Chapter Twenty-Six: The Golden Thread of Jade Clothes
The moment the lid of the coffin was opened, even through the gas mask, Li Wu could still smell a pungent smell, so he directly covered his nose with his hands, but only after covering it did he realize that he was still wearing a gas mask.
"Professor Wang, is this mercury?" After getting used to it a little, Li Wu immediately looked at the golden coffin, and saw that there was a coffin of silver-white liquid in the coffin, although he had also heard that the ancients had mercury to embalm, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of scene, and he was a little uncertain.
"Yes, this is mercury, quickly, bring the bucket and the scoop, and scoop out these mercury first, otherwise it will volatilize too much, and it will produce highly poisonous" Professor Wang saw the mercury in this coffin, not angry but happy, urging Li Wu and others to quickly scoop out the mercury, you must know that the more this is the case, the more it proves that the items in the coffin are well preserved.
Probably because of the volatilization of mercury, the mercury in the coffin was not very full, about two-thirds left, Li Wu and the others scooped for less than a minute, and suddenly a miserable white appeared in front of Li Wu's eyes, which scared Li Wu so much that he almost threw away the mercury full of a scoop in his hand.
"I said what are you kid doing, you are shocked?" Wei Ling was next to Li Wu, and when he saw Li Wu's cave, he was also taken aback, if that scoop of mercury was splashed over, Wei Ling estimated that he would have to withdraw directly from this archaeological operation.
Li Wu pointed to the miserable white, and said to Wei Ling: "Brother Wei, you can see for yourself"
"Damn, what is this!" Wei Ling looked in the direction of Li Wu's finger, and was also taken aback, knowing that they were cleaning the coffin now, when they suddenly saw a face with no facial features, only a miserable white face, looming in the mercury, and everyone wanted this reaction.
"What's wrong with you?" Professor Wang heard Li Wu and Wei Ling's exclamations, and asked, but when he finished reading, the miserable white face that Li Wu was referring to immediately sounded a louder exclamation than Li Wu and Wei Ling: "Quick, hurry up and let the outside bring in a few more water scoops, and you all do it together." ”
"Professor, what's wrong with you?" Hearing Professor Wang's exclamation, Li Wu and Wei Ling looked at each other, I really couldn't understand what Professor Wang was excited about, wasn't it just a face with no facial features!
"Don't ask yet, you hurry up and scoop out the mercury" Professor Wang didn't answer Wei Ling's words at all at this time.
But Professor Wang's appearance also let Li Wu know that he must have discovered something remarkable. You must know that in this archaeology, Professor Wang will only look like this when the nine bronze tripods are found, and even those golden mountains he did not show such an expression.
It's a pity that the nine big tripods that symbolize the emperor, after checking it, no inscriptions were found on it, but as such, Professor Wang was called the important weapon of the country.
"Professor Wang, this can't be a golden jade robe, right?"
As the mercury in the golden coffin became less and less, Li Wu finally saw clearly that the face with no facial features was originally composed of pieces of jade, but there was one thing that made him unsure, he had seen the golden jade clothes, and the connections of each jade piece were made of gold, but the connections on the golden jade clothes were also connected with some white things.
"That's right, this is the golden jade clothes, this time I really made a fortune"
When Li Wu heard Professor Wang's incoherent words, he was directly messy, and even said that he was rich, but he still asked his doubts.
"Oh, you said yes, this is related to a very deep chemistry problem" Professor Wang had not yet spoken, Wei Ling on the side suddenly spoke, but these words made Li Wu roll his eyes directly, this has something to do with chemistry, and it is very deep chemistry.
"Okay, don't be kidding, but Xiao Wu, Wei Ling is really not wrong, this is really related to chemistry, because gold will turn white when soaked in mercury, so you will see such a situation now" Professor Wang watched Wei Ling play treasure and explained to Li Wu with a smile.
"So that's the case" Li Wu really felt that his posture had risen, he knew that precious metals would turn black after a long time, and they would turn white when they were put in mercury, it seemed that this archaeology still had to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry.
"You just heard it, this is the golden jade clothes, the legend can bring people back to life, and the body will be preserved for thousands of years without decay. Of course, it would be nice to listen to the resurrection of the dead as a myth, and I don't know if it's true that it doesn't decay for thousands of years, but I think this corpse should be able to do it, because this mercury alone should be able to keep this corpse incorruptible. ”
Li Wu looked at the golden jade clothes that had already surfaced and explained to the camera.
"Brother Wu, hurry up and pack it and take it away, you can bring the dead back to life."
"Upstairs is a second goods, didn't you hear Brother Wu say it was fake?"
"I see that the one upstairs is the second goods, he is joking, can't you see it?"
"After the identification, you are all two goods..."
Li Wu looked at the barrage and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, it turned out that the people who came to watch his live broadcast were all second-hand goods.
……
"Damn, what's so heavy" When Li Wu was scooping the mercury, he suddenly felt a weight in the scoop, and almost dropped the scoop directly on the golden jade clothes, which made him break out in a cold sweat, if this is smashed, the matter will be a big deal, especially in front of everyone.
"Damn, this is the jade seal" After pouring out the mercury in the water scoop, Li Wu saw clearly the source that almost made him get into trouble this time, it turned out to be a jade seal, of course, Li Wu also knew that this jade seal was not the jade seal of He's Bi, it should be one of the six seals of the Son of Heaven.
Hearing Li Wu's exclamation, Professor Wang said with some uncertainty: "What are you talking about, Jade Seal? Quickly, bring it to me to see."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Wu to answer, he rushed to him with a healthy step, and after carefully taking the jade seal, he didn't care about the mercury on it, wiped it with a towel, and looked at the strong light.
"Hey... This is the Emperor's Seal," Professor Wang shook his head and sighed after reading it.
When Li Wu heard Professor Wang's words, he couldn't help but sigh, because the emperor's seal did not indicate which emperor used it, and only the emperor's private jade seal could indicate his identity.
"Professor, don't worry, in this golden coffin, there will definitely be something that indicates the identity of the owner of the tomb" Looking at Professor Wang's appearance, Wei Ling on the side said
"Okay, then you go ahead, but then you have to be very careful" Professor Wang cheered up and instructed, he also believed that in this coffin, there should be a record or item about the owner of the tomb.
