Chapter XXVII: The Bronze Door
Although he didn't understand what Ning Meng was talking about, Yi Yi seemed to have guessed that Xixi was the key to the whole thing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In addition to what Ning Meng said, Yi Yi also found that the people sent by the Phoenix Organization this time were very different, compared with the previous people, it can be said that there is nothing outstanding about them, and even their own physical fitness is very poor, but according to the rigorous style of the Phoenix Organization, they will definitely not send a waste to them. There must be something special about her, but this special place may not be the same as those before her.
While Yi Yi was making various guesses in his heart, he watched as Ning Meng reached out and touched the picture on the bronze door.
"Ning Meng, what is the difference between the pattern on this door and the one you saw in the Phoenix Organization?" Ichichi asked.
Ning Meng looked at the mural on the bronze door and said, "Sister, do you feel that something is wrong when you look at the eyes of the sharp-mouthed fox in this painting?" ”
As soon as Yi heard Ning Meng's words, he immediately turned his head to stare at the fox on the bronze door painting. Yi Yi knew that the fox was actually very spiritual and demonic, so she didn't dare to look directly at the fox on the painting, but just glanced at it casually.
But when he saw the fox's eyes, Yiyi still felt uncomfortable all over, that kind of look was very strange, and it would make people feel a special feeling anyway.
"It's true, but there is something wrong with the fox's eyes." Yi Yi said.
Ning Meng looked at the pattern on the bronze door, stretched out her hand and gently pressed it on the fox's two eyes, but the truth was not as simple as she imagined, the bronze door was still closed, without any trace of activation.
"I'm so angry." Ningmeng snorted quietly.
As soon as Yi saw this situation, he was no longer afraid of anything, and raised his arm to press it on Ning Meng's little hand, but he didn't expect the two fox eyes on the bronze door pattern to be pressed down instantly, and then there was a sound of various gears biting inside the bronze door.
No one expected this to happen suddenly, Yi Yi pulled Ning Meng and quickly retreated from the stone steps, and Miao Lang also came over and stood below quietly looking at the bronze door.
The bronze door slowly rose under the gaze of everyone, and when the dust and mist dissipated, there was no danger here, and Miao Lang was the first to walk into the bronze door with a flashlight.
Inside the bronze door, there was only a very small stone room, Miao Lang stood in the stone room, looked around, and found that there was no other place here except this stone room.
In the center of the chamber is a very large bronze disc, but this disc is depleted and covered in rust, and it looks like it has not been used for at least a hundred years.
Miao Lang stood aside and looked at the bronze disc, perhaps he thought of something, and suddenly stepped forward and gently scratched the disc with a flashlight and a saber.
The patina on the outside of the bronze disc was scraped off, and Miao Lang scraped it a few more times, and then asked, "Ning Meng, do you see if this thing is the same material as the parts in the glass jar outside?" ”
Ning Meng stepped forward and squatted there quietly looking at the rusted bronze disc, and said, "Yes, it is indeed a material, but I am afraid that the truth is more than that, I estimate that the bronze metal dug up in this mine is probably the raw material used to make these things." ”
"What do you think this disc looks like?" Miao Lang said.
"This must be a clock, right? It's just that this clock is bigger. Ningmeng replied.
Miao Lang nodded and said, "There is no road ahead, it seems that our clue is here, a giant discarded clock dial." ”
Yi Yi circled around the bronze dial a few times, and suddenly said, "Have you ever seen a watch made with bronze?" ”
Ning Meng frowned and said: "Yes, although bronze is more durable, it is also easy to rust and blur, and in terms of performance, bronze is indeed not suitable for making raw materials for clocks and watches." ”
Yi Yi turned his back to the awkward team, winked at Miao Lang and Yi Yi, and said, "Now we can think about it from another angle, why are there so many clocks here?" ”
"This ......" Ning Meng was a little stunned, and said at a loss: "It's the owner of these clocks who likes to collect clocks, right?" ”
"No way, if you like to collect watches, then why do you have to disassemble these watches into parts and bury them deep in the ground?" Yi Yi smiled and said, "Actually, we were all blinded by the strange situation in front of us, and we forgot the most real thing in the beginning. ”
"Huh?" Ning Meng stuck out her tongue and asked, "What, sister?" ”
"What are clocks for?" Ichichi asked.
"Needless to say, it depends on the time." Ning Meng blinked her eyes and said playfully.
Yi nodded and spoke, "That's right, we all take the strange situation here too seriously, in fact, what we really need to pay attention to is the purpose of the owner of the mine to collect so many clocks. ”
"It can't be to look at the time," Miao Lang also said a little speechlessly, "Then all it takes is a clock, right?" ”
Yi Yi smiled and said, "I don't know if you have noticed, when we came in, those glass jars were marked with numbers. ”
"Well, I saw my sister." Ning Meng recalled, "But those numbers seem a little strange. ”
"What's strange?" Yi Yi looked at Ning Meng and asked with a smile.
"Not in order," Ningmeng began, "It wasn't labeled in the order it was on the shelf, and I was thinking that maybe they were wrong." ”
Yi Yi shook his head and said, "They didn't mark it wrong, it's just that we ordinary people can't understand the laws they marked." ”
"What do you mean?" Miao Lang asked.
"Base." Ichi said, "The base system they use is not the decimal system, but the other base system. I was curious, so I stole a look at all the labels on the shelves, and they all shared several decimal systems, one octal, one twenty-four, and one saged. ”
"What does this mean?" Miao Lang said.
"I guess the owner of this mine is recording a time," Yi Yi thought as he closed his eyes, "Twenty-four and sexagesimal are best understood, they are used to record time, the key is this octal, why is there an octal?" ”
Yi Yi said to herself with her eyes closed, her brows just locked together, as if she had encountered some difficult problem to solve.
"I see." Yi Yi opened his eyes and said suddenly. (To be continued.) )
