455. Chapter 455: What the hell is inside

Jiang Yue wanted to despise Ye Fan, but he said that he was too lazy to poke, but soon Jiang Yue was attracted by Ye Fan's actions, not only Jiang Yue, but also Elore and others looked at Ye Fan curiously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Ye Shao, what about you picking cicada larvae? Jiang Yue asked curiously, when he poked it just now, it felt very hard at first, but after piercing the layer of rust outside, the inside was suddenly empty, and it turned out that this unicorn was actually hollow. What's in there?

Also, how did Ye Fan know? It was amazing that he had accurately found the hole eye from the rusty bottom.

Zhu Bowei was also very curious, so he came over and stared at Ye Fan deadly.

At this moment, Ye Fan was very entangled, although Ye Fan discovered the secret of this iron unicorn, but if you want to open it, it is indeed more difficult, of course, Ye Fan can choose to destroy it with external force, as long as Ye Fan is careful, there is still no problem. But Ye Fan now wants to crack the mechanism inside, because this is something that Ye Fan is very interested in, the Luban Mechanism, which is one of the simpler ones.

When Ye Fan took the train, he once met a couple of Tujia people on the train, and the toy they carried with them was an extremely simple Luban lock, which was made by an old carpenter of the Tujia family, with a total of six wooden sticks, each of which had a cut, and also standardized the order on each stick.

But the whole carriage was involved, and no one could assemble it, even the beautiful conductor came to join in the fun, and the funniest thing was that the couple who joined the family didn't even know how to assemble it.

You know, there are only six pieces of wood, and the order of installation is marked, and the structure of the wood is also very simple, but no one can assemble it, which shows how mysterious it is, since then, Ye Fan has developed a strong interest in Luban's technique.

Although it is Luban's technique, in fact, it is a general term, which is a summary of various techniques.

Mechanism is the representative of the name of ancient science and technology, production, life or military, and even all the need for the shadow, the use of mechanical power, clever control of things, to achieve magical results, mechanism from the ancient craftsmen of the deep observation and thinking of nature, after thousands of years of accumulation and evolution, profound and mysterious.

I didn't expect to meet here today, Ye Fan suddenly became interested, this iron unicorn is using the Luban technique.

Ye Fan used the perspective eye to study the structure of the mechanism in the unicorn, and then performed calculations in the brain, and at the same time, Ye Fan used his fingers to constantly test to see if it could be opened, the mechanism and modern mechanical principles have the same place, but there are also differences, in contrast, the mechanism is more subtle, and the simplest things are used to construct complex structures.

After tossing for a while, Ye Fan stopped to rest, Eloel did not speak, but stared at the iron qilin, she guessed that the things contained in it must be ordinary, but what is it?

Zhu Bowei stared at it for a while, and said coldly: "Ye Fan, are you playing tricks, right? It's just such a rusty slag, you have to be so mysterious." ”

"You know the, it's definitely good stuff, although I don't know what's in there. Jiang Yue glared at Zhu Bowei coldly. "Ye Shao, hurry up and get it, I really want to see what is in it. ”

Ye Fan smiled and said, "This unicorn is closed with a mechanical technique, I am trying to find a way to open it, it is a bit difficult, I have to think about it." "The most powerful thing in the mechanism is the simplest thing, constructing a complex structure, which Ye Fan admires the wisdom of the ancients very much.

When I think of what is inside, I feel that it is indeed worth protecting with such a mysterious technique.

Zhu Bowei quietly called all the old experts of the auction over, and asked the old experts to wait beside him, as long as Ye Fan took out the contents and immediately asked the old experts to identify them. At this time, Zhu Bowei also wanted to know what was inside, and even cast an iron unicorn to protect it.

Not long after the auction started, the old experts had already been called several times, and they complained, opening an auction, we who belong to the backstage service, are always called around, what's going on? But when they saw Ye Fan and Tie Qilin, the unhappiness just now disappeared immediately, their eyes began to glow, and they were also looking forward to what was in the Qilin.

Ye Fan lit a cigarette, rested a little, and said, "It's a pity that there is no key, otherwise, it would have been opened a long time ago." Ye Fan guessed that when this unicorn was passed down, the key had already been lost, and the current owner didn't know that there was a hole inside the unicorn.

Otherwise, it won't be auctioned.

Ye Fan asked the people around him for an ear digging spoon, then reached into the hole and began to play with it carefully, just like picking a lock.

It was busy for five minutes, more difficult than Ye Fan to open the mechanical lock, suddenly, Ye Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, violently twisted the ear digging spoon, a slight mechanical friction sound came, the unicorn slowly cracked from beginning to end, because of the age, plus too much rust, the speed of cracking was very slow, Ye Fan put his fingers in and twisted it a few times, just like clockwork.

Under the stunned eyes of everyone, the iron unicorn slowly cracked, before it cracked, there was not the slightest crack on the surface, and the crack opening was misplaced, such an ingenious design, so that everyone was extremely surprised, so superb craftsmanship, the wisdom of the ancients was really strong.

But soon, when the contents appeared, everyone was dumbfounded, and compared to the contents of the inside, the exquisitely made iron unicorn was like a fart.

Ye Fan, who already knew what was inside, focused on the mechanism, there were only eighteen parts in it, there were gears and something like a lever, but the structure was very exquisite, which made Ye Fan learn a lot of things.

"Oh my God!" everyone let out a burst of exclamations, their eyes were about to pop out, they originally thought that it was filled with treasures such as treasure jade and night pearls, but what they didn't expect was that it was a golden scroll full of colorful tones, about twenty centimeters wide, in addition, there were two things similar to official seals under the scroll, one was cast in gold, and the other was carved in jade.

No wonder this thing feels heavy, it turns out that although it is empty, there is a heavy amount of gold.

Ye Fan took out the official seal very casually, stuffed it into Elo'er, and then took out the scroll, opened it in a decent manner, and then said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." ”

Holy Decree!

It turned out to be an incomparably noble holy decree, and everyone was stunned, staring at the holy decree in Ye Fan's hand with dead eyes.

The old experts were about to recur when they were stimulated, so they came to the front and said tremblingly: "The jade shaft holy decree, this is the holy decree issued by the emperor to the first rank of the great people, it is too precious." ”

"Manchu and Chinese two languages, Manchu line from left to right, Chinese line from right to left, the middle of the date written, this is the Daoguang period, Daoguang Emperor issued a holy decree to a product of Dayuan, too precious, priceless treasure. The old experts were so excited that they almost fainted, when they saw the bronze mirror just now, they had already opened their eyes, and they called Sansheng lucky, and now they saw the holy decree again, and they didn't know what words to use to describe their excitement.

There are a lot of holy decrees handed down, but they are all relatively ordinary goods, and the holy decree that Ye Fan took out is the holy decree issued by the emperor to a product of the great staff, using the highest level of specifications in the holy decree, the material is very exquisite, using the best silk woven silk brocade fabric, the pattern is magnificent, and the color is very rich, because the richer the color, the more high-end.

"Priceless treasure, priceless treasure!" The old experts were so excited that they were about to shed tears, as antique appraisers, their biggest dream was to be able to identify a rare treasure by hand, today they have witnessed a rare bronze mirror, and now they have seen the incomparably noble holy decree.

To put it mildly, they are dead without regrets.

"A few old gentlemen, help me estimate the price. Ye Fan said with a smile, Ye Fan knew very well in his heart that although the holy decree was lofty, people now like to measure it by money, and they just took this opportunity to promote the treasure of the town store.

What is the treasure of the town store? There are two requirements that must be met, one is that the treasure must be very tall and very rare, and the other is that it must be well-known. If no one else knows, it's not a treasure of the town.

The old experts took a few breaths, calmed down their excitement and said slowly: "The holy decree of the Qing Dynasty is still relatively large, and the price is relatively cheap, of course, it is all general goods, the price ranges from 100,000 to hundreds of thousands, but when it comes to major events or holy decrees such as adding officials to the knighthood, the price is much higher. ”

More than 10 million!

These words were like thunder, and everyone present was stunned.

The old expert continued: "That is the price of seven or eight years ago, the holy decree is very appreciated, in addition to the noble, there is also a very high artistic value, this workmanship and materials, are called the best, especially this jade shaft, with the best Hetian jade, this piece of jade, alone, is worth millions." ”

"Based on the current market conditions, the price is estimated to have doubled. The old expert continued.

The people who were stunned just now haven't come to their senses, and they were stunned again by the words of the old expert.

The old expert said to Ye Fan: "This gentleman, can you let me take a look at those two official seals? Under normal circumstances, the official seals of the first-class officials of the Qing Dynasty are all cast in silver, but yours are made of gold and jade, which are very precious, and it is estimated that the price is not much lower than the Holy Decree." ”
