Survival on the Star Sea: Starting from a small broken ship and becoming stronger

Chapter 362 Pyramid Puzzle [4000] Thanks to book friend DrMango for the reward

The destruction of the vehicle went very smoothly. As an excellent mecha pilot, Zhao Feng was also an excellent mecha repairman.

He could even repair a mecha, let alone an all-terrain vehicle with a simpler structure.

He first targeted the electronic control system of the all-terrain vehicle to destroy it, in order to prevent the scientists from discovering that someone had done it deliberately.

Zhao Feng did not use rough destruction techniques, but used his mind power to penetrate into the area where the vehicle's circuit board was located, and desoldered the connections on the circuit board by simulating high-frequency vibrations.

As a result, the electronic starter of the all-terrain vehicle and the on-board navigation system will be unusable.

Of course, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Zhao Feng did not just attack this place.

Because the starter and the circuit boards of the navigation system can be repaired in half an hour if accessories are available.

So he also needs to destroy some of the more difficult-to-maintain accessories.

Steering gear is one of the best choices.

In order to prevent other scientists from discovering the clues.

Zhao Feng used his telekinesis to break off and bend the parts of the steering gear that often rubbed against each other. At the same time, he forcibly compressed all the oil in it, causing it to overheat and turn into oil and gas.

At the same time, the power of mind penetrates into the oil pipe and forcibly creates defects such as "beach holes" in the oil pipe.

As a result, high temperature and pipeline defects will eventually lead to problems with the steering mechanism.

After a set of small tricks, if you want to control the direction, you must use more force to twist the steering wheel. This will cause the power steering pump to increase the pressure output, which will naturally destroy the oil circuit of the steering gear.

If you want to repair the oil line, you must drive the vehicle to the gantry maintenance rack in the base.

By then, in addition to oil line problems, scientists will also discover twisted steering accessories.

Such a set of maintenance will definitely take more than 2 hours to complete.

In this way, Zhao Feng used this method to temporarily keep those scientists who wanted to go out to explore in the base.

As for why he didn't choose to communicate?

Just kidding, if you communicate, you will definitely need to explain a lot, and then there will be some people who object and others who agree. Then he will definitely fall into the quagmire of explanations and waste precious time.

So it would be better to go straight to Huanglong from the beginning. This would not only be extremely efficient, but also save him from wasting his time communicating with these NPCs.

No, it only took Zhao Feng more than 10 minutes to complete the sabotage work.

Then he returned to the base and replaced it with a new oxygen backpack. In addition, to ensure that there would be no problems, he also brought an extra set of spare oxygen bottles in case of emergency.

After doing this, he quietly slipped away from the side of the base and walked towards the cave where the ruins area was located.

Soon Zhao Feng arrived at the location of the cave.

According to the road book recorded in the computer system in the space suit, he quickly found the route to the underground city in the cave with many forks.

Apart from the poor road conditions along the way, Zhao Feng did not encounter any dangers such as agencies.

But he still maintained a cautious attitude and slowly explored the depths.

An hour later, the passage in the mountain suddenly sloped downwards. Following this downhill road, Zhao Feng arrived at his destination soon.

A huge underground space.

With the help of the light projected by the large fluorescent plants on the cave wall and the full-color night vision device on the visor of the space suit, it was easy to take in the entire underground city.

This huge underground space is no smaller than the underground city of the Daleros, but in terms of technology, it looks much rougher than the underground city of the Daleros.

There is no familiar steel structure, and there is no concrete pouring layer. In the underground city with a triangular layout, all buildings and even cave walls are made of natural stones cut and stacked.

There is no doubt that this structure can withstand the attack of time for an extremely long time.

But the resistance to changes in geological structure and some other disasters is not so optimistic.

Most of the city that came into view at this time was in ruins.

Except for the three pyramids located in the middle, almost no intact buildings can be seen.

After thinking about it, Zhao Feng did not hesitate and went directly down the side ramp to the bottom of the city. Then he followed the route he just saw and headed straight to the three pyramids in the middle of the city.

Obviously, as the first stage of the trial, the difficulty of the entire scene is not too high.

In addition to making the right choice based on the surrounding environment when you first arrive, the ruins of the city here also directly give clues.

Zhao Feng walked through the three pyramids one by one, and he soon discovered that two of them had open doors, which clearly meant that he could go in and explore.

After thinking about it, Zhao Feng first put the spare oxygen backpack outside to free up his telekinesis, and then pulled out two titanium alloy drill rods that he had secretly passed from the base.

After confirming that there was no problem with the equipment, he walked towards a pyramid.

The structure inside the first pyramid is completely integrated, there are no complicated tunnels, and there are no so-called traps.

After walking 10 meters through the gate, the scenery in front of Zhao Feng suddenly became clear.

The interior of this pyramid is completely hollow, and the inner wall of the huge pyramid is not an uneven stack of rock layers.

On the contrary, the internal structure is composed of completely smooth stone slabs, with no visible seams, as if it were made entirely from nature.

As he walked to the central area of ​​​​the building, Zhao Feng discovered more interesting things.

At this time, it seemed that it was because of the angle. After entering the ruins, there was no abnormality on the walls. However, after he came to a slightly higher round platform in the center, the four huge triangular walls around him suddenly revealed A huge amount of text information.

This was not over yet. Somehow, those text messages seemed to have magic power in Zhao Feng's eyes, pressing directly towards his location.

An ordinary person would probably be frightened by this mental pressure and run away, but Zhao Feng's will attribute was high enough and he was exempted from this wave of tests in a series of system prompts.

[Ding, you have been impacted by the torrent of knowledge, and your mental power is being tested. . . Big success】

[Knowledge +20]

[Ding, you are impacted by the torrent of knowledge and are making a willpower test. . . Big success】

[Knowledge +20]

The two tests were successful, allowing Zhao Feng to absorb the words on the wall very smoothly.

Apart from being slightly in a trance, he did not have his head exploded on the spot due to the overwhelming amount of information.

He looked up at the wall above his head again and translated the information in his mind. He soon discovered that most of the contents were about some strange mathematical formulas.

However, although Zhao Feng is a scientist, his attainments in the field of mathematics are obviously not worthy of this title, so he did not realize the role of this set of formulas.

On the contrary, there was another point that Zhao Feng was more concerned about. Through some calculation formulas left by the ancients, he could easily see that the counting method they used was also decimal.

It is obvious that the way of thinking of the ancients in the field of mathematics should be the same as that of humans.

This will definitely be helpful for future exploration of the ruins of the ancients. After all, the only way to get to know each other better, and the closer your thinking is to the other person, will be the more likely you are to get good results in the trial.

After writing down the formulas on the wall, Zhao Feng explored the pyramid a few more times. After confirming that there were no other abnormalities, he came to the second pyramid.

Because of the experience he had absorbed in the ancient writings, Zhao Feng did not immediately enter the pyramid this time, but observed the messages carved outside the pyramid.

At first he thought those ghostly symbols were some kind of paintings, but now it seemed that was obviously not the case.

The symbols carved on the pyramid rock formations are all numerical information.

Staring at those pictographic numbers, Zhao Feng frowned and didn't understand what they meant.

Glancing at the pyramid door that was still open in front of him, he chose to go in first to see if there were any clues inside.

The structure inside the second pyramid is exactly the same as that inside the first pyramid.

The only difference is that there is a conspicuous round platform in the center, and there seems to be something placed on the stone round platform.

Then walk over and take a look at the items placed on the stone platform.

Zhao Feng's expression couldn't help but become strange.

'remote control? computer? ’

He did not casually pick up the instrument on the stone platform that was obviously different from the surrounding paintings.

Zhao Feng raised his head, preparing to receive the information transmitted from the surrounding walls.

Because in the first pyramid, Zhao Feng was already familiar with the ancients' method of transmitting knowledge.

Therefore, although this wave of text information has more text information and puts more pressure on it, because of the resistance, the two tests of this wave are still great successes.

Knowledge points are increased again by 40 points.

Seeing that the knowledge points that had not been used for a long time had increased by 80 in one trial, Zhao Feng couldn't help but click his tongue.

‘Tsk, 131 points of knowledge, 13.1% drawing resolution rate, I guess the attribute of obtaining drawings next time should be able to play a role, right? ’

After glancing at the knowledge attribute data, Zhao Feng focused his attention on the wall again, and quickly interpreted the meaning of the text and image information.

‘If you want to restart the source of life, you need to open the cores of the three pyramids? ’

With doubts in his heart, Zhao Feng looked at the words and patterns on the wall again.

I saw that it was a triangular pyramid pattern composed of small squares.

On the area representing the central stone tile of the pyramid, a key symbol is carved.

Staring at the ambiguous information on it, and then looking at the digital buttons on the "remote control" in front of the stone table, Zhao Feng couldn't help but fall into thinking.

‘Numbers, formulas, core. . . ’

His brain was working rapidly, recalling all the information he had seen along the way.

Then it dawned on him.

Just before entering, he saw a large amount of digital information outside the second pyramid.

They are all carved on the stone bricks of the pyramid's outer wall in a layer-by-layer pattern.

As his memory became clearer, Zhao Feng quickly concluded a piece of information from the pattern on the outer wall of the second tower.

Counting from the top rock, the numbers on each level are the sum of the numbers on the two adjacent levels on the lower level.

First line 52

Second line 31+21

24+ in the third line? +14

The fourth row is 21+3+4+10

This is a very simple question.

The core value should be 7.

Although he knew the rules of the puzzle, Zhao Feng did not take it lightly, nor did he immediately move the remote control on the stone platform.

‘The trial cannot be so simple. If it can be passed so easily, then becoming the successor of the Ancient One will be too easy. ’

'There must be a trap. ’

So after Zhao Feng thought about it for a while, he chose to exit the second pyramid first and go to see the first and third pyramids outside.

The first pyramid is bare and obviously does not need to be deciphered.

The third pyramid, exactly as Zhao Feng thought, began to behave like a human being.

Not to mention that the number of floors has increased sevenfold, there are also a lot of vacancies.

‘Now the gates of the first and second pyramids are all opened. ’

‘In the first pyramid, I obtained a mathematical formula that I don’t know what it does. Obviously, the complicated formula was not used to solve this simple puzzle. ’

‘The second pyramid is like an instruction manual. When the core is filled in, I don’t know what good things it will give. Isn’t it still an inexplicable mathematical formula? ’

‘Then now you only need to unlock the third pyramid to complete this trial. ’

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng did not feel relieved, but instead felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.

This is the trial of the Ancient One. He was chased by the activated life form for hundreds of streets and died in a panic. How could it be so simple now?

But then Zhao Feng secretly comforted himself in his heart: 'It's just the first stage. The test should be made simpler, maybe to allow the successor to adapt first? ’

After comforting himself, Zhao Feng began to deduce the digital information on the third pyramid according to the rules he had summarized before.

But Zhao Feng soon discovered that if he calculated using a system of linear equations of one variable and used trial and error calculations to calculate the core values, a lot of time would be wasted.

After frowning and taking a look at the dense pyramid sequence, Zhao Feng suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.

‘Perhaps it can be cracked using “applied algebra”. ’

As Zhao Feng's calculation tools were updated, he soon listed a long list of equations with the unknown number X.

Because of the use of algebra, Zhao Feng can directly calculate the core data by saving a lot of steps by correlating the relationships between numbers.

This is undoubtedly much more efficient than the previous method.

Five minutes later, after determining the core value of the third pyramid, Zhao Feng returned to the second pyramid.

Then he picked up the remote control with a very different painting style without hesitation.

Just as Zhao Feng picked up the machine, the stone platform in the center triggered some kind of mechanism at the same time.

Just like pressing the start button of a car, the stone platform sank directly without even a moment to react.

At the same time, the huge gears deep underground began to rotate, accompanied by twisted friction sounds and increasingly stronger vibrations.

The decryption mission officially begins. (End of chapter)
