Chapter 923: Digging a grave and digging up a mechanical dog
The ancient town is at the foot of Daqing City, near the town monument.
Zhao Wende completely expected that the inspection work would go so smoothly and that the suspected ancient tomb would be found so quickly.
People and horses were quickly organized to excavate.
After half a month of excavation, the cemetery finally revealed its appearance - a three-meter-high gate appeared in front of everyone, magnificent and decorated with carved dragons and painted phoenixes.
The experienced Zhao Wende took a look and immediately judged that this was a prince's cemetery, but he didn't know which dynasty, generation or person it belonged to.
Just as they were discussing how to open the tomb door, Zi Yanling suddenly noticed a small house at the entrance of the tomb.
"Teacher Zhao, look, what is that?"
Following Zi Yanling's fingers, Zhao Wende and Zhuang Chengbi themselves also discovered the small house.
"Why do I feel a bit like a doghouse?"
As soon as Zhuang Chengbi finished speaking, Zi Yanling scolded him: "What doghouse? Who put a doghouse at the entrance of the cemetery? That's nonsense."
"Have you forgotten, didn't the old man say before that their ancestors once saw a dog or something like that at the entrance to the cemetery?"
"Impossible." Zi Yanling said, "Where did the mechanical dog come from in ancient times? The story must have been spread for a long time, and a fallacy has arisen. It may be just an ordinary dog with some myths and legends attached to it."
"Even if it's a myth or legend, it should be some kind of fairy dog or divine dog, right?"
Zi Yanling was too lazy to argue with Zhuang Chengbi, and squatted down with his teacher Zhao Wende to inspect the small room together.
This inspection was surprising, because they really discovered that there was actually a mechanical dog in this small house.
This dog even has mirrors than other mechanical dogs on the market. Its body is covered with thousands of tiny parts, just like a Gundam.
Zi Yanling's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it: "How is this possible?!"
"Holy crap!" Zhuang Chengbi said in surprise, "It can't be true?!"
"Impossible! Such a thing couldn't have existed in ancient times."
"I've seen all this before your eyes, and you still dare to say you don't?"
"Maybe modern people put it here."
Zhuang Chengbi was speechless: "Are you sure? We have just dug up this tomb, who put it in?"
Zi Yanling didn't know this either, so he could only ask his teacher Zhao Wende quietly.
Zhao Wende didn't know, so he said: "Get it out first and take a look before talking."
After a lot of effort, they finally got out this small mechanical dog that was about the same size as a normal dog.
Only then did they realize that although it looked small, it was actually very heavy, and several people couldn't lift it at all. Later, they had no choice but to demolish the house, and finally saw the complete picture of this mechanical dog.
I don’t know if it’s because the battery ran out or something else, but these dogs just lie there motionless.
Zhuang Chengbi reached out and touched it. The mechanical dog's ears were very flexible. Although it felt mechanically cold to the touch, its softness was actually as soft as a real dog's ears.
Of course, being able to achieve this level is also related to the densely packed small parts on the ears of the mechanical dog.
These parts are very small, about the size of a grain of rice.
"Zi Yanling, do you think it is possible to make such an exquisite mechanical dog on the market now?"
Zi Yanling did not dare to answer.
She didn't know if there was one on the market, but she had never seen it.
Everyone shined various lights on the mechanical dog and made various observations. They were all so surprised by the sophistication of this mechanical dog that they forgot what they were here for.
"My dear! I feel like this dog looks a bit like the Transformers seen in the movie?!"
"I think it's even more exquisite than Transformers. You can see the parts on it are very small. It takes a lot of work to make such a mechanical dog."
"It's a pity that it's just a model, otherwise..."
At this moment, what shocked everyone was that the mechanical dog actually moved.
A green halo appeared out of thin air above its head, followed by a mechanical voice: [Visible light source found, ready to recharge. ]
A percentage appeared in the halo, starting from zero and rising at a rapid rate.
It grew 10% in the blink of an eye, and then the mechanical dog moved.
It seemed like it was halfway through its life. It stretched out, moved around, and got its head up.
"Back off!"
Everyone was so frightened that they quickly backed away, fearing that this guy was something terrifying.
[Welcome A-chan, did you sleep well this time?] The machine voice continued to ask.
Robot dog Acan: [I slept very well, you woke me up, is the owner awake? 】
【No, we have visitors.】
The robot dog Acan looked at the people around him and found that these people were somewhat different from those he had recorded before, so he directly turned on the scanning mode and recorded again.
【Hello, humans, what are you doing here?】
He actually talked to them?! Zi Yanling pushed Zhuang Chengbi and asked him to talk.
Before Zhuang Chengbi could speak, Zhao Wende, who was taking the lead, said: "Hello, we are archaeologists and we discovered this place accidentally."
[Archaeologist?] The mechanical dog Acan tilted his head again, [Oh, I see, you are treating the master’s graveyard as an antique. Then you are wrong. The master is not dead, she is just asleep.
Waiting for someone to wake her up one day.]
Zhao Wende's pupils dilated instantly: "Wake up?! How long has your master been sleeping? When did she come from? Is she a fairy?"
[Yes, my master is a fairy. Her name is Gu Qingling. Do you know a person named Li Wenchong? Only he can wake up the master.] The mechanical dog was afraid that they didn't know which words it was, so it specially used the light source above its head to display it.
How are those words written?
It means that its owner comes from the Ming Dynasty and is a high-status princess who fell into a deep sleep because of the loss of her beloved.
The little master was afraid that the master would be lonely after sleeping for too long and suddenly wake up one day without knowing anyone, so he created it and arranged for it to come and guard the tomb.
When it was created, the little master was already very old and did not have time to send it to the cemetery, so it could only guard outside the cemetery.
The mechanical dog couldn't remember how long it had been guarding. It fell asleep and woke up again, fell asleep and woke up again. It had repeated this for countless years.
I don’t know if I can wait until that day.
[Although my body is made of space metal and is not afraid of wind, rain, sun and moon erosion, no one can guarantee that the parts on my body will never break. If I break, I will not wait until the owner wakes up.
Come here...] The mechanical dog showed a sad expression, [Then I won’t be able to accompany the owner.]
Was the ancient Ming Dynasty already so awesome? Was it already able to produce such a technologically advanced mechanical dog?!
Is this still the Ming Dynasty they knew?
Zhuang Chengbi saw that this mechanical dog was very kind and quickly asked a lot of questions.
Everyone started asking questions, wanting to know what the Ming Dynasty mentioned by the mechanical dog looked like.
Could it be that they misunderstood ancient times?
However, as the robot dog narrated, this technologically advanced Ming Dynasty was completely different from the Ming Dynasty they knew.
"What are you doing?! The Ming Dynasty unified the entire planet?! How is this possible?"
[That’s right! Although after the death of Emperor Mingguang, several princes were somewhat dissatisfied with the new emperor’s rule, but no matter how dissatisfied they were, it was still an internal struggle within the royal family and had nothing to do with most ordinary people.]
[As recorded in the Emperor's Book, ordinary people don't care who is the emperor above them; what they care about is who can make them live a good life.]
[Emperor Mingguang was a heroic and mighty great emperor. He had anticipated everything and made all arrangements. 】
