Chapter 558

During the Western Zhou tomb, the digital password carved on the bronze coffin was also translated by Zhang Lin.

This digital password also let people all over the world know that the time the owner of the bronze coffin truly woke up should be the end of the Qing Dynasty!

1896528 is also the final deadline password for the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box!

Now, the principle of the password jumping on the box in Zhang Lin's hand is exactly the same as that.

But in just a few hours, the time changed three times; if we look at the rule that the changes of the living thing inside the box affect the password, the thing inside the box should already be in the final stage of change!

In this stage, the things inside change violently, which also leads to changes in the password on the box.

The three numbers translated by Zhang Lin are very strange.

44640, 44610, 44580.

They present a decreasing trend, and the interval between each number is thirty, which is very much like an extremely accurate countdown.

Which is timing once every half hour!

If calculated in minutes, there is still one month left until the countdown ends!

According to the intuitive display, this box is actually more advanced than King Zhou Mu's.

At least the logical thinking of displaying time in here is an evolved version!

This thing is actually something only Zhang Lin can have the most intuitive feeling about when translating the password on the box.

Because whether it is King Zhou Mu's or the one in his hand, the only one who can accurately translate it now is Zhang Lin.

When Zhang Lin translated the password for the bronze coffin and got 1896528, the whole internet was busy being shocked that this time was so close to everyone, but very few people discovered that the logic inside was actually not sound!

The most terrifying point is that the year 1896 is the Gregorian calendar era!

In the era of King Zhou Mu, there was no Gregorian calendar era.

The universality of the Gregorian calendar era comes from the birth of Jesus, which has nothing to do with Easterners.

The ancient calendar methods of the Xia country were never the Gregorian calendar era, but the emperor's reign title.

Therefore, according to basic logic, the numbers on the bronze coffin could absolutely not be translated into a precise Gregorian calendar era like 1896.

When he heard it at Sanqing Garden, many people hadn't reacted to this problem, so naturally, there were no questions.

But as time passed, more and more people liked to study Zhang Lin's storytelling content.

After repeatedly watching the recordings of his storytelling, they had already discovered this problem!

In the forums and posts about Zhang Lin's storytelling, this problem has always been at the top of the list, and there is still no accurate answer to this day.

But there are definitely smart people; the explanation they gave is roughly that this number is Zhang Lin's translation.

This translation is not just simply translating strange symbols or characters.

It also involves the evolution and calculation of dynasties, and the derivation of corresponding eras!

In short, this process is very complex!

Zhang Lin can calculate it easily, but if he were asked to explain it, he would probably have to write an academic paper.

From the Zhou Dynasty to the modern historical period, the use of calendars would all have to be listed!

In short, the Gregorian year 1896 was calculated by Zhang Lin and then translated for the entire internet to hear.

King Zhou Mu's Dragon-Patterned Stone Box itself does not have the function of the Gregorian calendar era!

This is also why, when the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box first appeared, it was during the Northern Wei Emperor Xiaowen's period.

After the stone box was discovered, people found that there were no gaps on the box, and it couldn't be opened no matter what.

So they treated it as a treasure and sent it into the palace!

This box definitely wasn't opened in Emperor Xiaowen's hands, but the emperor bestowed rewards, added titles of the second rank to these treasure-givers, rewarded each with a hundred taels of gold, and rewarded the whole camp!

Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty perished, dynasties changed, and the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box disappeared.

The next time it appeared in records was during the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period.

Emperor Qianlong summoned a large group of ministers to open the stone box, but later he killed everyone who participated!

From these records, it can be seen that at least this stone box was not successfully opened in the hands of the two emperors.

You must know that the subordinates of feudal emperors gathered the most powerful talents in the world, and they were also the smartest brains.

But even these think tanks gathered together couldn't open the stone box, which shows how exquisite the box made by King Zhou Mu was.

Of course, there is one most important reason, which is that the end time of the password on the box actually points to the future!

It is very difficult for the Northern Wei or Qianlong periods to determine this future time.

Not only does it require a large enough knowledge base, but it also requires some imagination!

The appearance of this box was also a good opportunity for the Zhang family to establish their status and cooperate with human emperors.

Because only the Zhang family knew that this box was King Zhou Mu's, and there was a secret about immortality inside.

This is also why, whether it was Emperor Xiaowen or Emperor Qianlong, after they got the box, they finally chose to handle it secretly.

It is precisely because the matter of immortality has too great an impact; it is what emperors pursue, and also what emperors avoid.

As long as it is a wise monarch, they dare not openly pursue immortality.

Therefore, Emperor Xiaowen chose to reward the officers and soldiers, letting these people shut up.

And Emperor Qianlong was even more ruthless, directly silencing everyone related to it!

As for why the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box wasn't opened by the Zhang family during the periods of these two emperors?

If the Zhang family was cooperating with the emperors, they should have helped open the stone box to obtain the secret inside.

Regarding this point, the original work didn't explain it, but Zhang Lin has his own thoughts.

Actually, the reason is very simple and has to do with the attributes of the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box!

The numbers on this box jump autonomously; the password of the box cannot be interfered with from the outside at all.

So even if the Zhang family knew the principle of the box, they couldn't open it!

But in order to maintain the mystery of the Zhang family, they wouldn't tell the truth to the emperors.

They probably used words like "the time is not yet ripe" to fool the emperors.

For the sake of immortality, the emperors could only choose to compromise with the Zhang family!

As for the Zhang family descendants opening the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box in 1896, one was that the time had come, and another was that this kind of evasive rhetoric was no longer working.

Plus, the Zhang family had gone through a thousand years, the family had gradually lost its cohesion, and they urgently needed the bond of immortality to unite the clansmen.

Under the promotion of various factors, the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box was finally opened, and the holy infant sealed inside for three thousand years finally saw the light of day!

Therefore, King Zhou Mu's box didn't have the function of an intuitive Gregorian calendar era; the number 1896528 relied on the translation of the Zhang family and Zhang Lin.

But the one in Zhang Lin's hand now is completely different!

The timing rules inside clearly use the thinking of modern people!
