"Are you saying that the human race that currently exists in the Fifth Civilization is nothing more than a subspecies of humanity like the tiger-toothed leopard's tail?

So, what are the basic appearance characteristics of the mainstream human race of the Fourth Civilization? ”

Bai Ning's judgment made Jiang Yingxue can't help but recall some relevant information obtained in the sleep deprivation laboratory before, which also made some guesses about the legendary species of vampires.

If orcs like tiger-toothed leopard-tails are a special subspecies, then are the vampires, werewolves, elves, and goblins in Western myths and legends also real subspecies of humans?

Considering the various genetic organisms found in the Tunguska Gene Temple, since the Fourth Civilization was able to conduct genetic experiments on animals, then genetic human experiments must also exist.

Even if there are some ethical conventions on public order and good customs, there will only be a distinction between the mainstream and the last, and human genetic experiments will not be completely eradicated.

Creating human beings, whether in various myths and legends, or under the current technological system, is an extremely difficult thing.

The creation of a new kind of subhuman is bound to be a fatal attraction for some obsessive mad scientists.

"According to the myths and legends of the creation of man in the East and the West, at most, the human race of the Fourth Civilization can only be judged to be humanoid creatures with limbs.

Half-orcs and humans both belong to this list, can they take advantage of this similarity to pretend to be the Western Queen Mother clan? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Yingxue gave a suggestion to pretend to be a member of the West Queen Mother clan, and it didn't seem to be a difficult thing to put on a tiger tooth mask and add a leopard tail.

"What if the test on the side of the mausoleum requires a blood test, that is, a genetic test?"

Jiang Yingxue's suggestion may have a certain possibility, but Bai Ning obviously thought about it more comprehensively.

Thinking about it, it seems that it is not impossible for an existence with replication technology to do some gene-level matching verification.

Between the peaks and loops, everyone returned to the original point again.

"If the normal road doesn't work, then demolish it.

Anyway, it's just a shallow tomb, and if it can be built, we can tear it down into pieces. ”

Bai Ning's response made everyone present smile.

If it weren't for the fact that the impact was within a controllable range, everyone would have forcibly demolished this ancient tomb a long time ago, but it was just some stones, and in front of modern stone diggers, they were just like tofu.

Time passed in a hurry, and the follow-up convoys of equipment also arrived one after another, the equipment was very well prepared, the equipment in the extremely cold area was only the basic, and even equipped with heat insulation suits for volcanic exploration, pressure suits for shallow sea exploration.

It is no exaggeration to say that the equipment in this fleet can safely explore anywhere on the planet.

After the preparation, everyone concentrated in the central area of the stone forest again, and a large number of lifting equipment was quickly erected, and the efficiency of the work was greatly increased due to the increase in manpower.

More than an hour later, the first stone bar was hoisted again, and the fierce cold snap instantly erupted, making the nearby workers suddenly have a cleverness.

The personnel in charge of lifting the hoisted speed, and soon emptied all six stone strips, and in order to prevent the cold from escaping, the relevant personnel quickly set up a temperature-insulated tent at the entrance of the cave.

After a while, the temperature in the entire tent was as low as minus 10 degrees Celsius, and everyone wearing polar cold suits did not feel anything, but the white mist exhaled was very obstructive to their vision.

The bright searchlight shines deeper into the cavern, and the depth at which the light can enter is significantly increased, and there are no passages other than a large number of frost-clinged mechanical structures.

If you have to explore it further, there is room for one person to walk through, but it would be wishful thinking to carry more equipment.

"What to do, do you need to continue to open holes elsewhere?"

There is not even a downward tunnel, there is no room for heavy passage, which is actually no different from sending people to death.

"Let's go ahead and open holes."

Although Bai Ning really wanted to go down and find out, considering the integrity and danger of the mausoleum, he felt that he should continue to wait and see.

The order was given, and the group continued to open the hole with ease again.

Another stone bar was hoisted, and just as it was about to be transported to the side, an iron arrow suddenly shot out of the cavern and slammed it into the stone, causing a huge boom that shook people's ears.

Everyone has an established concept of the hardness of the stone bar, and the iron arrow can be directly nailed into, and its strength is so great that it is no longer the height that the ordinary bed crossbow can reach.

Moreover, what kind of elastic mechanical structure can still maintain such sufficient elasticity after thousands of years?

This couldn't help but remind Bai Ning of the bronze sword unearthed from the burial pit of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which had been bent for thousands of years, and could bounce back the moment the heavy object was removed.

"Go on, move the stone bar out of the way quickly."

Bai Ning shouted, startled that the operator hurriedly operated subconsciously.

In the next instant, a large number of iron arrows shot out of the underground cave like flying locusts, and the group of iron arrows cut a graceful arc, shattering all the stone pillars not far away.

Looking at such a strong arrow feather attack, most of the people gathered nearby were apprehensive.

If you don't move the stone bar, let's not talk about whether the stone bar will trigger any mechanism in the mausoleum again after it is broken, let's just say that the stone bar shook in the initial rain of arrows, and once some iron arrows change their flight trajectory through the smooth stone surface, everyone here will start a round of gambling games.

In order to figure out the mechanism inside the mausoleum, the bodyguards in charge of the relevant equipment began to send light sources and searchlight cameras into the mausoleum.

The results were also very terrifying, and I saw that it was densely covered with arrows, and the arrows that were shot separately before were probably only caused by mechanical failure.

"Go on."

Bai Ning waved his hand and motioned for everyone to start hoisting the stone bars.

Fortunately, the hoisting direction this time was directly translated to the side, and the rain of arrows had no effect except for stirring up some stone chips on the edge of the stone strips.

As the hoisting became more and more proficient, the arrows in the mausoleum were like a kind of decoration out of thin air, and they could not hurt anyone here except for smashing a large number of stone pillars.

This feeling is as if the structure of the frame in the mausoleum has deteriorated, so that the transmission structure of the frame has slowed down, and it is impossible to fire arrows at the moment when the stone bar is uncovered.

"Stop."

When six stone bars were hoisted in a row, and they needed to be rebuilt because of the installation angle of the equipment, Bai Ning directly stopped the process.

"What, did you find something wrong?"

Jiang Yingxue instinctively asked, looking a little puzzled by Bai Ning's overly cautious behavior.

Isn't it normal for the traps in the chamber to deteriorate, as the first batch of arrows was fired in two separate phases.

"The aging of the bracket may cause the mechanism to be activated lately, but it may also cause the mechanism to be activated early.

But nowadays, all arrows are all delayed firing, which is strange.

In addition, each wave of arrows fired can destroy a batch of stone pillars, which makes the meaning of the existence of these arrows even more complicated.

Although these stone pillars are the external structure of the mausoleum, and do not seem to have any connection with the organs inside the mausoleum, who can be sure that these stone pillars are really just ordinary stone pillars?

If you think about the icon duplication event that occurred earlier, it is clear that some of the stone pillars may be much more important than expected.

Let Professor Huang analyze it as a whole first.

Perhaps, these destroyed stone pillars are some very important stars in the Seven Nights of the Green Dragon, and they also represent some very important metaphors. ”

Bai Ning's guess made Jiang Yingxue unable to refute, if the destruction of the stone pillar really represented some variable, once the dense arrows under their feet came to a salvo, they didn't know what would become like here.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Professor Huang told you to stop the construction immediately."

As soon as the personnel sent out to look for it set off, Liu Cheng's familiar huge voice sounded up not far away, and it seemed that Professor Huang, who had studied iron arrows in the past, had also discovered something.

In this regard, Jiang Yingxue subconsciously glanced at Bai Ning, and once again expressed some expected appreciation for his keen sense of smell and cautious attitude.

After waiting for a while, Professor Huang, who was out of breath, quickly rushed over with Liu Cheng's support.

"Everyone, look at this iron arrow, its material is not ordinary wrought iron, but special steel mixed with rare metals."

After panting for a long time, Professor Huang was embarrassed to speak, and motioned to the bodyguards who followed him to hand the two iron arrows to Jiang Yingxue and Bai Ning respectively.

There was an iron arrow stuck in the first stone bar, and Professor Huang discovered this and went to the place where the arrow landed to study it.

If an iron arrow contains rare metals, this can be explained as a coincidence, but a large number of iron arrows are like industrial products made in the same furnace of steel, which is very telling.

Such a superb metal smelting technology is enough to show how powerful the Queen Mother of the West is in related technology.

This power is not only limited to smelting technology, but also includes mineral identification and mining technology.

Although this kind of thing is very common today, in ancient times thousands of years ago, it would inadvertently have a strong mythological color.

"The sword of King Goujian of Yue and the bronze sword unearthed in the terracotta warriors and horses pit of Qin Shi Huang are both masterpieces of sword casting masters, and the other is the assembly line product of the military industry of Qin.

The anti-oxidation technology possessed by these two, Yuewang Jian is copper sulfide technology, and Qin Jian is a chromium salt oxidation treatment method.

The chromium oxide treatment was lost until 1937.

In 1937, nearly 70 years had passed since the periodic table was proposed, and you can imagine the extent of the prosperity of chemistry.

Metal forging seems to be metallurgical and material science, but if you lack the necessary chemical knowledge, it is actually similar to the alchemy of ancient alchemists.

If you are lucky, you can come out with some secret recipes, and if you are unlucky, you can also toss out gunpowder and kill someone.

The bronze technology of the Warring States period was extremely developed, which may have been due to the accumulation of experience of the ancestors day after day, or it may have some ancient inheritance that makes people reverie. ”

These alloy iron arrows made Bai Ning once again think of the previous Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Qin Jian.

Although it has also gone through more than a thousand years from the appearance to the reproduction of bronzes, the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties have tended to their peak, and many bronzes are difficult to restore even with modern technology.

The near-suddenness of such a systematic technology, especially in a slave society with such low productivity, is hard not to reverie.
