Chapter 944: How to Cover It!
Hitting the bottom of the log with a battering ram will push the log inward and sideways, and the top will naturally go up.
Zhang Nan is not good at mathematics, but he knows that after an eighty or ninety kilogram crashing log swings up, the instant force of hitting it plus the log that is tough enough can definitely lift up a twenty or thirty-ton slate!
This comes from a legend he once heard about the tomb robbery of Tufuzi in China: I don't know which dynasty the tomb robber used this method to hold up a broken dragon stone weighing tens of thousands of catties.
I didn't care about the details that the broken dragon stone would hit the ground and there was no space to operate, anyway, the ancient Chinese people knew a long time ago: this simple method can lift heavy objects that are far from being lifted by manpower.
As for the use of wooden rollers, Zhang Nan came up with it himself, inspired by the toys of the children of the workers in the Materials Bureau: bearing pulleys.
It is a big toy that uses old car bearings as wheels, wooden planks as chassis, and two legs as an engine after sitting on the buttocks, which ordinary family children can't get!
Bearings, rare objects.
If a person just sits on a wooden plank, it will be difficult to move forward, even if someone pulls it on the body, it is super laborious!
As soon as the bearings are attached, it is easy because the friction is reduced geometrically.
As for how much smaller...
Zhang Nan didn't know, but he didn't expect that Old Samorano could actually calculate an approximation: more than 20 tons of stone slabs are cushioned with wooden rollers, and the force of about five or six hundred kilograms can make it move.
With a few crowbars, this can be done at will.
Mark then shoved two wooden rollers into the gap, hammered in a third, and smashed into a wooden wedge that would have to be chiseled with a chisel.
The use of wooden wedges is to prevent the rollers from flying out when the stone slab is pressed down on one side, and also to prevent the supported log stakes from flying out and injuring people.
Then the wooden pillar began to be withdrawn, and now it was not necessary to use the battering ram, and the big hammer carefully smashed the bottom of the log into the flank, allowing it to slowly drain its strength.
Looking at the stone slab pressing on one side of the wooden wedge and the wooden roller, it was okay, because there was that big wooden wedge that withstood the maximum pressure, and the unilateral force of the downward pressing stone slab did not crush the three rollers.
If it is broken, then it will have to be done with Sanchez's method: if you want to maintain the "ancient Egyptian method" to solve the problem, you will have to do it with four battering rams, which is really a bit squeezed.
Again through the industrial scope, it is clear: the space above is significantly larger than the false tomb below, and it is also a little higher, and a seated statue of the pharaoh about two meters high is just a few meters in front of it.
The color of the statue turned black, which should be black granite.
There are reliefs on the walls around it, and there are war scenes near the top of the side, and the other three sides are far away, so wait for people to go up and take a closer look.
The battering ram method of smashing the stakes was repeated three more times, using all 20 wooden stick wheels and chiseling off four wooden wedges.
It's good, the roller didn't break.
A group of people are sweating all here, but they have seen Zhang Nan's ingenuity, and those who don't know can still be considered to be a civil engineering expert for him.
The battering ram was dismantled, and the wooden stick on it was used as a crowbar. There weren't many people, the four big guys worked together, and the huge stone slab on top obediently moved back.
This will Zhang Nan has already run to the location of the passage: this kind of archaeology is actually not much different from tomb robbery, just think about how those people opened the scene of the last door stone of Dingling.
It's all about the old methods handed down by the old tomb robbers, otherwise you won't be able to get in at all!
It's always dangerous to do so now, and the edge of each side of the boulder cover is only a little more than ten centimeters wider than the edge of the wall, if all the rollers on one side suddenly shatter......
Zhang Nan didn't dare to guarantee that it would not smash the edge of the stone wall on one side, and then smash the people below into big meat patties!
The four of them should exert themselves evenly, and they must be slow, so as not to be happy and sad!
After the thin pole is used, the thick log with the top stone slab is used, and after a few pries, the exposed space is already passable, so it stops.
Then he took out two bags of wooden wedges, planks, and sticks, and hammered them all into the gaps on three sides.
It's safe now!
Not to mention that the slate weighs only about 20 tons, even if it weighs five times more, it can't be smashed: unless there is a sudden earthquake!
His mind turned, there should have been no earthquakes here in Egypt over the years, and Zhang Nan entered the fake tomb.
The men had moved the table from the camp to be used as a stepping stone, put the lights on, and then carefully observed the situation with the mirror from Charlie's bag: this thing was now more useful than an industrial borescope.
Don't be impulsive, although I really want to be the first to climb up to see, but you have to be careful!
This is a pyramid, what if there is a mechanism!
The bow and arrow 4600 years ago is a joke, and even if there were, it would have been scrapped long ago, but if there were mechanisms such as reproduction and rolling stones, Zhang Nan would not feel particularly strange: in terms of structure and materials, this kind of mechanism may have worked for 5,000 years!
Oh, and there have been major earthquakes over the years, and the Rolling Stone Mechanism should be scrapped if it existed, but if there was a flap, it would definitely have a long life.
Seeing William Brin eager to try, Zhang Nan was simply generous: Dude, you go first!
It's not a burial chamber anyway.
After William climbed up, Qiu Bo and Li Panfeng also went up, and after making sure it was safe, Zhang Nan and Charlie climbed up to see the strangeness.
Mr. Professor, this will not be very excited, probably the previous battering ram top boulder made him almost excited, this will be looking at the relief about the war on one side.
Seeing Zhang Nan coming up, he said in a calm tone: "Mr. Allen, we will appear in the history books in the future, and this is the final resting place of Sniferoul..."
Pointing to a large string of hieroglyphs on the relief, he said, "This is his Horus king's name, 'Nebumaat,' which means 'Lord of Justice.'"
This passage speaks of his exploits in the war, 'the destruction of the territory of the Nissi, the Nubians, and the capture of 7,000 men and women, and 200,000 heads of cattle'. ”
Speaking of this, he was a little excited again, "This discovery will cause a sensation in the world!"
Pointing to the statue again, he said, "This is Pharaoh Sniferu." ”
Coldly, there was a sentence from the back: "Good looks." ”
It's Charlize Theron, Zhang Nan couldn't help laughing when he heard it, "It's good, Pharaoh, you always have to pay attention to your image." ”
Everyone understands this, except for a few crooked melons and cracked dates, the statues of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs are basically dignified, and they look like they are printed out of a mold, which can be understood.
Rulers, maintain their image all the time, and even if they die: Tutankhamun, who is physically deformed, can appear as a beautiful young man, and anything is possible.
A bunch of recently married offspring, all of them are good-looking ghosts!
But this is only the front room, and there are offering tables and remnants of offerings, so where is the main burial chamber?
After some investigation, I finally found a problem at the foot of the statue four or five meters away: there was a crack there, and after a closer search, I found a huge stone slab that had been removed, at least one and a half large quartz stone slabs were embedded in it, and the limestone bedrock was on the side.
This is probably the dragon stone of ancient Egypt, Sanchez knocked two wooden sticks and hammers: the thickness is more than five or six centimeters, and the weight is at least 45 to 50 tons!
After Mr. Professor understood the situation, he said, "My Emperor, how did they cover it!"
