Chapter 1412 Gravity Lock

Chapter 1412 Gravity Lock

"Bring it to me to see!"

While Xu Shaotang was staring at the box, Tantai Jingming squatted beside Xu Shaotang, took the box from Xu Shaotang's hand, and said: "I want to see what treasure is in this box! See if I can hold it I got the loss of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!"

Hearing Tantai Jingming's words, Xu Shaotang couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "It's impossible to compare!"

Just kidding, the treasures in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor not only have important economic value, but also have some very large cultural value.

Because Qin Shihuang once had the "feat" of burning books and burying Confucianism, many precious historical materials of that era were lost. Even if there were some, they were incomplete or unreliable. A Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang can completely let those archaeological Experts have researched a lot of valuable historical materials, and this kind of loss should not be made up for by the things in the box.

"You still know you can't compare!" Tantai Jingming said angrily: "If those big bosses ask you to pay for the loss, the Xu family probably won't be able to pay for it in a few lifetimes! I really don't know what's going on in your head What are you thinking about!"

Xu Shaotang smiled wryly and said, "I didn't know that mechanism would collapse the entire underground palace!"

To be honest, if he knew that touching this box would cause the entire underground palace to collapse, Xu Shaotang probably wouldn't touch this box.

But now everything has become an established fact, no matter how much he regrets it is useless, the most urgent thing is to see what is in the box, if there is nothing in the box, Xu Shaotang probably will hit the wall.

While talking to Xu Shaotang, Tantai Jingming carefully studied the box in her hand. After studying for a while, she said to Xu Shaotang very depressed: "This box can't be opened!"

"What?"

Xu Shaotang took the box from Tantai Jingming's cell phone, and after studying it carefully for a while, he said with a wry smile, "It seems...it really can't be opened..."

"Old Jiu!" Tantai Jingming looked at Lao Jiu who was still coughing, motioned Xu Shaotang to hand over the box to Lao Jiu, and said, "See if you can open this box."

What they want to know most now is what is inside this box, thinking that Lao Jiu, as a master tomb robber, will definitely know how to open this box.

Lao Jiu coughed twice more, then took the box Xu Shaotang handed over, touched it in his hand for a while, and shook it next to his ear for a while, not knowing what he was doing.

Following Lao Jiu's movements, his brows became heavier and heavier.

After more than 20 minutes, Lao Jiu raised his head slightly, and looked at Xu Shaotang with a bitter expression on his face.

"Can't open?"

Seeing Lao Jiu's face, Xu Shaotang felt a bad premonition.

Lao Jiu smiled wryly and nodded, "Not only can I not open it, but there are probably not many people in this world who can open this box."

"It's just a box, is it so difficult to open?" Xu Shaotang said in surprise.

Lao Jiu pointed to the box in his hand, and asked with a wry smile, "Do you know what lock this box uses?"

"I don't know!" Xu Shaotang said, "If I knew, I might have already opened this box."

He didn't know anything about these things, so how could he know what kind of lock the box used?But looking at Lao Jiu's appearance, this lock seems to have a lot of background?

"This is a gravity lock!" Lao Jiu sighed heavily, and said: "The manufacturing process of this kind of lock is very complicated, and the opening is also very complicated. Even the maker of this lock may find it difficult to open this box."

Hearing Lao Jiu's words, Tantai Jingming showed a look of surprise on his face, and asked: "Even the person who made this box is difficult to open? This lock is too amazing, right?"

"It's more than miraculous, it's absolutely perverted!" Lao Jiu handed the box back to Xu Shaotang, and said slowly: "Feel it carefully, when you shake the box, can you feel something? flow inside the box?"

Xu Shaotang took the box and turned it slightly in his hands. Following his movements, he could really feel something flowing inside the box.

Xu Shao raised his head curiously, and asked Lao Jiu, "What is this flowing thing?"

"Mercury!" Lao Jiu sighed softly, shook his head slightly and said, "This kind of gravity lock is filled with a lot of mercury, and the mercury will flow around in the combined lock cylinder, and only the mercury will flow in according to the weight required by the designer. Among several lock cylinders, the weight error must not exceed five grams, and the lock can be opened."

"Isn't this design too anti-human?" Xu Shaotang said with a wry smile: "Even the designer of this lock can't accurately flow mercury into several lock cylinders according to the designed amount by virtue of the touch?"

Lao Jiu nodded and said: "That's why I said that even the designer of this lock may not be able to open this box. In fact, this kind of lock was first used in ancient palaces. In order to preserve extremely important things, ancient emperors , such as Chuanguo Yuxi or Yizhao, etc., the craftsmen were ordered to design this kind of lock, but now, the design method of this kind of lock has been completely lost. I thought it was just an ancient legend, but I didn't expect this kind of lock to actually exist."

Of course, this kind of lock is not impossible to open. If someone is willing to try tens of thousands or even tens of millions of times, they may be able to open the box by accident. However, the chance of this is too small.

Looking at the box held in Xu Shaotang's hand, Lao Jiu didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

Xu Shaotang tried his best, even at the expense of destroying such an ancient miracle as the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but in the end all he got was a box that couldn't be opened.

Even though he was a tomb robber, he felt sorry for this eternal miracle. It was really not worth it to destroy the Mausoleum of the First Emperor for such a box.

Listening to Lao Jiu's words, Xu Shaotang and Tantai Jingming fell into thinking at the same time.

"Is it feasible to cut this box with a laser?" Tantai Jingming raised her head and asked expectantly.

Lao Jiu shook his head and said: "If this kind of lock is damaged by external force, the mechanism inside will be activated and the contents inside the box will be destroyed. Therefore, even if the box is cut open, the contents inside will not be preserved."

"This is really a dilemma!" Xu Shaotang frowned tightly, and slowly asked Lao Jiu: "Is there no other way to open this box?"

"No!" Lao Jiu nodded affirmatively and said, "Even if there is, I don't know, that's the only way I know."

"Bullied!"

Xu Shaotang looked at the box in his hand with a face full of speechlessness. He regretted it even more in his heart. After paying such a high price, what he got in the end was a box that couldn't be opened. Why bother?

Tantai Jingming looked at Xu Shaotang with a dark face, if this person was not Xu Shaotang, she really wanted to push this bastard to the ground and beat him up!
