Chapter 0467: The Sleeping Workshop

The air in the cave is not turbid, under the light, the passage is cut very smoothly, more than three meters high, three or four meters wide, even the ground is very smooth, and there is no dust.

Obviously the air is not well circulated, but strangely it is not stuffy.

Xue Lang and Liu Chengcheng both wore breathing masks, but they didn't use them, and as they walked, they carefully observed the passage to avoid any mechanisms or anything like that.

After walking more than ten meters, the front suddenly turned.

When I got closer, I realized that the passage had turned a corner and turned back downward.

Where do you lead?

The two of them were suspicious and walked directly down the steps.

After about twenty or thirty meters of straight steps, the passage was smooth and the steps disappeared.

This, except for the sound of Xue Lang moving the spool, the passage was quiet, but under the light of the two of them, it was still quite clear.

At this time, the two of them judged the general direction, that is, they turned back to the opposite direction of the entrance to the cave. Depending on the height of the steps, they should be at least five meters away from the ground.

In other words, it is possible that the secret room is under the mountain at the top of the purple qi.

Liu Yucheng held the compass and carefully turned around the base of the steps, and then walked forward cautiously.

Of course, Xue Lang would not say that he did not perceive the danger, coming here, everything was so magical, of course he had to focus on Liu Defeat City. But his spirit did not dare to relax at all, and once there was danger, he would quickly flee with Liu Defeated City.

The passage was straight and flat, and the walls were polished smooth, and it was evident that a lot of effort had been put into the excavation, and it was not done in a hurry.

After walking out of the estimated three or four hundred meters, the passage is over.

The moment he saw the steps ahead, Liu Yucheng paused and looked up at the top of his head.

Xue Lang, who put out the line, also looked up.

In the light, the boulder on the roof of the cave is slightly different in color, and a square can be seen.

Liu Yucheng carefully inspected the surroundings, and then said: "If the mechanism fails to open, this place will be blocked by boulders." For modern means, although it is pediatric, but that, once this boulder falls, it is easy to get open, and there will be other means, you look at these grooves. ”

Xue Lang looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, he saw three thick grooves on the left and right walls, just like the design of the waterway, thinking that there would be liquid flowing down here.

Depending on the thickness of the groove, the half-pipe liquid will never be water if it runs down, and the water will not be able to fill here for a while and a half.

looked at the ice cicada beads hanging in the online loan on his chest, and after confirming that there was no poisonous gas here, he said with a smile: "It seems that opening the mechanism will save a lot of trouble, otherwise, even if you stumble upon this place, if you can't open it correctly, you will really die." ”

Liu Yucheng nodded, didn't say anything more, walked straight to the steps, looked carefully, and walked up the steps carved out of the mountain.

Xue Lang looked at the boulder above his head, quickly followed, and the line was consciously attached to the root, so as to prevent the boulder from falling and breaking the line.

The stairs are still very long, and there are no mechanisms.

If you want to come here, the treasure is also for future generations to take away, and you will definitely not get so many deadly things.

As soon as he reached the top of the steps, Liu Yucheng paused.

Xue Lang followed closely and saw the situation in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Isn't it a treasure, why is it so much mess......

Liu Yucheng turned his head, illuminated the surroundings with the light above his head, and said, "This is actually a golden fang. ”

"Jinfang?"

Xue Lang looked around suspiciously, feeling that those things that looked like large pots and molds were a bit like a smelting workshop or a sand turning workshop.

Liu Yucheng looked at the soles of his feet carefully, walked to a mold, looked at it carefully, and said, "That's right, this is a workshop for smelting gold. ”

Workshop......

Xue Lang was a little confused.

It took so much effort to hide a workshop......

Liu Chengcheng carefully looked at the tools that were still in good condition, and all the things, and praised: "This is the most complete gold smelting and casting workshop of the Yuan Dynasty found in China so far, even the Qing Dynasty is not so complete, and many of them are restored by data." ”

"Is it really from the Yuan Dynasty?"

Xue Lang was completely surprised.

Here, before the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope, the Yuan Dynasty actually built a gold smelting and processing workshop here, which is more than 100 years in advance of the historical record of the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope.

Liu Luocheng looked at a few things carefully, although he didn't pick them up, but he said very firmly: "This is the process of the early Yuan Dynasty, and it is not the stage of complete integration with the gold smelting technology of the Han nationality in the later period. ”

After speaking, his brow furrowed.

Here, how can there be a workshop in the Yuan Dynasty? And the scale is not small, look at the traces of the smoke and fire in the cave, here, it is not a place to put on a sauvenir, but it is really a smelting place, or a smelting workshop that has been working for a long time.

He also has Xue Lang's doubts, here, the Yuan Dynasty came by chance, and it is understandable that it was not recorded in the annals, because he didn't necessarily know where it was. But the smelting workshop explained that they stayed here for a long time.

This discovery can change history, change the time when the Cape of Good Hope was discovered, and change the farthest and earliest record of Chinese historical navigation.

As long as this dormant workshop is unveiled, it can cause a sensation in the world and trigger a new round of historical discussion.

Puzzled and shocked, the two of them slowly passed through the middle of the workshop cut out of the mountain, without moving anything.

Here, it must be kept in its original appearance to be a shocking archaeological discovery.

However, whether this is exposed or not, Xue Lang has other plans.

There is a question of ownership of the things that are made here, so even if it is from the Yuan Dynasty, it belongs here, and it is an archaeological discovery here.

Based on this, it is difficult to say whether this place will be exposed or whether it will affect tourism here after all the things here are taken away.

Turning around, Liu Yucheng saw a few blocked ventilation ducts, and confirmed that those places were smoking, otherwise, once a fire broke out here, it wouldn't suffocate everyone inside?

At the same time, I saw another entrance. It's just blocked.

The conjecture is also that the passage of the mechanism that comes in is made later, which is not convenient for transporting materials or smelting here. Looking at the traces of smoke and fire, it has not existed here for a year or two, and the cave walls are all black. But it doesn't smell like smoky fire.

It's been hundreds of years, and all the smell has gone.

Xue Lang will become an audience, or a student, constantly listening to Liu Luocheng introduce some used and unused molds and utensils, and introduce how to cast and smelt here.

After listening more, Xue Lang couldn't help asking: "Since this is a place for casting, what is it used for?" Listen to you, it's not a minting workshop anyway, and it's not a place to cast gold ingots. ”

Liu Yucheng looked around at Nuoda's Jinfang, frowned slightly, and said, "These, we have to find the answer from those intact molds." Judging from the shape of these molds, the cast objects are not small. It's a pity that all the used ones have been disassembled and broken, and I don't know what exactly is cast. ”

Xue Lang also knew that these molds had small holes poured into the gold solution, and then formed, just like turning sand. But if you don't take it apart, it's really hard to know what it's for.

But if you take it apart, it will completely destroy the mold, and it will be difficult to restore it, but it will not be done in a while and a half.

The two of them walked around here, and under the light, they suddenly saw a metallic luster.

Be there!

The two of them were overjoyed, and their heads turned to that side, and then they saw a double stone gate with a crack removed, just like the city gate. On either side of the stone gate stood two rows of samurai, both holding swords.

Near the right-hand side, a warrior with a golden sheen held a stick in one hand, but the other hand was outstretched, as if asking for something.

The two of them walked in and saw that there were a total of twelve statues here, roughly looking at the stone, life-size and life-size, and on the outside, they were all covered with heavy armor and cloaks, which was very vivid. The expression on his face is also extremely realistic, and it looks really similar to a real person.

For the first time, Xue Lang took a closer look at the costumes of the Yuan Dynasty, especially the weapons and armor, which looked fresh.

Glancing at the door that opened the gap, he retracted his gaze and asked, "Everything else is a knife, how is this a stick?" ”

Liu Chengcheng's eyes were full of light, looking at such a well-equipped statue with a shock in his heart, and when he heard Xue Lang ask, he withdrew his gaze from a statue, and then said: "This is not a stick, this is a standard Yuan Dynasty weapon, called Copper Guduo, the front is copper casting, and the back is a wooden handle, which is equivalent to a small long-handled sledgehammer." ”

Oh yes......

It was the first time Xue Lang had heard of this weapon, but it was conceivable that this thing was heavy in front, and when it hit his body, it must have broken bones and tendons, and his armor was in vain.

Liu Yucheng looked at this special statue, and then pointed to the side and said: "These are phoenix mouth knives, which are famous weapons in the original Song Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty was good at riding and shooting, and the development of these weapons was not good, and they were restored in the Ming Dynasty, and they were not as good as the Song Dynasty." ”

Speaking, without waiting for Xue Lang to ask, he pointed to these armors and said: "Their armor is not infantry armor, it is cavalry heavy armor, if these statues are published, the sensation will be greater than some major domestic discoveries, this is a very rare complete stone carving, the armor on the outside, the image is realistic, lifelike." The air here is almost dry and not circulating, and these cloth decorations look intact, not rotten and broken, and the color has not changed, which is rare, and it is clearer and more convincing than the historical materials inherited from the album. ”

Xue Lang's eyes were empty.

Indeed, as Liu Yucheng said, if this place is unveiled, it will be a shocking discovery. One is to rewrite the history of the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope, to rewrite the history of Chinese navigation, and most importantly, these well-preserved statues and alchemy workshops. Nothing else, these are priceless.

Liu Yucheng retracted his gaze, looked at the golden statue, and exclaimed: "At that time, the gold leaf technology was already so exquisite, it was not worse than the technology during the Tianzhu Peacock Empire and the Delhi Sultanate, or even better. ”

Gold foil?

Xue Lang looked at the statue that looked like a golden warrior and asked, "Isn't it all gold?" ”

"It's not."

Liu Yucheng shook his head and said, "It's just a thin layer, and the inside is probably the same as the armor of those statues." ”

Xue Lang looked at it carefully, but he didn't see that it was a layer of skin, which was very smooth, just like armor made directly from gold or brass.

He looked at the crack in the door again and said, "These can't be exposed for the time being, let's see later, and I can't let outsiders know here, now, can I go in and see what kind of treasure it is?" ”

Liu Yucheng glanced at the stone door and said: "This is the final key, the people who are buried here hope that someone will take these away, but not everyone can take them, if you don't want to bury your bones in the belly of this mountain, you can't go directly to the open door." ”

And the organs?

Xue Lang's eyes were weak, and he felt that although the road was smooth, he was also worried. I don't know what this last mechanism is, what the danger is.
