After solving the matter of Da Zhuang's loan, I couldn't wait to see the bronze Gui Street again, so I said: "Yes, Da Zhuang, where did you put the bronze Gui, I'll take a look." ”

"Brother Niu, I didn't dare to take that bronze gui home, I hid it in the store. Da Zhuang said cautiously.

"Let's go, let's go to the store. "I didn't hesitate in the slightest.

"Ah, are you going now?" Da Zhuang looked a little surprised.

"Yes, I'm going to take a look, and I always feel that something is wrong. "I couldn't tell the truth, so I made an excuse.

"Don't worry, we have appraisal reports and certificates, what are we afraid of. Da Zhuang looked proud, and he was probably still immersed in joy.

"Oh, let's go, you don't understand. "I was a little anxious, but I didn't know how to explain it.

Seeing that I was anxious, Da Zhuang agreed to come down. He hurried over.

When he arrived at the store, Da Zhuang opened a container with a key, and then took out the bronze gui from the bottom.

I stared intently, and I seemed to see a faint purple light shining from the bronze canopy in front of me.

Yes, is it my delusion?

"In the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty, paraffin bronze thunder pattern double sheep head ears are self-sufficient. The voice that I had been waiting for for a long time came to my head.

"There's a response!" I exclaimed.

"What!" Da Zhuang was startled.

"It's okay, I mean... I know what the problem is. My mind was spinning rapidly, "The reason why I couldn't see it well before is because, this..."

Paraffin, the word popped into my head. "It's because this is a stone model system, so it doesn't have the characteristics of a pottery model system. I explained.

"Brother Niu, what is paraffin?"

I explained: "The lost-wax method is a precision casting method for metal objects such as bronze. The method is to make a model of the casting with beeswax, and then fill the mud core with other refractory materials and apply the outer fan. After heating and baking, the wax model is all melted and lost, making the entire casting model an empty shell. Then the solution is poured inward, and it is cast into a utensil. The utensils can be delicate and clear, with a hollow effect. The process of the lost wax method is divided into three steps, firstly, the wax model is made from meltable paraffin, and the wax model is poured with fine mud many times to harden it to form a casting shape. Then, the cast shape is baked and ceramic. In this process, the paraffin wax melts and flows out, forming a cavity in the casting. Finally, copper water is poured into the cavity to make utensils. ”

Speaking of which, I think there's something a bit of a problem. "Wait, the earliest known cultural relics made of paraffin wax were in the late Spring and Autumn Period. I was very pleased, patted Da Zhuang's shoulder vigorously, and shouted, "Da Zhuang, you are a baby!"

"Ouch, Brother Niu. Da Zhuang didn't know whether he was photographed or frightened, and almost threw the bronze gui in his hand to the ground.

I was embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "The earliest cultural relics unearthed in the country are made of paraffin, which should be in the late Spring and Autumn Period. ”

"How about that?" Da Zhuang didn't understand.

"You are from the Western Zhou Dynasty, an era earlier than the Spring and Autumn Period!" I said.

"That is, it's more valuable!" Da Zhuang's eyes lit up, but the words he said proved that he had lost his money.

"I'm talking about historical research value, not economic value. "I'm a little helpless.

"Oops, that's a scientist's business, it has nothing to do with me, as long as it's worth it!" After speaking, Da Zhuang laughed heartily.

I shook my head, feeling the loneliness of Boya when he threw the piano, and it was the feeling of playing the piano to the cow.

Wait, I realized the problem. This time, when I saw the bronze glitter, I actually had a reaction in my head, and I could see the purple light coming out. Could it be that this is an upgrade of my ability? I can still feel the pain in my temples, but it's not as painful as it used to be.

Why can't I see this bronze gui at noon, but now I can? How did I upgrade this ability, is it because of that turtle shell? A series of questions popped up.

After thinking about it for a while, there was no answer, and I simply stopped dwelling on it. Although the process is rather confusing, the result is good!

"Da Zhuang, you can't send this bronze to the auction, do you understand?" I instructed.

"Understood. Ah, what Brother Niu?" Da Zhuang was in a trance, as if he had an illusion.

I said word by word: "I, say, this, a, green, bronze, gui, no, can, send, shoot!"

"Why!" Da Zhuang was anxious, like a monkey in the sky, and was set on fire.

"This thing is too valuable for research, it's a national treasure, we can't..."

"Brother Niu, my dear Brother Niu, alas! What kind of national treasure do you care about him, the more valuable it is, the more valuable it is, maybe the auction is more than 200,000 yuan! What kind of bullshit research value, for us little people, we can't see or touch, our country is rich in land and resources, maybe there are many such bronzes buried underground, I don't care about our two pieces. Let's take care of ourselves and calculate the economic accounts!" Da Zhuang didn't care about the loss of national treasures at all, and chattered about his reasoning.

I was a little annoyed and yelled, "Nonsense!"

I felt that the tone was a little heavy, busy with emotion, moved with reason, and said: "Da Zhuang, this cultural relics are a symbol of the Chinese nation, engraved with the traditional style and connotation, with high artistic value, historical value, is a priceless treasure left to us by our ancestors, after years of baptism, the number of cultural relics that have been handed down to this day is not much, and can not be regenerated, once the cultural relics are damaged, they can never be restored, so the cultural relics are very precious. However, such a precious historical and cultural heritage has been ruthlessly destroyed by tomb robbers, and a large number of precious cultural relics have been stolen and sold, which has brought huge losses to the country and the people, which is heartbreaking. ”

Da Zhuang was silent.

I continued, "At first, I thought there was something wrong with this bronze skull, so I didn't think about the auction. But now, knowing that this bronze is genuine, if it is really sent to Hong Kong Island for auction, it is likely to be auctioned away by foreigners, isn't that a national treasure lost?" I said as I observed Da Zhuang's expression, "You think, your bronze is not the same as other things, even if the price is high, it may not be higher than your historical value." He could push back the ancient Chinese method of precision casting of paraffin by hundreds of years. ”

"Brother Niu, in fact, I understand what you said, that is, if you don't send it for shooting, how to deal with this thing!" Da Zhuang said with some difficulty.

I put my arm on my strong shoulder, "Brother, I know, this is the first big leak you picked up, and you also want to make a lot of money, and you want Uncle Wang to be impressed by you." ”

Da Zhuang stared at me, and there was a feeling of sympathy. But his gaze gave me goosebumps.

"Can we not look at me like that?" I smiled bitterly, "Let's donate it to the country, although we may not be able to earn much money, but it will definitely be published in the newspaper, and you will be famous! ”

"Brother Niu, why do I think your words are like eulogies..."Da Zhuang's words made me almost vomit blood, but after thinking about it, it really looks like it, and I immediately laughed.
