The Secret History of Mars

"So, these sun jade stores the radiant light energy of the sun?" Yuan Yizhou wanted to confirm again, "Then what are these sun jade?"

"Mr. Yuan's questions are always strange. Sun Jade is Sun Jade. It is the same jade as the sun. Each jade ball is a shrunken and cooled sun, so it can use the same energy code as their home planet. . If you have to ask what the Sun Jade is, it is a little sun! "The high priest obviously didn't know much about the Shi Yi Ji. At this time, everyone had followed the high priest to the entrance of the ladder, which could reach directly to the ground. The Ladder to Heaven, which replaced the Sun Jade, attracted everyone's attention.

Oncoming is a huge round stone tablet about 10 meters in diameter. The material of the stone tablet is similar to the sun jade used for lighting. It spontaneously emits a warm and jade-like light. Different from the smooth surface of the sun jade ball for lighting, its It is carved with complex patterns and patterns.

Yuan Yizhou, Cui Xingmeng and Feng Shuhai walked to the stone tablet and carefully observed the patterns on it.

"The layout of these patterns is very similar to the Aztec sun stone!" Feng Shuhai was the first to see the clues.

"Yes, it's just that in the center of the Aztec Sun Stone is the image of the sun god. The diameter is less than 4 meters, which is far smaller than this stone tablet!" Yuan Yizhou agreed with Feng Shuhai's appraisal.

"I remember the Aztec sun stone. There was an eagle's talons on the left and right sides of the sun god's face, grasping the heart of a sacrificer!" I went to Mexico for an academic visit that year, and Aztec from the National Museum of Anthropology said Cui Xingmeng was deeply impressed by the treasure in Ziteke's exhibition hall. Especially after thousands of years of wind and frost, the bloody patterns on the stone tablets are still scary to think about. "The image in the center of this stele is more like a...monkey..." Cui Xingmeng told the truth.

"That is the image of our deity, but it is much more expensive than the crude calendar stone and gold made by your Shi Yi Ji." The high priest heard the conversation between the three people and interrupted in time to correct him, "And our deity has stopped eating it a long time ago. After thousands of years of practice, he has long since shed his animal nature and entered samadhi to become a god!"

"You have stopped eating people's hearts a long time ago?! In other words, Wuzhiqi has indeed eaten people? Is it a historical fact that you sacrificed living people?!" Cui Xingmeng's surprise was no small matter.

"Do you think the ancient history of the Shiyi Period was a time of peace and prosperity?" This time it was the high priest's turn to despise Cui Xingmeng, "We will take the ladder to heaven later. If you don't want to be eaten by the god, everyone should be quiet!" The high priest took the opportunity to scare Cui Xingmeng. .

"This is the VIP passage built by He Bo to show his filial piety to the God, so that he can go to the top of the tower to sunbathe. Ordinary people are not allowed to take this road. See that you are He Bo's distinguished guests, and the God should be meeting him at this moment. You two, you shouldn’t care about us using the ladder, so I brought you here.” The high priest who calmed down felt a little regretful about the swollen face he had just made when he was provoked, but he had already led everyone to the door of the ladder. , I can only bite the bullet and hope that I will not be touched by the god.

The ladder to the sky is actually an escalator powered by this huge sun stone. After standing on the steps, just like the teleportation platform on the tower just now, the steps they were standing on began to slowly accelerate downward. After descending one floor, Cui Xingmeng and others left the top of the pyramid, which was illuminated by the sun's jade balls, and arrived inside the pyramid. Only then did they realize that the high priest was not unjust when he said they were rare and strange.

Inside the pyramid, not only is there plenty of light, but it is also filled with gold, silver, jade, and sacrificial supplies. These jewelry reflect the light that shines on it, making it extremely dazzling.

Yuan Yizhou discovered that the sun jade used for lighting was no longer needed here. The entire pyramid was actually transparent when viewed from the inside out. Not only could there be sufficient sunlight, but even the blue sky and white clouds of the Qiyan Period could be clearly seen. .

Here, you can also see the full view of the ladder in the tower more clearly. The ladder is not an escalator-style path that goes straight up and down. Instead, it starts from a huge round sun stone and extends downward in an elegant arc. A group of people standing on it and slowly descending feel like a heavenly being descending to earth, so beautiful!

"What do you think of the material of the tower wall?" Yuan Yizhou felt that although the high priest was very good at expressing himself, science and theology were not exactly the same after all. For some issues, he might gain more insight by discussing them with his professional partner.

"It should be a crystal coated with some kind of coating. Just now we came up from the outside of the tower. There is no perspective on the outer tower wall, but looking from the inside out, the perspective effect is so good. This shows the purity of the crystal and the coating process. They are all reaching their peak." Feng Shuhai was also thinking about similar issues to Yuan Yizhou, so when he opened his mouth, he told all his thoughts.

"This is Shi Yiji's method to build this kind of building. I don't think Qi Yanji will use a coating process with a very high pollution index." Yuan Yizhou has not thought about the possibility that Feng Shuhai said, but if that is the case, then It’s too Shiyiji.

"Indeed, if such a large crystal is to be coated with a composite film system with such excellent barrier and penetration effects, the wastewater that needs to be discharged is enough to turn their earth gold necklace into a thin necklace, not to mention the The treatment of waste gas and chemical waste. "Feng Shuhai thinks Yuan Yizhou's statement is reasonable. In this Qiyan Period where nature and man are united, everything in the Shiyi Period was sacrificed for the environment in exchange for so-called civilization and technology. In the Qiyan Period, people In his eyes, it should be regarded as a clumsy technique.

"High Priest, what kind of material is this pyramid made of? It looks so clear from the inside. It is indeed bright!" Cui Xingmengji seamlessly switched between magic and flattery. Listening to the clueless conversation between Yuan Yizhou and Feng Shuhai, it might as well be Ask the person in front of you directly.

"This is the sunstone, the guide of the sun's rays. The entire pyramid is made of sunstone, so of course it is translucent!" the high priest said proudly.

‘Asking is like not asking. It’s better to bring water from the sky. I guess if you ask what a sunstone is, he should say that a sunstone is a sunstone. Mr. Yuan, why do you ask such a strange question? ’ Cui Xingmeng rolled her eyes and complained to Yuan Yizhou in her heart.

‘Honey, Sunstone is not the name of Qi Yanji. It is also very popular in our industry, but the name is more popular. ’ Yuan Yizhou responded to his lover in his heart.

‘You mean the sunstone we call feldspar-like gemstones? ! That sunstone that’s the same price as Hetian jade? ! 'Cui Xingmeng thought in surprise.

’ It’s very possible, and this characteristic of being transparent on the inside and impermeable on the outside is probably the best among sunstones, Sun Lun Jade! 'Yuan Yizhou responded.
