Chapter 245: The Devil Cries and the Wolf Howls
However, in order to open this mechanism, it will take a little bit of manipulation.
This mechanism is very exquisitely made,The control point of the mechanism is at the tip of the tail of the monkey-like statue at the bottom of the totem pole,Judging from the ability to see through the eye of the sky,The tip of the monkey's tail is active,As long as the tip of the tail is rotated 180 degrees in a clockwise direction,And then press down,You can open this mechanism,Let the treasure hidden in the hollow space under the totem pole emerge from the bottom of the totem pole。
However, in order to turn the tip of the monkey's tail, it is necessary to pull out a wooden wedge that is not much thicker than the lead of a ballpoint pen. If you don't pull out this wooden wedge, the tip of the monkey's tail will not be able to turn at all.
The wooden wedge is very thin, deeply inserted into the totem pole, and the exposed part of the outside has been completely integrated with the carved marks of the monkey's tail, plus there is a pulp, even if you look closely, it is difficult to see.
If it weren't for the ability to see through the eyes of the sky, Yang Jing would not have been able to find this wooden wedge anyway.
Seeing Yang Jing let out a sigh and stand up straight, the fat man leaned up and asked, "Old Yang, how is it, have you found anything?"
Yang Jing nodded and said: "This totem pole is really not simple, there is an extremely elaborate mechanism in it, I searched for a long time to find the key to the control of this mechanism." ”
"Wow, could this totem pole be transformed into a Fabergé egg by that Russian?" Lin Dan said excitedly.
Yang Jing shook his head with a smile and said, "This totem pole definitely can't be compared to Fabergé Easter eggs, but in terms of the sophistication of this mechanism, I don't think it's much worse than Fabergé Easter eggs." ”
The Fabergé egg is a national treasure of Russia and is famous all over the world. In addition to the exquisite craftsmanship of this kind of easter egg, the most amazing thing is the exquisite mechanism.
Yang Jing said that the mechanism in this totem pole is no worse than the mechanism of Fabergé Easter egg, which is enough to show the ingenuity of this mechanism.
"Fatty, find me some tools, an awl, a wallpaper knife, tweezers, and I'd better find a magnifying glass......"
The fat man walked out with a muttering mouth, and after a while, he walked in with a bag of tools.
Yang Jing thanked him, took out a piece of fine sandpaper from his bag, and began to gently rub it at the tip of the monkey's tail.
"I said Lao Yang, you wipe here with sandpaper so directly, isn't this destroying the pulp?" The fat man shouted as soon as he saw Yang Jing's movements.
Yang Jing stopped the movement in his hand, raised his head to look at the fat man, shook his head speechlessly, and said: "Alas, fat man, I don't want to do this either!" But there is no way, according to my observation, the key control point of the organ is in this position, but if you don't wipe off the pulp, that key point can't be moved at all. ”
The fat man spread his hands, "Okay, just as I didn't say anything." ”
Yang Jing lowered his head again, and after a while, he picked up a sharp tweezer, and under the gaze of everyone, he pinched out a round wooden wedge about two centimeters long and about the same thickness as a ballpoint pen lead from the tip of the monkey's tail.
Lin Dan asked curiously, "Brother Yang, what is this?"
Yang Jing smiled and said: "This should be a wooden wedge, with the existence of this little thing, this organ can't be rotated like this." ”
As he spoke, Yang Jing's hand exerted a slight force, and everyone saw that the tip of the tail actually began to turn.
Chris and the others also let out a surprised "wow", and Lin Dan couldn't wait to burrow his head into it, but Yang Jing pushed it away very unceremoniously.
"Why are you so close? Are you short-sighted?" Yang Jing said angrily while turning the monkey's tail slowly.
Lin Dan smiled wryly: "Brother Yang, aren't I excited!"
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "You're excited now, don't be excited for a while!"
As he spoke, Yang Jing exerted another force in his hand, and pressed the monkey's tail, which had rotated 180 degrees clockwise, down sharply, and then everyone heard a crisp "gaba" sound, and the next moment, the bottom of the totem pole, which originally looked like a flat one, actually fell down in response......
Yang Jing put down the tool, picked up the fallen piece of wood and looked at it carefully, looked at it for a while, and then put down the totem pole, and looked at the hole for a long time before exclaiming: "It's really ingenious." ”
The fallen piece of wood is nearly ten centimeters long and about three centimeters in diameter, and is located exactly in the center of this miniature totem pole.
This miniature totem pole is carved from Manzanita logs and is not painted or painted. The upper end of the totem pole is carved so that the rings are not visible, and the bottom surface is exactly a cross-section, so the rings of Manzanita wood are completely exposed.
And this piece of fallen wood is located in the center of the log, where the annual rings are most concentrated, and the edge of this piece of wood happens to coincide with one of the annual rings, if you don't take a magnifying glass to look closely, it is really difficult to see that there is a piece of wood here is alone.
I don't think anyone is idle to look at the annual rings with a magnifying glass, so it's a surprise that the exit of this mechanism is placed here.
If it weren't for Yang Jing's ability to see through the sky, he wouldn't have imagined that the exit of the mechanism would be here.
The fat man poked Yang Jing excitedly, "Old Yang, let's see what good things are in it!
Lin Dan and Ricks all had the same expression.
Yang Jing nodded, took out a long small hook and a flashlight from the toolkit, and put the hook in with the flashlight.
When the hook hooked the contents and pulled them out, everyone found that there was a slender sheepskin bag hidden inside.
Yang Jing put down his tools, grabbed the rope at the mouth of the sheepskin bag and pulled it slightly, and the hemp rope that had already rotted was suddenly broken. Yang Jing held the mouth of the bag with his hand and put the bag upright, and suddenly, several gems with dazzling light fell on Yang Jing's palm.
"I rely on ......"
"Shet ......"
"Oh buy ga......"
Suddenly there was a howl of ghosts and wolves in the room, and the six people, including the fat man, all involuntarily spewed out the most accustomed verbal language. Even Yang Jing was flashed by that light.
Even if he was prepared, when he saw these eight dazzling gems with his own eyes, he couldn't help but shout "Mamma Mia!" in his heart.
The smallest of the eight gems, the purple diamond, was the size of a larger quail egg, and the largest sapphire was larger than a pigeon's egg.
The most important thing is that although these eight gemstones are all rough stones, whether it is color or clarity, they are definitely the best kind, and once cut, they are definitely the best gemstones.
The two cornflower sapphires, blue with purple in the blue, pure and immaculate, really like velvet, those two rubies, bright and dazzling, red make people can't help but boil their blood, the pink diamond, also makes people can't help but look away, as for the smallest purple diamond, the rich, mysterious and noble violet color, can simply attract people's eyes......
In contrast, the two rough diamonds, which are not small in size but are colorless, are not so attractive.
These eight gems are all uncarved rough stones, but even if they are rough stones, suddenly there are eight gemstones of such a large size, which is enough to make people can't help but shout "Jesus Christ" and "Buddha Bodhisattva".
When the shock and panic passed, several people all came together, and even Chris couldn't resist the charm of these eight gems.
Several people's eyes were all focused on the smallest purple diamond rough, and Lin Dan asked in disbelief: "Brother Yang, could this youngest little guy be the legendary purple diamond?"
Yang Jing picked up the purple diamond, pinched it steadily with his index finger and middle finger, and said with a smile: "That's right, this diamond should be the legendary purple diamond!"
Diamonds are recognized as the most valuable gemstones in the world, and among diamonds, colored diamonds are even more valuable, and among colored diamonds, there is no one rarest than purple diamonds.
Lin Dan said excitedly: "Brother Yang, this purple diamond rough is twenty carats, right? If it is cut, it can at least have ten carats, right?"
Yang Jing nodded and said, "Almost, if this purple diamond rough is cut, there should be ten carats left!"
The fat man ate and said, "Ten carats of purple diamonds, then you can't sell them for 100 million?"
Lin Dan glanced at the fat man with disdain and said, "100 million? Fat brother, are you talking about national currency?"
The fat man blinked and asked, "100 million yuan is not enough? That's more than 10 million dollars!"
Lin Dan laughed twice, "Fat brother, you are wrong when you say that! Although there was a purple diamond of less than three carats two years ago, and the purple diamond was also auctioned for four million dollars, the three-carat purple diamond is not even worthy of the shoes of the 10-carat purple diamond! The three-carat purple diamond can be auctioned for 4 million US dollars, but it does not mean that the 10-carat purple diamond can be auctioned for more than 10 million US dollars. If you want me to say, if this purple diamond rough is really cut, as long as it is auctioned, 50 million US dollars is just the starting price!"
The fat man was startled, "50 million dollars? Isn't that more than 300 million dollars?"
Lin Dan nodded and said, "This is the lowest estimate. I remember seven or eight years ago, Sotheby's auctioned a pink diamond called the Graff Pink Diamond in Geneva, Switzerland, which weighed nearly 25 carats, and sold for more than $46 million. However, the price of pink diamonds is far less than the price of purple diamonds, not to mention that our purple diamonds are the best in terms of color and clarity, so if this purple diamond is cut out for auction, its value is definitely not lower than that 25 carat Graf pink diamond!
As soon as the fat man heard this, he couldn't help but pat his chest and performed a "choppy" live. "My God, can such a little gadget be sold for 300 million? My brother, you are a bull! Brother, I will never help my little brother when I pee in the future, and I will only obey you in the future......"
