Chapter 244: Gypsum Theory
In another place under the Sun Tomb, in a corner of the space on the same negative floor, the sarcophagus had just been opened by Zhu Beichen and Zhang Chu together, and a chill rushed into the hearts of the two.
Zhu Beichen could see that although these two people claimed to be from the underground, and the Sun Tomb was their home, it was obvious that there were still many unknowns here that they didn't know, otherwise Zhang Chu wouldn't have this kind of expression.
The distance between the two and Mr. W is about fifteen meters.
Zhu Beichen opened his mouth in shock and looked at Mr. W, who also happened to come over at this time and cast his gaze on the bottom of the sarcophagus. Shaking his head as usual, lying inside the coffin was a sculpture, with a full silhouette of life-size proportions, full limbs, and a vividly depicted facial expression.
It seems that it should be a woman, and the outer layer of the stone is a layer of milky white monoclinic minerals, perhaps it is easier to understand the gypsum for short.
Zhu Beichen had the courage to put his hand on it, stroking the woman's cheek, the touch was cold and stiff, and after a while, his hands were stained with a layer of white powder.
When I hit it hard, I found that the sound inside the plaster was dull, and the material of the filling was supposed to be stone, but I couldn't explain why such a work of art was placed in the sarcophagus.
In ancient times, there was a saying that there were burials such as the clothes and crowns of the deceased, but there were no burials with the remains of the deceased.
This is because the body of the deceased cannot be found, or has been buried in another place, and a memorial grave is erected in this place.
There is a very important type of clothing mound found today, that is, the shengji, which is not built after death, but in order to pray for oneself to eliminate disasters and pray for oneself when he is alive, and bury the clothes and hair of the living, etc., the shengji culture has a history of more than 4,000 years in China.
Of course, in ancient Western culture, there was another funeral custom.
It is to coat the outer layer of the deceased's body with a special coating, seal it with building materials, and bury it with the coffin.
Therefore, Zhu Beichen wondered if this plaster figure was loaded with a soulless body. In her time, was there a secret way to preserve the body of a human after death, and then resurrect it on a specific day?
After a moment of observation, Zhu Beichen was still thinking, and Mr. W said slowly: "The gypsum burial method is not actually a funeral culture, but a treatment method in ancient times, do you know what are the main aspects of calcium sulfate in clinical application?" ”
Is there a clinical role? Zhu Beichen never thought about the role of gypsum in medicine, but Mr. W's words obviously made him excited, and he said as calmly as possible: "Gypsum is a widely used industrial material and building material, which can be used for cement retarder, gypsum building products, model making, medical food additives, sulfuric acid production, paper fillers, paint fillers, etc., and is not clinically only used for limb fixation?" ”
Mr. W said: "If you think about it, the ancients were far more sophisticated in their exploration of the ways and principles of gypsum than we are. ”
Zhu Beichen searched hard in his memory over and over again, shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't hold so many things in my head, and I'm not a medical expert, if you want to say it, just say it, anyway, the one lying inside has no blood relationship with me." ”
"Yes." Zhang Chu interrupted the conversation between the two, summed up the following sentence and told Zhu Beichen: "Gypsum has a medicinal cold, good at clearing qi and separating real heat, so it is suitable for the symptoms of lung and stomach real heat, and it is often used with Zhimu to enhance the effect of clearing heat." ”
Mr. W nodded, with a positive attitude towards Zhang Chu's words, and said: "Inside the sarcophagus is a corpse sealed with plaster, and the coffin lid is sealed, because this is a medical method, we have learned too much advanced technology and culture and medical methods under this sun tomb, this is just one of them." ”
The owner of the sarcophagus suffered from fever before his death, the blood and gas of the whole body were boiling, the temperature remained high, and the stomach fire was vigorous, resulting in hot blood, which was the phenomenon of two burns of qi and blood. In clinical encounters with this syndrome, gypsum with strong heat and fire is commonly used, and drugs such as Xuanshen, Danpi, Red Peony, Xianshengdi, and Banlan Root are commonly used.
Mr. W continued to explain in a low voice: "This is the modern way of treating the symptoms of hyperthermia, but the method used by the Gulop Nur people is even more terrifying, they inject a large amount of liquid plaster in the limbs and organs of the warm patients and the head and brain in a special way to relieve the symptoms of hyperthermia. ”
Zhu Beichen was dumbfounded, wouldn't this directly kill people?
Mr. W said lightly: "The ancients naturally had their principles and means of curing diseases, and some secret methods with medicines must be unknown to us, and I have found more than one place in this form of treatment sarcophagus, and the treatment of this therapy is a long process." Of course, this is just a guess on my part, maybe not a treatment, but a production. ”
"Production? What do you mean by that? Zhu Beichen was shocked and asked uneasily.
"The structure of this Sun Tomb is completely unimaginable, and there are often unthinkable events happening in front of us, one of the most bizarre is the moving room, which moves irregularly, and the first sarcophagus was pushed to us during the movement two months ago. We had a heated discussion around this type of funeral at the time. Soon after, however, the room disappeared along with the sarcophagus, perhaps moving to another location. "And the so-called production, that's another guess for us, combined with our hundreds of years of research, in fact, we are also exploring this kind of production." ”
Zhu Beichen quickly moved his steps away and glanced at the sarcophagus vigilantly, his eyes full of uneasiness. Said: "You call this method production, is it a creative invention?" Subject is a human? ”
Paranoid scientists are often terrifying, they have a lot of unrealistic thoughts in the middle of arrogance, even terrifying. Zhu Beichen really couldn't think of what this scientist wanted to do when the word "production" was used for human beings.
Mr. W smiled reluctantly, as if to blame Zhu Beichen for his fuss: "Maybe this is a kind of research of the ancient Lop Nur people based on pharmacology and biology, I dare to guarantee that it is a perfect corpse under the plaster, and even under this superb biological resurrection technology, he should come back to life." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a "crackling" popping sound in the sarcophagus, at first it was a sporadic sound, but then the sound gradually attracted the attention of the three people, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and even the face of Mr. W, who was talking about a great scientific idea, changed color.
Is it going to be resurrected?
