Hong Tianbao parted ways with Liu Yifei when he returned to the club, and he found that Sun Moba and Han Cheng had not rested yet, and seemed to be waiting for him to come back.

"Boss, how's the battle going?" Sun Moba asked urgently.

Hong Tianbao glanced at the guy and said, "What else?" Of course it's either you die or I'm dead! It's good that you don't go, otherwise it will be miserable. All right! Sleep, there's still something to do at dawn! ”

After speaking, Hong Tianbao ignored Sun Moba and Han Cheng's eyes, and walked into a room by himself.

After dawn, Hong Tianbao and Sun Moba ate the breakfast prepared by Han Cheng and left quietly. When I returned to the museum, I found that Yan Lao and the others had also eaten and were chatting in the hall. Tang Xin sulked on the side, Hong Tianbao and Sun Moba knew everything about it last night except for what happened after they arrived at Han Cheng's club. Obviously, she didn't expect so many things to happen, and she regretted that she didn't follow along.

"Hmmm! Coming back? Tianbao had a good harvest last night! Yan Lao said with a smile, in fact, there is another sentence in his heart: the movement is not small.

"Huh! Okay, by the way, when will the identification work start? Hong Tianbao didn't explain much.

Tang Xin said in a strange voice: "Last night's wind and snow were enough, right?" Some people are happy! ”

Yan Lao smiled bitterly, since the morning, this girl has been pulling a face. Everyone has to be careful, for fear of touching this girl's moldy head.

"Xiao Chen informed just now that the appraisal work will be carried out in the afternoon." In fact, Director Chen's intentions are strictly understood, and it is nothing more than to let his group rest for a while.

Sun Moba saw that Tang Xin was angry, this guy was happy, and hurriedly added fuel to the fire and stimulated: "Hehe! Last night was cool! Not only is there wine, but also beautiful women to accompany you, wahaha! ”

Tang Xin was already angry, but after Sun Moba's anger, an angry face slowly rose.

Hong Tianbao saw that this girl was about to breathe fire, first glared at Sun Moba fiercely, and then immediately opened his mouth to change the topic.

"I ran into a Zhu imitation last night, Yan Lao, take a look." After speaking, Hong Tianbao took out the smoky blue vase from his backpack.

Hong Tianbao's words really diverted everyone's attention, and Tang Xin forgot to settle accounts with Sun Moba.

Elder Yan solemnly moved over the smoky blue vase and took a closer look.

"Huh! Tianbao, did you go back to the ghost market later? Expert Chen asked in surprise. It's no wonder they were surprised, before they left, Hong Tianbao only had two treasures, and they didn't see this porcelain!

"No, but I went to a friend's place, and I spent the night with him last night." Hong Tianbao explained.

When Tang Xin heard this, he realized that Sun Moba was deliberately angry with her just now. She then wondered: "You also have friends in Wuhan?" ”

"My grandson has friends all over the world, how can you refer to Tianjiao? Poor worm. Sun Moba said sarcastically.

Hong Tianbao rubbed his head and secretly scolded Sun Moba for having nothing to do, people don't seem to be asking you, right? This time, Tang Xin was not angry, pursed his lips and retorted: "Poor worms are better than some parasites, right?" I was born to know that it is better to raise a pig than to eat. ”

Hong Tianbao glanced at the two of them, and Sun Moba and Tang Xin both received Hong Tianbao's warning and immediately kept silent.

After a long time, Yan Laocai sighed and said: "Sure enough, it's Zhu Fang, I thought there would be no Zhu Fang in Wuhan!" I didn't expect to run to the door before I started the identification. ”

Hong Tianbao took out the wooden carving from his bag again, put it on the table and said, "Elder Yan, you are helping me look at this thing, I don't recognize the origin of this thing." ”

Hong Tianbao can't even recognize the things in the calendar? Everyone present was interested.

Yan Lao picked up the wood carving again, and found the difference between this wood carving at a glance. Ordinary wood carvings are carved from a piece of wood, but this one is divided into many parts. Each part of the cow is a reading body, and the whole wooden ox seems to be an assembled object.

"This thing is amazing, my grandson was so frightened that he would get up and walk." Seeing this wooden cow, Sun Moba still had some palpitations. It's as scary as seeing a corpse suddenly stand up and turn into a zombie and jump.

"Huh? Get up and walk? Tricks? "Everyone, Sun Moba's words are not light.

Yan Lao observed the wooden ox in his hand again, and finally handed it to Hong Tianbao and said, "Tianbao, you can show everyone." "Yan Lao found that the object was an object from the Three Kingdoms period, if it was really like what Sun Moba said, then he probably knew the origin of this wooden cow.

Hong Tianbao took the wooden cow and made the same movements as before. He first dug out the sunken ring of the cow's nose with his fingernails, and saw a silk chain attached, and a tug-of-war sound came from the wooden cow's belly. Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Hong Tianbao also placed the wooden cow on the empty table, and then let go of the hand that grabbed the cow's nose ring.

Because of the pull of the silk chain, the cow's nose retracted, and the sound of the cow's belly became more frequent. Everyone stared at the incredible scene with wide eyes, and the wooden cow actually moved.

I saw that its tail shook a few times, and then the whole bull's head twisted left and right twice, as if it had just woken up. The two lying corbels got up, and the hind legs also stood up. He first looked left and right twice in a daze, then shook the bull's head twice, raised his head to the sky and opened his mouth, as if he was screaming towards the sky, and finally lowered his head and began to walk around the table.

Even Elder Yan watched the performance of the wooden cow with relish, with a pleasing smile on his face. He could almost determine the identity of this wooden cow, from the age of the object, the carving technique and this sophisticated technique, it can be seen that this wooden cow should be from the hand of Kong Ming.

Waiting for the wooden cow to wait, Tang Xin immediately snatched it and played with it.

"Hey! You mean that Tianjiao can't be a little better? It's a shame that you're still a member of a big family. Sun Moba said with a glare.

"It's your business! This treasure is not yours. Tang Xin is not afraid of bickering.

Yan Lao smiled happily: "Haha! Tianbao's luck is still as good as ever, and this wooden cow has a lot of origins. ”

Hearing Elder Yan's words, everyone looked at Elder Yan and looked forward to his next step. Except for Yan Lao, none of the people present knew the specific origin of this wooden cow.

Seeing everyone's eyes focused, Yan Lao first took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then asked, "Have you all heard the story of the wooden cow and the flowing horse?" ”

The experts present instantly widened their eyes, and Expert Chen swallowed his saliva and asked, "This wooden cow can't be the wooden cow invented by Zhuge Liang, right?" ”

"That's not right! Legend has it that Kong Ming invented the wooden ox and the flowing horse to be transported, and this wooden ox seems to be a little small, right? Hong Tianbao pointed to the wooden ox in Tang Xin's hand and said.

Although the Wooden Ox Flowing Horse is just a legend, no one today has ever seen a real Wooden Ox Flowing Horse, but they have all heard some introductions.

It is said that the wooden ox and flowing horse, which was invented by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, are divided into wooden cattle and flowing horses. Zhuge Liang was used in the Northern Expedition, and its carrying capacity was "one-year-old grain", about 400 catties or more, and each trip was "dozens of miles for special travelers, and 20 miles for group travelers", providing food for the 100,000 army of Shu. However, the exact manner and appearance are still unknown, and there are different interpretations of them.

"Huh! I didn't say this is a wooden cow for transportation! In fact, there are some secrets about the wooden ox and flowing horse, and it is not surprising that you don't know. Legend has it that before Zhuge Liang was invited out of Hidden Dragon Mountain, he was proficient in mechanical techniques and invented many things, among which he was most satisfied with one person, one horse and one ox. Yan Lao recalled.

Seeing that everyone was fascinated by what they heard, Yan Lao continued: "Interestingly, Zhuge Liang's wife Huang is also an outstanding inventor, and the person I just mentioned was created by Huang. Of course, Zhuge Liang also participated. It is said that she invented a wooden figure that could be used to push the grinder, and as long as the mechanism was activated, the wooden man tirelessly pushed the stone mill. If the legend is true, then this wooden man became the first robot in human history. ”

"That cow can't be the thing in front of you, right?" Sun Moba was shocked when he heard this, and secretly said that this old guy did have a bit of talent for storytelling, so much so that he almost fell into it.

Yan Lao nodded, and then said: "Among the three treasures, this wooden cow is said to be the simplest, and that wooden horse is the top work. I heard that the Trojan horse has a pair of wings and can rise one mile into the air and travel two miles. ”

Hong Tianbao secretly said that Kong Ming was powerful, and when it came to Kong Ming's invention, Hong Tianbao's first thought was not these, but the crossbow and Kong Ming lantern.

"I don't believe it, can a piece of wood still fly into the sky and scare people?" After a while, Sun Moba shook his head and said.

"Huh! Before you saw it, would you believe that the wooden cow could walk? Yan Lao asked rhetorically, seeing that Sun Moba was stunned, he continued: "The plane is made of steel, even steel can ascend to the sky, why can't wood go up?" ”

Sun Moba was choked and speechless. Hong Tianbao was not surprised, Zhuge Liang has been the embodiment of wisdom since ancient times, and this martial marquis, who is good at internal affairs and strategy, has also left many mysteries in history, one of which is his manufacturing skills. Moreover, the first invention that can fly in the sky was made thousands of years ago by Kong Ming, and it is not surprising that Kong Ming invented a flying Trojan horse.

Hong Tianbao remembered that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lu Ban was engaged in great construction and tool inventions, and also invented a kind of "wooden kite" that could fly in the sky.

"The wisdom of the ancients is truly breathtaking!" Expert Chen sighed.

Everyone present nodded slightly in agreement.

In ancient times, science and technology were highly developed, and the art of mechanisms also had a long history. There were Mozi and Luban at the earliest, and later Kong Ming developed them to the peak. Some people have speculated that Kong Ming's mechanical production technique may have inherited the techniques of Mozi and Lu Ban during the Warring States period, and improved them into an amazing ancient technology.

As an important part of ancient Chinese culture, some of the techniques of ancient Chinese institutions have been passed down to the present day and become the cornerstone of modern science and technology. And many have been lost, lost in the vastness of history.
