Chapter 48 of Volume 5: The Secret Passage Mechanism

I looked at the coffin, it was so heavy, there should be momentum in this mechanism, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to open it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even if there is no power, there should be simple machines such as levers and moving pulleys that save effort.

After about a quarter of an hour, we finally found something. But when I look at this thing, my head grows. This turned out to be ...... Eight-sided exquisite!

The monkey said that a kind of mechanism, the ancient combination lock, can only be properly opened by pushing the boxes one by one according to its order. If there is a mistake, it will trigger a murderous mechanism.

Because combination locks have a disadvantage, even if you don't know the password, as long as you try enough times, you will definitely be able to open the combination lock. Because of this, both ancient and current combination locks have been limited in the number of inputs. Needless to say, think about what happens after you enter the wrong password three times in a row.

This thing is not as simple as freezing, if we don't do it, we will all die here.

However, one thing also makes me seriously doubt, that is, can this eight-sided exquisite dragon still work normally?

We've seen the mechanisms before, but they've all failed because they haven't been maintained for a long time!

These eight-sided exquisiteness are more delicate than those crossbow machines or something, and they are more likely to break.

If it's really broken, then won't we be able to get in?

Didn't the ancients think of this question? No way! So to speak. This secret passage should also have a mechanism that can be opened manually.

When I think of this "eight-sided exquisite" problem, everyone is in trouble, and it would be nice if the monkey was there.

I watched as the gaps between the bronzes were all rusty, and I guess it was hard to push the boxes.

"Or ...... Use violence to open the secret passage......" Lao An looked at us and suddenly said, "If you use directional blasting, you won't collapse the entire cave!" ”

"Still not good!" I said, "I don't know how long this hole is...... Who knows if it can bear it? ”

Directional blasting isn't shaking-free at all, it's just that the rubble it produces doesn't fly around.

Unless it's one of those top-notch demomen, maybe I'll consider giving them a try.

Mo Yiyuan also shook his head: "These things are very archaeological value, don't destroy them at will,...... Just now, too...... It's also a last resort......"

"Then I'll have to give this mechanism a try." I still vaguely remember the scene when the monkey calculated the eight-sided exquisiteness in the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, and later he explained to me that I still remember something, but this is not a number game, but a game of life!

After recalling it for a while, I said, "You all go away, I'll try ......."

Mo Yiyuan said: "It's better for me to come!" I'm wearing a bulletproof vest, and no matter how powerful the ancient weapons are, they shouldn't break through my bulletproof vest...... But if it's a trap, it's a bit of a hassle. ”

There is a point in that! We all knocked on the ground, and there was no response. If there are traps set underneath, there will be an echo.

I grabbed him and asked, "You're going to get this thing?" ”

He was stunned and shook his head decadently.

"Lend me your vest!" I said.

He did not hesitate and took off his bulletproof vest.

After I put it on, I walked to the front of the eight-sided delicate dragon and took two deep breaths.

After trying to remember the calculation the monkey told me again, I put my hand on the first box.

Although this thing is a combination lock. But the ancients also forgot their passwords, so they wrote them down in a very special way.

Knowing this way, you can calculate the password.

Click!

The first box was pushed in with the sound of my heartbeat, and the patina fell quickly.

Jingling...... I heard the sound of the ball falling inside.

Oh yes! As long as the first bar is pressed, there is no turning back!

Almost with my hands and feet in unison, I pushed all eighteen boxes in.

The last time I pushed in, my face was white.

There was a dead silence all around!

After a long time, nothing sounded, and there was no sound of gears or transmission chains when the mechanism rotated.

My ears are very good now, and I can hear even the slightest noise.

After all this time, nothing has made a sound, could it really be that this eight-sided exquisite dragon is broken?

Everyone looked at me, and they didn't dare to come out.

"It should be broken!" Mo Yiyuan broke the silence and said in a deep voice, "It's been in this place for so long...... If it's not bad, it's unjustifiable.

"Bang!" The sound of an object hitting the ground suddenly sounded.

My heart was pounding!

What about triggering the Kill Trap?

Li Yiqi, Lao An, Qian Xinyu and others' faces turned pale in an instant.

However, after the sound sounded, there was a dead silence in the cave.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, turned to look at the place where the sound came, and saw a stone slab fall from the wall and shatter on the ground!

And on the wall, a dark groove suddenly appeared!

There's something similar to the current lever inside...... It's also made of bronze, and there's a disc next to it!

Organ?

They looked at each other for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I looked at the disc, and it was supposed to be a mechanism to manually open the secret passage.

If this mechanism has power, why should I do it manually? How tiring is it?

I mixed the machine and there was a slight clatter in the cave...... It is the sound made by an ancient mechanism when it is running.

Now that I've found the opportunity, I'm not in a hurry. Look towards this dark slot.

Gears and shafts are also installed on the dark groove. I see, the slate that just fell down is also part of this mechanism.

It's just that after a long time, the slate shattered.

On the contrary, the gears and shafts made of bronze inside are still working.

After a while, the cave was quiet again, and there was still no change!

This time, it was our turn to make a mistake again.

I thought about it and could only press my hand on the disc.

Although these gears are still working, they have been so long that it seems that this mechanism has lost power.

In ancient times, the mechanism was driven by flowing water or quicksand, and once the river was diverted and the quicksand was used up, the mechanism could not work properly.

I tried to push the roulette wheel, but I was afraid that it would weigh more than 100 pounds!

Oh yes! This designer is really not a fuel-efficient lamp! With such a heavy mechanism, people who don't have two brushes really can't get in.

Heavy is heavy, but compared to pushing the coffin just now, it is light.

The disc turned four or five times, and finally there was a clatter sound from under the coffin, and the whole coffin moved two inches.

I'm ashamed, how many turns do I have to spin this wheel to push this mechanism away manually?
