Indiana Jones

Chapter 286: A Silver Lining (01)

According to the woodcutter's inference, these bronze mirrors must have a stable light source if they want to play the role of light collectors, otherwise, no matter how big the mirror is, it will become a decoration because there is no light, and it is impossible to exist in this huge underground space With a stable and long-lasting light source, no matter whether it is the ancients or the modern people, it is impossible to make a problematic light source that lasts for thousands of years. This is not a small problem for people of any era, unless they use large The power of nature, the only eternal light source in this world is the sun, at least for human beings, it is eternal, even if there is a day of destruction, it will be a long process for human beings, so there must be a relationship with the outside world. The connected places can refract light in and reflect it through these copper mirrors to form a stable, simple and practical lighting system that illuminates the entire imperial mausoleum.

This is the way out that the woodcutter said, as long as they can find those light holes, they will have a chance to get out.

After listening to his explanation, everyone's already desperate mood became excited again. After all, this is a way, and it can be regarded as somewhat hopeful.

"Old man, it's not impossible to say so, but what if those with small holes can't get out?" Zhao Chenggong was still a little worried.

"You crow's mouth, can you say something auspicious? How do you know that the hole is small if you don't see it? Besides, you don't use your brain, we can see such a bright reflective hole below, can we do it?" Si Xuanyi scolded, although he said so, but he really didn't have a clue in his heart.

"I mean if, if you understand?" Zhao Chenggong said while waving the dragon nail in his hand to beat the giant catfish that rushed up.

"Even if we really have a chance... can we hold on until then?" Li Siming said panting, "There are more and more of these things, and the waves are bigger than before. There are dozens of meters, during this period of time...anything may happen, we may fix everything, or...all of them will die."

"As long as you have life, don't give up." Si Xuanyi flipped a salamander that jumped on him, "His grandma, in order to survive, let's do our best!"

"His grandma, why did he only bite my leg?" Zhao Chenggong kicked and beat him, his injured leg was bitten again, this time it was bitten harder, and it was torn apart abruptly There were a few big cuts, dripping with blood, and those things became even more crazy after seeing the blood again. There were at least three or four of them scurrying around him, which made him overwhelmed. The weapons in their hands are not good now, and it is too sleepy to kill these things, so they can only delay the time as much as possible to ensure that they will not be dragged into the water by these things. No one knows how long it will take to get out of this place, but now With hope, you can hold on to the hope of living for one more second...

"Why hasn't Lin Feng come up yet?" Si Xuanyi asked while getting rid of the entanglement of those things.

But no one paid attention to him, everyone was so preoccupied with fighting for their lives that they had no time to care about others.

"Damn it!" Li Siming was thrown into the water by a wave without paying attention, and when he struggled to float up, the dead tree trunk had already drifted away.

This is the end, Li Siming feels desperate. In this environment, if there is no shelter for the tree trunk, he may not last long before he is finished...

Seeing those things rushing forward one after another, Li Siming felt a little desperate. Seeing the huge black shadow hovering nearby, he didn't know which one to hit for a while, there were too many, just when he didn't know what to do. Suddenly he was dragged into the water, drank a few sips of water in panic, but soon he found that his leg was not bitten, but was grabbed by something, and he found a dark place when he looked closely. There was a figure underwater, and that figure grabbed his calf, and he recognized that person as Lin Feng in the next second.

Lin Feng let go of him and gestured for him to follow him. At this time, Li Siming saw the huge shadows running around in the nearby water. Lin Feng led him to shuttle among these things, which made him terrified, but those things Apart from running around, they rarely attack them, like a group of headless flies running around.

The two of them had been diving in the water for an unknown amount of time, but when Li Siming was so suppressed that he almost passed out, Lin Feng took off his clothes and rushed out of the water. He coughed violently, and at the same time found that the dead tree was right next to them. Not far ahead, I really don't know how Lin Feng can tell the direction in this dark underwater.

"Go up quickly." Lin Feng pushed him towards the dead tree, then turned over and dived into the water again.

"Hurry up..." Si Xuanyi dragged Li Siming onto the dead tree, and another wave swept over him and threw him off the other side.

Everyone was in a hurry to deal with it, their lives were hanging by a thread, the waves were getting bigger and bigger, but they had no time to take care of those things that came to attack them, they could only cling to the tree trunks and fight against the huge waves, as long as they didn't get washed down, they didn't get caught. If you die in the water, you will die on this tree trunk.

Zhao Chenggong hugged the tree trunk and began to vomit: "...I can't fucking stand it..."

"It's no harm if the waves are big." Si Xuanyi tied Li Siming in front of him to the tree trunk with a rope, and then threw the other end to the woodcutter. The woodcutter wrapped around his legs and fell into the water. It surprised others.

"No matter how big the head is, it will be flattened. What's the good?" Zhao Chenggong's face was pale, and the water temperature was too low, so he couldn't keep his eyes on it.

"Those things are also afraid of the waves, and several of them have been knocked out over there." Si Xuanyi fixed himself, "Pull the old man up..."

The three of them pulled the tight rope together, and soon the woodcutter was pulled up, and the woodcutter was dragging another person, which was Lin Feng. This guy was already in a coma, as if he was seriously injured.

"My head...was hit by something." The woodcutter gasped as he lay on the tree trunk.

"Old man, the water is almost at the top..." Zhao Chenggong pointed to the huge mirror above his head and said.

"I...it's fine." Lin Feng sat up suddenly, "I was dragged too deep by that thing just now, and the water pressure was so strong that I became dizzy."

"Look for it, there should be a hole for lighting near here, hurry up..." The woodcutter got up and stared at the top of his head, and the others followed suit with flashlights to shine where the bronze mirror could not shine.

The roof of the cave is full of roots and some unknown plants, it seems that this place is not far from the outside surface.

"Find it quickly, if the water reaches the top we will be ruined." The woodcutter said while shaking the flashlight.

"It's so big, how do you find it?" Seeing the rapid rise of the water level, Zhao Chenggong was flustered. He didn't know what to do, let alone where to find it.

"Don't panic. The more you get to this time, the less you should panic. Success or failure is a matter of one action. There is only one chance for life and death. Everyone seize it." Si Xuanyi said loudly, "Siming and Chenggong look at the water and buy us some time , don’t care about the head and the tail, the old man, Lin Feng and I are looking for the entrance of the cave.”

Although Si Xuanyi is not as capable as the rest of the team in all aspects, but he can stabilize the situation at critical moments, play the greatest role, stabilize the morale of the army, and rationally deploy personnel to deal with the immediate crisis. One of the main reasons why he is the leader of the team is that the more he is awake when others panic, the more he can see the critical moment of the problem and the more accurate he can make an accurate judgment. place of comparison.

Under such circumstances, many people are completely out of control. Anxiety and fear of death make them unable to do anything. They really need someone to wake them up. Only in this way can they use their best ability to deal with the situation in front crisis.

They discussed while shaking their flashlights. If it is such a large lighting system, it is impossible for only one lighting hole to communicate with the outside. Although time is tight, they can roughly see the row of large mirrors. There are at least a dozen sides. If you want to ensure that light shines in and reflects off at all times, then these holes must correspond to the position of the sun at the corresponding time. If you look for it according to this law, you must first figure out these The reflection law of the bronze mirror is to find the position of the hole through the angle of inclination.

"Use the flashlight to reflect it." Si Xuanyi said loudly.

At this time, the water level has risen to less than ten meters from the top of the cave, and there is not much room left on the vaulted top of the cave. If it continues to rise like this, they will soon have no place to breathe, and then die due to lack of oxygen. hang up...

But following the direction of the flashlight refraction, they found that there was nothing there, and soon they understood that it was still a matter of angle, this could not be done in one go, it needed to keep trying, but they probably ran out of time , after several failed attempts, they found that they were not far from the top of the cave.

"It's over now." Zhao Chenggong was completely desperate, and he didn't even pay attention to a big catfish that jumped at him. If Lin Feng hadn't thrown out the steel drill in his hand and pierced the head of the catfish, his head would have been bitten directly. Lost.

"Turn on the brightest flashlight, they will chase the light..." Lin Feng said weakly.

But at this moment, they found that their hands could reach the top of the cave, and they had no chance to struggle anymore. Perhaps in a few tens of seconds, they would be completely submerged underwater, the oxygen in their bodies would be exhausted, and they could only Welcome to the last moment of this life...

"Damn it...it will be planted in this place." Si Xuanyi cursed in his heart, this time he was really desperate, suddenly he felt a pain in the back of his head, and his head hit the wall of the cave, it seems that the water is bigger than he imagined Sooner, the surging water flooded his mouth and nose, and he struggled violently in the darkness. His heart was filled with despair, and the oxygen in his lungs was quickly exhausted...
