The Boy with The Dragon Tattoo

Chapter 214: Crater Tomb

Views:

Under the gentle fluorescence of Ye Mingzhu, you can see that the inner wall of the "Crystal Coffin" is a smooth arc, the size of which can lie down an adult.

The inner coffin was milky white and neat as new. On the inner wall of the coffin, there seemed to be some tiny holes and gaps as thick as hairs, which could not be seen without careful observation. I don't know if it is used for ventilation or what it is.

"Feel it with your hands." Su Rui reminded Zi Yang.

Zi Yang reached out his hand and carefully touched the inner wall of the coffin, and looked at Su Rui in surprise.

"This, this is ceramic?"

Su Rui nodded.

Zi Yang took a deep breath and said, "Although ceramic coffins have been heard before, they are very rare. Such large and complete ceramic coffins seem to have no record in history."

Su Rui nodded: "Yes, it is very difficult to fire large ceramics, and it is easy to crack or leave flaws. However, regardless of other aspects, only from the physical performance, the coffin made of ceramics should be the best way to preserve the corpse. Good equipment."

Zi Yang said: "I remember reading from books before that ceramics is the most stable thing on earth. If civilization on earth is destroyed one day, all the symbols of human civilization-metal, architecture, books, wood, plastics Wait... It will slowly decompose, corrode, weather, and disappear over the long years. Only ceramics will be preserved intact and become the last vestiges of civilization."

Su Rui nodded: "In theory, this is the case."

Zi Yang looked at the crystal cover next to him, and hesitated: "Is this a crystal ceramic coffin in front of us?"

Su Rui stroked the inside of the coffin with his fingers, "I can't confirm that ceramics are suitable for making small urns, but it is unheard of to make such a large coffin. The key is that the crystal ceramics in front of us The craftsmanship of the coffin is so exquisite, and the details are almost as perfect. Can ancient humans master such a technology?"

Zi Yang groaned: "Pottery and porcelain have a long cultural history in China, and some of the techniques that ancestors have mastered are incredible even today. Among the relics of the Qin Dynasty that were unearthed more than 2,000 years ago in Xi'an, There is a section of sewer made of intact pottery, and the craftsmanship level of the interface made by it is not outdated today.

There is also crystal craftsmanship. In a mound tomb in the Warring States Period, a crystal plain glass cup was once unearthed, and its craftsmanship made it impossible to believe that it was an ancient product. "

Su Rui nodded, "I've seen the information as you say this, but it's insignificant compared to what is in front of us. You see the quality and size of the ceramic inner coffin and crystal coffin lid are so perfect. ."

Su Rui walked around to the other side of the crystal coffin, "Come on, let's lift it up."

The two gently lifted the crystal lid and slowly closed it on the ceramic coffin. The edge of the crystal coffin lid fits perfectly with the ceramic coffin body.

"Look, it fits perfectly—I even suspect that a sealed vacuum can be formed inside—it doesn’t look like a work created by ancient humans."

Zi Yang opened the lid of the crystal coffin again—the place connected to the body of the coffin seemed to have used some kind of ingenious coupling technology. The heavy crystal coffin was turned over without jerky, and there was almost no frictional resistance.

Zi Yang stretched his hand across the smooth glaze of the ceramic, feeling that the tentacles were extremely smooth, without any flaws, and he not only sighed for its ingenious exquisite craftsmanship.

Su Rui sighed: "Although the age of this crystal ceramic coffin cannot be seen, the scars on the soil covered by the outer layer must be older than the Mongolian general tomb above, as well as these crevices and holes. I really can’t figure out how to make it. Even modern craftsmanship does not necessarily make it to such a level."

Zi Yang said: "It's weird, what's the origin of this thing depending on you?"

Su Ruidao: "From the perspective of the quality of this ceramic, I judge that this is not ordinary ceramics, but space ceramics-I once practiced in an aerospace unit in Europe and saw similar products."

Zi Yang wondered: "Can things like ceramics be used on spacecraft?"

Su Rui nodded: "Space ceramics are also an important material in aerospace science and technology because of their high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, good insulation, and radiation protection."

Zi Yang questioned: "You mean this thing is a modern technology product? Then who put it in? How did the question put it in?"

Su Rui stood up and took a deep breath, "Even with the current level of human technology, it may not be possible to make such a product. I suspect that this is a super-civilized device that surpasses human technology."

Zi Yang opened his mouth in surprise: "What do you mean? This is a prehistoric relic of an alien civilization?"

At this time, Qingwen and A Chong also walked over from the thick fog. They had probed the edge of the entire platform, and heard the voices of the two discussing, they also walked over.

Looking at the "ceramic crystal coffin" in front of them, the two were also very surprised.

Zi Yang asked them how they were patrolling, and A Chong said in a deep voice: "We were all wrong before. This high platform is not artificially built, but is actually a small natural crater."

Zi Yang was stunned: "The craters? Do you mean like those craters on the moon?"

A Chong nodded.

Although the visibility is very low and it is impossible to see things a few meters away, Zi Yang still habitually looked around and asked in surprise: "Is this a crater impacted by falling objects from high altitude?"

Everyone looked at the crystal ceramic coffin in front of them. If the center of the crater was the origin of the impact, then the only thing falling from the height that impacted downward was the "Crystal Ceramic Coffin".

Judging from the current area of the crater, the impact strength should be very large. According to the volume of this crystal coffin, even if knowledge of physics is limited, Zi Yang can infer that if such impact strength is to be caused, this crystal ceramic The coffin may have fallen from outer space.

But the whole cave is closed, so where did this coffin fly down? Could it be that it didn't come out of the ground

All these violations of common sense of physics puzzled everyone.

Su Rui also told A Chong about their findings, and A Chong held the crystal coffin with one hand and fell into contemplation.

Obviously, this "Crystal Ceramic Coffin" does not come from the earth.

A Chong stroked the thick rock shell covering the outer coffin and said, "Did the crystal ball the silver stolen be taken from the crystal coffin?"

Zi Yang suddenly remembered the first group of people who had contact with the crystal coffin, "I will bring Liu Xiaoshuai over and ask."

Lao Wang sat cross-legged on the ground and was chatting with Liu Xiaoshuai, watching Zi Yang hurriedly walk through the thick fog, frowning and saying: "Lao Li, what are you doing over there? I just chatted with Xiaoshuai for a long time and found this Also a bitter boy..."

Zi Yang didn't have time to go with him, so he took Liu Xiaoshuai and left.

Liu Xiaoshuai was dragged to the crystal ceramic coffin by Zi Yang, watching the crowd with serious faces, and they were so scared that they bowed and bowed to A Chong, Su Rui and others, "Big brother, big sister, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again." What a bad thing!"

Zi Yang patted the back of his head lightly: "What are you thinking about? I'm not going to execute you. Let's understand the situation with you!"

Liu Xiaoshuai touched the back of his head O'ao repeatedly, "I, what I know, has already told you..."

A Chong asked, "Did the crystal ball be taken out from under this stolen hole?"

Liu Xiaoshuai nodded.

Su Rui said softly: "Tell us about the complete process of opening the coffin."

Liu Xiaoshuai said with a sad face: "My, my professional expertise is blasting and digging. This kind of specific coffin opening work is done by the cronies of the silver boss. It is not my turn at all-right, boss Hao, boss Hao is here. I opened the coffin with Yinzi."

Zi Yang said to A Chong, "I'll bring him here!"

A Chong nodded, and added: "Bring Lao Wang and Jin Guoqiang with them. Don't be too scattered."

Zi Yang nodded, turned and disappeared into the thick fog.

After a while, Lao Wang carried Jin Guoqiang, and Zi Yang walked out of the thick fog with Xiao Hei's body in his arms. Followed by Mr. Hao with his head drooping, Mr. Xie with his head shrunk, and Mr. Mo, who held the dzi like the Statue of Liberty.

"Senior, you don't need to hold the dzi stone all the time, it will be effective if you leave it." Su Rui saw that Mo Lao San was really struggling to hold the dzi stone, and couldn't help but persuade him.

Old Mo shook his head like a rattle: "That's different, that's different, one inch long and one inch strong. If I raise the dzi stone a little bit higher, then our safety distance will be larger, although only one or two meters, but Sometimes just one or two meters away can save everyone's life."

Seeing that he insisted, Su Rui was too embarrassed to persuade him, and smiled and ignored him.

"Hey, this is the crystal coffin?" Mo Lao San saw the baby in front of him, as if a fly had seen shit, he couldn't help but leaned forward and stretched his neck to look inside.

Zi Yang saw that he was still holding the dzi stone above his head, and hurriedly greeted him: "Be careful, don't slip your hand. You can drop the dzi stone and smash this'baby'."

"How come, the old man is not a frizzy young man..." Mo Lao San said, suddenly dangling the dzi stone on the crystal coffin, looking at Zi Yang with a shy smile.

People in their 50s and 60s are still playing this!

Zi Yang looked at him like an old naughty boy, but he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Wait a minute! Don't move!" Su Rui suddenly yelled out loud, her voice was very rapid, and Mo Lao San was shocked.
