"Hello, everyone. Yanshi Mountain is ahead."
The beautiful female tour guide transmits her sweet voice to every tourist's ears through wireless connection.
"Why is it called Yanshi Mountain? It's because the remains of a mechanical civilization were discovered here. Yanshi was the first mechanical engineer who made robots in ancient times..."
The female tour guide pointed to the Yanshi Mountain outside the car window and introduced it earnestly: "Yanshi Mountain is 3,000 meters high. There is no grass on the mountain. From a distance, it looks like an iron mountain. Therefore, it is also called Iron Mountain. The ruins of the ancient mechanical civilization are inside Yanshi Mountain. The building structure inside is very complicated, like a maze."
The female tour guide emphasized: "Because of the special structure of Yanshi Mountain, it strongly interferes with wireless communications. Everyone must follow the planned route to avoid getting lost. Every year, people disappear at the site. Exploring the ruins of ancient civilizations is fun, but there is no need to take risks..."
Lan Tianshou, Bai Yunfeng and a group of people were listening obediently. If Gao Xuan hadn't been there, they would have flirted with the female tour guide long ago.
Now, they don't have the courage to show off. Moreover, the female tour guide kept looking at Gao Xing, and her eyes could not see anyone else.
Including the other women on the bus, they always tried their best to see Gao Xuan. Even those who were accompanied by men could not resist their curiosity and love.
Gao Xuan was wearing sunglasses, so no one could see that he had his eyes closed. They just thought that the boy was too handsome.
For ordinary people, Gao Xuan's handsomeness is too dazzling. They dare not look directly at him, but they can't help but look at him.
It's not just women, men are like this too.
Compared with the Yanshi ancient relics, everyone thinks Gao Xuan is obviously more beautiful and more worth viewing.
When the group of people entered the Yanshi ruins, they all consciously followed Gao Xuan and the others.
The female tour guide stood beside Gao Xuan enthusiastically and gave him explanations.
"As we all know, the most important metal for humans today, titanium steel, is an improved version of the metal formula obtained from the ruins of the mechanical civilization... The ruins of the mechanical civilization are like a treasure, and they are of great value to us humans..."
The internal structure of the Yanshi ruins is like a huge abandoned industrial base, with steel everywhere and some ancient machines of unknown purpose. The shapes are somewhat strange, but also have the rigor of industry.
Many tourists don't understand what it is, they just watch the fun and take photos in front of the weird machines, that's it.
There are also some people who want to try their luck and search around everywhere, hoping to find something good.
Every few years, tourists would find special items left behind by an ancient mechanical civilization at the Yanshi ruins and make a fortune.
Although the chance of this happening is extremely low, everyone wants to try their luck. This is also the most attractive part of the Yanshi ruins.
Virtual reality technology is now very mature, and the virtual world created by designers is much more exciting than the real world.
When it comes to field travel, many people feel bored.
This gimmick of the Yanshi ruins cannot be experienced in the virtual world.
The group walked around for a while and then unanimously asked the tour guide to take them to the deeper levels of the Yanshi ruins to try their luck.
Everyone took the ancient mechanical elevator to the bottom of the Yanshi ruins. It is 20,000 meters above the ground. The ancient mechanical elevator glides very fast, with violent fluctuations, just like an exciting roller coaster.
When getting off the roller coaster, most of the tourists looked unhappy.
Lan Tianshou and the others acted as if nothing had happened. Compared to Gao Xuan, these sword team members were weaklings, but they were much stronger than ordinary people.
The tour guide also looked a little unhappy, but she still professionally guided the tourists to adjust their bodies and put on their clothes.
Twenty thousand meters underground, the temperature was more than twenty degrees below zero, which was very cold. There were not many lighting sources on this floor, and the environment was cold and dim, which was quite depressing.
The female tour guide repeatedly told everyone not to run around. They should stay in the illuminated area and gather in two hours.
After explaining all this, the female tour guide approached Gao Xuan and said, "I'm very familiar with this place. I'll take you around."
She whispered mysteriously, "This place has been explored countless times by the authorities, so it's impossible to find any loopholes. Those mechanical equipment are all imitations.
"However, there are still some interesting things on the bottom floor. For example, the mechanical dolls have been restored later and are still quite playable..."
The female tour guide was so fond of Gao Xuan's looks that she told him the true situation of the Yanshi ruins.
"Thank you, we can just look around on our own."
Gao Xuan declined the female tour guide's kindness as he didn't need anyone to follow him.
The female tour guide was very disappointed. She couldn't force herself to follow Gao Xuan, so she could only gently remind him, "Although the ruins have been excavated, this place is very large and it's easy to get lost. It's even more difficult to contact without a wireless signal. You all signed a safety contract. If something unexpected happens, there will be no search and rescue help..."
"I know. Don't worry."
Gao Xuan smiled and waved his hand, then took Yun Qingshang and walked deeper into the passage.
The female tour guide looked at him with worry on her face, but she had said everything she needed to say, and there was nothing she could do if Gao Xuan insisted on going deeper.
The entire Yanshi underground ruins is very large, only one tenth of which is open to the public, and some modern supporting facilities have been built, such as lighting, wireless signal transfer stations, etc.
There is nothing in the undeveloped ruins area except the empty ruins themselves. If someone gets lost in there and there is no one to search and rescue them, it is easy to die in there.
The female tour guide waited for two hours, and everyone else came back except Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang.
This made the female tour guide even more worried, so she said to everyone, "Some people haven't come back yet, let's wait a while."
The others knew at a glance that Gao Xuan hadn't returned, and the women all looked worried. However, a few men showed expressions of gloating.
If she grew up like Gao Xuan, there would definitely be countless men who would envy and be jealous of her.
Lan Tianshou, Bai Yunfeng and others all sneered. How could Gao Xuan possibly get into trouble in such a place
He said to the female tour guide, "No need to wait for Gao Xuan. He told me in advance that he would stay in the ruins for a few days."
Gao Xuan did tell him about it beforehand and asked him to go back and tell head coach Ji Xiuying.
Although the female tour guide wanted to continue waiting for Gao Xuan, since Lan Tianshou had said so, she couldn't waste everyone's time. She could only leave with some regret and uneasiness.
At this time, Gao Xuan had already brought Yun Qingchang to the depths of the ruins.
There is no light here, nor any modern equipment. There is only endless darkness and coldness.
The metal walls and ground of the Yanshi ruins are full of traces of violent exploration.
It can be seen that the Yanshi ruins have been explored and excavated many times over the past thousands of years. The traces of various destruction are of different ages, with obvious time intervals.
The Yanshi ruins are all made of metal structure, which has a very strong shielding effect against spiritual power.
Even Gao Xuan's spiritual power could not cover the Yanshi ruins. Especially in the deep places, the heavy metal structures restricted the roaming of spiritual power.
Gao Xuan was very satisfied with this, he needed such an environment. He could hide in a corner for a few days so that no one could find him.
On the other hand, he felt an inexplicable familiarity with the Yanshi ruins, probably because of the mechanical war cicada.
"Maybe, we can find something here..."
Gao Xuan followed that subtle feeling of familiarity and wandered deep into the ruins.
He soon discovered the problem. The rooms in the core area deep underground of the ruins were unusually neat. Each room was a standard cube, with nine cubes on each floor arranged in a grid.
There are three floors of such rooms, forming a huge three-order Rubik's Cube.
The twenty-seven cubic rooms were severely damaged, with large holes dug out on the roofs, walls, and floors, which made the twenty-seven rooms connected to each other.
Apparently there are a lot of smart people who can see that there is something wrong with this huge Rubik's Cube array.
It's an identical cube room, the only difference is the spherical central control on the wall.
The basketball-sized iron ball was engraved with strange words of mechanical civilization. Half of the iron ball was embedded in the wall, and the other half was exposed. By adjusting the iron ball, the words on it could be aligned with the center point.
There are 96 characters and 27 rooms on the iron ball. By adjusting them in different orders, they can be combined into a password.
Gao Xuan figured out the structure of the cube room and immediately understood how to use the cube.
The six-winged cicada chirped, and a complex code immediately appeared in his mind.
Gao Xuan did a simple calculation. Ninety-six characters plus twenty-seven rooms randomly arranged in sequence, this permutation and combination number is very scary. No wonder no one has been able to crack it for thousands of years.
Without the memories left by the mechanical cicada, no matter how strong his mental power was, he would not be able to crack the code of the cube room.
Gao Xuan entered the rooms one by one in order to lock the passwords. The iron ball-shaped combination locks in some rooms were broken, and some of the combination iron balls were even taken away.
Fortunately, he can leave a mark of spiritual power through the mechanical cicada to replace the iron ball-shaped code.
In fact, the most important thing is not the iron ball combination lock, but the spiritual power imprint left when unlocking. It must match the spiritual wave frequency set by the mechanical civilization.
Just this design prevents other civilizations from cracking the cube through brute force.
Gao Xuan was very curious about this. The mechanical civilization designed such complex protective measures. What was inside the cube
He was also a little worried that humans' destructive exploration of the cube might destroy the secret of the cube.
After all the room codes were matched, Gao Xuan could sense that the deep sea of source power suddenly shook, as if a huge monster emerged from the depths of the sea of source power.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the cube room began to rumble.
The sound was deep, heavy and sluggish, like an old machine running slowly.
The clacking sound seemed stuttering and it seemed like it might stop at any time.
Such a violent vibration caused the entire Yanshi ruins to shake violently. People in the Yanshi ruins thought it was an earthquake, and many people screamed and ran around in panic.
The tour guide and her friends were just out of the Yanshi ruins and hadn't boarded the bus yet, but they were also terrified because the entire Yanshi Mountain was shaking.
Lan Tianshou, Bai Yunfeng and the others also looked uneasy, not knowing what was going on.
At this moment, Jin Guangshan, who was in the Yanshi Ruins, was puzzled at first, and then he realized that the change came from deep inside the ruins. It was clear that some important mechanism inside the Yanshi Ruins had been activated!
Jin Guangshan had come here to chase Gao Xuan, and wanted to find a chance to kill him, but he didn't expect to encounter something like this. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed: "There is such a good thing!"
