The moment they heard the other's answer, both of them were stunned for a moment. After a while, they both showed expressions of extreme surprise and began to suddenly realize.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation - Combining our conclusions is the final answer." Zhang Ke said with a smile, "Although there was no deliberate division of labor, it seems that we have a tacit understanding, and we subconsciously started to take charge of part of the research.
, and finally reached each other’s destination.”
"Yeah, but how did you come up with the answer [reincarnation of fate]?" Ye Suling asked strangely, "And why did you ask me to borrow a ballpoint pen before?"
"Actually, I wanted to test the level of the ground under my feet." Zhang Ke pointed to the stone floor beneath him and said, "Because after the coins in my pocket accidentally fell out, they actually rolled out along the ground.
It's very far, and it's even rolling faster and faster. Even if the rocky ground here is polished very smooth, there is always some slight friction. Logically speaking, the coin should have gradually slowed down and finally stopped."
"The answer that can explain this problem is that there is a driving force that I can't see. After the coin rolls to the ground, it continues to exert force on it, causing it to not only overcome the friction force, but also as long as it does not hit it.
If there are any obstacles, it will never stop on its own." Zhang Ke said with a smile:
"I'm not afraid of your ridicule. I really thought about the theory of ghosts and gods at first. After all, the square stones on the ground seemed to have been moved by invisible hands, so could this coin have also been moved by unseen hands?"
Blown by the ghost of vision? But after testing the iron ball and pen barrel of the ballpoint pen, I came to a more scientific conclusion, that is - "
Zhang Ke kicked a relatively smooth stone away from the ground. It rolled for a long time before it hit the square stone and stopped:
"The ground beneath our feet is not level, but has a certain inclination!"
"What?" Ye Suling asked in surprise, "You mean... we are standing on a slope?"
"That's right, although the inclination angle of the slope is not very obvious, at least relative to the size of the entire corridor and our own subjective experience, it is almost a slight inclination that is difficult to feel." Zhang Ke said:
"But no matter how small the angle is, it will cause a subtle difference in gravity, which cannot be concealed by these delicate small objects. They will roll down from a higher place to a lower place due to gravity. The more rounded the structure,
This effect became more and more obvious, so I had to pull out the iron ball of the ballpoint pen to verify this conjecture."
"I see, it does make sense, but - just knowing that the ground beneath your feet is tilted, what's the use?" Ye Suling asked.
"That's the second question. What do you think is rotating in the ruins of this fortress?" Zhang Ke asked rhetorically.
"Uh... isn't it that the wall in front of us, including the core sacrificial area on the other side of the wall, is rotating with it, so the marks we leave on the wall will move away from us after a while, and after a full circle,
Just came back to me." Ye Suling replied without thinking.
"Actually, we have fallen into a misunderstanding. To create such an effect, can the wall only rotate?" Zhang Ke once again raised a sharp rhetorical question.
"...If the earth beneath our feet is rotating on its own!" After hearing Zhang Ke's prompt, Ye Suling's eyes suddenly lit up, and the answer immediately blurted out, "If the central wall is actually fixed and we are the ones rotating, then the same painting
The mark on the wall will go away from us and come back on the other side."
"That's right, but when ordinary people look at problems, they always regard themselves as a fixed point that remains unchanged and is not affected by objective conditions, so they often fall into such misunderstandings. In fact, the walls include the core priests inside
The area has always been fixed in its original position, but the circular corridor we are stepping on is the real thing that is rotating." Zhang Ke nodded and said:
"There are two pieces of evidence for my inference. First, after standing quietly in a certain place, I could clearly feel the force coming from my feet, which seemed to be pulling me forward. Although it was very slight, it could easily be misunderstood.
It was confused by the shaking feeling caused by the rotation of the wall. In addition, I found that every time I put coins and ballpoint pens on the ground and let them roll freely, they rolled in different directions."
"What? They're not the same?" Ye Suling asked in surprise, "This is impossible. If this circular corridor is a slope with high and low slopes, then it must also be rolling down from high to low. How can it happen over time?
And different?"
"This just shows that the height of this corridor is constantly changing. Sometimes it is higher in the east and lower in the west, and then it is reversed again, with the higher in the west and lower in the east." Zhang Ke said, "It's fixed.
It is impossible for the floor to produce this phenomenon, which only shows that the entire corridor is a structure that can loosen and change its position. This is why I think that even the rotation itself is the behavior of the corridor itself."
"If we further deduce it, in fact, this corridor has been performing two kinds of motions, one is rotating around the central wall, and the other is trembling up and down regularly, constantly changing different high and low positions everywhere."
"It's such a complicated structure..." Ye Sulin felt a little confused, "It's really hard to imagine what kind of building this is, and why so much construction work was needed to build this kind of mechanism."
"I have similar questions to you, so I noticed another unusual thing, that is Fangshi." Zhang Ke said, "Do you remember? Fangshi appeared after the earth started to tremble.
Each tremor will be accompanied by the appearance of a new ashlar stone. Then the movement pattern of the entire corridor is basically rotation-calm-tremor-rotation. I think this is by no means a meaningless coincidence, so I focused on observing a piece of ashlar stone from the outcrop to the
The process of growing bigger and bigger.”
"Let's get straight to the conclusion. I found that the square stones did not grow out of the ground out of thin air, nor were they moved here by anyone. Instead, they came from holes in the ground -"
"What, a hole in the ground? Is there such a thing? We didn't see it all the way here just now." Ye Suling asked in confusion.
"Indeed, because these holes only appeared for a moment, unless you predict in advance that special events may occur at those locations and stand by to observe in advance, it is easy to miss them." Zhang Ke pulled Ye Suling together.
Fang Shibian said:
"Have you ever thought that this square stone seems to be rooted in the ground, with no gaps where it meets the ground, and it cannot be lifted up with brute force?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Try again now, use the greatest strength you can." Zhang Ke said with a smile.
