The Explanation Is Not Clear, The Tomb Robbery Novel I Wrote Came True

Although the tomb is large enough, it will appear slightly weaker due to the light scattered in it due to the vast space.

Therefore, the central part of the tomb is actually not so clear, but a general outline can be observed.

Professor Wen and the others stood at the entrance of the tomb, and after careful investigation of the dangers, they confirmed that this tomb was relatively conventional, and there were not many other abnormalities.

Only then did the large army enter the tomb in one fell swoop.

The entire archaeological team was divided into three groups, namely the walls on the left and right sides, and a main team headed by Professor Wen. The goal was to go straight to the mysterious object in front of it.

As everyone approached, the silhouette and shape of the mysterious thing standing in the center of the tomb became more and more clear.

When Professor Wen and the others came to the center of the tomb and stood in front of this mysterious object, the whole picture of this thing was indirectly presented to everyone.

This is a statue.

To be precise, it is a humanoid statue that is a few sizes larger than normal people.

Judging from the appearance alone, the statue is carved from stone as a whole, and the whole statue is wrapped in a complete set of armor.

Obviously, the identity of the character carved on this statue should be a military general or commander.

Looking at such a statue, Professor Wen was stunned for a moment, and then went to work.

"Now measure the statue's data immediately, including important information such as height."

"Open the layer database for comparison, and try to find information related to the face of this statue among the information we have."

"Analyze the additional relevant characteristics of this statue, and determine the identity of the statue as soon as possible."

Professor Wen conveyed the deployment of "097" step by step in an orderly manner, and the staff who followed him followed orders immediately.

A set of instruments are placed on the ground.

Perform various scanning and analysis tasks.

For the archaeological team, it is often possible to analyze some important information from human statues like this.

If there are a large number of statues with rows of people's faces, this kind of statues is relatively common, but because of the large number, it can reflect the characteristics of an era.

And in a whole tomb like this, there is only such a statue, and it is placed in the center of the tomb, which can undoubtedly highlight a problem.

That's why this statue is so significant.

If it is the kind of passer-by who is not recorded in history and can only play soy sauce in ancient times, it is absolutely impossible to be eligible to obtain a tomb alone, and still stand in the center so formally.

Especially who does this ancient tomb belong to?

The founder of the Cao Wei faction, the overlord of the Central Plains in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, can definitely be called a top hero.

In his ancient tomb, there is such a wide chamber, and in the center of this vast space like a square, there is only such a statue standing alone.

That problem is actually relatively simple.

Either it belonged to Cao Cao himself, or it belonged to a certain general with a relatively high status in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

*****

"Professor, according to the data analysis of our instrument, the height of this statue is four meters, while the length of the front section is one meter, and the length of the cross section is 0.5 meters."

"Professor, in our layer analysis and database display, we have not yet found the prototype of this statue."

"The speculation may be that our database is not complete. After all, it was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty a thousand or hundreds of years ago."

"For the image of the characters of that era, the information we have in the database is synthesized through reverse deduction with modern technology, and it may take some time to confirm the final situation.

"Professor Wen, there is not enough additional information on this carved spoon, please."

One by one, the news was reported from the mouths of the nearby staff, and there was not much good news.

Especially the last two staff members were unable to analyze the identity of the statue in terms of layer database and additional information, which made Wen Jiaojie frowned.

For such a statue, the most important thing is to summarize its information, and the most important thing is identity.

But now in the layer database of their Archaeological Research Institute, no figure similar to this statue has been found, and there is no other additional information about this statue.

In this way, it seems a little difficult.

After signaling the staff to continue the comparison work, Professor Wen put his hands behind his back, and then walked around the statue back and forth.

At the same time, Chu Yun was also observing the statue.

The huge four-meter-high stone statue is already taller than a floor, especially in the dark environment of the tomb, it looks even more gigantic in comparison.

It's just that in his eyes, this stone statue feels a bit weird to him.

Therefore, while Professor Wen was walking around in circles, Chu Yun also followed in the footsteps of the old professor and began to observe one after another.

After walking around.

Chu Yun patted Professor Wen on the shoulder and stopped the old comrade.

"Professor Wen, do you feel that this statue seems a bit out of tune, and it feels a little weird.

Hearing what Chu Yun said, Professor Wen immediately paid attention to it.

He hurried to Chu Yun's side, and then asked solemnly: "How do you say, did you find something?"

Chu Yun pointed at the statue, then frowned slightly, and said in confusion.

"Under normal circumstances, if the statue is carved of a military general, then his weapons and armor will definitely be part of the sculpture. This is a whole sculpture."

"This must teach you that you should have seen many, such as the most famous Qin Terracotta Army."

"Among the terracotta warriors and horses, whether they are generals or soldiers, their armor and weapons are all carved from the same material and form a whole.

Regarding Chu Yun's statement, Professor Wen nodded quickly, and at the same time continued to talk.

"This is the style of the vast majority of statues."

"One is for aesthetics. After all, the overall sculpture is made of the same material, and the armor worn by the general can be perfectly integrated into the overall style of the statue."

"Another reason is anti-corrosion and rust. If you don't use the form of overall sculpture, but really wear a set of armor on your body, then it will be displayed for a thousand or hundreds of years. Even if the air in the tomb is not circulated, it will be corroded. .”

Professor Wen is knowledgeable and a top archaeologist in China.

As for the statues of figures, which often appear in ancient tombs, he has naturally dabbled, and it can even be said that he is relatively proficient.

Therefore, this old comrade has already analyzed some characteristics in just a few words.

And after listening to Professor Wen's words.

Chu Yun even scratched his chin, and said in a thoughtful tone: "In this case, why is the statue in front of us so different from the usual style?"

"Not only is there no overall sculpture, but on the contrary, such a large stone statue is directly wearing a set of extremely neat armor."

"From the helmet, to the armor on the upper body, to the armor on the hem, this set can be said to be well-dressed, and it is completely a very formal general's attire."

"And there is also a very important point, that is, the suit worn by the statue has no trace of rust or corrosion."

"You have to know that this has been a long time of thousands of years. Metals like copper and iron, especially in ancient times, had no special anti-rust measures, and it was very easy to be catalyzed by the years to become broken copper and rotten iron.

"So just looking at this point, I'm afraid it's worth our careful thinking."

When Chu Yun said this, Professor Wen, who didn't think there was anything wrong at first, immediately frowned even more.

Taking the flashlight from the assistant at the side, Professor Wen leaned forward a little bit, and then shone the light in his hand on the armor of the statue.

Although he didn't dare to touch it directly with his hands, with a flashlight and a magnifying glass, Wen Jiaojie still studied it carefully.

After a while.

Professor Wen put away the magnifying glass, then rubbed his sore eyes caused by the long-term condensation of lights and lenses.

Then he turned around and silently nodded to Chu Yun.

"I'm afraid there is something wrong!"

"According to my observation just now, the armor on this statue seems to be brand new, not to mention corroded and rusted, not even scratches or wear marks."

"This is quite an abnormal thing!"

"Even as Cao Cao, who owns the vast Central Plains north of the Yangtze River, but limited by the forging technology of that era, a pair of armor will always be flawed.

"It's not difficult to make a four-meter-high statue, but it's quite unreasonable to make such a huge armor at the same time as casting a statue."

"It's really full of incongruities and eccentricities."

After discovering such a thing.

Professor Wen obviously suddenly felt a layer of worry about this extremely empty ancient tomb that seemed to have no danger...

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

This phrase applies anywhere.

Since there is something not quite right, it should be worth noting, so Professor Wen thought about it.

He simply directed the crowd, set up a few strong headlights on the ground, and some soldiers also entered the alert state in advance.

Then he was relieved and continued to study the statue.

Several experts and scholars got together, and Chu Yun also stood aside.

"According to the news from the other two groups, there is no information on the left and right walls of the tomb, and there are no objects.

"This shows that the tomb chamber, which is so empty like a square, is entirely for the purpose of accommodating this statue, and I'm afraid it can explain some problems even more.

As the words of an expert surnamed Liu fell, a scholar beside him also spoke.

"While the three groups checked the right wall, they also took a look directly behind the statue and found a small stone door.

"It's not the kind of pattern that distinguishes the left and right openings of the middle seam, but a bit like the kind of single-door arc-top stone gate that is common in our countryside."

"However, people from our research institute have tried it. Whether it is pushing or pulling or moving left and right, they can't shake the stone door at all. Maybe some organs haven't found the trigger."

The information provided by this scholar is very important, and immediately caused everyone present to fall into deep thought.

Such a stone door opened on one side.

If there is no misjudgment, it generally means the key to the next level.

But now that small stone door can't be opened, it must be because some mechanism has not been triggered.

There is a problem with such a large tomb, the staff of the archaeological team have searched almost inch by inch, and there is nothing superfluous.

Except for the stone statue in front of him, if there is a mechanism, it may be on this thing.

Professor Wen stood directly in front of the several-meter-high stone statue, with his right hand subconsciously placed in the seam of his trousers, beating rhythmically with a certain rhythm.

After half an hour.

Professor Wen said in a slightly puzzled tone.

"I just gave you

As we said, when I discussed with Chu Yun earlier, I felt a little weird about the neat set of armor on this statue.

"But apart from this doubt, there is another problem that is weapons."

"Since the identity of this statue is a military general or a commander in chief, when shaping this character, according to the specifications, his commonly used weapons should also be sculpted as a set.

"This is true in several ancient tombs we have seen in the past."

"And there is no weapon in the hands of this statue, either it was not carved at all when it was first carved, or it is the same as the armor on his body, it is also made of metal

Made a set of weapons. "

"And you can see that the hands of this statue are not placed at the sides in a purely natural way, nor are they posing in any usual movements.

"It's holding hands empty, as if the left and right hands should be holding something, but now it's empty."

"In that case, where did the statue's weapon go?"

Archaeological research, in the case of limited information, is actually mostly a process of analysis and reasoning.

Based on the limited information currently available, as well as some common sense and historical speculations about various statues, Professor Wen naturally gave such a reasonable judgment.

Since the left and right hands are held in a false grip, and it is not in line with the laws of the human body, and it is not like a virtual grip in normal movements.

That being said, there should be something in the statue's hands.

But now there is nothing.

Perhaps the key information is hidden on this missing weapon.

Professor Wen's analysis caused the eyes of several experts and professors present to cast their eyes on the hands of the statue.

Thanks to the fact that the statue is four meters high, the position where the hands are slightly raised is already more than two meters away, and they cannot reach it without the help of tools such as ladders.

Otherwise, Professor Wen and the others really wanted to climb to a high place to have a look.

But even so, the old professors still got a little closer.

And Professor Wen even put on professional gloves, approached the statue, reached out and touched the armor on the bottom of the statue.

However, just as Professor Wen stood on tiptoe.

The moment his hand hadn't touched the hem of the armor.

"Boom!"

With a dull sound, Professor Wen staggered, and then, under the horrified eyes of everyone, he staggered and fell behind him.
