Wouldn't such a huge piece of falling rock hit the floor and fall into the lower burial chambers?

The ceiling of the overhanging boulder and the floor that undertakes the boulder are neither strong enough for ordinary stone burial chambers to bear, and the only possibility is that this monolithic burial chamber is a huge stone cave dug out separately.

In other words, the original builders of the mausoleum dug a huge stone cave in the wall of the tomb shaft in order to house this boulder of unknown purpose.

Even to guess a little deeper, the main structure of this boulder is the rock that made up the cave in the first place.

Everyone returned with questions, especially Professor Huang, who was more interested in the sudden appearance of the boulder.

In the concept of archaeologists, for some meaningless objects that suddenly appear, they more represent a kind of cultural symbolism.

Or, some records and descriptions of the life of the tomb owner.

The boulder landed right in the center of the burial chamber, and the surrounding space was only one or two meters long, allowing only one person to pass alone.

Bai Ning took a turn in it and found that the surface of the boulder was smooth, as if it had been deliberately polished.

What can be the point of a boxy, mirror-smooth boulder?

Could it be that there is a mysterious entrance pressed under the boulder, and this entrance is the real entrance to the mausoleum?

After a round of inquiries to no avail, Bai Ning asked the personnel to set up steps and climb to the top of the stone to take a look.

It turned out to be nothing but a large alloy hook in the center.

The only surprise was that there were some recessed embellishments on the base of the metal hook, which looked like some kind of star icon based on the previous Blue Dragon Star Chart.

There is also only a broken bronze hook at the top of the burial chamber, which looks like it is of a different quality.

However, everyone knows that this boulder has been hanging quietly here for thousands of years, and even if it is made of bronze, its strength cannot be underestimated.

Bai Ning inspected the brand-new bronze fracture, as if it had suddenly collapsed under force.

While being shocked, Bai Ning thought of another possibility, that is, the quality of this bronze hook itself was not good, and the purpose was to break it instantly.

In other words, this boulder has been held up by something for thousands of years.

It wasn't until just now, when the thing that was holding it had settled, that the stone fell heavily to the ground.

Thinking about it a little more, this descending channel is likely to be the previous air duct.

The boulder pressed against the air duct, interrupting the circulation of cold air in the area, and the temperature in the outer tomb would gradually rise, eventually detonating the ancient virus in the iron arrow, causing all those who passed through to die of illness.

This boulder is equivalent to a corroboration of Bai Ning's previous overall conjecture.

"It seems that we are no longer qualified to dig down until the ventilation duct is reopened."

As soon as Bai Ning's words came out, Jiang Yingxue focused her gaze, making her instantly realize that what was pressed under this boulder was the wind tunnel that had disappeared before.

This boulder would be tricky without tools, but it wouldn't take much time for their current engineering capabilities.

But Bai Ning expressed this conclusion separately, which shows that in his opinion, this boulder may be more difficult than expected.

Looking at it as a whole, the smooth surface is very deliberate.

It stands to reason that even in order to ensure the airtightness of the blocking, as long as the bottom surface is chiseled and smoothed.

Smoothing other planes is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also affects handling.

"What, do you think there's anything wrong with this boulder?

Could it be that there is some special trap hidden within this boulder? ”

Jiang Yingxue really couldn't see through what secrets could be hidden in this boulder, so she could only ask this question, and by the way, she also glanced at Professor Huang, wanting to see what unique insights he had as an archaeological expert.

"Judging from the overall shape of this boulder, there is not the slightest peculiarity.

If there is anything special about it, it is only this smooth and mirror-like stone surface.

If the rock wants to be polished as smooth as a mirror, there are high requirements for the density of the rock, like the surface rock we are currently in, it is basically difficult to polish the mirror surface.

Especially if it's such a huge mirror, it's even more rare. ”

Professor Huang, who is also an expert in jade, exclaimed as if he were lamenting a huge piece of jade that has been carved naturally.

"Although this boulder was only used to suppress a wind tunnel, the fact that it can be carefully decorated speaks for itself.

According to the habits of the builders of this mausoleum, the chain is only one of the most basic trap designs.

If this wind tunnel can be opened so easily, it would be a bit too much to underestimate the builders of this mausoleum. ”

Bai Ning reconsidered the current issue from the perspective of the mausoleum builder, which immediately made the atmosphere in the venue tense.

Based on the previous tragic trap, as long as they take a wrong step, they will immediately end up dying on the spot.

With the sheer size of this boulder, not to mention the powerful bows and crossbows it contains, even if it is just a sudden disintegration, the falling rocks are enough to crush nearby personnel.

"Since it's so troublesome, and this stone room is a separate space, let's find a suitable angle to blow it up."

Jiang Yingxue quickly cut through the mess, and this is about to blow up this obstructive boulder.

"Theoretically, no.

This boulder was previously lifted by support columns, and the structure of these support columns is likely to completely block the air duct after the boulder is damaged.

At present, the best way is to dig holes.

Before we do, though, we need to take a good look at what looks like a huge whole. ”

Bai Ning's implication was that this boulder might be a huge complex, and it would look much more sophisticated than expected.

If the overall destruction is indiscriminate, once the delicate structure of the air duct below is completely broken, then they may really start digging the mountain at that time.

"Why, do you see any clues in these smooth planes?

Or do you think all the mechanism of this boulder is inside the giant alloy at the top?

There are some specks on it, but what does that mean?

It's not some keyholes. ”

Jiang Yingxue saw that Bai Ning wanted to outwit her, and she also had some questions about it.

Along the way, Bai Ning used brute force to dig the tomb road, why did he start to try to use ingenuity in front of this boulder?

"The metal disc at the top of the boulder may be the key to fitting the whole boulder together, but where to start with it is likely to only detonate the whole boulder.

As Professor Wong has previously said, the smooth mirror surface is only possessed by deep rocks, which means that the surface of the boulder is just a layer of rock crust.

As long as it is broken, the internal structure of the boulder can be clearly revealed. ”

Bai Ning's remarks are reasonable and well-founded, but in Jiang Yingxue's ears, they still lack enforceability.

Not to mention how difficult it is to break the outer crust, once the mechanism inside the crust is triggered in this way, then the person responsible for striking the rock will definitely die.

"Are you going to knock on this dangerous landmine shell?"

Going around and around, Bai Ning returned the topic to the original point, and Jiang Yingxue scratched a sentence without pain or itching.

"No, I don't.

The so-called thermal expansion and contraction, as long as a layer of gunpowder line is placed on the surface of the rock at minus 20 degrees, an obvious crack can appear in the rock crust with the help of the high temperature of gunpowder combustion.

As long as there are enough such cracks, the rock shell of this boulder will naturally disintegrate. ”

This is the reverse application of water and cracking of burning rocks, and it is also the best way to solve the current problem.

The burning of gunpowder will not produce a shock wave, and naturally it will not cause some cascading reactions, and even if there are really some strong bows and crossbows in it, the damage caused by that time will be limited.

Facing such a calm and calm Bai Ning, Jiang Yingxue also seemed a little speechless, was she deliberately leaving words?

However, she felt that Bai Ning would not be so boring, and guessing was more just a kind of urgency.

In other words, for the power in his hands, Bai Ning's means are much higher than everyone here.

"Let's get started."

Jiang Yingxue didn't say anything long-winded, and simply began to arrange for people to arrange the gunpowder line on the surface of the boulder.

In a short time, with the sharp sound of the electronic detonator, all those hiding in the upper chamber heard only the rapid burning of the powder rope and the crisp cracking sound that followed.

"Whoa."

With a final crunch, the crust that encased the boulder was gone.

There was no sound of a strong bow breaking through the air, no rattle of arrows hitting the rock wall, and no idea what was wrapped inside the rock shell.

After waiting for a while, there was no danger of any delay, and then someone was sent down to make an early investigation.

According to the footage transmitted from the camera, the inside of the boulder is a very delicate overall structure, and many mechanical structures are wrapped in the thick rock, so that people do not know their specific function for a while.

Bai Ning soon came to the boulder, and was even more puzzled by the huge mechanical structure in front of him.

As far as the mechanical structure of the surface layer is concerned, there are no particularly delicate parts, let alone any electronic devices, but it is much finer than some stupid black and thick mechanical structures encountered before.

The difference between the two is that the inside of this boulder is more like a sophisticated mechanical clock.

"What do you think this is for?

The presence of such a delicate structure inside a stone used to hold down the air duct is like carving on a ballast stone.

Also, these things don't seem to be functioning, so wouldn't a dead thing seem a little redundant here?

Or, perhaps, this thing is not yet ready to use it.

If we open the air duct, will it be activated and give us a hard blow? ”

Jiang Yingxue was also very shocked by the delicate structure inside the boulder, but she was more puzzled and puzzled.
