491 Chapter 491 Siguniang Mountain (51)

I thought about what my brother said and said: "If the tomb chamber can rotate, then this mechanism should be quite big. This tomb is not big or small. It is embedded in the cavity of the mountain wall. The cavity is big enough." It is big and deep enough to accommodate large-scale mechanisms. There is also a large amount of water resources, and water conservancy can be used to affect large-scale mechanisms. How does this tomb rotate?"

I fiddled with the bronze fragments and thought for a while and said: "Is there only one entrance to the tomb? The tomb passage is straight and has no branch roads. After entering the front chamber and then to the main tomb chamber, the surroundings are always quiet. Is it possible? It turns out that this tomb had been turned before we entered.

Judging from the time, they must have come in. We and them are in tandem, and we can only enter the tomb through that tomb door. There is no reason why we can't meet them after such a long time. At least it's in vain. Brother Hao is following us. Shouldn't he be here when we look at the murals?

Even if he plans to wait for Sister Liyue and the people from Jiumen to follow before coming in, he and Sister Liyue also know that we will come directly to the main tomb chamber. Even if they don’t come in with us, they will come directly to us. Judging from the layout of this tomb, It's quite simple. I know that just go straight. How could they not know? If there was nothing hindering them, they would not have stopped coming to meet us.

The main mechanism for rotating the tomb chamber may be the mechanism that opens the tomb door. When the two tomb-guarding beasts at the door rotate, the tomb chamber at the back has already rotated quietly, the door is opened, and the tomb chamber at the back has also rotated. As soon as the door opened and closed, we were sent into different tombs unknowingly. If so, how would it turn.

If the tomb wall or floor of the octagonal tomb is turned flat and the entrance remains unchanged, then the orientation of the things in the tomb will be obvious at a glance. The chronological order of the carved murals will also betray its movements. Yes, isn't that the same as turning around in vain? It should not only be turned around. If you don't want to see anything wrong with the tomb chamber, and the entrance remains the same, perhaps the rooms that are turned around should be the ear chambers and side chambers, and the rooms on the inside of the tomb wall. The space remains unchanged, the things on the outside of the curtain wall are pluralized, and the outside is rotated to change the room. It sounds more reliable, but if we go all the way here directly without going to the surrounding rooms, it should not be affected, so it is still wrong. .

Could it be that the octagonal tomb chamber and the ear chambers and side chambers on both sides of it actually rotate together, so that people who enter the tomb will not easily notice changes in the tomb chamber. If the octagonal chamber has two ears, it must not rotate flatly, and it will get stuck. Dead, so the direction of rotation should be vertical.

As I said that, I put down the bronze fragments I had sorted out in my hand, stretched out my hand and gently grabbed it in the air. A light golden light flashed on my fingertips, and a thin, alien-shaped thing no bigger than my palm was pinched in my hand. in hands.

I made a miniature flat map based on the known structure of the tomb chamber. The sheet map is small and thin, but has some hardness. The octagonal tomb chamber was directly replaced by the Bagua disk pattern engraved with hexagrams and five elements. The side chambers, Since the ear chambers don't know their shapes, they are replaced by rectangular shapes. These shapes used to represent rooms are all connected together by long strips of different lengths representing passages.

Holding the drawing on my fingertips, I held it upright and parallel to my eyes. A clear character shape came into view. I said: "This shape is the character "A". The shape is quite standard. Remember to say Ya, Zhong, Jia." , the A-shaped tomb is the lowest level of a prince’s tomb, and the owner here still has an official position.”

I tried to rotate the figure representing the tomb on the map, and it was exactly as I thought. If I turned it horizontally, the tomb would shake at most. I turned the mini drawing sideways and took off the Bagua disk figure representing the front room. , paused for a moment holding the graphics, and then began to draw around the map with the Bagua disk graphics.

I moved my hands up and down like drawing symbols, holding the Bagua plate left and right and shaking it around the map, looking for the most reliable way to rotate the tomb chamber. I tried it out and if there were at least two huge ones erected next to the map. It should be possible to use a large turntable with a round wheel structure like a water wheel, and sandwich the octagonal tomb chamber group with ears between two large round wheels. The water flows towards the round wheels, and the round wheels rotate with the room.

I frowned and tried my best to think about it. I thought it was quite reliable and said to my brother: "Brother, I guess this should be a set of large waterwheels similar to those used to divert water, which both rotate and rise. The descending circular arrangement, the age of this tomb, it should have a waterwheel design."

Zhang Qiling blurted out: "The keel waterwheel began in the Eastern Han Dynasty."

I said "uh", and my understanding was that my brother meant that this tomb should have had that kind of setting in its era. I said, "I now feel that there is a rotation setting that can rotate the tomb chamber based on the principle.

The door we entered through has not changed, and the tomb passage from the beginning has not changed. The only thing that has changed is the part of the tomb chamber from the front chamber to the back. However, it is not yet confirmed whether the tomb chamber rotates in sections or as a whole.

The volume and weight of the tomb chamber are still very large. If it is to be rotated as a whole, the circular arrangement of this rotating design must be at least two arranged at one end and one end, sandwiching the tomb chamber in the middle. If it is to be rotated in sections, the rotating circle The number of shape settings should also be increased. The tomb chamber with the same design is fixed on the device for rotation. The whole device feels like the rotating thing on the old-fashioned pistol with bullets installed on it. "

After Zhang Qiling heard this description, he slightly raised his head and glanced at the girl who was gesturing with her little hands and tilting her head to look at him with a serious face. That childish and serious look on her face was so cute.

He continued to fiddle with the bronze fragments in his hand, and said in the same calm tone: "Wheel." But after saying that, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth at a very slight angle, and his eyes narrowed.

Because the little girl looked at him very seriously, she naturally noticed the extremely subtle and fleeting changes in his expression. She was stunned for a moment before saying softly "Oh", and then her little face turned slightly red. .

The girl then said: "Then... what are the holes called for putting bullets in there? Are they... bullet chambers?"

Zhang Qiling knew that the gun the little girl used at home was for holding spiritual energy bottles or spiritual blood bottles. Although it looked like a pistol, its principle seemed to be closer to that of a water gun. It was very different from a gun with ordinary bullets. The little girl used a gun just It’s faster to get started and the target shooting is more accurate, but I don’t know much about guns at all.

Zhang Qiling listened to her voice and was very unconfident. Looking at her slightly red face, he knew that the little guy was nervous because he didn't know what to say. He must have been thinking over and over again in his little head before he tried to speak out. A word that I feel is reliable.Zhang Qiling said softly this time: "The wheel is the magazine, and the place where the bullets are loaded is called the magazine."

The little girl blinked her eyes and seemed to know that Zhang Qiling was teaching her knowledge. She said "Oh" and nodded and said, "That's it. I remember it."

After a slight pause, he said: "I think the main body of this mechanism may be a structure similar to a runner, with a separated frame similar to a bomb nest, and other tomb chamber groups are stuck on the frame, and then rotate There is a baffle on the wheel that functions like a paddle, and it uses the water flow to move the water and rotate the entire mechanism.

The wheel that controls the rotation should be on our left or right. We came from the waterway. The drainage outlet at the bottom of the lake was opened, and all the water several meters deep in the glacial lake was drained away. The water disappeared without a trace. This shows that the water circulation system here is very large and complex. The water flow may be directed to the nearby mechanisms to activate the subsequent mechanisms. Aren't the mechanisms sometimes interlocked and related? And there is sufficient water power. Rotating the tomb chamber is not a problem in principle. "

I paused for a moment, waved my hand lightly, and took out a mechanism of the tomb chamber in my imagination out of thin air. I held it and put it next to the map and made some gestures, saying: "This kind of structure still needs to pay attention to balance before it can be turned around." It's stable. There are at least two tombs with the same attributes. The one we entered is tomb one, and they will enter tomb two when they come in. But if there are tombs three and four, then it will naturally be difficult for us to encounter them. Each rotation will eventually form a complete tomb with the word "A". You may not be able to tell for a while that this tomb has a clone, so isn't it true and false? It seems that we have nothing to do for the time being, so we are in the real world. The tomb is still considered fake."

I rattled off a bunch of speculations, and then based on my immature ideas, I added all the elements I thought of to the map in my hand. The map suddenly changed from a flat map to a three-dimensional map, but the shape seemed indescribable. Strange.

I held up the updated three-dimensional map and showed it to my brother, and said to him: "I think that's what it is. If you enter a different tomb every time you come in, then they should also find something wrong with the tomb by now, right?" Brother Bai Hao and Sister Liyue will find a way to find us, but if those people don't have a clear path, they can't go back the same way, right?"

Zhang Qiling put the bronze fragments in his hand into a sorted pile, took the small map handed over by the little girl, and looked at it quietly in his hand. The wheel on it could really rotate. He Fiddled with it a few times.

Although the map was prepared in a hurry, Zhang Qiling looked at the map with great detail. The content shown on the map was not very different from the state of the tomb he imagined.

The girl's little finger pointed to the small button-like bump on the wheel and said to him: "Brother, that can make it move." As she said that, her finger fell on the first small bump from the left. As soon as the door of the tomb is opened, the wheel starts to rotate, and the tomb chamber is changed from tomb chamber one to tomb chamber two by the wheel.

The little girl said to him: "This is the rotation method I thought of. It can rotate as a whole or in sections. The segmented rotation can be that the matching front chamber and main tomb chamber rotate at a constant speed, or it can be staggered. The front chamber of No. [-] Match the main tomb chamber of No. [-], and the front chamber of No. [-] to the main tomb chamber of No. [-]. The most troublesome thing is probably the cross-matching."

Zhang Qiling pressed the buttons one by one and looked at the different rotation patterns. After a while, the girl looked at each one before she asked him softly: "How is it? Do you have an idea?"

Zhang Qiling looked around, then looked at the top of the octagonal stove and said, "Proceed as planned."

The original plan was to finish all the chain lanterns here. It seemed that the chain lanterns were involved in some very important mechanism. Seeing that the look in his eyes when he looked at the octagonal stove top was not the same as the doubtful look in his eyes before, His eyes were firm now, and there was also a hint of coldness in his eyes.

We put away the map and continued to sort out the remaining bronze fragments. We must have figured out a lot of things here, and my brother sorted them out faster. In the time he just sorted out one corner fragment, he had already sorted out two.

I watched him repeatedly piece together the plan of stacking the fragments of the fifth lantern. I roughly knew the shape of this thing. I was already silently piecing together in my mind what the lantern would look like when it was erected.

Until we completed another one, we moved our position to remove the fragments of the next floating head. When we wanted to pick up the main trunk and clean it, we found that the main trunk of this group of chandeliers was very difficult to pick up. We shook the branches to remove the stuck bronze rust on them. My brother signaled me to get out of the way. He clasped one end of the branch with one hand to separate the branch from the ground. He inserted the long fingers of his right hand into the opened gap to expand the gap until he could hold the branch in his hand. When he reached a certain level, he exerted a strong force, and the branch was lifted up by him. Then he held the branch with both hands and pulled it up from the ground like a radish.

A rusty chain was pulled out from the bare end of the branch. The chain was strung up from the ground. My brother straightened the chain and looked at it, but he didn't use any force to pull it.

After a while, everything was ready. I grabbed a handful of air again, and with a flash of mental power in my hand, my fingertips held an assembled chandelier model with slender branches seven or eight centimeters high.

I asked my brother: "Is this what he looks like?"

He looked at it and nodded, and I said to him: "Okay, leave it to me."
