Chapter 45: Insufficient IQ
"Opened!?"
Standing at the human-height entrance in front of the ruins' gates, Rosas's face was full of consternation.
Let's be honest.
He thought that Dr. Henason, as an authority on the ancient script, could open the gate, and he had prepared a large number of materials for this purpose, and brought the materials of the scholars who had studied the gate before, but he never expected that the gate of the ruins would be opened in less than two minutes after Henason came.
What does this mean?
Lao Tzu's more than 100 scholars who studied the primeval script worked tirelessly for more than three months without results, and Hainasen solved the problem in two minutes.
Is it my fault?
No way.
I'm sir.
I can't be wrong.
So it's all the fault of those junk scholars!
“.... The order is to go down, drive away all the scholars in the barracks who are eating and drinking, and burn all the materials for me, I don't want to see them later, and inform the exploration team to assemble immediately, the gate of the ruins has been opened, without further ado, we will immediately prepare to go down to explore. ”
After finishing the order, Rosas looked at Gu Moli on the side.
"Dr. Henathan!"
At this time, Rosas's attitude changed dramatically from the beginning.
If Rosas's attitude was closer to businesslike at the beginning, the current Rosas looking at Gu Moli's expression is basically equivalent to looking at a beckoning cat, in the face of this kind of primeval ruins, an authoritative professor who can open the door of the ruins in a few minutes is undoubtedly the biggest magic weapon.
"I solemnly invite you now."
"Would you like to enter the ruins with the exploration team?"
"We need your help."
"Of course."
Gu Moli, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly smiled: "I'm honored." ”
"Good!"
After receiving an accurate answer, Rosas also smiled: "Our exploration team will arrive soon, and in addition to you, Doctor, there is also a scientific researcher on our side who will join, and he is responsible for all the equipment of the exploration team this time, and he also took the initiative to apply for cooperation with the exploration team." ”
Speaking of which, Rosas looked at his watch: "He should be almost there by now." ”
"Doctor, wait a moment."
"Okay."
After watching Rosas leave, Gu Moli turned to look at Hua Qiong, who had been frowning and contemplating since the beginning: "I said, haven't you figured it out yet?" ”
"I'm thinking!"
Hua Qiong smacked her lips: "You can't be sure that the relief can open the door, it's just one of your options, and any relief that looks like a doorknob, or has a mechanical nature, you will include it in the options for opening the door, but the question is why do you think so?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Moli nodded: "And then?" ”
"I've thought about it, it's a huge ruin, and all that's been dug out is the gate, and you can't get in anywhere except the gate, but this door is so big that you think there's actually a small door? But that doesn't make sense, what if this is actually a fully enclosed ruin? ”
"It's not completely enclosed."
“..... Yes? ”
Gu Moli hooked his hand and pulled Hua Qiong to the gate of the ruins to distance himself: "You are just reasoning, but reasoning without clues is the same as a theorem without proof, it is a castle in the air, and before reasoning, the first thing you have to do is to observe, tell me, what is in this gate?" ”
"What...?"
Hua Qiong looked at the gate of the ruins blankly, and subconsciously replied: "This is a very huge portal, about ten meters high, the door is covered with reliefs from top to bottom, but a considerable part of it has been damaged, so I can't find any usable information from the reliefs....?" ”
"That's not right."
Gu Moli shook his head: "The destruction of the relief itself is usable information. ”
"Huh?"
“.... The relief and the gate are made of the same material, and the military has spent so long helpless against the gate of that strange material, so why is the relief made of the same material damaged? Earthquakes and plate movements are not enough to match the military's lasers, nor are they enough to destroy reliefs. ”
Gu Moli explained and walked around the gate: "Since it wasn't the destruction caused by natural factors, what was going on?" Why is this destruction occurring? ”
"Description...."
Hua Qiong's eyes gradually revealed a light that seemed to be understood.
This shows that this destruction did not occur after the ruins became ruins, but before they became ruins. This devastation occurred in the primeval period! ”
"So the question is, in the primeval period, under what circumstances was it most likely to cause such destruction?"
Gu Moli rubbed his hands and said firmly: "There is only one answer. ”
“.... War. ”
"Obviously, there was a great war in the primeval period, and the target was this ruin, or something in the ruins, and since there would be a war because of this, it means that this thing is very important, so there must be a way to get this thing out of the ruins after the war."
"So it's unlikely that this site is fully enclosed."
"This door must also be openable, but for a shelter to protect things, it makes no sense to build a door so big, and it is too slow to close, so it is not so much a door as a wall, and the real door should be smaller and more hidden."
“.... So that's what you thought of? ”
"Of course."
"No, what if the door is locked from the inside?"
Hearing this, Gu Moli smiled slightly: "Sometimes I really can't help but wonder if you are a stupid person. ”
Hua Qiong: "??? ”
“... All things considered, if it's an internal anti-lock, how do you take things out from the outside? If the thing to be protected is a living thing, then the internal anti-lock is not safe, what if the people inside come up with a brain? So the possibility of external anti-locking is higher. ”
"In the face of unknown problems, it is common sense to prioritize answers with higher probabilities."
"But isn't it more reliable to use a key if the external lock? Or can electronic locks too? Remote control or something, where is it like you, you just dial a doorknob and solve the problem, it's not scientific at all, and there is no secrecy at all for such a ruin, right? ”
"But the problem is that I didn't expect it either."
Hua Qiong: "What? ”
Gu Moli shook his head: "I said that I didn't expect the door to be so easy to open, in fact, I also speculated at the beginning that I needed to use a key to open the door, so I even had the key ready." ”
Saying that, Gu Moli also took out a bronze key and showed it to Hua Qiong.
In this script, he has obtained a total of four task props, [Someone's Notebook], [Circle of Life], [Key], [Pocket Revolver], of which the Pocket Revolver has been used, the Circle of Life is the only prop, and I still don't know what it is for, and someone's notebook has been deciphered.
The only thing that didn't work was this [key].
Judging from the introduction, this is the key to his family's study, but Gu Moli has always felt that there is a mystery in it, and he thought that it was the key to opening the door to the ruins....
Whoever thought it wouldn't be useful at all.
"I'm also a human being, and I'm not an omniscient god, in fact, I don't understand why I don't need a key, and I don't know what this relic protects, after all, I just wanted to experiment, but I didn't expect to be so lucky to find a relief and open the door."
It would be nice if this luck could be used for gacha.
“.... Okay. ”
Hua Qiong nodded speechlessly, reluctantly accepting this explanation: "The door is open, are we going to get ready to go in?" Speaking of which, we've all opened the doors, where have the other players gone? Six players, should be divided equally into two camps, right? ”
"Boss, you and I are both from the Imperial Military, so we have a companion?"
"And this time the exit conditions are as difficult as the beginner's tutorial.,You have to find all the players...."
"That's not right."
“.... What's wrong with it again! ”
Hua Qiong scratched her hair a little irritably, and had to admit that just after listening to Gu Moli's thoughts, she had a feeling that her IQ was not enough for the first time.
And this is undoubtedly a blow to Miss Huada, who has always been obsessed with reasoning and is proud of her intelligence.
"Is there a problem?"
"No, I didn't mean you."
Gu Moli stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance: "Look over there, there seems to be something wrong with Rosas." ”
“..... Yes? ”
Before the words fell, a deafening roar suddenly sounded at the entrance of the barracks in the distance.
