Chapter 378: Incredible Murals

Before entering the tomb, he still wanted to look for information first.

Qin Shi Huang, as the first emperor of the ages, put an end to the chaotic Warring States, swept Liuhe, and collected all the treasures of the world.

He has fought all his life, and the wealth he has is absolutely beyond imagination, so no one will not remember this mausoleum after his death.

However, even after thousands of years, this place has not been destroyed, in addition to the respect of the rulers of the past generations and the fact that they sent troops to protect it, there is also a reason that it must have some kind of defense mechanism itself.

Xu Ning has been looking for a long time, and no one has fully understood the specific situation inside the tomb of King Qin.

"The First Emperor ascended the throne...... With mercury as the rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy and geography. With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time. ”

Xu Ning muttered to himself.

This passage briefly summarizes the situation of the tomb of King Qin, the people of the Qin Dynasty attached great importance to water conservancy and highly respected the rivers, lakes and seas, so they used mercury to simulate hundreds of rivers and seas, and included these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, so that Qin Shi Huang could continue to rule the world after his death.

When Xu Ning was reading in the past, every time he read this paragraph, he was extremely shocked.

The mercury in it will be like a river, you know, mercury is highly poisonous, and it will kill you if you have a little mouth, let alone so many rivers.

"It really deserves to be the emperor of the ages, and the underground palace after death is also unprecedented, if you really ask for the elixir, I'm afraid this earth can be renamed Huaxia Planet." ”

Xu Ning's words carried some ridicule.

However, the people who originally studied this passage basically regarded it as a joke, after all, the secret of the tomb of King Qin was highly confidential, and with the means of Qin Shi Huang, if someone could really leak it, I am afraid it would be quickly covered up.

What's more, Taishi Gong's era is how many years before the construction of King Qin's tomb, so those readers didn't believe it at first.

It was not until modern times that scholars used equipment to detect that the soil near Lishan Mountain did indeed contain a large amount of mercury, and thus deduced that it was flowing from the tomb, and finally confirmed this through some imaging equipment.

After having this evidence, some people began to look for information in the history books, and finally came to a conclusion that the construction of the tomb of King Qin took 700,000 people before and after, and it took 30 years to ensure that there would be no leakage of the design drawings for such a huge project.

Therefore, Tai Shi Gong's description is very likely to be completely true.

"What kind of underground world is it?"

Xu Ning was puzzled for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal around, he turned into a prototype and drilled into the cave.

In the tomb of King Qin, it is naturally a legendary place, although Xu Ning has been prepared, but the moment he entered the tomb, he was still so surprised that he couldn't say a word.

The top of the tomb is painted, and the content of the painting about the starry sky is vivid, as if innocently falling, which is very much in line with the domineering personality of Qin Shi Huang.

As the saying goes, the stars are brilliant and can be reached, and the rivers are so good that they can be stepped on.

What surprised Xu Ning even more was that the top wall of the tomb was actually painted with the orbits of the eight planets.

When it comes to the eight planets of the solar system, I believe that everyone who has received a scientific education is familiar with it.

It is said that in ancient societies with good air quality, people could observe the starry sky without the help of astronomical equipment, so every dynasty and generation had lovers who specialized in watching the starry sky, and this group of people was called Xingguan.

These people were very valued by the feudal rulers in ancient China, and the Qin and Han dynasties would set up official positions for these people, and in the Tang Dynasty, they were changed to Si Tiantai, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were renamed Qin Tianjian.

Generally speaking, the rank of the Qintian Supervisor is only from the 7th rank, and the official rank is indeed not large, but it is an institution that almost every dynasty must set up.

These professionals, however, often served the feudal rulers.

In order to cater to their wishes, they usually design a lot of anecdotes, or so-called auspicious fortunes, which make their data records less credible.

Moreover, these so-called "astronomers" in ancient times were limited by the scientific conditions at that time, and the specific conditions of some celestial bodies could not be observed with the naked eye, and their understanding of the starry sky only stayed at the orientation and change trajectory.

It was not until 1609, when Galileo Galilei invented the astronomical telescope, that human astronomy entered an era of vigorous development.

The discovery of the eight planetary systems was at least more than 200 years after the invention of astronomical telescopes.

However, if the tomb of King Qin can really be unveiled, this tomb mural alone will be enough to destroy the entire world astronomical system.

It is hard to imagine that in the Qin Dynasty, where scientific literacy was still so lacking, someone was able to observe the eight planets and draw them perfectly.

Thinking of this, Xu Ning felt wrong again.

"Isn't the ancient idea of the heavens and the earth being the most advocated, and if this picture is true, how can this erroneous idea be delayed for so long?"

Xu Ning was puzzled for a while, it seems that in the era when Qin Shi Huang was about to die, there were really all kinds of things that did not conform to common sense, and all kinds of strange phenomena in the world today may be able to find their source in that era.

However, it wasn't a question he should be concerned about at the moment, he just wanted to know, what was the purpose of Xu Fu coming here? Of course, it would be better if he could take him down, after all, he was a first-hand witness of that era, and he must know more information.

However, from various sources, the possibility of Xu Ning wanting to take him down is too small, and if he can live for thousands of years, I am afraid that he will not be a normal human being for a long time.

Xu Ning turned into a baby turtle, and because he took the Condensing Pill, he didn't need to worry about the lack of water.

After all, if there is a shortage of water in this place, you can only jump into the water galaxy to replenish it.

The tomb was empty, and Xu Fu must have entered a deeper place.

Xu Ning noticed that in the middle of this sea of mercury, there was a bronze coffin.

According to various historical sources, Qin Shi Huang's body floated on it, and because of the effect of mercury, his body is very likely to be the same as when he was buried.

Xu Ning wanted to open the coffin, but at this time, he heard a roar from the depths of the tomb.

The voice was very strange, it seemed to come from an animal that had never been seen before, Xu Ning thought about it, and decided to give up what was in front of him first and go to the depths of the tomb.
