Chapter 313 Technology that even modern times cannot achieve

If you watch carefully.

It can be found that these stones are all angular.

And it is definitely not an independent piece there, it is similar to a large group of stones scattered around.

Except for some square stones.

These stones have specially carved grooves in certain places.

When you see the fine processing technology, you can tell at a glance that it is not simple.

Just like what some experts in materials science said.

“The materials of these stones are all andesite with a Mohs hardness of above 8.

Unlike ordinary rocks, these stones have one characteristic: they are extremely hard.

To process such a stone is not a very simple matter even with today's technology. "Ye Zhen said truthfully.

“In addition to the processing technology, there is also the stone transporting technology.

There is another very important question, which is where these stones came from.

And these stones are not spliced ​​together.

Rather, each stone is a complete and independent individual.

Some of the boulders weigh hundreds of tons.

If this is really the civilization built by the Inca Empire civilization.

So where did they get these stones? "Ye Zhen asked a question.

Where does the raw material of Puma Pungu’s stone come from?

In fact, this is an issue that everyone easily ignores.

The audience only noticed this after hearing Ye Zhen's words.

Before, everyone only focused on the processing technology of these stones.

No attention was paid to the origin of these stones.

The audience said at this time.

"Aren't these rocks nearby?"

"Each of these stones looks very heavy."

"Didn't Teacher Ye just say that some rocks weigh hundreds of tons?"

"Did it rely on manpower to move it up?"

Obviously, the easiest thing for everyone to think of is to rely on manpower to carry it.

But this is obviously impossible.

Some historians have begun to speculate.

"Could it be mined locally?"

"For such a huge stone, and quarrying, it should be based on the principle of proximity."

"Otherwise, this is a place at an altitude of 3700 meters."

The same goes for archaeologists, some of whom are knowledgeable about megalithic civilizations.

To this day, it remains a mystery how some of the boulders were moved.

"Is it like a boulder on Easter Island, dragged little by little by a rope?"

"Make wood into rolling logs for transportation?"

"It's better to cut the stone into small pieces and then piece them together."

"Using the buoyancy of rivers and water?"

Obviously their previous archaeological experience was not put to good use.

Some materials scientists heard it was andesite.

His eyes were even more shocked.

"Is this actually andesite?"

"Even with our modern technology, it is difficult to process."

"Because even we can use diamonds to polish it bit by bit."

"It would be incredible if this was really made by the ancients of the Inca Empire."

"No way, it's completely impossible to do."

Professor Zhou was just thinking about, "The source, transportation and processing of stone raw materials."

Old Wu let his mind recall all his knowledge.

"How on earth could such a huge stone, and weigh so much, be made possible?"

Si Xiaoping has knowledge about megalithic civilization, and of course he understands how difficult it is to achieve this Puma Pungu.

Because even the most famous Easter Island statues and Egyptian pyramids are now.

There are various theoretical possibilities.

But this Puma Pungu is just where it is, in the Andes Mountains at an altitude of 3700 meters.

It’s already prohibitive.

Si Xiaoping felt that this had subverted any previous understanding he had.

"The Egyptian pyramids are still on the plains, and we can rely on various methods."

"But Puma Pungu is on a high mountain. What can we do?"

Ning Xiu thought about modern technology and technology, "I just thought about it, even with our current technology and technology."

"It's quite difficult to move some stones like this."

Song Xuan replied: "It's impossible, Captain Ning. Is it difficult for us to do it with modern technology and technology?"

Obviously Song Xuan couldn't believe this fact.

Professor Yan Xin immediately thought of a possibility.

"It's what psykers do."

"That must be the case."

I don’t know why Professor Yan Xin had such an idea in his mind.

Professor Yan Xin even felt that Yuren had done this.

Although there was no evidence, his intuition and sixth sense told him so.

The camera turned back to Ye Zhen.

Photographed by the on-site cameraman, Ye Zhen looked even more handsome and handsome.

Under the illumination of the light, Ye Zhen appeared to be in high spirits.

Ye Zhen shook his head, "Everyone obviously doesn't understand how difficult this is.

Because according to local research.

The source of the raw materials of Puma Pungu stone has always been a problem.

Because in the Andes Mountains, there is no andesite around here at all.

Even if it is a bit scattered, there is no andesite that can meet such huge processing.

Finally, where was the source of raw materials for these stones discovered? Ye Zhen paused at this time, "In a quarry more than 200 kilometers away."

Andesite in a huge open quarry there.

It is the same stone used in the Puma Peng ancient ruins at an altitude of 3700 meters.

You heard it right, this stone comes from a quarry 200 kilometers away. "Ye Zhen said with a smile.

"In 200 kilometers of open-pit quarries.

Some local researchers are also very curious.

This huge quarry has obviously been used a long time ago.

But looking at the history of the Inca Empire, there are some buildings nearby.

However, no traces of mining of these stones were found.

This is obviously a very strange thing.

Because there are so many stones, they must be used to build some huge building.

But no such building was found in their records or around them.

There are no buildings matching a similar description.     Because the amount of stone used is very large.

And it has also become an unsolved mystery in that place.

Even after the megalithic ruins of Puma Pungu were discovered.

No one connected the two places.

I only knew the origin of the raw material of this stone after a scholar accidentally tested it.

Only then did I discover that those andesite stones had gone to the Puma Peng ancient ruins. "

But here comes another problem.

This is not a distance as short as 20 meters or 200 meters.

But it's a place 200 kilometers away, and you have to know how to carry such a huge stone.

It's not a simple matter.

And even if you can carry such a huge stone, it's not over once you reach your destination.

why?

Because this megalithic site is on a mountain range 3700 meters above sea level!

It needs to be carried up from the ground!

These two difficulties are indispensable and neither one of them can be achieved.

None of these stones can appear in the current place of Puma Pungu.

After Ye Zhen said this, everyone knew what a miraculous place Puma Penggu was.

The audience was now looking at Ye Zhen in stunned silence.

I didn't expect a stone ruin to look so ordinary.

It actually contains such incredible things.

If ordinary people see these stones, they will just think that these stones are square.

It looks so strange that you would not think of anything behind the stone.

"My God, the stone needs to be extracted from a quarry and transported to the mountains."

"How was this done, and was this something the Incas could have done in the Stone Age?"

"Could it be said that they are also Incas who have mastered witchcraft?"

"If you are a descendant of the Yin Shang Dynasty, it is not impossible to master witchcraft."

However, if the Incas had really mastered some witchcraft back then, they would not have been destroyed.

Although some historians and archaeologists do not know much about these aspects.

But they were greatly shocked.

"My house is being renovated recently, but some cement and sand have already made me very anxious."

"So many stones were moved to Puma Pungu."

"What is this place used for? Sacrifice?"

Some people in the architecture and civil engineering departments began to feel uneasy.

Because they know that even modern machinery.

It is also impossible to do these things.

"Impossible! Even some of the most advanced load-carrying vehicles cannot do such a thing."

"Although the load capacity is hundreds of tons, it is not difficult for some very large trucks."

"But it's 3700 meters above sea level, and these cars can't get there at all!"

Even using modern technology.

Trucks with a load capacity of more than 100 tons are still very rare.

Especially a stone that weighs hundreds of tons as a whole.

But there are still ways to move it in modern times.

However, even if it is moving, some local lines and road conditions must be taken into consideration.

This truck can carry 100 tons of cargo without any problem.

But some roads may not be able to bear such weight.

So this transportation also depends on where it is being transported.

Even if modern technology can handle this aspect, it is useless.

Because the stone will eventually need to be moved to a height of 3700 meters.

These trucks simply cannot do it.

Even said that.

“With today’s technology, I can’t imagine how this can be achieved.”

"That's right. Even if the customer overcomes many difficulties, how will he carry the stone up the mountain when it reaches the bottom?"

"This is an impossible task for modern engineering!"

These civil engineering experts are crazy.

I thought of countless possibilities, but I couldn't figure out how to accomplish this.

You must know that this is considered based on modern technology.

If it were the Incas more than 2,000 years ago, how could they do this?

Professor Zhou also realized, “We have underestimated this place.”

Old Wu nodded, "Is it possible to use this rolling log method?"

Si Xiaoping said from the side: "Generally, if you want to move such a huge boulder, it would be in the primitive era."

"There are only a few ways."

"The first is to use the principle of rolling wood to move it bit by bit."

"The second is to use buoyancy and water flow to transport."

"Or you can use ropes, mixing wheels and other devices to slowly pull it up."

But Si Xiaoping knew that these methods were just guesses, and there was no way to prove that they might actually succeed.

In the 749 game, Song Xuan covered her mouth with a look of surprise on her face.

"Captain Ning, this is really difficult to achieve even with modern technology."

Ning Xiu smiled and said, "I knew what Consultant Ye said was not that simple."

The civilization of this stone is a stage in human development that cannot be ignored.

When he saw this, Professor Yan Xin confirmed his thoughts even more.

"It must be a feathered person who can fly, except for the feathered person."

"What else could carry such a stone at that time!" Professor Yan Xin confirmed his intuition more and more.

But some researchers present said: "There is nothing wrong with Professor Yan Xin."

"Isn't this feathered man too outrageous?"

But they couldn't imagine how such huge stones were transported to this place.

I only saw Ye Zhen starting to explain.

“I know a lot of people have some speculation.

Guess based on some sites that have been unearthed before and some of the craftsmanship possessed by our ancients.

How did the ancient Inca people transport these stones from the Puma Peng ancient site?

The simplest method is the log rolling method. Use trees to make rolling logs, and then slowly roll some stones over.

But everyone has to think about it, in the Andes Mountains at an altitude of 3700 meters.

But there aren't even any bigger trees, and the environment is very harsh.

As you can see from the pictures, the surrounding environment is very open.

There aren't any trees or anything like that.

Therefore, if you want to use trees as rolling logs, you need to make these rolling logs from other places.

Then you can use it again, which is simply not worth the gain.

Even if there are enough trees around, the stones after being transported.

How to carry it to the mountain? "Ye Zhen's words directly denied this assumption.

The log-rolling method is obviously impossible.
