Qin Yu looked at Professor Wang. Everyone had expected that there would be mercury in the underground palace, so everyone had discussed it before. If they encountered a place with mercury and couldn't speak while wearing a gas mask, then use
Pen on paper writing communication.
Otherwise, if they could speak, these three professors would have exclaimed in surprise at this moment. After all, under the underground palace, there is a mercury stream that is so wide that it is not even inferior to a real river. No one would have seen it.
When we arrived, we were all shocked beyond measure and found it hard to calm down.
Whoosh!
The first person to take out a pen and paper was Professor Qi. Professor Qi took off his backpack, took out a pen and paper from it, scrawled a line of words on the paper, and then handed it to Qin Yu.
"The length and width of this mercury are unknown, but we don't know how deep it will be?"
This is the question written by Professor Qi on the paper. After Qin Yu glanced at it, he stood up and walked to the bank of the Shuiyin River. Professor Wang and the others also followed. When they walked to the river, everyone felt this even more.
Looking at the vastness of the Milky Way, I also discovered that this Milky Way is not forbidden, but flows slowly.
It's just that because the mercury flows very gently, you can't find it at all if you don't look carefully.
Qin Yu stared at the mercury for a while, while Professor Zhang on the side took out a bundle of special measuring ropes from his bag. This kind of measuring rope has a length scale on the rope, and one end of the rope
, it is holding the same heavy object.
After untying the measuring rope, Professor Zhang threw one end of the rope into the mercury. There was only a plop sound as the rope quickly submerged under the river surface and continued to sink.
Everyone just watched the measuring rope being pulled into the river in circles. Seeing that there was not much of the measuring rope left, everyone's faces were full of shock, including Qin Yu.
In the end, only the last section of the measuring rope was left. If a worshipper hadn't reached out and grabbed this end, I'm afraid the bundle of measuring rope would have been completely submerged into the river.
"The total length of my measuring rope is one hundred meters, which means the depth of the river exceeds one hundred meters." Professor Zhang wrote this line on the paper.
One hundred meters may not sound like a big number, but anyone familiar with rivers will know that one hundred meters is already a terrifying figure.
Few of the famous rivers in China can reach this depth. Most of them are between a few meters and more than ten meters. That is, only some lakes have such a depth.
And don’t forget, this is still underground. The depth of a mercury river exceeds one hundred meters. What kind of concept is this? In terms of the width and length of this river, this is deeper than any recorded time in history.
The scale of digging a canal will be huge.
Was such a huge river really created by 800,000 people?
This doubt lingered in the minds of the eight people in Qin Yu. As well as the amount of mercury, everyone guessed it wrong. The amount of mercury reached a very terrifying level. With the mining capabilities of the Qin Dynasty at that time
, is it really possible to dig out so much mercury?
However, Qin Yu knew that now was not the time to care about this. Experts and professors like Professor Qi would study this issue carefully in the future, and what he had to do now was to find a way to get through this mercury.
No need to think about it, Qin Yu also knows that the fifth mechanism is the Mercury Galaxy. If he wants to continue moving forward, he can only cross this Mercury Galaxy.
Mercury, also known as mercury, is an inert chemical element. Apart from the poisonous gas it emits, there are no other taboos. Of course, because of the high density of mercury, people will not sink, but it is also because of the high density.
, if a person rows in mercury, it is the same as walking in a swamp, it is very difficult.
However, these are not problems for Qin Yu. He can even fly directly over the mercury and just use some strength. However, Qin Yu has not acted yet because he vaguely feels that this mercury should be
It's not that simple.
"Uh-huh!"
Just when Qin Yu was looking at the mercury galaxy, a voice came from not far away. Qin Yu looked in the direction where the voice came from, where a worshipper was waving to everyone.
"Let's go, you may find something, go and have a look."
Qin Yu first ran towards the direction of the worshiper. When the worshiper saw Qin Yu and others approaching, he pointed at his feet. Only then did Qin Yu notice that there was a stone tablet under the worshiper's feet.
There are obvious fracture marks at the bottom of this stone tablet, which shows that this stone tablet was originally supposed to be erected on the river bank, but later it broke for unknown reasons.
When they saw the stone stele, Professor Wang and the other three immediately rushed towards it. The three of them surrounded the stone stele, and then with gloves and brushes, they carefully brushed off the dust on the stele. Qin Yu and the four of them watched this scene.
One of the priests curled his lips.
Obviously, even Qin Yu, when he encountered this stone tablet, the first time he met it was to wipe off the dust on it with his hands so that he could see the words on the stone tablet. He would not be so careful at all.
Of course, Qin Yu also knew that if he asked these three professors to speed up and not be so careful, Professor Wang would probably take off his gas mask and lecture him, so for the sake of Professor Wang
Well, he'd better keep silent.
After the tea time passed, Professor Wang and the three of them finished cleaning the dust on the stone tablet, and the writing on the stone tablet was finally revealed to everyone.
"Suppressing the Yellow River?"
Qin Yu immediately saw the three simple characters on the top of the stone stele and read them out softly. Then a look of confusion appeared on his face. He knew Huanghe, but what did the addition of the word "zhen" mean?
Could it be that this stone tablet was used to suppress the Yellow River, but where did the Yellow River come from here?
"wrong!"
Qin Yu's eyes suddenly turned to the Milky Way. Most of the buildings in the tombs of ancient emperors were built in imitation of the buildings in front of them. He even wished that everything he had during his lifetime was moved into the tomb.
And who is Qin Shihuang? He is the emperor of the ages. He is the emperor who unified the six countries and became the vast territory of China. In the eyes of Qin Shihuang, his greatest wealth is these great rivers and mountains. With Qin Shihuang’s pride, even if he dies,
We must take this great river and mountain into the tomb.
But rivers and mountains are fixed and cannot really be taken away, so the only way is to imitate them, and this is the real purpose of Qin Shihuang to infuse rivers and rivers with mercury.
When it comes to rivers, the Yellow River is the most representative. It is logical for Qin Shihuang to name this mercury river the Yellow River.
After understanding this, Qin Yu understood why this stone tablet was called "Suppressing the Yellow River". The function of this stone tablet should be to suppress this "Yellow River".
When Qin Yu figured this out, Professor Wang and the others also read all the words on the stone tablet and began to write these words on the paper. Qin Yu picked up the paper and took a look and found that on the paper
The words were exactly what he thought.
According to the written records on the Yellow River stele in that town, if the stele is erected here, the "Yellow River" will always be calm. But if the stele breaks, it will mean that the Yellow River breaks free from suppression and makes trouble. No one can escape from the "Yellow River"
"Cross over.
"Let me see the fracture?" Qin Yu signaled Professor Wang and the others to leave. He knelt down and carefully observed the fracture of the Yellow River Monument.
After just looking at it for a while, Qin Yu discovered some strange things. First of all, the fractures of this stone tablet were very neat. It didn't look like it had broken by itself after passing through the traces of time. It looked more like it had been pulled apart by someone.
Broken, only in this way can we explain why the fracture is so flat.
In addition, there is a concave semicircular groove at the break of the stone tablet. Similarly, the lower half of the stone tablet still set on the ground also has a concave semicircular groove.
Without hesitation, Qin Yu lifted up the Yellow River Suppression Monument. This scene made Professor Wang and the other two people change their expressions. You must know that this stone monument has existed for almost two thousand years, and it can be easily destroyed if you are not careful. Qin Yu
Yu's movements of opening and closing made their hearts skip a beat.
That is to say, the three of them were wearing gas masks and could not speak. Otherwise, according to Professor Wang's character, he would have pointed at Qin Yu's nose and yelled at Qin Yu for not caring for cultural relics.
"That's true."
Qin Yu didn't pay attention to the expressions of Professor Wang and the other three people behind the gas masks. He placed the stone tablet on the broken spot again. After the two overlapped exactly, there was a circular slot in the middle.
This shows that there was originally a round object on the Yellow River Suppressing Monument, most likely a round bead. However, after the Yellow River Suppressing Monument was artificially destroyed, the bead also disappeared.
.
"Round beads?"
Qin Yu suddenly thought of an object in his mind. The general gave him a box. In the box, in addition to the door knocker, there were other things. Among these things, there was a round bead.
Qin Yu believed that what the general gave him must be related to the tomb of Qin Shihuang. He immediately reached into his arms and took out the round bead without hesitation.
It was a black round bead, with a black luster on its surface. The density should be higher than that of lead. Although it was small, it was very heavy. But what kind of material it was, Qin Yu had studied it for a while, but he didn't know.
See why.
"Just try your luck."
Qin Yu whispered, and then carefully placed the round black bead on the round hole on the stone tablet. After doing this, he left the stone tablet with his hand and waited slowly.
The other seven people on the side didn't know what Qin Yu was doing, and they all looked at Qin Yu with some confusion. However, just when everyone was confused, a loud noise came from the Mercury Galaxy. (To be continued)
