Metropolis: I started with the Great Perfection!

Chapter 159 Huge Bronze Coffin

At this moment, the assistant behind him spoke.

"Mr. Gao, the air in the underground palace last night has been detected, and no harmful gases or unknown gases were found!"

"Ok?"

"Is there no mercury in the air?"

Gao Lao frowned slightly when he heard this.

According to historical records, hundreds of tons of mercury were used to create rivers in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

Now more than two thousand years later, there is definitely a lot of volatilization in the air. Once inhaled accidentally, it will be fatal!

It stands to reason that there must be mercury in this underground palace!

However, the assistant's answer made him frown even deeper.

"Mr. Gao, no mercury component was detected in any of the ten samples."

That's right, the assistant used the equipment to go deep into the hole to collect air last night.

In order to avoid errors, ten samples were collected directly to avoid errors to the greatest extent.

Unexpectedly, the results of the ten samples were similar.

At this time, Gao Lao was thinking about why mercury did not appear.

"Could it be?"

"Is there an error in the records in ancient books? There is no mercury in the underground palace?"

"No, archaeologists have previously used advanced instruments to detect that there is indeed a large amount of mercury underground!"

"Then there is only one other possibility!"

Gao Lao thought about it and finally settled on a possibility, that is...

"There is a high probability that this underground palace exists alone! It is not connected with the main tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum!"

Only with this explanation can everything make sense.

"But if they are not connected, why is it built so close to the main tomb?"

Once one question is solved, another one follows.

"Well, it's useless to think about this now. The truth will be revealed after everything goes on!"

Thinking of this, he ordered the people behind him:

"start!"

After everyone heard this, they took out searchlights, ladders, ropes, and various instruments and prepared to carry out exploration and excavation work.

According to China's cultural relic protection policy, active excavation of large-scale imperial tombs is not allowed for the time being.

Under normal circumstances, protection is the priority and rescue comes first.

But now a corner of the tomb has been opened, and the air and light have appeared.

If it is not excavated, the cultural relics inside may be really damaged.

This is why the expedition team arrived.

Moreover, the large army behind them is also rapidly gathering, waiting for any signal from here.

-

The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang recorded in ancient books is extremely dangerous, with traps and crossbows everywhere.

Otherwise, how could he resist so many young people?

Everyone knew this truth, so they just arranged for two experts who were well versed in the mechanics of the tomb to go and investigate.

After the two experts descended the ladder and rope to the underground palace, they used searchlights to observe.

The entire underground palace is extremely empty, and there are two huge murals carved on the walls of the underground palace.

There is a huge coffin in the center of the underground palace!

Preliminary visual inspection shows that it is about four meters long and two meters wide.

It’s not huge!

This huge coffin alone is enough to become a national treasure!

There are eight pottery figurines standing around the coffin, six of which have been seriously damaged.

Other than that, nothing else!

There is only so much stuff in such a huge underground palace!

The two experts carefully probed and found that there was no mechanism here!

This discovery made them suspicious.

But he didn't hesitate much, and instead passed on the information here.

"No secret passages have been discovered yet."

"Here... you'd better come down and see for yourself."

The expert didn't know how to explain the situation here.

I have excavated many tombs over the years, but I have never seen a tomb like this before.

Soon, Elder Gao left the necessary people behind and took the remaining people down to the underground palace one by one.

This time they brought so much equipment that they lit up the entire underground palace at once!

A square underground palace with walls on all sides and no doors!

"Huh? No way?"

This discovery surprised Gao Lao and others.

However, Gao Lao did not believe that this underground palace would have no door.

However, after careful detection, everyone found that there was no trace of the door!

Gao Lao thought for a moment and then thought of a possibility.

"It seems that this underground palace was built from the inside out!"

"At the last moment, the door became a wall! There was no door anymore!"

After everyone heard Gao Lao's words, they felt that this explanation made sense, and turned their attention elsewhere.

However, the most eye-catching thing about the entire underground palace is naturally the huge coffin placed in the center of the hall!

Mr. Gao didn't speak just now, and no one dared to step forward to investigate.

Now that the question about the door has been solved, everyone's eyes can't help but look at this huge coffin.

Gao Lao naturally noticed this.

After walking in and taking a closer look, I discovered that this huge coffin was actually made of bronze!

There are countless auspicious decorations on the coffin.

Such as auspicious clouds, auspicious animals, dragons, cranes, etc. are all available.

"Such a large bronze vessel is rare in the world!"

As we all know, the largest bronze in the world so far is the Simuwu Dafang Ding stored in the National Museum of China.

It is 133 centimeters tall, has a mouth length of 79.2 centimeters, and weighs 875 kilograms.

Such a scale is already the largest in the world.

But the bronze coffin in front of me...

What a great discovery! !

Absolutely a huge discovery!

The Chinese cultural relics world is about to experience an earthquake! !

"This...this...Mr. Gao..."

One of the experts looked at the huge bronze in front of him in stunned silence and stammered.

When Gao Lao heard this, he immediately understood.

"Report it, it's important."

Gao Lao decided to report it to the head of the direct department. For such a major discovery, they would definitely report it to the Cabinet Council.

"In addition, in the name of the Huaxia Cultural Relics Bureau, apply to the Public Security Bureau here for the entry of WJ forces."
