Volume II, Xuanhai Immortal Mountain_Chapter 192, Partition Mechanism
The open cabin was dark, and several people next to him raised their flashlights to shine in, and everyone's eyes were focused on the cabin. This feat of finding the immortal mountain is all at this moment!
"How so?" The man who walked up first suddenly shouted in surprise, and the people around him also showed puzzled expressions.
"What's going on?" I asked curiously.
After pushing away the crowd, I looked into the cabin illuminated by the flashlight, and my face changed in an instant, and I frowned and said, "How come?" How could the cabin be empty? ”
Right before our eyes, the cabin that was supposed to hold the logbook and charts was empty! Jia Yi rushed into the cabin and looked around, and when he came out, he shook his head at Sha Lao. The first time I saw Sha Lao's face turned cold, his brows furrowed deeply, and his hand holding the cane trembled slightly. Then he whispered, "Look carefully." ”
Things were different from Sha Lao's thoughts, and all the plans could be said to revolve around finding the logbook in the cabin, if the logbook didn't have one. Then it is almost impossible for us to find the fairy mountain!
"It's impossible not to have it, you guys hurry up and find it!" I heard Uncle A shouting non-stop, but the cabin was just a little place, let alone looking for it, I could see it all at a glance.
"Xiaoshan, you can also help find it." Uncle Jia patted me on the shoulder and said, "The pressure on Sha Lao's back this time is not small, he has mobilized so many funds, and he has done so many big things, if you can't find Xianshan Yuan, it will be difficult to explain to the above." It is very likely that the people above will be attacked because of this and make them take the blame and resign. ”
Even if Uncle A doesn't say this kind of thing, I know it, and when I walk to the side of the cabin, I don't need to look for it inside, so many people are crowded in, even a blind person can touch the mechanism, and now I still haven't found the logbook, which means that there is definitely no mystery inside. Then there is no mystery inside, and the mystery should be outside the cabin.
I walked around the cabin and found nothing, when I was surprised to see some patterns carved into the back of the cabin. The back of the cabin should be attached to the outer enclosure of the hull itself, in other words, even if this side is engraved with a pattern, it should not be visible to outsiders. It's like a vase, there is no pattern carved on the outside, the pattern is actually carved inside the vase, unless it is broken, otherwise who can see the pattern inside the vase? Isn't that an extra move?
The same is true for this cabin, if these carved patterns are not for the outside to see, what are they for? I crouched down and looked closely, and the patterns looked very blurry, perhaps due to the corrosion of the seawater, but I could still see a reason for it.
The pattern looks like a blooming flower, and the parts of the flower have been corroded so that they are not visible, but the stretched branches are still clearly visible. I reached out and touched the surface of the cabin, and the surface of the cabin was still a little damp, and all the carved parts were sunken in, and there was no place to press it to the touch, and there was no way to hide the logbook.
But there must be a reason for this pattern, and at this time they shouted again, and said in a loud voice: "Even if you give me eight pieces of this cabin, you must find out the nautical chart for me!" ”
I touched my chin, and the fat man came over and asked, "What's going on?" Did you find anything? ”
"I'm wondering if this cabin is reinforced in three tiers, and to be honest, the bulkhead is thick and doesn't necessarily mean empty, and it may take some effort to unload eight pieces, but it may be rewarding. I want to try to see if the Five Elements Breath can probe this cabin, maybe there will be results. I whispered, "This cabin is a combination of gold and wood, so theoretically if you want to explore its interior, you have to use two breaths of gold and wood, I'll try it......"
The left and right hands pinched different techniques, and the breath in the dantian wandered between the five internal organs, and gradually fell to my left and right hands, and I was not sure about running the double line of breath at the same time, and the palms seemed to hold two completely different things.
"The left hand is gold, the right hand is ......wooden," he said silently, and slowly pressed his hand on the cabin, not thinking that this press would immediately make a discovery, and he could feel that there was something hidden in the partition of the cabin, about the size of a palm, but there was a circle of pipe-like things around this palm-sized thing. To explore with breath is to not see the essence of things, and can only feel the approximate shape and position of such things. I withdrew my hand, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Hey, don't look inside, the real treasure is in the partition!" ”
The voice spread, and the people around immediately gathered around, and Uncle Jia hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?" ”
I nodded, pointed to the center of the partition, the corroded flower pattern, and said, "Right here." ”
"Haha, it's good to have something hidden, immediately prepare cutting tools and cut the partition!" Uncle A immediately greeted me, but I pursed my lips, not quite understanding what the tube-like thing was.
"Are you ready?" The prototype's serrated knife began to cut the back of the cabin, sparks flew around, and I took a step back, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, since I chose to hide the logbook and the navigation map in such a hidden location, there was no reason why there were no protections! The protection measures mentioned here are something like a self-destruct mechanism, and in ancient water warfare, in order to prevent the arming map from being discovered by the other side, a self-destruct mechanism will be set up in the place where the arming map is placed. In order to avoid being discovered by the other side in the event of defeat. Although the Treading Wave is not a warship, the method seems to be universal.
"Wait......" The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, but as soon as I shouted, there was a burst of cheers from the people on the other side, and then a whole partition fell, but the cheers didn't last long before someone pointed to the ground and said, "Strange, what is this?" ”
Everyone looked down and saw some silver liquid flowing down the fault of the partition, and heard someone whisper, "This seems to be mercury, right?" ”
"Really?" Someone asked uncertainly.
"No, it's not mercury, it's burst silver! Hurry back, hurry! I stared at me and shouted loudly, and as soon as the voice came out, the liquid on the ground exploded immediately, instantly blowing away a few people who didn't have time to retreat or listen to me.
Blue flames burst out in front of me, and shards of metal fell from the air, and then I heard the whimpering of several people, and I turned my head to see that the partition that had been cut had been blown to pieces, and Jia Yi hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you find a logbook and a chart!" ”
Luo Qiong, who was next to him, waved his hand and patted the dust off his head, and asked strangely: "Brother Shan, what is this, why is there such a big movement?" ”
"This thing is called burst silver water, it is a kind of thing made by ancient alchemists, it was originally introduced to our country through foreign countries during the Yuan Dynasty, and was later transformed by our domestic alchemists and became what it is today. In the normal state, it looks like mercury, it is liquid, but it is very unstable, and it begins to react once it encounters a violent bump, and if it touches any trace of spark, it will explode, and the power of the explosion is determined by the amount of silver water. The flame is blue, and it's not a small thing. But it's the first time I've seen the real thing, and I read about the knowledge of bursting silver water from the book. ”
Sha Lao also led people over, and a group of people searched through the pile of metal that was already broken. There must be a mechanism for opening the dark layer of this partition, but apparently Koichi is too anxious, if I am given a little more time, maybe I can find the logbook when it is safe to do so.
After some searching, they finally found that several people had found the broken logbook from the rubble. But it was just a few pieces of paper, and now it's even more shredded as if it had been in a shredder.
"It's good now, the logbook is ruined." The fat man shrugged his shoulders and said.
"There you have, there you have it, I've found it here, it's a map, I've found a map!" At this moment, someone next to him shouted loudly, holding a large map that was still complete, and ran over with a smile.
Sha Lao took it and immediately unfolded it, and a detailed nautical chart appeared in front of us!
