Chapter 572: The True Tower of Babel

As he spoke, Dongfang Chen jumped up and descended down the tunnel to the ground, ignoring the fact that he almost fell headlong into the dirt, and crawled towards the deep passage on the side.

Ten minutes later, he pressed his hands on a stone wall, almost lying on the ground, and his heart could not be calmed for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Dongfang Chen said softly: "Prepare to open it." Let's take a look at the environment inside. ”

Then he stepped back a little, gave up his position, and a few probes immediately stepped forward to work. A small aperture is first melted with a laser, and then a needle-like probe is extended and slowly pushed in.

Moments later, the hand shovel sounded the alarm: "Report to the owner, a high concentration of radiation has been detected, further analysis is underway!"

What is the radioactive environment?

It's impossible!

This was Dongfang Chen's first reaction after hearing the news.

How could ancient humans 3,000 years ago create a radioactive environment?

"Hand shovel, contact Hamad and ask them to activate the radiation protection plan.

Let your probe open an opening in this wall for the master to enter. ”

Dongfang Chen thought for a moment and then gave the order.

After receiving the order, the intelligent assistant will do it one by one.

Everything is ready to go. Dongfang Chen adjusted the combat suit to adaptive mode, then prepared all the helmet masks, stretched his body, and drilled into the hole as lightly as a cat.

Judging from the information fed back from the detector of the combat suit, the space inside is very large, the area is comparable to a football field, and the height to the top is also five or six meters.

It was pitch black, cold to the bone, and night vision infrared was useless, Dongfang Chen was impatient, and opened his mouth to shout: "Come in some probes, light up this place for me." ”

After a while, light sources lit up everywhere, illuminating the space a lot. But even if the light shines, the area is only as large as a basketball court.

The first thing that came into view was a shallow rectangular crater not far in front of him. He was immediately interested, and in a few moments he came to the shallow pit.

The shallow pit is only about 20 square meters in size, about half a meter deep, and inside is a layer of fine sand in the shape of waves, which is dry and hard. There are some miscellaneous objects mixed with some places in some places, and it is not clear that the black is dark.

Dongfang Chen circled around the shallow pit a few times before he understood, this shallow pit should be a square pool. After so many years, there is no water in the pool, only yellow sand.

Finding nothing more valuable, he ignored the pool and began to search around. Soon, he discovered that there were many stone pillars that were more than a meter thick. This is supposed to be the support of the underground buildings here, without these stone pillars, how could the Tower of Babel be built above?

On the surface of a stone pillar, Dongfang Chen gained something, and he actually saw words and patterns.

The text is an old face: cuneiform, but the pattern is not ordinary, exactly the same as the surface pattern of the stoneware plate excavated from the ruins of the ancient city of Biro.

See Haven again, and it's the same word, the same meaning: light.

For this discovery, Dongfang Chen's whole body trembled.

Finally, after working hard for so long, I saw the real thing, at least the direction was correct.

Dongfang Chen then walked deeper, walking past one stone pillar after another, all of which were carved with Haiwen representing light.

By observing, he found that the arrangement of the stone pillars was typical of the altar pattern, which indicated the end of the path beneath his feet, and perhaps the most important part of the chamber.

And his combat uniform is also a reminder that the deeper you go along this road, the higher the concentration of radiation.

Could it be that the ancient Babylonians worshipped a piece of radioactive metal?

If this is true, it will hell that those princes, nobles, and wizards can live a long life.

But even if this is true, what does a piece of radioactive elemental material have to do with the "light" that emanates from Atlantis?

With all kinds of doubts, Dongfang Chen finally came to the end of the road between the two rows of stone pillars: a platform similar to an altar.

At a glance, he was stunned, and he took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground.

"Hehe, I finally know what's going on with the Heavenly Tower.

Tower of Babel...... Lighthouse...... Light......

Hehe, it turned out to be like this......"

Dongfang Chen seemed to cry and laugh, muttering to himself.

The current situation is a bit mysterious, and Dongfang Chen can't figure out whether he is currently in a dream.

Perhaps, from the moment he got into that tunnel, into the swarthy hole that led to here, he was already disconnected from reality.

With Dongfang Chen's knowledge and language, the things in front of him couldn't be described.

If you have to say it, to be vulgar, it is most appropriate to use an oversized "spring" as a metaphor for what is in front of you.

Countless polyhedral components, which cannot be judged to be made of what material, are densely arranged in a single direction, following a specific trajectory, slowly moving in one direction.

And this specific arrangement of the trajectory is a spiral like a spring or a thread.

The entire spiral structure has a diameter of about half a meter, and the length is comparable to one meter and a half by visual inspection, and the number of circles of the spiral is roughly more than 100. It was suspended more than a meter above the ground, quietly moving in rhythm with itself, while at the same time rolling and spinning softly, emitting a psychedelic halo, as if the earth's gravity did not exist on it.

If there is no object next to it as a reference, this thing is like a helpless jellyfish in the deep sea, giving people an ethereal and strange feeling of floating alone in nothingness.

Dongfang Chen swallowed his saliva, took a step, and approached it to observe carefully.

At first glance, it was found that the reason why this thing formed a spiral shape was because there was still a small gap between each two or two polyhedra, but it was staggered by a certain height and arc. In other words, the polyhedron in front of it is always a little higher in relative space than the polyhedron in the back, and at the same time bends a little towards the axis of the spiral.

All polyhedra are doing a free rotation very slowly and are independent of each other. Dongfang Chen was surprised to find that no polyhedron was exactly the same, and no polyhedron had the same spin trajectory.

Looking at the peculiar and mysterious structure in front of him, the spiral form, and the step-by-step arrangement of unit polyhedra, Dongfang Chen couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a ladder!"

The Tower of Babel, built by the ancient Babylonians, is to be modeled after this.

It turned out that I was wrong and misled by the parchment scroll. The ancient scrolls say that Babylon built the Tower of Babel and made a sand table model in advance.

It's really a big fallacy, the so-called model is not the thing in front of you at all, it is the main one. The Tower of Babel in Babylon is its model!

The ancient Babylonians occasionally found this artifact somewhere, and were attracted by its fantastic spatial structure and the magic that can float in the air, which aroused fanatical worship, so they wanted to imitate it and build a physical object that mortals could understand and touch and feel.

This is the true face of the Tower of Babel in Babylon!"
