"Good morning everyone!"

Zhang Chu greeted everyone at the press conference in English, Chinese and German that he learned and sold. He pretended not to see the readers' resentful eyes. .

Compared to updating two chapters a day, he took out ten chapters in one breath as a trial reading book and was already generous. He originally wanted to publish them directly.

"In order to take care of more people, this press conference is mainly held in English. If there are any inappropriate words or wrong pronunciation, I hope everyone will forgive me!"

Zhang Chu gave everyone a vaccination, and then began to talk: "The friends here have read more or less a few chapters, and probably have many questions in their minds to ask. However, they will not answer any question today. If you want to know the answer, then wait until the novel is launched on October 10 and then go to the novel to find the results."

"This book is a novel, not a realistic or historical work. Please keep this in mind when reading it."

Everyone was hoping to know something from Zhang Chu, but they didn't expect that this guy was so nervous that he didn't reveal any news.

The reporters in the audience finally remembered that they had to interview and were not specifically here to read books. They began to ask: "Zhang Chu, does the Xunshan Secret Cultivation Society really exist?"

"At the beginning of the novel, you say everything is real and credible, which means nothing is made up in it?"

"The Catholic Ministry of the Book should be behind the scenes, so why do you write this book?"

"So is this a detective novel? Although the protagonist's profession is not a detective, it has to solve the mystery of the director's death."

Facing the reporter's inquiry, Zhang Chu explained with a smile: "Although the name of this book is called Da Vinci Code, its content is far beyond your imagination. It should be explored with 100% unknown, so that everyone can fully enjoy the fun of reading!"

In fact, readers have a mentality of longing for spoilers but are afraid of spoilers. They want to know what the highlights of the novel follow-up, but they are worried that they will know in advance and affect reading.

Now Zhang Chu will not give a detailed answer, and will not run out to say that Mary Magdalene at the end of the novel is Jesus' wife, nor will she emphasize that her body is buried under the Louvre.

He now has a small bad taste. When he repeatedly emphasizes the images of the Louvre and the pyramids in his novels in real life, he will look back at the current press conference after reading the novel, and look at the past micro blogs or photos. Will he feel like he suddenly realizes it?

"This time, since we didn't prepare a signature session for everyone, we specially prepared a small gift for everyone. There was a small bag under our seats, which contained souvenirs for the press conference."

Originally, the publisher wanted to find someone to praise "The Da Vinci Code", but Zhang Chu felt that there was no need for this at all, as it would look too stiff and embarrassing!

Anyway, this novel will never lack praise or infamy.

Both the reporter and the readers bent down and took out the prepared bag from under the seat and chair, with uniform movements.

Sun Guoming looked at the things inside the bag curiously. In addition to the exquisite bookmarks, it was a smooth white marble cylinder, which looked particularly delicate.

A delicate copper frame is stacked with six marble discs, like a tubular kaleidoscope.

Not only does this thing look mysterious, but there are many patterns carved around it, which aroused everyone's interest. Each small disc carved a series of exquisite letters, which form a complete alphabet!

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that this requires a five-digit password, but each turntable has 26 letters, and there are as many as 11881376 types of password arrangements and combinations, so it is almost impossible to try it out.

"How to open it?"

"What's this, it looks quite interesting."

"It's interesting, how can I get this thing open!"

Many people have made a word out casually, wanting to see if it can be opened.

Some people probably feel that they are very strong, so they pinch the ends of the code barrel with both hands and start pulling them out with force, trying to destroy them with brute force.

But they all had to return in disappointment, 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 the novel. As for the password, it will be hidden in the novel. You can get the answer by reading it carefully."

According to the plot, the code barrel hides a scroll of paper about the Xunshan Senatorial Society and even the biggest secrets of Christianity. The code barrel works like the number locks on a bicycle, and must be arranged in a correct row to open.

In the novel, this was built by the director of the Louvre according to the invention designed by Leonardo da Vinci, and used mechanical means to protect information.

If it is forced to pry or explode, the paper with secrets written inside will be destroyed, which will make the violent lose all the effort.

In this kind of code barrel, there is usually a glass bottle filled with vinegar and straw paper with secrets written on it. If you spit it and force it to open it, the glass bottle will break, the vinegar inside will flow out and melt the papyrus, and the secret will disappear in the dust of history forever!

Although I don’t know what the password of this thing is, everyone present carefully put it away. Since it is called Da Vinci password, it must be related to the main line of the novel, and it is a completely commemorative peripheral product!

Selling books alone can’t make much money, so Zhang Chu’s agency Hanlin Culture Media, based on Zhang Chu’s description, then went to find a lock-making company to restore it and tried to apply for a patent.

Unexpectedly, no one in Europe created something similar. With money opening the way, the patent application was quickly passed.

It is definitely unrealistic to bring so many crypto cylinders from China. Germany is a country with very developed manufacturing industry, so Hanlin Culture directly searched for a processing factory in Frankfurt through foreign trade orders and urgently produced such a batch of peripheral products!

The cost is actually not high. Giving it out is equivalent to advertising and adding a heavyweight contestant to the Hanlin Culture Media Company's peripheral product catalog.

People with a wealthy job want to buy one after reading the Da Vinci password, whether it is used to propose to their girlfriends or to use it in the escape room game.

When he was on Earth, Zhang Chu had a friend who used a password barrel to propose to his girlfriend who had been in love for five years. However, the girl gave up after trying a bunch of passwords. Fortunately, the guy said the password himself before taking out the diamond ring.
