21 Crazy Thoughts I subconsciously shouted: "No, Dr. Tang, don't act rashly——"
In a hurry, I hit the table with my palm, causing the microphone to fall to the ground. Various notebooks and pencils on the table clattered to the floor.
Yelan's face turned livid, and he shouted at the same time: "That's the mouth of the God of Death, don't do anything stupid!"
According to the situation in the tunnel at this time, there was nothing surprising about Dr. Tang's actions. His original intention was just to see clearly what was in the half-dug hole. After the bright light of the flashlight shone into the black hole, the camera above his head
The situation of the fifty centimeter diameter hole was also clearly reflected on the monitor in front of us.
In fact, there is nothing particularly strange about it. There are curved surfaces everywhere that have been polished very smooth by drill bits, and the color is without exception a lifeless dark gray.
Tang retracted his head in disappointment and waved his arms dissatisfiedly: "Don't tell me what to do!" The curse words that followed turned into a quiet grunt, and then he communicated with his ten assistants in a low voice.
The dazzling white light emitted by the lighting system clearly illuminates everything at the end of the tunnel.
Yelan suddenly whispered in a strange tone: "Mr. Feng, do you feel that this scene is a bit weird?" He quickly took three big steps back, covered his eyes with his palms, forming a tube shape, and looked far away
Looking at the monitor.
"Weird?" I followed his example and stepped back, observing the screen in that posture. For less than a second, the sudden feeling of fear made my back sweat. It was like the "stretching" of a movie lens.
After the action and our viewing angle recede, all the characters on the screen become surprisingly distant.
The black hole was suddenly exposed on the screen, like - "It looks like the snake eyes on the crown of the Pharaoh's head, right?" Yelan's voice trembled violently.
There is always a ferocious and huge black cobra embedded in the crown of the pharaohs of all ages. For some unknown purpose, the snake's head is pointed sideways and diagonally forward, so when anyone sees the crown, they can only see
The black eye that faces outward.
As a symbol of the Pharaoh's "sternness, cruelty, and cruelty", the cobra has been used throughout the archaeological history of almost all the excavations of the Pharaoh's tombs.
Yelan put down his hand, whimpering as if he was sneering or sobbing: "Pharaoh's...curse...curse..."
There was such a record in the ancient Egyptian code: Subjects who committed crimes were taken to a huge dry well called the "Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes". The dry well was filled with extremely hungry black cobras. The criminals were
Push him down and let these snakes judge them. If he can survive unharmed in the cave of snakes, it will prove that he is innocent and can be forgiven by God.
Therefore, the cobra is also named the "God of Punishment" in ancient Egyptian legends.
These legends must have no deterrent effect on a tomb robbing expert of Yan Ye's level, otherwise how would he dare to happily go to the vast desert of Egypt?
Tang and his assistants checked the condition of the drilling rig, and all of them showed unspeakable confusion on their faces.
Of course, the drilling rig is not broken, let alone out of control. The real problem is the thickness of the stone wall. However, after the Pyramid of Tulkha Khan was put on the private agenda of tomb robbers around the world, its radiographic detection has been carried out almost every year.
It was carried out hundreds of times, overtly or covertly. I believe that the detection work has been completed long before the scalpel hits its target.
The data "four meters thick" is correct, so the effective control distance of Dr. Tang's drilling rig is set between four and five meters.
The five experts were silent for a while, then took out their mobile phones almost at the same time and dialed numbers quickly.
At the same time, I also dialed Scalpel’s secret phone number. As soon as the call was connected, at least four or five people came from the receiver, shouting loudly.
"Feng, don't be surprised. It was Gu Ye and the other five who called at the same time, and they were from five different numbers. I know everything about the camp, and we will contact you later." Scalpel smiled bitterly.
I hung up the phone and suddenly felt deeply tired - "All the experts who entered the excavation camp are friends or partners of Scalpel. I have no privileges at all. Scalpel's gentle care for me is just a matter of watching."
With the face entrusted to me by my eldest brother Yang Tian, what will I do in the future? Will I have to rely on the scalpel for the rest of my life? Will I have to be looked after by others for the rest of my life, like taking care of a young boy who is not familiar with the world? "
In an instant, a pyramid about home and relatives collapsed in my heart - "For so many years, I have always regarded the scalpel as my relative, but in fact it was just wishful thinking. I am still an orphan. After my elder brother disappeared, I felt like a child in the universe.
Like any planet, it exists in isolation. No one can hope for anything but self-reliance and self-reliance."
My face must have been quite ugly, so that the look in Yelan's eyes when he looked at me was extremely pitiful and pitiful.
I sat down at the table, took out paper and pencil, and after a moment of reflection, I drew a three-dimensional cross-section of the shaft and tunnel on the paper. At the end of the tunnel, I added a wall four meters back.
Paint it a light gray.
Now, everyone is on this side of the stone wall, and there is only one wall separating them from the mysterious world inside.
I hesitated and drew a Go chessboard on the other side of the stone wall. It was actually simulating the distribution of tomb chambers inside the pyramid. When my pen point landed on the center of the chessboard, I suddenly thought: "In such a planar structure,
, what does the central point mean?”
The pointed structure of the pyramid is destined to have an area distribution of small at the top and large at the bottom. Therefore, the total area of each layer decreases downwards. If the total number of tomb chambers remains unchanged, the individual area of each chamber will decrease in sequence. This
This exposes a key issue of "gravity support" - if the upper tomb chamber is separated from the support of the vertical load-bearing wall, will there be an unpredictable chain collapse under the influence of the earth's gravity?
I painted the middle position black as much as possible, because assuming that the tomb of the Pyramid of Tuchakhan is a Go board, then the most important "point" is at the position of "Tian Yuan", which is the central intersection of all areas.
I scratched my scalp hard and racked my brains to think.
In the picture, four of the people had put away their phones, leaving Cheney alone to communicate with the scalpel.
He is a master among masters in the study of pyramid architecture, and he has the most say in the structure of these strange tombs. I heard him narrate hurriedly in Scottish-style nasal English: "I bet there must be some ray vision of the stone wall.
The problem is, the structure of these stone walls is not fundamentally different from dozens of other pyramids. Therefore, I need your detection team to conduct carpet penetration measurements of the pyramids again, from beginning to end, and do not let them be exposed to the desert.
Even if it’s one square centimeter!”
His words "from head to toe" inspired me. I slammed the pencil and jumped up, shouting: "Yes! From head to toe! From head to toe!"
The "head" I'm talking about refers to the spire of the Pyramid of Earth's Cracking Khan. When I had a brief period of amnesia, I once felt that the top of the tower could be moved with my feet. I even imagined that by stamping my feet hard, I would enter the interior of the tower from that position.
.
Then, we can completely abandon the original plan of entering the interior through the tunnel, and directly enter through the opening at the top of the pyramid in a whimsical way.
I was shocked by my crazy new idea. I stood there in shock for a while, not daring to move, for fear that this bit of inspiration would suddenly disappear and I would never be able to pursue it again.
On the monitor, Tang was instructing his assistant to adjust the working height of the drill and prepare to drill again at the lower left of the hole. His "gas explosives" theory was not properly demonstrated because there was no "flexible obstacle" on the stone wall.
"Signs.
I smiled stiffly at Yelan and called the technicians back to work.
At this time, everyone needs to be calmer than the experts underground, and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
As I walked towards the door of the tent, Yelan also followed me, requesting hurriedly and angrily: "Mr. Feng, I hope to go down the well. Regarding underground drilling work, I can be regarded as the highest authority in the entire Egypt. Maybe I can
can--"
I interrupted him and patted him on the shoulder: "Yelan, go back to your job. Now I am in charge of the work of the camp. I believe in them, the power and knowledge of the experts, which is far higher than that of ordinary people."
people."
He became extremely disappointed, looking at the dim dusk outside with empty eyes and murmured to himself: "You don't know, the Pharaoh's spell will only fall on foreigners, but I can deal with these immeasurable things."
Immune to punishment... The door to the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes has been opened, and every foreigner who offends the majesty of the Pharaoh will be selected by the 'God of Punishment'..."
I am not interested in these mysterious and strange spells. When it comes to the vicious, cruel and touching spells, the first choice is the witchcraft tribes in the jungles of Central America or the gang precepts passed down through the ages in China. The spells of the Pharaohs were refined by the European invaders.
After the translation, it has become poetic, with elegant syllables and melody, and the terrifying degree has long been greatly weakened.
I solemnly ordered to Yelan: "Go back to your post, Mr. Yelan, you are too lenient!"
Regardless of whether his purpose of going down the well was out of good intentions to "save innocent lives", or whether he was trying to get a big share of the tomb treasures, I didn't want him to disrupt Tan Ye's original excavation plan.
Dusk has enveloped the camp, but under the influence of hundreds of lights, the entire camp is as brightly lit as a carnival night. However, the camp is very quiet, and no one talks loudly or makes any noise.
The thirty or so people surrounding the derrick kept their hands hanging down and their bodies stiff, standing silently and solemnly.
After taking a dozen long and deep breaths, I twisted my waist and legs to relax my extremely tense nerves. Only when the body is relaxed can anyone's mind work freely.
The crazy idea I just had deserves further careful consideration, and the only person who can communicate well with me is probably Su Lun.
