Chapter 1026: The World Is So Big, I Want to See It
"It's a pity that such a sword is not known to the world!" Li Mingguang sighed helplessly when he heard Zhang Tianyuan's words.
Although he also knew what Zhang Tianyuan was worried about, from his personal point of view, such a good three swords should be announced to the world, and if a good thing is not announced, it will have no value in it.
"Let me think again. Zhang Tianyuan did not reject Li Mingguang's words, he always felt in his heart that if such a sword was announced, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble, this is not an ordinary ancient sword, the technology they contain and even surpass modern science and technology is the most troublesome place.
Li Mingguang didn't force Zhang Tianyuan, but smiled and said: "In that case, I won't say anything more, but the teacher has a reluctant request, I don't know if you can agree?"
Speaking of which, Li Mingguang is really a little embarrassed now, so when he said this, he was also a little hesitant, but finally said it.
"Teacher, as long as I don't hand over these three swords to the state, that's fine. You also know teacher, I'm very interested in antiques, this kind of thing, I will never hand it in lightly, unless it is the day when I am about to enter the earth, maybe I will donate it!" Zhang Tianyuan gave Li Mingguang a preventive injection in advance, so as not to tear his face later, his three swords are definitely to be collected by himself.
"Hahaha, you kid, don't worry, I won't make such a rude request, let alone you, even if it's me, I won't donate what I like, donating it is all voluntary. How can you force it? ”
"That's fine, but teacher. What was you just about to say?" asked Zhang Tianyuan in confusion.
"You also know, whether it is the Sword of King Qin, the Sword of King Yue or the Sword of Longquan. I have seen them all, I have also participated in research, and the rest also have many rare bronze weapons, and I have also published papers, but whether it is the sword of King Qin, the sword of King Yue, the sword of Longquan, or the sword of Wu Wangfucha, compared to these three swords, they are all insufficient, this is not on the same level at all! Although in the ancient sword rankings, the ranking of Yin Tianzi's three swords is not very high. But you have to know that the sword itself has a similar transparent effect, but the material is not glass, not plastic, not crystal, but metal, special metal, which is rare, just that. It's a notch higher than a lot of swords, and I want to do some research on this sword, I wonder if it's okay?"
Li Mingguang has published many papers on ancient swords, and Zhang Tianyuan has also read them. However, most of them are about the fact that ancient bronze swords can still be kept free of rust, smooth as new, and sharp as new after being buried in the ground for thousands of years, but there has never been a research on special swords like Yin Tianzi's three swords, because it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Li Mingguang didn't have that kind of sword in his hand at all, and he had never even seen it. How can he study it?
In desperation, he could only look for information about Yin Tianzi's three swords from everywhere. Every time he watched it, this impulse went even further, and for a long time, he couldn't sleep well at night.
Later, when chatting with many experts, everyone came to the conclusion that the three swords of Yin Tianzi did not exist at all, which was just a far-fetched description of later generations, just like many legends and stories in history, they were all fabricated by later generations.
Although Li Mingguang was unwilling, because he couldn't find a physical object to study, he was also very distressed and helpless, and in the end he could only put this matter aside, which became a knot in his heart that was difficult to unravel, and every time in the dead of night, he would sigh for it.
Today, when he suddenly saw the three swords in Zhang Tianyuan's hand, he was so excited that he almost had a heart attack, a heart disease that had been difficult to unravel for many years, and now he suddenly saw the dawn, could he not be excited?
If he can figure this out, even if he dies, he will have no regrets. This is not only an archaeological subject, but also a very strict scientific subject, and I wonder what great conclusions can be drawn.
After listening to Li Mingguang's story, Zhang Tianyuan also admired Li Mingguang's persistence, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Li Mingguang didn't ask him to give away these three swords or hand them over to the state, then he didn't have to worry.
"Teacher, you still say that I am lucky, but in fact, you are also quite lucky?" Zhang Tianyuan smiled.
"What, you agreed, you promised to let me do the research?" Li Mingguang asked excitedly.
"Yes, yes, but teacher, have you ever thought about it, the research of these three swords may have gone beyond the scope of archaeology, and it also involves the modern high-tech of materials science, are you sure that one person can figure it out?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.
"That's just as well. ”
"That's it, teacher, don't contact other scholars, people I don't know generally don't believe it, I'm still looking for this person, I figured out that Grandpa Guò Nie went to the army to find it, the people in the army know the confidentiality regulations, I do this, it can be regarded as lending this thing to the country for research, when the time comes, teacher, you will be the leader of this research group, but I won't hand over the things." Zhang Tianyuan thought for a while.
"Okay, okay, as long as I can get access to these three swords, nothing else is a problem, but how to determine the location of the study?"
"The research location will be placed in the research laboratory of your National University of Geosciences, anyway, these three swords will be escorted by soldiers back and forth in the future, and I can rest assured. Zhang Tianyuan smiled.
"Okay, when I hear your words, I'm relieved, by the way, Tian Yuan, are you interested in getting involved, studying ancient swords is a very interesting thing, and after you become a graduate student, if you have a research topic, you will definitely be more productive in the future." Li Mingguang asked with a smile.
"I'll forget it, I'm not very suitable to be a researcher, you know, the reason why I went to this graduate school is to increase my knowledge, and secondly, to learn more things, what I want to do now is to go to all over the world to find those exquisite antiques and collectibles, whether foreign or domestic. As long as it's a work of art, I like it!" Zhang Tianyuan is not a person who can do research in a down-to-earth manner. His personality is more lively, and he still prefers to live a life that he is familiar with.
"You kid. I really don't know. At this time, Aunt Li came out of the kitchen and said: "Do you know, newly enrolled graduate students are not qualified to develop research projects on their own, you honestly invite you to participate in the research, that is a great opportunity for you, are you afraid that you will honestly use you as hard labor?"
The topic raised by Aunt Li is not unreasonable, and now many school tutors are like this, not only treating graduate students as their own workers, but also the most hateful thing is what graduate students have researched. In the end, it turned out to be their fruit, and this kind of stealing the fruits of students, although it is very despicable, is not uncommon in reality.
She thought that Zhang Tianyuan was worried about this, so she said so.
Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said, "Aunt Li, you misunderstood, I'm just not very interested in research, I can't sit still, I always want to go out." Besides, I have such a big company, and I don't have time for any research. I absolutely believe in the teacher's character, how can I doubt him?"
He was telling the truth. If he had changed his previous words, he would probably still do research in a down-to-earth manner, but it was because there was nothing else to do. After all, when I used to play games in an Internet café, I often sat for hours at a time. But now, that's really not going to work.
There is a saying that from thrift to luxury. It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Although it may not be appropriate to use it here, it also shows a point, let Zhang Tianyuan return to the previous kind of otaku-like life, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it, he is now eager to run outside every day, play outside every day, and see the big world of this world.
"The world is so big, I want to see it. ”
This is a teacher who wrote when he resigned, maybe a little capricious, but he said that Zhang Tianyuan's heart is in trouble, he is not short of money now, even if he plays outside all year round, there is no problem at all.
Solve the problem of food and clothing, solve the well-off, and then naturally solve the problem of spiritual life.
"Okay, don't frighten Tian Yuan, since he doesn't want to get involved, of course there is a reason, but Tian Yuan, don't worry, I will add your name to it, after all, these three swords are provided by you, and you are one of them, not to mention that since this research project is in charge of me, it will not be a problem to handle this matter well." ”
"Then thank you, teacher. This time Zhang Tianyuan didn't refuse, if he just added a name to it, it would definitely not hurt him.
"No, no, no, you shouldn't thank me, it should be me who wants to say thank you, it's the teacher me, if you didn't come here today with these three swords, I'm afraid I will have regrets for the rest of my life." Li Mingguang shook his head and said with some emotion.
"Teacher, if you say that again, I don't know how to speak, let's not thank each other, let's talk about how this sword will be studied next, anyway, I have a principle, I don't really want these three swords to be announced, even if it is announced, don't announce it in my name, I don't want to get into trouble." Zhang Tianyuan said what he was most worried about.
"In this way, let me tell you, once the research results are obtained, if the paper is to be published, there must be a physical object, and there will inevitably be a seminar or something like that, and I am afraid that it is necessary for things to be exposed. Li Mingguang said: "But your worries are not unreasonable, in this way, we can publish this paper in the name of the military, in this case, who would dare to covet this thing?"
"Well, it's decided for the time being, but I think I'm afraid that after Grandpa Nie knows about this, he will be the first one who will not agree to publish it, you also know that many studies in our country are carried out in secret, teacher, I'm afraid that even if you have the results of your research, this paper will not be published immediately, and it will not be published until more than ten years later, so you must also be mentally prepared." Zhang Tianyuan touched his chin and said.
"I've naturally thought about this matter, if I don't publish it, I won't publish it, I just want to solve a mystery that has puzzled me for many years, as long as this mystery is solved, as for the rest, I don't care. I'm so old that I don't care about fame. Besides, it's not bragging, in the archaeological circle, there really isn't a bigger name than me in China!" When he said this, Li Mingguang's eyes obviously revealed a sense of confidence. (To be continued......)
