Chapter 479: A Moving Dry Corpse

Who would have imagined that after death, people would become dried corpses and continue to do what they did during their lifetime?

Even if people with rich imagination go to which ancient tomb, they will only think of dry corpses lying in coffins, or zombies and the like, and they will basically not move, unless there is an external force that may blow up the corpse.

But now, the scene of the inner hall of the pyramid is subverting all human imagination.

In the hall at the bottom of the pyramid was a very large machine, which at first glance looked rudimentary, a huge ball woven with a metal net.

Underneath the ball, there are brackets, pulley sets and cable chains that drive the ball to rotate in a regular manner.

But next to the machine, there was a disc, somewhat similar to a grinding disc, with four rods at both ends, driven by some delicate gear set underneath.

At the four poles, there was a row of dried corpses, and those dry corpses were pushing the poles, their movements were very stiff, and they kept moving along a circular trajectory.

Even the master was accustomed to things like dried corpses, and he was taken aback when he saw those active dried corpses for the first time.

But when he took a closer look at the dried corpses with a flashlight and looked at them, he quickly understood.

"Don't be nervous, in fact, those dried corpses have been made into mechanical golems, you can see the broken skull in their eye frames, there are obviously metal gears rotating in them!"

Xu Ran followed the eyes of the dried corpse, and indeed found that there was a metal substance in it, and at the same time, the fine pinions kept turning with their movements.

But when he thought that these dried corpse puppets had been moving in such a way and had lasted for eight hundred years, Xu Ran was still extremely surprised.

According to common sense, if a machine is doing work, it must be driven by energy.

But looking at those dry corpse puppets now, they don't have any external driving force on them, they just rely on their own regular activity rules, but it can't last for 800 years.

"This, this is simply not scientific common sense!"

Horthfar was shocked to learn that the corpses had been made into mechanical golems, and she couldn't understand why this was the case, why the corpse golems could keep pushing the disc like this forever.

Luo Hongtao wiped his glasses and put them back on, looked at the moving corpse puppets, and said: " Looking at the characteristics of these dried corpses, their bones seem to have been assimilated by metal, and the skin and flesh have become a hard membrane covering the outside, indicating that when they were made, the methods were extremely mysterious and cruel, and now after eight hundred years, these dried corpse puppets can still move regularly, looking at the gears in their bodies, it may be the influence of some kind of force field in the entire environment, echoing something in their bodies, otherwise it can't be explained as a strange phenomenon!"

Xu Ran felt that what Professor Luo said was more reliable, if these puppets themselves did not have the driving energy, then they must be guided by some external force field.

"Look at the stomachs of these dried corpses!"

The stomachs of the dried corpses found by the black girl were all sagging, and they looked very curious.

Xu Ran looked into the stomach of the dried corpse, and saw that the angle of its protrusion drooping was very clever, giving people the feeling that gravity attracted them to want to fall, but their arms supported the push rod of the disc but could not fall, thus pushing the disc to keep running.

This also means that there is something in the stomach of the dried corpse golem that can react with some kind of force field, creating a kinetic energy that will cause them to move like this forever.

However, thinking about the mechanical traps they experienced before, as well as the giant tooth trap, this shows that in ancient times, the mechanical casting technology of this Shaba tribe has reached an incredible level, so it is not difficult to understand now that you see those dry corpse puppets that are always in motion.

Everyone can only marvel at the level of creation of the ancients beyond imagination.

I just don't know what kind of role the machine is playing, because the machine is connected to the whole pyramid building, giving people the feeling that every part cannot be separated, and once it is separated, it will completely lose its role.

Now that I'm here, I'm focused on exploring.

Master Lian focuses on observing the utensils that are placed in a hall, while Professor Luo Hongtao focuses on information such as written words and patterns, and then takes photographs for future research.

Phosfar and the black chick watched the ring together, as if to know how effective the ball was in motion, and what would happen if the dried corpse puppets stopped while they were spinning, but they did not dare to touch the machines for fear of something unexpected.

As for Xu Ran, what he was concerned about was neither the utensils placed there nor the written messages.

His focus was on walking near the orb, and he could feel a strong magnetic attraction under his feet, perhaps it was that attraction that guided the dry corpse golems to keep pushing the putter in that way.

In addition, there seemed to be something in the stomachs of those dried corpses that would attract Xu Ran's attention, but he didn't dare to open the stomachs of the dried corpses without authorization to check it.

However, when he walked to the corner of the wall, Xu Ran found a hidden staircase upward, and after trying to step on the staircase without any danger, he went up to the second floor.

After arriving on the second floor, Xu Ran found that the space here was relatively small.

However, there are also corpse puppets on the second floor, and there is also a working machine, which is smaller than the one on the first floor.

Those dried corpse puppets are different from the first layer, which is relatively smaller, and at the same time, the appearance of those dried corpse puppets is more vivid, and it looks more delicate than the first layer.

If there are sixteen dried corpses pushing the push rod to keep the push in motion on the first floor, then there are only eight dried corpse golems on the second floor, and the disc they push is made entirely of silver, and the moving sphere on top is also made of silver.

Similarly, some of the utensils placed near the second floor are more elaborate than the first floor, and some of the tools are also made of silver, which looks even more exquisite.

Xu Ran didn't move anything, just looked at it casually, and then found the stairs on the third floor.

After going up to the third layer, there was a dim yellow luster inside, a little dazzling, and after getting used to it, Xu Ran found that the third layer was different from the second layer.

Not to mention the size of the three-story machine, the most surprising thing was that the dried corpse puppets of the putter turned out to be four teenagers and children, they were more lifelike than the ones below, as if they were alive, which startled Xu Ran.
