Chapter 104: Li Hao's secret room
As soon as Li Hao entered the house, Lu Zhi greeted him and saluted: "Young master, you are back." β
Li Hao hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lu, I don't know what to do with me?" β
Lu Zhi looked around vigilantly, although it was in Li Hao's house, he still felt very uneasy, and said in a low voice: "Young master, let's go down and talk about it." β
Li Hao immediately understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Go." β
So Li Hao took the lead and walked to the ice cellar, his family's ice cellar is a basement of more than forty square meters, in fact, it is next to the secret room, and the entrance to the secret room is also here.
Since the secret room is called the secret room, the entrance must be secret, if it is in modern times, there is electricity as the power, and it is not a problem to do any mechanism, but in Datang, it is really difficult, and the mechanism in the novel that opens the door as soon as the oil lamp turns cannot exist at all.
Li Hao's entrance to the secret room was something he had put a lot of thought into, the ice cellar was full of huge ice cubes, although they were carrying lanterns, but the visibility was still not high, only to see a three-meter-high wooden ladder placed on the ice pile in front of him, it was normal to have a wooden ladder, because it was necessary to take ice and stack ice cubes.
Li Hao took the wooden ladder, came to the ice pile on the left-hand side, leaned the wooden ladder on the ice pile, climbed the ice pile first, and stood on the top of the ice pile, he had to bow down, because the top was the roof.
The roof was made of coffered ceilings, each of which was a separate slab, and the entrance to the chamber was in these ceilings.
Li Hao walked under a ceiling close to the wall, toggled the buckles at the four corners, and then pushed the stone slab up with his hand, and the entrance to the secret room appeared.
"Come on!" Li Hao beckoned downward, Lu Yun stepped forward with an arrow, borrowed strength on the ice once, flew up directly, and then looked at Li Hao with a pretended face, Li Hao could only roll his eyes at him.
"Good skills!" Seeing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but praise, and then began to clumsily climb the wooden ladder.
Drill into the entrance of the secret room, only to see a rectangular passage, about 80 centimeters wide, about one meter eight, just enough for people to walk, go two meters forward, is a door, this is a soundproof door, do not need to lock, two meters ahead, another soundproof door, two meters and another soundproof door, a total of three soundproof doors.
After passing through the last soundproof door, the passage came to an end, followed by an iron escalator ladder that went vertically down, and after the three of them got down the ladder, an iron door in front of them, and when they opened the iron door, they suddenly opened up in front of them.
I saw a huge underground secret room, one acre of land, and four huge pillars supported the entire secret room, which looked very much like the feeling of an underground parking lot, this was Li Hao's No. 1 secret room.
It stands to reason that the underground secret room should be very dark, but it is quite bright here, at least you can see anything clearly, just because there is sunlight shining down in the middle of the secret room, walk to the middle of the secret room, look up, it is a blue sky, a faint white cloud.
That's right, this is Li Hao's design, the underground secret room leads to the ground, and it will never be discovered, because this is his ancient and modern combination of villa building, more than ten meters high, this three-meter square mouth leads directly to the roof, that is absolutely no one can reach the place, naturally will not be discovered, besides, there are no planes and aerial photography in this era, so there is no need to be afraid at all, and at the same time it also solves the problem of basement ventilation, Li Hao sometimes can't help but want to praise himself, and then point to himself in the mirror and say:" Even if you're so handsome, you're still so smart, how can others live! β
At this point, Li Hao finally stopped, and then asked Lu Zhi: "The first batch of repeaters has been made?" β
"Master Hui, yes." Lu Zhi nodded excitedly and said, "Not only that, you asked me to design a detachable bed crossbow, and a few of our old guys have been working together for a long time to finally make one." β
"Seriously!" Li Hao was extremely excited when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "In which secret room?" β
Lu Zhidao: "In the second secret room." β
"Let's go!" Li Hao didn't say a word, walked to the other end of the No. 1 secret room, only to see a large stone statue erected here, four meters high, the top of the stone statue is directly connected to the roof, take a closer look, this is actually Li Shimin's stone statue, Li Shimin stone statue sitting on a boulder, holding a sword out of the sheath and looking ahead, this stone statue is carved lifelike, you can vaguely see a little lonely look on Li Shimin's face.
Next to the stone statue stands a stele, on which are engraved two lines of big characters: "The wise god Wutian Khan, drawing his sword and looking around, he is at a loss." β
These two sentences are coupled with the stone statue of Li Shimin, don't pretend to be too forced, there should be music here "How invincible is, how lonely......
Why did Li Hao erect a statue of Li Shimin here, and carved such a sycophant, there are three uses, first, to deceive those craftsmen who work for themselves, he told those craftsmen except Lu Zhi that they were secretly ordered by the emperor to secretly manufacture weapons, and as soon as those craftsmen heard that they were serving the country, and there were high salaries to take, they naturally came in a hurry, and they would do a good job of secrecy, after all, Li Hao told them that this was a secret decree, and they were found to be killed. And this stone statue of Li Shimin is the best cover to deceive them.
Second, if one day his secret room was discovered, Li Shimin was furious, and then found that Li Hao had set up a stone statue of the wise god Wutian Khan here, and carved such a sycophant on the stone tablet, it is estimated that he would be in a better mood, at least he could change Ling Chi to a knife and chop his head.
Third, the entrance to the next chamber is under the statue.
The base of the stone statue is made of pure iron, this base alone is one meter eight high, Li Hao took a wooden ladder, rested on the base, climbed the iron base, only to see the crotch of Li Shimin's stone statue, there is a very small button, of course, this button is not on the stone statue, but on the steel base, Li Hao pressed the button...... Nothing happened.
This is not a mechanism switch, this is just a buckle, seeing that Li Hao pressed the buckle, Lu Zhi and Lu Yun walked to an iron pillar together, passed an iron pipe through the iron pillar, and then pushed the steel pipe to turn the iron pillar, and the stone statue suddenly moved, slowly sinking to the ground.
It turns out that the iron pillar is the entrance mechanism, and this entrance mechanism is also Li Hao worked hard to come up with, first of all, the function of the buckle button is to lock the stone statue, as long as the button is not pressed, no one can turn the iron pillar, even if the steel pipe is twisted, it is useless, secondly, this button is on the base of more than one person, ordinary people can't see it, I believe that no one dares to offend Li Shimin's stone statue, and this button is still in Li Shimin's crotch, unless Li Shimin comes in person, no one will definitely find out.
Lu Zhi pushed the iron pipe and said excitedly: "Young master, are you still satisfied with these mechanisms that the villain made for you?" β
"That's pretty satisfying." Li Hao smiled proudly and said, "Actually, the main thing is that I design well, who made me a genius, hahahaha......"
When the one-meter-eight iron base sinks to the ground, you will find that the stone statue of Li Shimin has a ceiling on top of its head, yes, it is still the same old routine, and the entrance is still on the ceiling, which is similar to just now.
Li Hao changed a long bamboo ladder and entered the entrance, this time there was only one iron door soundproofing, and through the iron door there was a downward vertical iron ladder, and after coming down from the iron ladder, he entered the No. 2 secret room.
The layout of the No. 2 secret room and the No. 1 secret room is similar, the middle is also open-air, and there is a large pool under the huge skylight, which is used to prevent rain and receive water, which happens to alleviate the water problem in the secret room, killing two birds with one stone.
As soon as Li Hao and the others came down from the iron ladder, a group of craftsmen surrounded them and saluted Li Hao excitedly, a total of twelve people.
Li Hao smiled and arched his hand at them: "For the sake of Datang, everyone has worked hard." β
All the craftsmen dodged one after another, saying that they couldn't afford his big gift, everyone greeted each other, and Lu Zhi took Li Hao to see their works, first of all, there are thirty repeaters, these thirty crossbows are much larger than the crossbows that Li Hao brought from the future world, because of the material problem, the crossbow arms of these crossbows must be long enough to reach the power of their future crossbows, and the best place for a crossbow to the material is the crossbow arm, just these thirty crossbow arms, it cost Li Hao more than 3,000 crossbows.
There is a difference between these repeaters and Li Hao's repeaters, that is, the crossbow arms can be disassembled, which completely solves the problem of inconvenience to carry, which is very spiritual.
Thirty crossbows are neatly arranged in three rows, flanked by a pile of arrows and spare arrow boxes, and the most troublesome part of this crossbow is that you have to use custom-made arrows.
Li Hao picked up a repeater and looked at it for a long time, then picked up a box of arrows and tried to shoot more than a dozen rounds, the continuous shooting effect was very good, and the power was also very strong, he was very satisfied, put the crossbow back in place, and asked: "How many arrows are there?" β
Lu Zhi replied: "Ten thousand." β
"Too little." Li Hao said lightly, "If you don't have enough money, you can find Du Hong, whether it's a crossbow or an arrow, you can make as much as you want." β
"Yes." Lu Zhi gave up his hand.
Li Hao continued to move forward, and finally saw the exciting bed crossbow, Li Hao has done research on ancient weapons, the bed crossbow is definitely the king of weapons in ancient wars, but the bed crossbow also has a more fatal weakness, that is, it is too bulky, it is okay to defend the city, if you want to use it for siege, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources.
And the bed crossbow in front of him made Li Hao very satisfied, because there are wheels under the base of this bed crossbow, and this bed crossbow can be disassembled, as long as the crossbow arm and crossbow frame are removed, only the bed base is left, and this bed base is basically a large trolley, although it is a bit heavy, four or five people can barely push it, Li Hao looked at the wheel of the bed crossbow, and began to think in his heart, it is time to work on the wheel, at least make the friction resistance of the wheel a little less, so that the bed crossbow will be more convenient and faster to transport.
To tell the truth, when he first built these crossbows, Li Hao was still very apprehensive in his heart, privately making weapons, and treating them as complicity, that would punish the Nine Clans.
However, when looking at this bed crossbow, he thought about it a lot, and he finally figured it out, what about the Jiu clan, his purpose is to create his own strength, a force that can compete with the strength of the whole country, he doesn't plan to rebel and claim the emperor, because being the emperor is not fun at all, too tired, and boring, he just wants to protect himself, of course, there is a more important point, he has to beware of a person, Wu Meiniang, he has a strong premonition, Wu Meiniang will eventually sit on the throne of the emperor, and at that time, He would never be her friend, because he didn't like the female emperor.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this idea of mine is a bit naΓ―ve, and it is not ruled out that it was impulsive at the beginning, but now that the matter has come to this, he has no intention of stopping, he calmed down and thought for several days, and finally realized that as a traverser, he is destined not to be ordinary, and it is a matter of time before he steps into the court, but the water in the court is too muddy, and he must not break into it recklessly, and now he can only beat the side drum.
As for which path to take after entering the court, Li Hao had already thought about it in advance, it was nothing more than two roads, civil and military, and Li Hao almost did not hesitate to choose martial arts.
Why don't you choose the civil official road, because although the civil official rights are great, but all the rights are given by the emperor, in case Wu Zetian ascends the throne one day, no matter how powerful the civil official is, he is blind, and the road of military attachΓ© is different, even if Wu Zetian takes himself after coming to power, so what, Lao Tzu escaped from Chang'an, led his private soldiers and those armed forces who disobeyed Wu Zetian, with secret weapons, absolutely dare to just face it, even if it is just over, take a boat to the sea, find a desert island to establish a town, recuperate for a few years, let's fight again.
People have no long-term worries, since they have thought about the future road, Li Hao began to pave the way for the future, and the bed crossbow in front of him is a very good foreshadowing, although this thing is powerful, but he is not ready to keep it for himself, but to dedicate it to Li Shimin, because such a garbage thing is not qualified to become his hole card.
It's not enough to sacrifice this crossbow, he still has to find an official for himself, he doesn't need much of an official, he can show up in front of Li Shimin and the ministers from time to time, and he is familiar.
