I was framed for taking the civil service exam, so I joined the National Security Bureau

Chapter 255

"What's going on? My head hurts."

"Boss... are we in hell? It's so dark here."

"Fuck you, we were ambushed by that damn reporter, and we were all hit by clubs. Ouch, my neck hurts."

"Where did that damn reporter go?"

"Damn, he must have gone inside. Lao Wu, Lao Quan, turn on the searchlight quickly, I must catch him."

The voices coming from outside the cave turned out to be those security guards who were stunned by Geng Jianhui's electric baton. I didn't expect them to wake up so quickly.

Geng Jianhui heard the voices of the security guards after they woke up, and he shouted in his heart that it was not good. Although these security guards were not very strong, if they were discovered by these security guards, their actions would be greatly hindered.

He looked at Zhang Xing nervously, and when he was about to ask what to do next, he saw Zhang Xing with a mysterious look on his face, and asked in a low voice:

"Team leader, is there any place in this cave that we haven't searched yet?"

Geng Jianhui was already very anxious. After all, the voices outside were getting closer and closer. It was obvious that the security guards must have rushed towards the cave.

And Zhang Xing's question was a bit incoherent, so Geng Jianhui responded casually: "I have searched everywhere in this cave."

However, this sentence shocked Zhang Xing's eyes, and he suddenly shook his head vigorously.

Zhang Xing's eyes became unusually firm and sharp. He stretched out his fingers and pointed at the ground above and below the cave, saying: "No, there are still above and below that we haven't searched!"

Geng Jianhui was a little stunned for a while, thinking secretly about what Zhang Xing said. He looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel curious and confused.

Seeing Geng Jianhui lost in thought, Zhang Xing continued, "Team Leader, you see, we have been searching for a long time in this cave, but we have not been able to find any trace of the experimental base. However, there are blood bats gathering and broken bones here, which clearly indicates that there is something abnormal in this area.

Now, we have carefully searched the surroundings of the cave, and only the upper and lower sides of the cave have not been searched. Above the cave are hard cliffs and rocks, which do not have the conditions for building an experimental base. Therefore, we can boldly infer that the experimental base is very likely to be hidden below the location of this cave. In other words, the experimental base is located underground where the cave is located, and there must be a mechanism in this cave that can open the passage to the underground experimental base."

Zhang Xing's reasoning made Geng Jianhui's eyes light up, and he began to re-examine the surrounding environment. He realized that their own thinking may have been limited before, and some key clues were ignored.

Geng Jianhui listened to Zhang Xing's analysis, frowned, thought for a while and nodded:

"That makes sense, but this cave is very large and the environment is complex. Even if we know that the experimental base is most likely hidden in the underground layer at this location, if we can't find the location of the mechanism, we will definitely not be able to enter. But where is the location of this mechanism?"

Zhang Xing thought for a moment and said:

"We can start from some unusual places in the cave, such as those strange stones, the marks on the wall or the depressions on the ground. These places may have clues to the hidden mechanism."

The two immediately began to re-examine every detail in the cave. They carefully observed each stone, gently touched the marks on the wall with their hands, and looked for possible depressions on the ground. Time was running out, and the security guards outside might enter the cave at any time, and they were getting more and more nervous.

Geng Jianhui suddenly stopped, squatted down, and stared at a stone. He noticed that there were some slight cracks around the stone, and the position of the stone looked a bit strange, as if it was not placed here naturally.

"Zhang Xing, come and take a look at this stone. Is there something wrong?" Geng Jianhui shouted to Zhang Xing anxiously.

Zhang Xing walked over quickly, squatted down and observed the stone carefully, then frowned and shook his head and said:

"Not sure, but we can try to push it."

The two of them pushed the stone together, using all their strength, but the stone did not move at all. Just when they were confused, the sound from outside became clearer and clearer, making their hearts rise to their throats.

"Boss, let's go back quickly. This sunken area is too dangerous. Accidents may happen at any time!"

"No, that damn reporter is probably hiding in the stone cave in front. I understand now that there are no ghosts along the way. It's all that guy who's playing tricks on us. We must catch him today.Stop him! "

The footsteps and conversations of the security guards were getting closer and closer, as if they would rush into the cave in the next second. Geng Jianhui's face became more and more anxious, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were full of worry. He looked at Zhang Xing anxiously, and was about to tell Zhang Xing to deal with the security guards first, so as not to break into the cave and ruin the big thing.

However, at this moment, Zhang Xing made an unexpected move-he turned around and walked to a rock wall behind the stone, standing quietly, as if he was concentrating on observing something.

Geng Jianhui was a little confused, but he followed quickly. When he came to Zhang Xing, he found that this rock wall was covered with some strange symbols and patterns. These symbols and patterns contained many Arabic numerals, some mathematical figures and some science-related calculation formulas.

Geng Jianhui couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are these? "

Zhang Xing frowned and shook his head, saying: "It's not clear yet, but I always feel that these graphics and numbers seem to be related to some form of code."

Geng Jianhui was startled: "What form of code?"

Zhang Xing did not continue to respond to Geng Jianhui's question. His eyes were fixed on these symbols and patterns. His brain was working fast, recalling the knowledge he had learned when he was studying cryptography.

In the mysterious field of cryptography, especially in the world of Morse cryptography, different symbols and patterns often carry unique meanings.

They convey all kinds of information through intricate and exquisite arrangements and combinations. Zhang Xing keenly noticed that these symbols and patterns on the rock wall were extremely similar to some symbol pattern codes he had seen in a professional cryptography book.

That book deeply analyzed the Morse cryptography. The mystery of symbols and patterns in cryptography, each symbol seems to be a key to unlock the treasure of information.

Zhang Xing stared at each symbol and pattern intently, not daring to miss even the slightest detail. His eyes swept back and forth on the rock wall, trying his best to find the hidden rules in it.

These symbols are of different shapes and sizes, some are like winding snakes, some are like twisted vines, and some are like complex geometric figures, giving people a mysterious feeling.

Each symbol exudes a unique atmosphere, as if it contains endless wisdom and power. Some of the symbols are arranged very neatly, like carefully designed patterns; Other symbols seemed chaotic and confusing.

Zhang Xing stared at these symbols with a focused and firm gaze. He believed that there must be important information or clues hidden behind these symbols, but it would take time to interpret them. He approached the rock wall, carefully stretched out his fingers, gently touched the symbols and patterns, and felt their texture. The touch from his fingertips made him feel the real existence of these symbols, and made him more confident in his judgment.

Zhang Xing closed his eyes, and various cryptographic theories and methods emerged in his mind. He knew that it was not easy to solve this mystery, and he needed to use the knowledge and skills he had learned. He remembered Morse. The basic principle of the code - different letters and numbers are represented by a combination of dots and dashes.

So he opened his eyes and carefully observed the symbols on the rock wall again, looking for possible combinations of dots and dashes.

Some symbols look like short line segments, which may represent dots; while some symbols look like longer line segments, which may represent dashes. Zhang Xing silently gestured in his mind, trying to convert these symbols into a combination of dots and dashes in Morse code. However, due to the large number of symbols and their complex shapes, it is not easy to find the correct combination.

As he thought, he said to himself: "If this is a dot and that is a dash, then what will they be combined into? "

He kept trying different combinations, his brain was like a high-speed computer, time passed by, the footsteps of the security guards outside were getting closer and closer, and a tense atmosphere filled the cave.

Zhang Xing frowned, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He knew that time was running out, but he also understood that cracking the code required patience and carefulness.

He continued to think deeply, recalling some special combination rules and code tables in Morse code. He began to compare the symbols on the rock wall with the code table to find possible correspondences.

Sometimes, a symbol may represent multiple letters or numbers, which requires judgment based on the context, which may contain thousands or even tens of thousands of combinations.

For inexperienced code breakers, it takes a lot of time to calculate, but for those with excellent talent, they may be able to identify thousands of combinations with just one glance.Choose only one from thousands of combinations.

Zhang Xing is undoubtedly the one with the best talent in cryptography. Jiang Yu specially sent him to the cryptography group to study because Zhang Xing has terrible talents in calculation and reasoning, and these two talents are also the most important talents in the field of cryptography.

While Geng Jianhui was still concentrating on being vigilant against the security guards outside the cave, he suddenly heard Zhang Xing shout calmly:

"The risk of password cracking is high, don't do illegal activities. Keep security awareness in mind, and protect the information by everyone."

"Open it for me!"
