Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Brain Like Other
"Why don't you reflect it intuitively and make it so obscure?" Li Yulan asked.
"Perhaps...... There is something unspeakable, and you can't do it. Bai Yunfei guessed.
"No matter who the big picture posted by this reptile is for, it's too grinding, just set up a big sign here, and write 'Advertise it widely', isn't it over, what are you doing with this calf?" Niu Gang said disdainfully.
"It can't be said that, according to Wei Baozhu and the white-haired sheep-headed man who has lived for thousands of years, after the death of King Wei, the internal forces of the dynasty were instantly divided into several factions, intriguing, fighting for power and profit, and the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. And at this time, those sheep-headed people who were originally the experimental subjects they cultivated suddenly launched a riot, because they were more able to command the army of mutant creatures, and the former 'Divine Beast Army' turned against the water, so the Terrans were not their opponents at all, and they suffered heavy casualties, and the situation was getting worse. ”
Bai Yunfei continued to correct Niu Gang's incorrect discussion: "At that time, people could not openly set up billboards to promote and instruct something, they could only adopt this way, express it implicitly, and pass it on to their allies, descendants and other people, because they may stick to one side and cannot compete with the army of mutant creatures head-on, and can only rely on the mountaintop canal and other previously built projects to do some dying struggles, which may also be true." ”
Niu Gang thought for a while and shouted: "This statue of his grandmother is so big, with this kind of work, he would have been able to fight back, don't think about winning the war, and play with stones here, he deserves to be finished with his grandmother's group of ancient people!" ”
"No, it's possible that the colossal statue was used for something else in the first place, who knows." Bai Yunfei disagreed with Niu Gang's view.
"However, these ancient times are still very powerful, they can actually come up with such a trick, not to mention anything else, just through the secret method, can make different kinds of moss breed on this stone wall, it is very remarkable, these moss can be resurrected by a bubble in water, and then attract countless snails and slugs ranging from black and red to form a huge portrait, just this hand, it is amazing!" Bai Yunfei praised the ancients from the bottom of his heart.
"The snail has the most teeth in the world, with more than 26,000 teeth, even though its mouth is about the size of a needle. They like to live in a dark and damp, loose and humus environment, they are nocturnal, most afraid of direct sunlight, sensitive to the environment, and like to eat mosses and other plants with a pythium smell. ”
Wang Ziming began to popularize his biological knowledge to everyone:
"Slugs, whose scientific name is 'slugs', look like shellless snails with a moist body surface and mucus. This rare pink variety, which has been spotted in the Kaptar Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, feeds mainly on mosses and is especially active after heavy rains. They usually bury their bodies under moldy leaves during the day, and at night they crawl out in groups to devour the mold and moss from the trees. ”
"I just want to know what this painting represents." Cao Longxuan looked at everyone.
"It's simple, you see
This statue is exactly the same as the huge portrait on the stone wall, although her head has fallen to the ground, but you look at the direction she is facing, the whole posture of the person, it is completely an indication to you, do according to the guidance on this painting, something will happen. Bai Yunfei guessed.
"You—you mean...... To follow the instructions of this natural, bug-filled mural and really give this witch human blood? Han Debang was so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground.
It is estimated that Han Debang, who is timid, is afraid that he will become that victim.
Everyone was silent, which made Han Debang even more afraid.
Bai Yunfei, who had been thinking for a long time, said: "How can there be so much human blood for her to drink? Giving her all of our blood is also a drop in the bucket. Besides, is it possible to feed her with human blood? It seems that we can only think of something else. ”
"Why don't you block the canal at the top of the hill one more time and let the water flow down for her to drink?" Lu Wuyang thought of a solution.
"Nope." Bai Yunfei decisively denied his idea:
"One is that we don't have any explosives, and the other is that since the mural shows drinking blood, I guess water can't solve the problem. Remember our experience in King Abraham's burial chamber, outside that gossip palace? If the statue of the snake servant ghost woman holding the bowl hadn't been injected with so much blood from human-faced monsters at that time, those golden-scaled snakes would not have swarmed at all, and they would not have allowed the stone turtles that activated the city gate mechanism to crawl. ”
Bai Yunfei said with a somewhat solemn expression: "I estimate that we must find a sufficient amount of blood, otherwise, we will never know what the purpose of such a painstaking arrangement is." ”
"This ......" everyone was speechless.
In the end, it was Bai Yunfei who broke the deadlock of silence:
"Judging from the mural, if you look at the raised eagle's beak cliff on the top of the cliff, I think it should be the ghost eagle in the painting. We should be below it, and the height is too high to see the hole in the eagle's beak that can bleed, so we still have to go up and explore it again, and that location should be on the other side of the rainforest that was convenient for Magnolia before, and we haven't been there yet, so we don't know what the situation is there. ”
"What about those purple stones?" Old Ghost Su's question is also everyone's concern.
"Ignore it for now, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's see what the situation is in the place where we haven't been in the rainforest on the top of the mountain." Bai Yunfei said as he turned around and climbed the steep slope.
From the mouth of the earthquake crack above the slope, bypassing the rainforest that Li Yulan had relieved, from the periphery of the rainforest to the side of the cliff, finally let everyone discover that there is a "big pit" between the rainforest and the edge of the cliff.
This "pit" is artificially chiseled, like a funnel into the ground at the top of the cliff, its interior and the "meat grinder" bronze winch under the Bagua diagram, inside is densely packed with bronze spiral inverted teeth, like there are countless criss-cross spiral ladders in it, the winch member above is coarse, and the gap between the component and the component is also large, the closer the gap between the lower components, the smaller the component, look
It's like the dense mouthparts in the mouth of a mutant giant beast.
This bronze winch is about six meters in diameter, the edge is level with the ground, and the center height of the funnel is the lowest.
"Speechless, this is really going to grind us up and feed the snake demon?" Han Debang pursed his lips.
"No, if it wasn't blocked by mud and sand or something, then it must be connected to the eagle's beak cliff inside, but the witch's head fell off, and the huge head was dozens of tons, and it was impossible for us to connect it again, so we still need to find materials and make a bloody trench, so that the blood flowing from the eagle's beak cliff will flow into the hole in the statue's neck."
"What happens when it flows in? The result? Lu Wuyang asked.
"I see that this statue stands alone on the river beach, only its tail is connected to the mountain, or the lower half of her body, and it is estimated that there is a passage leading to nowhere. So......" The rest of the words, Bai Yunfei didn't say anything more.
"Then her grandmother's, let's sand ridge (happily, Northeast dialect) just smash it at the root of her tail? What are you doing with this calf? Grind! Niu Gang glared at a pair of big bull's eyes, and the eighteen-pound sledgehammer in his hand smashed into the air, and the momentum exploded.
Su Lao Ghost was about to give Niu Gang a "burst chestnut" again, and Niu Gang dodged away.
"Your sister, it's as simple as your baby wants to drop, what else is it called? You smash it, if you don't believe it, just look at it, either we are in danger, or this mechanism is destroyed, don't even think about opening it. ”
"What Su Lao said is very true, you must not act entirely by violence. But how do you make such a huge statue? Cao Longxuan was deeply puzzled.
"I thought of a solution, but I don't know if the conditions can be met at the moment." Bai Yunfei said.
"How?" Cao Longxuan's eyes lit up, he now had deep trust in Bai Yunfei, and he was convinced that once he encountered an irresolvable contradiction, Bai Yunfei would always be able to find a way to solve it.
Bai Yunfei smiled, pointed to the huge bronze winch that was stuck below the ground in the edge of the cliff and said, "I think the ancients designed such a huge mechanism back then, the purpose was to make it easy for people to find a way to crack it, including those sheep-headed people, otherwise wouldn't it have been cracked a long time ago?" ”
He turned to everyone: "Don't say that I fed the blood of the eight of us to the snake demon, even if I can catch a few huge mutant creatures, I may not be able to activate the mechanism, and those mutant monsters are controlled by the sheep-headed people, and we can't get their blood." ”
Everyone looked at him in amazement, feeling that the current situation was too difficult.
"However, I thought of a huge source of blood, and it would not be a problem to fill this vast river beach into a river." Bai Yunfei said confidently.
"What source?" Everyone asked in unison.
"Those 'rats.'" Bai Yunfei was afraid that everyone didn't understand, so he added: "Shrew!" ”
Everyone is confused, you look at me, I look at it
You, I don't know why.
"How do you get their blood?" Cao Longxuan asked Bai Yunfei in surprise.
Bai Yunfei pointed to the huge bronze winch in front of him: "Twist it with a winch." ”
But ...... "Everyone couldn't figure out the north and the south."
"The key point is not in the 'rats', but in those ants who are like a black wind frenzy." Bai Yunfei said confidently: "As long as those ants get into this bronze winch, there will be a steady stream of 'mice' crawling inward, and blood will naturally be there." ”
"It's not as simple as you think, is it? Ants don't have much intelligence and act on instinct, but you have to have a reason to let them in, right? Li Yulan was puzzled.
Bai Yunfei replied with a smile: "Of course there is, food." ”
“......”
"In your opinion, capture a few animals, or mutant monsters, and throw them in this winch, as soon as those ants come, they can attract a large number of 'rats'?" Cao Longxuan was skeptical.
Bai Yunfei turned to ask Wang Ziming: "Brother Wang, what kind of food do ants like to eat the most?" ”
Before Wang Ziming could answer, Han Debang preemptively said: "Of course it's sweets, ants love sweets the most." I don't believe you put some dead insect carcasses on the edge of the ant nest, and then put this rice, and then put some sugar, you see which one has more ants, of course, sugar. ”
"Yes." Bai Yunfei continued: "So we used a lot of sugar to attract them, and basically succeeded. ”
"They're scary." Lu Wuyang's face was a little pale when he mentioned those terrible ants that could eat people.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, at that time the mountains were full of that kind of terrible ants, because of the strange wind that may be difficult to encounter in the valley, blowing away the dense fog and blocking some climatic substances in the valley, causing the ants that have gathered for a long time to form a terrible army, this is the same as the locust plague, usually there are locusts everywhere, but the small number has no effect at all, but once it forms a huge number, it will evolve into a plague. I believe that this kind of ant is the same, the frenzy period has passed, and there are those 'rats' to prey, and they are no longer so outrageous. So, as long as we can take advantage of it, our opportunity has come. Bai Yunfei explained.
"I'm very curious about how your brain grows, and I really want to cut it open to see if the matter in your brain is different from ours."
Cao Longxuan was very admired and curious about Bai Yunfei's endless whimsy, and what made him even more impressed was that the ideas that Bai Yunfei came up with every time were basically realized and solved big problems.
