Calculating the corresponding position up and down, the place where we fell down was more than 100 meters away from the center of the stone chamber, and the huge stone pillars with a diameter of two or three meters around the dense layers supporting the weight above were bypassed, and the side silently whispered to me: "In addition to the rotation and displacement, the flap trap that we fell down shows that this mechanism is very complicated, but I don't know where the power of these mechanisms is......"

The faint sound of water in front interrupted the silence, and the first Gao Tong walked a few steps with a surprised face, turned the last stone pillar that blocked his vision, and his body was stunned, staring at the front motionlessly, "It's incredible......"

Following a few steps to Gao Tong's side, the sound of water gradually sounded, and the surprise of the moment made everyone dumbfounded one after another, one after another staggered bronze chains, gear-like structures that bite each other, and metal discs the size of grinding discs that are slowly turning...... Staggered into a large and complex mechanical device, with a slightly rusty bronze color in the light, it occupies the center of the entire fifty or sixty square meters, leaving only a few narrow passages that allow people to get into it sideways or crouching.

My mind wandered for a moment, time seemed to have shifted to what era, and then it was full of questions, which ancient people were so awesome?

Professor Zhang's lips trembled slightly, and he was so excited that he even changed his voice, "This is a complete set of mechanical transmission systems, similar to the internal structure of a clock. Over the years, all the bronze components have almost no rust and no excessive wear, indicating that the bronze alloy technology mastered by people at that time was very developed. ”

Approaching the front, the sound of water coming out of a deep ditch came out louder and louder, and he silently pointed to the huge wheel that was half stuck in the deep ditch and the other half was exposed and constantly spinning, and exclaimed: "The water pushes the wheel like a waterwheel, and the spring and other devices inside the guò store energy and then release it, so this is how the power comes from." It's like the movement of a large clock. ”

After everyone sighed, Chen Xu looked at Professor Zhang in ignorance, "These are also Hongshan cultures?" ”

Everyone was silent, Gao Tong stepped on a few fixed bronze chains under his feet, held his hands steady, and cautiously climbed to a chain collection close to the center of the hub, then jumped down, and shouted softly after a while, "Professor Zhang, come and take a look." ”

Professor Zhang suspiciously drilled into it from the other direction, and saw two people pointing inside, and everyone was also curious, one after another squeezed into Gao Tong's location. Standing firmly, I looked around, in addition to the intricate transmission system around me, three arm-thick bronze chains were vertically connected from the top of the head to a disc with a diameter of half a meter next to the feet, and it was wrapped around a few turns, which looked very abrupt, and I didn't know what it was for. Chen Xu touched the bronze disc a few times with his hands and feet, and Gao Tong's face changed slightly, "Don't turn it." The self-destructing anti-theft mechanism that was more common in early tombs was often triggered by tomb thieves inadvertently, and there may be one here. ”

Professor Zhang's gaze slowly moved upwards along the direction of the three bronze chains, looked back and forth for a long time, pointed to an unusually thick chain diagonally above, and said to himself: "It's all the way there." According to the principle of the mechanism, if the bronze chain is pulled, it will cause a series of reactions from the mechanism, and the device seems to be independent of the eight displacement mechanisms. As he spoke, he turned his head to Gao Tong, "Twisting the disc below is very likely to trigger another drivetrain, and it's hard to say what the consequences will be, I suspect it is a self-destruct device now." ”

Although I don't understand archaeology, I also know what Gao Tong means when he says the self-destruction device of the ancient tomb, some cleverly designed large tombs, usually contain a trap of fish and death nets, once activated, the coffin of the tomb owner and important burial goods would rather be completely destroyed, than allow outsiders to desecrate, pull the tomb robbers and jade to burn together for the burial. In addition to hiding people's eyes and ears on the ground, tomb robbers also have to wrestle with the ancients many years ago underground, and they are really making a living with the blood of the knife.

The big head squatted next to the bronze disc, and suddenly pointed with his hand, "Come and see, there is that pattern engraved on it......"

Shocked from the bottom of my heart, I squatted on the ground and looked carefully, the center of the disc was really shallow relief of geometric figures to put together the pattern, my heart seemed to be hit hard by a hammer, a butt sat on the ground, my mind seemed to think of something and couldn't grasp it, the kind of familiarity that the pattern brought to me was both clear and vague, obviously where I had seen it, and the impression was also very deep, but I couldn't recall it. I vaguely felt that if I remembered where that pattern first appeared, I would be able to solve the mystery.

The impact brought to me by the sudden appearance of these patterns became more and more intense each time, and my heart almost collapsed for a while, and the more I thought about it, the more my mind went blank. Gao Tong leaned over to glance at the disc, then sighed heavily and began to study every detail of the massive mechanism.

From the time we fell to the huge organ room on the lower floor, two hours had passed in a hurry, Gao Tong seemed to be waiting for the moment of the handover of the hour, with a "squeak" sound, a half-meter-sized bronze gear in the center took the lead in starting a heavy and slow rotation, the speed gradually accelerated, the bronze chain was also brought up from thin and thick, the sound of "bang-la-la" was endless, and the sound became smaller after a minute or two, although it was possible to imagine the changes brought about by this huge mechanical device once it was started, Seeing it with your own eyes still shocked everyone.

The surroundings gradually became calm. Professor Zhang and Mo Mo pointed to the gear that moved first almost at the same time, and said silently: "Jam this most critical bronze gear, and the mechanism will stop." ”

"We can't go up if the mechanism stops," Chen Xu was a little deflated, raised his head and looked at the top of his head, "The two of them stacked Arhats...... I'm afraid I can't reach it. ”

Gao Tong looked left and right, "Within a few minutes of the mechanism being activated, the flap that knocked us off will be opened at the same time. Let's look around, there should be more than one flap, maybe we can find other places to go up, and then find a way to get stuck in the whole mechanism. ”

The time is getting late, everyone is tired for a day, one by one is exhausted, this organ room has a diameter of more than 200 meters, the size is fatal, and it is densely covered with supporting stone pillars of different thicknesses, and you can't see anything clearly until you get closer. After more than an hour, no one had the strength, and the only thing I found was that there was a flap device in the hinged part of the eight passages above, but it was the same as the one that threw us down, and everyone racked their brains and couldn't figure out how to climb back.
