Origin Chapter 94: Magic
“We’re not here to study the bronze figurines,” Wang Xinran said. “What if there are other exits?”
“No,” Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, “there can be no back door to the mausoleum.”
Although Wu Zhongyuan said it with certainty, Wang Xinran was still worried, “Let’s go back and study it, and go inside first.”
“Let’s go first.” Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
“Alright, you all follow as soon as possible.” Wang Xinran waved at Zhang Shukai, and the two pushed open the stone door and went to the second stone room.
“What’s in there?” Wu Zhongyuan shouted.
“There is a stone platform, and the ground is full of water.” Wang Xinran responded.
Wu Zhongyuan didn’t ask any more questions. He lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the damaged bronze figurine. Since it was broken, he could use destructive decomposition.
Lv Jiahui does not agree with Wu Zhongyuan’s approach, because the first element of archaeology is not to destroy cultural relics, but she just stood by and did not say anything to stop it. Everyone has curiosity, and she also wants to know about this copper The source of human power and how it works.
There are many gears of different sizes on the chest and abdomen of the bronze man, and the four limbs are driven by connecting rods and gears. These gears and connecting rods are only transmission devices, not power sources.
The power source should be in the head. The bronze man’s head has been knocked off by Zhao Ying and others, but the outside is still covered with copper pieces. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan has nowhere to start, Lv Jiahui took out a claw hammer from her backpack and handed it over .
Wu Zhongyuan tilted her head to look at her, and Lv Jiahui smiled a little embarrassedly.
Wu Zhongyuan took the hammer and struck the bronze figure’s head. Judging from the sound of the knock, the copper sheet covering the bronze figure’s head was not thick.
“Hahaha, ********.”
The voice came from the bronze man’s head, very suddenly, the voice of an old man.
Because there was no psychological preparation in advance, Wu Zhongyuan and Lv Jiahui burst into flames the moment the laughter appeared. Lv Jiahui subconsciously took a few steps back, while Wu Zhongyuan was frightened and threw the bronze man’s head away Go out and scrambling to stand up.
The bronze man’s head rolled into the corner without making another sound.
Waiting for a while tremblingly, but nothing unusual happened, Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Lv Jiahui, “What’s going on?”
As soon as Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, there was another sound coming from the bronze man’s head. It was the old man’s voice. Since there was no hahaha this time, Wu Zhongyuan couldn’t understand what he said.
Fear, like morale, is a one-shot, then down-and-down. The first sentence that the bronze man said was the most fearful for the two of them, but this time, they were no longer so frightened, but more confused.
“What did it say?” Wu Zhongyuan asked in a low voice.
“It’s the Han Dynasty…” Lv Jiahui said.
Before Lv Jiahui finished speaking, a voice came from the bronze man’s head again, this time the sentence was longer, lasting seven or eight seconds.
When the bronze man finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Lv Jiahui suspiciously, “Can you understand?”
“Hahaha, ********.” The bronze man spoke again, this time the same as the first sentence.
After a brief silence, Lv Jiahui whispered, “It speaks the language of the Han Dynasty, and the pronunciation is very different from that of modern times, but it is not completely invisible.”
As soon as Wu Zhongyuan was about to answer the call, Lv Jiahui whispered again, “The bronze man’s head seems to have a sensor that senses echoes and vibrations, and then responds.”
Wu Zhongyuan was dubious, coughed dryly, and the bronze man really spoke again, the second sentence he said before.
Wu Zhongyuan believed it and asked in a low voice, “What did it say?”
“The first sentence seems to be that the Taoist priest has been waiting for you for a long time.” Lv Jiahui is not very sure.
“Is it the pinnacle that has been waiting for a long time?” Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Lu Jiahui nodded, “Yes, your translation is more appropriate.”
“What’s the second sentence?” Wu Zhongyuan asked in a low voice.
“I didn’t really listen, as if I wanted to ask you something.” Lv Jiahui said.
Wu Zhongyuan coughed again, and the bronze man’s head began to speak again. This time it was the third sentence before. The bronze man could only say three sentences, and the order could not be reversed.
Cough again, Tongren repeats the first sentence, cough again, Tongren repeats the second sentence.
This time Lv Jiahui listened carefully, “The second sentence means that it has a question and wants to ask you for advice. The third sentence means that there is a heaven or a land, do you think it will come first? Left hand, hold its right hand first if you think it has ground.”
“This is a philosophical question, as well as a metaphysical question. It has the same meaning as which came first, the chicken or the egg.” Wu Zhongyuan said, when he relaxed and his voice became louder, the copper man’s head began to repeat what he said before.
“The sky or the land?” Lv Jiahui asked in a low voice.
“There must be God first.” Wu Zhongyuan said that many times people like to do some meaningless things, and also like to complicate simple things, to scrutinize some worthless theories such as white horses but not horses, Heaven and earth, like eggs, have a priority order, just like the lyrics in a song. There is no heaven, there is a land, a genius comes first, and a chicken comes first. Eggs are laid by chickens, but The first chicken was transformed from a dinosaur.
“There should be two things hidden in its two hands.” Lv Jiahui whispered.
Wu Zhongyuan didn’t answer, but squatted down to look at the copper figure’s left and right hands. Sure enough, there was a coin-sized round hole in the two palms of the copper figure, but both holes had copper Covered in leather, you can’t see what’s inside.
The parts of the two arms of the bronze figure below the elbows are covered with copper pieces. Wu Zhongyuan picked up the claw hammer and tried to pry open the copper piece of the bronze figure’s left hand. Once he pryed, the copper figure made a sound, and the bronze figure started hahaha again.
Although he knew that the sound would not have any adverse effect on the two of them, the stone chamber was relatively airtight, there was an echo, and he panicked when he smiled, so Wu Zhongyuan suspended his research on the bronze figurine’s arm and used a claw hammer to pry the bronze figurine’s head. .
The four of them had a conversation when they first came in. At that time, the bronze figurine didn’t make a sound. After he hit the bronze figurine’s head with a claw hammer, the head began to speak. This shows that the mechanism in the bronze figurine’s head is in poor contact , I had been hit by a gun before, but I was knocked and touched again.
While Wu Zhongyuan was busy dismantling, Wang Xinran and Zhang Shukai turned around and came back. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan holding the bronze man’s head and beating it with a hammer, the head was still talking, stunned, “You are What?”
Wu Zhongyuan paused and turned his head, “Why did you guys come back?”
“Hahaha, ********.”
Wu Zhongyuan frowned helplessly, and hit the bronze man’s head with a hammer.
“The fourth stone gate was blocked from the inside,” Wang Xinran came over, “what are you doing?”
“Doing scientific research.” Wu Zhongyuan began to fiddle with the bronze figurine’s head again.
Wang Xinran regretted going forward at this time. She must have missed something during the time she was away. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan couldn’t pry open the bronze man’s head alone, he came over to help him hold it and fix it. The two worked together, Only then did the copper pieces on the outside of the bronze man’s head unload.
There are many reeds and the like in the head, and the central area is a black thing with regular cut pieces, about the size and shape of a cigarette case.
“What is this?” Wu Zhongyuan looked at Wang Xinran.
If he speaks a few seconds late, Wang Xinran will say this sentence, and she is also wondering what this black thing is.
Fortunately, there were experts, and Lv Jiahui made a judgment after close observation, “This is a natural magnet, which has been artificially polished later.”
After Lv Jiahui finished speaking, the three of them did not answer. They should all be thinking about the same question, that is, how can the magnet make a sound.
“The principle is the same as that of Yin Soldiers.” Lv Jiahui said.
Wang Xinran and Zhang Shukai suddenly realized.
The two suddenly realized, but Wu Zhongyuan was still in a fog. The 18th Bureau should have investigated the strange phenomenon of Yin Soldiers borrowing, and came to a scientific conclusion. Wang Xinran and others must have seen the file, but He hadn’t seen it.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan’s puzzled face, Wang Xinran explained, “In some places, there will be strange incidents of ghost soldiers borrowing the way on cloudy and rainy days. This is not a ghost, but a natural phenomenon. Many years ago, there may be troops marching in the same area. Passing by, or the two armies were fighting against each other, it happened to be rainy weather at that time, thunder and rain, if there happened to be magnetite around, the scene at that time would be recorded by the magnetite excited by lightning. If there is thunder and lightning, the scene at that time may be replayed.”
“Magnetite has the functions of a battery and a hard drive?” Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Wu Zhongyuan’s question was not very precise, but Wang Xinran gave him a positive answer, “Almost, the relevant information is contained in magnetite, and lightning is just the trigger.”
The college students who dropped out are also college students, and they still have some comprehension ability. Wu Zhongyuan also felt that Wang Xinran’s explanation was reasonable, but some things are interesting and mysterious. Once a scientific explanation is made, it will lose its interest. He shoved his head into Wang Xinran’s hand, and took the claw hammer over to pry the copper piece on the bronze figure’s left arm.
“What are you prying it for?” Wang Xinran asked curiously.
“There may be something hidden in its two arms.” Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
Wang Xinran didn’t know why, and turned to look at Lv Jiahui. Lv Jiahui relayed to her the three sentences that Tongren said before.
Wang Xinran became interested after listening to it, and squatted down to observe the bronze figure’s right arm.
The armor plate on the bronze man’s arm is tightly connected, and it is difficult to pry it, and there is no tool at hand, so it can’t be pryed open for a while.
“The mechanism on the arm should exist independently and may not be damaged.” This is the result of Wang Xinran’s observation.
Wang Xinran reminded him that Wu Zhongyuan put down the claw hammer and reached out to hold the bronze man’s left hand. The reason why he was so bold was because it was clearly written on the stone tablet outside. If the question is answered correctly, there will be a reward, and if the answer is wrong, there will be a small punishment. Since it is a small punishment, it is definitely not a cut off an arm or a leg.
With a firm grip, the mechanism was triggered, and a thing appeared in the palm of the bronze man. It was not big, about the size of a button, irregularly square, light red, not like jade, but more like some kind of crystal.
Wang Xinran was opposite Wu Zhongyuan and saw what he was holding, “Diamonds?”
“Definitely not.” Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. In ancient times, diamonds were not recognized by the world at all, and if they were not recognized by the world, they were worthless.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan’s handshake was fruitful, Wang Xinran also shook it.
Seeing her reaching out, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly said to stop, “Don’t…”
He reminded him intentionally, but it was too late. Wang Xinran had already grasped it, and something appeared in the palm of the bronze man’s right hand, but it was not a solid, but a sticky jelly.
“Huh?” Wang Xinran looked suspiciously.
“What is it?” Wu Zhongyuan asked.
“It seems to be some kind of oil with impurities,” Wang Xinran said, raising his hand in front of his nose, and frowning after sniffing, “Why is it so stinky?”
“Is it shit?” Wu Zhongyuan grinned.
Wang Xinran only felt stinky, but she didn’t think about it yet. Wu Zhongyuan said, she immediately matched the number. It was the smell of feces, but it was mixed with grease. Maybe it was because she was worried that the feces would dry. Special oils are mixed and preserved.
Wang Xinran was disgustingly disgusting, tossing and rubbing, wiping and washing.
“This immortal.” Wang Xinran was furious.
Wu Zhongyuan didn’t answer, just laughed. Zhang Shukai and Lv Jiahui also wanted to laugh, but they held back, it was very hard.
“What are you holding in your hand?” Wang Xinran asked.
“It’s very light, it’s not jade, it should be a piece of unrefined natural sugar.” Wu Zhongyuan guessed that since the right hand is a punishment, the left hand must be a reward.
“Lick, lick.” Wang Xinran snorted with suspicion.
Wu Zhongyuan really licked it, sweet, “it’s sugar.”
“This immortal is a lunatic,” Wang Xinran scolded. “It took a lot of time to create this bronze figure just to make fun of us?”
“You should be glad that he only wanted to tease us, not kill us.” Wu Zhongyuan said.
“Those stone chambers inside may also be a trick to trick people,” Wang Xinran said.
“It’s not possible, it’s definitely.” Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wang Xinran suddenly laughed, laughing happily, leaning back and forth.
Wu Zhongyuan was laughed at by Wang Xinran, “What are you laughing at?”
“It was originally used to tease us, but the black suit went first, hahaha…”
