Chapter 37 Self-Defense

Li Sheng washed the key with the water, waded through the seawater that was up to his chest, returned to the ship model, and inserted it into the keyhole of the door.

Click.

The key was firmly stuck in the keyhole, but the door opened.

The light in the room was dim, and the body of the "captain" was also covered with epoxy resin, maintaining a stiff smile. Behind him stood a tall wooden cabinet, all the drawers of the wooden cabinet were sealed and could not be opened.

In the middle was a broken nautical clock with no moving hands, showing that London time was 17:06.

On the wooden table in front of the captain, there was a finely crafted metal instrument, and a line of words was written in blood on the table below the instrument.

[Climb on the bow, hold the rudder, noon has arrived, set sail! ]

The script tasks of the killing field game come with a translation function, which will directly project the meaning of the text language into the player's mind to solve the communication problem.

This is also a balancing strategy to some extent-the killing field will not issue a must-die task, and the difficulty of the generated tasks must be within the range that the player can solve.

If there is no thoughtful translation patch, there will be such a situation - low-IQ players who know nothing, precisely because they know nothing, face single-player missions that are less difficult than those generated for high-IQ players, which is undoubtedly unfair.

The killing field needs a group of thugs with comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor (maybe without morality and beauty), rather than a group of muscle sticks.

Li Sheng picked up the metal instrument, which consists of a 144° index arc, an index arm, a moving mirror, a fixed mirror, a telescope and a micrometer wheel. It is called a sextant. To put it bluntly, it is a handheld angle measuring instrument, which is a necessary tool for measuring latitude on ships during the Age of Exploration.

The index arm and micrometer wheel of this sextant are all reset to zero, and the telescope is just a showpiece without a telescope function.

Li Sheng suddenly thought of something, a sextant without a telescope function, the words "noon has arrived" written on the table, and a broken navigation clock.

So that's it.

He carried the sextant and strode out of the cabin to the rudder at the bow.

As a member of the astronomy club, Li Sheng knows how to confirm the location of a photo based on the constellations and shooting time in a photo, and also knows how to use a sextant.

He pulled the index arm of the sextant, moved the moving mirror and micrometer wheel, and pointed the telescope at the searchlight high on the ceiling.

The indoor environment naturally cannot see the sun, so the searchlight is the so-called "sun".

The latitude of the measurement site is equal to the zenith distance of the celestial body (90 degrees minus the altitude above the horizon) plus the declination of the celestial body.

It is calculated to be 20 degrees north latitude.

As for the longitude, it is given by the sea clock.

The sea clock indicates that it is 5 pm London time. Since it is too bright to measure the latitude by sextant observation, it is defaulted to noon. At the same time, it is written on the captain's desk that noon has arrived, so the measurement site, that is, the time here, can be roughly calculated as twelve o'clock.

The London time shown on the sea clock is 5 pm. The longitude will differ by 15 degrees for every hour of difference, so the current longitude is 75.9 degrees west longitude.

As for the fact that the marine clock had long been broken and the pointer no longer moved, it was probably to solve the puzzle. If the marine clock was normal, it would be inaccurate if the player delayed too long.

In this way, the longitude and latitude were measured, 20 degrees north latitude and 75.9 degrees west longitude.

Li Sheng jumped off the sailboat, swam through the two-and-a-half-meter-deep sea water, came to the exit of the room, rotated the roller combination lock, and entered the numbers 20-759 into it.

Click——

The combination lock opened immediately, and the metal plate automatically rose, revealing a narrow corridor just enough for one person to pass through.

The corridor was tilted upward, so although the seawater was flooding the room, there was no turbulent vortex.

Li Sheng swam into the corridor, and with the sound of the metal plate slowly descending behind him, he climbed out of the corridor and came to the next room.

"Huh, I finally got out."

He was soaked in seawater and brushed his hair, holding the heavy sextant in his hand.

In theory, the principle of designing a secret room is "do not add entities if not necessary". Too many clues and available props cannot be set to prevent players from being confused by too many choices.

It can also prevent some players with strange ideas from forcing through the level by using clue combinations that are not within the design range.

For example, the star-shaped key that Li Sheng used to open the captain's room just now got stuck in the keyhole and could not be taken out after opening the door. This means that the key has been used up and there is no need to carry it with you.

Another example is a metal magnetic rod. The original intention is to allow players to use the magnetic properties of the rod to get the key placed in a long container that cannot be reached by hand.

As a result, a player with explosive force directly took the rod and knocked out the guard guarding the bottom of the level with one stick, and successfully passed the level.

Although this is not impossible, for fairness considerations, this situation should be avoided.

Speaking of which, the reason why Li Sheng carried this sextant is also very simple-this thing is quite heavy and has sharp corners, so it can be used for self-defense if you encounter danger.

During this period, he has been browsing various fighting techniques on the Internet, learning from many, such as martial arts, Sanda, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, swordsmanship, and also Chen Hegao's unlimited fighting technique.

If necessary, he can take out daily necessities such as steel rulers, scissors, and metal recorders to protect himself.

After all, he has now entered the extraordinary realm. If he uses his body to fight, he may accidentally kill an ordinary person.

"Speaking of which, at 20 degrees north latitude and 75.9 degrees west longitude, this location should be in Cuba? Is there any explanation as to where the last room was measured?"

Li Sheng murmured quietly and observed the room in front of him.

The area of ​​the second room is smaller than the previous room. The interior furnishings are warm, with beige curtains, brown carpets, leather sofas, bookcases filled with various books, a wood-burning fireplace, and a red telephone on the coffee table.

It looks no different from an ordinary middle-class living room.

The only unusual thing is the window. The window frame was sealed, and through the window, one could see the lights flashing outside, a scene of a bustling city.

This secret room is installed on a skyscraper?
