Chapter 389: Fluorite Lantern
While speaking, Huzi has searched the entire ship, and did not find anything, Huzi, who looked disappointed, raised the flashlight and shone forward, and suddenly shouted "I wipe, this boat is ......"
Before we didn't use any light source to illuminate the ghost town, but the ghost city glows so that we can see, but after all, the light is still relatively weak, and now Huzi uses a flashlight to shine like this, we can't help but gasp, at the beginning of the period, I only knew that this search ship is very huge, now it seems to be even more shocking, I don't know what the reason is, the bow of the ship actually hit the gate of the ghost city, the cabin where we are is about 100 meters away from the bow of the ship, and there is a wooden corridor in the middle that leads directly to the bow, This way, we don't have to be exposed to the whirlwind and we can go straight to the gates of the ghost town.
When I came to the city gate, I looked up and saw a row of lanterns hanging on the top of the city wall, one of which was almost every fifty or sixty centimeters, and it was from this lantern that the green light of the entire ghost town came out.
"Damn, why does this lantern feel so strange, it seems to be different from what we've seen before?" Huzi raised his hand to shine directly below the lantern, this photo I found that the middle of the lantern was hollow, there was no place to put candles, and there was no luminous matter such as flames.
Seeing my expression, Wang Ying first sneered and said, "What? Do you still think this is a permanent light? β
Huzi pursed his mouth and said, "Otherwise? β
Wang Ying's expression was serious, and he scolded, "Ignorance, the so-called ever-bright lamp is just adding white phosphorus to the wick, and it will be natural to meet the air at room temperature, the tomb is closed all year round, and the wick mixed with white phosphorus is not lit, but when the tomb robbers enter, open the tomb door, and the air will burn after entering, at best, it can last for about an hour at most, and the temperature here is so low, even if there is this kind of ever-bright lamp, it will not be ignited." β
Huzi was taken aback, stared at Wang Ying with wide eyes, and said, "Then you say, what is this thing, damn it, what's going on here?" β
Wang Ying first looked up at the lantern, then sighed and said, "It's fluorite, a lantern made of a special rare fluorite." β
Hearing Wang Ying's words, I couldn't help but be stunned, fluorite? I know this kind of thing, just like the nature of our current phosphor, it can absorb the light source, and then release it in the dark environment, if the number is enough, it can also play the role of lighting, but this fluorite luminescence must first absorb the light source, when we came in, there was no light source to illuminate the ghost town, why this ghost town has stood in the dark and damp underground for thousands of years, and the fluorite lantern can still shine? Even if the builders used fluorite of this material to create millions of lanterns in the early days, after thousands of years, the light source stored in these fluorites should have been dissipated long ago, why is it still glowing today?
I looked at Wang Ying and asked all these questions in one go, although this Wang Ying is quite capable, but after all, he is not the seventh master, and I am not polite to him.
Wang Ying glanced at me and said, "This kind of fluorite is not an ordinary fluorite, this fluorite is produced in the Jiaodong in the coastal area, at that time it was called the fluorite of the underworld, and it is said that on the gate of the underworld, there are two lanterns hanging, which are endless, illuminating the Yellow Spring, which is made of this fluorite, and this fluorite has one of the biggest characteristics......"
Wang Ying was halfway through his words, but he suddenly stopped, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the lantern again, and didn't seem to mean to continue.
This is a bad tiger, "Damn, if you have a fart, let it go, let it go halfway, and the whole family will be finished." As soon as Huzi's words came out, the angry Wang Ying snorted, and he was about to move forward quickly.
I've seen a lot of people like him, and I just want to show off at a critical time, if you don't satisfy his little vanity, I will definitely not say it, so I hurriedly grabbed him, with a smile on my face, and asked, "Old man Wang, you dissipate your anger, my brother is a rough man, not very good at talking, you are well-informed, what kind of formation have you not seen?" Don't be like him, let's talk about what is so special about this fluorite lantern. β
Maybe seeing that my attitude was more upright, Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Huzi, and said slowly, "Do you know that after a person dies, there will be a ghost fire?" β
I do know this, and science has explained that this ghost fire is actually a phosphorus fire, and it usually appears in the countryside and in the graves on dry days in the summer. Nowadays, it is rare, because in the past, the countryside was mostly burial, and human bones contained phosphorus, and when phosphorus reacted with water or alkali, phosphorus oxide was produced, and it burned when the stored heat reached the burning point.
Because the phosphorus fire is very light, because the flow rate is large and the pressure is small, people will drive it to move behind it when they walk, and it is very scary to look back, so it is called "ghost fire" by those who are timid or superstitious.
I looked at Wang Ying, and then asked, "What's wrong with the ghost fire?" β
Wang Ying pointed to the lantern closest to us and said, "The special feature of this fluorite is that it can attract these ghost fires and then absorb the light source. β
After listening to Wang Ying's words, Huzi let out a long sigh, then looked at the hundreds of lanterns on the city wall in front of him, and said, "Then according to what you say, this has been made for thousands of years, and it can still shine, all relying on ghost fire?" If so, how many dry bones must there be in this city? If you don't say anything, it's two or three hundred million, right? And you have to die a thousand, a thousand next to each other, you can't all die at once, otherwise you won't be able to survive now. β
Although Huzi's words are very rough, but they are very reasonable, even if this fluorite has the quality of attracting ghost fire, it will not be able to last for thousands of years without extinguishing, there must be other reasons for this.
At this time, the seventh master, who had been observing the surrounding environment, said, "There are two possibilities, the first is that in the past ten years, someone has come here and used lighting tools, causing the ghost town to be lit up again. β
Halfway through the words, the Seventh Master stopped, and Huzi hurriedly said, "Oh, I said Seventh Master, how can you learn this from Old Man Wang?" Half the talk! β
The Seventh Master shook his head, sighed and said, "It's not that it's half-said, but the second possibility is too small." β
Wang Chuyi asked, "What possibility?" β
The seventh master glanced at her, and then said, "The second possibility is that there is natural light shining in, which will appear every other cycle, this possibility is too small, you must know that we are at least sixty meters underground now, and maybe even deeper, how can there be natural light shining in?" β
The seventh master is also right, the environment here is dark all year round, how can there be natural light? Unless it's a broken brain, everyone will believe in the first possibility, but that's it, Huzi still raised the flashlight and shone it above his head, but the end of the flashlight light was still pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.
Seeing Huzi's action, Wang Ying laughed instead, and he didn't know whether he was angry with Huzi or laughed at him for being too naΓ―ve. "Are you really taking a picture? How are you looking for the sun? Or are you looking for the moon? β
After speaking, Wang Ying laughed wildly again, and Huzi was a little embarrassed by his laughter, so he urged, "What kind of laugh at the damn smile, hurry in, don't delay Lao Tzu to make a fortune, the dark weapons are waiting for Lao Tzu." After speaking, he pushed Wang Ying, this time Huzi is honest, no longer blindly rushing forward, and knows to find someone to be cannon fodder for him.
Wang Ying shook his head to himself, looking very helpless, and after sighing, he walked towards the gate of this ghost city in one step.
Coming to the bottom of the city gate, this place has been knocked out by the warship with a huge gap, more than enough to accommodate one person to enter, so we entered the ancient city without any problems.
Strange to say, when we entered the ghost town under the lake, we found that there was no cold wind here, not only that, but the temperature also rose a lot, which was in stark contrast to the huge ships and glaciers outside the city.
"Weird, it's so big here!" After Huzi entered this ancient city, his first reaction was this sentence, but he was right, I also felt that this ghost town was too big, the big one was a little strange, the ground of the ghost town was paved with bluestone roads, very long, and the light of the flashlight was not exhaustive, and all kinds of small stalls and small workshops on both sides of the streets of the ghost city were all there, like a thriving atmosphere.
Huzi saw that this formation was still frozen, and rushed towards a private house with a jump, in his mind, there must be a lot of spiritual weapons in this kind of ancient city.
But less than half a minute after Huzi rushed into the room, I saw him retreat from the house, and when he came out, he did not forget to close the door of the house again.
"What's wrong? Came out empty-handed? Huzi, is this still the fucking you? Didn't you go into the tomb and become a living bandit? Why is it so generous this time? β
In response to my ridicule, Huzi waved his hand, sat on the ground, and said angrily, "Don't fucking mention it, there is no hair in this house, let alone any dead weapons, not even tables, chairs and benches, if the rats go in, it is estimated that they will starve to death." β
Hearing Huzi say this, we all frowned, and our first reaction was that something was wrong, such a big city, how could it be possible to use rare fluorite to make lanterns, how could there be no spiritual weapons? Even if it's an ordinary house, then at least there must be a dish or something, how can it be empty?
Thinking of this, I also curiously pushed open the door of a private house, and as soon as the door opened, I couldn't help but be stunned.
