"How to do it?"
I smiled speechlessly.
If this wall were someone else, it would not be possible to open it unless it was excavated by the state.
Because if there is a big movement, the place will collapse, just like using explosives, which is very risky and easy to be discovered.
And large modern machinery cannot be driven in at all, and even electric welding and cutting will be very difficult.
Not to mention that the surroundings are filled with gases emitted by mercury.
Only an alien like me can breathe without using a mouth and is not afraid of such poisonous gas.
"Burn it with fire and let the little bird spit out the red bird fire, and it will soon melt this diamond wall."
Grandpa said.
Hearing his grandfather's voice, he was very excited.
Although he had obviously become a Dapeng, he had been a Taoist priest and a Tufu son all his life, so he still missed fighting upside down in his heart, and especially wanted to find the excitement of fighting down again. .
Especially the feeling of finding a rare treasure, there is simply no way to describe it in words.
Not to mention Grandpa, even me.
I called out the little bird, and when it came out, it was glowing with crimson light.
It was like a huge torch in the dark abyss, lighting up the area dozens of meters around me. chirp The little bird made a crisp sound, and then a dazzling light suddenly appeared on its body, and then a fire dragon spit out directly from its mouth.
As soon as the fire dragon came out, it made a roar that was infinitely amplified.
The fire was roasting on the diamond wall.
The wall made a crackling sound, and then a metallic smell immediately filled the air.
There were even scalding waves of air hitting his nose.
After burning for a while, I found that the copper water was flowing down the wall, with a red light and white smoke, flowing in the direction of the moat.
The terrible high temperature scorched everything in its path until white smoke came out.
Gululu, Gululu Suddenly, a grunting sound came from behind the diamond wall.
The sound is a bit like blowing into the water in the water bottle through a straw, and it is also very similar to the sound made when the water in the kettle is boiled.
"Little Que'er, be careful."
I warned aloud: "There may be a mechanism behind this wall."
The words are not finished yet. pop A huge fountain sprayed in the direction of Xiao Que'er and me.
I flew back quickly.
I was very touched by the little bird's move.
It opened its huge wings and blocked me behind.
My eyes widened, and my heart jumped into my throat.
I wanted to shout to the little bird to get out of the way, but I couldn't shout, and it was too late.
I saw a gush of momentum, like a reservoir flooding, spraying towards the little bird.
But when the liquid was about to pour on Xiao Que'er's body, Xiao Que'er's body suddenly erupted into blazing Suzaku flames.
The flames were like dragons and tigers, with a momentum visible to the naked eye, engulfing all the incoming liquids, protecting the little bird's body, ensuring that the liquids were volatilized into gas before they touched the little bird's body, and moved towards Go back the way you came.
"Mercury, it's mercury."
I flew into the air, and the little bird also flew into the air.
We lowered our heads and looked at the middle of the diamond wall.
A big hole was made in the middle wall by the fire, and then mercury spewed out from the hole like a flood.
The white mercury was very spectacular, like molten iron, and it made a crackling sound when it hit the ground.
The mercury flowed in the direction of the moat.
After a while, the water level of the entire moat rose a lot.
But after it rose, the liquid level slowly dropped again after a while.
"What is going on?"
I looked dumbfounded at the moat that was rising and falling.
"This is the self-draining function of the moat, which means that the mercury level in the moat will never reach both sides of the moat."

Grandpa explained.
I nodded, I can understand this, because many tombs, especially large tombs, will pay attention to the drainage system.
Otherwise, when it rains, groundwater will seep into the tomb chamber, and the entire tomb chamber will be soaked with water.
The owner of the tomb is obviously unwilling The place where he lived after his death was flooded.
Therefore, for large tombs, drainage systems are necessary, especially for mausoleums of this level like Qin Shihuang’s imperial mausoleum, the drainage system is even more advanced.
As I see now, even in more than two thousand Years later, this drainage system is still usable, and it is very timely and easy to use.
I looked up at the middle of the diamond wall, looking at the mercury spurting out with confusion, and asked in confusion: "This is wrong, the mercury has been spraying out for a while.
Logically speaking, no matter how much mercury there is, The water potential should also weaken a little, but you see, the water potential has no tendency to weaken at all.
Is there so much mercury in it?"
"It is said that there are rivers, lakes and seas made of mercury in the Qin Mausoleum, which formed a map of the Qin Dynasty after it unified the six kingdoms.
Therefore, it can be seen that there is quite a lot of mercury.
It may not be tens of thousands of tons, but it should be several thousand tons.
Yes, even after more than two thousand years of evaporation, there are still at least several hundred tons.
What we see in front of us is only a few dozen tons.
Wait a minute, it should be very large.
It will drain out soon."
Grandpa explained, his tone was not urgent, but he was very excited.
Okay, then just wait, all we can do is wait.
We all stared intently at the spitting mercury Ten minutes have passed, and the intensity of its spitting is still so strong.
Twenty minutes passed, and the amount of spitting increased instead of decreasing.
Half an hour passed and there was no sign of abating.
Now not only me, but also my grandfather was confused.
He said: "This, how is it possible that since there are hundreds of thousands of tons, it has been drained out in such a long time, why is there still so much mercury?"
"That's not right, Grandpa."
I suddenly realized something was wrong, but I couldn't figure it out for a while.
"What's wrong, Xiaofan, what did you find?"
Grandpa asked.
I looked up at the gravel floating above our heads, and said, "Grandpa, you see, these gravels are suspended in the sky, and there is a strong buoyancy force under the ground to lift up these things on the ground.
It's like I'm suspended right now, but look at the mercury, it's all flowing downwards, with no signs of floating upwards at all."
"Yeah, why didn't I notice this?"
Grandpa exclaimed.
"Could it be that the mercury is too heavy to float?"
I remember hearing this when I was in junior high school.
"That's not the case.
No matter how heavy the mercury is, can it sink through those huge rocks?"
Grandpa shook his head and said.
"No."
I took a deep breath and seemed to understand, and said, "This moat is not a drainage system at all."
"What?"
Not only grandpa, but also Yuelan exclaimed: "Then what is this?"
"It's a circulatory system.
Use this system to prevent theft."
I told them what I was thinking.
I said: "Originally, when this wall was not destroyed, the entire system was balanced, which meant that the mercury could not be flushed out.
But After we burned a hole, the mercury flowed out.

After flowing out, it entered the moat, then entered the inside through the moat, and then flowed out through the hole again, and the cycle repeats."
"It's really like this."
Grandpa said in surprise: "If it is a cycle, then huge pressure must be used, because the terrain of the moat is much lower than the diamond wall."
"Of course there is pressure, and it is very large.
With the middle of the diamond wall as the dividing line, going down is downward pressure, and going up is upward pressure.
The upward pressure is buoyancy.
The buoyancy that holds these steps up, The downward pressure is the pressure that presses the mercury into the moat, and it is this pressure that promotes the never-stop operation of the entire system.
"I took a deep breath, and after I finished explaining, I became restless.
The design of the Qin Mausoleum is truly amazing:
