Chapter 1141 is simply a miracle
Master Li looked at Lin Zhen, his cloudy old eyes filled with indescribable shock and fervor.
He has spent his whole life dealing with all sorts of government agencies.
He believed that his mastery of mechanical arts was unmatched in the entire Great Qian Dynasty.
But today, he was thoroughly taught a lesson by the man in front of him, who was even younger than his grandson.
While these professional mechanical masters were still racking their brains over those complex circuits and structures.
He actually found the only way out of this dead end simply by understanding the enemy's psychology!
This is no longer just a simple technological crushing victory.
This is a kind of dimensional reduction attack that is almost like the "Tao"!
"Your Highness... is a divine being!"
Master Li sighed sincerely, then handed over the sketch in his hand.
"Your Highness, please take a look. Based on our deduction just now, behind this stone brick should be the core control center of this pressure device. Inside, there are nine main lines and one main sensing line that goes straight to Kong Zhiqian's heart."
"Our idea is for all ten of us to work together. Nine of us will be responsible for cutting the nine main lines. And I, the old minister, will be responsible for replacing the most critical main induction line at the same time with a specially made, insulated device!"
"As long as our actions are fast enough and synchronized enough—fast enough that the pressure device doesn't even have time to react—we have a one in a thousand chance..."
His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
One in a thousand chance.
This isn't just disassembling a mechanism; it's practically wrestling with the King of Hell.
"It doesn't have to be that troublesome."
Lin Zhen simply glanced at the sketch filled with complex lines and then spoke indifferently.
"What?" Master Li was taken aback.
Lin Zhen then extended his uninjured left hand.
His fingers were long, slender, fair, and with distinct knuckles.
Those were the hands of an artist, meant to hold a pen and play the zither.
But at this moment, in this dark, damp underground space...
These hands, however, exuded a stability and power more chilling than any divine weapon.
"What you ten people need to do, I can do alone."
Lin Zhen's voice was very calm.
But beneath that calm lies an absolute confidence that could make the heavens and earth pale in comparison!
"Wha...what?!"
Master Li and all the craftsmen behind him were stunned!
one person? !
He wants to accomplish something that even ten people might not be able to do alone?!
This...how is this possible? !
"Your Highness! You absolutely mustn't!" Master Li cried out anxiously, "This...this is no joke! These nine lines are distributed in different locations and at different angles, they're incredibly tricky! Moreover, the force and timing required to cut them are completely different! If there's even the slightest mistake..."
“I know.” Lin Zhen interrupted him, her gaze becoming even sharper.
"That's why we need me even more."
He looked at Master Li and said, word by word, "Because, in this world, only my hands are fast enough."
Only my heart is truly at peace.
"Only I dare to gamble my own life, and the lives of all the people in this city, on this one in a thousand chance!"
Master Li was completely speechless.
He looked at Lin Zhen, at his determined eyes burning with a fierce flame.
He knew he could no longer persuade him.
Or rather, he had been completely won over by this man's madness and sense of responsibility.
"Your Highness..." His voice choked with emotion, "Then...then what can we do for you?"
"Open that stone brick for me." Lin Zhen's voice was cold and resolute. "Then tell me the exact location of those ten lines."
"Yes!"
……
"Click."
With a soft click, the stone brick that held the secret of life and death was carefully removed.
Behind the stone bricks is a square recess, only the size of a bowl.
The inside of the groove was densely covered with colorful metal wires, like a spider web!
These threads are finer and more intricately intertwined than a human hair.
At the very center of these threads was a crystal, no bigger than a fingernail, that was shimmering with a faint blue light.
The crystal was pulsating rhythmically in sync with the heartbeat of Kong Zhiqian, who was tied to a valve in the distance.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
Each pulse was like a heavy hammer blow, striking the hearts of everyone present.
Everyone knows that as soon as that pulsating sound stops...
Then all of their lives will come to an end.
“Your Highness, look…” Master Li pointed to the dense silk threads, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
“The nine outermost lines, in red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white, correspond to the nine main routes.”
"And right in the center, that golden thread that connects directly to the blue crystal is the main sensor wire!"
"These ten lines must be severed at the same instant! The time difference must not exceed one-hundredth of a breath!"
“Moreover,” his voice grew even more fearful, “they must be cut by a completely insulated object! Otherwise, any static electricity reaction will trigger an immediate explosion!”
One percent of a breath!
Completely insulated!
This is absolutely an impossible task!
Everyone's hearts sank.
However, Lin Zhen's face remained expressionless.
He simply watched quietly as the blue crystal pulsated like the heart of a demon.
Then, he slowly took something out of his pocket.
It was a small thumb ring, entirely black and smooth as jade.
It was Murong Yan who gave him the token of their love.
He put the ring on the thumb of his left hand.
Then, he pulled out a row of nine silver needles as fine as cow hair from the boot.
"Your Highness! You...you want to use this?" Master Li was so shocked by his actions that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Using a silver needle to cut metal wires thinner than a hair?
And all nine were fired at once?!
This...this is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people!
This is simply a miracle!
"Is there a problem?" Lin Zhen glanced at him indifferently.
"No...no problem..." Master Li hurriedly shook his head like a rattle drum.
He now feels nothing but awe towards this prince, and dares not question him in any way.
Lin Zhen ignored him.
He took a deep breath and slowly channeled all his internal energy into his left hand.
His long, fair hand, which had previously appeared somewhat frail, now shimmered with a faint golden light.
The nine silver needles in his hand seemed to come alive, trembling slightly between his fingers.
Everyone held their breath.
The entire underground space was so quiet that only the rhythmic pulsation of the blue crystal and Kong Zhiqian's increasingly rapid breathing in the distance could be heard.
Kong Zhiqian also saw Lin Zhen's actions.
The hint of mockery and smugness on his face gradually disappeared.
Instead, there was an unbelievable horror!
He can't understand!
What exactly is Lin Zhen trying to do?!
Does he really intend to challenge this perfect deadly trap, which he created with the utmost dedication of his life?!
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
Time seemed to slow down infinitely at this moment.
Lin Zhen no longer saw the torches around him.
There were no more brothers behind him.
There is no more Kong Zhiqian, who was like a madman.
All he could see was that small square groove and the ten metal wires inside that represented life and death.
At this moment, his mind entered a state of unprecedented clarity.
The ancient well remains calm.
Forget yourself and the world.
then.
He moved.
His left hand was so fast it was like a phantom that couldn't be caught by the naked eye!
"call out!"
A soft, almost inaudible sound rang out!
Nine silver needles, each as thin as a cow's hair, shot out from between his fingers at the same time!
It transformed into nine faint yet incredibly fast, cold beams of light!
It was precisely aimed at the nine main lines, each a different color!
At almost the same time, his left thumb, along with the jet-black jade ring, swiftly plunged into the groove!
The target is the most crucial golden main sensor line!
A thought arises.
A thought of death.
Success or failure depends on this!
