Chapter 278: A Journey to Technical Archaeology?

Even though he was calm and didn't feel nervous, the heat under the shadowless lamp illuminated by a large pile of fish oil and whale fat, in order to make the work of the two go smoothly, and even arranged to wipe the sweat of the two of them were special talents: Liu Yong and Jin Ze.

Jin Ze, who has been the chief of the guard for Her Royal Highness Princess Embroidery for many years, is better than Fang in the prime of life, and all his kung fu is at the top level. The sect he originally came from was known for its light skills, soft and square shots, and no fireworks, and now he came to wipe Suo Yong's sweat, although it was suspected of being overkill, but there were no complaints. You know, it's the Zanglong Box that is tackling the key now, and being allowed to stay in this hall is a great trust in itself. And Liu Yong won't say anything, around Ye Tao, it seems that all kinds of novel and interesting things will automatically and consciously appear, and he will never get bored.

Suo Yong used the probe to gently flick the lock teeth in the second lock cylinder, one ring after another, and the uneven height of the lock teeth, judging the relationship between different lock teeth according to the friction sound between them, to guess the structure of the lock cylinder. And in his mind, the whole lock structure was also invented. There were already eleven probes against the first cylinder, and it was quite a hard job to put the probes into the keyhole, toggle it, and feel the subtle feedback and verify what you heard in your ears. And Ye Tao was also very nervous watching Suo Yong's operation on the side, carefully observing Suo Yong's expressions and movements. If something goes wrong, he will immediately take emergency measures.

Time passed little by little, and after more than two hours, Suo Yong's movements stopped. He pulled out the probes that had probed into the second lock cylinder first, and then looked at Ye Tao. Seeing Suo Yong shake his hand and move for a while, Ye Tao knew that Suo Yong should be going well. Wait a minute, it's going to be officially cracked.

"Senior brother, are you sure?" Ye Tao asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Suo Yong breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. His legs were numb and he nearly fell to the ground. After all, he is not too young, and his qi and blood activities are not as fast as those of young people. “…… Yo he...... Speaking of which, there's something wrong with this thing itself. Although the parts are still running smoothly, there are already two locking teeth in the inner lock cylinder that are a little loose. …… I doubt it, though. After all, from the day this Tibetan box was installed, these lockteeth were loose. Otherwise, the precision of the process is simply appalling. ”

Ye Tao shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said, "It's not strange." It's a miracle that this material actually has the same machining accuracy as it is now. With this kind of workmanship alone, I'm afraid that the Tibetan Long Box is a legend, but this kind of legend can only be understood by craftsmen. And use the Tibetan Long box to make people...... Hehe. It's impossible to know. ”

After resting for a while, Suo Yong adjusted his body to the best state again and sat down in front of the Tibetan Long box again. The entire performance hall immediately returned to silence, except for the faint sound of metal scraping and breathing.

Suo Yong imagined over and over again in his mind what he had just figured out with the help of a probe and his own ears. These very small changes are accumulated into a complete structural diagram in the mind. Now, the speculation in his mind about the Zanglong box may not be accurate to every data in the box, but it is not far from ten. Suo Yong is different from Ye Tao's other senior brothers. The elder brother Guan Haishan was born as a shipwright, but he changed from a carpenter to become the world's leading architect, which is not a serious business; The third Zhao Dazhu is a tendon guy. But learning the craft is really fast, and when it comes to solid technical skills, no one can compare with him; Although the fourth child is not technically outstanding, his sensitivity to process and efficiency in workshop management is enough for him to jump out of the box of a pure craftsman to become a technical management talent. And Suo Yong, when it comes to talent, is not bad, but he just lacks a little expertise. There is also a lack of courage. He didn't dare to become a professional architect like Guan Haishan, he couldn't be obsessed with technology like Zhao Dazhu, although he was also a strong point in management, but he didn't dare to be like Qian Shun and simply didn't care about whether the work in his hands was good or not, and he didn't even have the courage of his younger brother...... His younger brother Suo Zheng is already a big man that no one dares to offend in the Yunzhou military, relying on his ability to control the overall situation and the ability to execute details in logistics management and deployment. As the first person in history to become a general entirely because of logistics, Suo Zheng must have gone down in history. But Suo Yong is also one of the brothers in Ye's workshop. Also as a disciple of Ye Laogeng. Can you only go on with "mediocrity"?

Finally, this time. It kind of allowed him to find an opportunity. He didn't expect that he really had a specialty in cracking this kind of thing.

After simulating it in his head a few times, Soyong finally started to do it. He continued to put the probes into the keyhole inside and set them in the right place. Unlike just now, now he has clearly considered where to place each probe, how to put it, how to put it, and how to fix the tail of the probe. Once he had all the probes installed, he lit a tallow candle, heated the end of the probe, and inserted the end of the probe into a special block of fire paint. When the probes cool down again, the probes will be firmly fixed to the fire paint block, and then, as long as he gently turns the fire paint block, then all his methods, all the ideas, and all the situations simulated in his mind can be revealed.

Suo Yong carefully checked the position and fixation of the probes he had placed, and his heart tightened as he gently pinched the piece of fire paint with his two fingers. Sometimes, things are so strange, he finds that when he completes the whole process of unlocking the land, and when it is finally revealed, he is a little apprehensive, and he has completely lost the calmness he had just had.

"What's wrong?" Ye Tao took off the earbuds of the stethoscope and asked.

"Come on, Ye Tao, you can turn this one last time." Soyon stood up. After sketching out the whole process in my mind, the process of placing all the probes didn't take much time, and only half an hour had passed since the rest time just now.

Ye Tao scratched his head and said, "Senior brother, don't come to this set." It's your job, and it's your responsibility. I don't care about that. ”

Suo Yong frowned and hesitated for a long time. Ye Tao has a point, at this moment, he can indeed put this responsibility in Ye Tao's hands. If he succeeds, Ye Tao will not share the glory he deserves; But if he fails, Ye Tao will definitely take all the responsibility for him. Is he ready to be like this forever?

Suo Yong didn't think much about it, and gently turned the fire paint block in his hand. The key, which was made up of many probes, turned half a circle, and the sound from the Zanglong box was completely different from before. It is no longer the sound of metal friction and the sound of the movement and return of the parts in click, but the crisp sound of the parts turning, one by one the tooth springs are unscrewed, and they fall exactly where they should be, and then, only a "sonorous" sound can be heard...... The lid jumped open.

Suo Yong let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he let go of his grip on the fire paint block and took a few steps back. Suo Yong looked at the Zanglong box, then at the few people standing around, and said easily, "Okay, right?" I really can't do anything about it. ”

"Senior brother, it's okay to be here for a while, let's go to Zhengyuan for a drink tonight?" Ye Tao also seemed very happy.

Suo Yong nodded and said, "Okay." Then he turned and walked towards the door, his steps were extremely brisk, and then he pushed hard open the soundproof doors and walked out......

Jin Ze also followed, while Liu Yong came to Ye Tao's side, looking extremely curious about what was hidden in the Zanglong box.

Liu Yong is not reckless, but he should indeed know these contents, and even, no matter what his subjective intentions are, he will definitely know them. Ye Tao gently opened the box, and inside was a handful of things wrapped in red satin. Ye Tao took out the things, put them on the workbench, and gently unfolded them.

Wrapped inside, as Chen Kai said, there were two maps. Both maps were drawn on a full sheet of paper and then carefully folded. Maybe it's because it's rarely opened again after folding, and even the map in the box has limited access to air, and the paper isn't even yellowed, or maybe the map hasn't been stored long enough to make the paper yellow. Ye Tao glanced at the two maps, and before he had time to look at the dense fonts annotated on the edge of the map, and to see where the treasures and documents were stored separately, he noticed the structural explanation map located at the main location of the map. Whether it's a treasure cave or a place where documents are stored, it's obvious that some mechanisms need to be cracked after careful consideration.

This is not surprising, he is curious, why the so-called treasure cave, is actually this time and space, the tomb structure that is very popular in this era. If it was built in that time and space when the war was in chaos, it would cause a chain reaction, and there would be more troubles encountered in the construction, and it would be impossible for no one to know about it. But until now, there has been no account of the construction of the year. Ye Tao didn't speculate much, because the map was already in his hand, and there would be an opportunity to verify what was going on in the future.

What makes Ye Tao even more interesting is that this treasure cave, that is, the burial dungeon from the entrance to the main building, almost all the forms of mechanism are used along the way, and there are various simplified versions of stone in the popular forms of architecture at that time. It can be said that the person who designed this underground palace has a very comprehensive and thoughtful understanding of architecture and mechanics, and this guy must have a strong psychology of display and show-off to put all kinds of designs into it; There must be a strong planning ability to make so many different things look harmonious at least in the current diagram; He must also have a strong ability to persuade people to allow him to carry out construction according to such a plan...... Naturally, there must be a very strong construction team to fully execute these designs. But why is it that such a large project can be completely covered up? But in general, Ye Tao felt that this underground complex should be a little interesting.
