Chapter 118: The Secret of the Mo Family (1)

With the blessing of the spiritual power of the ontological realm, even the darkest places can be as if they were day. The reason why people are afraid of the dark is because in ancient times they did not have an advantage against wild beasts, and those carnivorous beasts mostly preferred to come out at night to feed.

In addition, human beings have a natural fear of the unseen, that is, the unknown, so the fear of the dark has become a characteristic written in the genes.

But for Ling Yunfeng, these are not problems. He found that since his spiritual power reached the second layer, not only could his body control himself, but even many of his previous thoughts and opinions were quietly changing.

However, it is only right to meet with the team members as soon as possible, so Ling Yunfeng put aside his thoughts and looked around. It was found that the hole was not as smooth and neat as the tunnel I had seen before, but was obviously very rough.

And right next to the hole that he violently broken, there was a secret door. It's just that the secret door was stoned from the inside.

The rough passage, the locked secret door, and the fact that the surface of the passage is not a new sign can only reveal one problem.

That is, this passage is not a secret passage to enter from the outside, but a passage for craftsmen and the like to escape. Ling Yunfeng still remembered that during the selection, he had strayed into the ancient tomb of Liaojin once, where he met Huang Fatzi, and listened to him: In addition to using people to be martyred, the ancient emperors also liked to bury the craftsmen who built the tomb alive in the tomb, for fear that they would reveal the secrets of the mausoleum.

Therefore, the smarter craftsmen will leave themselves a secret passage to escape in advance. Moreover, if it was done by tomb robbers, they would not have installed a secret door, and they would simply destroy it as much as they wanted.

The reason why there is a secret door is so that when you are locked in the tomb, you can escape through the secret door. This also explains why they sealed the secret door when they entered the secret passage, so that as few people as possible could know. Otherwise, whether it is known by the royal family or the tomb robbers, it will be a dead end.

There was no way, Ling Yunfeng had to continue along this passage. The passage is not high, and only one person can walk bent over, and in some places even crawl to pass. It can be seen that this was dug according to the gaps in the rocks, and it was controlled very hastily.

This also confirms that it is used by craftsmen to escape, so disposable products will be used.

After walking for about half an hour, I gradually heard a rumbling sound in front of me. And the further you go, the louder it gets. At the same time, Ling Yunfeng could feel that the temperature was also dropping.

Although the temperature is nothing to him now. But subtle changes still can't escape his keen awareness.

At this time, Ling Yunfeng was by no means nervous before, as if he was just walking in the park alone, and even had a strong interest in the strange sound in front of him.

When Ling Yunfeng turned a detour, he found that his eyes suddenly opened up. There is a huge space here, and there are countless large machines relying on the mountain.

The largest is a huge waterwheel erected in front of it. The wheel scoops buckets of water from a pool at the bottom and turns it to the very end, and then it is tripped by a metal platform, so that the buckets are dumped in a large pool connected to many pipes, and the water is scooped up through those pipes.

And not far from the slope of the pool, there were several pipes passing through, and the water flowing from the pipes was just filled with empty buckets.

Ling Yunfeng looked at it for a while and understood, because the water in the pool below was not living water, there was no way to push this big waterwheel to operate. So the builders used the kinetic energy of the drop in the water when it flowed back, as well as the weight of the water after it entered the bucket, to push the waterwheel to keep moving.

But if such a thing like a perpetual motion machine could run for more than 2,000 years, Ling Yunfeng still didn't believe it. Not only the earthquake, but also the evaporation has dried up the water. In addition, there is also the wear and tear of the machinery that must be considered.

But the facts are right in front of you, which makes Ling Yunfeng very puzzled. So he had to go up to the big waterwheel to see what was going on.

When he arrived near the pool, Ling Yunfeng felt that something was wrong, because there was no wave in the water. When the bucket was filled with water, there was no splash at all, and the water was silvery white. This is water, it is clearly mercury!

And Ling Yunfeng didn't know where the mask had fallen when he fell off that slide. At this time, he was so close to the mercury that Ling Yunfeng almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Ling Yunfeng's spiritual power had reached the adjacent second floor, and he immediately looked inside his body. I found that a lot of mercury has entered my body through pores and air.

So Ling Yunfeng concentrated his energy, and began to force the mercury in his body out of his body with the spiritual power he didn't have much to practice. It took nearly two hours at once.

When the mercury was forced out of the body, he couldn't relax, Ling Yunfeng hurriedly closed all the pores, and even stopped breathing. In order to last longer, he also slowed the beating of his heart to reduce the need for oxygen.

In this way, it is still possible to stick to it for a few hours. When practicing in the consciousness space, Ling Yunfeng had tried not breathing, but he didn't expect to use it here.

When all this was ready, he had time to take a closer look at the waterwheel. It turned out that the big waterwheel was made of bronze throughout...... No, it should be made of some kind of alloy.

If the bronze level of the Qin Dynasty was the first, he believed that there was another alloy that could resist corrosion and friction, which was a bit incredible.

But think about the Wanqu countryman in the mural, as well as the weapons used by the Qin army in the previous battles with the spies of the Eyelid Beauty, there seems to be a layer of light on them...... Could it be that Qin Shi Huang really acquired any cross-era technology?

I really can't think of it, and Ling Yunfeng doesn't want to waste time here. After all, I had a limited amount of time to hold on, so I had to walk in the direction of those pipes.

This journey can be regarded as opening Ling Yunfeng's eyes. Not only the previous waterwheel, but also a giant gear set in the back, although not like modern gears like each tooth is sharp, there are not so many teeth, can be stupid, big black and thick, but that kind of metallic texture, especially after more than 2,000 years is still running, it is much stronger than modern products.

Of course, what Ling Yunfeng didn't know was that in fact, gears also began to appear in the West at the same time in the Qin Dynasty, and even 100 BC someone used gears on the odometer. It's just that both Greece and Rome have lost these cultural traditions in the war, and our Huaxia has also been neglected because of the exclusive respect for Confucianism in later dynasties, and these technologies can only be buried in the dust in ancient tombs.

Ling Yunfeng wasn't interested in machinery, but when he saw the mechanism in front of him, he couldn't help but gasp. This almost broke his breath-holding effort.
