Chen Xiu held a cigarette in one hand, and gently stroked the plum bottle fragments in the box with the other, and a message appeared in his mind, "Ming Dynasty kiln, integrity 0, value 0."

Chen Xiu shook his head helplessly, Gu Yu pays more attention to antiques and cultural relics is its own artistic value, although the three paintings left by this plum bottle are absolutely extremely important in historical significance, but the value of Gu Yu is zero.

After this prompt message appeared in his mind, Chen Xiu suddenly thought of several important questions.

"Professor Fang, don't you think it's strange, why such a secret thing would be burned on a plum vase?

What is the purpose of leaving a portrait?

Also, why a folk kiln?

If someone really wants to record this secret, the people he comes into contact with are either expensive or expensive, and if he wants to leave a portrait, it should be customized by the official kiln!"

These questions obviously Professor Fang hadn't thought about before, and it was impossible to say right when Chen Xiu asked them.

He smoked the cigarette in his hand violently, and after a while, he said, "That's right, there are indeed too many doubts in this that can't be explained." It seems that our archaeological work still has a long way to go, and we can only hope that you will soon translate the text on the deck, or find more useful information inside the shipwreck. ”

"By the way, one more point!"

Chen Xiu thought of a new question again, and excitedly pinched the cigarette butt in his hand at once.

"What else, say it quickly!"

For a long time, the level of his students themselves is limited, and it is okay to help clean up the salvaged cultural relics, and for the aspect of historiography, Professor Fang is alone to scrutinize the clues, and just now Chen Xiu raised those new questions so that he also has some new ideas in this matter, and at this moment he is even more eager to know what new ideas Chen Xiu has to offer.

"Don't you think it's strange from what's currently unearthed on the shipwreck?"

"Strange?

According to historical records, Zheng He went to the West to bring silk, porcelain and other unique things in China in exchange for spices, dyes, precious stones, elephant skins, rare and exotic beasts that were lacking in the Central Plains at that time.

Now we have fished more than 300 pieces of porcelain from the shipwreck, which is also in line with the historical record. As for the silk, it has not yet been discovered, but after all, this is a ship sunk on the bottom of the sea, unlike land, and the silk can't withstand the corrosion of the sea, so it's not surprising that it may have been dissolved a long time ago. ”

"What about African ivory?"

"It is estimated that the fleet arrived in Africa at that time and the local natives exchanged it back, after all, the Ming Dynasty palace is still very scarce for ivory products, which is not surprising......"

Professor Fang was stunned when he said this, and suddenly figured out where the strange point Chen Xiu said was, "You mean this is a returning ship!"

"Smack!"

Professor Fang slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "Yes! According to historical records, Zheng He's farthest trip to the West may have reached the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. Ivory appeared on the wreck, and it could only be a returning ship.

For a long time, because of the large amount of porcelain salvaged, I thought it was a ship that had sailed......

Hey!

No, no!

If it's a returning ship, why is there so much porcelain on board?

If you don't exchange all the porcelain for local supplies and come back with a full load of porcelain, it can't be said that you can't say it!"

The more Professor Fang thought about it, the more he felt that more mysteries and mysteries were revealed in this shipwreck, and he couldn't help but scratch the few hairs on his head with his hands in annoyance.

Chen Xiuzhen was afraid that he would not be able to get out of it for a while, so he hurriedly deliberately diverted the topic and said, "Professor Fang, I definitely should send this embroidered spring knife back to the land for testing as soon as possible." If it can be verified for its composition, perhaps we will also have a new understanding of the smelting technology of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the matter of Emperor Jianwen was too mysterious, and even people at that time didn't know about it.

There is still a long way to go to unlock the secret of Zheng He's voyage to the West, and there is no hurry.

Moreover, historiography has always been 'isolated history', and the evidence of our shipwreck alone is not enough to overturn the record of the entire Ming history.

If more shipwrecks of Zheng He's voyage to the West can be excavated, and more evidence can be unearthed to be recognized by the historical community. ”

Chen Xiu's words were like a plate of cold water poured from his head, which made Professor Fang's original simple thoughts more thoughtful, and said with a wry smile: "It's that I originally thought too simply.

But

Eh......"

Professor Fang let out a long sigh and said, "With our current exploration technology, it is very difficult to find a shipwreck in the vast sea.

This wreck was still unintentionally discovered by fishermen who came to salvage because it was close to the coastline.

It would be very difficult to find another shipwreck like this. I'm afraid it's hard to find out in my lifetime!"

He glanced at the embroidered spring knife again, picked it up and flicked it with his fingers, and the blade was "Zheng", handed it over to Chen Xiu and said,

"You're right, I should have sent this knife back to the laboratory at Lingnan University for laboratory testing as soon as possible. ”

Since the appearance of the embroidered spring knife here, Chen Xiu's palm has been hot, he has long wanted to absorb the mysterious aura in the knife, but he has been discussing the matter of Emperor Jianwen with Professor Fang and has not had a chance to get started.

Suddenly, there was a red fire in front of me, and I saw that under the afterglow of the sunset, the sea was like half of the sea of fire, and a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit stood on the deck and waved an embroidered spring knife.

The embroidered spring knife technique in Jin Yiwei's hand is magical, obviously extremely sophisticated, and the knife is terrifying, as if every knife is going to cut through the sea, so the knife technique Chen Xiu has never seen before, and he can't see it for a while.

Suddenly, the brocade-clothed guard flew up, spun back and slashed down, the extremely sharp blade seemed to have been split in half from Chen Xiu's head, Chen Xiu wanted to resist, but whether it was the Yue family's loose hands or Tai Chi, he didn't know how to resist for a while.

It seemed that no matter what move he was, he couldn't resist such a sharp knife from Jin Yiwei, seeing that the blade was no longer more than a centimeter away from his head, Chen Xiu's pupils suddenly dilated, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, and his eyes suddenly became blood-red, as if he saw the blood rushing out of his head staining his eyes.

......

"Ahh

Chen Xiu let out a scream, and sat up from the bed with his head covered.

"You're finally awake, and you're scared to death!"
