Chapter 532 Mechanism!
The three of them jumped from the rocks into the water one after another, ignoring the cold and biting water, and stared blankly at what was directly above their heads. .
It was an indescribable object, its texture seemed to be bronze, and at first glance, it looked like something similar to a hornet's nest.
In addition to the ancient, tight and strange patterns, the irregular surface also has countless dense holes.
It looks like a miniature version of the huge meteor jade deep underground in the Western Queen Mother Kingdom.
However, unlike meteorite, the holes on this bronze block are not for people to pass through.
Countless chains extend from the holes and lead to the small holes in the underwater stone wall, linking to countless mechanical expansion mechanisms hidden in the depths.
Several chains extending from the iron plate in the distant stone chamber are also linked to the five holes directly below this strange lair.
"Oh my god, this is a huge, ancient cryptographic module!"
Wu Xie couldn't believe his eyes, wiped them again and again, and exclaimed.
It is hard to imagine that in ancient China, there would be such mature modular technology.
In many monuments, the wisdom of the ancients often makes modern people who claim to be in the technological age feel ashamed.
"These iron chains extending from the bearing affect the mechanism inside. Only one iron chain starts the correct decoding, and the others represent errors."
"Once you touch the wrong chain, I don't need to say more about what will happen, right?"
Hu Ming squinted his eyes and looked at the five chains below under the light.
Theoretically, Hu Ming and the others only need to pull aside all five main chains and many sub-chains.
But the problem is that the Zhang family are not fools.
The wrong chain must be linked to a deadly hidden weapon.
According to common sense, nothing lethal would be placed in this core area, even if it is to protect the core of the mechanism module.
At most, the crazy stick hanging in the stone room in front is blocked by the range, or corroded by some kind of poisonous gas. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to reach here.
Here comes the problem.
Since the iron plate can be easily pried open, allowing outsiders to come here, at the same time, there are also vicious red-haired armadillos, cockscomb snakes, and clay pots with unknown purposes covering the ground.
All this shows that there must be some deadly things placed here, and it would not be a pity to destroy this place.
Never doubt how ruthless an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years can do to protect a certain secret!
"Yes, general passwords now have error restrictions. Only if the number of errors exceeds a certain number will there be a punishment procedure, but the ancients were not so kind."
"Judging from the current situation, this place has not been used that frequently, so if you make a mistake, the result will be fatal."
"We have to know exactly which one it is before we can pull it."
After thinking for a moment, Wu Xie often sighed.
This is very embarrassing. It just so happens that the three of them don't know the correct combination of opening passwords. This is also the purpose of their coming here.
"What are you doing, Dr. Xiaosanye? You are playing with your brain. This is your specialty, right?"
"I think you can open a class called "Academic Grave Robbery" in Laojiumen and let you give a few lectures."
Even in this situation, Xiaohua still maintains an optimistic attitude and is still in the mood to joke.
"Go away, I have a headache!"
Wu Xie rolled his eyes and cursed angrily with a smile.
"I think you may have forgotten one thing"
At this moment, Hu Ming smiled, took off his coat, wearing only close-fitting short sleeves, took off his useless tool backpack, and moved his body.
"What's the meaning?"
The two of them were stunned and looked at Hu Ming curiously.
They are not bragging. In this situation, no one would dare to touch any of the chains here without accurate information.
Use your life as a bet to bet on a probability to open the mechanism. This thing is more exciting than the Hungry Country Roulette game!
In the Hungry Country Roulette game, there is only a 1 in 6 chance of death.
And what about here?
Wu Xie roughly counted and found that in addition to the five main chains, there were thirty-one sub-chains. Who knows how many permutations and combinations there are?
Touching these things rashly and rounding them off is almost a sure-fire situation.
Of course, Hu Ming might be able to escape with his life due to the mystery of his methods, but he and Xiao Hua were doomed.
"I thought about it for a moment. It seems that I have never introduced myself to you in detail, right?"
Hu Ming shrugged his shoulders and suddenly made a tower under his feet, exploding large splashes in the water at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
The whole person soared into the sky, and with a slight leverage on the rock wall, he jumped up to the bronze module in mid-air.
His hands and feet moved continuously on the bronze module. His movements were sharper and more precise than the most agile cats. In the blink of an eye, he had climbed to the top of the bronze module.
During this period, Hu Ming did not touch any of the chains and made almost no sound.
"Do you know the origin of Mechanism?"
After doing all this, Hu Ming squatted on the top of the bronze block, clasped his knuckles lightly, and made a crisp knocking sound.
"I know, some people think that the art of mechanism was developed by the Mohists during the Warring States Period."
"Among them, at the end of the Warring States Period, when the Mohist school was in extreme decline, there was an astonishing talent who combined the essence of the overbearing machine arts of the Mohists and Gongshu family to create the legendary "Thousand Machine Machines Art." "
"It's a pity that this amazing work has not been handed down...wait a minute!"
Wu Xie subconsciously talked about the origin of the mechanism technique. Suddenly, his pupils shrank and he remembered something.
Wu Sansheng seemed to have told him a story about Hu Ming!
"I know all the special skills related to the Mo family! I also dabble in the "Thousand Machines Technique"! "
Hu Ming grinned and moved his hands faster.
Close your eyes and concentrate on listening.
Hu Ming carefully analyzed the information brought back from the sound coming from inside the bronze module, and fully analyzed the many structural combinations.
Seeing this scene, Wu Xie and Xiaohua subconsciously closed their mouths, hiding their surprise and shock in their hearts, and quietly watched Hu Ming operate.
For a moment, there was no sound except the sound of Hu Ming tapping the bronze module.
A full quarter of an hour later, Hu Ming opened his eyes and smiled confidently.
