Chapter 537: Historical Illiteracy

After many days of boring salvage work, when the cleaning was about to be completed, a not-so-good news came: according to the forecast of the meteorological department, a high pressure would appear in the South Pacific, forming a typhoon, blowing in the direction where Weihang was located.

"We have to leave the area six hours before the typhoon arrives. The representative sent by the state spoke.

Then, there is still more than a day to go, and I wonder if we can completely empty the belongings of the giant ship before the typhoon comes, so as to save the trouble of running back and forth.

"I try to be as fast as I can, and I'm tired of being here these days. Wei Hang said.

Originally, Pavilion Master Deng, who was about to continue to reveal the news, was waiting for the elders, but when he heard Wei Hang's slightly tired voice, he was immediately embarrassed to speak again.

"Slow down! He's really tired. He Lao nodded.

It's also this young man who has patience, and if he changes to something else, I'm afraid he would have stopped picking on it a long time ago. Arriving below, it is not easy, and it also needs to consume a lot of physical strength to work, plus the surrounding environment, it can be seen how lonely and boring it is, and it is surprising to be able to persist until now.

"Well! Pavilion Master Deng nodded, exhausting that kid, his sin will be great.

According to Wei Hang's usual morality, it is absolutely not okay to go to sea for so many days without catching any fish. He still did not get rid of the habit of fishing, although the income such as treasure hunting is higher than fishing, he has not forgotten his original purpose, which is to fish.

This kind of character, the owner of the Deng Pavilion admires it very much, and feels that he is a very practical person and very down-to-earth. Or rather, pragmatism. The huge wealth he suddenly discovered could not make him forget his original intention.

So far, the gold and silver treasures that have been salvaged. It's already huge. Not to mention gold and silver, even jewelry, there are as many as two cabins, and almost all of them are top-notch A goods.

When I opened the next cabin, I saw bundles of wood.

"It's a little familiar!" Xiao Wu said.

Chen Jianliang's eyes were straight, what was familiar? Wasn't it the red sandalwood he had seen before? All of them were bundled together. The quality looks pretty good.

"Rosewood?"

"It seems like it's all of them. ”

Chen Jianliang shook his head slightly: "It's not just red sandalwood. ”

"Oh, what's the point?" the others asked, puzzled.

"Because of the long period of being buried on the seabed, these red sandalwood have changed a little. ”

"What's changed?"

It's all red sandalwood, why haven't the previous statues changed? That's perhaps. It is not quite the same as the depth of burial, and a large pile of red sandalwood is piled up together, and various factors have caused some changes in that batch of wood.

"It seems to have hardened. Wei Hang said.

Pavilion Master Deng and the others all have the bottom in their hearts. It is a manifestation of water sinking wood. It's just that it's not buried long enough to be completely changed.

"That's right, it should still have a bit of the characteristics of sinking wood. Chen Jianliang nodded.

As the name suggests, "water sinking wood" can be put into the water without floating, and at the same time does not affect the water quality, can become water sinking wood, many water sinking wood is a good material for landscaping. Authentic thousand-year-old high-quality sunken wood is a very valuable wood. Also known as gloomy wood, ebony. It is formed by sudden natural disasters such as earthquakes, which cause a large number of forest timber to be buried.

But in fact, it is generally buried under the riverbed for 3,000 to 8,000 years. Only a few that have not rotted will become millennium sunken wood, some of which are as hard as iron after drying, and some have a unique aromatic smell.

"That is to say, it is still sinking wood!" Muzi said.

Sinking wood has also become more popular recently, and it will often be exposed on the Internet, where and where the sinking wood is found, and then confiscated, etc.

Strictly speaking, the thousand-year-old water sinking wood has gone beyond the scope of wood, and should be listed as a "treasure". In terms of its texture, cultural value and appreciation space, it can be said that the thousand-year-old water-sunken wood furniture and relief artwork are incomparable, and even surpass the precious rosewood.

Chen Jianliang still shook his head: "It can only be said that there are some characteristics, but it is not a sinking wood." ”

He popularized with everyone that not all trees can evolve into gloomy wood, and so far there are only five kinds of gloomy woods found in Qinggang, hemp willow, camphor, red toon, and nanmu.

"Nanmu is the most valuable, slightly better than rosewood. ”

However, although there were only some changes inadvertently, the value of those rosewood rosewood has also appreciated a little more than the original rosewood.

"They were buried at the bottom of the sea, and they were only more than 600 years old, which is not enough to form water-sinking wood. Gu Haichao said suddenly.

"Is it only more than 600 years? It doesn't make sense! Isn't it a shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty?" Many people were stunned for a moment, feeling that something was not quite right, they had gone through two dynasties, and there was no reason that it was only in such a short time, right? It has been several decades since the founding of New China.

Yes, a large group of historical illiterates, even Qian Wenji and others, did not calculate how many years it was.

Gu Haichao sneered: "Otherwise, how many thousand years do you think it is? The Ming Dynasty has only a history of more than two hundred years, and the Qing Dynasty is less than three hundred years, plus a Republic of China, and New China, do the math yourself!"

As for the previous Yuan Dynasty, not to mention, although it established a huge empire, like the Qin Dynasty, it will perish in less than a hundred years.

The longest is actually the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the period of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the Zhou Dynasty has experienced more than 700 years!

Although the Song Dynasty was very pitiful, as if it had been bullied a little, from top to bottom, it revealed a sour smell and a corrupt atmosphere, but the time of people's rule was not very short, and it was decades longer than that of the Tang Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty.

"It turns out that the Ming and Qing dynasties were so short-lived!" Muzi said in surprise.

It's really not that I don't know, I'm shocked!

After half a day, the rosewood in the cabin was finally dragged up. When Weihang opened the next hatch, it was still wood, but the type didn't seem to be the same.

"Striped Ebony!"

Pavilion Master Deng and others are all experts, and it is easy to distinguish the types of this batch of wood.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the most precious Indonesian striped ebony. It is produced in many areas, but the best quality comes from the harsh environment of Indonesia's primeval forests.

This kind of wood, like red sandalwood, is extremely difficult to form, and it takes at least 500 years, or even 1,000 years, to form a useful material.

Wei Hang doesn't care what kind of wood, even if it is completed, it will be completed, this job is really tireless.

The warehouse below is filled with bags of sandbags and the like. It's already the bottom of the boat, and those sandbags are used to stabilize the hull of the boat, and they are deliberately placed. (To be continued.) )
