Tomb Keeper: My clone is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor

Chapter 107 Penrose Ladder!One thousand and five hundred years ago, Zu Chongzhi invented the Soul-Suspended Ladder? !
hiss!
Feng Taichu's explanation was like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of the two of them.

Because no one thought that the stairs that could not be walked out would be like this?

However, all this still needs to be verified.

So, Feng Taichu continued: "But all this is just my guess, so I left this mark to see if we are going in circles."

"Let's continue walking down. After walking through a few floors, if this mark is still here, it really means that we have never gone down."

"As for whether this kind of staircase exists, maybe I have heard of it. But no one knows so far. I have only heard of it, but I have never seen it with my own eyes."

Hearing this, Zhang Defu and the two also understood.

So, the three of them plucked up their courage again and carefully went down the stairs.

At this moment, the corridor was extremely quiet, and the people in the Exploration Bureau were holding their breath for fear of missing a shot.

level one!
Second floor!
Finally, Feng Taichu and the others walked down three flights of stairs.

When they came to the corner of the fourth floor, Feng Taichu was also cautious, using his flashlight to look at the position where he had carved the mark before.

But when he saw clearly what was happening on the wall, Feng Taichu himself was stunned.

hiss!
That's right!

The cross mark is still there!

This mark was carved by his own hands, so he could recognize it at a glance.

At the same time, after seeing this mark, both Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu were stunned on the spot!
Because this means that they really walked through here just now!
Moreover, they have been spinning in circles since they entered the corridor!
Realizing this situation, both Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu were stunned.

At the same time, everyone in the Exploration Bureau also felt their scalps numb.

"The marks are really still there! They keep running in circles!"

"What kind of staircase is this? Doesn't it mean that if you continue going down, you can enter the entrance of the tomb?"

"In this case, they couldn't have accidentally entered a special space, right?"

"Impossible! There is no such thing as parallel space!"

"Who said it doesn't exist? What if it does exist? And they have even encountered ghosts and zombies before. What happened can't be explained?"

"Perhaps our previous atheism was all false!"

Collapse space?
At this moment, Feng Taichu also felt that his mind was buzzing. Is there really a folding space in this world?
If you think about it carefully, even ghosts and zombies have appeared in the tombs of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, and it seems reasonable to expect some more bizarre things to happen.

But how is this possible?
Logically speaking, the people of the Qin Dynasty were able to build strange tombs and use various mechanisms to create killing situations.

However, it is impossible for them to touch such taboo things?

As for Xu Bowen, would he be able to create a folding space and then create such a terrifying folding staircase?
"impossible!"

"This is too exaggerated!"

Thinking of the key point, Feng Taichu shook his head repeatedly.

Both Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu couldn't believe that the staircase they walked into was actually the kind of thing that involved folding space.

Thinking of the key point, several people looked at the marks they had carved before.

Feng Taichu carefully approached it and shined a flashlight on it, trying to find some differences.

Now he would rather believe that there is an unknown thing in the corridor, following them at any time to play tricks, rather than believe in the existence of folding space.

However, when he carefully examined every line on the mark, he found that they were exactly the same as what he had drawn before.

Even, in order to identify the mark, he deliberately made a one centimeter flaw in the last stroke, but it was exactly the same.

Then there is only one explanation!

They had indeed been going in circles, and he had just drawn this mark himself!
But thinking of this, Feng Taichu's thoughts became even more confused.

What exactly is going on?

At this time, Liu Fuxiang couldn't help but said: "Could it be that we have really broken into the folding space?"

After hearing his words, Feng Taichu shook his head firmly.

If there are any ghosts and monsters in this world, the most they can be is Bai Qi's zombie transformation.

But even if it is a corpse transformation, there is a reason.

So far, he has never encountered a corpse transforming for no reason, or a ghost breaking a wall.

In addition, the Chi Gu, Fire Ladybug, Half Tank and Blood Corpse King they encountered before were all created by the tomb guard.

But what if the tombkeeper could create a folding space?
He doesn't believe it!
As long as it is a human being, it is impossible to affect the spatial pattern. That is simply a fantasy.

Thinking of this, Feng Taichu shook his head and said: "It can't be a folding space. If the tomb guard can even create a folding space, why did he create the zombie-turned-zongzi and those mechanisms?"

"He put the Mausoleum of the First Emperor directly into the folding space from the beginning. Isn't that okay?"

"So I think we must have encountered a mechanism that we cannot understand for the time being, or we have been poisoned!"

"But even if it's due to poisonous gas, this shouldn't happen, right?"

Having said this, Feng Taichu fell into confusion again.

The blinding sandalwood was created by his Feng family lineage using the art of furnace fire for hundreds of years.

It can basically restrain nearly a hundred types of poisonous gases in the world.

Could it be that there is really a poison in this world that even the Feng clan cannot handle?
But if it is an agency, what is the principle behind it?
Thinking of this, Feng Taichu decided to give it another try.

So, he quickly said to Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu: "You guys wait here and don't move where you are."

"I'll go down and walk around again. If I can get down from it, then we're really going in circles."

"But if I don't see you, it means that I have entered the next pattern."

"When the time comes, I will call you from below, and let's continue going down!"

After hearing Feng Taichu's words, Liu Fuxiang was about to stop him, but then he saw the determination in Feng Taichu's eyes.

There is no other way now.

In fact, he was planning to do this from the beginning, but what he was worried about was that they might really get separated, which would be even more troublesome.

But in the current situation, perhaps this is the only way to verify the details of the agency.

Thinking of this, Feng Taichu gritted his teeth, made up his mind and walked down the stairs.

Step by step, his eyes couldn't help but look back, and Liu Fuxiang and Liu Fuxiang were always on top, never leaving the range of one meter.

While thinking about it, Feng Taichu walked down two floors.

Soon, he came to the corner of the third floor, and then he walked down cruelly.

hiss!
In an instant, Feng Taichu shined his flashlight at the corner of the stairs below him, but the next second he took a breath of cold air.

"What's going on?!"

"In the beginning!"

Suddenly, Zhang Defu and the other two were stunned on the spot.

At this moment, Feng Taichu was seen standing at the corner of the stairs he had just come down, and Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu were standing in the corridor below him at the corner.

Seeing this scene, Feng Taichu still didn't believe in evil and walked up the stairs.

However, after he walked back three flights of stairs, he looked up and saw Zhang Defu standing at the top of the stairs above him.

Seeing this scene, Feng Taichu was completely stunned.

What's happening here? !

At the same time, everyone in the Exploration Bureau also noticed this strange scene.

"What exactly is going on?"

"You said it's not a folding space? How can this staircase be seamless?"

"Now I believe it, this is definitely a folding space!"

"Wait a minute, I seem to have guessed what's going on. I've seen this kind of staircase issue before when I was studying abroad, but that's just a hypothesis!"

At this time, Feng Taichu had also walked down the stairs, and Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu couldn't bear it anymore and immediately started asking.

"Taichu, is this really not a folding space?"

But after hearing his words, Feng Taichu shook his head.

impossible!
This is definitely a mechanism!
There can be no so-called folding space in this world!

But if it’s not folding space, what is the specific principle?
In this case, how do they crack it?

etc.
At this moment, Feng Taichu suddenly seemed to think of something.

But then he frowned again, because he had thought of this possibility before. It was a mechanism pattern recorded in the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Map.

But from the beginning to the end, even people from the Feng family did not believe that it was an organization that could really exist.

Therefore, that kind of mechanism is only recorded in the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Map, but there is no specific method of building or cracking it.

Because of this, Feng Taichu didn't think about it.But the situation before us is exactly the same as the mechanism recorded in the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Picture, which shows that that thing really exists!

However, this is too exaggerated, right?

"What's wrong Taichu?" At this moment, seeing Feng Taichu's changing expressions, Zhang Defu couldn't help but ask.

Gollum!

Hearing his voice, Feng Taichu came back to his senses, and then said: "This corridor seems to be a hanging soul ladder!"

what?
Hanging soul ladder?
After hearing Feng Taichu's words, Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu's expressions changed.

But they had never heard of the Suspended Soul Ladder, and then Zhang Defu quickly asked: "What do you mean, please tell me slowly!"

Feng Taichu nodded and recalled it carefully before saying, "I'm just guessing."

"When I was looking through the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Pictures before, I saw a mechanism pattern that appeared in large tombs during the Southern and Northern Dynasties!"

"That is an impossible mechanism. It refers to a mechanism formed by a total of four flights of stairs, with a total of 23 steps!"

"When these four floors of stairs are combined, they will form a quadrangular corridor with four [-]-degree corners."

"Because it is a continuous closed loop graph that starts with rising or falling, once you go up it, you will always go down it without going up or down!"

"But this so-called three-dimensional space cannot exist at all!"

"So even if it is recorded in the Bone Stealing Map of Coffin Mountain, our Feng clan can only treat it as a concept, and there is no specific construction or cracking method at all!"

"This is the so-called hanging soul ladder."

When saying these words, Feng Taichu's tone was extremely serious.

He simply couldn't believe the situation before him. After all, the Hanging Soul Ladder was only recorded in a few words in the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Map.

Moreover, people in the Feng family also felt that that was a pattern that did not exist.

Because this completely goes against mathematics and the concept of Qimen Escape Method.

This is a concept that can only exist in theory.

Like a Klein bottle or a Möbius strip.
At this time, after listening to Feng Taichu's explanation, Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu also fell into deep thought, but everyone in the exploration bureau started talking!

"Suspended Soul Ladder? What on earth does this mean?"

"No way, could the ancients still come up with mechanisms similar to three-dimensional folding space?"

"Wait. This sounds familiar?"

"It does sound familiar. Isn't this the so-called Penrose Stairs?"

"Professor Wang, what is the Penrose Staircase?"

"The so-called Penrose Staircase is an advanced mathematical concept from abroad. It is said that it can create a staircase that is composed of four superimposed stairs. It is always on the horizontal plane and has no concept of up and down, but it is impossible to get out!"

"I've heard of it too, but it's said to be a paradox! Just like the so-called Möbius strip, it's simply impossible to realize!"

For a moment, everyone in the exploration bureau was stunned, and Liu Fuxiang, who had been silent for a moment in the corridor, suddenly exclaimed: "I seem to remember what is going on!"

"When I had contact with foreigners before, we discussed a topic together!"

"Isn't this so-called soul-hanging ladder the Penrose ladder?"

what?
Penrose ladder?
Hearing his words, Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu both raised their heads instantly.

"Director Liu, do you know about this kind of agency?" Zhang Defu couldn't believe it. Could it be that there really is such an agency in the world?
But after hearing his inquiry, Liu Fuxiang shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, but I have discussed this paradox with foreigners from abroad."

"It is said that once this paradox is completed, a staircase can be constructed that theoretically always goes up or down but in fact is always on the horizontal line."

"Also, this staircase is also composed of 23 sections, but it can never be completed."

"Because this staircase is connected from end to end, but it makes you feel that you are always walking towards a certain height, but you just can't find the way out."

Having said this, Liu Fuxiang shook his head and said: "However, that subject is actually the same as the so-called Möbius strip. It is just an impossible paradox."

"It can only exist in theory, and so far, no one has been able to crack it and prove its existence with actual formulas!"

"Because, if we want to construct this kind of staircase, we have to calculate the different angles of each staircase, and the minimum deviation from the horizontal position is not even more than [-] micron!"

what?
Liu Fuxiang's words caused both of them to fall into a daze.

How can this be?

Based on what he said, it would be impossible for anyone to calculate that precise data in real life.

According to this statement, none of the scientific methods so far can achieve it.

It was even more impossible for the ancients at that time to do it.

Thinking of this, the three of them looked at the stairs in front of them again. Can anyone really build the Hanging Soul Staircase?

"Wait a minute. Taichu, you said before that there is a record of this kind of staircase in the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Picture?" At this moment, Zhang Defu suddenly spoke.

He seemed to have thought of something, and quickly asked Feng Taichu: "If you think about it carefully, where did the stairs recorded on the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Map appear?"

Zhang Defu felt that since it was recorded in the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Map, this pattern must have appeared before.

If it can be confirmed that it really happened, maybe we can find the person who built the stairs, or find a way to crack it.

Speaking of Feng Taichu, after hearing this, he also recalled it carefully.

The Soul-Hanging Ladder is indeed recorded on the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Map.

However, for the tombs where such mechanisms appeared, there are no detailed records of the tomb specifications.

Perhaps, it was because even the ancestors of the Feng family at that time felt that the Hanging Soul Ladder was a so-called fantasy!

However, after he recalled it carefully, he did remember where this kind of staircase had appeared!
"Southern and Northern Dynasties!"

"I remember the specific time it appeared during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It seemed to be in the tomb of Gao Yan, Emperor Xiaozhao of the Northern Qi Dynasty!"

"Southern and Northern Dynasties?"

"Emperor Xiao Zhao Gao Yan?"

After listening to Feng Taichu's words, Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu frowned.

They did not expect that the age of the tomb where the Hanging Soul Ladder appeared was so different from that of the First Emperor's Mausoleum.

The Southern and Northern Dynasties were an era that emerged from the Wei and Jin Dynasties after the Three Kingdoms. It played a connecting role in the changes in the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties.

However, there was a long gap between that dynasty and Qin Shihuang’s period. How could the hanging soul ladder that appeared in the Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum appear in the tombs of the Southern and Northern Dynasties?
The most important thing is that the year of that dynasty was very embarrassing.

It is not the ancient pre-Qin period, nor is it the era when technological power took off later.

So, how come there is a hanging soul ladder?

"wrong!"

But at this moment, Liu Fuxiang couldn't help but said: "Penrose Ladder, even the high-tech equipment used in modern society cannot accurately measure the gap of each step."

"If it were placed in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, who could accurately calculate this formula and even apply it to reality?"

After hearing his words, Zhang Defu and the other two nodded.

indeed.

The reason why they said that the Suspended Soul Staircase was impossible was because no one could accurately measure the gap between the stairs to that extent.

How could anyone in the Southern and Northern Dynasties achieve an achievement that was impossible to achieve even with modern equipment?
And if you want to build a real hanging soul ladder, you must not only accurately measure the data between the stairs to that extent, but also have a far superior understanding of astronomy, geography, and various institutional structures than ordinary people.

Let me ask, who in the world can be proficient in arithmetic and at the same time be as good as the Gongshu family in machine skills?

The world is so big, but it is impossible for such a person to exist.

If there were, that kind of person would have gone down in history long ago.

But during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was really no outstanding person to that extent. Even if we look at the 5000-year history of China, there is almost no such person.

Does not exist?

But just when he thought of this, Zhang Defu suddenly froze on the spot.

Sensing something unusual about him, Feng Taichu quickly looked over, and then he saw the former's pupils shrinking violently.

what happened again?
For a moment, he and Liu Fuxiang became worried.

This staircase is too weird, and from the moment they entered until now, they have encountered too many things that cannot be understood by common sense.

But just when they were confused, Zhang Defu suddenly said: "I think we seem to have missed someone."

"If I remember correctly, in the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there might be someone who could do this!"

what? !

After hearing Zhang Defu's words, Feng Taichu and the two looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, were there really people who could do this?

"Who?"

Thinking of the key point, Feng Taichu asked quickly, and Zhang Defu also said uncertainly: "The originator of arithmetic, Zu Chongzhi!"
