The cave is filled with a strong smell of sulfur.
The ground is like intertwined rivers, with red fire slurry flowing.
The earth took on a dark brown color, like metal that had been refined.
Although fire slurry was flowing across the ground, it was not as hot as expected. Perhaps it was some unknown factor that adjusted the temperature inside the cave.
The position you enter is the commanding height in the cave, as if you are standing on the top of a mountain.
There are continuous stairs going down. After going down for dozens of feet, the terrain gradually becomes flat.
When the fire slurry flows and spreads close to the ground, the temperature will suddenly become hot.
As far as the eye can see, it is rectangular in shape, with black rocks standing dozens of feet high on both sides. Stepping into it is like entering a deep pit.
The air was filled with mist, and higher up, there was thick mist-like chaos, making it impossible for sight to penetrate.
"According to ancient books, there is an immortal weapon called the Flame Cauldron. The interior is filled with flames and can burn all things. This is probably what you see in front of you. This cavernous space is like the inside of the legendary ancient immortal weapon."
Behind Zhao Huaizhong, Lao Sikong looked around.
"Before ancient times, there was the land of Kyushu in our world, but then the mountains and rivers were broken, and the earth veins cracked into countless pieces. Most of the caves now are formed by the land of Kyushu that sank and disappeared.
This Earth Fire Cave was probably formed by the collapse of a certain area of ​​land, exposing the deep parts of the earth veins." Feng Yu said.
"This kind of cave has a limited internal size. What does the edge look like?"
"It's like the entrance, like water. After passing through, there is chaos, as if the world collapsed and returned to its original appearance.
If you can't move forward in chaos, you will lose your sense of front, rear, left, and right, which is very dangerous." Feng Yu still responded.
Butian Sect has a five-color cave sky.
Their understanding of Dongtian far exceeds that of everyone in Da Qin.
There are many facilities inside this underground fire cave. Looking down from the high ground at the entrance, you can see where the fire slurry flows. Bronze ropes are fixed at both ends, forming a bridge-like trail, which is convenient for walking throughout the cave.
Passage within the cave.
Considering that Dongtian was left by the Yin Shang Dynasty, these facilities were obviously built during the Yin Shang Dynasty.
Soon, people from Ye Yufu made a preliminary inspection of the cave:
"Your Majesty, this cave has a total of seventeen flame casting pits, all of which were built to draw fire from the earth. Six of them have been extinguished due to the passage of time, while the rest are still intact.
Through these casting pits, it can be determined that during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, this cave was also used as a place for forging.
In some forging pits, some bronze artifacts remain, which are incomplete and should be scraps."
Zhao Huaizhong and others began to move around to check.
After thousands of years, the bronze walking paths, chains, and even the winch landing gear built next to some casting pits still have incantations flowing and emitting wisps of blue light.
Most of these facilities are undamaged.
Within its scope, the heat waves in the cave will be blocked.
Throughout the cave, there are many remaining artifacts of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
When everyone passed by a casting pit, they found that there were many copper beasts piled inside, with different sizes and shapes, at least hundreds of them.
Lao Sikong and Ji Mo were very excited.
You must know that the cultivation system and the level of material creation during the Yin and Shang Dynasties are hugely different from today.
There were no three religions or nine categories in that period, but it was called the mythical period of modern times, and many incredible things were created.
And here is obviously the largest foundry 'factory' left over from the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
The things here are of great value to the study of artifacts during the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
If the things in this cave can be studied clearly, it will be of unimaginable help to the level of Da Qin's creation.
When everyone came to the center of the cave.
There is a huge casting pit here, in which the fire slurry is boiling and has not dried up for thousands of years.
The casting pit is round, like a giant furnace, with an astonishing diameter of nearly a hundred feet.
There are densely covered bronze cable bridges around the casting pit and even in the suspended position above.
There are also various intricate structures on the cable bridge, which are densely packed.
Viewed from the pit, it is breathtaking.
The magma in the core of the earth below is boiling like a big lake.
When everyone looked down, they also saw a small part of a bronze temple dumped on a bronze walkway diagonally extending into the casting pit.
The little bit of copper temple that was exposed was the corner of a palace. A strange copper beast with folded wings squatted above it. The exposed part was densely covered with incantations, and it was sometimes bright and sometimes dark under the fire.
When Lu Buwei, Han Fei and others saw the copper palace, they all looked thoughtful.
The style of the bronze palace corners has many similarities with the Yin Shang Secret Palace and the bronze palace excavated from Chaoge City not long ago.
This shows that the secret palace left by the Yin and Shang dynasties, the Purple Copper Palace, was probably refined here.
Lao Sikong and Ji Mo were already trembling with excitement, staring at the casting pit below with red eyes without blinking.
The current mood of the two of them is probably similar to that of Lao Sepi when he saw a stunning beauty.
The key is that the beauty is not wearing (Harmony) clothes yet, and the two of them are very eager to explore the depth of this cave.
It's probably a mentality that you don't want to die after hearing about it day and night, and you have to continue studying until dawn.
"Your Majesty, you must seize the time to explore this place. I feel that this place will become a blessed place for our Great Qin.
In the future, countless types of creations will be born here."
Lao Sikong was in a state of excitement. His hairline, which had been receding, seemed to have moved back half an inch, and he was full of energy.
Ji Mo followed closely: "Your Majesty, I want everyone from the Mo family to come in and conduct a thorough investigation of every corner of this place."
"allow."
Zhao Huaizhong and others briefly looked around and quickly withdrew from Dihuo Cave.
Returning to the Xianyang Palace, Lu Buwei and Han Fei said auspicious words at the same time: "Congratulations to your Majesty, you have won the Fire Cave Heaven. Our Qin army, armor, weapons, and all kinds of objects will soon be far superior to those of the five countries."
With the help of Earth Fire Cave Sky, at least there will be a leapfrog growth in manufacturing and armor production.
As long as the output of secret armor and weapons can be increased slightly, it will be a big help to Da Qin's combat power.
After Lu Buwei and Han Fei finished speaking, the others knelt down one after another and congratulated them in unison.
Including Feng Yu and Feng Ji, they also knelt down and paid homage.
After everyone stood up and left, Zhao Huaizhong returned to his calm demeanor and immersed himself in handling the memorials and other matters submitted from various places.
A few days passed by.
It's late August.
That morning, Lao Sikong walked briskly and trotted all the way into Xianyang Palace.
After meeting Zhao Huaizhong, the old man spoke very quickly: "Your Majesty, after preliminary investigation, it was found that not only were the Yin Shang Secret Palace and the Purple Copper Palace refined in the Earth Fire Cave.
During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, giant copper puppets like the one proposed by the king were actually made.
I and others found a giant bronze man twenty feet tall in one of the casting pits in Dihuo Cave Heaven after diverting and dividing the magma."
Zhao Huaizhong looked calm, which was not surprising.
The Yin Shang Dynasty also obtained the Xiantai Pillar, and saw the refining method of the bronze puppet from it, and tried it, which was reasonable.
“But the refining of bronze figures during the Yin and Shang dynasties also failed.
Lao Chen and Ji Mo studied it and found many references, which will be of great help to us." Lao Sikong gasped as he spoke.
Zhao Huaizhong glanced at him: "What's the urgent matter, Old Sikong, that makes you want to be in such a hurry?"
"The old minister is still rushing back to explore the cave."
Zhao Huaizhong smiled: "If Old Sikong is very busy, then go back quickly. You don't have to come in person next time, just let someone pass the message."
Lao Sikong: "I have one more thing to do."
"Some traces in the Earth Fire Cave and Heaven make the officials suspect that there is some kind of connection between the Yin Shang Secret Palace and the Earth Fire Cave and Heaven, which has not been interrupted for thousands of years."
