Chapter 5: The tomb door mechanism, almost killed! (Ch 5)

The tall and thin man nodded: “Well, that’s…”
Before the tall and thin man finished speaking, Zhang Xuan’s voice rang out again: “Those are bone-eating ant eggs!”
All four of them showed surprise.
Zhou Cheng looked at Zhou Zeyi: “Uncle San, what are bone-eating ants?”
Zhou Zeyi’s eyes flashed with confusion: “It should be some kind of ant. I have never seen it before.”
Zhou Cheng: “………”
“Brother Xuan, what is that?”
Zhang Xuan: “It is a kind of ant with similar habits to corpse beetles. It often appears near ancient tombs and likes to eat rotten meat!”
“If you run into an ant colony, the four of you would probably be reduced to bones in half an hour.”
The four people’s faces changed drastically and they couldn’t help but look around.
Zhang Xuan said, “Don’t look for them anymore. The bone-eating ants are very powerful. If they were nearby, they would have come out long ago!”
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Zhang Xuan continued, “Its eggs have a special structure like a diamond cut surface, which can parallel reflect light from any angle, so you can’t see the inside of the eggs at all, you can only see particles like ice crystals!”
The four of them looked shocked again.
Zhou Ze looked up at the huge human face and said, “What a strange bug.”
“But I still don’t understand.”
“Why do these eggs form the shape of a human face?”
“Could this be related to the mechanism for opening the tomb door?”
Tai Li’s eyes suddenly lit up: “This tomb door is ridiculously large, and it’s located between the Warring States Tomb and the Zhou Emperor’s Tomb!”
“This tomb door obviously took a lot of thought.”
“It is really possible to use human faces as a mechanism!”
The tall and thin man also said, “I think so too.”
Zhou Zeyi took a deep breath and felt slightly encouraged. He crossed his arms and rubbed his chin: “But where is the secret of this mechanism…”
Silence.
Zhang Xuan’s laughter rang out.
Zhou Zeyi came back to his senses with some surprise.
But Zhang Xuan laughed and said, “A wild imagination must be based on reasonable logic.”
Zhou Ze frowned for a moment, and then listened to Zhang Xuan continue: “Compared to the possibility that the insect eggs are a mechanism.”
“Hasn’t it ever occurred to you that it’s not logical for an egg to be laid on a smooth stone?”
“Bugs don’t eat rocks, so what nutrients do their eggs rely on for development?”
Zhou Zeyi was a little surprised: “I don’t know about this.”
Zhang Xuan laughed: “So, don’t let your imagination run wild.”
“xxxxxx”
“Go, come closer, I’ll take a closer look.”
Zhou Cheng held up his cell phone and approached the stone gate, with the camera moving slowly across the stone gate.
Not long after, Zhang Xuan’s voice came from the phone: “Do you have a knife?”
Zhou Cheng was stunned: “Knife?”
Terry, who was standing by, pulled out a dagger from his waist and handed it to Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng hurriedly said: “Yes!”
Zhang Xuan: “Okay!”
“Scrape the tomb door with the blade!”
Although Zhou Cheng was confused, he still followed Zhang Xuan’s instructions and hung up.
However, the tomb door did not seem as strong as imagined, and a layer of powder was scraped off without much effort.
“Try it.”
Zhang Xuan’s voice sounded again.
Zhou Cheng: “Ah?”
Zhang Xuan: “Let me give you a taste of what you scraped off.”
Zhou Cheng’s eyes widened: “Isn’t it poisonous?”
Zhang Xuan’s speechless voice sounded: “If it was poisonous, the eggs would have been poisoned to death long ago.”
“If you don’t dare, let the brother next to you try.”
“I think he’s quite fierce.”
Terry: “……….”
“Thank you.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his index finger, picked up a little, and licked it on the tip of his tongue.
Several people were very nervous.
After all, it is an underground tomb, and there may be mechanisms inside.
Who can guarantee 100% whether it is poisonous or not?
Terry suddenly smacked his lips, his frown relaxed, and he showed a surprised expression: “Hey, it’s quite sweet!”
The three of them looked surprised.
“sweet?”
Tai Li nodded: “Third Master, if you don’t believe me, try it.”
Zhou Zeyi turned his head quickly.
But then Zhang Xuan’s voice sounded again.
“Okay, I got it.”
“The real tomb door is still underneath, and the surface is coated with a thick layer of a mixture of sugar charcoal and white phosphorus!”
“White sugar is a nutrient that can provide nutrients for the growth of insect eggs.”
After hearing Zhang Xuan’s words, they were even more shocked.
After a long while, Zhou Zeyi still looked puzzled and asked, “What are they doing with this thing?”
Zhang Xuan: “It’s for anti-theft.”
Zhou Zeyi: “Anti-theft?”
Zhou Chengcheng seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said in a lost voice: “I know!”
“This mixture is explosives. Once we detonate the detonator just now, the entire stone gate will become a huge bomb.”
Several people’s faces changed drastically when they heard this!
The tall and thin man was especially frightened and broke out in a cold sweat!
“Damn it, what a shady trick!”
“I almost got defeated here again!”
Zhou Zeyi was also shocked: “I really learned a lot today!”
“If it wasn’t for Brother Zhang’s reminder, I would have died here just now.”
Zhang Xuan nodded and introduced slowly: “Although you have more experience than your nephew, your cultural level is still a little behind.”
“So the level can only be like this.”
“Since we’re talking about this, let me also tell you the real purpose of this white phosphorus ash mixed with white sugar coating!”
As soon as these words came out.
Not only Zhou Zeyi and the other two, but also the more than 100,000 viewers in the live broadcast room pricked up their ears.
“The host is really awesome. He made the tomb robbers stunned. By the way, this can also be considered as protecting the national treasure, right?”
“The anchor is a real hero. If it weren’t for the anchor’s dissuasion, the tomb robbers would have already blown up the ancient tomb!”
“Is what Brother Xuan said true or false? The ancients’ mechanical technology was so advanced?”
“Is this the earliest explosive? Does it mean that the time of the discovery of explosives can be pushed back even further?”
“………………….”

Duty room.
Lin Yue was shocked!
“He knows the mechanism and history, and he even made a model of the stone door structure of the ancient tomb himself.”
“How come this guy knows more than the archaeologists?”
Fang Youcai smiled and said, “What else do you think?”
“Young people are still too impulsive.”
“Is that right, Director Chen?”
Director Chen: “Ahem!”
“It seems that we should not rush this matter. Let’s follow Captain Fang’s plan and wait until the live broadcast is over before looking for an opportunity to contact him.”
Fang Youcai: “Yes, Director Chen!”
He grinned and glanced at the time: “Oh, it’s already half past twelve.”
“Director Chen, please go back and have a rest.”
“Don’t bother with my bunch of young people.”
“Your health is important!”
“The bureau is counting on you to take charge of the situation.”
Xiao Lu hurriedly stood up to see Director Chen off, as if he had wanted this leader to go back for a long time.
Lin Yue blew her bangs and muttered, “Flatterer.”
But Director Chen waved his hand and said, “Since we are here, there is no need to rush.”
Then he pulled out a chair and sat down, folding his arms and staring at the screen, saying: “This young man is so surprising, I want to see what he is thinking…”
Several people also looked at the screen.

Inside the ancient tomb.
Three experienced tomb robbers and a novice just listened to Zhang Xuan’s explanation.
Zhou Zeyi came back to his senses and said in shock, “So even without explosives, just hitting the tomb door with tools would cause it to burn violently?”
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a thief-proof method where both parties perish together!”
Zhang Xuan was surprised and asked, “First time seeing you?”
“Could it be that Uncle San has never fallen into the trap of the Jin and Song dynasties?”
Seeing Zhou Cheng and the other two were staring at him, Zhou Zeyi felt a little uncomfortable.
“Ahem, there has never been a chance.”
Zhang Xuan said, “Oh!” “No wonder he said such ignorant words.”
“The Skyfire Glazed Roof from the Jin and Song Dynasties is truly insane!”
Zhou Zeyi suddenly took a deep breath: “Skyfire Glazed Top…”
“What is that?”
