Zhang Shou's face was calm, but his heart was filled with confusion. He knew that the correct answer just now should be to make it clear to Zhu Ying that you are the most beautiful. And now he is indeed more and more fond of the lively and lively Zhu Ying.
, also enjoyed this feeling of getting along, but it was not his style to say such disgusting words, so he chose to push the question back.
But Zhu Ying did not say without hesitation that I am the most beautiful and other women would stand aside, but she said that you are the most beautiful...
This style of painting and this speaking skills are really a big deal!
At this moment, not to mention Zhang Kang, Lu Sanlang and Zhu Er were all stunned, even Twelve Rains with different personalities were also surprised. But after a moment of sluggishness, it was these girls who reacted the fastest. Just now
Qingyu, who was so angry at Zhang Shou's song "Xiang Tiange", couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Mr. Zhang is indeed like the bright moon, which makes stars like us dim. The eldest lady is really lucky to have a fiancé like Mr. Zhang who combines the beauty of heaven and earth."
These words obviously sounded like compliments, but upon closer inspection, they hinted at ridicule. Weinan Bo Zhang Kang suddenly frowned, secretly annoyed that Qingyu had no regard for his identity and did not know whether to live or die. However, he did not expect that it was not Zhu Ying who made the case.
It wasn't Zhang Shou, but Zhu Er whom he had almost ignored from the beginning.
"Even if my brother-in-law is the bright moon in the night sky, but when it comes to the stars, they are also other young talents in the capital and even the world. What do you mean by comparing him to you?" Zhu Eryi slapped his hands so that the cups on the table jumped.
He stood up and his voice suddenly became louder, "Besides, the reason why he is where he is today is because of my sister's discerning eye. It's only because he is lucky!"
Lu Sanlang was immediately delighted. Zhu Er's words were quite good. He first praised Zhang Shou, and then praised Zhu Ying. This was the first time he had seen such a superb performance!
Seeing that the other people in the Twelve Rains immediately pulled Qingyu behind them, and then the twelve stunning beauties hurriedly bowed to the ground and apologized, he laughed and said: "The dance is the dance of the devil, and the sound is the sound of Mi Mi, which is really good
, keep up the good work and work hard next time.”
He didn't say what he would try to do next time. When he saw Zhang Kang making a gesture, the frightened Wan Yuanbao came up and kicked Leban and a dozen beauties out. If he wanted to explain something, he stood up and took Wan Yuanbao away.
They kicked him out together, and then they had time to close the door, then turned around and looked at Zhang Kang.
"Uncle, we are old acquaintances. I, Little Fatty Lu, will call you Uncle Zhang. I have already seen Twelve Rains' dance. You asked me to invite the little gentleman here today. What do you want to say?
Just tell me straight away! If you feel that the crowd is getting in the way, I will take Zhu Er away, and you, Miss Zhu, can take care of it yourself. Is that okay?"
Seeing Lu Sanlang standing up and dragging Zhu Er out without any explanation, Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and said to Zhang Shou, "I'm just outside. If anything happens, Shou, please call me." After saying this, she followed out the door.
go.
It wasn't until the door was closed that Zhang Kang smiled dumbly and said: "Dr. Zhang's name has only been known for a few days, but these three people here today are already impressed by you. It really makes countless young talents in the world who are known as talents stunned.
After that. Well, the little fat guy from the Lu family was right, if I keep hiding it, it would be too stingy. Let me show you something."
Zhang Shou originally thought that what Zhang Kang was going to give to him was probably some kind of coded letter. However, unexpectedly, Zhang Kang came to the cabinet in the corner of the room and took out a small box. When he was holding the box, he put it away.
Arriving in front of him, the Weinan uncle casually opened the lid, only to see a circle of densely packed turntables revealed inside.
Just by taking a cursory look, Zhang Shou discovered that most of the digital locks on suitcases in his previous life had three rings, or at most five rings. But now the turntable lock on this box is really spectacular, because there are enough
Fourteen rings.
However, when Zhang Kang turned one of the rings to show him, he discovered that compared with the usual number locks on the password box, there were words on the turntable, and as Zhang Kang turned one ring after another, he discovered that each
One frame contains four characters.
With a thought in his heart, Zhang Shou asked with a smile: "Uncle, you don't want me to help unlock this lock, do you? I would like to ask, has Uncle Uncle found anyone else to try?"
"Of course." Zhang Kang said very seriously, "I have found top locksmiths, but when they learned that it was a lock cylinder made by Korean craftsmen who came across the ocean to study in our country at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China and combined with the wisdom of their predecessors,
There is also a self-destruction mechanism inside, so I don’t dare to use brute force. I also tried many password combinations sleeplessly, but they all failed because I couldn’t spell the known verses.”
"Uncle, it's really impossible to try this simple method of turning characters one by one. Although these fourteen-ring locks use characters instead of numbers from 0 to 9, so there are fewer possible key combinations, but
Each ring has four possibilities, and the total fourteen rings means a total of 268,435,456 permutations and combinations."
Having said this, Zhang Shou couldn't help but sigh. If the three-ring digital lock represents 10*10*10, a total of one thousand permutations and combinations, then the fourteen-ring text code lock means that the number of permutations and combinations has reached four-ten.
The fourth power. Although it is slightly stronger than the fourteen-digit password lock, which has ten to the fourteenth power, and the full one hundred trillion possibilities, it is still enough to make people collapse.
To put it simply, if you try to solve it by moving one by one in a stupid way, assuming you can try sixty times per minute, with so many permutations and combinations, you will need to try for more than 3,000 days and nearly ten years without sleeping 24 hours a day.
time.
Even if you think about it, trying at a constant speed of 60 times per minute is a fool's dream! You might as well hope to get lucky!
Zhang Kang was amazed when he heard the long number that Zhang Shou casually reported. Although what Zhang Shou said was similar to others, saying that there was nothing he could do, Zhang Shou at least persuaded him with a clear number.
After a moment of silence, he whispered: "In the box is a drawing kept in the Ordnance Bureau, which is said to be from Emperor Taizu."
Seeing Zhang Shou's surprised expression, he whispered: "During the turmoil in the early years of Emperor Ruizhong, the key to opening the box was lost. From then on, the box has been shelved until today. Although every generation
Everyone is trying, but everyone is very unlucky and cannot open it no matter what. Master Ge and others also tried, but they all failed."
"Actually, I brought something to you today. No one knows about it. It's not the emperor's order. It's just my whim. So you don't need to think too much. I just hope you can read the details and see if there is any possibility of solving it.
.”
Seeing that Zhang Shou still didn't speak, Zhang Kang sighed: "Actually, if it hadn't been for the news that Dr. Zhang had unlocked the secret letter, I accidentally pondered the words on the turntable and found that they all came from the Thousand-Character Classic.
I won’t treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor and think of asking you for help.”
It wasn't until he heard the three characters "Thousand-Character Classic" that Zhang Shou asked thoughtfully: "Aside from the fourteen characters all coming from the Thousand-Character Classic, are there any other clues?"
"Others..." Zhang Kang was stunned for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "The secret text in the box is said to have been created by Emperor Taizu himself."
Zhang Shou's first reaction was the supposedly hollow plaque inscribed by Taizu in the Jiuzhang Hall of the Imperial Academy. It's not that there are any secret writings, edicts, or even secret box codes hidden there, but he discovered that,
That Taizu, who was talented and strategic, but also quite emotional and even willful in some places, really liked to play these little tricks.
He pondered for a moment, and then said frankly: "To be honest, based on what you said, I feel that there is little hope. I know that it is impossible for you to hand over the box to me, so what are the four words on each link?
Please give me a copy."
Seeing Zhang Kang immediately agreeing with a smile, Zhang Shou thought that he had become a cryptographer and mathematician without knowing it, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. Taking this opportunity, he also made his request.
"But I also have a condition." Without waiting for Zhang Kang to agree or refuse, he said lightly, "I want to see the map. Not the map of Ming Dynasty, but the map of this world. I heard that Eunuch Chu and
Yingying, Lu Sanlang and others have all said that our fleet has been to the farthest countries in the far west, so there must be corresponding maps or nautical charts. I want to see how big the world is."
Zhang Kang originally thought that Zhang Shou would put forward some harsh exchange conditions. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. After a long while, he carefully said: "I can lend you the map of the imperial dynasty for a look, but the map of the world...
Not that easy..."
Zhang Shou interrupted with a smile: "I just need to take a look in person and fulfill a wish. I don't need to borrow it home to study."
Faced with such a simple request, Zhang Kang hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
"Okay, the Ordnance Bureau has always kept various maps of our country. If you want to see them, I can take you to see them tomorrow."
The kind-hearted Zhang Shou only proposed such a simple condition. It would be too unkind for him to bargain again!
"Then thank you uncle for making it happen. I will try my best to give it a try. If I have no clue, I will get back to you as soon as possible!"
Zhang Shou chuckled. He was a little interested in decrypting it, but he wasn't very sure about it. However, this condition was something he had thought of a long time ago. You know, since Chu Kuan and Ge Yong told him certain things one after another
, he had a big doubt.
Large ships have been sailing all over the world for many years. It sounds like the Ming Dynasty's fleet has reached Europe, and I feel that there are some arrogant small countries there. However, the Ottoman Empire should have existed by this time, and it was considered a big overlord, even allowing the later
When Europeans came to China, they had to take a detour to the west, so they discovered America by accident.
So, why did the Ming Dynasty’s fleet think that the Ottoman Empire was a small country?
