Chapter 2: Strange Organs

Zhang Haike leaned his neck back, carefully lowered his body, and his head was attached to the edge of the copper horse.

After adjusting his movements, he let out a breath and touched his waist with his backhand, and there was a bottle of "stubble water" in his waist, which was a mixed type of strong acid, and after he unscrewed it, it was carefully dripped on the back of the copper horse.

The strong acid immediately began to corrode the back of the copper horse, and soon corroded a large piece, revealing the structure inside.

Zhang Haike put away the "stubble water", looked at the fire fold and went to the place where it dissolved, and at a glance, sure enough, the machine inside was complicated, and there were hundreds of silk threads that he could see, all of which were very tight, and there was a small disc on the wire, which was full of small iron beads.

The small iron pillars were very rusty, extremely speckled, like the surface of the moon but still recognizable, and these small iron beads were originally engraved with cumbersome patterns.

"What is it?" asked one of the guys.

"The variant of the eighteen-string is a lot more complicated. Zhang Haike said, this disc is equipped with a balancer invented by Lu Ban, a little vibration, the disc will tilt, but as soon as the weight of the disc changes, the small iron ball rolls out of the disc, and the disc will immediately return to balance. The small iron ball that rolls out of the disc hits the wire below, bouncing all the way, each silk thread will trigger a trap, there are hundreds of silk threads here, and the silk threads that bounce and touch each way are different, and seven or eight different traps can be triggered at a time.

After that, the disc immediately rebalances, i.e., it can be triggered multiple times, each time with random triggers and no pattern at all.

In the past, such a mechanism was said to have been invented by Lu Ban, there were eighteen changes, and later generations continued to increase the weight, Zhang Haike had seen the most once, there were seventy-two silk threads, that mechanism was made by an old gentleman himself, used to demonstrate the role of eighteen strings, but like this hundreds of silk threads, he still saw it for the first time.

Zhang Haike let out a sigh of relief, he was glad that he took this thing seriously, and used the most troublesome but also the safest method. He turned around and asked the person pulling the tightrope if he could hold on, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he held his breath, lit the fire again, took out a magnet from the treasure bag and put it on top of the disc, and the small iron beads were all drawn to the magnet.

He carefully removed the magnet again, received it in his bag, then turned over and got off the wire, and fell to the ground next to the bronze horse, and the moment he landed, he saw that the disc instantly sensed a vibration and tilted it, but because there was no iron ball in it, nothing happened.

Several people were silent for a while, and they were all relieved to find that nothing really was triggered, and one of them said, "It's easy." ”

Zhang Haike looked at the iron beads on the magnet, noncommittal, he was not skilled in dealing with this kind of mechanism, especially in the real ancient tomb, but it seemed that this time he won the bet.

After they packed up their things and prepared to continue their search, one of them said, "Do you want to call the stuffy oil bottle down?"

"What do you tell him to do, he can't do anything, and he still wants us to take care of him, and he doesn't want to see us yet, let him stay on it." Another said, "Let's get things done first." ”

Zhang Haike thought about it and nodded, he didn't think that the stuffy oil bottle was cumbersome, but that this was just the first mechanism seen in the tomb, it was already so complicated and sharp, and the other situations in the tomb didn't know how to do it.

Several people approached the bronze horse, all of them saw the trap of the "Eighteen Strings" for the first time, and they all looked into the dissolved hole, and they all showed staggered expressions when they saw the dense silk threads inside. Zhang Haike couldn't help but feel a little proud, he cracked this thing, there was no mistake at all, and he still had a sense of accomplishment. At this time, a man suddenly asked him, "There are hundreds of lines here, is there hundreds of mechanisms in this room?"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Haike asked.

The speaker started a fire and threw it around the tomb, and soon all the corners of the tomb were illuminated, and he said, "How can there be so much space here?"

Zhang Haike turned his head to look around the tomb, indeed, most of the mechanisms in the ancient tomb are huge, why are they called "eighteen strings", because eighteen kinds of organs are already a limit in size. For example, if a string can trigger quicksand, then it can also give birth to variants of various mechanisms such as poisonous smoke and mercury, but if it is so many silk threads, it is obviously not a simple variant that can be explained.

"What do you think?" Zhang Haike realized that the other party was right.

"It doesn't seem to be activating hundreds of different mechanisms, I think these hundreds of threads are pulling the same mechanism, but activating different parts of the machine. "Just like the foreign man's marryman, the silk thread touches different parts of the same body, so as to explain the problem of space." ”

"You're saying that after we trigger this bracket, a wooden man might appear?"

"I'm just telling you a metaphor. "But I think the possible consequences of touching this mechanism are different from what we think, and maybe it's not an offensive mechanism." ”

"What could that be?" said Zhang Haike.

"I don't know, we'll have to wait until it's triggered. The man touched the horse's four legs, "All the silk threads are connected to the ground through these four legs, and then radiate out of the ground to connect the organs of this room." The organ room is in the area under us, and the force of the iron pillar hitting the silk thread is not large, so this kind of transmission mechanism will inevitably be enlarged in the organ room below. Let's simulate the construction process of this room and see if we can go down to the machine room, so that we can have more confidence in this room. ”

After the man finished speaking, Zhang Haike felt that something was wrong, he looked at the thief hole they came down and said: "When we opened the wall, we didn't see any mechanism in the wall, so these hundreds of changes should be all in the soles of our feet, we are now in the tomb to fight back against the thief hole is too dangerous, we have to go out and fight down from the soil layer again, it will take a long time, if there is a green rock under the tomb, we may not be able to open it for a week." ”

Several people were a little deflated, and one of them said: "Analyze and analyze, are we too careful, in this way, let's go to the thief's hole, throw a small stone to hit these silk threads, and see what the result will be, and if we continue to discuss, we have to scare ourselves to death." ”

Zhang Haike listened and felt that this thing was feasible, they had indeed been delayed in this tomb for too long, and they had to make some progress.

The people who said that they were going to go up to the cave started a fire and put it in the gap of the copper horse, and several children of the Zhang family turned on the hole. The stuffy oil bottle was at the turn of the thief hole, and he didn't make a sound, but obviously he heard all the words just now, and the children of the Zhang family suddenly felt that they had no face.

The burning time of the fire fold was not long, and after everyone came up, Zhang Haike took out an iron bead from the bag, buckled it with his fingers, and flicked his thumb to the place where the fire fold glowed.

As soon as the iron bead swept through the flames and entered the inside of the bronze horse, a series of slight crashing sounds were heard, and everyone held their breath and waited for the mechanism to move.

The Zhang family's hearing is excellent, and after holding their breath, everyone heard a series of rustling sounds, so small that it was impossible to tell where it came from, and ordinary people would definitely not be able to hear it.

Three to five seconds later, suddenly, the entire burial chamber shook, and everyone saw that the blue bricks on the ground had changed.

In four places on the ground, there are blue bricks recessed in.

Zhang Haike threw out the fire fold as fast as he could, and under the transmission of the fire, they found that a downward passage appeared on the ground.

The passage should be very steep and should be more like a deep well leading to the ground.

"I've never seen it, I've never heard of it, what kind of place is this?" Zhang Haike said to himself, "What kind of organ is this?"
