Chapter 886: The Secret Passage of the Underground Palace

Full of questions, Wang Stupid left the moon.

Back in the dormitory, after thinking for a while, the sky was already bright.

Perhaps because they had to wait for the test results, the archaeological team did not go to the field to survey today, except for the head of the water regiment and Sima Lanxin and Ruonan, they all nested in the dormitory and chatted.

Most of the archaeologists were nested in Shi Xiaobao's room, and when Wang Du passed, everyone was playing a game of darts.

At the beginning, everyone still took turns playing darts, but in the back, it became a crowd gambling, of course, crowd gambling was not a very sudden thing, but Shi Xiaobao had been planning for a long time, little by little, to lure archaeological experts to take the bait.

When playing darts from the beginning became a gambling mode, Shi Xiaobao was like a god, the darts were all shots, from the beginning of two meters, has moved to five meters away, and the field has also been transferred to the courtyard outside, constantly increasing the distance, but he is still a hundred shots, with the increase in difficulty, a group of bitter archaeological experts in the pockets of all the property transferred to Shi Xiaobao's bag.

In the face of the bet that the darts are getting farther and farther away, a group of archaeological experts have gone crazy, and they keep adding funds, and even do not hesitate to borrow from colleagues.

When Shi Xiaobao saw Wang Stupid appear, he sneered at Wang Stupid with a smug face......

……

Wang Du watched for a few minutes and walked away, he could already see that Shi Xiaobao was willing to give up because he was intent on squeezing out the little money in the purse of a group of bitter archaeologists.

Wang Stupid didn't bother to care about these things, and walked straight to Ruonan's office.

Ruonan's office is temporarily set up in a warehouse next to the dormitory, and the equipment dragged last time is also placed in this warehouse, and during this time, it has been put into use by Ruonan.

The office is very large, and there are some advanced equipment and instruments everywhere, among which there are many very expensive equipment, which have not been seen in China.

When Wang arrived at the office, the three of them were discussing.

"Wang Stupid, this is the satellite survey photos of the Imperial Tomb, these are the geological survey reports, this is the information of nuclear magnetic resonance, and these are the clues found from the historical records, in addition, there are some results calculated according to us!" Ruonan glanced up at Wang Fool and pointed to a large pile of materials on the desk.

"Found the entrance?" Wang Du's spirit was lifted.

"Nope!" Wakao shook his head.

"Ah......h

"It's not as simple as that big. The burial chamber is about the size of a football field, and the underground palace is the place where the coffin and burial utensils are placed, which is the core of the Qin Emperor's mausoleum building. Regarding the location of the Qinling underground palace, there have always been different opinions. There is an introduction to the depth of the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum in the historical material "Han Old Yi": In 210 BC, Prime Minister Li Si reported to Qin Shi Huang that he had brought 720,000 people to build the Lishan Mausoleum. It's been dug like it's going to the ground. At that time, after hearing this, Qin Shi Huang ordered 'another 300 zhang or even 'side'. The saying of 'three hundred zhang on the side' makes the location of the Qinling underground palace even more confusing. Folklore once said that the Qinling underground palace is in the mountains, and there is an underground passage between Lishan and Qinling. Whenever it rains on a cloudy day, there are 'Yin soldiers' in the underground passage, and people are cheering and shouting, which is very lively. It is reported that archaeologists have done a lot of research based on this legend, but they have not been able to find this legendary underground passage. It's all legends. Many legends are not reliable, but the 'side line of three hundred zhang' may be some secrets......" The head of the water group glanced at Wang Du.

"If the man used remote sensing and geophysical exploration methods to carry out detailed exploration, in fact, the underground palace is under the sealed mound. The large-scale underground palace is located below the top platform of the mound and its surroundings, 35 meters deep from the ground level, 170 long from east to west, 145 wide from north to south, and the main body and burial chamber are rectangular. It has now been established that the burial chamber is located in the center of the underground palace. It is 15 meters high and the size of a standard football field......" Sima Lanxin said.

"There's only one and only one passage!" The head of the water regiment took out a drawing and said: "From the satellite survey and my memory analysis, there is a secret passage more than 50 kilometers away from the imperial tomb, which directly enters the interior of the imperial tomb!"

"Why?" Wang Fool was shocked, he didn't expect that there was a direct passage to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, let alone that it was as long as 50 kilometers.

"This dark passage has been damaged a lot now, it is difficult to find clues from the survey pictures, however, there are still some faint patterns to be found on it, you see, this is a satellite picture, this dark place is intermittent, it is the direction of the dark passage, and it is also consistent with the tunnel that suddenly appeared decades ago" The head of the water regiment pointed to the faint dark passage on the data map.

"But...... But...... Why is there such a secret road?"

"This can no longer be verified, at that time there was a tomb repair supervisor is a distant relative of Li Si, it is said that because he violated the law of Daqin and was transferred to the mausoleum supervisor, and his job at that time was very dangerous, according to the rules, he should be one of the funeral personnel, maybe it is a back road he left for himself, of course, from the evidence point of view, it should be impossible, this secret passage may hide some other secrets, of course, this is not something we can find out, our purpose now is to find this secret passage, According to the survey data, this dark passage may be mostly damaged, and we can only get close to the underground palace by digging little by little along the damaged dark passage......"

"Dig fifty kilometers?" Wang Du couldn't help but gasp.

"You're crazy, we're just probing, not really digging." Sima Lanxin said angrily.

"That's that, that's." Wang stupidly laughed.

"Hehe, even if you are asked to dig, you won't be able to dig the dungeon." The head of the water group smiled.

"Why?"

"In the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the most powerful thing is not those bow and crossbow mechanisms, but mercury and oxygen-free space!"

"Mercury I know, toxic, what is oxygen-free space?" Wang was stunned.

"The purpose of using mercury in the imperial tomb is not only to create a magnificent and luxurious landscape, but also to keep the corpses and burial goods incorruptible for a long time. In addition, it is highly poisonous, and it can poison tomb robbers. You also know this, as for the oxygen-free space, it refers to the 'ever-bright lamp' to make oxygen-free underground palace candles, and those who can't be extinguished will last for a long time', that is, the candle is used to burn in the underground palace for a long time. This practice is actually an anti-corrosion and anti-theft measure. When the candle burns, it needs a lot of oxygen, after the palace is closed, the inside and outside are isolated, and the air is gradually exhausted by the candle burning, forming a relatively stable oxygen-free space, in addition to ensuring that the corpse and burial goods are not oxidized, once a tomb robber enters rashly, the end is suffocation!"

"Oh......" Wang Stupid didn't care, after all, he was a cultivator in the out-of-body period, and it didn't matter if there was air or not.

"Actually, it's not impossible to really get in." Ruonan tilted his head and said.

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Fool looked at Ruonan who spoke with interest.

"This problem is a bit difficult, but we can still overcome it, we only need to carry enough oxygen cylinders, put on anti-biochemical clothing, and the oxygen-free space does not pose a threat at all, of course, these problems I am talking about still have an insurmountable difficulty, the scope of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is so vast and the scale is beyond imagination, we can't calculate how much oxygen and food are needed, there are dozens of kilometers from the dark passage to the core of the tomb, if there is a turning point, or there is a damaged dark passage that needs to be repaired, then, The amount of oxygen and food we need cannot be calculated, and in addition, none of us know what we will encounter in the tomb, so in fact, the oxygen and food we need are unknown......" Wakanan showed a trace of regret on his face.

"Hehe, Ruonan wants to go in and have a look." Wang stupidly laughed.

"And say me, who here doesn't want to go in and have a look!" Ruonan glanced at the head of the water group.

"Hehe, having said that, we can only say that our mission this time is to assess the risk of excavation, not to really enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, you don't put the cart before the horse." The head of the water group smiled.

"Now that we've discovered that secret passage, let's sneak in and take a look...... Sima Lanxin grinned.

"Okay, okay, don't be whimsical here, with our equipment, it is impossible to enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor at all, everyone is still dead...... Hey, it's noon, let's go, let's eat. ”

The water leader got up, stretched his body, and walked towards the outside of the warehouse.

"Ah......h

As soon as the head of the water regiment walked to the door, an archaeologist who almost ran in after him bumped into his arms, and behind him, there were two bodyguards who were tall and tall, and the faces of the three of them were all angry and deplorable.

"What's wrong with you?" The head of the water group asked.

"Captain Shui, borrow some money, ...... quickly"

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing the anxious expression on his subordinates' faces, the head of the water regiment naturally wanted to ask clearly.

"A group of us lost more than two million." The archaeologist said with a sad face.

"Ah...... How did you lose? "The water mass grew and was shocked. The salary of archaeological experts is not much, and occasionally they can borrow some private work for identification, and the income is quite considerable, but they lose more than 2 million at once, which is a large amount for the head of the water regiment.

"We ......" The archaeologists seemed to suddenly wake up and were speechless.

"Hahaha...... Captain Shui, come on, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together, and play two together. Under the big tree in the courtyard, Shi Xiaobao laughed at the head of the water group.

Seeing that Sima Lanxin, the head of the water regiment, came out, Xu Xianxian and the Chinese werewolves who were watching were all smiling, and they knew that another fat sheep had been sent to the door.

"What are you playing?"

The head of the water group walked to the bottom of the big tree with a suspicious face, and there was a circular target hanging on the tree, and on the target, several flying knives were inserted.

"Captain Shui, 50,000 bets, if you shoot, you give me 50,000, if you don't shoot, I'll give you 500,000." Shi Xiaobao said proudly.

"How far is it?" The water leader glanced at the small target on the tree.

"Twenty meters."

"Hit the heart?"

"Hey, Captain Shui, twenty meters to shoot the red heart, aren't you embarrassing me?" Shi Xiaobao looked at the head of the water group with a shocked expression.

Looking at Shi Xiaobao's acting skills comparable to that of an actor, Wang Du sighed in his heart, it seems that the head of the water group can't escape Shi Xiaobao's clutches, this guy is determined to squeeze out the pockets of all archaeological experts today, even the head of the water regiment......
