Chapter 373: Listening to the Secret

Although I didn't anticipate the changes so far, a few copper wires, plus two more hollowed out pieces of cherry wood to make earmuffs, quickly made a listening device for cracking the cipher mechanism.

Although the shape is the same, but now this password disk is two times larger than the previous password disk on the copper door, one of those two circles is sixty grids, and the other is seventy-two grids, which is not known how many times more changes. Ye Tao suddenly thought, in fact, Xiling is really kind, if he tried the password of the bronze door one by one and used the exhaustive method to play, wouldn't it have been opened long ago after so many years? Anyway, it's just a waste of manpower. There are countless things that Xiling wastes manpower. Although Ye Tao was still in reverie in his heart, he had already begun to crack the password. There is one good thing about the old cipher disk, that is, it will be relatively simple to distinguish by sound, one grid after another, and the sound of friction and rotation is very different. This big password disk, which has twelve circles from the inside to the outside, Ye Tao cracked the two rings of the innermost circle in just a while. There are only four grids, two rings of six grids, and there is no sounding reed set up to confuse and crack, so naturally you can hear the difference when you hear it. Not to mention Ye Tao, even the apprentices in Ye's workshop who have received some training in locks can do it.

But then came the challenge of getting tougher and tougher. With each outward push, the number of teeth increases, and the number of sounds that need to be memorized increases at the same time, and then the position of the tooth springs is determined among the multiple sounds. Not only the increase in the number of cipher teeth, but also the technical limitations of the year, resulting in these metal cipher disks, the more the outer ring of the cipher ring, the higher the possibility of defects in the processing, and over the years, these defects will undoubtedly be amplified by a variety of factors, and, although they have done anti-rust treatment, but there are still a lot of oxidation traces inside and outside the cipher ring, how to distinguish between effective and ineffective sounds, but not only a technical problem, but also the experience of a password cracker, A trial of patience and courage.

Ye Tao's method was actually not very smart, he turned the cipher ring at a steady speed with one hand, while listening to the sound of metal grinding inside with his eyes closed, and his mind was constantly simulating the possibility of causing various sounds. Over the years, Ye Tao has been in Ye's workshop, and the types of various precision parts and metal materials he has come into contact with are richer than those craftsmen back then, but they are rich to the sky, and he is more familiar with all kinds of scratching and collision sounds. He spun the cipher disk in circles until he remembered the slight difference in the sound of each cipher tooth, simulating the shape of the entire cipher ring in his head. And at this point, in fact, the ring password has been cracked.

Although one link after another was cracked, Ye Tao had almost simulated the internal structure of this password disk in his mind, but after all, there were still many things that could not be understood. He frowned, and his eyes were closed, as if in a state of flux. His heart was completely immersed in the gears of the code.

Tan Weixin saw that Ye Tao had begun to crack the sixth ring in almost an hour, and she was also relieved, although she knew that the more you got to the back, the more difficult it became, but at this time, even if Suo Yong really came here, he might not be able to do better. Although Suo Yong only settled on the very unpopular profession of cracking the code of the institution many years after he left the school, he began to have his own unique achievements. Don't forget, although Suo Yong is the second senior brother, except for carpentry work, almost all other aspects of their senior brother's knowledge comes from Ye Tao, and compared to the basic skills in all aspects, Ye Tao is unbeatable. And Ye Tao's imagination is much more than that of their senior brothers.

Tan Weixin just stared at Ye Tao in a daze, she watched the sweat drops on Ye Tao's head begin to emerge little by little, gathering into large drops of sweat, and then sliding down the resolute arc of her face. When the first drop of sweat slipped down, Ye Tao had already begun to crack the eighth ring, but he was obviously tired, the speed of turning the password ring was not so uniform, and his expression became more and more serious, so serious that he would always show the happiness when he was concentrating on work. The sound of sweat droplets falling to the ground startled Ye Tao, and his hand trembled, but it aborted the progress of cracking the code. Ye Tao ripped off the cherry wood earmuffs with some annoyance, and waved his hand weakly in disappointment.

Tan Weixin suddenly stood up, walked behind Ye Tao, and gently swiped a hand across Ye Tao's face, brushing away the sweat droplets. The moment Tan Weixin's hand touched Ye Tao, Ye Tao, who was originally highly nervous, suddenly straightened up his entire back, and then relaxed. And Tan Weixin's hand was gently placed on his shoulder. Bending down and leaning next to Ye Tao's ear, Tan Weixin said softly, "Don't worry." Let's take a break. ”

Ye Tao also knew that after almost two hours of cracking, his spirit was really on the verge of collapse, and this kind of very energy-consuming work still needed to be carried out best when he was full of energy. He wasn't too stubborn, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

A piece of felt cloth had been spread out on the ground, and Ye Tao was lying on it with his clothes. Tan Weixin grinned, sat on one end of the felt cloth, and asked Ye Tao to put his head on her lap. Probably knowing that she was still too skinny, it would make Ye Tao lie down less comfortable, so she also pulled out a piece of clothing from her bag and folded it on her lap. That day, the gorgeous weavers of Silk Lingjin could only be reduced to pillows, which made the noble children who knew the goods present gasp. The annual output of Tencel Lingjin is only a few horses, only produced in a small town in Chunnan, and almost all the brocades produced are purchased by the royal family of Chunnan. Extravagant and extravagant, even their lords are not very willing to wear it, usually, they only regard the Tencel Lingjin as the most important reward, as well as as as a gift to friendly countries. Generally, very few people really make Tencel Lingjin into clothes, and most of them are collected. Unexpectedly, the woman in front of her, who looked thin and delicate, made a dress from a moon-white horse, which is considered a top-grade thing even in the Tencel Spirit Brocade, and actually used such clothes to pad the head of "Lu Zhen".

Ye Tao never cared how expensive the pillow was, only whether it was comfortable or not, seeing that Tan Weixin actually played a little bit at this time to be a pillow for him, he smiled and lay down, his head almost touched the gorgeous pillow, his breathing became depressed and long, and he actually fell asleep immediately. I just cracked those cipher rings, and the effort expended can be seen.

Tan Weixin stroked Ye Tao's head, looking affectionate. But when she raised her head and looked at the third princess and the other three gentlemen, as well as Commander Qin, it was another affectionate picture. Her expression seemed to be close and distant, and although she looked friendly, she had a hint of pride, as if to say: It is up to you whether you are qualified to be my friend or not.

Tan Weixin continued to stroke Ye Tao's hair, and said lightly to these people: "You guys, still very curious about who we are?" Also, why are we here? ”

Several people nodded. Just looking at the Tencel Lingjin that Tan Weixin took out and the expression she had just now, they were enough to judge that the wife of this so-called "Lu Zhen" was by no means an ordinary person. This kind of noble but indifferent atmosphere in the bones is by no means something that can be simulated by the arrogance of ordinary family daughters.

"Actually, I also came here and saw the magnificent and complicated underground palace here, and I understood. It turns out that this thing is so interesting. Tan Weixin calmly recounted: "As for who we are, there is always a chance for you to know when we turn back, but not now. Whether it is for you to know or not, anyway, for our safety, I am afraid that you will have to follow us in a short time. ”

Hearing what Tan Weixin said, several people were in despair. Although they also thought of this, it was a different feeling to be picked out by Tan Weixin. It's just that when Tan Weixin said this, it was also clear that he would not kill them soon, but would rather take the risk and take them with him. This is relatively good news.

Tan Weixin continued: "Why hasn't this dungeon been activated? Why is there no record of entering the former court's chambers? I think there are two reasons for this. This palace should have been the last bit of hope left by the royal family of the previous dynasty for its family. This is indeed a palace building, and it is also an imperial mausoleum system, but, I don't know if it took too long to build, or it was too complicated to prepare for various other related affairs. And here, in fact, there is a secret reserve of a part of the treasure that wants to be used to allow the Miao descendants of the imperial family to rejuvenate the Bo Buyu, a very huge treasure. Looking at the confused looks of several people, Tan Weixin smiled and said, "Fortunately, this part of the treasure did not fall into the hands of the Miao descendants of the previous dynasty after all, but was obtained by our side." It's because we've already been here that it's normal to have a map of the geography that isn't complete. But now, anyway, the drawings of this maze are not very useful, just a basis. Whether it's a dungeon, or a treasure, or even an imperial tomb that has never been activated, it is actually the center of the whole grand plan. It's just that too much financial and material resources have been spent here, although whether it is the underground palace or the magnificent and gorgeous garden that later covered the underground palace, it can be regarded as a big deal and a rainy day, but at the same time it also accelerated the collapse of the empire, so that the previous dynasty had not had time to enjoy its own year-old arrangement has fallen apart. However, is it true that the Miao descendants of the former dynasty have completely disappeared in the torrent of history, forgotten their bloodline, and given up their identity as the suzerain of the party that dominated the world? No, no, by no means. ”

"The Miao descendants of the previous dynasty may not know about the treasure, but they have another set of powers, which have been quietly operating since before the fall of the previous dynasty. They should be happy with that, too. It is never the wealth that makes history, but the people who control it. ”

Everyone present was fascinated by Tan Weixin's eloquent narration. Tan Weixin picked up a glass of water, moistened her throat, and continued......
