"Mr. Tony, something big has happened!" That morning, Tangning had just gotten up, and Vanessa, the housekeeper of Nicole's family, came over to him in a panic and said to him.
Because Nicole asked her to help take care of the manor before leaving, Tangning quickly asked, "Vanessa, what happened?"
"Madam, Madam's safe has been stolen!" Vanessa replied stutteringly.
"Did you call the police? What was missing inside? Has it been stolen from other places?" Tangning asked quickly.
Vanessa answered one by one: "Call the police. I don't know what is missing, because I don't know what is in the safe. I don't know about other places for the time being, because this morning I love
When Mei went to clean the lady's room, she saw the safe was opened, so she quickly came over and told me, I sent old Ted to call the police, and then I came to you! "
"Let's go, I'll go take a look with you!"
When Tangning arrived at Nicole's manor, she found that the police had also arrived, and nothing was missing except the safe. As for what was missing, she could only send Nicole a message to ask her or wait for the police to catch the thief.
Moreover.
In fact, long before this incident happened, Tang Ning was very dissatisfied with the safes of this era, because in his opinion, the safes of this era had taken a wrong path, that is, they only focused on fire protection and constantly developed various types of safes.
They use fireproof materials such as asbestos to make and package safes, but they forget what needs to be paid more attention to, which is anti-theft! There is even a saying among thieves that "safes are filled with easy money", because this
The locks for safes during this period were too simple, and even Tang Ning herself felt that she could use two pieces of iron wire to poke through the lock...
Therefore, this kind of safe must be improved. Otherwise, although my home is not like Nicole's home, where the owner is absent, it gives thieves the opportunity to sneak in and steal, but I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Many of my ideas from the "future" are
I put it in the safe. It would be troublesome if I lost it!
It's a pity that although Tang Ning knows about combination lock safes, the problem is that he doesn't know how to do it, and he doesn't even know the principles behind it, so he can't even imitate it!
Just when Tangning was frowning and thinking hard, Heidi came over and reminded: "Tony, don't forget to go to City Paper at ten o'clock to sign a contract with Levine and Miss Melina!"
Tangning raised her hand and glanced at her watch and said, "I know, there's still nearly an hour left..."
But before she finished speaking, an idea suddenly flashed in Tang Ning's mind. Yes, isn't the multi-code dial of the combination lock safe based on the principle of a clock? (The earliest rotary-type combination lock was around 1900.
Invented, and with the help of Swiss watch craftsmanship.)
Thinking of this, Tangning stood up excitedly and said to Heidi, "Dear, please go to City Paper to sign a contract for me. I have a very important thing to do!"
After going out for a run, Tangning found an old locksmith and a watchmaker, especially the watchmaker Larry, who was said to have learned his skills in Switzerland.
Tangning signed a contract with the two of them, then took out her draft and said to them: "I invited you two to design a lock that combines the characteristics of a clock. Can you see if you can make it?"
Larry took a look at the design drawing and found that the principle of this lock was very similar to that of a clock, especially the outermost dial containing the 0-39 scale, which looked almost the same as a clock. The real test of difficulty was that these three
The design of the discs and corresponding grooves, as well as the springs of the lock bolt and lock pin are also very difficult.
Although there was a certain degree of difficulty, Larry and Neil, the old locksmith, discussed it and gave Tangning a definite answer: "Mr. Tangning, the lock you want is indeed difficult, but I believe that Old Ni and I
We can definitely make it, but you have to give us some time!"
"Don't worry, as long as you can do it!" Tang Ning reassured.
After Larry and the old locksmith Neil left, Heidi came over with a smile and joked: "Tony, I think you will regret not signing the contract today!"
"Oh? Why? What happened?" Tangning asked curiously.
Heidi nodded and replied: "Of course, because Miss Anderson is very beautiful and completely matches your aesthetic!"
"Well, I'm now past the age where I'm easily attracted to women, so this isn't something I'll regret!" Tang Ning explained.
After a period of time, Larry and Neil made the turntable combination lock as expected. Tangning tried it out, and then gave the two of them bonuses when they were satisfied. Then she pointed to the safe in the corner and said, "Go on."
The first step is to find a way to install this lock on the safe, and then the task is completed!"
Only then did Neil, the old locksmith, suddenly realize: "I asked Mr. Tangning why you asked us to make this kind of lock. Originally, I was thinking about where such a complicated lock could be used, but it turned out to be a safe! This is amazing.
What a genius design!
Because this kind of safe is different from traditional safes, it not only requires a key, but also a three-digit password. The key may be stolen or copied, but as long as you don't tell the password, it will kill thieves and those who
People with ulterior motives can't get it, so the safety and confidentiality of this kind of safe are really too high."
But then he changed the topic and said: "But this will also increase the cost of the safe, and it is estimated that many people will not be able to afford it!"
Tangning smiled disapprovingly and said, "Originally, I didn't plan to sell this kind of safe to ordinary people, but for those rich people, as long as it can guarantee safety, they will buy it no matter how expensive it is!"
"But what if the thief takes away the entire safe?" Larry interjected.
Tangning laughed and said, "This kind of iron safe weighs one to two hundred pounds. How can a thief move it? If he has the chance to move such a big thing, then he is not a thief but a robber! Otherwise
Let’s just weld the safe’s legs to the ground so no one can move it away this time, right?”
"What if you forget your password?" Larry asked again.
Tangning spread her hands and replied helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. We can only remind the customer to hide the password in a place where no one can find it. For example, make a mark in a book that only he understands or find someone he can absolutely trust.
Someone will help him remember it. If it doesn’t work, there is a last resort, that is, you can find a worker to smash open the safe in front of you, and then buy a new one!”
Just as Larry was about to say something else, the old locksmith Neil pulled him: "These are not issues for us to consider. What we have to do now is to install the combination lock on the safe according to Mr. Downing's requirements!"
