Chapter 523: Hot Hands
readx;??? ps: Thank you for the three saints, the glory, and the ten thousand times!
Looking at the direction of the big snake, several people looked at each other, and suddenly, I don't know who took the lead, everyone laughed, this is the legendary treasure place, there must be spirit beasts to guard each other? Looking at the appearance of the big snake's knowledge, it can barely be regarded as a little bit of spirit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at the piles of metal detector parts, and then at the full backpack, the military advisor frowned, and it seemed that he would have to go back to the hotel one more time to get his things done.
"Back to the hotel? What about sparrows? Didn't he go back? ”
Sparrow?! Several people suddenly let out an exclamation, and the robot cat rushed in the direction of Lake Crane even more quickly, this guy is probably still swimming in Lake Crane at this time, but the big snake is also going in that direction!
In the hotel, the harvest was divided into three piles, neatly arranged on the large bed, one pile of thousands of diamonds between one carat and ten carats, the other pile of twenty-four December flower god cups and some scrolls wrapped in thick plastic, and a pile of six emerald watermelons that shimmered with a blurred treasure.
"Is there really such a strange jadeite?"
Meng Yao looked at it for a while, and carefully picked up half a piece of green-skinned watermelon.
Wu Di smiled and shook his head,
"This is not jadeite, this should be tourmaline, it seems that those studies are still at some level."
"Research? There are no physical objects, how can you study them? ”
"In nature, the color combination characteristics of green (green) skin and red pulp are only possessed by bicolor tourmaline, and similarly, the color combination of white skin powder pulp or green skin yellow hull is also an optical feature that only bicolor tourmaline has, but the composition color is somewhat different. Moreover, American gemological textbooks and gemological papers also directly name this green-skinned red or green-skinned pink tourmaline as "watermelon tourmaline", which is probably the direct origin of the late Qing Dynasty Qing court to call the tourmaline imported from the United States as "watermelon" or "melon". ”
After Wu Di finished talking about the information in his memory, he suddenly remembered the piece of jade watermelon he bought in Hong Kong some time ago, and couldn't help but be stunned. If the study is reliable, what is it?
The robot cat nodded, and continued:
According to the tourmaline trade information provided by the San Diego Natural History Museum in the United States, from 1902, the second year after the Gengzi Incident, to 1908, when Cixi returned to heaven, the Empress Dowager Cixi asked the palace office to purchase several tons of various colors of tourmaline in San Diego, the United States, especially pink tourmaline, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, the total purchase volume reached 120 tons! Therefore, the material of this jade watermelon and melon is actually tourmaline. ”
Wu Di let go of the happy thing and glanced at the robot cat with a smile.
"The robot cat is very good at learning, come, tell them what is going on with the Twelve Flower God Cup."
"Twelve flower gods, each flower corresponds to a well-known beauty in history, for example, the apricot flower god in February is Yang Yuhuan, the lotus god in June is Xi Shi, the camellia god in November is Wang Zhaojun, and the daffodil god in December is Luoshen. And this set. It is based on the theme of the moon season flower in November and is accompanied by blue and white poems in regular script, which should be regarded as a relatively rare variety in the cup of the twelve flower gods......"
As he listened, he grabbed a handful of diamonds and let them slip through his fingers. hit the pile of diamonds, making a "whoosh" sound,
"I've seen a lot of these things, and slowly I don't feel anything. Alas......"
"No, you see, the diamonds are so big here. There's also a little bit of rose red, if it's made into a pendant, it fits with my sweater, and this, this should be a sapphire, right? This shape is also beautiful to make earrings! Help me see, there should be a matching ......"
Meng Yao rummaged through the pile of diamonds with great interest, taking out one from time to time and discussing it with the two women. Wen Wei just pursed her lips, and the green snake smiled and helped on the side, although she was a special soldier with strict training, she was also a woman, and she was a woman who had never seen so many diamonds piled together!
"Adi, don't you open these scrolls and take a look?"
Wen Wei asked, pointing to the plastic rolls that were placed with the Flower God Cup.
"This has to wait until we go back to Mr. Yang to open it together, otherwise, if the pigment oxidizes because of the long-term lack of contact with the air, it will be a big loss."
The robot cat nodded and asked:
"Fifth brother, what to do with these things? Or do you want to go back to China the same way? ”
"Well, go the old way back to China, especially these scrolls and emerald watermelons, you must be careful and careful. In this way, there are more things this time, and you and the military advisor are responsible for this matter, so you must send these things back to China safely. ”
Wu Di watched the two of them carefully put away their things, and said with a smile:
"Let's rest early today, you will leave early tomorrow morning, and we will play in Berlin for a few days before going to Munich."
After a night of silence, the next morning, as soon as I turned on the computer, the signboard of the ninth antique betting contest had been freshly released. Originally, having seen eight national treasures, Wu Di felt that there was no way to move him anymore, but when he saw this ninth thing, he couldn't help but be shocked. Because, this thing is actually one of the most important founding documents of the United States - the "Declaration of Independence", if it is only a printed version of the "Declaration of Independence", in fact, it is nothing, but the introduction says that this copy is actually the chairman of the Continental Congress, John? Hancock's handwritten original!
Grandma's, it's actually a handwritten manuscript? How dare it be a handwritten manuscript? How could he just write the original manuscript by hand? These madmen, aren't you afraid that some people will go crazy and tear you apart?
Wu Di was stunned and looked at the "Declaration of Independence" on the computer, which was indeed a handwritten manuscript, but he didn't know whether it was true or false, and for a while, Fang shook his head weakly, "Declaration of Independence"? John? Hancock's handwritten original? Sister, why don't you just bet on the whole atomic bomb!
Forget it, don't argue about this one, it's so hot, even if it's not a real atomic bomb, it should be almost equivalent to an antique atomic bomb. You can imagine if anyone really dares to take the He's Bi version of the heirloom jade seal as a bet, what the reaction of the whole Huaxia will be, you know how hot this thing is.
He sat quietly in front of his computer, and the history of the Declaration of Independence slowly slipped through his mind.
In June 1776, the group of five in Massachusetts, then a colony, decided to gather to draft a proclamation to declare its independence. Five-person resolution, manifesto by Thomas? Jefferson drafted it independently and presented it to Franklin and Adams, and Franklin alone revised at least 48 of them.
On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress resolved to adopt this declaration, the first handwritten draft of which was written by the president of the Continent, John Brown, President of the Continental Congress. Hancock with secretary Charles? After Townsend signed it, he was sent to John? Printed by the Danglip Printing Factory, 150 to 200 copies of the printed edition were produced that night, which is now called the Danglip Single-Sided Printing Plate. The 25 surviving single-sided copies of the Declaration of Independence are the oldest surviving copies of the Declaration of Independence, and the original handwritten manuscript has long since been lost.
However, I didn't expect that in a mere gambling competition, he would dare to take out the handwritten manuscript of the year as a bet, among them, if there was no problem, Wu Di would not believe it!
Now, there is no need for any additional publicity, or even translation into Chinese, Japanese, Latin, German, etc., and the news with a keen sense of smell will stir it up! Just, are these casino owners really crazy? Aren't they afraid of pressure from all sides of the United States?
"Little Five, did you see that freshly baked thing? I mean, these people are so fucking powerful, you say, this thing is all out, won't the U.S. government intervene? However, they dared to use it as a bet...... Why do I think this betting contest is getting weirder? ”
Wu Di's phone rang, it was Chi Menghua.
Uncanny? That's right, it's weird! Although the eight items in front of them can be called national treasures, and taking them as a bet will also cause strong repercussions from officials and people in various countries, this one is really different, and the political significance is too huge to be incomparable!
There was a beep in the microphone, and someone called him again, Wu Di glanced at it, and hurriedly said to Chi Menghua:
"I'll call you later, Master has called."
As soon as the phone was connected, Chang Lao burst into laughter,
"See that new thing? How is it, Little Five, are you sure? ”
"Grasp? What certainty? ”
Wu Di blinked in confusion.
"Are you sure you can win it back?"
"Master, you keep saying it's the Declaration of Independence? Oh my God, this is a big trouble, I guess except for those old beauties, everyone is avoiding it, who dares to take the initiative to make it up?! ”
"Hehe, you're wrong, I guess not only Lao Mei will make up, but people from other countries will also fight for it! Still haven't figured it out yet? If you don't figure it out, don't think about it, just do what the master tells you to do, remember, you must find a way to win it back! Even if the other nine pieces are lost, this one must be in your hands! ”
The other nine are lost, and this one is also in your hands? No way? Don't want your own national treasure, go grab this hot potato? Wu Di's little face cried and mourned,
"Master, even if you win, you can't take it out of the country, right? Also, maybe this thing will be replaced in a while, how can such a serious thing be allowed to be determined by gambling over there? ”
"Since they dare to take it out, they must be sure that they will not cause trouble, at least, they will not be in trouble until its ownership is determined. So, you don't have to worry about anything, go out of your way to take it down first. Hmph, it doesn't matter if you can't get out of the realm at all, the key is whose hands it is! ”
"Master, what you mean by ......" (To be continued.) )
