But no matter how it changes, kerosene has a common characteristic. They are generally colloidal liquids that can flow, but are very viscous, flammable when exposed to fire, and will not deteriorate after thousands of years.
For example, the kerosene placed in ancient tombs is generally of the kind with a relatively low ignition point, so that it can be used as an ever-burning lamp, and it will burn forever for thousands of years.
Chen Hao didn't study the use of these kerosene. After finding a suitable position, he grabbed the wall with one hand and stretched out with the other to pull out the model of the ancient building hidden behind the stone.
It was a fist-sized model of an ancient building, heavy in the hand, with a metallic texture, but warm to the touch. It turned out to be a model carved from a piece of sapphire.
Sapphire is a very rare kind of jade, which is priceless. This fist-sized piece is estimated to be sold for hundreds of millions. It can be seen that the people of the old Zhang family are worth a lot!
"I said macho, have you found the source of the light?"
Fatty's voice came from below.
Wu Xie got dizzy for a while, but didn't have the energy to refute him.
Chen Hao held the model of the ancient building, shook it in front of their eyes and said, "I found a model of the ancient building, which is exactly the same as the ancient building in the mirror."
Chapter 286 It's Just a Little Trick
Hearing the words, the fat man and the two quickly raised their heads to look at the model of the ancient building in Chen Hao's hand, and were amazed at the lifelike appearance.
"Damn it! I just said that the things in the mirror are weird, and it turns out that the weirdness is on the top of the cave." The fat man said.
"It turned out to be a model. I understand. The model of the ancient building is hidden on the roof of the cave. It reflects the light through some special material in the cave. This is invisible to us. That's why we mistakenly think that the ancient building is coming out of a mirror." Yes." Wu Xie suddenly realized.
"Come on, since you have broken the mystery here, come down quickly, the foreman promised to pay you." The fat man urged.
Chen Hao nodded, put the ancient building model back in his hand, so as not to trigger any mechanism, and then quickly climbed down from the wall.
After seeing him come down, the fat man said with great interest: "There is so much kerosene hidden in this cave, and, looking at the direction of the kerosene, it is obviously intentional. I think it must be very spectacular to burn, otherwise Shall we try?"
On the walls around the cave, all the crevices in the rocks are full of kerosene, which circles and circles upwards. If ignited, it is very likely to form a spectacular sea of flames.
It was precisely because of this that Fatty was so curious and wanted to sabotage. The journey was exhausting, so he wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge.
After hearing what the fat man said, Chen Hao walked into one of the gaps to look, and found that there was a cotton wick mixed in the kerosene, which was obviously a fire primer.
He nodded, expressing his agreement with the fat man.
Wu Xie was worried that the ignition point of the kerosene would be too high, and the entire cave would be burned down, so she disagreed with Fatty's approach.
The fat man said with a serious expression: "Comrade innocent and innocent, the minority obeys the majority. Even Brother Hao supports me in doing this, so you don't care about his mother-in-law. If you don't let this fire go, I will feel uncomfortable in my heart."
Wu Xie frowned and said, "But... look at the kerosene here, once it is ignited, the kerosene hidden in the entire cave has to be burned before it can be extinguished. If you go to put out the fire with such a big fire, how many people will die? And The oil ditches of these fire oils are all connected, you can’t just extinguish one side, the other side will burn right away, then you can’t ask the comrades in the army to come over and put out the fire?”
The fat man stroked his chin and looked at the whole cave, nodded and said, "That makes sense, but the kerosene must be related to the secret of this mirror, naive, don't you want to know what secret is hidden in this mirror?"
After hearing what he said, Wu Xie showed a hesitant expression, and for a moment didn't know how to answer the fat man's words.
Seeing his hesitation, the fat man said, "Okay, naive, don't hesitate, just do what you want. Teacher Ma said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"
After finishing speaking, the fat man took out a windproof lighter from his pocket and lit it with a snap before Wu Xie agreed.
"Fatty man, don't mess around! These kerosene..."
Before Wu Xie could finish speaking, the fat man had already thrown the windproof lighter into one of the oil ditch.
The ignition point of this kind of kerosene is extremely high, almost the moment the lighter was thrown out, flames burst out of it, and immediately after, a fire dragon sprang out from the oil ditch.
The fire was too fierce, and Chen Hao was worried that the two of them would be burned by the fire, so he quickly pulled the stunned Fatty and Wu Xie onto the mirror in the pool.
Everyone was dumbfounded. The moment the fire dragon spewed out, it circled up the surrounding walls. Wherever it went, it would leave a trail of fire, illuminating the entire cave.
At the same time, the temperature in the cave rose rapidly, and the air was filled with the smell of fire oil.
After waiting for a full ten minutes, the fire dragon reached the top of the cave, and all the fire formed an upside-down horn, which looked very spectacular.
All the flames shone on the ancient building in the mirror, illuminating the ancient building inside, and it looked a bit like a dream.
"Damn, this design is awesome!" the fat man said with dull eyes.
Wu Xie scolded angrily: "You fucking insane, if explosives were buried in this cave, we would all be buried alive by the stones on top of our heads now! Fat Lord, can you be more reliable and let us brothers How many years to live?"
Wu Xie looked at the bright fire in the cave and the clear shadow of the ancient building in the mirror, and immediately understood the principle of the formation of the ancient building in the mirror.
Wu Xie explained: "So that's the case. It's actually just a trick, and it originated from a kind of magic in Persia."
The fat man asked, "Oh, Persian magic? Then tell me what's so special about this magic."
Wu Xie turned on the flashlight, pointed at a dark blue stone inlaid on the wall, and said, "This kind of stone is called moon stone, and it is a special stone from Persia. This kind of stone is very dim in the sun, but in the It is particularly bright under the moonlight, so it is called moon stone."
"The light from our flashlights and torches is a kind of moonlight, which can greatly increase the intensity of light reflected by the moonstones. The Zhang family inlaid these moonstones in the cave in a delicate way, which is very concealed. If you don't look carefully, you will mistakenly think it is just an ordinary stone."
"I don't understand what you said, so I just want to know, how did my brother and the others appear in the mirror image of the ancient building?" the fat man asked.
Wu Xie explained: "That's because there is something else wrong with the model of the ancient building above. Style Lei's methods are really powerful. This kind of technology originated from the Western side. As a result, Style Lei used Western technology so exquisitely. I didn't think of it."
"Then what is the purpose of setting up such a mechanism? It's so complicated, it can't be used to scare people, right?" the fat man asked again.
"I guess the purpose of their doing this should be for lighting. Think about this ancient building built deep in the mountain, there is no light source here, and they want to carry out such a huge project in such a dark environment , it is very inconvenient, so I made such a lighting system. In this way, it can effectively prevent torches from being brought into the ancient building. The entire ancient building is made of wood, and once it is burned, it cannot be extinguished at all. !" Wu Xie continued to explain.
Wu Xie snapped his fingers again and said, "I don't know how big the project of this ancient building is, but I estimated that even if there are more than 300 people, it will take three or four years to complete."
Chen Hao didn't bother to listen to Wu Xie's explanation, he hurriedly said: "Okay, don't study these things anymore, the oxygen here is about to be used up, we'd better leave here early."
Both of them nodded after hearing his words.
At this moment, the fire in the cave suddenly dimmed. It seemed that Chen Hao had predicted that the oxygen here was being consumed rapidly under such a strong fire.
Chapter 287 Finding the Ancient Building
Immediately afterwards, a series of sounds of iron chains being pulled were heard, as if some mechanism had been triggered.
"It's over, run!" the fat man exclaimed.
Wu Xie was still stunned, and asked without knowing why: "What's going on??"
Chen Hao hurriedly dragged him to the passage ahead, and the fat man said while running: "It seems that the air pressure here activated the mechanism, and the mechanisms here are all made of stones, which are too heavy, and must be activated by air pressure. Here is an air pump!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, the bottom of everyone's feet was empty, and the ground under their feet collapsed, and Wu Xie and Fatty fell down immediately.
The fat man and the two were desperately grabbing, trying to grab something to fix their bodies, but they couldn't catch anything, and they were engulfed by the water and fell to the bottom.
Chen Hao possessed the lightness skill of floating on water, and he had already used it the moment he fell, and his whole body flew into the air.
In this short moment, the passage ahead was also blocked by a huge stone, and the way out was completely blocked.
