164. The Drifting Underground Building (Part I)
She realized that something was really out of her mind. She doesn't seem to be afraid of a guy in front of her who wants to "kill people and kill people", is it that after Liu Xi's incident, she is numb to "fear"? However, it may also be because there is Xuanyuan Yue next to her, who is not very much like a human, and it is estimated that it will take a while to kill her mouth.
"You want to kill me?" Xuanyuan Yue looked very distressed and said, "With that researcher's physical ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist even my punch, and I'll be very bored in this fight." ”
Xuanyuan Ru's face changed several times, but I don't know if it was because of Xuanyuan Yue's attitude or he understood that he was hitting a stone with an egg. What made her care was that Xuanyuan Ru did not panic no matter how her face changed, and judging from Xuanyuan Ruan's speech just now, she seemed to be quite familiar with this wonderful space. Even if Xuanyuan Yue can't be won by force, maybe Xuanyuan Yue can rely on the "geographical advantage" to retreat.
"I'm not stupid enough to engage in an armed contest with Xuanyuan Yue." Xuanyuan Ru snorted, and suddenly pressed a wall brick, and a burst of hot white mist suddenly poured out from the pressed wall tile, and it instantly filled the passage between Xuanyuan Ru and them.
"Wow, it's hot! It's hot steam! She hurriedly stepped back, it was no joke to be scalded by water vapor, boiling water is only 100 °C, but water vapor can reach more than 300 °C by the process of liquefaction and exothermy.
Xuanyuan Yue cautiously took a step back. The constant gushing steam completely blocked her view from this unwell-lit place, and she could only vaguely see Xuanyuan's figure getting smaller and smaller and hear the sound of footsteps fading away. "Xuanyuan Yue, she ran away." She is not in a hurry, anyway, Xuanyuan Yue, who should be in a hurry, still looks so leisurely.
"Run, run, she'll come back to us anyway." Xuanyuan Yue looked at the vapor that was inflated like a balloon and said calmly and steadily.
"You're saying she wants to know what's in the Chamber of Secrets from us, so she's going to have to come to the door?" It seems that Xuanyuan Ru is a bit stupid, and before he issued the declaration of "killing people and destroying mouths", he was still known to have something he needed and waited for Xuanyuan Yue to tell him.
"That's right." Xuanyuan Yue nodded.
"So what do we do now?" When they came, the road they were walking was occupied by steam, and if they went through it, they would be burned.
"It's okay, let's go the other way." Xuanyuan said, "There are other exits here. ”
"Oh...... but there is no fork in the road here, and the other way out will not be on the ceiling, right?!
As if discovering her doubts and disapproval, Xuanyuan Yue patted her head and said, "The clay slabs we looked at just now record the design here, this is not an ordinary tomb, but an underground structure built with technology that is incomparable today. As for the reason why Xuanyuan Ru is familiar with this place, it is probably that she often manipulates others to enter here to find what she wants, otherwise she would not know the structure of this place, right? ”
Underground construction? "So long ago, someone from Egypt came here and built an underground structure? The female pharaoh really has money and nowhere to spend. ”
"I think this was supposed to be in Egypt." Xuanyuan said, "Those clay tablets not only contain the design materials here, but also the female pharaoh's order to destroy all clues about the location of her mausoleum. ”
It is no wonder that the descendants have not been able to find the tomb of Hatshetshep, and it turns out that the female pharaoh herself does not want to be found. "And what else does the clay slab say about this underground structure? Could it be that this strange building ran to China on its own feet? "Aha, wouldn't it be a monster house if that were the case?
"I didn't come here." Xuanyuan Yue smiled and said, "Correctly speaking, it should have drifted over." ”
"Drifted here? This is not a ship! "It can't be some kind of sea out there, right?
"Not on water, but on the asthenosphere at the top of the mantle." Xuanyuan Yue said.
"Are you kidding? Even the thinnest part of the earth's crust, thousands of meters above the mantle, how can it be dug so deep? "Not to mention more than 3,000 years ago, even now it may not be possible!
"I'm not kidding, the clay slab says the building is drifting underground." Xuanyuan Yue maintained his calm steps, and chased after him regardless of the hot steam behind him.
"The only thing that can flow underground is the asthenosphere at the top of the mantle that produces magma, so this wonderful structure can only move above the mantle." She asked.
"Hey, Spike always remembers something that is very unpopular." "Although the clay tablets don't say how the buildings were brought underground—perhaps the people who wrote them didn't figure it out in the first place." But as a result, the building has been hovering underground with the mystery of the female pharaoh. ”
"What happened to the mummy they found? Isn't that the female pharaoh herself? "The more I listened, the more surprised I became, and there was a building moving underground with an unknown appearance and function! Isn't this just like the "coffin" described in "Daintriam's Bookshelf" as the architect built with the magical knowledge of the fantasy book?
"The likelihood of not being is quite high." Xuanyuan Yue's tone was cold, "Maybe those who are just the corpses of the female pharaoh's funeral attendants are being used as smoke bombs to confuse those who are looking for the remains of the female pharaoh. ”
She didn't know how the building got underground, and of course she couldn't figure out how the so-called "tombs" and mummies they found got to the surface, but she couldn't believe that it was the technology of the ancient Egyptians more than 3,000 years ago. She wanted to ask the pharaoh if she had any impression of this, but the already visible Hatshetshepp became lighter like a watercolor washed by water. What's going on? Could it be that the female pharaoh has fulfilled her wish and is ready to become a Buddha and ascend to heaven?
"Either way, the entrances and exits to external links here are supposed to be made of spatial warps." Xuanyuan Yue said, "If you start digging from the surface, it is estimated that the building itself has not been excavated yet, and it has already drifted to other places." We just need to follow the instructions of these Fuxi characters, restart the entrance, and go back. ”
She didn't figure out what was going on here anyway, but as long as she could go back. It would be troublesome if she delayed too long, but she bought a train ticket to go home!
The scenery around them didn't change much no matter how long they walked, the only difference seemed to be the old words on the wall, what were these words written in? What are you saying that these clay boards shouldn't be discovered, what the hell is that guy Xuanyuan Yue selling?
"You're so quiet, aren't you afraid at all?" Xuanyuan Yue said suddenly.
"You are reliable, what am I afraid of?" She said with a smile.
Xuanyuan Yue raised his eyebrows disappreciatively, "If this is your sincere words, I'm very happy." ”
She laughed dryly twice, and what she said just now was not a lie. "Then again, how on earth are we going to open some exit to get out?" They were "transformed" in just now, right?
"Just go and restart the mechanism." Xuanyuan Yue patted him on the shoulder and said.
The question is, where is the mechanism? She hung her shoulders and sighed.
"Don't sigh, you'll find it right away." Xuanyuan Yue's smile was full of confidence, "According to the Fuxi text instructions on this wall, there is a mechanism in front that can activate the connection to the outside. ”
"Mechanism...... What happens when that mechanism is opened? "She was curious.
Xuanyuan Yue smiled faintly, "It should be a device that can activate the power to distort space—an incredible mechanism built by people more than three thousand years ago. ”
Really? "Where does this power come from?" She snorted.
"Aren't there a lot of them outside this building?" Xuanyuan Yue asked with a smile.
