Chapter 15 Tap Stone
"Teacher, how can we pass through this huge door, I see that the stone door in front of me is enough to be blown open with explosives TNT, what can we do?" Yang Cheng asked anxiously, at this time, everyone knows that if we can't open it, we don't want to be able to see the rare treasures inside, let alone be able to do the archaeological legend of the world's civilization.

But now I saw Shimen in front of me and laughed knowingly, and Lan Shan and Liu Qiushui were also watching Yang Cheng from the side.
"What are you laughing at? Teacher, is there any way to open this stone door, you can say it quickly, it makes my heart itch. Yang Cheng said anxiously.
"Qiushui, you can talk to Yang Cheng, I'll go and see the carving on this stone gate." I walked over to it, not touching the stone door, but looking closely at the beautiful carvings in front of me.
"You! I'm still a top student in the Department of Archaeology, and I don't usually read books well, so I'm embarrassed at this time! This kind of stone door is also called 'sealed door' in our archaeology department, and it is carved from a heavy whole world, with two left and right doors. Ancient craftsmen used the folk wooden stick to top the door away, designed a stone, from the inside to seal the door, after the door is closed, outsiders can not open from the outside, unless you can blow up the door as you said. But there is also a problem here, the top door in the people's house is because someone lives in it, but there are only private people in the underground palace, is it possible that the last craftsman will be martyred to the tomb owner after completing the door?
If it's too scary to imagine like this, who wants to close the door in the end? However, our ancient ancestors also had great wisdom, and they had to think about their own life when designing. Wise craftsmen will in this case, they will design a kind of 'nail key', in the last door to seal the door first close a door, and then the top door with a stone upright, close to the outside of the other door, and then with the nail key to hold the stone, the craftsmen stand outside the door, the door slowly closed, the stone will follow the door a little tilt, and finally when the two doors finally close, can just seal the door to death.
In this way, there will be a stone trough behind the door specifically for fixing the stone, no matter how the people outside push the door, the stone will not slip off, so this kind of stone used to top the door also has a name called 'tap stone'. ”
"It turns out that Shi is like this, so after saying so much, how can we open this door!" Yang Cheng asked.
"Hey! You're stupid. Since we can close the door with the nail key, then there will naturally be a stone trough for the crutch key to enter and exit, as long as we find the stone trough, then the use of the crutch key will naturally top the stone, then we will be able to push open the stone door. Don't look at this stone gate so heavy, in fact, in ancient times, the key stone gate of the building had its own technology, and the stone gate stone was easy to push open. Lan Shan then replied.
At this time, when Lan Shan and Liu Qiushui finished explaining, I also found a small dark hole at the bottom of the sealed door. But I'm not sure if there's a mechanism inside, and if I get the crutch key in without permission, I'll be able to touch the mechanism. In fact, our archaeology department will carry this kind of crutch key outside, but our crutch key is more advanced, a bit like the structure of the Luoyang shovel, which can be continuously connected by using iron rods, no matter how far the stone behind it is.
But for now, I have no choice but to rescue Lao Hei and see if they have a good way to deal with this form of closure or agency. Seeing my inquiring eyes, Lao Hei nodded. "You wait for me here, I'll come when I go, this kind of thing still depends on the ability of our toiling masses." I saw Lao Hei running out of the corridor, and came back after a while, still holding three slender bamboo poles that I didn't know where to find them.
Lao Hei Zhi told us to stay away from sealing the door, because this kind of door sealing mechanism will generally be a crossbow arrow or poisonous sand, especially poisonous sand, in ancient times, the coarse sand will be soaked in a lot of venom mixed into the liquid, and then after drying in the sun, it will become a jet black color, if this coarse sand touches the skin, it will immediately begin to appear skin ulcers, and then poison to death. Therefore, many tomb robbers are afraid of this poisonous sand when they are upside down, and they recognize that they don't want to bury the sand alive and die because their skin is festering all over their bodies, and that kind of appearance is very miserable after death.
However, the crossbow arrows can not be taken lightly, this kind of thing was designed by the ancients very ingeniously, it is said that there are hundreds of crossbow arrows in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, this kind of thing can protect the mausoleum by itself, the lethality of the bow and crossbow is powerful, Ying Zheng used this device when building his own mausoleum, in order to shoot people who tried to enter the tomb. Sima Qian's "Records of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty" recorded: "The first emperor ascended the throne at the beginning of his reign and wore Lishan Mountain. And the world, the world sent more than 700,000 people, wearing three gao, under the copper and to the coffin, the palace view of hundreds of officials and strange artifacts are full of strange migration. Let the craftsman make a machine crossbow arrow, and those who are close to it will shoot it", it can be seen that the lethality of this kind of crossbow arrow is very great.
Lao Hei carefully sent the thin bamboo pole slowly into the dark hole I found before, but the length of a bamboo pole is not enough at all, but Lao Hei has been prepared. Split the back of the bamboo pole with a knife, and then insert the head of the other bamboo pole into the back of the previous one, and then connect them in turn, and then the length is just enough to reach into the dark hole. The other four of us held our breath and watched the old black operation seriously.
There was a sudden 'click' sound in the quiet dungeon, and Lao Hei was the first to react, first running towards the outside of the corridor, and then shouting loudly, "What are you doing in a daze?" Run! There's a mechanism! A few of us suddenly reacted and hurriedly ran to the back, but because our reaction was too slow, we saw that many small holes appeared on both sides of the wall from where the door was sealed, and shiny arrows appeared in them. When we saw these arrows, we spread out our arms and began to run wildly, only to hear the constant 'whoosh!' Sou! 'Whirling.
