Zhang Shou's face was calm, but his heart was simply a capital word. He knew that the correct answer just now should be to make it clear to Zhu Ying, you are the best. And now he does have a better and more fond of the lively and bright Zhu Ying, and he also enjoys this feeling of getting along, but when he says this kind of fleshy words, it is not his style, so he chose to push this question back.

But Zhu Ying didn't hesitate to say that I am the best-looking, and the other women are standing aside, but that you are the best-looking......

This style of painting, this style of speech, is really a big lady!

And at this moment, not to mention Zhang Kang and Lu Sanlang Zhu Er were dumbfounded, even the twelve rains with different personalities were all surprised. But after a moment of sluggishness, these girls reacted the fastest. Qingyu, who had just been angry with Zhang Shou's song to the sky, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Zhang Gongzi is indeed like the bright moon, which makes stars like us dim. The eldest lady is really blessed to have a fiancé like Zhang Gongzi, who combines heaven and earth and Zhong Lingyu. ”

These words are naturally compliments when they are heard, but they are implied to ridicule under the careful taste, and Weinan Bo Zhang Kang suddenly frowned slightly, secretly annoyed that Qingyu disregarded his identity and did not know whether he was alive or dead. However, he didn't expect that it was not Zhu Ying or Zhang Shou who started the shooting, but Zhu Er, whom he almost ignored from the beginning.

"Even if my brother-in-law is the night sky and the moon, but if you want to talk about the stars, it is also other young talents in the capital and even in the world, what do you mean by comparing him with you?" Zhu Eryi slapped the cups on the table and jumped up, and his voice suddenly became louder, "Besides, he can have today, it is also thanks to my sister's discernment, he is blessed!" ”

Lu Saburo was suddenly happy. Zhu Er's level is okay, first praised Zhang Shou, and then praised Zhu Ying, this kind of super-level performance, this is the first time he has seen it!

Seeing that the other people in the twelve rains suddenly pulled Qingyu behind him, and then the twelve stunning beauties hurriedly saluted in unison to apologize, he smiled and said: "The dance is the dance of the heavenly demons, and the sound is the sound of the charm, it is really good, make persistent efforts, and work hard next time." ”

He didn't say what to work hard next time, seeing that Zhang Kang made a gesture, the frightened Wan Yuan Bao came up, blasted Le Ban and more than a dozen beauties out, and wanted to come up to explain something, so he stood up directly and threw Wan Yuan Bao together, and then went to close the door in a good time, and then turned around to look at Zhang Kang.

"Uncle, we are old acquaintances, and I, Lu Xiaochubby, will honestly and unceremoniously call you Uncle Zhang. I've already seen the dance of the twelve rains, you asked me to invite the little gentleman alive and dead today, if you have anything to say, just say it directly! If you feel that idle people are in the way, Zhu Er, I will pull it away, Miss Zhu, you can do it yourself, this is always okay, right? ”

Seeing Lu Sanlang standing up and dragging Zhu Er out without saying anything, Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment, but lowered her head and said to Zhang Shou: "I'm outside, you call me if you have something to do." With that, she went out with her.

It wasn't until the door was closed that Zhang Kang smiled dumbly and said: "Dr. Zhang's name has only been known for many days, and the three of you here today alone have already impressed you, which really makes countless young talents in the world who are known as talents stunned." Well, the little fat man of the Lu family is right, if I hide it again, it will be too stingy. I'll show you something. ”

Zhang Shou thought that what Zhang Kang was going to give to himself was probably something like a password letter. However, unexpectedly, Zhang Kang came to the cabinet in the corner of the room and took a small box from it. When he held the box in front of him, this Wei Nanbo opened the lid casually, only to see a dense circle of turntables exposed.

Just a cursory look, Zhang Shou found that most of the digital locks of those suitcases in his previous life were three rings, at most five rings, and at this time, the turntable lock on this box was really spectacular, because there were fourteen rings.

However, when Zhang Kang turned one of the rings to show him, he found that compared with the digital lock on the usual lockbox, the turntable was full of text, and as Zhang Kang turned it one by one, he found that each box was four characters.

As soon as his heart moved, Zhang Shou asked with a smile: "Uncle won't want me to help unlock this lock, right?" I want to ask, has Uncle asked 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 built by Goryeo craftsmen who traveled across the ocean to study in our dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, combined with the wisdom of their predecessors, and there was a self-destruction mechanism in it, they didn't dare to use brute force." I've also had people try a lot of password combinations without sleep, but they all fail. Because, you can't spell out those known verses. ”

"Uncle, it's really impossible to turn the words one by one to try this kind of dirt method. Although the fourteen rings use words, not numbers from 0 to 9, so there are fewer possible key combinations, but each ring has four possibilities, and the full fourteen rings mean 268435456 permutations. ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Shou couldn't help but sigh a little, if the three-ring digital lock represents 10*10*10, a total of 1,000 permutations and combinations, the fourteen-ring text combination lock means that the number of permutations and combinations has reached the fourteenth power of four. Although the probability of a hundred trillion is slightly stronger than that of a fourteen-digit password lock, which is ten to the fourteenth power, it is enough to make people collapse.

To put it simply, if you rely on a stupid method to unravel it one by one, assuming that you can try sixty times a minute, you will need to try more than 3,000 days, nearly ten years, without sleep 24 hours a day.

I also know that 60 attempts per minute at a constant speed is a fool's dream! It's better to count on luck!

Zhang Shou casually reported the long number, and Zhang Kang was amazed when he heard it. Although Zhang Shou said similar things as others, all of them meant that there was no way out, but Zhang Shou at least persuaded him with a clear number. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "Inside the box is a drawing kept in the Ordnance Bureau, which is said to be from Emperor Taizu. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou really showed a surprised expression, he said in a low voice: "In the turmoil in the early years of Emperor Ruizong, the text of the key to open the box was lost, and since then, this box has been shelved until today. Although every generation is trying, everyone's luck is very bad, and they can't open it anyway. Master Ge and the others also came to try, but they all failed. ”

"Actually, I came to you today with something, no one knows, and 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 go into detail and see if there is a possibility of unraveling it. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou still didn't speak, Zhang Kang sighed and said: "Actually, if it weren't for the news that Dr. Zhang had uncovered the secret letter after it spread, I inadvertently pondered the words on this turntable and found that they were all from a thousand-character text, and I wouldn't have thought of turning to you for help as a dead horse doctor." ”

It wasn't until he heard the three words of the thousand-character text that Zhang Shou asked thoughtfully: "In addition to the fourteen characters all from the thousand-character text, what other clues are there?" ”

"Other ......" Zhang Kang was slightly stunned, and then said thoughtfully, "The secret text of the box is said to have been set up by Emperor Taizu himself. ”

Zhang Shou's first reaction was the Taizu inscription plaque in the Jiuzhang Hall of Guozijian that was said to be hollow. It's not that there are any secret edicts or even such secret box passwords hidden there, but he found that the Taizu, who is very talented and strategic, but is quite emotional and even willful in some places, really likes to play these little famous halls.

He pondered for a moment, and then said calmly: "To be honest, based on what you said, I think there is little hope. I know that you can't give me the box, so you can give me a copy of the four words on each of these rings. ”

Seeing Zhang Kang immediately smiled and agreed, Zhang Shou thought that he had really become a cryptographer and mathematician unconsciously, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. And taking advantage of this opportunity, he also made his own request.

"But I have a condition." Without waiting for Zhang Kang to say yes or no, he said lightly, "I want to see the map." It's not the map of the Ming Dynasty, but the map of the world. I heard that Gonggong Chu and Yingying Lu Saburo both said that my fleet has been as far as the country in the extreme west, so there must be a corresponding map or nautical chart, and I want to see how big the world is. ”

Zhang Kang thought that Zhang Shou would propose some harsh quid pro quo, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. After a long while, he said carefully: "I can lend you a view of the imperial map, but the map of the world is not so easy to ......."

Zhang Shou interrupted with a smile: "I just need to take a look in person and fulfill a wish, and I don't need to borrow it to study at home." ”

Faced with such a simple request, Zhang Kang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Well, the Armory Bureau has always hidden all kinds of maps of our dynasty. If you want to see it, I can take you to see it tomorrow. ”

The kind-hearted Zhang Shou only put forward such a simple condition, and if he bargained again, it would be too unkind!

"Then thank you Uncle for making it happen. I'll try my best. If you don't have a clue, I'll get back to you as soon as possible! ”

Zhang Shou smiled. He was a little interested in decryption, but he wasn't very sure, and this condition was something he had already thought of. You must know that since Chu Kuan and Ge Yong had said certain things to him one after another, he had a lot of doubts.

The big ships have been sailing all over the world for some years, and the fleet of the Ming Dynasty sounds like it has reached Europe, and it seems that there are all small countries that are arrogant. However, the Ottoman Empire should have existed in these years, and it was considered a major hegemon, so that even later Europeans who came to China had to make a detour to the west, so that they accidentally discovered the Americas.

So, how could the fleet of the Ming Dynasty feel that the Ottoman Empire was a small country?
