Chapter 2292: 3D painting from the 12th century
After a long time, the one after another exclamation in the church gradually subsided, and then everyone woke up.
Immediately afterwards, Father Ramirez asked in surprise:
"Steven, where did Solomon's seal come from in the center of the prayer room? On the circular dome of the prayer room, there are the Virgin Mary, the child Christ, and the flying angels, but there is no Solomon's seal.
If there is a Solomon's seal on the dome, it is impossible for us to fail to see it. Why is the golden light reflected by the bronze candlesticks on the wall forming a Solomon's seal on the ground? "
Not only Father Ramirez, but the rest of the people at the scene were also at a loss, not understanding where this Solomon's seal came from.
Without exception, everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.
Ye Tian looked at Father Ramirez, then glanced at everyone at the scene, then smiled and said:
"The reason is very simple. In the 12th century, when Guardim Pais built this octagonal prayer house, he cleverly combined the principle of light refraction with this ancient building.
You can see that the circular dome and the surface of the upper part of the wall of this prayer house are not as smooth as a mirror like the lower part of the wall and the ground, but rather uneven and uneven.
This is a deliberate result. It is a very ingenious design that is breathtaking. To put it more clearly, Guardim used this method to hide Solomon's seal on the dome.
When the dome and walls of this prayer house are decorated, and the bronze candlesticks high on the wall are lit up, after the candlelight is refracted, Solomon's seal will be projected on the center of the floor.
The dome and walls are decorated with splendor. The Solomon seal projected on the ground is naturally golden. Fortunately, although more than 800 years have passed, it is still well preserved.
When this Byzantine-style church was built, the dome should be like this, magnificent and magnificent. Later monks inherited this tradition, have been protecting it, and are constantly repairing it!
If not, we will not see such a beautiful picture. I think everyone has seen three-dimensional painting. The principle of Guardim’s design is similar to that of three-dimensional painting.
In other words, the magnificent dome above us, in addition to the zenith painting that we can see directly, actually hides a painting, which is the seal of Solomon that everyone sees on the floor.
I also discovered a little clue by chance and coincidence. Then, with an attitude of trying, let Jason and the others light those candles, so I got this huge surprise."
The voice fell, and there was an exclamation immediately on the scene.
"Wow! It's incredible! It's a wonderful workmanship. No matter whether there are treasures or not, this breathtaking genius design alone is enough to make a sensation in the world and is definitely an architectural miracle."
"Guardim Pais deserves to be the wisest Templar, and he really deserves his reputation!"
While they were amazed, everyone gave Ye Tian their thumbs up, with their eyes full of admiration. They admired his incomparable sharp vision and envied his extremely good luck.
Ye Tian accepted all this unceremoniously, and was happy with it.
Then, he raised his hand and pointed towards the prayer room, smiled and said loudly:
"Please, everyone, let's go and admire the magnificent dome of the Prayer House. Let me tell you how to find the traces of Solomon's seal on the dome."
After speaking, he walked into the prayer room first, and the others followed.
About five or six minutes later, everyone only finished admiring the magnificent dome of the prayer house, and then they withdrew their eyes, returning their heads that had been tilted back to their normal positions.
Without exception, everyone at the scene felt a sore neck and yelled non-stop.
Everyone rubbed their necks at the same time. When the pain eased a little, they all looked at the center of the prayer room, which was the area where Solomon’s seal was projected on the floor.
"Everyone, we are going to cut this piece of floor next to see what secrets are hidden underneath, whether it is the treasure of the Knights Templar or something else, it is worth so much effort and cost to hide"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and pointed at the area in the middle of the prayer room.
"Steven, when you cut, you must take protective measures and try not to damage this floor. This prayer house is a miracle in architectural history and cannot be damaged."
The Portuguese Deputy Minister of Culture said, with a painful look.
At this time, the three Portuguese at the scene wanted to stop this exploration operation directly, and the Portuguese themselves took over the exploration, leaving all the treasures discovered in the future in Portugal.
However, each of them knew very well in their hearts that this exploratory operation was already on the line and they had no choice but to stop this exploratory operation from continuing.
All they can do is to supervise the scene and try to help Portugal gain more benefits.
Ye Tian looked at the Portuguese, then smiled and said:
"Don't worry, gentlemen, when cutting this place, I will cut it. The waterjet cutter is still used. I will cut along the gap between the granite floors.
Just like before, when I finish cutting, there will be no damage to these granite floors on the ground. When I look back on the ground, I can’t even see any traces.”
Hearing this, what else can the three Portuguese say? They can only nod their heads.
Next, Ye Tian asked Jason and the others to get the portable waterjet cutting machine.
Soon, the waterjet cutting machine was brought in, and Ye Tian put on gloves and protective glasses immediately, and he was ready to start cutting.
Before he did it, he invited everyone else in the prayer room out, leaving only Jason to assist.
This is for safety reasons, to facilitate the operation, and also for confidentiality.
Waiting for the others to leave the prayer house~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ye Tian immediately squatted down, pretending to seriously study the pieces of granite floor to be cut.
Within a few moments, he has selected a target, and then said to Jason beside him:
"Jason, next I will cut these granite floors with the mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar with a water knife, and cut along the cracks in the floor as before.
According to my speculation, there are probably a few granite slabs under these granite floors, which are used to support the buildings above and the people who come and go, and avoid exposure of the dense roads below.
But there are no traps under these floors. No one can say that it is not good. For the sake of safety, you kid should be smart. If there is danger, you should rush out of the prayer room as soon as possible."
"Understand, Steven, I know what to do"
Jason nodded in response, his face full of excitement.
"Just know, let's start"
said, Ye Tian turned on the switch of the waterjet cutting gun, ready to cut.
In the next instant, a high-speed water stream mixed with diamond abrasives sprayed from the nozzle of the cutting gun, just like cutting tofu, cutting into the gap between the two granite floors without any hindrance.
In less than ten minutes, the granite floor in the center of the prayer room with the mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar was separated by Ye Tian's water knife from the adjacent granite floor.
After cutting, Ye Tian turned off the cutting torch and placed it on the ground next to it.
Following his actions, everyone on the scene lifted their hearts and looked expectantly at the few granite floors that had just been cut.
