Chapter 313 Opening the Tomb Gate
Speaking of Snake King Erdan, he slid to the bottom of the rectangular hole, and the four monsters also slid in along the rope one after another! But they were all shocked by the unique and thick gray-black tomb door in front of them. Everyone stared blankly at the round tomb door.
The heavy tomb door, you looked at me, I looked at you, I was frozen there for a while, no one could think of any good solution.
Because the majestic Qinling Mountains are all granite mountains, Zhongnan Mountain in the Qinling Mountains is no exception! The door of the tomb is blocked by granite boulders, and the mountain is also made of granite. The mysterious tomb chamber is huddled in the mountain like a turtle, with no cracks in the middle.
Yes, what should I do?
Brother Qi raised his shovel and banged the boulder. The sound sounded extremely heavy, and its thickness was unpredictable. It would definitely not work if he tried hard! Even ordinary explosives couldn't beat it!
Because granite is extremely hard, the gray-black granite in front of you is a kind of biotite granite, which is the strongest and most stubborn of all granites. People also like to use granite skulls as a metaphor for a person's stubbornness!
This is the hardest rock in the world, with a compressive strength of 3,000 kilograms per centimeter! Damn it, nature has done some magic to give biotite granite such a hard quality. Is this a fucking joke?
And as early as thousands of years ago, the Egyptian pyramids far away on the Nile River also proved this!
This kind of igneous rock formed by the condensation of hot magma under the earth's surface is not as easy to weather as other rocks over the years. Its texture is extremely hard and dense, and its strength is extremely high. It cannot be corroded by any acid or alkali, and it is wear-resistant and does not absorb water.
, the color of the exposed rocks can be preserved for more than a hundred years, which is not easy to do.
As for ordinary rocks, senior tomb robbers have many methods. They will mash a large amount of highly corrosive sheep dung and eggs, add water to form a mud, and apply it layer by layer, corroding and cracking the layers. After the stone tomb door becomes thinner,
Cut it open directly or use a big tree trunk to break it... In short, there are a thousand ways...
But in this situation, even if the Earth Master or the Patriarch Zhu Qi Lian were present, he would frown and feel pain in his balls.
"What should we do about this?" Snake King Erdan touched his long gourd head, blinked his snake-like eyes, and looked at Brother Qi in confusion and said.
"Mom is so stupid, you have to ask me about everything! What should I do, cold salad?" Brother Qi didn't even move his head, and said angrily with a livid face.
"Then we have to find a way. It took us a lot of effort and we dug a full four feet deep. There were so many hard stone eggs inside that my hands were worn out before we dug out the door of the tomb!" Blood!
Dizi raised his hands, looked at the bloody hands in the broken gloves and said! Then he touched a handful of streaky pizza face, which had a thin layer of dust on it.
"Well, it took a lot of effort, but there will definitely be a way, but don't worry, brothers!" Seventh Brother took off his gloves, touched the cool granite tomb door with one big hand, and said with a frown.
"Why don't I ride a horse and go to Xi'an city to buy more explosives?" Xue Dizi asked Qi Ge tentatively.
"Haha, ordinary cowardly explosives have no effect on this thick and large Gouri granite, and high explosives are not available. In fact, that is not an option," Brother Qi said calmly.
"Why don't I go buy igniting gunpowder and try it?" Snake King Erdan said, being clever, shaking his long gourd head and offering suggestions!
The tough seventh brother almost fainted when he heard this. He was speechless on the spot and turned to stone in an instant! It took a long time for Ya Lao to recover and sighed, and said slowly: "Why does your uncle have such a bastard nephew like you?
The stone can't even be exploded with explosives, so what the hell is it going to do with gunpowder? It can only make this black stone even darker!"
Facts have proved that Brother Seven was right! Decades later, when Sun Dianying robbed Cixi's tomb in the Dongling Tomb, he couldn't even blow open the specially made artificial diamond wall with explosives! In the end, he had to get the high explosive "tnt"!
Make a small opening, not much bigger than a mouse hole.
Later, it took a lot of effort to make this irregular small opening into a hole larger than a dog hole, and the soldiers got in through it one after another like dogs.
"Then what should we do? Brother Qi"! Angel Yaomeier asked gently.
At this time, Starling, who showed off everywhere, also flapped his wings, pecked Brother Seventh's right ear with his curved and pointed beak, and imitated in a soft voice: "Then what should we do? Brother Seventh"!
Seventh Brother was feeling worried. Hearing this, he was amused. He waved his hand to take Eighth Brother off his shoulders and stroked him slowly.
The seventh brother touched the dark feathers of the starling and murmured to himself: "It won't work with the damn old method of sheep dung and eggs, nor with explosives, nor with fire. Expand the hole and then use big tree poles."
It’s not even possible to hit her, and my mother’s tomb is surrounded by mountains, so it’s really embarrassing for me!”
"It's really embarrassing for me!" This long paragraph is too long, and Black Myna only learns this sentence!
The atmosphere was originally dull, but this damned brother made everyone laugh! Even the frowning seventh brother couldn't laugh or cry! He threw the black guy to the ground, lit the big pipe, puffed up his cheeks, and started smoking.
"Damn it, I've never given up on the tomb I discovered. Why don't we use a stupid method?" Brother Qi looked at the gray-black granite tomb door and said firmly.
"What kind of stupid idea is that?" Angel Yaomeier subconsciously lifted her long hair and asked Qi Ge softly.
"In my opinion, we have to use the skill of a stonemason and slowly carve it out with a steel drill! It just takes a little effort and a little time!" Brother Qi looked at Angel Yaomei'er and said.
Everyone stayed there for a long time, all talking: "This is the only way"!
Then Seventh Brother took out three snow-white silver ingots, handed them to Xue Dizi and said, "You ride down the mountain and go to Xi'an City in the north to find the best old blacksmith in the northwest and get a hundred of the hardest steel drills.
!You must use the best steel, and don’t let the old blacksmith cut corners.”
Xue Dizi climbed up to the entrance of the cave along the rope, and without saying a word, he pulled up a sweaty horse. Sometimes he held it, and sometimes he rode it. He left Zhongnan Mountain that same day and galloped towards Xi'an City on horseback.
The six monsters in the cave began to take turns using hammers and steel drills to dig into the gray-black granite. For a while, the cave was very noisy. The six monsters took turns and kept doing it! By the time it got dark, seven of them had
The old steel drill bits I carried were all blunted and the tips could only be drilled in less than half a foot.
Three days later, Xuedizi came back, bringing back a hundred of the best steel drills made by old blacksmiths in the northwest, and joined the team that was chipping away at the wall to steal the treasure.
Maybe you guys think this method is too stupid! But in the late Qing Dynasty - 1905, when it was difficult to buy high explosives, tomb robbers could only use the old stonemason Yu Gong's mountain-moving style! 151
A lot of hard work! Tomb robbers have a lot of patience! Skills alone are not enough.
Many tomb robbers in history have successfully robbed a large tomb. In some cases, it often takes half a year or even two or three years to discover the underground tomb, conduct detailed surveys, open the tomb door and enter the tomb chamber, and then escape with the treasure.
Not considered fresh.
Like some big tombs, you are buried in the wilderness of the outskirts where people often come and go, with no obstructions around you! Grave robbers who are as greedy and patient as wolves, in order to hide their eyes from others, and to avoid the trouble of being arrested by the government, they will
Open up wasteland in autumn and plant tall crops such as corn or sorghum.
From the time the crops take root to the joints and grow, until the straw around the tomb grows taller and becomes a natural cover, they will build a temporary shed in the crop field to house food and accommodation.
In this way, we can live in a shed like a work shed and dig slowly! Take a rest when we are tired. Because it takes several years to build a large tomb, especially an imperial tomb, which usually takes more than ten years and even costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Manpower and the army are needed to maintain order and supervise the work. It has taken decades to build it carefully. So if you want to directly destroy the mausoleum and reach the tomb chamber in the shortest time, it is naturally not that simple! This is not like soaking a bowl of instant noodles in boiling water.
So simple.
Even modern tomb robbers need to search for information and secretly visit the people. After selecting and confirming the underground tombs, they still need to rely on electronic detectors, detonators, TNT high explosives, directional blasting bombs, Luoyang shovels, brushes, various excavation tools, and even
You need to use three horses or big trucks! It's not easy to do.
From this point of view, what seems to be the simplest stupid method actually has strong tomb robbing skills and the traditional spirit of Tufuzi! As for the small robbers who generally have no technical content, they can only sigh and let go when they see such an impregnable tomb door.
So the harder the bones are to gnaw, the more valuable they are. How can you expect to find gold, silver and jewelry in those small tombs that can be entered in a few clicks? So there is no free and quick lunch in the world. If you want to "get rich immediately, you will have money immediately"
If you want to get rich immediately, but you don’t want to work hard and sacrifice yourself! Then you need to wait until the Monkey Month and the Year of the Horse”! So there is no such thing as cheap!
In order to save time and energy, the seven monsters dug very small holes, and several people took turns to chisel inside every day. The chippings and debris were scattered everywhere, sparks kept coming, and the girls were left disgraced and their arms were sore and swollen.
, first the gloves were worn out, and then their hands were also worn out, making them bloody and bloody. The handle of the hammer and the steel drill were stained red, and the sissy flower girl groaned in pain like a porcupine.
After more than twenty days, they finally opened the door of the granite boulder tomb like pangolins! All the fine steel drills were scrapped and turned into a pile of scrap metal! The monkey-head hammer also deformed.
This granite cave can only accommodate one person, and one has to crawl forward on his stomach to slowly crawl in like a lizard!
This thin hole is as long as one foot and six, and naturally the boulder is also as thick as one foot and six, and the inside is about ten times larger than the outside, and it fits perfectly into the T-shaped tomb passage, just like a modern hand with its handle facing outward.
huge official seal.
The tomb passage inside is also made of granite, square in shape, and only about one meter high. The cave wall inside is so dark that the night pearl can only see within ten meters, and cannot see how deep it is! The seven monsters come one after another, slowly.
Chapter completed!
