Chapter 1120
The nails on this huge wooden coffin are very hidden, and nothing can be seen from the outside.
Especially after years of baptism, this huge dragon-patterned tomb coffin is still covered with a thick layer of dust. If you don't check it carefully, you may not be able to find the exact location of each nail.
"Bah! These old guys are really cruel! The iron door of this tomb was sealed directly from the outside when I entered it before. It took me seven or eight hours to get to the main door before I opened the big iron door..." Wang Yuquan's sweat rolled down his body. He has been here for more than 20 hours. If he hadn't made sufficient preparations when he came, he might not even be able to open the big iron door of the main tomb before!
"Fortunately, this place is not the joint burial tomb of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. If it was the famous joint burial tomb Qianling, I really wouldn't dare to take this job!" Wang Yuquan picked up the clothes on the ground and wiped the sweat off his face, licking his upper lip dangerously.
The Qianling Mausoleum, the joint tomb of Emperor Gaozong of Tang and his empress, is the most famous iron-sealed mausoleum!
Not only are the doors of the entire tomb sealed with thick stone slabs, but other skilled craftsmen have also poured molten iron into the stone slabs to consolidate them!
It is not easy for iron products to oxidize and rust in a situation like that buried underground with no ventilation or air permeability. Especially after the other party poured molten iron, the entire tomb seemed like a complete closed stone box. Without using explosives and large cutting machines, it would be a fantasy to want to chisel open the tomb!
However, such a big noise would definitely be discovered by others, and it would not be easy for them to secretly steal the burial objects in the tomb!
"Four... Forty-two... nails!" Wang Yuquan pursed his lips and pulled out a nail. He looked at the nail in his hand, frowning and gritting his teeth. "Damn it! The things used for the emperor are different! Even the nails used to nail the coffin board are special. Each nail is as thick as a thumb and is 81 cm long. The height of this dragon-patterned tomb coffin is only about 1.6 meters, and the length of a nail is half of this coffin!"
When he was doing archaeology before, he had seen coffins in the homes of ordinary princes and nobles.
Under normal circumstances, the nails used to nail coffins are only about ten centimeters, and twenty or thirty centimeters is the maximum. However, I didn't expect that the special iron nails for this dragon-patterned tomb coffin could be more than 80 centimeters!
"I should have brought a saw earlier. It will be much faster than pulling out all the nails directly! I have been pulling out for more than nine hours, and I have only pulled out more than 40 nails. The remaining 30 or so will take at least another eight or nine hours... and my physical strength is depleted too quickly now, so the speed of pulling nails is getting slower and slower. Maybe it will take me even longer to get the things in the coffin..." Wang Yuquan secretly calculated in his heart, glancing at the backpack beside him, "Eight or nine hours is not long, but also not short. The food and water in my hand can only last for one more meal. I am afraid I will have to starve for the last meal... But fortunately, it doesn't matter if it's not long. After I get out, I will find a chance to pay tribute to my stomach!"
