Boss Guan was talking about the scepter on Zhang Nan's table, he felt that this stick was a little too ugly, and it didn't conform to the aesthetics of the Chinese people at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I've seen something similar in Gaborone, but none of them are pleasing to the eye, and one is uglier than the other.

In Africa, scepters are common, but except in the Saharan Island, there are few pleasing styles.

This African scepter originated from weapons, from the original wooden stick in the Paleolithic Age to the Cold Weapon Age, and some of them still have sharp spikes, to put it bluntly, the earliest is a weapon.

The ancient Egyptians of North Africa also used to add a round head to it to provide a powerful blow, while in South Africa, some scepters were large enough to smash the head of an ox and needed to be held with both hands.

Wooden sticks, which began in the Paleolithic period, have evolved into ceremonial hammers and scepters in government agencies, tribes, universities, or other institutions, and continue to display authority.

Nowadays, the scepter is still very common in the whole of Africa, both in the north and south of the Sahara, from the king to the chief, almost all have a scepter as a symbol of power.

On the African continent, the favorite scepter is probably Botswana, where the kings and chiefs of the tribes, the chiefs, village chiefs, and elders of the villages, and the officers and policemen of the cities often carry a small stick with them.

The small sticks in the hands of the policemen and officers that Guan Xingquan and others saw in Gaborone were not like Western-style "civilized sticks", they were very African, some were wrapped in fur and painted patterns, and some were simply bare, like a stick driving a cow, without any decoration.

But even if it is rudimentary, it is still a scepter, and those who are qualified to carry it in Botswana have status and will be respected.

However, due to historical reasons, Botswana, which began to be rich in diamonds, provided dazzling ornaments for the scepters and crowns of many kingdoms around the world, but their own "scepters" were still quite simple.

This is because Botswana has only been established for more than 20 years, but the people of Botswana have a long history of raising cattle for grazing, and the predecessor of the "scepter" is the stick for herding cattle.

Because people with cattle are revered, the person who holds the cattle stick is naturally the most powerful person!

As for diamonds?

It's been 20 years since I discovered diamonds, and I don't have that habit.

Here Zhang Nan heard Guan Xingquan's words and said, "Is it appropriate for me to take that toy?"

"What's inappropriate, it's not like you want to take it every day to drive the cows. It used to be a toy, but now it's a scepter in your hand, and I'm angry with the British!"

When Zhang Nan heard this, he laughed.

Botswana is still in the British Commonwealth, and his tribal chief has a diamond scepter in his hand that is more exaggerated than the British king's scepter, which really has a bit of black humor.

I don't know if the Queen of England will be angry and have internal injuries.

After Zhang Nan finished laughing, Guan Xingquan's face was straight, and he said: "Don't say it, your chieftain title and land are hereditary, and in ancient China, it was 'hereditary replacement', a cow!"

Who will your toy be given to? It's not your child yet, hereditary replacement, how good.

The scepter has also been handed down, both male and female, to whom you love to give. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Nan felt reasonable.

Picked up the wooden stick on the table and looked at it, studied the relief totem on it, and felt that adding it to his scepter, which was still in the design stage, was not a big problem, and it would not hinder the view.

"Well, good idea. ”

That's it, wait until you go back and have someone expand the totem and add it to the diamond scepter that will appear like never before.

However, if you really ask Joshua to engrave the tribal totem on the scepter, it is impossible for him to hold that thing in his hand all the time when he comes here, it is 250!

The world's largest diamonds, the first few diamonds, the most counted rubies...... Holding on the semi-desert wasteland to "point out the country", followed by a group of bodyguards and African black buddy subjects......

The picture is too beautiful to think about it.

As soon as he told Guan Xingquan what he said in his heart, Boss Guan turned his mind and came up with a brain-opening idea.

Who said that Boss Guan was cold and old-fashioned all day long?

It's fun to make you laugh and cry.

"It's simple, prepare a few more, look simple, and find a way to make the material.

Gold is cheesy to make sticks, platinum is best to make a solid one, at most add a little craftsmanship at the end of the hand, and do not add any other decoration except for the totem. The color is gray and inconspicuous, and it can be used as a stick to hit people's heads at critical moments. ”

Platinum Scepter, Fan!

The specific gravity of platinum is 21.45, even if it is hollow, to the extent that it will not be deformed, this weight is estimated to be not small. If it is made solid, it doesn't take much length, there is a length of 60 centimeters, and the diameter is 3 centimeters, this amount is absolutely leveraged, don't be too sour to smash people's heads!

But here's the problem!

Zhang Nan, a guy who is super bad at math, has been calculating for a long time, but he still hasn't figured out how much such a solid stick weighs.

Calculate the weight of the cube platinum stick with a side length of three centimeters, and the result is not unknown, and it is shocking!

23 pounds and zero points!

The cylinder with a diameter of 3 cm is probably about the same, right?

After calculating in his heart, Zhang Nan said angrily: "More than 20 catties of a stick, I am not Dian Wei, I don't have so much strength, this can be used as a dumbbell every day." ”

"Then you can learn from the Germans and take a wooden stick. ”

Guan Xingquan was unimpressed.

"Wood is too ordinary. ”

"Then the ivory, the rhinoceros horn, how strange and strange it is, I think the hawksbill turtle is also good. ”

"If you make a scepter out of animal products, it's at least sixty or seventy centimeters long. Ivory and turtle shells are trivial, but it's hard to ......find rhino horns of this length."

......

Chat a few words with Boss Guan, and you have to talk to other chiefs around you to exchange feelings.

On one side of Zhang Nan's table is Mr. Tuwang, and on the other side is a chief named Uvaru.

It's a very simple name, it's just an abbreviation, if you call it the full name, the chief's name in his 30s has 26 letters in English.

And that's not even counting the longest name, the longest name in the chief has 46 letters!

But the king of the earth called the man Coffey, and the meaning was simple: Friday.

"Robinson Crusoe" has come out, in fact, it is not surprising, Africa has such a date as a name, Zhang Nan remembers that the person named this person has become the secretary general of the United Nations.

Who?

Kofi Atta Annan is now Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Chief Uvaru is fluent in English, because he was polite just now, and a lot of the conversation between Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan was in English, and he understood.

Out of kindness, Chief Uvaru asked Zhang Nan, "Chief Allen needs a big rhino horn?"

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said: "Yes, I plan to purchase it and see if I can get a rhino horn with a length of seventy or eighty centimeters through legal channels." ”

The black buddy chief smiled and said, "Don't look for it, I'll give you one, and I'll have several more than one meter." ”
