Jun Zi took out his gun, but he was worried that the bullet might damage the treasure box, so he didn't aim at it. Instead, he planned to shoot past the side of the box to see the effect.

As Jun Zi pulled the trigger, an orange-yellow bullet flew out of the chamber, but it quickly fell back to the ground, just as the arrows had before—unable to penetrate the protective force.
At this, Song Tianqi and the others were all dumbfounded. The treasure was right before their eyes, yet frustratingly out of reach. At this moment, Jun Zi looked at the height of the armillary sphere and said to Song Tianqi, "Third Master Song, should I... climb up there and take a look?"
"Let me do it."
Jun Zi's agility was not on par with Song Tianqi's. Rather than sending Jun Zi up, it would be more sensible for him himself to go. Moreover, the armillary sphere constantly rotated and wasn't stationary. A single miscalculation could result in being flung out by the mechanism.
