Without waiting for him to speak, Haoyu immediately shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, keep going inside!" ”

Later, I learned that Haoyu was an idol-level existence in the hearts of most of the local criminal police and special police in Jinan, so most of his orders were willing to listen.

After walking another three or four hundred meters, we passed through this thick cement wall - in fact, it can no longer be understood by ordinary walls, and it is roughly estimated that from the time we stepped into the outside entrance, to the time we walked out, there were 1,500 meters.

This 1,500 meters is a solid cement entity, if you have to call it a "wall", such a thick, absolutely unique in ancient and modern China and abroad.

Even a modern first-class construction company is difficult to achieve this level.

I also have to admire Director Hu and the old glasses, although this kind of cement is much softer than the construction cement we use now, but it is not easy to dig out a hole of 1,500 meters.

It can be seen that they are prepared in advance.

It can also be concluded that the old glasses already knew everything below before going down to the cave, and it may be because of this! Before entering the cave, Haoyu was left with such an order.

From the expressions on everyone's faces, I can see that they, like me, are extremely shocked in their hearts at this moment.

Finally walked into the city wall, Haoyu once again let his subordinates fire two flares, accompanied by two consecutive "swish" sounds, and the entire surroundings became bright again.

"Look! How much like a medieval castle in France! ”

"That's right! The kind of castle where vampires live......"

Seeing the magnificent buildings around him, excitement seemed to replace nervousness and fear at this moment, and everyone opened their mouths, even Haoyu, who has never liked to show his expression, had a smile on his face at this moment.

"Do you think the medieval castle architecture of the West learned here?"

Lao Kong was especially excited, looking at a tall building, and muttered.

Maybe he just said something randomly, but I listened to it with a chuckle.

The Middle Ages in the West probably began around 1,000 AD, and the time should be at least 2,000 or hundreds less than the existence of these dungeons.

Later, when I asked Wu Jinghan, I could understand what kind of architecture a medieval European castle was.

The birth of medieval castles in Europe originated from the social environment in which they were located, and in general, castles were the product of social division and power separation.

For example, in medieval Europe, due to the implementation of the fiefdom system, the ownership of land was dispersed to the hands of nobles and knights, and the society was fragmented, with empires, kingdoms, principalities, knightly territories and other diverse, large and small feudal social entities all over the place.

No one has been able to articulate the boundaries between them, and no one has been able to fully tease out the connections between them. Wars often broke out between feudal nobles of all levels for various reasons, so they were always prepared for war and often participated in wars.

All nobles were equivalent to military generals, and their vassals constituted the ranks of officers and soldiers to which they belonged. It was these wars, large and small, that spread throughout Europe that made the castle's defensive role gradually stand out.

Taking Germany as an example, there are 15,000 ancient castles in West Germany alone, which fully reflects the feudal state of Germany in the Middle Ages. In addition, the technology and concept of warfare in the Middle Ages also determined that medieval warfare was a defensive war, and at that time, castles were the most reliable means of defense, enough to withstand the rapid attacks of cavalry, and transform a raid into a war of attrition.

So the lords built the castle to ensure that their estates and possessions were not violated.

Looking at the Orient, which is also known for its castle culture, the social environment from the birth of Japanese-style castles to the flourishing period also has similarities.

During the Warring States period and the Edo period, due to the implementation of the shogunate system, the land and army were concentrated in the hands of the shogunate, the daimyo and the feudal lords, and the society was relatively chaotic.

The two examples are very different from our situation in China. Most of the time in China, a feudal society practiced a strong centralized system, so there were not many cases of social division and armed separation. In the war, there was no strong castle, but a great wall was built to resist foreign invasion.

The Great Wall and the castle are both defensive buildings, but compared with the Great Wall, the castle also has secular functions such as dwellings and symbols, so once its defensive role disappears due to the evolution of history, the Great Wall stops developing, and the castle continues to develop as a secular building.

Therefore, the castle is a defensive building born to protect the safety of people and property in the territory.

The military role of the castle has always influenced the development of the castle.

Generally speaking, the authoritative view is that the main period of development of castles is from the appearance of the mound-city castle in the 9th century AD to the appearance of gunpowder weapons in the 14th century, which is also known as the "castle period" by medieval military experts.

In the ten seconds before the two flares went off, I could probably see the whole picture of the entire Jinan dungeon, and to be honest, it was even more shocking than seeing it from a distance.

"Let's split up and look for footprints on the ground!"

Haoyu shone his flashlight around while shouting at the people behind him.

Soon, a row of messy footprints was found again.

These footprints lead to a huge five-story building, which is located almost in the center of the entire underground city, square in shape, and covers an area of no less than 5,000 square meters.

Haoyu They have limited eyesight, and after listening to me describe the castle-style building, he asked his men to fire a flare.

Seeing the appearance of the building, everyone exclaimed again.

"Look! I think I've seen this building somewhere. ”

"I also feel a little familiar."

"Stop! This is definitely the first time you have been here, how can you see it! ”

"I'm sure I've never been here, but it does look familiar—I remember, last year, we watched that movie together, what do you remember called?"

"Quasimodo!"

"That's right! And an ugly man named Notre Dame! ”

"Don't you think this building is almost the same as Notre Dame Cathedral in the movie?"

"Really—you know, the movie was shot in the real Notre Dame Cathedral—is the building in front of us modeled after Notre Dame Cathedral?"

As soon as these words landed, they were scolded back by another person.

"! Notre Dame Cathedral was built just over a thousand years ago, and it was built three or four thousand years ago. ”

At this moment, the word "shocked" can no longer accurately describe my mood at the moment.

It's still a stone road, it's not difficult to walk, and it seems that the whole city is still in the state it was in before the closure.

Fortunately, the footprints on the ground were very clear, and we came all the way to the main entrance of the castle building.

It turned out to be a bronze door!

Although it is not exactly the same as the underground bronze door I have seen before, I can also see that it belongs to the same style, and I am more sure that this only underground ancient city of Jinan is related to the mysterious prehistoric civilization we have come into contact with before.

There was a gap in the door, and it was estimated that Director Hu and the others entered through this gap.

Walking to the bronze door, Haoyu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stop.

"For the sake of safety, everyone should be prepared for battle, and if you see something strange later, you must not rush close!"

Lao Kong was a few years older in this gang, and he hurriedly asked, "Haoyu, what are you worried about?" There are so many of us, and the equipment we brought this time is also complete. ”

Haoyu stared at the huge bronze door and said coldly: "Old Brother Kong, it's not that I'm worried about the sky, think about it, why did the ancients seal the entire city in such an extreme way back then?" ”

Lao Kong was speechless: "Is it really an infectious disease?" ”

"Whether it's an infectious disease or not, I don't know yet, but it must be a terrible reason why we can't let everyone or other living creatures in this city leave."

"Other living creatures?" Another little SWAT asked casually.

"I also said this casually based on the situation on the spot, and I always felt that if it was just for people, there was no need to pile up the cement to a thickness of one or two kilometers."

When I said this, everyone didn't dare to be sloppy, and they put on special police uniforms, and everyone handed me a set.

Haoyu put a pistol in front of me: "Brother, this trip is full of too many unknowns, it must be very dangerous, I invited you to join the action...... Be careful! ”

He patted me lightly on the shoulder, and an apologetic smile appeared on his face.

I know that Haoyu rarely shows his true temperament, and this time I actually took the initiative to participate, even if something happens, he doesn't need to blame himself at all.

"Brother Haoyu, after we go out, will you invite me to a drink?"

Haoyu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughed a few times: "Drinking? All right! Whatever wine you want to drink, brother, I'll please. ”
