0292 Back to the roots

(Chapter 2)

"With so many experts with so many years of experience not being able to come up with a good solution, do you think you, a first-year archaeology student, can come up with a complete solution?" Yuan Jun wasted no time in throwing out another mockery. ,!

Tang Yan rolled his eyes and simply ignored him, but Ji Fanxi couldn't help it. If she was still blaming Tang Yan for eating flying vinegar before, then now this Yuan Jun is indeed a little unpopular, he has always been targeting Tang Yan, but Tang Yan has shown a very good temper compared to himself.

"Senior Brother Yuan, that's not what you said, no matter whether Tang Yan's idea has operational value or not, you have to wait for him to say it before you know whether it has reference value, like you, who arbitrarily make judgments without waiting for Tang Yan to say anything, this is not such a rigorous and scientific attitude of archaeology. What's more, there is a genius in any science, and when you entered the school, you seemed to be called a genius, right? But do you think you'll be able to make suggestions like Tang Yan's earlier when you're a freshman? ”

Yuan Jun took two steps back, he didn't expect Ji Fanxi to stand up and help Tang Yan speak, what made him depressed was Tang Yan who was standing aside and gave him a naughty look although he didn't refute him.

"Proud of your sister!" Yuan Jun scolded in his heart.

Professor Ji felt that he had to make a round, and now his most proud disciple and his daughter had a dispute, and in his heart, it was not that he didn't think about letting his most proud disciple be paired with his daughter, such a situation was obviously not what he was happy to see.

"Yuan Jun. Your junior sister is right, no matter whether Tang Yan's idea can be realized in the end or not, at least you should give him a chance to speak out. Professor Ji looked at Tang Yan and smiled slightly: "Tang Yan, don't mind, Yuan Jun has a more direct temperament, and he may not be very good at speaking." But he doesn't have any preconceptions against you. If you have any ideas, just say them and listen to them. ”

Tang Yan nodded and said, "This ancient tomb must have been hollowed out of the mountain's belly at first. There is a problem with the construction of a real mausoleum in that space, such a large piece of stone and a coffin and so on. How did it get in? It is impossible to enter the mausoleum from us. Well, there is either another passage to the mausoleum, or it is transported down from above the mausoleum. ”

The crowd had begun to nod their heads frequently, and they hadn't given much thought to it. In other words, they are just obsessed with how to excavate the mausoleum in its entirety, and do not think to pay attention to how the mausoleum was built.

In any case, Tang Yan had already given them a new idea, that is, since the mausoleum could be built. Then there should be a complete way to unearth it.

"Of course, it doesn't matter, the important building materials are transported down, and after the whole mausoleum is completed, how the water is brought in. And at that time. And why did the water not wash away the mausoleum, but now if we want to bring this mausoleum back to the light of day, we will encounter the current predicament! ”

When these words were spoken, everyone nodded again, which was actually discussed before, and it was precisely because of this. That's why Professor Ji believes that there must be a way to excavate the entire mausoleum completely. It is because of this insistence that Professor Ji will resist the pressure of the higher cultural relics department and never agree to destroy the structure of the mausoleum.

"Tang Yan, aren't you talking nonsense? We've all thought about it, but now it's about bringing the water out, not thinking about how they brought it in the first place. Ji Fanxi was also a little dissatisfied, Tang Yan's previous paragraph made her feel that she had a breakthrough in her thinking, but the latter paragraph seemed to return to the most basic problem.

"Teacher Fanxi, don't worry, listen to me." Tang Yan paused, "The structure of the mausoleum is very ingenious, and sometimes we really underestimate the scientific and technological level of the ancients, and we underestimate it too much. I remember Professor Ji said that even with the current level of science and technology, it is not easy to build an identical mausoleum, which needs to take into account too many stress points, almost every place in the entire mausoleum is a stress point, as long as one point is broken, the balance of the entire mausoleum will be broken, when the water level is reduced to a certain extent, triggering a large amount of water pouring, it will lead to the collapse of the entire mausoleum. So, on the other hand, when water is injected, does it always have the same problem? And why wasn't the mausoleum washed away at that time? ”

"Tang Yan, what did you think, tell me quickly!" Professor Ji also felt that Tang Yan's words were actually very important, but the most important point did not seem to have been completely clarified, so that the problems encountered now could not be solved.

Squatting down, Tang Yan picked up a stone and drew two circles on the ground, concentric.

"The little circle inside is a real mausoleum. The big circle on the outside is the fish tank. "Regarding the fish tank, Tang Yan is not only mentioning it for the first time, although it is very unprofessional, but everyone can understand it.

"Between the two circles is the water. Now, there is a balance between these two circles, and in the absence of water, there must be a balance between these two circles. To use the simplest mathematical analogy, the state without water is 0, and the state full of water is 1. Regardless of 0 or 1, the two circles are balanced. However, we seem to have been deceived by this extreme state of 0 and 1 all along, and it is not only these two states that can maintain the balance between the two circles. ”

Everyone was silent, and everyone could hear that Tang Yan might have really found the final solution. They are experts with enough experience that if they don't even hear this, they can't be well-known in the archaeological world.

"I happened to enter the fish tank of this mausoleum, and when I saw the control system at that crystal, I played with that thing cheaply, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to escape, and I couldn't find the underground river in the belly of the mountain. I released some of the water, so I know with certainty that in that tank, it's not just the two absolute states of 1 and 0 that can maintain balance, because now it's actually not 1, it's 0.99. The senior brother reminded me just now, and he said that around the crystal was the most stressed point in the whole mausoleum - not the original words, but the meaning was more or less so. Regardless of whether he is correct or not, there may be other points that can also reach the level of force at this point, and in fact I think that the whole mausoleum is above all the ranges of the crystal, and can withstand a large enough impact, and only under the crystal is the part that needs to maintain the balance of internal and external pressures. Of course, this has yet to be proven, and you need to calculate in a more professional way whether this is the case......"

Speaking of this, in fact, everyone basically understands what Tang Yan means, but at this point, everyone will wait for Tang Yan to finish speaking, otherwise there will be suspicion of stealing credit.

"I've been into the underground river, I know the approximate height of the underground river, I didn't think about it at the time, but now that I think about it, it seems that the height of the surface of the underground river should be parallel to the lower edge of the crystal." Tang Yan drew a straight line next to the two circles, representing the underground river.

"Once the water level of the river is higher than the water level in the mausoleum, the outer fish tank will be subjected to an instantaneous increase of several times or even dozens of times, which is the real cause of the collapse of the mausoleum, but you have always thought that the cause of the collapse of the mausoleum is inside. Just ask, the more water, the greater the mass, and the greater the pressure, so that the mausoleum cannot collapse, why does the water level collapse when it is lowered? The only explanation is that your previous judgment was wrong. It is true that the mausoleum can easily collapse after the water level has dropped to a certain extent, but it is by no means what you first thought. ”

Professor Ji smiled, a kind of happy smile that he was relieved and finally found the final solution.

"Good! This is a bold guess, but it is also the most plausible! Our previous train of thought may have been really wrong, and we made the mistake of empiricism. The changes are taken into account, but the sources and directions of the changes are ignored. ”

Professor Ji stood up first and pointed to a few students who were still squatting beside him: "You guys, go and re-survey now, and then synthesize the data to make a new calculation!" Knock all the previous conclusions overturned, and it's a new survey! ”

The students who were named immediately stood up with a relieved smile on their faces, and they all felt at this moment that this time, I am afraid that they had really found a final solution.

With full enthusiasm, the students rushed to the construction truck together, ready to go down with the survey tools to carry out a new survey.

Ji Fanxi shouted: "Dad, you see what time it is now, the sky is about to get dark, how can you survey this!" Even if you find a way, you don't have to rush for a while, wait for tomorrow to re-survey and recalculate! ”

Professor Ji was reminded by Ji Fanxi, and only then did he notice that the sky had darkened, and it was estimated that it would be completely dark in another twenty minutes, which was indeed not a suitable time to continue doing things.

"Come back, I'm too anxious, come back tomorrow!" Professor Ji shouted loudly and called back his students.

After rearranging, Professor Ji said that he wanted to talk to Tang Yan again, and got on Tang Yan's QQ.

"Fanxi, you are a good student, your thinking is very open-minded, haha......" Professor Ji looked very happy.

But Tang Yan asked coldly: "Professor Ji, when you first came, did you see any tools used to rob the tomb in the two passages outside the mausoleum?" ”
