Volume 8, Chapter 53: Functional Ciphers

In the absence of any evidence, everything is just speculation. According to the rules of "password", I looked around for a long time and did not find any special information. If you calculate according to the rules of Qimen Dunjia, but you can't start, these jars have been disrupted by us.

I suddenly remembered that in addition to this stone chamber, several other stone chambers also have the same jar, and since the jar here has been disrupted, what about the other altars?

If there are really any rules in this, then in those jars that have not been disrupted, some clues must be seen.

After thinking about it, he got up, took the maid by the hand, and walked to a stone room to our right.

Inside, it's still that kind of strange jar. But the order here is not disrupted.

"Zhuo," the girl looked at the jar in front of her, tilted her head sideways, and thoughtfully, "You say, could that person have come to make trouble on purpose?" He knew that the key to entering the Hidden Cloud Palace was in the order of these altars, so he deliberately came over to destroy it and disrupt the order, so that we couldn't see the rules inside? ”

I shook my head and said, "It seems to make some sense. But I prefer to believe that he stumbled by mistake. ”

"Why?"

I squatted on the ground, taking notes from jar to jar. Like the jars just now, there is not much difference in the size and shape of these jars, the difference is in the symbol on the belly of the altar.

Yaya also squatted down, holding a notebook and quickly recording the symbols on it.

I said, "Because, if he really wants to destroy the order of these jars, he can't use such a method at all." If he really wanted to destroy the order between these jars and just throw a grenade at him, the effect might be even better. He should have just stumbled into it. Moreover, I see that his purpose is not in these altars at all, but in you. ”

Yaya was a little puzzled, stuck out her little head from behind a jar, looked at me, and said, "Is it for me?" ”

"He hates you! I don't know what the reason is. ”

"He hates me? But I didn't offend him......" The girl lowered her head, and her pensive look was very cute.

"That's it! Don't think about it so much. I said, "Although this man is not very easy to deal with, he still can't beat me." Next time, if he really dares to reappear, I will definitely not spare him! ”

……

In the empty stone room, two bright lights kept flickering, back and forth, and after walking a few times, the symbols on the altar were recorded on the paper by me and Yaya.

When all these symbols appeared on the paper, I was immediately stunned, and Yaya glanced at the notebook and looked at me as well.

The arrangement of these jars seems to be scattered, and there seems to be some kind of pattern to follow.

On the whole, the jars here are arranged in a square shape. The jars are scattered like stars.

After counting carefully, the horizontal and vertical are all nine!

A number that is sensitive to me, I surprisingly remembered the wooden row game in Qimen Dunzhong.

But it is obvious that the wooden row game in Qimen Dunzhong is three times three, not nine times nine.

This massive square is divided into eighty-one pieces, each of which seems to have jars on it.

As you can see from the picture in the notebook, there are many places where there are obviously no jars.

Is this a numbers game with me?

If we look at these five different symbols as one to five, according to the specific operation between the five numbers, can we find the pattern between these jars?

Just looking at it, there seems to be no basis for it.

I wrote a lot of possibilities in my notebook, using these five numbers to add and subtract, to square, to open roots, to factorial, and even to determinant, matrix operations, I have thought about it.

Minutes and seconds passed, leaving only the rustle of my writing.

Yaya sat next to me, watching me calculate, and after a long time, she was also a little sleepy. He got up and moved his arms and began to wander around.

"Don't go far!" I continued to do my calculations, but I also noticed that she was gone.

"Oh......" she replied softly, and walked to the edge of the great square, looking at the four jars on the side, one by one.

Looking at the dense numbers, my head is a little dizzy, there is no condition at all, if it is calculated like this, I don't know what year and month it will be counted.

"Sildr, can you still do the math now?" The tip of the pen was still moving rapidly on the paper, and I: asked in my heart.

"It seems like I can still ......," said Cirdrone, "but I'm not as fast as I normally would!" ”

"Then help me calculate the damn stuff and figure out the patterns between them."

"Yes! But, master, I don't know how to find patterns between these symbols. ”

"I'll provide the method, you can help me calculate......"

"Good!"

With the help of Cial, the speed was much faster, and in just a few minutes, I tried more than 100 ways to crack it.

The pattern is still not found.

But I know that at such a speed, I can quickly find the pattern inside. Cracking a code is itself a matter of probability.

It's just that this password is much more complicated than the one you usually use.

I don't know when, Yaya came over again, bouncing around, and seemed to be very excited.

"Zhuo, I've found another pattern."

I was slightly stunned, stopped writing, looked up at her, and asked, "What new discoveries have you made?" ”

She took my hand, walked to the edge of the square, pointed to the jar and said, "Down here, there is a fixed pattern." It seems that the edges of this massive quadrilateral are fixed. Zhuo, look at ......" She picked up a jar on the ground, and a symbol identical to the altar appeared underneath.

Looking at this scene, I was stunned for a moment, could it be that the arrangement of these jars is not as complicated as I imagined, and the way they are arranged is just below them?

"Keep looking!" After saying this, I picked up another jar and looked at the bottom.

However, except for this row of jars on the rim, which has a symbol at the bottom, none of the other jars.

In this case, it is very likely that the symbols of these jars are a very important condition, a condition for cracking this complex code.

I worked with Yaya and turned all the jars upside down.

The four sides of the square do not have symbols underneath the jar. Of the four edges, only two have ...... Two sides perpendicular to each other.

I marked these two sides in my notebook.

Each symbol is also marked with the corresponding five numbers...... Five numbers from one to five.

Yaya also came over, looked at these strange numbers, and whispered: "Zhuo, you say, will the law of these numbers be the sum of the previous number and the number on the left?" ”

The reason why Yaya said this is because these two sides are very strange, one side is on top of the paper, and the other side is on the left.

If one of these numbers is equal to the left side of the number plus the number above it, it seems to explain why these two sides appear.

But there is also a problem, that is, how to deal with empty seats?

You know, in this huge square, there are some places where there are no jars.

Does this mean that in these positions where there are no jars, the number is equal to zero?

If it is really equal to zero, then Yaya's argument will not work, because two numbers greater than zero cannot be equal to zero no matter how they are added.

Or rather, I was wrong from the start. These five symbols represent not one to five, but zero to four? This seems to explain the appearance of empty spaces.

As soon as this idea came to mind, I asked Xierzhuo to replace the original one to five to zero to four, and recalculate the methods just now.

This amount of computation is quite large, and Hildra is not capable of completing such a huge computational task in a short period of time.

I can only follow Yaya's idea just now, using the number above and the number on the left.

Not to mention, just a few numbers really fit this pattern. The problem is that when the tenth number is calculated, this rule fails.

And, I was faced with another problem.

That is, if these five symbols represent one to five, then five plus five equals ten. What symbol should be used to represent this ten?

Two plus five equals seven, and what symbol is used to represent this seven? Four plus five equals nine, and what symbol is used to represent this nine?

If you make ten five, nine four, and eight three,

Seven for two, six for one, seems to make sense. But this "zero" cannot be explained.

Yaya looked at the dense calculations on the notebook, and also frowned, knowing that the method she had just done was wrong.

If a zero really represents an empty space, then how can a zero be created?

Could it be that there is not only addition but also subtraction? Subtracting two equal numbers naturally equals zero.

If that's the case, then the question arises again, when to use addition and when to subtract?

This is a very time-consuming problem.

I could only calculate slowly, slowly piecing it together.

Fortunately, now that the numbers in a row and column have been determined, it is undoubtedly more likely to calculate the other numbers than just now.

Yaya took a small notebook for herself, put it on her lap, and sat beside me silently calculating.

I'm calculating it myself, and so am Hildra calculating it.

In the huge stone room, there was only the sound of dense breathing and the rustle of pen falling on paper.

The results of Sildr's calculations came out, and the answer was no.

Even if you change one to five to zero to four, you still can't break the law here.

I'm still doing it, but this time subtraction is introduced, and when addition doesn't work, subtraction is used.

Such calculations are very long, very boring, and a lot of calculations. It can be increased as the data is calculated

I discovered the law of addition and subtraction!

The law of addition and subtraction here is not to use addition or subtraction every once in a while.

They don't have cycles at all.

"Zhuo...... I seem to see hope..."Yaya stopped writing, looking at me with beautiful eyes, she rubbed her hands, looking a little excited, "Where subtraction appears, it's a function!" They're on top of the function! When the value of this function is positive, use addition, and when the value of the function is less than zero, use subtraction. ”

As she spoke, she quickly wrote a complex function expression in her notebook.

I smiled, coughed, and wrote my own function expression.

It's a little different from hers, but after simplification, it's the same function.

She pouted dissatisfiedly, and said a little disappointedly: "I thought I could catch up with you, but I didn't expect it...... You got it out too......"

"You're still one step faster!" I stroked her hair and said softly, "Yaya, I really want to thank you for this." If you hadn't said to use the number on the left, it might have taken me a long time to unravel this complicated password. ”

She immediately became happy, took my hand, and said crisply: "Zhuo, then let's restore the password in here and see what the hell is in here?" ”

"Good!" I kissed her lightly on the forehead, smiled, and resumed my pen, quickly deducing all the other numbers on the paper.

The jar in this stone chamber is solved, but there are jars in other stone chambers.

We counted it, and there were nine stone chambers in total, and in each stone chamber, there was a ninety-nine phalanx.

After calculating the six phalanxes, we again had a problem.

In the other three stone chambers, the order of the altars has long been disrupted, and it is not known what their original order will be.

In addition, the fixed rows and columns are gone.

This is equivalent to saying that in these three phalanxes, it is basically impossible for me to calculate the position of the jar using the previous method.

But now, I can't give up. Now these laws prove that there is really something wrong with these jars.

"Zhuo, should we do it now?" Yaya looked at the jar that we had made a mess just now, and frowned slightly.

I looked down at the nine-number matrix on my notebook, and suddenly remembered a question, will these nine-number matrix satisfy the algorithm of the matrix?

After thinking about it, I decided to give it a try.

But if you really think of these nine squares as matrices, how do you calculate them?

On the scratch paper, there are a large number of matrix operations.

It's been hundreds of years, and I'm still using everything I learned.

After calculating dozens of sheets, I finally found the law of operation.

If these nine matrices are arranged according to the pattern of the wooden row in Qimen Dunzhong, then there will be a problem: taking the middle matrix as a point can produce four lines...... Plumb line, horizontal line, major diagonal, sub diagonal. Each of the four lines has three dots, corresponding to three different matrices. The sum of the two matrices is equal to the middle matrix!

In this way, three more missing matrices can be calculated immediately!

When I think about it, I'm a little excited.

But I had to hold back, because I didn't know if it was correct or not, and if it was, we would have to start all over again.

The re-coming here is not to recalculate, but to re-find the entrance to the Hidden Cloud Palace.
