Chapter 135 Mechanism
Chen Ziyan ignored the dark glasses with a changing expression. After figuring this out, he walked straight ahead to see if there was any mystery in those wooden pillars.
Having received the inheritance from Miaoling, he is now proficient in the art of mechanism, but his art of mechanism is more about equipment, and he knows very little about this type of mechanism.
But after all, it is the same thing, and he can draw parallels to some extent, so he can still see some clues.
At least the dozens of wooden pillars placed on both sides of the stone chamber made Chen Ziyan feel that something was wrong.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong with it for a while, so he wanted to go over and take a closer look.
When Chen Ziyan walked to the wooden pillar, there was already a person standing here, it was Shirley Yang who was one step ahead of him.
"Miss Yang, have you discovered anything?" Chen Ziyan did not rush to study, but asked Shirley Yang first.
If there is one person among the three people in the original plot who has the highest talent for mechanisms, it is undoubtedly the descendant of the mountain-moving person in front of him.
Now the world has undergone changes that he could not predict, so Chen Ziyan does not know what the capabilities of the extremely wealthy Miss Yang are.
If it is an enhanced version, then there is really no chance that it can crack the mechanism here.
Shirley Yang didn’t know what Chen Ziyan was thinking, otherwise she would definitely give him a blank look. At this time, she was concentrating on studying the wooden pillar in front of her. After hearing Chen Ziyan’s words, she subconsciously replied:
"Not yet. These wooden pillars are solid and there should be no mechanisms inside."
"Solid...Is it possible that these wooden pillars themselves are mechanisms?"
Chen Ziyan felt that things here could never be based on common sense, so he raised such a possibility.
Only then did Shirley Yang react. She looked back at Chen Ziyan, then looked at the wooden pillars in front of her, looked up and down and said, "The wooden pillars here are all about three meters long, and there are dozens of them. If you really want to It's a mechanism, so how to activate it?"
She did not directly deny Chen Ziyan's speculation, but took this as a starting point and seriously considered the possibility.
But after much deliberation, she couldn't figure out how to activate this mechanism.
If a wooden pillar that is three meters high and more than 20 centimeters thick is really a mechanism, how tall should the person who turns it on be?
It’s not that it’s impossible, but to achieve this, the requirements for people are relatively high.
Chen Ziyan believed in his feelings, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation for the moment.
At this moment, Chen Ziyan glanced at the mummy on the top of the wooden pillar, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.
What if it was another way?
Thinking of this, he said to Shirley Yang: "Miss Yang, please give in, I have an idea that needs to be tested."
He also had a sudden idea and saw The mummy thought of a possibility, that is, they were mummies...or could these corpses hanging on wooden pillars be the key to unlocking the mechanism?
Although Shirley Yang didn't know what Chen Ziyan wanted to do, she didn't ask any more questions and stepped aside obediently, waiting for his experiment.
Seeing Shirley Yang step aside, Chen Ziyan took out a pair of gloves, came to the wooden pillar, jumped up suddenly, and climbed up in twos and twos.
And just when he reached the top, before he could untie the rope tied to the mummy, he heard a "click" and the wooden pillar he was on slowly moved towards the stone chamber. The center fell.
"This..." Seeing such a scene, Shirley Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, showing a bit of surprise.
She really didn't expect that Chen Ziyan would find a way just like that.
Of course, the movement here could not be hidden from others. When Chen Ziyan fell to the ground with the wooden pillar, others gathered around him.
Professor Chen looked at the floor tiles that had been turned over at the bottom of the wooden column, and said with a sudden look on his face: "So that's how it is, it's really wonderful!"
This wooden column is connected with the bottom stone tiles. It is a whole, and there is a special mechanism below. When the weight on the top of the wooden pillar reaches a certain standard, the wooden pillar will fall down.
In ancient times, the Gumo people used the corpses of slaves as weights to open the passage to the bottom when making sacrifices.
After these corpses are dried, the weight will naturally decrease, and the wooden pillars will return to their original shape.
After hearing Professor Chen’s narration, everyone else also figured out what was going on, and they were all amazed.
Such a project is not easy to build even today, but the ancients thousands of years ago were able to build it, and it is still usable today. It can be said that it is It's a miracle.
If the conditions didn’t allow it, Professor Chen would have wanted to move the entire stone chamber back!
Chen Ziyan had already turned over and got off the wooden pillar, suppressing the wooden pillar to prevent it from recovering, and looked at these people speechlessly: "Can you just sigh later? It's better to come up with a good way now. , can you fix this wooden pillar?”
This group of guys really has this problem. No matter what situation they encounter, as long as they see something of research value, they will no longer care about anything else.
For such a big person, I have been ignored all my life.
It’s simply too much!
"Oh!" Professor Chen also reacted, and quickly led the students over, and gathered around Chen Ziyan to figure out how to fix the wooden pillar.
There is no place to tie a rope in this stone room, especially the ground. I really can’t think of a suitable way for a while.
Shirley Yang thought for a while and said: "If we don't want to damage the grooves on the ground, we can only tie something of sufficient weight to the top of these wooden pillars, otherwise there is no good way."
But as soon as she said this, she was vetoed by Chen Ziyan: "If you want to press it firmly, you must at least weigh more than a hundred kilograms. There is definitely nothing here that can do this."
He knew his own weight, so he easily estimated the required weight.
"Then let's transport some bricks down from above?" said Chu Jian, who was following Professor Chen.
“This is a way, but it consumes too much time and energy.” Chen Ziyan shook his head directly: “Let’s not talk about the difficulty of transportation. Just the number of wooden pillars here, how many are needed to use them?”
This is no small project. It's just the three of them, so how long will it take to get it done?
Hearing what Chen Ziyan said, everyone subconsciously looked at the remaining dozens of wooden pillars and felt that this was indeed true.
One requires a hundred kilograms of foundation. If you want to get all the wooden pillars here, it will take several thousand kilograms, so don't even think about it.
"It seems to me that these wooden pillars are facing each other. Can we knock down two of them at the same time, and then fix them together to restrain each other?" Shirley Yang looked at Shi The position of the wooden pillars in the interior suggests another way.
