Chapter 287: The Iron Wall! (4000)(1/2)
"This is?!"
Everyone was looking at each other.
They had followed Wu Liang and robbed so many tombs, but they had never encountered a similar situation. How could they be trapped in such a small space in the blink of an eye?
But it's actually not that small. Currently, there is only about ten square meters of space for everyone to move around.
It may be a bit crowded for a group of six people to live in, but if they are just standing like now, the space is actually quite spacious, and it shouldn't be a big problem even if they lie down together.
But that's not the point!
The point is, they seem to be trapped...
"Mr. Master, this must not be an illusion, right?"
Yu Ji's old face wrinkled up again, and he asked with a look of fear.
"Hiss-ah! Talented brother, why are you pinching me so well?!"
Before Wu Liang could respond, Zhuge Liang suddenly screamed in pain.
Then Wu Liangcai unhurriedly took back the hand on the back of Zhuge Liang's neck, and said seriously: "It seems not, Zhuge Xiandi's pain is still very sensitive, and the walls just fell down with a huge sound and violent force. The vibrations cannot be explained by a simple 'hallucination', and the dust that is raised along with them cannot be a deception. I am afraid that we have really triggered the mechanism in the tomb and been trapped here by the connecting trap. .”
"This...what should I do?"
Yu Ji's old face suddenly wrinkled even more tightly, and he started to wail in mourning, "I just wanted to say that these mechanisms and mysteries are very weird, but now I'm really trapped when I try them. Alas - what a sin, I would have known this would be so convenient." Why don't we just accept it when it's good? Why do we have to suffer?"
"I said you are a shameless old boy. When the young master asked you just now, you said that you were unwilling to leave just now, and you would not complain in any case. Now that we have just been trapped, you immediately initiated Complain, do you still have a handle on your broken mouth?"
Yang Wanli finally caught the topic and immediately started mocking him again.
"You, a common man, are born to be at odds with me. I have not complained to anyone until now. Why don't I feel like complaining when my death is about to happen?"
"If you want to complain, just do it in your heart. If you say it out loud, it will disturb the morale of the army. If the young master doesn't care about you, you will be punished by death!"
"Young Master hasn't said anything yet, so it's your turn to teach me a lesson. I think you're just trying to do something for me, and you clearly don't take Young Master seriously!"
"You old boy, don't talk nonsense!"
"You have bad intentions, you idiot!"
"..."
Within two words, the enemies began to argue again, and they were so angry that their faces turned red.
"..."
The rest of the people shook their heads helplessly.
Wu Liang did not say anything to stop the two of them, but continued to observe the situation in front of him.
Everyone knows the temperaments of the two of them. Even if these two guys quarrel non-stop as soon as they open their mouths, they seem to be ready to fight if they disagree with each other. But in fact, they are just bickering and will never do anything out of the ordinary. action.
And once someone is in trouble, another person will definitely come to the rescue regardless of the cost. Just like when Yang Wanli was trapped by "Yun Yang", Yu Ji, who has always been accustomed to retreating from difficulties, entered the secret without hesitation. Tao... So, this kind of quarrel is actually with "love", let them go, as long as it doesn't delay the business.
besides.
The sound of two people arguing can also effectively reduce everyone's fear, just like singing loudly can embolden people when they are scared.
Wu Liang is not worried about covering up other important voices.
Bai Jingjing's hearing is different from ordinary people. Even in the quarrel between the two people, she will never miss any details and give early warning.
I observed this for a while.
The smoke and dust in this octagonal enclosed space dispersed a lot, and Wu Liang's breathing finally became much easier.
What Wu Liang is most worried about now is breathing problems. Through the light of "Suihou Pearl", he has seen his current situation clearly.
In addition to the eight thick walls that tightly block all directions, the dome of the tomb above their heads is still intact. If this closed space is closed enough, the air they can breathe is limited. This is undoubtedly a
Very dangerous signal.
Even if there are some slight gaps between these walls, they will not last too long.
This is like an elevator malfunction in later generations. As they breathe, if the air flow in those gaps is limited, it will also cause the carbon dioxide content in the closed space to increase, and the indoor temperature will rise accordingly. Over time, it can suffocate people to death.
die……
The only thing worth celebrating is.
"Suihou Pearl" can shine without burning. If they use torches, this situation will become more serious.
"Brother Dianwei, come and plunder the formation for me."
Until now, there was no movement. Wu Liang felt that the possibility of this mechanism having a back-up plan was low, so he finally tried to get closer to these walls falling from the sky and take a closer look.
"promise!"
Dian Wei responded and followed Wu Liang with an engineering shovel.
When they heard Wu Liang speak, Yang Wanli and Yu Ji immediately stopped arguing. They glared at each other and looked over, not daring to cause any disturbance to Wu Liang.
Yang Wanli ran over quickly, holding an engineer shovel to protect Wu Liang's other side.
This way you come to the intersection of the two walls.
Wu Liang took a closer look and found that the intersection between these walls was indeed not that close, leaving at least a gap of about 2-3 mm.
This is also good news.
This shows that this closed space is not completely disconnected from the outside world. At least there is some room for air flow, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to hold on for a few hours.
But at the same time, Wu Liang also discovered a very bad situation.
These walls don't seem to be made of ordinary masonry, but are made of very thick bronze?
Through some fresh scratches caused by the friction on the edges when falling down the wall, Wu Liang could clearly see a few touches of bright golden color...
As we all know.
The so-called "bronze" is just the color that appears after the surface is oxidized. Freshly smelted bronze is generally pure golden yellow. Some may also be silvery white or light yellow due to the different proportions of tin and copper.
Combined with the mottled green rust stains on the surface of these walls, it is not difficult to determine their material.
so.
These walls are thick solid bronze walls?!
Wu Liang suddenly felt a little chilled.
If these walls were made of bricks and stones, they might be able to use engineering shovels to forcefully dig out a passage in the walls within a few hours, so that they could escape from this enclosed space.
But if such a thick solid bronze wall...
"Da da da!"
Wu Liang used the copper dagger to hit the wall several times in different positions. The sound returned was slightly dull and seemed to be solid.
"No need to knock it, it's solid."
Seeing Wu Liang turning back to look at her, Bai Jingjing understood instantly and nodded to confirm Wu Liang's judgment.
"..."
Wu Liang's heart suddenly became cold again.
With the current equipment and technical level of the Hu People's Army, there is simply no way to break through such a pure metal wall, let alone breaking it from the inside. Even if all the soldiers of the Hu People's Army enter the mausoleum, there is definitely no way to break it from the outside.
.
Wu Liang can currently think of only two ways for them to escape from here:
One is melting.
Fire can be made from the inside or outside. After reaching a certain temperature, these walls can be melted, so that they can escape from inside.
But this approach is obviously unrealistic.
Not to mention that there is a "big bomb" outside that will explode if it encounters a little spark. Even if there is not, it will require extremely high temperatures to melt these walls. Such temperatures are simply not something they can withstand in a confined space.
I'm afraid these walls have just been heated up and they have already been turned into dried meat.
Not to mention, ignition also requires the consumption of a large amount of combustibles and air, and these conditions are currently impossible to meet.
The other way is to dig.
Just like before, they ordered the Hu army to "crack the roof" of this mausoleum. As long as the entire mausoleum was dug up, these pure metal walls would naturally no longer be able to trap them.
But this approach is obviously unrealistic.
First of all, the Hu army had no way to determine their specific location. It was unknown whether they would have to wait until the year of the monkey to dig here. Wu Liang and others would definitely not be able to survive that time.
Wu Liang estimated that if they could last more than ten hours, that would be the limit of their limits.
By then, even if this closed space has some small gaps through which air can flow, the carbon dioxide concentration and temperature inside will have reached a level that humans cannot store.
Secondly, now his orders cannot be transmitted at all, and without Zhuge Liang to lead the way, it is impossible for the soldiers of the Hu army to get here through the Eight Formation Map.
But other than that.
Wu Liang quickly thought of another digging method - digging downwards!
Dig a passage under these pure metal walls so that they can get out of this enclosed space...
To be continued...
