Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 117 The Underground Bronze City

"The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor?!"

Hua Feng was so surprised that he slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Yes, this Mr. Han Yun said he wants to visit the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Do you think we should agree?" Old Meng reported.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it!"

Hua Feng paced back and forth.

The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor has always been a key focus of NaDuTong. The reason why the Northwest Regional Headquarters is located in Baqiao District of Chang'an is precisely because it is close to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.

As the first person in Chinese history to call himself emperor, Qin Shi Huang's tomb was naturally built with the participation of extraordinary individuals. The exact layout of the tomb remains a mystery to this day.

Historically, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor has been looted multiple times. Xiang Yu at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Red Eyebrow Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Huang Chao at the end of the Tang Dynasty all carried out looting activities on the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. However, they only damaged the above-ground buildings of the Mausoleum and plundered some of the burial objects, but did not enter the core area of ​​the underground palace.

In the 1990s, after its establishment, Na Du Tong also dispatched a special team of extraordinary individuals to conduct archaeological work on the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, but ultimately returned empty-handed, and the team suffered heavy losses.

The relevant data obtained from their investigation has been kept in the Northwest Region and headquarters.

"Perhaps this is an opportunity!"

After hesitating for a moment, Hua Feng reported the matter and his own thoughts to Zhao Fangxu.

After some consideration, Zhao Fangxu said to Hua Feng over the phone, "Allow Han Yun to enter the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, but it would be best if he brought our people with him."

"We at All Tong must obtain firsthand information about what's inside Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum."

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Hua Feng began selecting candidates to enter Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. However, after much deliberation, Hua Feng ultimately decided to send only Lao Meng.

Firstly, they had to consider Han Yun's personal wishes and avoid giving him the impression that they were intentionally monitoring him; secondly, quality over quantity was the key to success, as with Old Meng's biologist skills, the survival rate would be greatly increased wherever there were living things.

Third, given Han Yun's methods, it should be enough to ensure Lao Meng's safety. More people would only be a burden for Han Yun.

The last point is especially important.

Hua Feng trusted Lao Meng. After all, the temporary workers were just the "private soldiers" of the regional leaders. If Hua Feng could get some benefits, it would be easy to keep it a secret.

Those who are near the water get the moonlight first, and those facing the sun easily welcome spring.

The Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is located within their Northwest Region, where there are many competitors and limited resources. Leaders from other regions will inevitably be eyeing it covetously, and their Northwest Region will reap the biggest benefits.

Hua Feng quickly made the necessary arrangements and dispatched a team of superhumans to remain on the ground as backup.

Lishan.

Qi Muqing handed the equipment to Lao Meng and said, "Uncle Meng, be careful when you go down there!"

Old Meng chuckled: "I thought you'd be crying and making a scene, wanting to come down with me."

Qi Muqing crossed her arms and said, "Uncle Meng, I'm not a child. I know what I should do and what I should do, and I should fulfill my responsibilities. This is something my dad told me on my first day of work."

Then, Qi Muqing saluted Old Meng and said, "Uncle Meng, I'll be waiting for you to come back."

"Don't worry, girl!" Old Meng turned to look at Han Yun and nodded, saying, "Mr. Han, I'm ready. How do we get down?"

Han Yun looked at the solid ground around him and laughed, "Of course, we'll just teleport down!"

As he spoke, Han Yun grabbed Lao Meng, golden clouds emanating from his body, covering both of them at the same time, and then used the Earth Immortal technique.

Hold your breath!

With a soft shout from Han Yun, the two of them disappeared into the ground as if they had vanished into water.

The method of becoming an Earth Immortal was naturally obtained by Han Yun using his third eye to analyze the tomb raider's techniques.

After the two disappeared from the spot, Qi Muqing looked somewhat surprised: "How come they are more skilled at using earth escape than that tomb raider Tu Xingsun?"

At this moment, underground.

After several minutes of escaping, Han Yun, pulling Lao Meng along, finally landed in a space within the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum.

According to records, when Qin Shi Huang first ascended the throne, he began the construction of Mount Li. After unifying the country, more than 700,000 laborers were sent to the site to dig through three springs and cast bronze for the outer coffin. Palaces, temples, officials, and all sorts of rare and precious artifacts were moved there to fill the site.

He ordered craftsmen to make crossbows and arrows that would shoot down anything that approached. He used mercury to represent the rivers, lakes, and seas, with mechanisms to circulate it. The upper part of the container depicted the heavens, and the lower part the earth. He used mermaid oil to make candles that would burn for a very long time without going out.

Old Meng was wearing a gas mask and protective clothing that had been specially treated with talismans and restrictions, and he was following behind Han Yun.

Han Yun wasn't wearing anything, and with his abilities, he could naturally deal with the highly toxic fumes created by the spread of mercury and cinnabar.

Old Meng looked around, turned on his specially made flashlight, and found that they were standing in a deep passageway. The walls on both sides of the passageway were carved with exquisite murals, depicting the might and majesty of the Qin Dynasty army and the luxury of court life.

"Is this the outer perimeter of the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum?" Old Meng asked in a low voice, his voice echoing in the empty passageway.

Han Yun nodded: "This is just the beginning. The underground palace of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum is far more complicated than we imagined."

In the reflection of Han Yun's third eye, the entire structure of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum was fully revealed to him. This was no mausoleum; it was clearly a massive mechanical city made of bronze.

"The Gongshu family!" Han Yun murmured involuntarily.

Mercury, being liquid, forms hydraulic power, flowing continuously through specific channels within the mechanical city, providing the power to operate this massive mechanical city.

As is well known, Mount Li has abundant hot spring resources. The geothermal energy beneath this mechanical city is used to steam mercury, creating a pressure system that, through specific bronze mechanisms, allows this mechanical city, which has existed for over two thousand years, to continue operating.

In addition, it can be found that the methods of the various schools of thought in ancient China were all used in it.

This is not a bronze city at all; it is clearly a creation born from the collective wisdom of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

The two walked along the passageway, the air thick with the smell of evaporating mercury. Old Meng instinctively tightened his gas mask to ensure it was sealed properly.

After walking for no more than ten minutes, the two arrived at a huge square.

Among them stand bronze statues, similar in form to the Terracotta Army, but with many mechanical beasts, like celestial soldiers and generals, riding dragons and tigers, arranged like an army.

Old Meng's flashlight beam swept across the bronze statues, and in the dim light, they seemed as if they might come to life at any moment. At their joints, one could vaguely see intricate gears and hinges.

"Mr. Han, could these statues be mechanical puppets?" Old Meng asked in a low voice.
