Chapter 41: Fire and Burglar Prevention
What will be in the tomb?
As early as the ancient times of the earth, people began to set up mechanisms for ancient tombs, the most common are rolling stones and falling wood, crossbow machines, quicksand, etc., but this kind of device is not long, hundreds of thousands of years will basically lose its effect, can be preserved intact, extremely rare.
There's a lot more to be amazed than that.
For example, the construction of mercury pools in ancient tombs and the use of mercury volatile gases to poison tomb robbers is a classic example of making full use of various means to fight tomb robbery. Sima Qian's records in ancient times that the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum had a large amount of mercury, which was most likely used to prevent theft.
After human beings walked out of the earth, science and technology were highly developed, anti-tomb robbery methods emerged in an endless stream, all kinds of magical mechanisms were jaw-dropping, and even computer hosts were excavated in the ancient tombs, and it is said that the entire ancient tombs were managed under the operation of the system.
Liu Yifan is an expert in this area, and many archaeological teams will invite Liu Yifan as a consultant when they dig through the tomb and prepare to enter the tomb, so Liu Yifan has rich practical experience. Waiting for the tomb to be dug through, Liu Yifan also stood at the front of the team.
The equipment of the archaeological team is very advanced, the helmet on the head, the clothes on the body, the gloves on the hands, and the shoes on the feet are all high-tech materials of the military, which have very good bulletproof, fireproof and waterproof functions.
In addition, they all wear state-of-the-art communication headsets, as well as contact lenses that integrate photographic transmission functions, and everything they see will be filmed and can appear in the live broadcast if the TV station wants to.
Of course, it's okay to broadcast such shots occasionally, but if they are all like this, the audience will be dizzy when they look at it. Therefore, the archaeological team is equipped with two photography teams.
Unexpectedly, there was no organ at the door of the tomb, and it was pushed open, and what appeared in front of everyone was an empty tomb, and the area was not very large, only more than 50 square meters, which disappointed the audience in front of the TV.
They want to see zombies, not burial chambers with nothing.
"No, it's just one of the burial chambers." Standing in the tunnel, the photographer noticed a door in the back wall of the tomb, but it had been sealed with masonry, and it needed to be smashed open in order to continue searching for the main chamber of the tomb.
The photographer wanted to walk in and shoot up close, but was stopped by Liu Yifan: "I warned all of you, don't make random claims without my consent." Now, if you don't want to die, get out of here. Exit the graveyard in full. ”
"Professor Liu, what's wrong?" Gu Ruohua stepped forward and asked.
"Look at this. There was a spark from the camera battery and it had to be evacuated immediately, or it would be dangerous to wait for the air to escape. ”
Liu Yifan had an air detector in his hand, which showed that the combustible gas content inside the tomb was strictly exceeded, and if the photographer entered it, as long as there was a little fire inside the photographic equipment, it could ignite methane and cause a catastrophe.
Everyone was startled and retreated, but at this moment, an archaeologist almost fell because he was walking too quickly, and the tool hammer in his bag fell out and landed on the stone passage, exploding a flame.
"Boom...... Whew......"
The explosion was not violent, but the fire was very ferocious, coming out of the burial chamber, sweeping through the entire cemetery, and spraying out through the exit of the burial tunnel, but quickly disappeared.
Such a thrilling scene instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and they discussed it one after another, originally they were all bored, who wanted such a wonderful scene to appear immediately. For this archaeological live show, they are all full of expectations.
At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast has exceeded 100 million!
"It is even ruthless enough to use ambush fire to prevent theft!" Qin Xueli secretly admired that he had seen this kind of anti-theft technology on the earth.
The so-called "ambush fire", which can "fly flames", has the effect of burning tomb robbers, this kind of tomb is called "fire pit tomb", and in the earth period, it is a unique kind of tomb in the southern region. According to analysis, the cause of the fire in the "fire pit tomb" may be caused by the decomposition of the organic matter buried in the tomb and the formation of a combustible gas - biogas.
The mysterious Mawangdui Han Tomb is a famous fire-breathing tomb. According to reports, at that time, the army built a consensus on combat readiness in Mawangdui, when the project was carried out to an air-raid shelter, when the steel drill was inserted into the moment, an inexplicable gas was spraying outward from the soil, some people felt curious, tried to take a match to light, but did not expect a little to burn, and a blue flame appeared, and the firepower was very large, and finally excavated the Mawangdui Xin chasing tomb.
Of course, after human beings went out of the earth, science and technology are very developed, even if the resurrection anti-theft is adopted, biogas is no longer used, there are many flammable gases to choose from, and it can be stored for a long time. This is the case at this point.
"The archaeological team is fully equipped, replaced by tomb robbers......" Lao Zhuang sneered.
The fire dissipated, and all the members of the archaeological team stood up one after another, with the advanced equipment on their bodies, such a fire, and such a short time, as long as they were not inside the tomb, not in the center of the explosion, they would be fine.
"Stinky boy, you almost killed everyone, you know? Get everything in order, and if something like this happens again, you'll quit the archaeological team. Liu Yifan was furious and scolded the errant archaeological team members.
No one stepped forward to persuade him, and he was terrified when he thought about the scene just now. If there were more flammable gases in the tomb and more powerful explosions, I am afraid that their archaeological team would have been wiped out. This also made them realize Liu Yifan's role in the team.
The archaeological team entered the tomb along the way, and Liu Yifan knocked out the bricks and stones after determining that there was no mechanism in the door of the tomb, and there was another tomb inside, with an area of hundreds of square meters, except for the entrance wall, there were two doors on each of the other three walls.
If there is no coffin, it is certainly not the main burial chamber.
The archaeological team members looked at each other, there were six passages in front of them, that one was the passage of the main burial chamber, and where did the other passages lead? And that's exactly what they need to investigate.
"Teacher, how do you go?" Gu Ruohua contacted Liang Wenzhai outside.
Liang Wenzhai is not young anymore, and his health is not very good, so he did not enter the tomb with everyone, and others will not allow it. It is very likely that zombies will appear on this trip, and Liang Wenzhai, who has old arms and legs, will definitely become a burden.
"This ......" For a while, Liang Wenzhai didn't know how to answer.
Liang Wenzhai ran to ask Wang Daozong, the feng shui master must be proficient in tombs, and may be able to point out the direction to the dragon's lair. But after Wang Daozong saw it, he could only smile bitterly: "The passage was built at random, and it didn't follow the common sense of feng shui at all, and I couldn't help it." ”
"We are an archaeological team, not tomb robbers, and the entire tomb has to be investigated. So you can choose for yourself, and you have to go through all six passages anyway. In desperation, Liang Wenzhai could only hand over the choice to Gu Ruohua.
"Okay, then take the middle one. Professor Liu, please explore the way for everyone, if there is no mechanism, let's take the passage in the middle. Gu Ruohua looked at Liu Yifan, and now without Liu Yifan's guidance, no one dares to act rashly.
Liu Yifan moved forward step by step, and every step was very careful, but he stopped after taking a few steps, closed his eyes, concentrated, and made sure that he was not hallucinating, and there was indeed a sound of "sneering ......" in his ears.
"Special forces, flamethrower ready!"
When Liu Yifan shouted out, the archaeological team members also heard the sound of "snorting", and the sharp-eyed noticed that there were many small holes in the cracks in the walls of the tomb, and the sound came from the small holes, which became louder and louder, and became more and more obvious.
The archaeological team members remembered the materials collected by Gu Ruohua, and their faces changed suddenly, and many people were already reluctant. Fortunately, the military literacy of the special forces is very high, and they quickly took out flamethrowers and formed a circle to protect everyone in the circle.
"The show is about to begin, which beauty is your girlfriend, right?" Seeing the dense small holes in the cracks in the wall, Lao Zhuang laughed.
Others may not know about this kind of small hole, but he knows very well that he has encountered it more than once during the inverted fight. Moreover, the predecessors of the Captain Touching Gold have also met many times, only a very small number of Captain Touching the Gold can face it calmly, and the others have only one way, escape!
