[Notes on Tomb Raiders] Return to Wushan

Soon my idea was confirmed. We walked back to the mark in about half an hour, and the fat man sat down on the steps.

"His grandma's doing this again, every fight does this, can they have some other tricks."

I thought it was true, the first fight they demolished the wall, the second fight was an illusion, I don't know what trick it is here.

There was no time to think slowly, the little brother asked the fat man to get up, and we walked side by side touching the wall again.

We turned the torch aperture to the maximum, and the black stone absorbed light, and we could barely illuminate a small area even if we lined up.

We still didn’t find anything in this circle, so we went back to the original point, and naively proposed to compare the curvature of the ladder with the rope to see if we had gone downhill invisibly.

So we looked for the corners along the stairs, and found four in total. We stood on a corner alone, naively responsible for measuring the arc.

The stairs are very long, and the inflection points are far apart, so I cannot communicate. I sit on the steps and wait innocently. Once people fall into silence, they will involuntarily think about many things.

I thought of what Mu An said just now, cardiac arrest, cerebral hemorrhage, shock, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of pain. If I really come to this point, I hope there will be a happy ending.

But they probably won't do what I want, they are so innocent and kind, he can't do it, and the fat man is probably too, Mu'an may collapse on the spot when I die, only the little brother, he said that he only saves people who don't want to die, if I want to die with all my heart, I don't know if he will fulfill me.

I put my hand on my chest, and I can clearly feel the speed of my heartbeat, which is completely different from the feeling when I was poisoned before.

According to Mu'an, the effect of the injection will also increase the blood concentration. Although I don't understand pharmacology, I also know by common sense that too thick blood will cause many complications.

I thought to myself that I really won the lottery this time, no matter how I looked at it, it was a dead word. I had just sublimated my ideological consciousness, and fate immediately gave me a chance to prove it.

what luck...

I stared at the wall for a while, and then appeared at the end of the stairs innocently and panting. I threw the rope to him and asked

"How is the result ahead? Have you found a downhill point?"

Naively shook his head, didn't say much and continued to go up with the rope. When Tianzhen typed out the message "return" on it, I put away the rope and went downstairs to meet them.

When I walked to the fat man at the starting point, Tian Zhen and they just happened to return from the other direction. We gathered at the origin, and Mu An was a little anxious

"The cycle lasts for half an hour. We don't have time to do other arguments. Now we have to find a way out. If we can't do it, let's just blow it up."

This is the best for the fat man, and he immediately agreed

"I think it's ok, he goes around and he goes around, the fat man and I have two gunfights, he is obedient, you see where to fix it, let's do it as soon as possible."

This is a bad idea, unless it is a last resort, it cannot be used lightly, there are too many uncontrollable factors in the ground, if the dosage is not controlled properly, we will bury loyal bones everywhere in the green hills, and family members can only build a clothes grave if they want to go to the funeral.

I thought that according to the process, the two rational players, Tian Zhen and Xiao Ge, would reject the two rounds first, but I didn't expect Tian Zhen to nod in agreement immediately after the fat man finished speaking.

"Actually, my situation is not that urgent, why don't we think about it again." I had no choice but to carry the banner of reason.

"We've been delayed here for too long, and we don't know how much further we have to go. We don't have time, so let's do this."

Talking innocently, I rummaged through my backpack, I hurriedly grabbed innocently and said

"That can't change from me stopping the food alone to all of you looking for death. Let's think again, think again."

Tianzhen didn't stop because of my actions, he took out a flare gun, and said while reloading:

"Do you think I was impulsive? Just when I climbed the stairs alone, I figured it out a little bit. This place is unsolvable."

After speaking, Tianzhen raised the flare gun to the top of his head, and the flare flew into the sky and disappeared into the darkness without any light from burning aluminum powder. Tianzhen was not surprised at all, I stared at him dumbfounded

"Do you know the famous geometric paradox - Penrose's ladder?"

I shook my head innocently

"This paradox was proposed by a father and son in the UK. It refers to a ladder that is always going up or down but can't reach the end. When I walked the first lap, I found that the structure here is very similar to the structure of the Penrose ladder. , but I didn't think about it at the time, because the black stone here, I thought it was the multi-stable perception that caused the trouble. Simply put, the things you see will change due to your perception state-forget it, not much to say This, I don’t remember very much, anyway, after our various practices later, I found that this is a typical Penrose staircase. Of course, the ancients thousands of years ago could not understand mathematical paradoxes, but their principles are the same.”

"Then...then since you know the principle of this maze, can't you solve it?" The naive theory is too bluffing, and I didn't understand it for a while.

"It can be cracked, just reduce the dimension. The reason why the Penrose ladder is a geometric paradox is that it cannot exist in three-dimensional space. If you want to realize the structure of the Penrose ladder, you must put it in a higher-dimensional space. Sister, you are also a university student, you should know that our current technological means cannot achieve dimensionality reduction in real space.”

I was surprised

"Brother Tianzhen, are you saying that the space we are in now is not a three-dimensional space? How is it possible! Once the dimension of the space changes, we must be able to perceive it when we are in it. Your point of view is too sci-fi. I think it is outrageous."

Naively put away the flare gun and lead us up

"I also think it's impossible, but the fact is that the person who set up this mechanism did not know how to increase the dimension here, making the stairs here into the endless Penrose stairs, but the improvement of this dimension , it should not be used in a large area, otherwise the rest of the temple will not be a normal three-dimensional space, speaking of sister, you are a person who has traveled through time and space, and you still use common sense to measure everything in the end, it is not measurable."

After listening to this, I was completely speechless, so I shut up, Ben Gua.

It is naive to say that the key point of the Penrose ladder lies in the corners. Since it is going to be blasted, we will blow up from the corners one by one. The fat man is full of passion for this work. I think he must have loved setting off firecrackers when he was a child.

We covered our ears and hid for a long time. The fat man ignited the fire and exploded to the third corner. The pothole at the bottom was connected to another space.

I looked back at the endless Penrose stairs, and in a trance, I seemed to be able to vaguely touch another ultimate ability that I once perceived in the subconscious.

This guess is very hazy, with only a rough outline.

Fatty urged me behind me, I didn't think about it anymore, I lowered my head and got into the hole.

The space under the corner is very narrow, and can only accommodate one person to pass sideways. It looks like a crack in the mountain, and we can only move forward with our hands and feet.

The cracks are so wide and narrow that sometimes my feet can only reach the depressions in the wall, and the walk turns into a climb.

The direction of the cracks in the mountain is slowly upward, the fat man complained

"This ruined underground palace is all about slides, going up and down for a while, just walking people to play."

I said in my heart that multi-dimensional spaces can be adjusted, so don't pay too much attention to such small things.

After walking through the crack for more than ten minutes, the gap gradually became larger, the innocent figure in front loosened, the probe came out of the crack, we came out one after another, the fat man broke off a few cold fireworks and threw them around.

With the help of light, we found that this is a huge mountain cavity, which is the size of two golf courses. There are many cracks and caves on the cliff. The crack behind us is exactly on a cliff.

On one side of the cliff hangs a ladder with iron chains linking stone slabs. Some of the cold fireworks thrown by the fat man fell to the bottom of the cliff. Through the weak light, it can be vaguely seen that there is nothing underneath.

Well, I have to start climbing the stairs again, but fortunately, this staircase is a staircase with an end.

The stairs circled upwards in a zigzag shape, and Mu An suggested that he lead the battle. After the younger brother broke down, our position should be not far from the altar. If we encountered people from the organization on the way, he would be able to recognize at a glance which team they belonged to. We ran as fast as the detachment, and we could still fight when we met the logistics team.

The fat man said that this is not a robbery, but he likes it, Mu An corrected that it was not a robbery, but to obtain information, the fat man said that he was pretending to be poor, and the two almost had a fight on the stairs.

I thought in my heart that since the naivety passed, a new funny player finally came, and the fat man can fight at both ends to play to his heart's content.

Except for Mu An and the little brother at the head and tail, the rest of us turned off the flashlights and minimized the light source so that our whereabouts would not be too conspicuous. We are at the bottom of the stairs, so there is still a long way to go up .

The mountain cavity was silent, only the sound of our footsteps echoed in it. After walking for a while, the fat man saw that there was nothing unusual, so he started chatting softly

"Sister, you can make two wishes for me when the time comes. I'm not greedy, I just want to get rich and marry a wife. By the way, my wife wants to be young, beautiful, gentle, intellectual, youthful and energetic. Don't forget."

This may be the most idiom sentence I have ever heard fat people use.

"You mother is not greedy, you want money and women, and you almost gave you the whole throne to let you take the throne, what's the matter with you, you ask a girl to make a wish for you, be careful, the Lin family will not hear about ghosts Let you go, we ordinary people, it's better to be simple."

"Sister, you also make two wishes for him, naive, what do you want?"

"I want to get rich. I owe Xiao Hua a huge debt. If I don't pay it in two years, he will sell me to dig a black mine in a remote mountain area."

I was speechless and choked, can I not be so blunt, Comrade Wu Xie.

The author has something to say:

Every time when solving puzzles innocently, I feel that he is very handsome. It is true that Wu Xie forms the head, the younger brother forms the limbs, and the fat man forms the stomach...
