Chapter Forty-Six: The Penros Ladder
The cooperation with the teenager was actually just Tang Zhen's temporary idea, but after contacting the teenager, Tang Zhen was full of expectations for what surprises the teenager could bring to him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This young man is not simple, and now he is unknown, just because he is fledgling, and once he can grasp the power, he can definitely become a character.
As for how high he can stand and how far he can go in the future, it is not something that Tang Zhen needs to care about.
For Tang Zhen, there are too many secrets of the existence of the building, and it is only the first contact, and he has already felt a lot of visual impact.
But Tang Zhen also knew that these were just appearances, and he believed that in the hands of higher-level authorities, more secrets must be guarded.
Since you want to build a building of your own, the more information you gather about it, the better it will be for you.
Be careful not to do anything unprepared to live longer!
After pondering for a moment, Tang Zhen turned his head and left.
It's been a while since I left the Wanderer Town, and I don't know how Murong Ziyan and Qianlong and the others are doing. Although Tang Zhen knew that without his permission, they should not leave the town, but waited for him to come back.
Tang Zhen thought as he walked, but after walking for more than ten minutes, he found that he seemed to be lost!
This gloomy corridor seemed to be very long, and he had walked for so long and not reached the end at all.
According to Tang Zhen's visual measurement of the outer wall area of the Black Rock Tower, it was determined that there would never be such a long corridor inside, but the corridor in front of him was really stepping on his feet.
After pondering in place for a while, Tang Zhen stepped forward again, but this time he didn't pay attention to his feet, made a mark, and paid attention to the details inside the corridor.
Half an hour later, Tang Zhen stopped, but a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"I really didn't expect that I would be put in a position by that little guy and introduce myself to such an interesting place!"
Tang Zhen sighed secretly, but he didn't feel much annoyance in his heart, just a little self-deprecating, and he didn't know if he was calculated by others.
In the past half an hour, Tang Zhen kept walking forward, but there was no sign of stepping out of the corridor, as if this was an endless corridor that would never exit.
In Tang Zhen's opinion, this corridor is full of weirdness, if you keep going but there is no exit, I am afraid that it will drive psychologically fragile people crazy.
If an ordinary person strays into this place, he will definitely not be able to get out until the day he dies.
But Tang Zhen is different, he not only has the application of black technology against the sky, but also has far more insight than the natives of the world in Loucheng.
After the natives of the other world enter this corridor, they may be at a loss and do not know its strange principle, but Tang Zhen has a faint guess.
This corridor should be a Penros Staircase, or it can be called the Soul Ladder.
Black Rock Castle is square in shape, with a huge plaza in the middle, and several floors of underground space underneath the castle for planting and breeding.
Ordinary floors are connected by four corridors, and are connected up and down to ensure unimpeded traffic.
And this built environment provides excellent geographical conditions for the construction of the Penrose Steps.
Perhaps this Penros Staircase was not built by Black Rock City, but appeared with it after the building was built.
Tang Zhen also heard that after every building is completed, there will be a strange place, and strange things often happen in that place. Therefore, this kind of place will be regarded as a forbidden place by the residents of the building, and even the rulers of the building city prohibit the residents from approaching those places.
The basic principle of the Penrose Staircase is that there are four staircases, connected at four corners, but each staircase is upward, so it can be extended indefinitely.
When you walk on this ladder, you are stepping into a never-ending loop, never finding a way out.
To break this cycle, you have to jump out of the box, or break the walls on both sides of the corridor that guide people forward, in order to jump out of the Penros Stairs.
Tang Zhen recalled the scene when he and the boy entered this corridor, but found that he couldn't find any clues at all.
Although the Penros Stairs was weird, Tang Zhen couldn't be trapped by a single passage, and according to his previous methods, he had at least two ways to get out of here.
However, as things stand, both approaches have drawbacks.
Teleportation can take him away immediately, but when he comes back again, he will still be in the same place, so this is not an option.
The map teleported a short distance, and it could also help him teleport to any location within 100 meters, but from the current scene displayed on the map, only the passage was displayed, and the rest of the place was pitch black.
He believed that it was definitely the strange ability of the building that was causing trouble, blocking or disrupting the map, otherwise it would be impossible for a powerful map to only show images of the corridors.
Tang Zhen didn't dare to teleport rashly, in case the dark place was a high-altitude position, Tang Zhen, who couldn't teleport continuously, would definitely fall from the air and be smashed into flesh.
So this method can also be undesirable.
However, in addition to these two simple and violent methods, Tang Zhen actually had other methods.
First of all, he can choose to blast and smash the hallway open an exit.
But if he did this, it would be easy to attract the attention of Black Rock Tower, in case he ushered in a powerful Black Rock City powerhouse who could see through his quantum stealth light curtain, Tang Zhen's situation would be dangerous.
Or he can use the data battle interface to scan and probe this corridor.
The reason why the data combat interface is expensive is not only because of simple functions such as monitoring the user's body data and weapon status monitoring, but because it has more than 20 powerful branch options, but Tang Zhen has never used it.
If these powerful functions are possessed by an elite warrior, the opponent can immediately transform into a super soldier king, which is enough to make any enemy fearful.
What Tang Zhen wants to use now is an option in the data battle interface.
The real-time mapping and imaging function of terrain brings together radar, laser, ultrasonic and other functions as a whole, which can map the geographical environment within one kilometer in a very short time and establish a four-dimensional hologram.
When he activated this option, data suddenly refreshed from the corner of Tang Zhen's eyes like a waterfall, and at the same time, a clear three-dimensional image composed of countless subtle dots and lines appeared in front of his eyes.
A minute later, the detection was over, and the four-dimensional holographic stereoscopic image appeared in front of his eyes.
With just one glance, Tang Zhen was already sure that this was indeed a Panloth Ladder!
After carefully reading the image, Tang Zhen determined his position, and slowly walked to a corridor wall not far away to stand still.
In front of him was a real wall, smashed with a stone, it would make an echo, and when touched with his hands, it was also a real touch, no different from other corridor walls.
But Tang Zhen can be sure that the real exit of this Penros Ladder is here!
The mapping results of the data battle interface are absolutely infallible, and in the entire passage, there is only a tiny gap in this wall, which happens to be the appearance of a door.
Tang Zhen strode towards the wall, even if he touched the wall immediately, he had no intention of stopping.
However, just as his nose was about to hit the wall, something magical happened, the image of the hard wall was still there, but Tang Zhen felt that he had passed through an empty doorway.
But in the blink of an eye, Tang Zhen found that he had left the Panlos Stairs and walked into the corridor outside.
Looking back, the doorway with the hidden soul ladder looked no different from other places, and even the hard walls of the corridor had disappeared without a trace.
"It's an interesting place!"
Tang Zhen smiled, then got up and walked towards the outside of Black Rock City.
