第225章 比尔密码(三)
破译者先将每一个单词编上序号。

之后他将要密码中的数字与编上了序号之后的文章对照。
115-I 73-h 24-a 807-v 37-e 52-d 49-e 17-p
31-o 62-s 647-I 22-t 7-e 15-d 140-I 47-N
破译者将这些单词排列出来:ihavedepositedin……(后面还有很多内容)
看到这些字母排列之后,破译者欣喜若狂,因为他发现这些字母如此排列是能够组成有意义的I have deposited in……(我放置了……)
于是他按照之前的方法将剩余的密码破译了出来。
I have deposited in the county of Bedford, about four miles from Buford's, in an excavation or vault, six feet below the surface of the ground, the following articles, belonging jointly to the parties whose names are given in number three, herewith:The first deposit consisted of ten hundred and fourteen pounds of gold, and thirty-eight hundred and twelve pounds of silver, deposited Nov. eighteen nineteen. The second was made Dec. eighteen twenty-one, and consisted of nineteen hundred and seven pounds of gold, and twelve hundred and eighty-eight of silver; also jewels, obtained in St. Louis in exchange for silver to save transportation, and valued at thirteen thousand dollars.The above is securely packed in iron pots, with iron covers. The vault is roughly lined with stone, and the vessels rest on solid stone, and are covered with others. Paper number one describes the exact locality of the vault, so that no difficulty will be had in finding it.
我在贝德福德郡,距Buford酒馆约4英里,6英尺深的洞穴或地窖埋藏了三号密码指定的一些人所拥有的物品:
1819年11月第一次存入的物品有1014磅金和3812磅银。1821年12月第二次存入的物品有1907磅金和1288磅银,还有总值约13000美元的珠宝,在圣路易斯用银换取,以便运输。
这些物品储存在带有铁盖的铁罐内。洞穴的内壁衬着石头。容器放置在结实的石壁上,并被其他物件覆盖。一号密码指明了藏宝处的地点,所以很容易就能找到它。
这份密码被破译之后引起了轩然大波,人们怀着对于巨额宝藏的狂热激情纷纷投入到密码破译的大军之中,然而在查找过无数典籍依旧一无所获,无数人的努力付之东流之后,人们的热情渐渐冷却了,他们最终放弃了对于密码的破译。
虽然最终比尔的宝藏并没有被找到,但是比尔密码关于这个经典书卷密码的故事却流传了下来。
