Chapter 566: Archaeology
Zhuge Kongming, ah Zhuge Kongming, the torrent of the times is so fierce that even the first military advisor in the world, who could support from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, is difficult to resist. He is still a notch behind Sir Isaac Newton... Of course, if the spiritual energy between heaven and earth does not recede, a hundred Sir Newtons might be beaten by Zhuge. Spiritual machinery is a super genius design.
And now this mechanism of the Eight Formations, which is exquisitely designed, has no spiritual energy, so it is left with illusion, and it is beaten by the intelligence continued and developed by Sir Newton... If the robots use AI to scan the map, they will not be disturbed by illusion, such as the slight angle misalignment of the stairs, which causes a cycle in a certain distance. Robots can generate their own trajectory maps on the computer.
This tomb has no ability to block electronic signals, so after positioning, although the robot moves slowly and often has to come up to change the battery, it still drew a map of the underground palace with a diameter of about 30 meters a week later. Of course, by the way, the missing people were also found—the two armed police soldiers were in a coma due to dehydration and fatigue. They walked less than ten meters in, but circled many, many times...
And the tomb robbers and tomb-robbing villagers who went in before were already dead when they were found. Since they are already dead, it is not convenient to bring them out for the time being. However, since the map has been drawn, the archaeologists and public security police outside can enter from the tomb passage and carefully handle it according to the electronic map to eliminate the illusion. Still have to wear protective clothing and carry oxygen cylinders.
First rescue the two armed police soldiers, and then the public security police carried out the dead tomb robbers one by one for autopsy, and found that they died of fatigue caused by circling and carbon monoxide poisoning, and finally heart failure or suffocation. Now not only are these dead people dead in vain, but others involved have to be caught in a long string. The local police and the police in other places cooperated and broke several tomb-robbing and fencing gangs.
The tomb is relatively dry, and archaeologists found epitaphs at the entrance of the tomb passage. The inscription is clearly Kongming's own handwriting. "There is no difference from the records in the Biography of Bai Lang in the Records of the Three Kingdoms." The epitaph did not reveal any strange news, but focused on describing Bai Lang's martial bravery and martial arts that broke thousands of troops. On the walls of the tomb passage, there are painting bricks, typical Eastern Han style brick paintings, showing the scene of the general breaking the enemy army.
The maze inside is not very special, it is just up and down to cause illusion, and there are many forks. Under the illumination of the map and the gradually brought-in lights, people still approached the tomb chamber step by step. The poisonous copper lamp designed by Kongming went against his vision—the result was that after 1,700 years, it was not re-lit...
Electric lights filled the entire maze, and finally came to the tomb chamber door—only after this bronze door is the tomb chamber where the coffin and funeral objects are placed. "The door can be moved, it looks like there is a 'lock'." After carefully checking the bronze door, the experts carefully used a long hook to open the bolt. Still carrying oxygen cylinders—the cost of this archaeology is not small, if it weren't for the strong support of the local government, it would really not be possible.
This tomb is really too complete. It can be concluded that it is a "Eight Formations" tomb supervised by Kongming. It is an extremely precious cultural relic. Just having this thing, the local government has a big gimmick for tourism development. And the tomb chamber is all profit. The tomb chamber was opened. This time, the lamp designed by Kongming was useful. As soon as the airflow from the outside poured in, the fire basin "brushed" and ignited a flame.
The flame didn't burn for long before it went out—after a thousand years of time, the lamp oil had long since dried up, and there was only a little residue in the wick of the fire basin. If the spiritual energy was full, the mermaid oil here could indeed not be extinguished for a thousand years, but since the spiritual energy dissipated, the mermaid oil was the same as lard and fish oil, which would rot, deteriorate, and decompose. The specially made lamps were sent in—in order to avoid the decomposition of the colors of the funeral objects, after all, it has been almost two thousand years, so this lamp is specially made.
The light illuminated the tomb chamber with a diameter of about ten meters. This tomb chamber is square and has no side chambers on the left and right sides. In the center are three coffins placed on the piled stone platform, and around them are funeral objects placed in an orderly manner—the left and right sides look like daily necessities and jewelry for women, and the other end of the tomb chamber is placed with weapons and armor. There are paintings on the walls of the tomb chamber, thanks to the use of mineral pigments, so they are still bright after a thousand years—as long as they are not oxidized.
The three coffins are very large. The middle one should be the tomb owner Bai Lang Bai Yuzhu, the coffin of the first fierce general of the late Han and Three Kingdoms, and the two on the left and right should be the coffins of the two wives—sure enough, on the cards outside the coffins, it was also written Lady Zou and Lady Zhen. These two women were over sixty years old, one was sixty-eight and the other was sixty-six. The outer coffin is a stone outer coffin, not a wooden outer coffin, with carvings on the outside and inlaid with jade, gold foil, and silver pieces.
The coffins don't need to be opened yet. First, register the funeral objects in the tomb chamber. The funeral objects include wooden utensils, tile utensils, and celadon utensils. Wooden utensils are mainly various furniture, tile utensils are daily utensils, and almost all porcelain utensils are beautifully styled soul bottles. The degree of completeness is very high, and almost none are broken. Gold and silver utensils were also found in the tomb chamber, as well as gold and silver hooks—originally they should be on leather belts, but after a thousand years, most of the leather belts have rotted, so the hooks and inlaid jade pieces have fallen under the copper clothes rack.
There are many women's clothes in wooden boxes and wooden cabinets. Unfortunately, time has pressed them into a stack, so after spraying the protective closed mist, the archaeologists carefully put them into boxes filled with nitrogen, preparing to gradually separate and repair them in the laboratory. This is a major archaeological discovery. There are not many Han Dynasty clothes unearthed.
And when cleaning the weapons at the other end, the first thing discovered by archaeologists was the skeletons of four warhorses. This should be a funeral object—however, it is definitely not the famous Qingzhi horse of Bai Lang in history books, because history books clearly write that this horse died ten years after Bai Lang passed away. Next is a set of armor. This set of armor actually did not rust. Because the armor pieces were connected by iron rings, it did not scatter, and the weight reached 27 kilograms, which is a very rare heavy armor.
As for whether this is real combat armor, the archaeologists present fell into a dispute. Most people think this is a funeral object, a decorative armor specially used for burial—because to wear such armor to fight? This is not something that ordinary humans can do. The size of the armor can be worn by a person with a height of 1.9 to 2 meters, so a few people insist that this is the real combat armor worn by Bai Lang to roam the world.
And the funeral objects at this end are few. The rest are knives, swords, and iron maces on the weapon rack. Of course, the most eye-catching is the weapon with a huge spear blade placed horizontally on the rack, with a length of nearly three meters. In history books, this weapon is famous, and in the romance, it has a legendary fantasy color, "Cloud Water Spear, it actually exists." ===== CHAPTER 567 =====
