Chapter 1136: Administering “strong medicine”

From this, Chu Yunfeng realized that the box actually concealed a huge secret, and it was so hidden that it was extremely difficult to discover.

Moreover, this thing is so hidden that people can't detect it at all. If you don't pay attention to it at the beginning, you will definitely be completely insulated from this treasure.

Chu Yunfeng felt lucky after learning about it. If the two elders hadn't been careful, I'm afraid this secret would never be revealed!
At the beginning, the two elders kept looking for a breakthrough on the box, but they looked at the box with a magnifying glass hundreds of times and found nothing.

Next, some ray scans were used, but nothing was gained. Finally, the light and shadow detector was used, but no results were found. This result made the two elders feel a little depressed and decadent.

Could it be that the thinking is wrong?

But it's impossible. A message has been left on the painting. If the entire box doesn't match, then leaving such a message is meaningless.

So when the two elders had no clue, they suddenly saw the wooden strips that Chu Yunfeng took out of the box.

So the two people immediately opened their minds and thought that this might be an extremely clever strategy, and the answer should be on these wooden strips.

Anyone else would definitely not care about these removed wooden strips, because these things would have no sense of existence after being removed.

And this is also a paralyzing misunderstanding. If Mr. Liang hadn't accidentally touched these wooden bars with his hand, and the sound it made was like a bolt of lightning, which made people realize, the research might have been terminated.

In order to prove that this guess was correct, the two elders began to study these wooden strips, and the methods used on the box were also applied to the wooden strips.

But the final result showed that it had no effect, and there was nothing found on the wooden strips.

But the second elder was not discouraged, but thought of another possibility, that is a concealed method!

Anyone who has watched spy movies should have the impression that when our comrades working underground received a note, they found that it was blank.

But when the note is put into the potion, the writing will appear, so is this method also used on this wooden strip?
Okay, then the question is, if this method is really used on the wooden strips, then it will be a big challenge for decryption!
Wooden strips are different from paper strips. If you want to hide information on them, it is very easy to read them. However, once you start to read them, the things they reveal will disappear quickly.

This is determined by the material of the wood. It may have been done intentionally when hiding the treasure. Anyway, it can only be read once. If it fails or is missed, then the treasure will be lost!
So after the two elders figured this out, they immediately didn't dare to experiment easily anymore. What if the potion was wrong and the information hidden on it was lost?
And there is another very important problem, that is, the wooden strips are all one by one. Before the hidden information is revealed, it is impossible to know how to arrange them.

There are no marks or information on the wooden strips, so you can only wait until the information is revealed and take pictures immediately, and finally give it to the computer for combination.

So I have to say that today's technology is very advanced. If it were in the past, you might have to take a photo first and then develop the photo.

In the end, it can only be drawn by hand, and then compared and combined, which will definitely take a long time.

So the two elders immediately handed over the wooden sticks to the old professor of the Department of Chemical Engineering for analysis. The old friend also thought it was amazing when he received this job. Analyzing the chemical composition on the wooden sticks?

What the hell are you doing?
The two elders didn't tell the truth, so this made people feel a little strange, but they were both knowledgeable people and would definitely not think that the other party was joking.

So after a series of professional tests, it was indeed found that there were chemical components on the surface of the wooden strips, which immediately made my old friend feel incredible!

The two elders immediately became excited, which showed that their guess was correct and they were getting closer to the hidden secret!

This is a secret that no one has solved for many years. It is very attractive to these cultural people, so after learning the chemical composition of the wooden stick, the two people immediately grabbed the wooden stick and ran away. .

He even forgot to say hello. He was so fast that people couldn't believe that these two old men were in such good health?
It was so unkind to leave old friends alone in the laboratory and immediately despise them after they realized what they were doing.

They had already understood the experiment done by their old friend just now, so they were more cautious after returning and did all the wooden strips again.

It was found that without exception, there was a layer of such chemical composition on it, and each wooden strip had four sides, but only one side had such a composition.

No doubt!

The second old man started laughing and rubbed his hands, ready to start working!
A shocking secret is about to appear. Anyone would be excited and unable to bear it, but before starting, preparations must be made.

In the past, our underground workers used starch when writing small notes, so when the starch came into contact with iodine, blue would appear and the writing would appear.

Of course, other chemical ingredients are also possible, but the wood strips are very special, and starch is definitely not acceptable.

That involves the issue of shelf life. If it is written with something like starch, it might disappear after just a few months.

Then this important information cannot be preserved, so the chemical component used here is phenolphthalein. If you spray it with ammonia, red fonts will appear.

Of course, according to the chemical properties of phenolphthalein, as long as it is an alkaline solution, ammonia is the best choice.

At this time, all preparations had been made. The two elders looked at each other and looked at the three high-definition cameras placed around them. There was another one above their heads. They were fully prepared.

Of course, the two of them also had a camera hanging on their chests, which showed how careful they were.

"Puff puff."

Mr. Liang first carefully sprayed a little ammonia on one of the wooden bars, and then the two of them opened their eyes wide and started cheering within two seconds.

Sure enough, the red pattern appeared on the wooden bar. It was indeed a pattern, some were big or small, but it was just a wooden bar, so there was no clue at all.

Taking pictures, taking pictures, the two quickly picked up the box and started taking pictures. They took pictures hard and for free. Each of them took at least twenty or thirty pictures before stopping.

Then he continued in the same way and processed all the remaining wooden strips.

Finally, all the information was obtained from these wooden strips, and then all was copied into the computer and analyzed.

After subsequent analysis by the computer, these patterns formed a landscape. This is a mountain, and there are some mountain ranges around it, but it is impossible to tell where it is.

However, the second elder began to get more and more excited. Then he took out the map from the previous painting and adjusted the two to the same proportion, and a brand new picture appeared.

The lines on those maps miraculously overlapped with these patterns, clearly marking the edges of the mountains and rivers. Moreover, it could be discovered that there were special marks in some places.

Nazi symbol!

There were three Nazi symbols on this picture, clearly indicating that this was where the treasure should be hidden, and the two elders immediately clapped their hands in celebration.

"Hahahaha"

I didn’t expect that I, Lao Gu, would have such a glorious day and be able to find out this shocking secret. It’s unbelievable, it’s really unbelievable!
Mr. Gu was also very excited. After all, it took more than a week to sort out the clues bit by bit. The whole process was very enjoyable.

"Do you see anything? This mountain looks very familiar now?

If I read it correctly, it should be that very famous mountain called the Alps, located in Austria.

Hurry up and compare the maps, hurry up, my heart will be hanging in the air until it is finalized! "

Mr. Liang was excited at the moment, his hands were trembling, and he immediately started the comparison work.

After a full hour, the two finally determined that this location was in the Alps, and they started roaring wildly.

Such a discovery is so amazing and so exciting that I can't stop being excited.

But after the excitement was over, the two elders began to calm down again. The location was found, but it was not that simple to explore it.

And it is even more difficult to bring things back!
You can tell with your toes that if you go there openly, those European countries will definitely not let you bring things back from under your nose.

Although it is said that treasures discovered abroad are privately owned, is this an ordinary treasure?
When those who keep saying that private property is sacrosanct, they openly take away the assets of polar bears. This is not as simple as a slap in the face.

This is the lie that has been lying for many years has been directly exposed, and their true nature has been exposed. The logic of gangsters is the most direct evidence.

If you want to fool the Chinese people, I'm not as stupid as you!

Therefore, the two elders had no choice but to tell Chu Yunfeng the news. Presumably, the little guy who can save things in the military camp must have some means!

Chu Yunfeng was also surprised when he got the news. He didn't expect that it was actually decrypted?

Moreover, there was a real Nazi treasure, and it was in that famous mountain range. The excited Chu Yunfeng also acted very calmly.

Just like the second elder thought, those things are not like paintings that can be taken away casually. It is impossible to move things away without dispatching a large number of vehicles and aircraft.

How could such a big move not attract others' attention?

What's more, now his whereabouts are definitely being closely watched by Duke Dalton. Once he takes action, it will definitely be a wedding dress for others.

But there is good news, that is, the information on the wooden strips has disappeared, and no matter what potion is used to spray it, it will not show up again.

Then this will be of great help to my plan. Doesn't the Duke want the box?
Then pay some price, I’ll give you an empty box, take it and study it yourself!

As for Hitler’s paintings?

Just give it all to you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to make a big bet. If you make a big bet, you will be happy.

But before giving it to you, I have to ask the second elder to deal with the information hidden in the self-portrait, so that this secret should not be exposed!

It is actually very simple to get the Duke to approve these things. Then it will depend on how you perform the scene well!

I have a key piece of evidence in my hand that can prove that these things are "in perfect condition". It depends on how our Lord Duke negotiates this deal!
At present, it seems that as Teacher Jin said, the Duke's collection is indeed extremely arrogant. Judging from the final appraisal results of the three teachers, I still take it for granted.

The estimated value of these Chinese collections is around 3000 billion, which is significantly different from the previous estimate of around 2000 billion.

The key to this is that the three teachers really underestimated the value of those top collections, especially the appearance of many priceless national treasure-level cultural relics, which made people drool.

So the question is, if you want to take all these things back, you should exchange them for things of equal value.

Except for Hitler's paintings, the previous estimated value of the other paintings was around 1500 billion. However, if the premium is included, it would be between 1800 billion and 2000 billion.

If it exceeds this number, the Duke is not a fool, and he will not exchange so many things with himself.

The price difference is around 1000 billion, not 1000 yuan, so the final result still needs to be discussed before we know it.

The appraisal team invited by the Duke today was indeed extremely luxurious, with eight people in total, and after they got their hands on it, they unanimously identified the item as genuine.

This made the Duke very proud, thinking that this was a ploy by Chu Yunfeng and the others to put pressure on themselves during negotiations.

But after the three teachers presented the key evidence, the eight appraisers present could not calm down for a moment, and then quickly conducted verification according to the method taught by the teachers.

The Duke's excited expression a second ago disappeared, his face was full of embarrassment, and his expression became a little serious. When he looked at these appraisers again, his eyes were very unkind.

Chu Yunfeng guessed that he must be muttering silently in his heart: "Repay me for the appraisal fee, and also add compensation!"

After the intense and orderly appraisal was completed, the eight appraisal experts were completely dumbfounded. Only then did they realize how sophisticated the other party's fraud methods were, which was completely beyond their imagination.

Especially for that painting, the paper used was from the Song Dynasty, and the paint was almost out of print, which shows how high the cost of counterfeiting was.

However, a fake is a fake and cannot contain any moisture. In the end, Chu Yunfeng's half-smiling look made the Duke look "hurt".

Since the item is a fake, it is not considered within the normal value, so the Duke directly spoke: "Mr. Chu, so many days have passed, hasn't the box arrived in China yet?

I asked you for express delivery information before and you didn't give it to me. Isn't there any sincerity in cooperation between us? "

Sincerity?

When Chu Yunfeng saw the Duke talking about these two words at all times, he was filled with doubts in his heart, and then he replied bluntly: "It's almost time, it should be here tomorrow.

Now that everything has a calculated value, is it time to make a trade? "

This is a normal and reasonable process. However, the Duke did not seem to want to start the "sincerity" he said, but immediately stopped him and said: "Not yet, the transaction will not proceed until the box is seen. !”

"why?"

Chu Yunfeng asked, pretending to be ignorant, secretly observing how this fat sheep would perform.

But the Duke's mouth was much tighter now. No matter how Chu Yunfeng tried to test and tease him, he was not exposed at all, but Chu Yunfeng decided to stimulate him.

So Chu Yunfeng pretended to be casual and said: "By the way, I just heard from three teachers that since so many paintings were found in the box, it is very likely that there are some secrets hidden in the box.

After waiting, they should study it first and show it to the Duke later! "

With such a simple sentence, the Duke instantly lost his nerve and immediately became anxious and angry.
