"Good morning, everyone!"

Mr. Zhang greeted everyone at the conference in English, Chinese, and German, which he had learned and sold, and he pretended not to see the resentful eyes of the readers.

Compared to updating two chapters a day, he took ten chapters out in one go as a trial book, which was already very generous, and he originally wanted to publish it directly.

"In order to take care of more people, so this press conference is mainly conducted in English, if there are any inappropriate words or misspelling, I hope you will forgive me!"

Zhang Chu gave everyone a preventive shot, and then began to talk eloquently: "The friends here have more or less read a few chapters, and they probably have a lot of questions in their hearts that they want to ask. However, we won't answer any of the questions today, and if you want to know the answer, you can wait until October 10 to find the results after the launch. ”

"This book is a work, not a work of realism or history, so please keep that in mind as you read it. ”

Everyone still expected to know something from Zhang Chu's mouth, but they didn't expect this guy to be so tight-mouthed that he didn't reveal any news.

At this time, the reporters in the audience finally remembered that they still had to interview, and they didn't come to read the book, so they began to ask: "Zhang Chu, does the Xunshan Hermitage really exist?"

"In the opening part you said that everything is authentic, which means that nothing is made up in it?"

"The Catholic ministry of this book is supposed to be behind it, so why did you write it?"

"So this is a detective? The main character is not a detective, but he has to solve the mystery of the curator's death. ”

In the face of reporters' inquiries, Zhang Chu explained with a smile: "Although the name of this book is called The Da Vinci Code, its content is far beyond your imagination, and it should be explored with 100% unknown, and everyone can fully enjoy the fun of reading!"

In fact, readers have a kind of psychology of craving spoilers but afraid of spoilers, wanting to know where the follow-up highlights are, but worrying that knowing in advance will affect reading.

Now Zhang Chu will not give a detailed answer, will not run out and say that Mary Magdalene at the end is the wife of Jesus, nor will he focus on saying that her body is buried under the Louvre.

He now has a little bad taste, when he repeatedly emphasizes the image of the Louvre and the pyramid in real life and in it, and after reading it, readers will look back at the current press conference, look at the past Weibo or photos, will they have a sudden sense of enlightenment?

"This time, since we didn't prepare an autograph session for everyone, we specially prepared a small gift for everyone. There is a small bag under everyone's seat, which contains souvenirs of the press conference. ”

Originally, the publishing house wanted to find someone to tout "The Da Vinci Code", but Zhang Chu felt that it was completely unnecessary, it looked too blunt and embarrassing!

Anyway, this one will never lack praise, nor will it lack infamy.

Both reporters and readers bent down from under the chairs to take out the prepared bags in unison.

Sun Guoming looked at the contents of the bag curiously, in addition to the exquisite bookmark, it was a smooth white marble cylinder, which looked particularly exquisite.

Six marble discs are stacked on top of each other in a delicate copper frame, like a tubular kaleidoscope.

Not only does this thing have a mysterious appearance, but there are also many patterns carved around it, which has aroused everyone's interest, and each small disc has a series of delicate letters engraved on it, which make up a complete alphabet!

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this requires a five-digit password, but there are 26 letters on each turntable, and there are as many as 11881376 permutations and combinations as passwords, and it is almost impossible to try it out.

"How do you open it?"

"It's something, it looks interesting. ”

"It's kind of interesting, how the hell do you get this thing open!"

A lot of people have made a word out of their hands and want to see if they can open it.

Others probably felt that they had a lot of strength, and pinched the ends of the cylinder with both hands and began to pull it out forcefully, trying to destroy it with brute force.

It's just that they can only be disappointed, and the quality of this gadget is very good!

Zhang Chu introduced at this time: "This is called the Da Vinci code cylinder, which will be involved in it, and as for the password, it will be hidden in it, and you can get the answer by reading it carefully." ”

According to the storyline, the canister hides the biggest secret of the Xunshan Monastery and the entire Christianity, and the canister works just like the number lock on a bicycle, which must be properly lined up to be opened.

Inside, the Louvre curator built it according to the invention designed by Leonardo da Vinci, using machinery to protect information.

If it is forcibly pried open or blown open, the paper containing the secret will be destroyed, and the violent will be defeated.

In this kind of cipher tube, there is generally a glass bottle full of vinegar and a straw paper with a secret written on it, and if you spit it out and force it open, then the glass bottle will be broken, and the vinegar inside will flow out and melt the papyrus, and the secret will disappear forever in the dust of history!

Although I don't know what the password of this thing is for the time being, but everyone present carefully put it away, since it is called Da Vinci Code Tube, it must be related to the main line, and it is completely a commemorative peripheral product!

You can't make much money just selling books, so Zhang Chu's brokerage company, Hanlin Culture Media, tried to apply for a patent after looking for a lock-making company to restore it according to Zhang Chu's description.

I didn't expect that no one in Europe really made something like this, and with money opening the way, the patent application was quickly approved.

It is certainly unrealistic to bring so many cipher tubes from China, and it just so happens that Germany is a very developed country in terms of manufacturing, so Hanlin Culture directly looked for a processing plant in Frankfurt through foreign trade orders, and urgently produced such a batch of peripheral products!

The cost is actually not high, and sending it out is equivalent to advertising, adding a heavyweight player to the peripheral product catalog of Hanlin Culture Media Company.

People who have a lot of money want to buy one more or less after reading the Da Vinci code, whether it is used to propose to his girlfriend or use it in an escape room game.

When he was on the earth, Zhang Chu had a buddy who proposed to his girlfriend who had been in love for five years with a cipher tube, but the girl gave up after trying a bunch of passwords, but fortunately, the buddy said the password himself before taking out the diamond ring.

Since the beginning of "The Legend of Wukong", Hanlin Culture Media has been working hard to expand the variety and design of peripheral products, and now this Da Vinci code cylinder looks very popular!
