The crux of the matter was whether the ancients had truly understood the principle of shape induction of the electric matrix. If this could be established as fact, then in terms of utilizing the principle of the electric matrix, Huaxia would have surpassed Europe by 1500 years. Such a concept was almost unbelievable.

“Luo Feng, is the shape induction real? That’s too unbelievable, isn’t it?” asked Li Shishi, who had been too nervous to watch the livestream. Now, she listened attentively as her husband recounted some of the details, both awestruck and fearful.

“I don’t know for sure,” Luo Feng nodded, “But many netizens who understand physics say that if the ancients could achieve shape induction, the principle of the electric matrix would be the only possible explanation! Any other possibilities would require high-tech electronic equipment, something the ancients clearly could not have had.”

“Little Luo, do you know how those crossbow arrows hidden in the wall were launched?” Gu Santong asked, his curiosity piqued.

“As a matter of fact, I brought out one of the crossbow arrows!” replied Luo Feng, “Master Gu, you can take a look.”

“I can’t discern anything unusual,” said Gu Santong after a moment’s examination.

Luo Feng pointed at the tail of the arrow and said, “Look here.”

“Is this a mark from where it fell and scraped the ground?” Gu Santong did not comprehend Luo Feng’s point.

“Master Gu, don’t you think the power of the crossbow arrow is somewhat small?” asked Luo Feng.

“It does seem so,” Gu Santong reflected, “Could it be due to… The passage of time?”

“No, no, no, a real crossbow arrow would undoubtedly have a great deal of power,” Luo Feng began, “If these were real crossbow arrows, their force would be so immense, the arrows would have lodged themselves into the walls!” “Could the arrows have bounced off the walls?” Li Shishi interjected.

“That’s possible, but since none of them penetrated the wall, it only proves that these arrows had limited power,” Luo Feng reasoned as he recalled, “I don’t think there were any crossbow mechanisms inside those walls at all.”

“So, what launched them?” Gu Santong asked.

“I believe it was stones!”

“Stones?”

“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded, “You all should know about the blowgun, an invention of primitive man, made using hollow bamboo. Blow with some force, and the dart is launched, albeit with limited power. I think the walls housed something akin to arrow nests. Arrows were pre-loaded into these nests, and a hammering mechanism was used to generate force and create pressure. Imagine a large suspended stone right above a hammer handle. The stone falls, strikes the handle, and the arrows are blown out!”

Of course, these were all speculations from Luo Feng. It just did not seem like there were any actual crossbow arrows, the disparity in power was too great.

“Holy smokes! If you weren’t a modern man, I would believe you designed these mechanisms yourself!”

“You’re amazing!”

Having rested enough, Luo Feng decided to check another tomb passage. When he arrived at the entrance of the tomb passage, a significantly smaller tunnel greeted his eyes. The two passages were not identical, which Luo Feng counted as a significant discovery.

“How’s the lower passage?” Gu Santong asked as Luo Feng returned to the surface.

“There are no murals, and the passage is very narrow. It’s likely a decoy!” Luo Feng concluded. Such a structure hardly seemed fitting for Cao Cao. Perhaps the first passage he walked down was the one truly leading to the main burial chamber. After all, he had already covered more than 100 meters, and he should be able to complete the remaining few tens of meters. Whether it was Cao Cao’s main burial chamber or not, everything would soon be revealed..
