red tomb

If it weren't for those blue harriers with peculiar shapes, the three of them almost felt that they had traveled through time. There was such a technology in ancient times more than 2000 years ago?Opening up is not enough to describe the degree!

And after careful inspection, this is even more certain.The mechanical field is a large space, and what they saw at first was only a corner of the side.Turn left and go in, and you can see the whole picture of the huge square——

The square black iron pillars are criss-crossed, let alone; they are all connected to traction arms, and the arms are connected to gears; these gears are creakingly connected and converged on a huge iron pillar in the center.The iron pillar was so natural that it seemed to grow out of the ground.

"If our calculations are correct, this pillar can extend all the way to the exposed part of the sand dunes. Or strictly speaking, all buildings are built on it." Jin Sheng looked up, not surprisingly, he found that the top of the iron pillar could not be seen at all.

"Then maybe the latitude and longitude we saw at the beginning were wrong." Su You thought of this, "In the range of strong magnetic fields, it is common for electronic equipment to fail."

But it doesn't make sense to say that now.Jiang Siqi pursed his lips, "So much money is wasted." He looked around, and said, "Even if we got to the crystallization of the wisdom of an ancient man—if there is one—the focus would be wrong. What we are looking for is not Qinhe. Is it the source?" He spread his hands, "There is not a single drop of water here."

"Ever since I saw the desert appearing in the forest, I never expected to see water." Jin Sheng replied, "In other words, even if I saw water in the desert, I wouldn't be surprised."

These words made Su You think of Du Ying.

Du Ying disappeared under the water of Peach Blossom Pond, which may be the right way to find the source of Qinhe River.But they didn't go down then, and it's useless to regret it now.

The other is the relationship between Jin Sheng and Du Ying.Although Jin Sheng didn't take the initiative to mention Du Ying along the way, it didn't mean that he had forgotten; on the contrary, the longer he settled in his heart, the deeper the accumulated feelings.

"Let's find out if there is another way?" Su You said.The four walls of this square mechanical fortress are black iron traps, and there is no door; if it is the same as what you see, let alone looking for Du Ying, they will all have to be trapped here to die!

Although it was late at this time, all three agreed to this approach.There is no time to sleep at this time - between the short-term comfort and the urgent crisis, of course you have to choose to solve the latter first!

It's just that it's really hard.Although those magnetic building blocks no longer move by themselves, the whole mechanism is also quite complicated; it covers an area of ​​nearly one square kilometer, which shows how much work is involved.In the end, all three of them were busy until the next night, and they couldn't bear it any longer before going to bed.

And on the afternoon of the third day, after combining the observations of all of them, they finally came to three conclusions: first, the entire mechanical equipment was magnetically controlled without error; second, the quicksand on the surface of the dune was the result of this mechanical movement; Third, all the keys lie in the four long moment arms on the side of the central iron column.

"The movement trajectory of this force arm is close to the shape of a back," Su You summed up for them, "so I guess, if we had time at that time, we could probably see that the pattern on the outside is also close to the shape of a back."

"I think this track is very familiar." Jin Sheng still looked at a long iron stone track around the site, "It looks like some kind of pattern."

This inspired Jiang Siqi. "Like the pattern on the bronze cup!" He cried out, asking Su You to take out the cups to look at them, "I remember them as exactly the same!"

After trying to use their brains for so long, they finally found a glimmer of hope. The eyes of the three of them were shining, and they turned over their bags in a hurry.

"Fortunately, I didn't throw it away," Su You said, touching the cold and hard metal with one hand, "Otherwise..."

No one paid attention to him otherwise.By the never-extinguishing candles on the surrounding walls, they clearly saw that the two were indeed the same, except that one was bigger and the other was small.

"Look again..." Jin Sheng compared the top and bottom, "I think its material seems to be closer to the iron pillar in the middle?"

"...Really?" Jiang Siqi was slightly shocked.Because if that's the case, it probably means they're in the right place.Su You once used the jiuxiaoqin to open that hollow feldspar, maybe a cup would work too?

"Did you see anything smaller than the diameter of your head here?" Su You asked back.It's not that he poured cold water on it, but the fact; here are all large machines, and if there are switches, it may not be small.

The light on Jin Sheng's face faded again. "In contrast, I feel that I have never seen a round thing here."

This is also a fact.The cup is so small that it can only be inserted or embedded, but it can never match anything square.

The three of them fell into a brief silence again.And at this moment, the metallic hum that had always existed began to grow louder——

Su You and the others regained their senses and quickly retreated to the safest place, which is the center of the venue.They have determined that according to the mechanical movement trajectory, they will never touch the four arms that are in charge of the central control.The equal length of the moment arm is the reason why the entire mechanical device can move a quarter at a time, that is, the corridor mechanism in any direction of east, west, north, south.

But this time only one of them was moved.That is, one side is in motion, and the other three sides are at rest.

Since the three of Su arrived, this was the second time he saw the machine moving autonomously.Of course, the first time they were still at the other end of the corridor, they didn't really see how the mechanism worked.

"It seems to be periodic," Su You said suddenly, "If the quicksand we encounter outside is also the effect here, then it is about two to three days to rotate one side?"

"Probably so," Jin Sheng stared at the slowly twitching iron arm, "but I'm more concerned about how it can move on its own? Either there's something wrong, or there's a mechanism we haven't seen, right?"

Neither Su You nor Jiang Siqi answered the question.Because they can't explain it; the current situation looks more like they are all trapped in an iron box, the real copper wall and iron wall, hard to fly--

There was only the last bottom left in the water bottle, and the lips of the three of them were all parched and their voices were hoarse.There is nothing dull about food, and biscuit crumbs are a luxury.As for hair and clothes, it doesn't matter how messy or dirty they are.

Do they still have a chance to get out?

Jin Sheng spread his hands and lay down on the cold ground. "I thought I was supposed to die of normal old age, and at worst I could shave or something before I died." He stared, "It doesn't feel good to be a starving ghost. Or I can sleep...wake up and say something else." A world?"

Su You and Jiang Siqi looked at each other, and also felt a burst of sleepiness.Not just physically, but spiritually as well.

"Although it's probably very annoying," Su You also lay down on his back, "but until now, I don't think there is really another world. Don't talk about Paiyun Mountain," he said before possible rebuttals, "then probably It's closer to an enchantment... It's probably okay to say that it's a paradise."

"Xanadu?" Jiang Siqi smiled.He couldn't deny it, because Paiyun Mountain at least had good food and drink all the way, and he only stayed in Lishan Qin Temple for less than a day.Compared with the current hunger, he felt that it was indeed the case.

But it is not the past that should be grasped now.Jiang Siqi lay down silently, but he chose a position he really wanted - next to Su You.This closeness reached the point where he pressed a kiss on Su You's lips before he honestly hugged Su You's arm.

This movement was very slow, but Su You didn't avoid it.He felt the heat on his parched lips, and he could hardly resist; if so, why should he?

So almost without thinking, Su You turned around and kissed Jiang Siqi's forehead.He may not be able to repay this feeling any more, but at least he doesn't want to let it go in vain.

Jin Sheng hadn't heard them talking for a long time, so he thought they were all asleep.But as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw such a scene - Su You's haggard but doting face, and Jiang Siqi's contented body posture - he couldn't help but silently turned his face to the other side.

These two dogs and men!Show affection in broad daylight, think he is dead?It's too inhuman to provoke him at such a time!

Jin Sheng gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart, did these two have any sons after they got together—it can be seen that he was confused, how could two men have children?

When he did this, his eyes were fixed on the corner of the ceiling, afraid of turning around and being blinded again.Because the machine was still in motion, all the candles on the other side were temporarily extinguished, and cast a shadow that was so faint that it was almost invisible, the most obvious being a long pillar in the middle.But after staring for a while, he suddenly discovered a new continent——

"Wait, the pillar in the middle is round!"

"What's round?" Su You and Jiang Siqi were both stunned.Is Jin Sheng insane? It's obviously a square shape!

Only then did Jin Sheng realize that he was too excited and didn't express himself clearly. "That's right, the bottom is square, but the top is round!" He pointed to the long shadow for the other two to see——

The shadow was long and straight, and suddenly thickened somewhere.As the candlelight flickered, the shadow also swayed slightly.But the width of the shadow above does not change, while the shadow below is thick and thin.

"……This is real!"

Su You stared for a while, then turned over from the ground all of a sudden. "The mechanism may be on the top!" The magnification of their telescope was not large enough, so they found nothing!

This is a dead end!

But the four sides of the iron pillar were smooth, and the pillar on the top was so high that it was impossible to climb up it with bare hands.After the three of them discussed it, they found that they could only resort to violence—those long and short iron pillars were dismantled and erected, so that people could go up layer by layer through the square section.

Su You apologized to the owner of the city in his heart, and started the demolition without hesitation.Time waits for no one, lives matter!
