Bloomberg shouted very loudly, and several of us couldn't hear it clearly, because the environment at that time was indeed very scary, and with the continuous explosions, the temperature was getting higher and higher. We wanted to leave here first. But Bloomberg was
He pulled his mustache hard and persuaded him to wait a little longer.
At this time, the aftermath of the explosion also disappeared, and I felt as if even the wall of the stone chamber behind me had been blown apart. Pengbo took a breath and nervously said to us: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! This
It’s probably a dust explosion!”
"What did you say?"
"Dust explosion!" Bloomberg turned his head and glanced. We were all hiding in the blind corner of another stone room. It was impossible to see the scene over there. He continued: "At the beginning, I really didn't think of this.
But the continuous explosions remind me of the dust explosions I heard before."
Bloomberg is a very comprehensive talent, outstanding in his skills, experience, and knowledge. He once went to college, and it was at that time that he came into contact with the matter of dust explosions.
The word dust explosion is not only very unfamiliar to me, but also to Xiaohu and others, because there is a long distance between the two industries. From an academic point of view, this word requires a long list of basic theories.
, but Bloomberg knows how much water is in our stomachs, and what he said is very simple and popular.
The so-called dust explosion is when flammable powdery mist-like objects reach a certain concentration and coverage in the air, and then encounter an open flame or high temperature. The dust near the fire source is rapidly baked into flammable gases. These flammable gases mix with the air.
, and then produce violent combustion. This part of the burning dust will continue to gasify other dust materials through temperature conduction and open flame radiation, causing a large area of combustion.
This kind of combustion is cyclic. The larger the circulation surface, the faster the reaction speed. When the combustion is intense to a certain extent, an explosion will form. This kind of explosion is also continuous. It is unclear how many times there will be.
When blocked, all the energy of the dust will be completely transformed, and the burning and explosion will stop.
Bloomberg said that such a dust explosion is very destructive. For example, in a flour mill workshop, half a bag of flour is evenly sprinkled in the air. If a dust explosion really occurs, the entire workshop will be blown into rubble.
"This is so fucking amazing." Ma Dad was scared after hearing this. He looked at his hands that were still stained with some dust and rubbed them vigorously.
To be honest, I also think this dust explosion is very mysterious. If people like Bloomberg hadn't been there to give a relatively reasonable explanation, we still don't know how we would make random guesses.
Thinking about what Bloomberg said, I recalled the mechanism triggered by sound wave sensing that I had seen at the end of Yuntan Peak. I am not sure that these things were discovered and used by Lu Xiuhuang. If it is true
If it is him, then this person may be more terrifying than we imagined. At least he is very advanced and will use unknown power to kill people.
We really don’t dare to run around. There is only one entrance connecting the stone chambers. If we want to retreat to a safer place now, we must pass through the entrance. But the explosion wave and heat generated by that explosion are too powerful and very uncomfortable.
Safe. The violent combustion and explosion drained the surrounding air. I felt a little breathless in the heat. Ma Dad was sweating and squatted in the corner without moving, just like taking a sauna.
Bloomberg said that such an explosion is related to the composition of the dust particles, which are easily oxidized and charged with static electricity. Dust with relatively small particles burns and explodes violently and lasts for a long time. I don’t know what the composition of the dust in that stone chamber is.
, but after the last explosion passed, it became much quieter there, and there was no further explosion sound. The explosion is a state of burning to the extreme, because there is nothing else to burn inside the stone chamber, so after the explosion,
The burning also ended.
Taking this opportunity, we retreated to the earliest short passage in one breath, and several of us greedily breathed in the cold but abundant air. The heat in our bodies gradually dissipated, and we felt chilly after standing for a while. At this time,
It is almost certain that violently breaking open the gate is a very unwise choice, and it will trigger some changes within the mountain, which is very detrimental to us.
Slight air convection gradually refilled the consumed air, and the temperature in the stone room gradually dispersed. It is no longer clear how the mechanism of the dust explosion was triggered just now. It may have been accidentally triggered by the dead man.
, it may be that we people accidentally touched it. No one dared to take a step further. The two guys with equipment were hanging here, and the monk was also injured. Mustache and Jiang Chen looked at each other silently, Jiang Chen
Chen Chen went over by himself to check the situation.
After a while, he came back and nodded to indicate that it was safe inside. Then he turned around and led the way. The people behind us almost walked in his footsteps, for fear of taking a wrong step and touching the mechanism that might be triggered at any time.
Cause dust explosion.
The stone room where the main explosion took place was originally very empty, but now it felt even more unrecognizable. Several unfinished stone statues were directly blown off. As for the guy, he really didn't leave any traces.
, we only found an iron drill in a corner and some odds and ends.
"The murals..." Bloomberg looked at the four walls with great heartache: "They are all destroyed..."
"It's good to be alive. Lao Peng, you should be here to burn incense and pay homage. Do you still feel sorry for these paintings?" Ma Dad looked at the broken stone statue, but his hands no longer dared to be so weak.
The murals were completely destroyed, and this stone chamber lost the value of staying here. But I know that no matter what happens here, unless everyone is dead, it is impossible for Mustache to retreat from the original path. Jiang Chen leads the way again,
After he walked for a while, we followed him.
In the next stone chamber, the murals are still not finished, but the murals in the first stone chamber were destroyed, which means that a large part of the information is missing.
However, it was in this stone chamber that Peng Bo's expression was shocked again. It can be said that the murals here describe some of Lu Xiuhuang's experiences after he entered the Xixia court, which we have always been paying close attention to.
That Taoist priest (probably Lu Xiuhuang himself) has become the most important figure in the mural. He has a transcendent status and is worshiped by some people. Later, he received the attention of Ning Ming and worshiped him as his teacher.
Bloomberg may also know some of the inside information, so he quickly understood the content of the mural. Some of the subsequent scenes can be said to carry very real information, including road construction and the royal family building large-scale construction. And looking further down,
We discovered that there were five or six consecutive paintings in the mural, which were about a man with a long beard and a white face, leading people into an old forest.
"This is Shi Pan? Are they in Kaiyang Old Forest?"
We knew these things, but we really didn’t expect them to appear in the content of the mural. Mustache’s attention was not on the mural. He and Jiang Chen were alone, closely watching the subtle changes around them. Ma Dad, I, and the monk
, I couldn’t help but be carried away bit by bit by the content in the mural, and watched it with Bloomberg.
Some paintings in the middle have fallen off because they are not protected by oil, and they are very blurry. Bloomberg is looking carefully, trying to see some information from the remaining paintings, but I don't have so much patience, and my eyes skip over them continuously.
These fragmentary paintings. But when I saw a relatively complete painting not far away, my eyes immediately stopped.
The centerpiece of this painting is a Taoist priest standing in front of a coffin, and there is a hole in the coffin.
"This is an empty tomb!" I was shocked in my heart. It is impossible for a mural to completely convey the scene at that time, but a few very important links can give me a rough idea. This is undoubtedly Du Qingyi's most important work.
The empty tomb I talked about first! I always thought that the empty tomb without an owner was discovered and opened by Du Qingyi and others in the last century. However, the scene of the empty tomb appears on the murals, which means that
Lu Xiuhuang had already understood all this. He had been to the empty tomb himself.
I immediately looked at the next mural. The characters on the mural had no names, but their features were very obvious. They had appeared in previous paintings, and they could be clearly distinguished here. I saw the characters in the mural.
The Taoist priest was meditating with his eyes closed in the darkness, while the man with a long beard and a white face raised a knife behind his back.
In the third mural, a man with a long beard and a white face appears again. His movements are very obscene, as if he has stolen a stone from a closed room. There are many such stones under his feet.
"It's the wheeling stone!" I was surprised again. In our understanding, there are two sets of wheeling stones. One set was taken by Lu Xiuhuang, and the other was given to Shi Pan as a blank check.
This seems very contradictory. Judging from the content on the front of the mural, this man with a long beard and a white face has been to Kaiyang Old Forest, so he must be Shi Pan. He has a set of wheeling stones, and he came to steal the wheeling stones. What he stole was the road.
A repairman?
The information about the major event of the bronze medal basically comes from two parts, one part belongs to Lu Xiuhuang's handwritten notes, and the other part belongs to Shi Pan's relics. However, there is a big discrepancy between these two parts of information. In later generations, due to the lack of third-party information,
Therefore, many people are hesitant, not sure which part of the information is credible.
I really wanted to continue reading, but the murals at the back were incomplete again, so I had no choice but to wait patiently for Bloomberg. We spent a long time analyzing the murals, and by Bloomberg we had finished reading all the murals in this room.
At that moment, Mustache, who had been watching the surrounding situation, asked: "Is there a final result?"
I know that the final result of his question is undoubtedly the final whereabouts of Lu Xiuhuang. Is this mysterious Taoist priest dead or has another ending?
"The mural is not finished." Peng Bo glanced at the entrance of the next stone chamber: "I hope there is more content in the stone chamber. If there is, we can deduce Lu Xiuhuang's final whereabouts."
