Chapter 183 Stone Carving

"If the boulder is used to prevent the air ducts from being opened, then these delicate structures inside the boulder serve that purpose.

As a result, the base of the boulder is not made of crust, which further confirms your suspicion.

However, as far as I can see, this boulder mechanism is actually in the middle of operation, and it has only just been activated, so it is not yet visible. ”

Bai Ning denied Jiang Yingxue's hypothetical direction, and said that the boulder was already in a state of activation, which made the atmosphere in the field calm again.

Faced with the threat of an explosion at any time, not many people can put the danger aside like Bai Ning.

After listening, Jiang Yingxue put her palm on the rock, and then listened to it, but there was no abnormal sound, and I don't know if it was because the sound insulation effect of the leather gloves was too strong.

"It's a pity there are no stethoscopes."

Expressing a little regret about this, Jiang Yingxue sighed casually.

"It doesn't really matter if the boulder is really activated or not.

It is important to understand the root cause of the existence of this monolith, and the related mechanisms that correspond to it.

The boulder shields the air duct, which is the basic function of the boulder, and the delicate structure inside the boulder should be some more powerful backhand.

As is normal, we do not pay much attention to this monolith and try to continue excavating the mausoleum from other directions.

As long as we move fast enough, we may not be able to wait for the virus to spread at the right temperature.

In this way, the role of this boulder is completely lost.

Even because of its function of blocking the air duct, we can work in a better environment and further speed up the work progress. ”

Bai Ning analyzed the situation in the field from a realistic perspective, and from such an angle, this boulder seemed meaningless, and even a bit of a snake.

"What you're saying is that if you want to have the necessary effect, you have to make a connection with some of the previous actions.

The most lacking thing in the previous outbreak of the virus in the Iron Arrow was the temperature conditions, and if the mechanism in this boulder could accelerate the temperature rise in the tomb, it would be a lore kill.

Even at the right temperature, the boulder can be sprayed with additional viruses, greatly increasing the probability of death for those here. ”

Jiang Yingxue gave her own opinion according to Bai Ning's prompt.

"Quite possibly.

One of the most important is the determination of the virus region.

You know, some people don't care about this boulder, and some people will want to destroy this boulder and expose the air duct underneath.

Whether it's just in case or to spray additional virus after heating, adding a virus chamber to it is necessary.

Therefore, what stands in front of us is actually a twofold dangerous choice:

If you don't destroy the boulder, the temperature here will rise rapidly, and if you destroy it, you will accidentally release the virus inside. ”

The core point pointed out by Bai Ning can be described as a dilemma, which is very much in line with the consistent style of the designer of this mausoleum.

It is precisely because of this tangled attribute that Bai Ning will be more convinced that it is this possibility.

"It seems that although the boulder has been stripped of its coat, it is still a difficult hedgehog."

Looking at the huge threat in front of her, which was slowly activating, Jiang Yingxue also felt a little tricky.

Bombing and not being able to blow up, and dismantling and not knowing where to start, it seems that it can only be allowed to develop and become a hidden danger here.

"Make a few jacks and slowly lift this boulder, maybe cold air will continue to blow in.

At that time, even if the boulder is hot, it may not be able to fight against the cold snap blowing in. ”

Liu Cheng, who was watching the play on the sidelines, also actively participated, and his suggestions did sound effective at first glance.

"If you have a preset balancer in the middle of the stone, prying it at will will only lead to unpredictable consequences."

With such a complex mechanism complex, it is impossible not to even have some simple anti-dismantling functions, Jiang Yingxue didn't want to think about it, and directly rejected Liu Cheng's proposal.

"Then build a movable pulley hoisting device here and lift it slowly and smoothly, wouldn't it be the same?"

If the jack is not good, then there is only one way left to go horizontally, and Liu Cheng has reached the edge of word exhaustion.

"These stone parts are a whole when they are placed on the ground, do you think they can still form a whole when they are hoisted as a whole?"

Jiang Yingxue retorted again, denying this content that had already been secretly denied a long time ago.

"What's going on?

Do you want to disassemble part by part? ”

Liu Cheng was already a little speechless, and he was a little unclear about what these bosses were planning.

After a long discussion, and without trying it, can we just wait for this boulder to disappear automatically?

"Yes.

It is possible to disassemble only one part at a time.

If you make a wrong step in the middle of the process, you may detonate some of the preset mechanisms. ”

I didn't expect Bai Ning to respond to his casual nonsense, but Liu Cheng looked even more confused, there was no design drawing, how to dismantle this big bump?

If you're not careful, you'll trigger the corresponding mechanism.,What about playing minesweeper here?

Because he didn't know how to continue answering, Liu Cheng could only choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb and continue to be a dispensable bystander.

"Professor Huang, you should already see some ways about the internal structure of this boulder, right?"

Bai Ning turned his words and looked at Professor Huang, who didn't know how many times he had circled around the boulder, as if he wanted to get some hints of decryption from him.

According to the previous overall speculation, this mausoleum is an ancient tomb of inheritance nature, so if the trialist accidentally touches this mechanism, the designer of the mausoleum must also leave a glimmer of life for it.

This line of vitality lies in the essential difference between the inheritor and the tomb robber, that is, some key information related to the core cultural inheritance of the Western Queen Mother clan.

This kind of core cultural inheritance may be the secret history of the clan, or it may be some kind of forbidden knowledge that has been passed down in a single line.

Of course, the core burial chamber has not yet been seen, not even the ice storage area, and even the small mechanism in this shallow burial chamber may not be able to use such a core secret to decipher.

It depends on whether Professor Huang, an archaeological expert, can find these possible clues from the chaotic historical legacy.

Professor Huang, who had been looking at the boulder for a long time, did not immediately respond to Bai Ning, as if he was in a critical stage of research at this time.

In this regard, Bai Ning is not in a hurry, he still has basic patience.

For a long time, it was as if he had been detached from a hearty enjoyment, with a little unfinished satisfaction.

Among the relevant historical documents, there are countless records of the Western Queen Mother clan, but only books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" are more in line with common sense.

As for other related ancient books, such as "Naturalist Records" and "The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", they have basically deified the Queen Mother of the West.

But the reason why myths and legends are myths and legends must have their dominant reasons, that is, the primitive driving force that people desire as the driving force for their propagation.

Whether it is the Queen Mother of the West sending Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a peach, or the descendants seeking the elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West, these all show that immortality is the rumor that it is most closely tied to the Queen Mother of the West's clan.

Everyone is eager for immortality, and there are countless emperors in history who want to cultivate the Tao and refine the pill to achieve immortality, but none of them can succeed.

The road of immortality is like being locked here, so there is the concept of immortal lock.

To be able to penetrate the immortals requires great wisdom.

Originally, I thought that the immortal lock was just a derivative concept, but judging from the current boulder lock, the immortal lock should be a factual concept. ”

Professor Huang's circumstantial quotation focuses all the trivial details on the point of immortality, and the elucidation of the immortal lock also seems to imply that this boulder is the so-called immortal lock.

An immortal lock based on the material form contains an ancient virus, which is very inconsistent.

If we want to interpret it in a philosophical sense, it seems that the plague that represents death is locked up with something and there is no disease and no disaster, which seems to be another form of immortality.

As for the method of immortality handed down by later generations, what kind of peach and elixir are just the products of the imagination of later generations, and they are a positive expansion of the word immortality.

"There is a traditional folk accessory called the longevity lock, which means that it is to dispel diseases and disasters and ensure that newborns can live a long life.

If the Immortal Lock represents a barrier to calamity, then this boulder containing an ancient virus may be the origin of this traditional folklore. ”

Jiang Yingxue correlated the similarities between the Immortal Lock and the Longevity Lock, and the two do have their analogous feasibility at the level of meaning.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the West Mountains" records that the Queen Mother of the West is like a human, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth and a good roar, and a hoopoe with fluffy hair.

In this most primitive record, only the five punishments and murderous qi of the Queen Mother of the West are mentioned, and the option of immortality is not mentioned.

This is inconsistent with the mythology of later generations, in which the Queen Mother of the West presided over both immortality and death.

Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that immortality is nothing more than an extension of the "locking/terminating" calamity.

So, let's call this boulder mechanism the Immortal Lock.

In terms of the overall pattern, this is a complex mechanism that combines the Luban lock and the Qinglong astrological sign.

The so-called Luban lock is to finally assemble some wooden strips into a cube through established steps.

In my opinion, the steps of piecing together this stone cube may be hidden in the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon. ”

Professor Huang expressed his final opinion on the process of solving the puzzle of this megalith, which can be regarded as a personal conjecture based on established logic.

Whether it can be successful or not depends entirely on the subsequent trial process.

In terms of the internal structure of the stone, it is also the best guess that can be given at present to understand the fragments of each part as 3D building blocks.

"Luban lock is a thing that is very easy to fight, and it is even easier to disassemble, and the hook structure in the middle of the wooden strip is also very simple.

However, if you look at the surface layout of this boulder mechanism, you can find that its collusion will be very complicated.

If there is a deviation, it may also destroy the internal structure of the interior prematurely, releasing the encapsulated ancient virus.

At that time, the Boulder Mechanism will slowly heat up, resulting in the release of ancient viruses that may be extremely active.

Dismantling this boulder mechanism is no less dangerous than dismantling a time bomb. ”

Bai Ning agreed with Professor Huang's guess, but did not dare to underestimate the dangerous process of dismantling.

Any precise three-dimensional structure often takes one wrong step and one wrong step.

The reason is simple, it is an artificial object based on established drawings, and the process of building and dismantling it is nothing more than a set of rigid dead objects.

The variables are terrible, and the subtlety and complexity are even more terrifying.
