Chapter 46: The Trap (Updated March 29, 2014)
"Hey, there's also Wang Ba. The fat man was happy, "This is even more compensatory, what do you think is wrong with God putting the three of us men here to replenish our kidneys?"
"Not really a turtle. "Short Feng said, I went up to look at it, and found that it was something that should be called an ornament.
This thing may have some practical effect, or it may be just an ornament, and you can't see why it came from just looking at it.
I took it and looked at it, and I felt that the carving had not yet been completed, but I already knew that this was not a turtle, but a kind of sacred beast ornament in the Han land. The carving is quite delicate, and it is clear that the person who carved the turtle was a very skilled craftsman, but the carving technique was very unbridled and free, and it was obviously not a work, but more like an act of artistic creation or playing with time.
"This is the stuff of Han craftsmen. I glanced at the dwarf Feng, he nodded, and I remembered that the jars I had just seen were also made in Chinese.
The state of this place is not like the state of the local people, and all the details are obviously very similar to the Central Plains. Including the patterns on the bronze door outside and the custom of fighting corpses.
I left the turtle and was picked up by the fat man, and maybe it would be worth some money, so I walked quickly inside.
Walking in more than ten meters, there are steps down, and this time the water does not reach the waist, and the fire light of the fire fold begins to dim again. The fat man and I twisted one of the rings on it to make the flame smaller. It was dark, but the fire lasted longer.
As I continued to move forward, I saw a huge shadow at the bottom of the water, and at first I thought it was a stone, but for a moment I turned on the fire fold, and I saw that under the water was a rotten purple bronze plate.
Layered on top of each other, the rust is completely purple.
"The bronze door was also made here?" I climbed onto a bronze plate, my knees were exposed to the water, and I took out all the few remaining fire folds, polished them, and immediately saw that this part of the stone chamber was piled up with a large amount of bronze material. At the same time, I also saw some of the bigger shadows underwater.
Those are giant smelting equipment.
"Copper is sourced locally, and the rocks here contain a lot of copper ore, and maybe tin ore, and they smelt the bronze on the spot and mold it into these bronze plates. I blew out some of the waste and continued, "So the bronze door we saw earlier is hollow. There's a very complex mechanical deconstruction support inside. ”
I studied architecture, and I recall all the details I saw before, the bronze gate I saw at the bottom of Changbai Mountain, so ancient and so large that it could not support its own weight with a hollow frame. According to physical logic, it is impossible for that bronze door to be opened in reality. And it's much more detailed than the one I saw here that I blew up.
"The bronze door here is just a replica. I sighed: "It is a replica made by craftsmen of the Han nationality who processed it here on the spot and made it very finely using the craftsmanship of the time." Here they simulated the construction of the bronze door. ”
"There's something wrong with them, they have nothing to do with this, and this black winter place doesn't have a face. ”
"It's a trap. "I said quietly, there are not many stone beds outside, and this bronze gate and the bronze cave inside should be built. I am afraid that it took a considerable amount of time, even beyond the limit of human lifespan to complete, and this kind of forbearance and perseverance, as well as the extremely long lifespan, can basically determine which family these craftsmen come from.
And they made a bronze door here that can basically be messed with, if this is a trap, then I probably have a few possibilities in mind to calculate who it is.
