It was Wang Kai's first time here, and he felt quite curious. Tony and Skye were much more normal. They didn't have any reverence for the president. There were no "officials" to be feared overseas. The officials here were true public servants. The people paid taxes and had the right to supervise them. This was a consensus.
Going around Mount Rushmore, they arrived at the lake. Beside the lake was a rocky area, which was where the entrance to the treasure was located. Everyone arrived here and then looked at Wang Kai.
"Okay, everyone, take out your water and sprinkle it on these rocks, looking for a pattern of a soaring eagle."
Wang Kai instructed, taking out a bottle of water and starting to sprinkle it on the rocks. These rocks were very special. After being dampened with water, their color would deepen, but only the eagle would remain white, making it easy to find.
Seeing what Wang Kai was doing, the others followed suit, taking out their water bottles and sprinkling the water on the rocks. The pale rocks began to change color in large patches, but the eagle pattern did not appear.
Tony had already emptied a bottle of water. He couldn't wait to find a water truck to directly water all the rocks. How long would it take to splash like this?
"Found it."
Finally, after two minutes, one of Tony's men found the eagle pattern Wang Kai was talking about.
Wang Kai came over. It was a rock with a crack in the middle. Around the crack, there was a white eagle enveloping the crack. That's right, this was where the mechanism was to open.
"Kai, is this it?"
Tony asked nervously.
"That's right, this is the entrance mechanism. How about it, do you want to activate it yourself?"
Wang Kai said to Tony. Wang Kai knew what was inside, and only needed to reach in and pull the mechanism, so he wasn't very interested.
"Me? Get me a glove."
Tony was certainly interested, but looking at the dark crack, Tony hesitated. Who knew what was inside? Maybe it was a snake's nest, so he had to be fully prepared.
After putting on the glove, Tony hesitantly put his hand on the crack. He really couldn't make up his mind to put his hand in. It was a bit like the Mouth of Truth in the Santa Maria in Cosmedin church in Italy. It was a disc carved with the head of the sea god. It was said that if you put your hand in his mouth, you wouldn't be able to pull it out if you lied.
This was actually using people's fear of the unknown. Although Tony was a genius, he also had human nature. He was also afraid, but after all, he was an adult. Tony calmed himself down, put his hand in, and slowly groped. Finally, he found a mechanism and pulled it hard. A piece of rock next to it suddenly seemed to crack, and a pile of stones fell, revealing an opening.
"The ancients were really geniuses, able to design such a mechanism."
Tony said. Even he thought such a mechanism was too excellent. He would definitely take a look at the structure later.
"Tony, the internal framework is already decayed. If we rashly go in, I'm afraid we will be trapped inside. Do you have any good ideas?"
Wang Kai said to Tony. Wang Kai didn't want to end up like in the movie, only being able to go out from another road. After all, man proposes, God disposes. If there were any accidents in the middle, it would be troublesome.
"Of course, watch me."
Tony had his men bring over a box. After opening it, there were four drones that were not much bigger than tennis balls. Tony took out a tablet and clicked a few times. The drones flew up and flew towards the opening like little birds.
On the lid of the box was a screen with four windows, each showing the perspective of one of the drones. After the drones flew into the opening, they dispersed and began to scan the inside.
Wang Kai clearly saw the scattered stones inside, as well as the ancient carvings, and a wooden frame with a huge stone hanging on it.
Wang Kai knew that this was the weight-bearing of the cave door. If this stone fell, the entrance door would be sealed by a huge rock.
"Look, here, pay attention to this mechanism, this should be responsible for this stone door, we need to reinforce it."
Although Tony hadn't seen the movie, he was a top student in the Department of Electronic Engineering. Looking at these simple mechanisms was easy for him.
"That's right, it must be reinforced. Those materials have decayed. As long as you touch it slightly, it will collapse, and this entrance will be sealed. If we go in, it will be difficult to get out."
Wang Kai also said. Complete preparations must be made.
After retrieving the drones, he immediately created an internal 3D structure diagram on the computer. Tony clicked a few times and had already come up with a reinforcement plan. Tony's men took the tools and entered the cave to start reinforcing.
Half an hour later, Happy led the people out and told Tony that it had been fixed. Only then did Wang Kai take Tony and Skye into the cave.
After entering the cave, Wang Kai saw many metal frames reinforcing the stone, and also fixing the round stone at the door. Even if the mechanism was activated, it would be impossible for the round stone to roll and seal the door. In ancient times, there were no hydraulic devices. The round stone sealed the door entirely by gravity rolling. In other words, even if the entrance was sealed, as long as there was a pushing force, it could be reopened.
"Wow, even if there is no treasure, seeing so many relics has already made me very satisfied. It's really beautiful."
Tony looked at the relics carved on the four walls inside and sincerely sighed.
"The ancients certainly had their shining points. We must not only enjoy the present, but also cherish the past. It's just a pity that these things cannot be moved out, and the land here cannot be developed into a museum, so that more people can appreciate the civilization here."
Wang Kai said. These ancient cultures were indeed a bit interesting, but Wang Kai felt that if the ancient cultures of China were taken out, they would probably be more attractive than here. What attracted Wang Kai more was the golden gold inside.
Continuing to walk inside, they found a blocked entrance. This was the correct entrance to enter the City of Gold. The other one could only be considered a side road, not a regular entrance. The result of using it rashly would be the same as in the movie, flooding the ruins with water.
"Hey, buddy, isn't that a golden little man over there?"
Tony quickly noticed that on the other side of the entrance, there was a dead-end passage. On the wall at the end of the passage, there was a yellow little man.
"Tony, don't go over there, there are traps. That golden man is just bait."
Wang Kai saw that Tony was actually walking over carelessly, and quickly shouted, but it was already too late. Tony had already approached the little golden man, and a flap had already begun to lift.
