Chapter 238: Ancient Elevator
Chen Jinting thought so in his heart, and then shifted his attention to the sarcophagus that fell with Lao Suo.
The sarcophagus fell to the ground, and Chen Jinting figured out what Lao Suo was looking like in the coffin just now.
It turns out that in the sarcophagus, there is a wheel similar to the one next to a rural well, but this wheel is made of bronze.
The bronze chains on both sides of the sarcophagus are wrapped around the bronze wheel.
There is also a bronze crank on the bronze wheel, and the bronze wheel and the bronze crank can still be rotated, and after shaking the crank, the wheel can be rotated to lift the huge sarcophagus.
"My good man" Chen Jinting couldn't help but let out an exclamation after he understood it.
"This is the elevator!"
Chen Jinting is a bit exaggerated, after all, the elevator still needs electricity, and the elevator in front of him needs to be operated manually.
However, Rao was like this, and several people were also amazed.
This huge sarcophagus and bronze chain, as well as the bronze wheel and crank, look like an antiquity from thousands of years ago.
Not to mention that they can still work at this time, just a thousand years ago to have this kind of idea has already surprised several people.
"Could this thing be a replica?" Zhang Fei touched the bronze wheel with his hand and muttered to the side, although he himself knew that no one would be bored to imitate these giant things in this place where birds don't.
"Such a large sarcophagus, I'm afraid it weighs at least a thousand catties, and there are many directional pulleys connected to the other end of the bronze chain, did you have this technique before?"
Zhang Fei asked hesitantly, in his opinion, the elevator from a thousand years ago was really a bit incredible.
Chen Jinting didn't bother to teach him a lesson at this time, he had taught everything he should have taught, so he blamed this kid for not studying hard.
Therefore, after hearing Zhang Fei's inquiry, Chen Jinting did not answer him, but carefully studied the lifting sarcophagus.
Gong Ping replied on the side.
"The technique of pulley appeared as early as the Warring States period. In ancient times, it was called a pulley. It is said that a small copper pulley was found on the ruins of Qin Afang Palace, which was used on the sliding door. Therefore, it is entirely possible to lift the sarcophagus with this directional pulley. ”
"What's up there?" Chen Jinting studied the sarcophagus and asked Lao Suo.
"I don't know the road, I climbed halfway up and saw this sarcophagus, so I came down, I didn't climb up again, and I don't know how high the rock wall is. I can't see the head at all. ”
After hearing Lao Suo's answer, Chen Jinting fell into contemplation again, there is such a lifting sarcophagus erected on the rock wall, it will definitely not be done by the ancients to enjoy the scenery, the only scenery in this canyon is these endless dense fog, there is really nothing to see.
So there must be another purpose for erecting such an elevator here.
Don't
Thinking of this, the previous thought rose in Chen Jinting's heart again.
Imperial Tomb!
Could it be that this elevator leads to the imperial tomb he imagined? The entrance to the Emperor's Mausoleum is on this foggy rock face?
Chen Jinting looked up at Lu again, but it was still the same, he couldn't see through the dense fog whether there was really an entrance to the emperor's tomb on the rock wall.
"Team Chen. Let's go! Lao Suo saw Chen Jinting looking up at Lu, and knew what Chen Jinting was thinking about in his heart, and similarly, Lao Suo also thought that the top of the rock wall was the entrance to the emperor's mausoleum.
In fact, if it weren't for the fear that Chen Jinting and them were worried, Lao Suo would have already shaken the sarcophagus and continued to go up.
After all, the allure of an unknown imperial tomb is too great for those of them who are engaged in archaeology, and an archaeologist has been waiting for such an opportunity to make a name for himself all his life.
After hearing what Lao Suo said, Chen Jinting did not answer, but turned his head to look at Gong Ping, who was holding Yao Lina on the side.
Gong Ping also stared at Chen Jinting, the expression on her face was very indifferent, and she felt a little like a husband and a wife who went with you, and I would go with you.
Chen Jinting's heart was hot, and he didn't hesitate any longer, and waved his hand.
"Yes, I want to see if there is really an emperor living in this fairyland."
The rock wall is shrouded in thick fog, and Chen Jinting's metaphor of this fairyland is also appropriate, but this fairyland always gives people a sense of yin and evil
Everyone climbed into the sarcophagus one after another, and the bronze chains and bronze wheels that controlled the rise and fall of the sarcophagus were very strong.
Although there is some rust on it, but it does not affect the rise and fall of the sarcophagus, after everyone went up to stand firm, Lao Suo slowly shook the crank, from the bronze wheel after a few "creaking" sounds, the sarcophagus slowly rose towards the dense fog above.
The sarcophagus gradually sank into the thick fog, and except for the rock wall near the side of the sarcophagus, the surrounding things were completely invisible.
As the sarcophagus rose higher and higher, everyone also felt the cold taste of the high place at this time, and they didn't feel it when they were below, but the higher they went up, the more intense the cold wind in the canyon became.
Lao Suo had already put on his padded jacket and put on gloves, Rao was like this, at this time he was also shaking the rocking handle, while snorting his nose, but he thought that during the climbing just now, he was also choked by the cold.
Seeing Yao Lina trembling by the wind, Chen Jinting simply asked Gong Ping and Yao Lina to squat on the side of the sarcophagus, don't stand up, lest they be blown by the strong wind from a high place.
"Lao Suo, is there anything special about the place where you found this sarcophagus just now?"
Chen Jinting glanced at his watch, nearly ten minutes had passed, and the speed at which the sarcophagus rose should be much faster than the speed at which Lao Suo climbed, and I don't know if it was the location where Lao Suo found the sarcophagus elevator for such a long time.
Lao Suo did not climb on Xiang Lu after discovering the sarcophagus, so Xiang Shang from the place where Lao Suo found the sarcophagus is the place that should be searched for.
"This," replied Old Thorson, after a pause.
"The top of the rock wall looks the same, if you want to say something special, I remember that there seems to be a big raised stone on the rock wall, by the way, when I shook the sarcophagus down just now, I was knocked by that stone."
As soon as Lao Suo's words fell, Chen Jinting saw a raised stone appear one meter away from his upper left, the stone protruded from the rock wall for nearly half a meter, and the sarcophagus was only a few dozen centimeters away from the rock wall
"Be careful!" Seeing the protruding stone, Chen Jinting hurriedly reminded him, but he was still a step too slow.
Lao Suo, who manipulated the sarcophagus to Xiang Lu, did not see the protruding stone, and while Chen Jinting was speaking, the sarcophagus rising to Xiang Lu hit the protruding stone squarely.
Several people were defenseless, and after the sarcophagus hit the stone, everyone was stumbling
