Chapter 49 Chapter 48: A Strange Organ

Zhang Haike leaned his neck back, lowered his body cautiously, and put his head against the side of the bronze horse. After adjusting his movements, he breathed a sigh of relief and touched his waist with his backhand. There was a bottle of "stubble water" in his waist, which was a mixed type of strong acid. After he unscrewed it, he carefully dripped it on the back of the bronze horse. The strong acid immediately began to corrode the back of the copper horse, and quickly corroded a large area, exposing the inner structure. Zhang Haike put away the "stubble water", looked at the fire fold, and then went to the place where it melted out. After a look, the mechanism inside was really complicated. He could see hundreds of silk threads, all of which were stretched tightly. , There is a small disc on the wire, filled with small iron beads.

The small iron pillars have been very rusted, and they are extremely spotted, like the surface of the moon, but they can still be distinguished. These small iron beads were originally engraved with complicated patterns. "What institution?" asked a person here. "The variant of the eighteen strings is much more complicated." Zhang Haike said, the balancer invented by Lu Ban is installed under this disk. If there is a slight vibration, the disk will tilt, but as long as the weight of the disk changes, the small iron The ball rolls out of the disc, and the disc immediately regains its balance.The small iron ball rolled out of the disc hits the iron wire below, bounces all the way, and each wire will trigger a mechanism. There are hundreds of wires here, and different wires that bounce all the way can trigger seven or eight different mechanisms at a time. organ.

Afterwards, the disc will immediately restore its balance, that is to say, it can be triggered multiple times, and the mechanism of each trigger is random, and there is no rule to follow at all. In the past, such mechanism was said to be invented by Lu Ban, and there were 18 kinds of changes. Later generations continued to increase the size. Zhang Haike saw the most once, with 72 silk threads. The role of the eight strings, but this is the first time he has seen hundreds of silk threads like this. Zhang Haike heaved a sigh of relief, he was glad that he took this thing seriously and used the most troublesome but safest way.He turned around and asked the person who pulled the steel cable if he could hold on. After getting an affirmative answer, he held his breath, turned on the fire again, took out a magnet from the treasure bag and put it on the top of the disc, and the small iron ball All are attracted to the magnet.

He carefully removed the magnet again, put it in his bag, turned over and got off the steel wire, and landed on the ground next to the bronze horse. The moment he landed, he saw that the disc felt a vibration instantly, and tilted a bit. But because there is no iron ball in it, nothing happened. Several people were silent for a while, and they were all relieved when they found that nothing was triggered. One of them said, "It's easy." Zhang Haike looked at the iron beads on the magnet, he was noncommittal, he was not proficient in dealing with this kind of mechanism, especially in real ancient tombs, but it seemed that this time he won the bet.

After they packed up their things and prepared to continue searching, one of them asked, "Do you want to call Poker Bottle down?" "What are you calling him for? He can't do anything, and he still wants us to take care of him. If he doesn't want to see us, let him stay on top." Another person said, "Let's finish things quickly first." Zhang Haike thought for a while and nodded. He didn't think it was cumbersome, but he felt that this was only the first mechanism he saw in the tomb, and it was already so complicated and sharp. At this time, I feel that it is too early to be sure and win, and there is still a lot of convenience in the stuffy oil bottle.

When several people approached the bronze horse, it was the first time they saw the "Eighteen Strings" mechanism trap. They all looked into the melted hole, and they all showed dumbfounded expressions when they saw the dense silk threads inside.Zhang Haike couldn't help being a little proud, he cracked this thing, there were no flaws at all, and he still had a sense of accomplishment.At this moment, a person suddenly asked him: "There are hundreds of wires here, are there hundreds of mechanisms installed in this room?" "What's wrong?" Zhang Haike asked.

The person who spoke lit a tomb and threw it around the tomb, and soon the corners of the tomb were illuminated. He said, "How can there be so much space here?" Zhang Haike turned his head and looked around the tomb. Indeed, most of the organs in the ancient tomb are huge in size. The reason why it is called "Eighteen Strings" is because the eighteen types of organs are already a size limit.Most of the various mechanisms added by later generations are still variants of these eighteen types. For example, if a string can trigger quicksand, then it can also produce variants of various mechanisms such as poisonous smoke and mercury, but if it is so There are so many silk threads, which obviously cannot be explained by simple variants.

"What do you think?" Zhang Haike realized that the other party was right. "This doesn't seem to activate hundreds of different mechanisms. I think these hundreds of silk threads are pulling the same mechanism, but activating different parts of this mechanism." The humane said, "It's like the wires of foreigners Like a wooden figure, the silk thread affects different parts of the same body, so that the problem of space can be explained.” "You mean, after we trigger this mechanism, a wooden man may appear?" "I'm just saying a metaphor." The man said, "But I think the possible consequences of touching this mechanism are different from what we imagined. Maybe this is not an offensive mechanism."

"What would that be?" Zhang Haike asked. "I don't know, we won't know until the trigger is triggered." The man touched the four legs of the horse, "All the silk threads are connected to the ground through these four legs, and then radiate out underground, connecting to the mechanism of this room. The mechanism room In the area just below us, the strength of the iron pillar hitting the silk thread is not strong, so the mechanism of this transmission will inevitably be enlarged in the mechanism room below. Let’s simulate the construction process of this room now and see how we Can you go down to the mechanism room, so that you will be more sure about this room."

After the man finished speaking, Zhang Haike felt something was wrong. He looked at the robbery cave they came down from and said, "When we opened the wall, we didn't see any traps in the wall, so these hundreds of changes should all be at the bottom of our feet." , It is too dangerous for us to dig the burglary hole in the tomb now, we have to go out and dig down from the soil layer again, which will take a long time, if there is a green stone under the tomb, we may not be able to open it for a week. " Several people were a little discouraged at once, and one of them said: "Analyze and analyze, are we too careful? In this way, let's go to the robbery cave, throw a small stone to hit these silk threads, and see what the result will be. That’s fine, we’ll have to scare ourselves to death when we continue the discussion.”

Zhang Haike listened, and felt that this matter was feasible. They had indeed been delayed in this tomb for too long, and they had to make some progress. The person who said he was going to go up to the robbery cave lit a fire and put it in the gap of the bronze horse, and several Zhang family children went into the robbery cave instead.Poker Bottle was right at the corner of the robbery cave, 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 it was embarrassing. The burning time of the fire zip was not long. After everyone came up, Zhang Haike took out an iron ball from the bag, buckled it with his finger, flicked his thumb, and flicked the iron ball to the place where the fire zip glowed. The iron ball swept across the flames and hit the inside of the bronze horse. A series of slight impact sounds were heard. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the mechanism to move. The Zhang family's hearing is excellent. After holding their breath, everyone heard a series of rustling sounds. The sound was so small that it was impossible to tell where it came from. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to hear it. Three to five seconds later, suddenly, the entire tomb was shaken, and everyone saw that the blue bricks on the ground had changed. There are blue bricks recessed in four places on the ground. Zhang Haike threw out the fire folder at the fastest speed, and under the transmission of the fire light, they found that there was a downward passage on the ground. The passage should be very steep, more like a deep well leading underground. "I've never seen it before, I've never heard of it, what kind of place is this?" Zhang Haike said to himself, "What kind of institution is this?"
