PS: Thank you kun27, zzxx1212, Violet Violet, Steer'ss, ailkes and other brothers and sisters for their tips and monthly ticket support!

The navy found the cargo ship, and listening to Gu Jiahui's description, it was all "You all play with us, right?" What are you kidding? Several pirate ships have been pulled into the sea for no reason? Think it's a ghost story?

"Even we can't believe it now, that scene is really hard to explain. Gu Jiahui said to the people in the navy.

Then they presented the evidence, the footage and video they had taken. When those soldiers saw it, their eyes widened, their expressions were solemn, and their hearts were furious.

"We'll make a copy of these videos. Forget it, let's take it, and you are not allowed to flow it into society, so as not to cause panic. The officer said to Gu Jiahui.

When they returned, they handed over the information to the higher-ups. When those higher-level leaders saw it, they all frowned. They also don't believe that there are ghosts, but how can such a strange supernatural event be explained?

"In this world, there are too many existences that we cannot understand. Forget it, seal it up for the time being, and let the scientists study it!" the general began.

They also felt that those pirates were extremely unlucky, and if they encountered such an incredible thing at a critical moment, even if they went back, there would be a psychological shadow in the future, right? Whether they dared to go to sea or not was already a question.

Time passed, but the United States still did not find a clue, and under tremendous pressure, the naval blockade was finally lifted. At the same time, I want to slowly fade the incident. This is destined to be the most humiliating stroke in the history of their navy.

A few days later, Tim showed up in China, accompanied by two aides who were familiar with China.

A banner was raised at the entrance of the Guangdong Provincial Museum: Warmly welcome Mr. Tim!

"Are you here?" asked the museum's owner, Deng.

Recently, I found that I was very lucky, first found a shipwreck, and then got a batch of antiques from Weihang, and a few days later, there was actually a foreigner, who said that he wanted to return his collection of Chinese cultural relics to China.

This thing. alarmed the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. The people above said that they must vigorously publicize this matter. The return of cultural relics is not a new thing. Every year, China retrieves precious cultural relics from overseas at high prices and donates them to the country.

However, it is very rare for the other party to be a foreigner. They hope that by publicizing this event, more foreign collectors will return Chinese cultural relics.

"It's almost there, his assistant informed me. ”

A few minutes later, Tim and his assistant appeared at the entrance to the museum.

"Hello Mr. Tim. Thank you very much for bringing back our cultural relics. We held a simple press conference in conjunction with the news media, so please don't mind. Pavilion Master Deng smiled and shook Tim's hand.

Tim spoke very unfamiliar Chinese: "I like China very much, and I have very good Chinese friends. This time, it was my Chinese friend who wanted the cultural relics to return to China, and I agreed. ”

Everyone was stunned, and the media had found a big piece of news, and all kinds of questions came to Tim.

Tim is also a man who has seen the big world. Although he doesn't often appear in front of the media, he hasn't been intimidated by this scene, but answers everyone's questions reasonably. He avoided talking about things that shouldn't be said. For example, what is the name of that Chinese and so on.

"Your Chinese friend is a very patriotic person, and we hope that one day. He was able to come back to his home country and contribute. Pavilion Master Deng praised it.

"That's for sure, he doesn't like fame and fortune, and he is a very indifferent person. However. He loves his country and is a great Chinese. Tim was also shining his shoes, hoping that Weihang would be able to see it.

Seeing a German, so praising the Chinese of their own country, the Chinese present felt very face-saving and curious, who it was.

It's a pity that people also said that the other party is indifferent to fame and fortune and doesn't like to appear in front of the media.

"Very well, I also ask Mr. Tim to say thank you to the patriotic Chinese on our behalf. The country welcomes him back!" said Pavilion Master Deng.

"Okay, I also believe that one day, he will come back. Tim laughed.

Next, it was a very relaxed conversation and the solemn transfer of those artifacts to the museum.

Almost all of those cultural relics are porcelain, and most of them in the Qing Dynasty are not too exquisite, and the expensive ones are only three or four million. However, there are a lot of them, dozens of them.

The people of the museum began to sort and preserve, and someone else greeted Tim for them.

"Master Deng, may I ask what representative works are among these cultural relics, which are particularly precious. A reporter asked.

"At the moment, we are also in the categorization, and we will have to wait a while to answer your questions. However, most of the cultural relics here are from the Qing Dynasty, and there are a few from the Ming Dynasty, all of which are very well preserved. Pavilion Master Deng said to everyone.

At this time, an old appraiser of the museum exclaimed in surprise: "This is the secret color porcelain!"

When the owner of the Deng Pavilion heard this, his face changed slightly, and he didn't care about the reporters of these media, so he hurriedly walked over. When other reporters saw this situation, they knew that the terrible baby appeared.

They grabbed a staff member and asked, "What is the secret color porcelain?" I heard the old gentleman exclaim just now, it should be a very rare treasure, right?"

The staff is also an appraiser, and he is also an expert in porcelain, and when it comes to secret color porcelain, he also replied slightly excitedly: "It is a kind of porcelain that is very mysterious in Chinese history, and it is very rare." In ancient times, it was a court item, and the folk used it to cut off the head. ”

Then, he elaborated on some information about the secret color porcelain.

It is the traditional porcelain making process of the Han nationality Yue kiln celadon in the fine product, the special glaze formula can produce the aesthetic effect of the porcelain appearance "like ice" and "like jade", the glaze layer is particularly thin, and the glaze layer is particularly firm in combination with the carcass. Therefore, this recipe is kept secret and is dedicated to the firing of royal porcelain.

"This kind of porcelain has a thin wall, a smooth surface, a regular shape, and uniform glazing. In terms of glaze color, the early Five Dynasties were still dominated by yellow, moist and luster, and translucent, but the proportion of green increased compared with the late Tang Dynasty. After that, it is mainly turquoise, and yellow is rare. The one we see now should be from the Five Dynasties period. He explained.

The media immediately gave a close-up of the porcelain bowl to give the audience an explanation.

"Then why is it mysterious?" the reporter continued.

This time it was the owner of the Deng Pavilion who answered, and he had confirmed that it was the secret color porcelain of the Five Dynasties period, and he was not in much of a mood, and he didn't mind telling the media a few more words.

"First of all, thank you again Mr. Tim for his kindness. What we see now is the secret color porcelain of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The reason why it is mysterious is mainly because the secret recipe for firing it has long been lost, and in addition, its origin has not been completely solved until now. Pavilion Master Deng explained to everyone.

The secret color porcelain has always been a mystery in the eyes of today's people before the underground palace of Famen Temple was opened. People only know from the records that it is a special thing for the royal family, specially fired by the "Yue kiln", from the formula, billet, glazing to firing the whole process is secret, its color can only be imagined from the Tang poem "Nine autumn wind dew more kiln open, win the thousand peaks of green color" and other descriptions.

"It is the earliest and finest court porcelain found in the world with inscriptions. There are only a dozen or twenty pieces in existence, which are even rarer than Yuan blue and white porcelain. ”

How precious Yuan Qinghua is, even if not people in the antique industry have heard of it, even foreigners know its great name. A piece of Yuan Qinghua was auctioned for more than 100 million yuan, and it is definitely a treasure that everyone dreams of.

However, listening to this, this kind of secret color porcelain is even rarer.

"Of course, if you want to measure its value in money, it is still not comparable to Yuan Qinghua for the time being. Yuan Qinghua is so expensive, in addition to the rarity, there are many factors. "Pavilion Master Deng reminded everyone.

"In fact, if you look at this porcelain carefully, you can also feel its preciousness. ”

Those media have turned their attention to the secret color porcelain, the shape is delicate and dignified, the tire wall is thin and uniform, especially the lake-like pale yellow-green porcelain enamel, exquisite as ice, clear as jade, even and elegant to intoxicating.

"It's really a baby!" the reporter of the provincial TV station couldn't help but admire.

The wisdom of the ancients is truly immeasurable, and it is so delicate and beautiful to burn a lump of mud. It is no wonder that in ancient Europe, porcelain was more precious than gold.

Living in ancient Europe, all the nobles took pride in owning a fine piece of porcelain. If you have such a treasure in your family, you have the capital to show off, even their royal family is no exception.

When Tim heard that the porcelain was so precious, his heart still hurt a little. But it has been handed over, and it is impossible to come back, it is too shameless.

This time, I believe Wei Hang can also see his sincerity, right?

Thinking of that Chinese partner, the pain in his heart was a little lighter. As long as you make good friends with that person, the loss is worth it. He is now looking forward to how much oil the Chinese can snatch from the Americans this time.

When asked how he felt at the moment, Tim replied with a smile: "I'm also very happy that such a baby can return to China." At the same time, it also calls on collectors who collect a large number of Chinese cultural relics to return the treasures to their rightful places. ”

This was said very beautifully, and the owner of the Deng Pavilion took the lead in applauding.

All the media present sang praises to Tim. Not only that, but on the Internet, Chinese netizens are also full of affection for such a lovely German.

"Good friend of China, you are always welcome!"

"A true international friend!"

"Long live Sino-German friendship!"

And on the German side, their media also hyped up the matter. Naturally, there is the credit of the oil company. Tim also told them what the Chinese was.

This time, the Germans began to bombard Britain, as the executioners of the burning of the Old Summer Palace, and Britain and France, the two countries that plundered the most treasures in China.

The British Museum and the Louvre, the largest museum in France, are silent, and they don't speak when they die! (To be continued......
