Chapter 177: The River of Mercury
How did Ye Chen get in there, the middle-aged man didn't know, now he was looking for the answer to this question, but unfortunately, he didn't make much progress in this matter.
At the moment, he began to think about another question that bothered him, after Ye Chen entered, how to prevent those mercury poisons, normal people would hit the street every minute when they went in.
But Ye Chen has no problem at all, he is jumping and jumping, and he can pretend to be forced if he has nothing to do.
Now, the only thing he can think of is to look for clues from his mask.
That is, to find the third apostle of the peach treasure merchant.
……
At this time, Ye Chen was standing in this huge underground palace, he stood there for five minutes, and the shock brought to him by these terracotta warriors and horses in front of him was really difficult for him to calm down.
The miracle that was born here cannot be described in such a word.
Then, Ye Chen walked towards those terracotta warriors and horses, and began to walk step by step in their queue, in front of these tall terracotta warriors and horses, Ye Chen's figure suddenly seemed a little small.
In front of the computer, in front of the TV, and even in front of the high-definition large screen, many people are staring at the live broadcast with wide eyes at this time.
The lifelike terracotta warriors and horses were presented in front of everyone one by one, and the works of the ancestors two thousand years ago began to bloom in front of the world with their glory.
The scenes of the live broadcast also began to be carefully excerpted and edited by some special people.
Around this area, which is at least two football fields the size of the terracotta warriors, Ye Chen walked a long circle, and he can be regarded as having seen enough.
These secrets in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor seem to be slowly being revealed by him.
"I envy Brother Chen, he was able to enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to play."
"You are more than a scumbag, just a scumbag like you, it is estimated that you are already on the street at the door, let alone entering."
"It's hard to tear people down!"
Bypassing these terracotta warriors, Ye Chen walked behind them, the area of the second underground layer is really amazing, Ye Chen walked around in this main room and still has a large piece of it that has not been walked.
There are also a lot of arched passages around, and I don't know where they lead, and Ye Chen can't figure it out when he looks at it now.
According to the detection of modern scientists, in this underground palace, a total is roughly divided into three, each layer corresponds to the layer of groundwater, "Historical Records" said that the burial position of Qin Shi Huang is through three springs, that is to say, through three layers of groundwater.
Judging from what Ye Chen sees now, it seems to be very consistent with this, the overall height of the first layer is about ten meters, and the second layer is about the same height now.
In this case, there should be a third underground floor, and perhaps Qin Shi Huang's coffin is lying quietly in the coffin of the third underground floor.
Come to think of it, that's a big possibility.
There are a lot of arched passages around, Ye Chen probably counted, the number of arched passages that are five or six meters high in the second layer of this underground palace is full of eight, where they lead to and what kind of role they play, Ye Chen really doesn't know.
But now, it seemed that the only way he could continue to explore was these arched passages, through which he could see if it was the entrance to the third level ahead.
When Ye Chen approached the sides of the terracotta warriors and horses phalanx, and approached those arched passages, Ye Chen was shocked to find that he had not seen the situation clearly because of the light from a distance before.
Now after really seeing it, Ye Chen found that around this terracotta warrior phalanx, it was like there was a moat, surrounding the surroundings, and the moat was filled with thick liquid, reflecting a strange light under the miner's lamp.
Ye Chen continued to observe the moat "river water" very seriously, without thinking much about it, Ye Chen already had his own answer in his mind, and these liquids were most likely the liquid mercury mentioned by modern archaeologists.
This substance, commonly known as mercury, has a great effect on embalming and was often used in ancient times for embalming corpses in tombs.
Geologists have sampled the soil near the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and found that the area above the underground palace has an unusually high mercury content, which is also a direct proof of the existence of mercury in the underground palace, and according to the analysis of the soil mercury content, the mercury content in the underground palace can be at least hundreds of tons.
Looking at these data now, it can be found from Ye Chen's live broadcast that a hundred tons of mercury is really not an exaggeration at all, and now the mercury here is used as a moat.
Needless to say, you can also see how crazy the mercury content in this dungeon is.
Ye Chen's live broadcast almost directly coincides with the speculation of modern archaeology.
Many scholars are a little excited about such a discovery, it seems that the original expectation was indeed correct, and Ye Chen's live broadcast screen also directly confirmed such a point.
"Sure enough, there really is mercury!"
"All this mercury has become a river."
"Qin Shi Huang, that guy is really."
The audience will look at this, and many people are directly amazed, the appearance of mercury like this moat is really surprising, and it is really not too much to use mercury as a hundred rivers in historical records.
With so much mercury, he did move all of it here.
With such a huge project, it is simply too difficult to imagine the hardships of construction at that time.
Ye Chen was standing on the edge of this moat, wearing his daze mask, his hand supporting his chin, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, many viewers noticed that there was something unusual in the live broadcast screen, and it flowed out of those arched passages.
"Damn, what's that?"
"Could it be Qin Shi Huang?"
"This ......"
Ye Chen hasn't come back to his senses yet, I don't know why, since he entered the second layer of this underground palace, he found that he occasionally had a little trance, Ye Chen guessed, maybe it was related to the excessive content of these mercury gases he inhaled, which would lead to this.
The mercury gas content in the second layer of this dungeon is definitely very high.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen's spirit began to return.
Soon, when his eyes also saw the object floating from the passage, he was also stunned by what he saw.
Could it really be that Qin Shi Huang was patrolling his underground palace?
Ye Chen's first thought was almost the same as that of many viewers, and the audience in the live broadcast room could clearly see that what floated from that passage was a coffin.
Regarding the records of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, it is said that the design of this underground palace, even after Qin Shi Huang's death, he could inspect his palace on his posthumous territory, and now this mercury is poured into a moat, which may be the way that the original designers considered.
Only now, the appearance of this coffin is so abnormal. (To be continued.) )
