The underground palace as a whole is a patio structure, that is to say, like a red bean paste bun, a hole is opened in the middle of a large circle, and a square is built in the hole.
From an architectural point of view, this is a troublesome process, not only a waste of manpower and material resources, but also a waste of land area. Because the bottom is hollow, the overall stability of the building will also be weakened.
It would be fine if the purpose of this design was to increase aesthetics or promote a unique style, but there is no such shadow here.
The design of this overall scenic spot was obviously executed by professional architects. The overall style is biased toward mythology, and there is no particular style that is unconventional.
Every color and design here is incompatible with this weird geographical structure.
In other words, this patio-like geographical location already existed before the construction of this scenic area.
Chen Zhi and the others walked down the escalator. Although they were sweating profusely just now, when they reached the underground, the cold air below the underground palace immediately swept over their bodies.
People need air conditioning very much when it's hot. The refreshing feeling is like eating 10,000 watermelons in three or nine days, and a sense of happiness arises spontaneously.
But this coolness made Chen Zhi think more delicately and pay more attention to the architectural structure here.
All the businesses here are designed around the center, with a staircase in the middle leading directly to the bottom, which looks like an awl.
Chen Zhi recalled this type of building. Generally speaking, there are certain reasons why buildings are designed in this style.
There is a very famous public fountain pool in the northwest, which is designed with this kind of patio structure.
The reason at that time was to develop the northwest, but an underground lake was discovered underneath.
The lake is not shallow, and the partially collapsed caves around it are filled with accumulated ore and old mines, making it difficult to clean for a while. Therefore, we designed this kind of patio shape and used reinforced concrete to wrap up the underground lake below.
Several subsequent designs of this type were basically for this reason.
Because there is a blank area below, or it is difficult to clean, or for other reasons, it cannot be exposed to the outside.
So a shell was wrapped on it, cement was poured on it, and then a building was built on it based on this line.
By analogy with this situation, the underground palace should also be empty. Although the specifics are unclear, there must be some blank areas hidden.
"Fat man!",
Chen Zhi said softly to Fat Wei next to him: "I suspect there is something hidden underneath. It cannot be seen on the surface, and it is not accessible to tourists."
"Ah? There is also this matter...",
After Fat Wei came in and felt the air conditioning, he felt like he had been reborn. He bought a large can of iced Coke and drank half of the bottle.
"Can there be a universe underneath this damn place? What could it be?"
"I don't know!" Chen Zhi shook his head gently.
“This place is really too hot, and there aren’t many things that can be hidden near this hot flaming mountain!
Even a tomb will not be built here.
But I always feel that the following things are very important and may be related to the purpose of our trip.
So we have to think of a way to go down there and take a look..."
"ah?",
After hearing what Chen Zhi said, Fat Wei wiped his mouth and paid attention to the surrounding environment.
Although he doesn't understand architecture, he is an old scholar who studied in a cemetery after all, and he has a natural sensitivity to underground buildings.
He looked around, then looked at his feet, and pondered for a while alone:
"Yes!" Fat Wei said with certainty,
"There must be something down here!
And it won’t last long!
If this underground palace is not built, the things below will definitely be exposed outside the desert~~
Damn, it’s so amazing!
It’s like adding a layer of skin to the meat filling. You can’t see what the filling is, but we are still walking on it as if nothing happened..."
"If you can't see the stuffing, then open the skin and get in to take a look!",
Chen Zhi said softly, glanced around, then lowered his voice and said to Ghost Sword,
"Knife, go down to the bottom floor and see if there is anyone with a handle there!"
"Yes!", Guidao responded, stood up lightly, and naturally blended into the crowd as if he were walking normally.
But within a few seconds, it disappeared.
After about a while, Ghost Sword returned from the corner in the other direction. He walked to Chen Zhi and lowered his voice:
"Clan leader! It's the same as you think!
There is an isolation zone on the last floor below the ground, and there is a hollow door.
I jumped in from there, and it turned out that there was another layer below. After I entered, I found a control room, which was guarded.
There is a heavy door next to it, with many high-definition cameras on both sides, and there are armed guards at the door!"
"Armed guard?",
Chen Zhi turned back to look at Ghost Sword, a little hard to believe what he just said.
This is something Chen Zhi never expected. Turpan is different from other places in that some issues here are very sensitive.
The state has always maintained a special policy towards ethnic minorities and does not engage in too much involvement.
There is little direct control over such local scenic spots, and it is even more impossible to send armed police to guard them without caring about the benefits.
Therefore, these armed guards must be private mercenaries, and the hirers should be local people.
It seems that something really great is hidden below here, so much so that it goes to such great lengths to protect it.
"Would they have discovered you just now?",
Chen Zhi asked Ghost Sword softly,
"Did you leave any traces in front of the camera?"
"No~~", Guidao replied very definitely,
"I'm very careful, the camera can't capture me, don't worry!
But do you need me to take care of those people below? I move very quickly, they won’t make a sound!"
"No!" Chen Zhi said in a deep voice,
"This place is different from other places. Once an accident occurs, we will go to war! The government will also step in and we will be very passive. This kind of trouble cannot be left behind~~
It's better to keep things simple and let us in through some methods.
In fact, this matter is not difficult. In the final analysis, it is just the gatekeeper’s own business!
As long as they relax and let us in, everything will be solved...",
When Chen Zhi said this, he immediately thought of something. Then he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his father on WeChat.
"I need a hypnotic pattern that can hypnotize three adults instantly!
Asking him to let us in without any pressure will not leave any memory..."
