"Yangyang, what kind of box is this? Can it be opened?"
Li Cheng also became a little nervous. This was something found in the ancestral house. This was a real family heirloom, but why it was hidden under the bed board was unknown, and neither his father nor they knew about it.
Li Yang shook his head. There were only small wooden blocks connected together on the box, and there was no opening.
"Li Yang, what on earth is this?"
Wang Jiajia frowned slightly. The box looked strange to her, and her reporter's unique sensitivity told her that this box was not simple.
"That's it, Yangyang, what on earth is this?"
Li Cheng also frowned. The box looked pretty good, but what he was most curious about was what was in the box.
This box has been kept in this old bed for who knows how long. If Li Yang hadn't suggested moving the bed out this time and wiping off all the dust on the bed board, it might not have been discovered. When I came to clean the old house before,
No one thought about cleaning this bed board.
"This is a mechanism box. It cannot be opened by ordinary methods. Only by assembling the puzzle pieces on it into a complete image can it be possible to open this mechanism box!"
Li Yang said softly. From the moment he discovered this box, Li Yang knew that it was a mechanism box. The mechanism inside was very complicated and it also had a self-destruction device. There was a lot of powder stored in one place inside the box.
There is also a layer of sticky grease in the interlayer.
If Li Yang guessed correctly, these powders might be gunpowder and the like. Those oils can be ignited. If damaged by external force, the box will explode and burn, destroying the contents inside.
"Mechanism box?"
Wang Jiajia said softly, and several people were stunned. They were cleaning their hometown, and unexpectedly they swept out a mechanism box. It seemed that it was left by Grandpa Li Yang.
"Yangyang, can you open this mechanism box?"
Li Cheng asked again, and Li Yang sighed softly and shook his head slowly: "I saw the introduction of the mechanism box in a book, so I knew it was a mechanism box, but how to open it, I now
I really don’t know!”
Li Yang didn't lie this time, he told the truth. When he saw the box, Li Yang also tried to put the pictures back together, and he tried it under the three-dimensional picture with special abilities.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make it the same, which made him very depressed.
"How about we go back and ask our dad, maybe he knows?"
Fang Shuqin stood nearby and said something. Li Yang looked up at the sky and finally nodded.
He originally wanted to go back to Mingyang today to pay homage to his grandfather, see the old house, but now it seems that it is impossible. Li Yang also wants to go back and ask his father what is going on with this mechanism box.
The golden nanmu machine box in front of me is different from the emerald snuff bottle last time. The emerald snuff bottle was found underground at home, but the house was not built by them, but was allocated by the school. That snuff bottle was
It can only be said that Hu was lucky enough to be met by Li Yang.
This mechanism box is a real family heirloom. It was found in his old house. This house and the wooden bed on which the mechanism box was found are both belonging to Grandpa Li Yang. This mechanism box is also very likely to be his.
Li Yang's grandfather put it inside.
"Jiajia, we may not be able to go back today!"
Li Yang whispered to Wang Jiajia. Wang Jiajia chuckled and shook her head without paying any attention.
The five people locked the outer door and drove two cars back to the county town. Li Yang originally planned to go back to Mingyang directly, so Li Chengcheng drove his Audi car here.
It was already after five o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to the county seat. Li Junshan and his wife were surprised for a while when they saw Li Yang coming back.
In the living room of the temporary dormitory, several people were sitting around the table. Li Junshan's face was full of confusion.
"Dad, haven't you seen this thing before?"
Li Cheng frowned and asked. They brought the mechanism box back just to ask Li Junshan. Unexpectedly, Li Junshan had no impression of this mechanism box at all, which surprised Li Yang.
"No, I really haven't seen it. Is this really found in your grandfather's old bed?"
Li Junshan shook his head and asked Li Cheng a question. Looking at Li Junshan's confused look, Li Yang knew that his father did not know that there was such a mechanism box at home.
Li Yang was not that curious about the mechanism box. What made him most curious was the small notebook inside. There was a lot of Japanese written on it. It was a pity that Li Yang didn't understand Japanese, otherwise he would have known what was written on it.
"Yes, we were cleaning today. Yangyang and Liu Gang took out the big bed and cleaned it thoroughly. Unexpectedly, we saw a slit after cleaning, so we opened it and took a look. This box was found inside.
By the way, Yangyang said this is a mechanism box!"
Li Cheng briefly told what happened in the afternoon, and Li Junshan also sighed. He went home and cleaned many times, but he never thought about cleaning the bed board of the big bed, so he never discovered that there was something else under the bed board.
"I really have never seen this thing, and I haven't heard your grandfather say it. Maybe your uncle knows, but it's a pity that he left too early!"
Li Junshan shook his head regretfully. Li Yang knew that they had an uncle who passed away ten years ago. Uncle Li Yang only had one daughter, and this daughter was married out of town. Now there is no one in the uncle's family in Licheng.
"Whether you knew it before or not, this is always a treasure in our family. Yangyang, is this thing a treasure?"
He Ailing stood up and said that she was very thoughtful. Since she found something in her hometown, it must belong to the Li family. It doesn't matter how it came from.
"This is a mechanism box made of golden nanmu. It should have a history of more than three hundred years and is very well preserved. Even if this mechanism box cannot be opened, it is worth more than 500,000 yuan. If it can be opened, it should be even higher!
"
Li Yang hesitated for a while, and finally told the value of the box. For Li Yang, the value of the mechanism box was still secondary. What was important was the contents inside. Those Japanese records always made Li Yang feel itchy.
"So valuable!"
He Ailing was stunned for a moment, Li Cheng and Fang Shuqin were also stunned for a moment, Liu Gang and Wang Jiajia were only slightly surprised, and had no other expressions.
"This box is so valuable, so is there something more valuable in it?"
Li Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up. When he said this, He Ailing and Fang Shuqin also looked very excited. After hearing that the box required a puzzle to open, several people immediately started studying the puzzle on the box, hoping to open it as soon as possible.
Let's see what treasures are hidden inside.
In response, Li Yang just shook his head helplessly and did not stop him.
Only he knew that there was only a notebook in this box, and it was not a special treasure. Unfortunately, Li Yang didn't know what was written in the notebook.
We kept struggling until after nine o'clock in the evening, and only a few people finally gave up. The mechanism box was still in its original shape, and even with so many people together, they couldn't put it together properly.
Li Yang and Wang Jiajia stayed at the hotel that night. After lunch the next day, Li Yang left Licheng. When he left, he took the mechanism box with him.
Li Yang couldn't open the box, so he could only place his hope on Mr. He. No one in the family objected to Li Yang taking the mechanism box, especially Li Junshan, who supported Li Yang's move because he knew Mr. He very well.
identity.
However, Li Junshan also said that if you really can't open it, don't force it. After all, this is what Grandpa Li Yang left behind, and its meaning is more important than the value of the box itself.
The car arrived in Mingyang soon. After arriving, Li Yang put Wang Jiajia on the train first. Her vacation had expired and she had to go to work tomorrow. She had to rush back to make preparations today.
"Old man, I'm back!"
Holding the mechanism box in his arms, Li Yang quickly walked into the villa. As usual, the old man was sitting under the big tree in the yard, leisurely drinking tea and reading. While reading, he liked to write down something with his pen from time to time.
"You are back, are your family still satisfied with Jiajia?"
Seeing Li Yang, Mr. He immediately put down the book in his hand, sat up straight with a smile, but his eyes fell on Li Yang's hand.
This machine box is not big, a little bigger than an ordinary popular magazine, but much thicker than the magazine. The thickness of the entire box is about ten centimeters.
"Satisfied, very satisfied, almost too satisfied. No one at home can help me now, they all help Jiajia!"
Li Yang smiled and sat opposite the old man. The old man laughed again and glanced at the mechanism box in Li Yang's hand.
"The mechanism box of golden nanmu?"
The old man screamed in surprise. Just now he only saw a box and didn't see it clearly. After Li Yang sat down, he could tell what it was at a glance.
Li Yang stretched out his thumb, put the mechanism box on the table, and said with a smile: "The old man is really sharp-eyed. I found this in my hometown when I went back this time. It is indeed a mechanism box made of golden nanmu.
, I estimate that this box has a history of more than three hundred years, but it’s a pity that we can’t open it!”
"No, this is not an ordinary switch box, nor is it a two-phase switch box. This is a very rare four-phase switch box. Was it really found in your old house?"
The old man shook his head again, but did not raise his head. He was still carefully looking at the small wooden blocks on the mechanism box.
"Yes, Liu Gang discovered this thing first today. Old man, what is a four-phase switch box?"
Li Yang hurriedly asked again, and the old man finally raised his head this time, his expression still a little serious.
"Generally, the puzzle boxes only have one kind of puzzle, which can be solved by ordinary people as long as they put in a little effort. There is also a more complicated mechanism box that requires two kinds of puzzles to be solved at the same time. Senior experts in this kind of mechanism box can also hope to solve it.
Open it, I have unlocked a two-phase mechanism box!"
Mr. He pointed to the small box on the table again: "The four-phase switch box requires four puzzles to be solved at the same time. If there is a problem in any of the pieces, all the previous efforts will be wasted. This kind of switch box is the most complicated and the most troublesome to calculate.
I’ve only heard of such a mechanism box, but I’ve never tried it!”
"So troublesome?"
Li Yang frowned. In his eyes, the old man was the most knowledgeable person. After the old man said this, Li Yang no longer had as much confidence in opening the box.
The old man nodded and asked Li Yang to take the box and follow him to the study room.
In the study room, the old man first took out a book from the desk drawer and asked Li Yang to take a look at it first. He sat in front of the sofa and carefully studied the four-phase switch box. The four-phase switch box was indeed complicated.
The old man thought about taking action several times, but in the end he frowned.
It took several minutes before the old man moved two of the small wooden blocks. This was much slower than Li Yang's family members who just put it together haphazardly.
Li Yang sat next to the old man. He did not watch the old man crack the code, but looked at the ancient book carefully.
There are only four words on the cover of the ancient book, "Qiu Yin Qiao Ji", and the word "Thirteen" behind it. Li Yang estimates that this is a complete set, but he doesn't know if the old man has this complete set of ancient books here.
Li Yang started to look through the contents of the ancient books from the back. Reading ancient books was different from what it is now. When he first started reading, Li Yang was a little uncomfortable with it.
After reading for a while, Li Yang got used to it, but soon he was completely attracted by the content in the ancient book.
This book only introduces one thing, and that is all kinds of mechanism boxes. According to the book, there are dozens of types of mechanism boxes. In addition to this kind of puzzle mechanism box, there are also flowing mechanism boxes and inlaid mechanism boxes.
Maze machine box, etc.
Among various types of puzzle boxes, puzzle boxes are the most common, and puzzle boxes are also divided into several categories.
The most common one is a puzzle box. This type of puzzle box generally has not many small wooden grids used for puzzles. There are nine, eighteen, and the most is thirty-six.
This is the kind of mechanism box that the old man said that ordinary people can crack with a little effort.
In addition to this simplest one, there are also two-phase switch boxes, four-phase switch boxes and the legendary eight-phase switch box.
Two-phase puzzles are two kinds of puzzles that are put together in memory at the same time. They must be put together at the same time before they can be opened. This is already very professional. Ordinary people would never even think about opening such a mechanism box. Only a few experts can slowly analyze it.
The difference is that it can be cracked successfully. Mr. He is an expert who can crack such a mechanism box.
The two-phase closing box is generally composed of 72 or 81 small wooden grids.
The two-phase switch is already complicated enough, let alone the four-phase switch. In the book, the four-phase switch box is rated very highly, saying that it is very difficult to do with all human power, so the four-phase switch is
The cracking explanation is also very simple.
Because of the complexity of the four-phase lock box, the number of small wooden grids used as puzzle pieces is also much larger. The minimum number is 108 pieces, and the maximum number is more than 300 pieces.
As for the eight-phase lock box, it is something that only exists in legends. The book introduces very little. It only states that the eight-phase lock box requires at least more than 500 puzzle pieces. Even the author who wrote this book did not listen.
I have said that there is such a mechanism box.
