Chapter Seventy-Three: The Problem
Lao Pan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he took out the notebook from his backpack, opened it and looked at the strange numbers again, nodded and said, "It should be, this is really a math problem with 5 out of 11." ”
Ah Sheng smiled bitterly: "These 11 choose 5, Lu Ye has played it I don't know how many times, it seems that it has not succeeded, it seems that we have something to do this time." ”
I carefully looked at the numbers in the notebook again, looked at the disc in front of me, and said to them: "Don't be discouraged, you can't run away anyway, let's study and study together, my magical uncle has eliminated dozens of combinations, which has cleared a lot of obstacles for us." ”
Ah Sheng looked at me and said, "Have you ever bought a lottery ticket?" ”
"Uh, I've bought it a few times, and the highest hit is more than five dollars, what's wrong?"
"Do you know how many permutations and combinations there are in 5 out of 11?"
"I haven't studied it, I don't usually buy that, it's too few...... How do you know? ”
"I don......'t know," Ah Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "But there must be at least hundreds of combinations, and if we try them one by one, I guess we will all starve to death here." ”
This is true, the environment we are in now may not have time for us to experiment one by one, and that kind of stupid method is indeed not suitable, but other than that, what else can be done?
I frowned and looked at the numbers again, but suddenly found something, and said to Ah Sheng: "No, where is this 11 out of 5, the beginning of the 9, it seems to be fixed, because the starting position is here, if you remove this, this has to be called 10 out of 4, right?" ”
Ah Sheng thought for a while and said, "It seems that this is really the case, I'll try it." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled the iron plate at the nine o'clock position, but he didn't move, and he didn't even shake it, he nodded and said, "Well, this should be right, it seems that the iron plate in this position is a base point, and it only needs to be placed in the other four positions, then this mechanism should be able to be opened." But why is the last number 19, according to the twelve hours, there should be a 20 in the direction of eight o'clock. ”
The two of us kept talking, and Lao Pan was listening and watching while studying silently, when he saw that we were confused, he said: "I think there are only two possibilities, one is that the direction of eight o'clock is a dead position, and it can't be crossed at all, and the other is that he may not have calculated it yet, and he will know it later." ”
I nodded and said, "Okay, then don't rub it off, let's do it right away, exclude what has been recorded in this book, the nine o'clock position does not move, try to pull the others first, and see what changes have been made." ”
Ansari watched from the side, never speaking, his eyes fixed on the iron plate, not knowing what he was thinking, when a few of us began to pull the iron plate, and he suddenly said, "Wait a minute." ”
Then he took out the scimitar again, but it was not unsheathed, and gently placed it in front of the slate, and nodded to us, saying, "All right, let's get started." ”
We couldn't help but glance at him, not knowing what he was doing with this knife, Ansari said lightly: "This is a golden knife handed down by the Manchu Great Shaman, which is said to be given by the Immortal Heaven to suppress evil spirits and drive away ghosts." ”
"This is the legendary Shaman's Golden Knife?" Ah Sheng couldn't help but look at the knife twice, his expression was slightly surprised, I also raised my head, but I glanced at Ansari a few times, thinking what the hell is this guy doing?
His chattering appearance always makes people's hearts a little hairy, but thinking of a series of strange things that happened before, now that we are studying 11 selections 5 on the altar of sacrificing immortality, it is indeed a bit of a feeling of death, and it is also appropriate to use his knife to calm down.
So we began to find a way to pull the iron plate, but the iron plate is actually rusty, just now those fire oil have been poured into the bottom shaft of the iron plate, these layers of iron plate are superimposed together, still rusty state, Ah Sheng poured half a pot of fire oil into it, fortunately, the wrench on the iron plate, that is, the protrusions on both sides, can also be separated, it took a long time to finally separate these layers of iron plate, squeak buttons, the combination lock is finally about to start.
In fact, on the whole, it didn't take much effort to open this iron plate, because before, my magical uncle had already played the game of 5 out of 11 here, otherwise if no one had touched it for decades or hundreds of years, I'm afraid it would be useless for us to pour a few more pots of oil.
But how did he succeed?
I was thinking in my head, Ah Sheng had already pulled the iron plates, but he was very cautious, first according to the first set of numbers in the notebook, to see if there was any reaction, because although this number should be wrong, but it is safe, otherwise there would be no subsequent dozens of attempts.
The iron plate began to turn, and after a light sound, the iron plate bloomed like a petal on the stone slab, and spread out like a playing card, pointing in several directions, according to the first set of numbers in the book: 9, 11, 12, 13, 15.
There should be a mechanism under this iron plate, and when the gap on the iron plate is aligned, it will make a soft clicking sound, as if it is stuck in something.
A few of us got up and took a slight step back, no one said a word, staring nervously, but after half a day, nothing happened, Lao Pan said: "It seems that it's okay to be wrong, but what to do next?" ”
I suddenly found that Lao Pan on this ancient password lock problem, he seems to rarely express his opinions, are asked Ah Sheng, and Ah Sheng is also very attentive, racking his brains to study, I can't help but secretly admire Lao Pan, he is very clear how to mobilize the enthusiasm of subordinates, develop the potential of subordinates, according to the different characteristics of each person to play their strengths, and he himself does not understand absolutely do not talk nonsense, do not disturb the subordinates' thinking.
This is a model of a good leader, and it is no wonder that these people are very loyal to him, and although they have come to such a place for some reason, they are all uncomplaining and dedicated.
Ah Sheng seemed to be prepared, and said without hesitation: "If you try one by one, it will definitely not work, it will be too wasteful of time, there are too many variables in this place, and we can't afford to delay." ”
"So what do you say you should do?" I also looked at Ah Sheng and asked, he took the notebook, and said: "In this way, give me a little time, I will study this thing first, in fact, there must be some clues in Lu Ye's this, he can't try them one by one for no reason, so, from him, he must be able to find out some kind of law, and shorten the range of combinations of this arrangement to the greatest extent." ”
Ah Sheng spoke, so he sat aside with the book and went to study, we didn't have anything to say, for this kind of problem, everyone is not a strong point, Zhang Ye and Da Kui are both big bosses, fighting fiercely, desperate, white knives in and red knives out, they are definitely good, Lao Pan looks like a gentleman, but the rivers and lakes in his bones can be seen, he is not good at these organs arithmetic.
So this usually doesn't seem to have much effect, like a weak scholar, just look at the water quality when it's okay, measure the mountain or something, and play a key role. The facts once again show that if you want to rob a tomb, you must also be educated.
As the saying goes, hooligans know martial arts, and no one can stop them, if this tomb robber is educated, he is not afraid to go all over the world.
Watching Ah Sheng pick up the pen intently, he began to write and calculate in another notebook, and drew a bunch of numbers and graphics, I can't understand it at all, to say that my cultural level, in fact, it is not high, if I hadn't been admitted to college that year, I wouldn't have gone around to send people small advertising business cards, and the result was inexplicably caused such a lot of trouble, so this knowledge can really change fate......
I fell into cranky thinking again, Lao Pan was squatting next to Ah Sheng and watching him calculate, Ansari never expressed any opinions, it is estimated that he also belongs to the kind of person who does not study well when he is in school, watching Ah Sheng write and draw there, frowning, but leaning down, looking carefully around the stone slab, as if trying to find some clues.
There was silence around, no one spoke, Da Kui couldn't stop probing our brains, it is estimated that he couldn't hold it back, and wanted to skip to see a lively scene, but he didn't dare to leave his post without permission, where he was itching, scratching his ears and cheeks, looking like lice on his body.
Time passed little by little, Ah Sheng had completely entered the state, frowning, his eyes almost didn't blink, his lips kept moving, as if he was muttering something, his hands were also moving slightly, and he was rustling on the notebook with things that looked like heavenly books.
His focused appearance is like our high school math teacher, I looked at it a few times and my head was big, I wanted to say a few words to someone, and when I saw that everyone was paying attention to their own affairs, no one seemed to pay attention to me, I turned my head in wonder, but I saw Fuyuko at a glance, he was still standing under the altar, looking at me at a loss, like a frightened child.
My heart suddenly moved, why don't I take this time to talk to Dongzi, maybe there will be some unexpected gains......
