Chen Changqing turned off the TV and signaled Qi Bai to hand over the alloy to me, but Qi Bai really hesitated for a while before handing it over to me. I put the alloy on the ground, Chen Changqing and Qi Bai backed away, naturally they wouldn't retreat very far, but they only retreated a few steps, the thick fog covered them and they couldn't be seen. I began to concentrate, and the alloy quickly emitted light. The light shot out from every small plane, intertwined into one piece, and when the light became more and more intense, it shot out, forming an extremely large shape in the dense fog. Spectacular colors.

But it was just a large group of flowing colors, it looked really magnificent, Qi Bai and Chen Changqing kept admiring.That was what Bao Shifang had seen. Spectacular is spectacular enough, but it means nothing at all, a mass of shining, flowing colors, what does that represent?means nothing. After half an hour, I took a breath: "I see, there is still no result." Qi Bai's face looked very pale in the milky white mist, he nodded slowly: "Okay, put it down, there are seven grooves below, which one should you put in?" I said: "You don't have to think about it. It seems that it can only be directly facing the small hole, so you can take it up. Get your tools quickly."

Qi Bai didn't say anything, turned around and walked away. After a while, he came back with a leather case. The leather case looked like it was used to hold golf clubs.He opened the zipper and took out a metal cylinder about ten centimeters in diameter. This is of course the tool for "Exploring the Li and Getting the Pearl". He first pulled out a thin rod from the cylinder, about one meter long. At one end of the rod, there was a claw-shaped object. Put the alloy on the "claw" and pinch it with your hand to make the "claw" grasp it tightly. Then, he ordered Chen Changqing to move the electric wire that had gone down the hole to the side as far as possible, and stretch the thing downward.I quickly turned on the TV to watch the situation when the thing was put down.

Chen Changqing took out another instrument, connected it to the wire that went down the hole, and made a face at me: "There is a light-emitting device on the TV camera tube, which can illuminate the bottom." I was taken aback for a moment: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Chen Changqing said: "If I had told you earlier, you wouldn't have used your brain power to light up the bottom." Qi Bai was operating nervously, pulling out the slender pole from the cylinder, and the pole was inserted into another, it looked like a retractable fishing rod. Not long after, I could see on the screen that the thing was not very far from the table. As I expected, one of the seven grooves was in line with the small hole opened on the top of the tomb.

Qi Bai's expression became more tense. At this time, the fog was thicker, rolling around us, our bodies were all wet because of the thick fog, but because it was a very tense moment, so We don't pay attention to these. When the piece of alloy was about to touch the table, Qi Bai suddenly let out an exclamation of "ah". I saw on the screen that the piece of alloy seemed to be due to a kind of suction from the groove, suddenly The "claw" that broke away from the tip of the rod fell downwards, and fit into the groove like a seam. Only one side faced upwards, and the upward side had four triangular planes.

Qi Bai was a little panicked: "Before I let go of the lever, I sucked it down with strength." I pointed to the fluorescent screen and said, "Look, it's right in that groove." Qi Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "If the suction is so strong, then...then I can't get it up again." Chen Changqing sighed: "Qi Bai, why don't you understand, that thing is useless without the device below." Qi Bai did not make a sound, and quickly retracted the thin rod that had been protruded into the hole. I took a deep breath, and I was already concentrating on my thoughts: "What role can it play in the original position, hurry up!" Play it."

This time, I was concentrating on my thoughts while staring at the screen, and since I had to focus on what was going to happen below at the same time, it didn't conflict with what I was thinking, so I could concentrate on it. Qi Bai and Chen Changqing were also watching the fluorescent screen. At the same time, Chen Changqing controlled the rotation of the TV camera tube. After a while, he discovered that the three triangular facets exposed outside the groove emitted light together. The gray-white side without the shelf shot at the wall with a rectangular frame. Chen Changqing hurriedly turned the camera tube and pointed it at the wall. Suddenly, the three of us were stunned.

Once those three beams of light hit the off-white rectangular frame, they formed an image, which turned out to be a human portrait! But because I was taken aback suddenly, I couldn't concentrate so much, the three rays of light quickly dimmed, and the portrait disappeared in a flash.Chen Changqing shouted: "God, concentrate quickly, concentrate quickly, there is a person, there is a person on it." For a moment, I was flustered, I couldn't concentrate, and the light never reappeared. Chen Changqing said: "You, it's better to use the method last time, and let you watch the video afterwards."

I hurriedly said, "No, no, I won't be able to concentrate even more then." As I said, I took a long breath, but I couldn't help but think: there is a person!I tried my best to restrain myself, and finally, gradually, my mind calmed down, I could concentrate, and my breathing became slow and slender. On the three small planes, light appeared again, and the light gradually strengthened, shooting again. To that off-white frame. Just now, because I suddenly saw the human form, I was terrified and panicked for no reason, so I couldn't concentrate all of a sudden, but this time, I was prepared, so the human form reappeared, and I was still able to control myself and concentrate myself.

As soon as the human figure appeared, it was very faint and indistinct, Qi Bai said in a deep voice, "Turn off the light emitting device." Chen Changqing agreed, and the tomb darkened, and the three beams of light seemed to be more intense, shooting towards the wall. At that moment, the beam of light from the projector happened to shoot towards the screen. And on the wall, the human figure gradually became clearer, and a golden color appeared. Five minutes later, the human figure was clearly visible. Except for the body, they are all wrapped in that kind of golden clothes, even the hands are no exception. The texture of the clothes can't be seen. There seem to be many accessories on the clothes, but they can't be said to be anything.Qi Bai's voice seemed to be moaning: "God, that... this is the Twelve Golden Men, one of the Twelve Golden Men"

Chen Changqing panted quickly: "The Twelve Golden Man...isn't he very huge, this man..." Qi Bai said: "There is no one around him to compare with. How do you know that he is not as huge as the records?" I was really stunned at that time, but what happened next shocked me even more. I tried my best not to relax my mind, that golden person appeared just as a portrait, but when I concentrated further, he actually started to move, like a slide show that suddenly turned into a movie. No, it cannot be said that a slide has become a movie. If it is a movie, the person's activities are flat and restricted to the wall, but as soon as the person starts to move, he walks off the wall!Really, it was clearly visible on the screen, he walked down from the wall, he was a living person, he was not very big just after he stepped down, but he was growing rapidly. At this moment, the TV screen suddenly went dark, and then, in the small hole, a strong light shot up into the sky. That strong light was dazzling golden, so suddenly, the three of us retreated together, not knowing what happened.At this moment, I don't even care about concentrating. Although I was extremely flustered, the golden light still soared into the sky, and, in less than a tenth of a second, the golden light spread, and in the thick fog, we saw an extremely huge giant, the same as the firefly just now. The person seen on the light screen is exactly the same, but it has been magnified by an unknown amount. It is extremely huge, at least ten meters high. It looks like it is standing in front of us, but it also has a sense of emptiness, which is not real. The presence. In an instant, although the three of us were well-informed, we were all stunned, and really didn't know how to deal with it! That giant, it seems real, not real, not real, and he is so tall, when I look up at him, he is so real, for a moment, I really doubt that I am real In life, or in dreams. I don't know how long my stupefaction lasted, and then, I suddenly remembered a term that I seldom think of on weekdays: stereoscopic projection. The giant that appeared in the thick fog must have been caused by a stereoscopic projection. The situation is similar to that of a movie projected on a screen, except that the scene on the screen is flat, but now it is three-dimensional. Thinking of this, I calmed down a lot, and it wasn't until then that I realized that Qi Bai and Chen Changqing, one on each side, were tightly squeezed beside me.Neither of them were timid, but the sight in front of them was so shocking, no wonder they were like frightened children. I said in a deep voice, "Don't be nervous, this is a phenomenon of stereoscopic projection." Chen Changqing tremblingly said: "This giant...is just a shadow?" Qi Bai's tone was not much better: "No...it's just a shadow." Just as we were speaking these few words, the giant suddenly lowered his head and looked at us. Although I'm sure it's just a "stereoscopic projection" phenomenon, but when the giant moves, he looks so real, as if he is actually lifting up the huge, dressed man in front of us. The feet of the glittering shoes can trample us to death in one fell swoop! The giant looked down at us, and began to speak in a voice that sounded very strange. (God, not only can he move, but he can also talk.) (Naturally, if you want to go deeper, the phenomenon of speaking can also be explained. Planar projection can be synchronized with sound. Why can't stereoscopic projection?) (However, the shock we felt at the time went one step further.) The giant's voice was not very loud, and it sounded like a stuffy feeling, and he said in that strange tone: "How about it, Your Majesty, is it not good enough? I guarantee that you will be within 10,000 years. There may be a greater construction than this, to house your dead body, enough is enough, you—" His words, speaking here, suddenly stopped. Then, we clearly saw that a very strange expression appeared on his huge face. His brow bone was originally very high. Eyes, very sunken. Before we could digest what the giant said just now, we saw him show that strange look.Immediately afterwards, he looked around again, and suddenly made a sound that also sounded very strange, but it was estimated that there was no malicious sound, and the intuition of people was that it was laughter.Then, he said again: "I'm really confused, of course, many years have passed, who are you?" When he asked this question, he looked down at us directly.The three of me, Qi Bai and Chen Changqing asked in unison: "Who... are you?" The giant laughed again: "I am your emperor's friend, you—" He looked at us with a very hesitant expression.Although his size is so huge that he truly intimidates people like a "god", but at this time, I also completely calmed down, and I took a breath: "The emperor you mentioned has long since died. , from the year of his death, in terms of time on earth, it is 2198 years." I'm also a little surprised myself, why I can speak so fluently. The giant immediately let out his weird laugh again: "He died? Didn't he live forever? What about his descendants? Are they still emperors for the first generation, the second generation, the third generation, the fourth generation, or even hundreds of generations?" When the giant asked this question, everyone knew who he was asking. I held my head up and answered, "No, the two lives are over." The giant continued to "laugh" and shook his head: "It seems that none of his wishes can be realized. Oh, no, at least one can be realized. His body after death is hidden in the one we built for him... place, never to be found again." My heart was in chaos, the giant said so, then, the underground tomb of the first emperor was actually built by the giant and his companions?The giant frowned, as if he was thinking about something, but after a very short time, he smiled again: "I understand, I understand everything, really, I haven't noticed it all the time, here with you, two thousand one hundred and ninety In eight years, countless things can happen.” Qi Bai and Chen Changqing didn't know how to speak at all, they just kept nodding their heads. Since they and I were both looking up at the giant, the way of nodding while raising our heads was very weird and ridiculous. At this time, I was completely sure that this giant had no malice, and there was no doubt that he was an alien who had been to the earth. After he and his companions—I believe there were twelve people in total ("Twelve Golden Men") "Records), not only had dealings with people on Earth, but also became Qin Shihuang's friend. (Son of Heaven, isn’t it normal to communicate with gods?) Moreover, they also built an unbelievably magnificent underground mausoleum for Qin Shihuang. I don’t know the details of how this giant alien appeared in front of us today, but the general situation can be imagined. It is naturally the function of the alloy and the device in the tomb below. However, I still firmly believe that what is in front of us today is not the real him, but just a phenomenon of stereoscopic projection-if the science on earth develops to the stage of stereoscopic movies, then we can see hundreds of thousands of people like today. It is the same as the planar activities of people who are miles away, seeing people who are hundreds of thousands of miles away appearing in front of our eyes. In order to confirm this, I suddenly said: "I would like to believe that your original form is really so huge, but now that you appear in front of our eyes, I believe it is just a projection phenomenon, can it be reduced to the same size as ours, convenient conversation?" The giant smiled again: "Interesting, your knowledge has improved a lot, of course you can." Before he could say those words, the huge, golden giant shrank suddenly, becoming half shorter than us normal people, and then expanded to the same extent as us. At this time, he was in front of us, as tall as us, and the three of us couldn't help but stretched out our hands together, trying to touch him, but of course we couldn't touch anything, because he was only formed by relying on dense fog. A stereoscopic projection phenomenon. After he became the same size as us, he said again: "If we meet your supreme leader now and ask him to make a request to us, of course it will not be asking us to build a place for him so that he can put his body in place after he dies." It's ridiculous to go in, after death, he has to find a place of his dreams to put the body in." I took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Maybe it will be the same. For more than two thousand years, the way of thinking of human beings on the earth has not improved much, and power is just as corrupting. Change, human nature remains the same.” The giant (he is no longer huge, but it is better to call him that) grunted: "It is not easy to change the biological instinct, very difficult, close to impossible." It wasn't until this moment that Chen Changqing shouted: "God! Don't discuss this kind of issue, what's going on?" The giant's expression was quite gentle: "It's actually very simple. We passed by the planet you live in. Of course, we passed by in a very far away place. Inadvertently, through the instrument, we saw a building with similar instructions to land, so we decided to land here. take a look." The three of us looked at each other, and we couldn't help but groaned in our hearts: The Great Wall! The giant then laughed a few more times. His laughter and tone of voice were palpable and relaxed, which really made me break out in a cold sweat with shame.He said: "We thought that we could deal with a very high-level creature. Who knew that after landing, it was not the same thing at all. The building that looked like an indicator was originally built to kill each other. Unthinkable." Chen Changqing and Qi Bai were tongue-tied, and I wanted to explain a few words for the earthlings in a hurry, saying that it was built to prevent the invasion of barbarians from the north, and the invasion of barbarians would kill civilized people.But I opened my mouth wide, but didn't say it, because I immediately thought: Is it just barbarians who kill civilized people?Aren't civilized people killing savages the same way?Even civilized people and civilized people are not killing each other? It is too difficult to justify the cannibalism of the people on earth. At least, I can't say a word of defense before such a topic.People on earth can kill each other for thousands of reasons, for food, for women, for power, for religion, for doctrine...the reasons are big or small, and the scale of the killing is big or small. Since the beginning of recorded human history, it has never stopped! So, don't laugh at Qi Bai and Chen Changqing, I opened my mouth to say something but couldn't say a word, it's the same gaping tongue! The giant didn't pay attention to our reaction, and continued: "We haven't stayed on the earth for a long time, but we are also quite excited about the phenomenon of cannibalism among the creatures on the earth, so we did some research and found that There are several kinds of creatures with a cannibalistic nature, one is a man, and the other is a much smaller creature than a man, which you call ants—” When he said this, the three of us groaned together. In the eyes of this alien, humans and ants are actually the same!In his mind, they are just "creatures on the earth"! I tried my best to clear my throat: "Humans and ants are a little... different!" The giant said: "Of course it's different. You have a fairly complete ideological system and will progress. Now, the phenomenon of cannibalism between you must no longer exist?" As soon as I heard him ask such a question, I couldn't help but lower my head, feeling extremely sad in my heart! The giant didn't have any malice at all, and he didn't even mean to be sarcastic. He knew that people have a fairly complete system of thinking, and thought that after more than two thousand years, human cannibalism has long since stopped! But what about the reality?Not only has it not stopped, but it has intensified. Compared with more than two thousand years ago, the pattern has been refurbished. As a human being on earth, he cannot hold his head up in front of giants. The giant couldn't get my answer, so he stayed for a while, and then said: "Ah, I understand, uh, I know..." He seemed to be looking for words to comfort me: "I said that changing the nature of creatures...is very difficult...close to impossible. In fact, your perfect thought system should be able to be improved, maybe you haven't tried hard enough do it." I know that he already knows many things on the earth, and I can only sigh, a long sigh, for his "comfort" and remember all the things that have happened on the earth. Then, I said: "There are many people working hard, but the efforts of many people, the efforts of hundreds of millions of people, are always no match for the destruction of hundreds of people, dozens of people, or even just a few people! " The giant's expression was very serious, and he shook his head vigorously: "No, a few people are no match for tens of thousands of people, and a few people can drive tens of thousands of times more people than them. Because these driven people have their own shortcomings, With an instinct to be driven for all reasons, the minority can rule the majority only through the weakness of the majority itself." I was stunned for a while, unable to give any answer. It seems that they were "interested" and "studied a bit" back then, and they have made a very thorough analysis of the nature of people on earth. He continued to express his opinions on the people on earth: "This kind of weakness, you yourself have a very deep understanding of it, and call it 'slavery'." I made a gesture meaninglessly, trying to stop him, and asked him to Don't say any more.Such a naked analysis of the nature of people on earth, as a person on earth, I really don't want to hear it. But the giant ignored it, and continued: "It doesn't matter if it's just 'slavery', it's just surrendering to a powerful force. But when people are willing to be slaves, they also want to enslave others. The strong means servility, and on the other hand, the weak side, means servility, it's too complicated, earthlings." After he came to an end, the three of us breathed a sigh of relief together, almost begging, and said in unison: "Please... tell me about yourself." The giant smiled understandingly (this made me sweat again): "During our long-term interstellar flight, as I said just now, we accidentally came to the earth due to a misunderstanding, stopped for a while and then left." I said, "It's not that simple." The giant laughed: "Naturally, I have done some things and studied... some earth creatures, as a great leader—in our case, should be the highest representative of wisdom, but the emperor on earth is so stupid that it is unimaginable. He asked for immortality, and asked all people to act according to his will──However, it is true that this person has a brain power stronger than ordinary people──” When he was talking here, he glanced at me, and I hurriedly said: "I will never have such a stupid idea." The giant nodded: "His requests were so stupid that we couldn't imagine them at all. In the end, he asked to find a place for his corpse. Although it was ridiculous, it was better than other requests, so we agreed. and built for him such a building as he asked for that would not be greater in ten thousand years." Qi Bai murmured: "It's exactly the same as I imagined." I asked a crucial question, and I pointed at him, and then pointed at the ground: "You appeared in front of us, and all the equipment below, what's going on?" The giant said: "Oh, down there, it's the whole... This kind of place where the dead are released is called..." I went on: "It's called Mausoleum." The giant said: "Yes, it is the center of the entire mausoleum. The closing and opening of various channels, etc., can all be operated through this console. Naturally, you also understand that the energy activated is the energy of the human brain. At that time, People on Earth don’t know anything about their own brain abilities, and now──” When he said this, he obviously wanted to ask "it must be different now", but he didn't ask, he just stayed for a while, and then he looked apologetic: "I'm sorry." I smiled wryly: "Yes, right now, people on Earth still don't know anything about their own brain power." The giant smiled and said: "Yes, I can't even explain to you the relationship between brain energy and the earth's own magnetic field, the endless magnetic energy contained in it... In short, there is a control room below, but due to ignorance, people at that time did not know how to control it." I know what it is, so I don’t pay much attention to—” He looked at Qi Bai, obviously, he didn't know some method, he could know everything he wanted to know in an instant, when he glanced at Qi Bai: "You made a small hole, it's really not easy .” Qi Bai muttered, not knowing what to say.Chen Changqing said: "Then, where are you now... the real you?" The giant said: "On the interstellar channel, we are still flying, but we suddenly received a signal, so we met you. People on Earth also have this kind of equipment. Naturally, the distance can't be that far, and it's not too far away. Three-dimensional." Qi Bai suddenly said: "You mean, we can meet and talk with you at any time?" The giant shook his head: "No, just once, that was the promise we made before we left. The emperor asked us to stay and not leave, of course it's impossible, he wanted us to stay only because he wanted to use our strength to help him finish We couldn't bear his pleas for those stupid 'Aliens', so we agreed to him, gave him a chance to appear for real, and told him the method of sending signals to us, but he obviously never used it, but in After so many years of Earth time, you stumbled upon this method by accident." The three of us took a deep breath together, and the giant pointed down: "Actually, you can get out the equipment below, which will greatly benefit your knowledge growth." The three of us sighed together again, shook our heads, and remained silent: In the foreseeable future, this is impossible. Qi Bai nervously said: "Then...the strange treasure can only be used...to contact you once?" The giant said: "Yes, after that, the effect disappears, and even the magnetism can no longer exist, but—" he suddenly laughed: "Of course you can get it up and make a...a..." Qi Bai murmured: "The key chain." The giant said: "Key chain? This thing is very strange to us. Keys, um, are used to open locks. Locks are used to protect some things from being stolen or robbed by others. What a strange behavior. So, the keychain, I don't know much about it." I can't help feeling sad, the key chain is such an ordinary object, but it is connected with the thoughts and behaviors of the people on the earth. If the behavior of the people on the earth does not steal or rob, and does not violate others, then of course there will be no locks on the earth. And such things as keys! Chen Changqing hurriedly said: "One time... it doesn't matter, you... can you meet more people?" The giant said: "I'm afraid it won't work, the energy of the receiving device below is almost used up, yes, there are still ten seconds left, what else do you want to know?" Ten seconds, what we want to know, ten days and ten nights can’t finish asking, but the damn ten seconds passed like this, suddenly, the vision went dark, and when the eyesight returned to normal, except for a thick white patch. There was nothing but fog. After a long while, I said: "It should be enough. We made a long-distance phone call with a three-dimensional fax, a real long-distance phone call, with an alien who is on an interstellar voyage." Qi Bai and Chen Changqing nodded in agreement with my description. Qi Bai still got the alloy with all the energy gone, and really set it into a keychain. Droskava called again, but I told her nothing. Bai Su and Wen Baoyu listened to our report, Wen Baoyu yelled that it was a pity, then opened his eyes and asked: "Is that what people on earth are like?" Bai Su sighed, and I spread my hands: "Read the history, look at the present, it's like this." Between Bai Su's eyebrows, there is an unusual depression: "It should be said that most people are like this, and there are a few exceptions. When the ratio of the majority to the minority changes, the people on earth will also change." I murmured and repeated the words of the giant: "It is very, very difficult to change the nature of creatures, close to impossible!" For example, when will the people on Earth not know what locks and keys are?
