the legendary bone shrinking skill.

"Forget it, let's go, this trip seems to have returned without success."

Since I can't figure it out, I have no choice but to go back the same way.

The elves were also a little reconciled, how could a dozen or so living beings simply disappear?

Walking back along the large corridor, Zhang Zian's calf was suddenly pulled when he came to the beginning of the large corridor. He looked down and saw that it was Old Tea.

Old Cha didn't say a word, and quietly pointed to the side.

Fina and Femas also seemed to have noticed some kind of abnormality, and they were listening in that direction with their ears up.

Zhang Zian was wondering when suddenly a person appeared from the side.

";e"

When he took a closer look, it was an employee of the Pyramid Scenic Area in work clothes, staring at him with a philistine face, gesturing to him, and pointing behind him.

When passing by here just now, Zhang Zian saw this employee. At that time, he stood in the middle of a side passage solemnly, asking tourists to stop, because this side passage leads to the unopened area of ​​the pyramid.

"only 10 doodvae!"

Fearing that Zhang Zian would not understand, the employees pointed to the dark side passage, and their faces of trying to sell were no different from those of the small merchants outside the pyramid.
