After more than 100 years of development, Goldbach's magic lock has also been popularized to the extremely common Cheng dù, almost to the point where every magician has a hand, so it is not too surprising that this time the entrance exam will crack the Goldbach magic lock as the content of the exam.

Sim clapped his hands, and behind him, many small balls with plates in their hands, their eyes glowing and rolled in front of the apprentices.

Al looked at this qiē in amazement.

"This is the Ansai Golem, the crystallization of machinery and magic, haven't you seen it?" the black-haired boy next to him seemed to see Al's surprise and explained on the side.

Al took the object in the tray held by the Golem of Ansai in his hand, and then whispered, "Didn't I tell you that I was just from a small village?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. ”

"Is this Goldbach's magic lock?" Al picked up the object in his hand and shook it at the black-haired boy.

"Of course, but haven't you even seen this?" the brunette boy was a little surprised.

Al didn't answer him any more, he looked down and began to study the magic lock in his hand.

This so-called Goldbach magic lock is quite heavy in the hand, it is pitch black all over, the whole is a multi-faceted cube, you can see the extremely thin black strips on it, this is obviously the gap between the components.

Although he hadn't really touched it before, Al had already heard of the most famous toy in the wizarding world.

After Al turned the magic lock through and studied it over and over again, he quickly found three obvious points of activity.

"Don't move them yet!" suddenly came a stopping voice from the side.

Al looked at the dark-haired boy quizzically.

"This magic lock can't be broken at will, although there are a few activity points to start at the beginning, but once one step goes wrong, it will get bigger and bigger, and in the end, when there are only a few components left, it becomes a deadlock that cannot be unlocked at all. The brunette boy said.

"I know that. ”

"So you've found a way to crack it?"

"Nope. ”

The muscles on the black-haired boy's face became a little stiff.

"Alright, now that all the students have gotten Goldbach's magic locks, the quiz can begin. Sim raised his left hand and glanced at the scale of the clock on his watch and continued: "You have two hours of time, and only those who can crack Goldbach's magic lock in this time can be regarded as the first assessment, and those who do not have a good pass don't worry, we are ready for you to retreat." ”

This seemingly comforting sentence is the most lethal, and many of the apprentices' faces immediately changed when they heard this, and they immediately began to bury their heads in the Goldbach magic lock in their hands.

"Siri, start scanning this artifact and calculate the optimal split step. ”

Suddenly there was a voice from the side.

The voice was small and soft, obviously not to outsiders, and if it weren't for El's hearing far exceeding that of ordinary humans, it would have been impossible to hear what he was saying at all.

Al saw the black-haired boy's eyes staring at the magic lock in front of him, and his expressionless face looked a little dull.

Was he talking to himself or was he talking to the magic lock?

This person is really weird.

After entering the Ceylon Academy, Al, who has been treated like this by others, finally has the opportunity to complain about others.

Ignoring the dark-haired boy who was in a strange daze next to him, Al focused on the magic lock in his hand.

How do you go about it?

Al who wanted to try it directly was stopped by the black-haired boy, but now he is a little hesitant, if this kind of thing is slightly wrong, it will become a deadlock that cannot be unlocked?

Which of these three activity points should you choose?

While El was troubled, the others had already begun to crack the magic lock in their hands, and unlike El, they quickly disassembled the first and second components, and some of them even advanced to the fifth and sixth components.

In fact, the first few components of the magic lock should be the easiest to crack, because there is actually a formula in it, as long as anyone who knows a little about Goldbach's magic lock can use the formula to quickly crack it.

The most difficult part of the magic lock is generally from the tenth component, and the tenth component is generally the most complex part of the magic lock, from here on, as long as the last step is wrong, all the subsequent steps are useless, and the error will get bigger and bigger until it is found, and there is no way to restore it completely.

This is also one of the most attractive aspects of the magic lock, because there are millions of variations, and as long as a certain change becomes a deadlock after the last mistake, then it can only be reset and reset, and all the reset operations of the magic lock are random.

This means that if you fail to crack the magic lock this time, you will most likely never encounter the same change in the future, which means that you will never have the opportunity to crack the magic lock in that way constructed.

Many fans of magic locks are full of praise for this feature of magic locks, and they believe that there is a deep philosophical truth in them:

One cannot step into the same river twice in one's life.

This principle can also be used to describe life, every choice in life is like breaking a Goldbach magic lock, no matter whether you succeed or fail, once you make a choice, all the qiē has been determined.

You think you've learned from your failures, but the reality is that you don't have the opportunity to make the same choice again, and that thing or person has long since passed away because of your bad decision, and you have lost that choice forever.

Of course, no one would have thought that far ahead for the apprentices who were currently taking the exam, and their attention was focused on cracking the magic lock in their hands.

Still not having a clue, but running dry was not an option, Al chose the most promising component and dismantled it.

Everything was difficult at first, and with the first gap, the complete magic lock seemed to be flawless, and Al quickly found a second building block that could be cracked.

The third piece.

Fourth.

The fifth piece.

Sixth

It's overwhelming.

Al was pleased with the progress, and he slowly basked with a faint sense of accomplishment.

This is one of the reasons why magic locks are so appealing.

Whenever you use your wits to skillfully disassemble the next piece from a complete magic lock, it is a very interesting and successful thing.

The progress is very smooth, it can be described as incredible, if this situation continues, it will be able to solve it soon.

But Al's progress slowed down suddenly.

No, it should be said that it is completely at a standstill.

Because Al suddenly noticed that the magic lock in his hand was all bitten together, although it seemed that its structure was incomplete and full of many gaps, but there was no way to remove even one of these components.

Is this called a deadlock?
