Xu Yun smiled slightly: "The more Boss Lai says this, the more curious I become... Who would make Boss Lai think so highly of him?"
"This person is not simple." Lai Wen sighed: "I am confident that most people in the world cannot enter my collection room."
Xu Yun smiled and said nothing, looking at Lai Wen with such a meaningful look.
Lai Wen was startled for a moment. Faced with Xu Yun's unpredictable smile, he also raised the corner of his mouth: "I know what you want to say."
Xu Yun said calmly: "Boss Lai, I don't think I said anything."
"You don't need to say it, I know it too." Lai Wen said: "You are a master, you have your own self-confidence. If my yard can stop you, I don't believe it myself. But my collection room is not yours either.
It can be cracked haha.”
"So, Boss Lai's collection room must be very complicated." Xu Yun pretended to be curious: "I wonder if Boss Lai is willing to give me some advice?"
At this point, Lai Wen's interest arose again: "How much do you know about mechanism techniques?"
Xu Yun was startled. As an important part of ancient Chinese culture, some of these machine skills have been passed down to this day and have become the cornerstone of modern science and technology. However, many of them have been lost and lost in the vast history.
The mechanism sounds very simple, it is nothing more than mechanical equipment and traps set for catching birds and beasts, but it is actually profound and profound.
Dharma begins with technique, opportunity arises from the heart.
Among various mechanical devices, the mechanism is the most critical part. It is small and secretive, but it "moves the whole body" and controls the overall movement trend. It is definitely the supreme expression of a person's wisdom and creativity.
It is not difficult to understand that Lai Wen knows the art of mechanics, because his background forces him to know these things.
He is a local master, and to put it worse, he is a tomb robber!
If he didn't know a little bit of mechanism skills, I'm afraid his life would have been thrown into the ground long ago.
The custom of lavish burials has a long history in China. Princes and generals of all dynasties did not hesitate to spend manpower and financial resources to build mausoleums and underground palaces.
In order to prevent their tombs from being invaded by tomb robbers, the ancients would set up various defense mechanisms in the tombs to try to prevent tomb robbers from entering.
As a tomb robber, Lai Wen often broke into underground palaces when he was young. When faced with priceless treasures, he also faced hard-to-prevent traps.
Therefore, his understanding of mechanism art is very profound.
"There is a record in the historical records of the first emperor of Qin. When the first emperor came to the throne, he passed through and ruled Lishan. When he united the world, more than 700,000 people were sent to pass through the world.
The strange people migrated to Zang Manzhi. He ordered the craftsmen to make crossbow arrows and shoot at those who came close!" When Lai Wen said this, he was very proud, and this feeling of a cultured man made him very comfortable.
Although in essence, Lai Wen has nothing to do with cultural people.
"Boss Lai's collection room was designed based on the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?" Xu Yun was startled, this really surprised him.
"I'm not that capable. After all, there is no definite conclusion as to what the crossbows installed in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum are like." Lai Wen shook his head: "But judging from the crossbows unearthed from the Qin Terracotta Warriors Pit,
, its bow stem and crossbow arm are both long, and the material may be Nanshan Zhe, so it must be a powerful crossbow with good performance."
Xu Yun frowned, he really didn't understand this aspect.
Even if I know a little bit about it, I have seen it in some tomb-robbing novels, and it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.
Lai Wen is different. This guy really studies these things.
"According to my estimation, the range of this kind of crossbow is at least 800 meters, and the tension should exceed 700 to 800 kilograms. This kind of powerful crossbow cannot be opened by human arm strength alone, even for a master like you."
Wen smiled.
Xu Yun shook his head: "It's very difficult."
"So only the use of 'extension' can be effective." Lai Wen said seriously.
"What do you mean?" Xu Yun didn't understand.
"You just use your feet to step on the mechanism and launch it." Lai Wen said with some pride: "Connect the crossbows equipped with arrows one by one, and use the mechanism to fire in clusters or bursts, then you can achieve unmanned operation and self-alertness.
Purpose, this kind of mechanical crossbow arrow is actually a concealed crossbow."
Xu Yun nodded as if he understood.
"Because the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang contains a large number of rare treasures, in order to prevent theft, triggering weapons are placed inside the tomb doors, passageways, etc. Once someone enters the tomb, they will hit the trip wire connected to the crossbow trigger.
Then they were violently shot. This practice was inherited by later Han and Tang mausoleums, and was developed to install turbines in the coffins to shoot intruders."
When it comes to these things, Lai Wen is very familiar with them, because he has entered ancient tombs of various ages, large and small.
The theories he knows are all explored by himself in practice, making them more thorough.
"The so-called turbine is to install several things like our modern pulleys on the inner wall of the coffin. On one side of the pulley, a crossbow and a poisonous arrow are placed. A rope connects the crossbow and the coffin cover through the pulley. Once someone enters the underground palace to open the coffin, the rope will
Through the engine, the bows and crossbows were triggered to fire several arrows, killing anyone who touched the coffin."
Having said this, Lai Wen let out a long sigh.
Obviously, countless people have died like this in front of him.
Tomb robbing is an unethical thing, but the benefits are high. However, it also involves huge risks.
It would be understandable if the tomb robbers obtained the treasures only to hand them over to the state in order to compete with illegal groups for national wealth.
"Boss Lai must have seen these things with his own eyes." Xu Yun smiled slightly.
Lai Wen didn't say anything. Since he didn't deny it, it was considered acquiescence.
"You know, this kind of thing is really scary." Lai Wen smiled.
Xu Yun continued: "So, Boss Lai uses this kind of mechanism in your own collection room. Once someone wants to enter your collection room, once the various traps are triggered, they will have no way out and will definitely die."
Lai Wen was silent for a moment and nodded: "But I'm not that cruel."
"If Boss Lai says this, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to enter your collection room." Xu Yundao said: "I'm afraid it's difficult for anyone to sneak in, right?"
Lai Wen had a melancholy look on his face: "Yes, I have always been confident. No one knows more than me. Even a powerful machine master has no chance of breaking in. I'm afraid there is only one person in the world who can break in.
"
Xu Yun took a sip of water: "This will make me more curious about who can get in."
"The thief has no shadow." Lai Wen said calmly.
Xu Yun tried his best to look calm: "The Thief Wuying... Haha, legend has it that there is no place that can stop this man. As long as he wants to get something, he will definitely be able to get it."
Lai Wen nodded, he would not deny this.
"But..." Xu Yun said slowly: "The thief Wuying has already withdrawn from the world of thieves, right?"
"Indeed, he has left this world." Lai Wen said.
"Then no one in this world can enter Boss Lai's collection room." Xu Yun pretended to be surprised.
Lai Wen shook his head: "The thief Wuying is no longer around...but his daughter..."
"Are you saying that the person who came to steal things in your collection room is the daughter of the thief Wuying?" Although Xu Yun asked knowingly, he still had an exaggerated expression on his face and was very surprised: "He has a daughter?"
Xu Yun knows better than Lai Wen whether the thief Wu Ying has a daughter.
Lai Wen sighed: "I just confirmed it because the techniques are so similar..."
"Method?" Xu Yun was startled.
"The thief Wuying once patronized me." Lai Wen's eyes flashed coldly: "His methods are really amazing. I have never seen anyone with such ability."
