The mural wasn't huge, but there were a lot of people on it, and it was a bird's-eye view at a 45-degree angle.

From this side, those people were made like grasshoppers, small and numerous, densely packed in a large area.

Brother Long said: "Oh my God, there are too many people. ”

From my point of view, it feels like there are at least a few thousand people, and this picture is obviously only a part of the people who built the city, according to this ratio, it is estimated that the entire city will need at least hundreds of thousands, or even more people.

Although this project is not as huge as the Great Wall, it is estimated that it is not far from the Great Wall because of its ingenious spring.

Zhang Shihong pointed to a direction at this time and said: "Look at this person here, he should be a commander, you see that his clothes and state are different." ”

I looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, I noticed a person who was different, but I thought it was a technician, but I didn't know what kind of technology he was responsible for.

"Strange?" I sensed something was wrong, and I couldn't help but say it.

No one heard it, but Lu Xiaodan seemed to hear it and asked, "Brother Wen, what are you strange about?" ”

Brother Long and Zhang Shihong just looked over, and their eyes were also asking me what was strange?

I could only smile faintly and say, "I just think there is something missing in this painting, and I really can't say what the strangeness is." ”

I looked at the picture, and it should be said that it was very detailed, and the state of the characters, the costumes, and the type of work could basically be seen clearly.

Even I was weird, I thought something was wrong.

Brother Long, they looked back at the picture again, probably looking for that strange feeling.

For a moment, neither of us spoke, just stared blankly at the picture.

Each thinks about his own business.

"I don't know if it's because Brother Wen said it, I also think it's a little strange." Lu Xiaodan said at this time.

Zhang Shihong nodded and said, "It's not because Brother Wen said, if you look at this painting carefully, you always feel a little missing, as if something is missing." ”

"Could it be because they didn't draw what they were doing?" Brother Long came up with an idea at this time and said: "You see, there is no city here at all, they are building on a flat land, our previous concept is that there is already a city here, so we feel that something is missing?" ”

"Not really." I immediately objected, "I don't feel anything wrong with the lack of a city. Because this is just a construction drawing, it is normal to have no city. I always felt like someone was missing. ”

"Is it the chief engineer?" Zhang Shihong also guessed at this time, and said, "There is no painting made by a craftsman here, this chief engineer is not here, this is just a record of a very small or ordinary people in the construction scene." So do you feel like something is down? ”

I shook my head again, no, I knew in my heart that it wasn't like that.

If they had guessed correctly, I would have had that feeling of sudden enlightenment, but now, I obviously don't feel that way.

What's going on?

It's such a simple painting, is there really something missing?

Or is it a feeling of mine, or rather, an illusion of mine, which I can't tell now.

Lu Xiaodan said with a smile at this time: "Okay, since we can't discuss it, don't discuss it, let's pass the test first, after all, this is a thousand years ago, even if there is no one missing, it will have no impact on us." ”

That's a good thing, that's right, even if we really lack anyone, we can't make up for it.

It's really useless to think about this.

Brother Long asked at this time, "You said these people are slaves?" Or criminals? ”

"It's the same for everyone." Zhang Shihong said: "They are all some of the lowest personnel, just like us, the top level is waiting for us to get things back, but we have to work hard." ”

Brother Long said: "How can it be the same, at least we have the autonomy to act now, not like them." ”

As soon as he said this, I felt a shock in my heart, as if that sentence had touched something in my heart.

I asked, "Brother Long, what did you just say?" ”

Brother Long was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I said that we have the autonomy to act, not like them. ”

Lu Xiaodan said: "Don't they also have the autonomy to act? Look at them, every man does his own thing. ”

"How can it be the same, if it is really a slave or a prisoner, they will have no autonomy, there will be an army......" Brother Long said at this time, suddenly stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, there is a lack of an army." ”

I thought about it too, and immediately added: "Yes, it's the lack of the army, the lack of overseers." What's going on? If these people were slaves or prisoners, they would probably be in chaos, and it would be impossible for them to work so honestly here, and without the suppression of the army, it would be unrealistic at all. ”

Everyone looked at the mural again, and there was indeed no shadow of any soldier in this mural, and everyone seemed to have consciously built it.

It's completely impossible.

Brother Long was the first to come to his senses and said: "Forget it, don't think about this, it's all said, this is not something we should think about, let's still think about passing the level, I'll use a flashlight." Look at the dots, and if there are words, write them down. ”

As he spoke, he turned on his flashlight and shone it upward.

I heard a "click" and the crystal on the head spun, and I thought there would be another word on the wall and then a door would open.

But when the "click" stopped, another painting appeared in front of us.

Damn, this kind of mechanism, is the wrong program set in advance?

And this is not simple, not only is it a related mechanism, but it can also change in this way, which is not something that ordinary people can design.

Everyone was stunned, obviously a little uncomfortable, what this painting showed was another construction drawing, but here, the protagonist we were expecting finally appeared.

In the center of the top of the picture, there is an official uniform, with wide ears and a bit of treacherous looks.

Looking at the clothes, this person should have been made by the national master craftsman of the Song Dynasty.

In front of him, there was another group of construction people, but these construction people were different, these people were surrounded by soldiers.

And the place where they are building is outlined with thin lines.

"Is it water?" Brother Long asked, "Where these people are building, there is actually water?" ”

"No," I had fully understood, "it's not water, it's a swamp, it's the endless swamp outside." These people should be real slaves. And the people who did the construction just now are probably some craftsmen. ”

Lu Xiaodan pulled my pants and asked, "Brother Wen, why do you say that?" ”

I pointed to the picture and said, "You see, these people are supervised by soldiers, which explains their identity, and they must use the suppression of soldiers to use them better." At the same time, you look at the clothes of these people, they are very bad, which shows that they live at the bottom of this society. ”

Zhang Shihong said at this time: "It makes sense. But how do you tell if the other group is artisans? ”

I smiled and said, "You can imagine it, isn't this trying to make a fool of me?" ”

Brother Long said impatiently: "Whether you can think of it or not, hurry up." ”

I had no choice but to sigh and say, "Look here, they didn't enter the Endless Swamp, and they couldn't have come to where they are now. If so, then, what are those people building? City? I'm afraid not, I think what they built should be a mechanism. But if they want to build a mechanism, their identity must be that they can use technology. ”

Zhang Shihong nodded and said, "I think so too." It seems that this place is just getting started, and no real construction has begun. ”

I looked at this drawing, and this should be only a part of the work place, but from here, the working environment of these people is quite bad.

And I've also overturned one of my thoughts.

The people on the first mural are probably all the craftsmen, and it is enough to build such a city, so many craftsmen.

But I'm afraid there will be more people here.

And such a large number of slaves need a large number of troops to support, that is to say, Gao Zu and the craftsmen are probably mobilized a considerable amount of manpower and material resources in the construction of this city.

Brother Long looked at the painting and said, "Anyway, they are still outside the swamp now, that is, this project has just begun, but does this have anything to do with us?" ”

Zhang Shihong smiled bitterly and said: "Comrade Captain, maybe it doesn't matter to you, but for me, this is very valuable for research, if you can prove that the things here are true, do you know?" Just these photos plus a dissertation can instantly make you a celebrity in the field of ancient civilization studies. ”

Damn, I'm really a Ph.D. student, and I can write a dissertation, but I can't even understand my fucking composition.

Of course, I'm not useless, at least my inspection is still as good as I want to be, and if there is a test evaluation, I believe that my inspection will win awards every year.

I'm afraid that now I have become the winner of the Nobel Award in the inspection industry.

Lu Xiaodan said to Zhang Shihong: "Brother Shihong, we are not here to become celebrities, we are still here to make a fortune, this is the important thing." ”

I agree with Lu Xiaodan's words, getting rich is the most important thing, and everything else is for this purpose.

I looked at Brother Long and motioned for him to continue.

Brother Long clicked right, we found the glowing bright spot, which was on the belt made by the craftsman, pressed it, and the font appeared again.

I looked at the words and felt in my heart that we were one step closer to the treasure.
