Most of the people present were old men, and they were weak and did not dare to get too close to the ice coffin. Professor Fang asked someone to use a camera to pull the text on the stone tablet closer, and everyone looked at it on the computer.
The more I saw Kong Lao and others, the more I was surprised. This place was Cao Cao’s real tomb. This person was the most fake tombs in history. When everyone recalled the situation before, they found that many places were implicated in Cao Cao.
"I really didn't expect it! I actually set my tomb under another emperor and used others as a shield." Old Yan said.
"What a pity! I was discovered. He left too many tricks, and it was difficult not to doubt people. As the saying goes, smartness is just mistaken for intelligence!" Old Xu said with a smile.
Kong Lao nodded: "No wonder he could take out Hua Tuo's relics and put down so many mechanisms and traps. I really didn't expect that this man was even more terrifying than what was recorded in historical books, and he actually hid so many treasures. Unfortunately, he failed to crack the contents of the Heavenly Book, otherwise the Three Kingdoms might be unified under his conquest."
"What is the origin of the ice coffin? After a thousand years, it still emits such a strong chill without any sign of melting. And when did the eight headlights start to burn, and what fuel is inside, which can burn for so long?" Old Li frowned.
This sentence made everyone think. The character of Cao Cao is really amazing. After his death, he can leave so many mysteries for future generations. Especially the ice coffin, such an example is definitely the first time in ancient and modern times. The lamp that has been burning forever is often heard, but no one has seen the light that has truly burned for thousands of years.
"I don't know the situation of the ice coffin. The fire is also strange. Some are like the ten thousand-year-old lamps in ancient legends, all of which are blue. They are just described according to the legend. This ten thousand-year-old lamp is used to burn the oil of a mysterious creature in the East China Sea. It is very resistant to burning, but it is said that there is only a ray of blue flame, not that big. There is another possibility, that is, the eternal lamp that everyone often hears." Kong Lao said.
Everyone knows very little about the everlasting lamp that Mr. Kong said, but the eternal lamp is not unfamiliar with it.
The eternal lamp, also known as the eternal lamp, or the endless lamp, is the lamp that always brightens day and night before the Buddha. Since ancient times, the eternal lamp has been lit by every household on New Year's Eve. Once it is lit, it cannot be blown out until the oil is exhausted and the candles will eventually go out. This is an ancient traditional custom. The eternal lamp will also be placed in the tombs of Chinese kings, hoping that it can be as bright as the palaces in their lifetime.
Let’s not mention the so-called eternal lights on New Year’s Eve in folk New Year’s Eve. It’s not uncommon for everyone to be in ancient tombs. They can indeed burn for a long time. However, the length is limited, and it is impossible to achieve the point of immortality for a thousand years.
According to previous research, a kind of eternal lamp is a double-layer structure. A container inside contains lamp oil and the wick is soaked in vinegar. The outer layer is filled with water to cool the lamp oil. This is a great invention because the oil consumed by the oil lamp is not mainly ignited, but is evaporated by heat. The wick soaked with vinegar is not easy to maintain a low temperature, and the water outside the oil jar can also effectively prevent the oil temperature from rising. But eternal brightness is ultimately an ideal wish.
During the excavation of Dingling in the capital, there was a large celadon in the main hall of the mausoleum, which contained wax lamp oil. There was also a wick, which was the eternal lamp, but it was obviously the lamp went out shortly after the mausoleum was closed, because the closed tomb lacked the air needed for combustion.
Not only at home, but also abroad, there are many legends and discoveries about eternal lanterns.
There are tomb robbers all over the world, and they try their best to go to the ancient tombs to steal gold, silver and jewelry that have been buried for thousands of years. The ancient tombs are often isolated from the world. The treasures are preserved quite well after thousands of years. In this ancient tomb that has never seen the sun all year round, tomb robbers usually think that they should be unable to see their hands. But sometimes they are frightened to find that a bright light is casting on the arches of some ancient tombs.
During the Roman Empire in Western Europe, in Syria, Eastern Roman soldiers discovered that a lamp was lit in a pass niche, and the lamp was covered by a delicate cover, which seemed to be used to block the wind. According to the inscriptions discovered at that time, it can be seen that the lamp was lit in 27 AD. When the soldiers discovered it, the lamp had been burning for 500 years. Unfortunately, the barbarian soldiers quickly destroyed it, and no one knew the principle of this mysterious lamp.
The never-ending lamp naturally became a topic of debate in the academic world. Some people believe that the records of eternal lights in countries around the world are enough to make people sure that there is indeed such an unextinguished lamp or a long-lasting lamp, but the technology is lost, which is not understood by people today. Most knowledgeable people in the Middle Ages believed that this unextinguished lamp did exist, and believed that this lamp had some magic.
Another group of people believe that although there are so many records about eternal lights, there is no eternal light in full view of everyone in reality, and the energy problem of this kind of lamp seriously violates the law of conservation of energy, so this kind of lamp that does not turn off should not exist. Many people think that this may be a clever joke made by the ancients in the book.
But no matter what, the eternal lamp has left a mysterious mark in the hearts of the world.
As for the ten thousand years of lamps that Kong Lao said, in fact, he was very suspicious of the legend of the ten thousand years of lamps, because the record said that it was a kind of oil of mermaids on the seabed. He did not believe that there was really such a mermaid in this world.
"Tianbao, what do you think?" Kong Lao asked. After all, this guy always likes to study these strange things, maybe he really knows it.
Hong Tianbao pondered for a moment and said, "From the flame alone, there is actually no problem, and many flames are also blue. However, I have a guess that it may be natural gas inside, not the eternal light that everyone guesses.
First, if we look closely, we will find that the fuel inside is gas.
Second, we actually have a lot of gas and fuels, but in natural state, it is natural gas.
Third, we may be guessing when these eight lamps began to burn. If I guess correctly, they did burn for thousands of years. It is very likely that there is a natural gas field below, and Cao Cao went straight to ignite it.
We look at it objectively, the construction here is indeed amazing. The ventilation system is so well done, and eight large flames are burning together, but oxygen can still be supplied. And if the drying technology here is good, after all, natural gas burns, it will produce water vapor."
When everyone heard this view, they were shocked again.
"Has gas been discovered at that time?" said a young man.
"This is not surprising! Oil was discovered during the Han Dynasty in our country and was used for a certain amount, but it was not used on a large scale." Professor Fang said.
Professor Fang's words are well-founded. Natural gas and oil have been recorded in classics a long time ago.
The time when the people of our country discovered and used oil was the earliest in the world. According to the investigation, it began more than three thousand years ago.
The earliest record of discovering oil originated from the Book of Changes: "There is fire in the worm", "there is fire in the worm" refers to lakes and ponds. "There is fire in the worm" is a description of the phenomenon of oil vapor catching fire on the water surface of lakes and ponds. This book was compiled during the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC to 771 BC), and is more than 3,000 years ago.
The earliest ancient books to recognize performance and record oil production are the "Han Shu Geography" written by the Eastern Han Dynasty writer and historian Ban Gu (32-92 AD). The book says: "There is flammable water in Gaonu County that can be flammable." Gaonu County refers to the current Yan'an area in Shaanxi, where flammable water is a tributary of the Yan River. The place of oil production is clearly recorded here, and it is stated that oil is a liquid like water that can be burned.
"In fact, why bother to guess? You'll know if you find someone to identify the composition of the gas. I just think that natural gas is the most likely. If there is really a gas field below, then we are actually very dangerous. Because the gas field itself is a bomb, if you are not careful, everyone will fall into disaster." Hong Tianbao said.
Kong Lao and others nodded. After analyzing this, they were more willing to accept Hong Tianbao's view than the ancient legendary Wannian Lantern.
Professor Fang asked someone to find a technician to analyze the chemical composition of the gas. Everyone continued to look at the ice coffin: "What's going on with the ice coffin? And why do everything here need to be raised?"
Hong Tianbao smiled slightly: "Did you pay attention to the top of here just now at the exit above?"
Kong Lao and others frowned. Someone shot the flashlight, but it was too high and there was nothing to notice. Professor Fang seemed to remember something and said, "I was also surprised at the beginning! There seemed to be some small holes on the top."
Hong Tianbao nodded: "Let's think about what's on it again."
This reminds everyone of the tomb above, which contains a huge amount of mercury. Thinking of this, everyone feels chill all over. This move is not poisonous.
"Huh! Fortunately, we didn't move the things here, otherwise..." An expert couldn't continue.
Professor Fang glanced at Hong Tianbao and praised: "Not bad! Observe carefully."
"Then aren't we really dangerous? Below are things that explode, and above are mercury that can be poisoned." A young man exclaimed.
"So! Cao Cao didn't leave any chance for the tomb robbers." Hong Tianbao smiled.
He looked at the ice coffin and frowned and said, "Have you ever heard of the Yin acupoint?"
At this time, old men, Professor Fang and other senior qualifications woke up. There are Yin acupoints on the earth and Yang acupoints, which is a Feng Shui concept. It is said that Yin acupoints continuously produce yin energy, and the yin energy is extremely cold. But it seems that there is no such power that will prevent ice from melting for thousands of years?
"If there is a yin acupoint under the ice coffin, it means that this is a place that is absolutely yin." Hong Tianbao continued.
No one can tell the question exactly, and Hong Tianbao has no convincing evidence, so everyone has to put it aside. Professor Fang asked someone to take all the text on the stone tablet for research.
Mr. Kong, Mr. Yan and others watched the treasures, but did not dare to move around. Professor Fang was looking carefully, hoping to find the mechanism inside, without worrying about everyone.
