"When Louis XIV made France a European power, his prestige reached its zenith, and life began to degenerate in luxury, most notably with the construction of the Palace of Versailles, which was one of Louis XIV's strategies to centralize political power.

Louis XIV completed the efforts of Richelieu and Mazarin to establish a centralized* nation-state. He weakened the nobility by turning them into members of his court, removing them from their rights as magistrates. For this purpose, he built the Palace of Versailles.

The Palace of Versailles is magnificent, with artistic furnishings and décor. More than 500 large halls and small halls are full of gold and luxury. The interior is decorated with carved paintings and tapestries, and furnished with exquisite 1718th-century furniture.

The palace is also home to precious works of art from around the world, including ancient Chinese porcelain from far and wide. In addition to decorating the interior with human figures, the interior is also decorated with animal figures such as lions, eagles, and unicorns.

Some of them are also cast into stair railings made of metal, and some metal fittings are also gilded with marble in various colors, which looks very brilliant. In addition to the semicircular arches like the Hall of Mirrors, the ceiling also has flat and hemispherical domes, and there are reliefs in addition to paintings on the ceiling.

In the style of Louis XIV, it was entirely possible to create a golden scepter. We've already tested the time of the existence of the particles above, about three hundred and twenty years, which should be about the same time as the time was made. Lin An'er nodded and gave an affirmative reply.

"Haha, if this is the scepter used by Louis XIV, then the French will not spend more money to buy it back, this is really developed." Lin Fan laughed, what he lacked most now was money, and with money, his development plan could be accelerated a lot.

"The items belonging to the era of Louis XIV are not only this scepter, but there are also several things that have existed for about the same time as this scepter, which should also be from that period." An An said as she displayed several other things on the display, including a pair of silver candlesticks, a golden mural with a missing corner, and a silver plate.

Lin Fan saw that these objects had a completely different style from the items in the history of China, and the surrounding patterns and styles were in line with the lines on the gold scepter, so it can be determined that they were all items from the French Middle Ages, although the value was not as good as the gold scepter, but it could also be worth a lot of money.

"It's good, it's great. I'm sure I'll be able to get a lot of money from the French this time. Lin Fan laughed as he pondered what to do with the items.

"There's no need to worry, those intelligent mimic guards can just send someone abroad, and they can find an identity to dispose of these things, and there will be no problems." Lin An'er seemed to know what Lin Fan was worried about, and these were not worth mentioning at all in her opinion, and with her ability, it was no problem to control all the networks on the entire earth.

"By the way, what else is there?" Lin Fan knew that there were not only these few things found on that warship, but also some other things.

"There are 35 kilograms of gold, 78 kilograms of silver, and one other thing that is also very valuable, if the information I found is correct, this thing may be one of the lost national treasures of your country."

Lin An'er's words attracted Lin Fan's attention, he only glanced at those things a few times at that time, and he didn't know them, and there were even national treasure-level things among them.

At this time, a white jade cup appeared on the display screen, with a length of 6 cm, a width of 4 cm, and a height of 3 cm.

"I checked the information, this jade cup carved from white jade should be the Nine Dragons Jade Cup, which is said to be owned by the emperor Kangxi in the history of China, and was later buried with Emperor Kangxi.

We have tested the age of the particles on the jade cup, which is about 300 years, which is consistent with the time when the Kangxi Emperor ruled China. In addition, we conducted experiments based on the records, and when the cup was filled with wine, nine churning dragons were immediately visible, which was completely consistent with the situation of the Nine Dragons Jade Cup. Lin An'er said with a smile.

There are many stories about the Nine Dragons Jade Cup, one of which is that during the Kangxi period, Yang Xiangwu, a Jiangyang thief, sneaked into the palace three times to steal this jade cup and did not get it, which increased the fame of the Nine Dragons Jade Cup.

So the characters in the rivers and lakes all take obtaining this cup as the greatest glory. After the death of Emperor Kangxi, the Nine Dragons Jade Cup was buried in Jingling as Kangxi's beloved object. Although all kinds of characters are salivating, the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum is heavily guarded, and the Nine Dragons Jade Cup is only preserved in the Kangxi Mausoleum.

However, many sources record that the Nine Dragons Jade Cup was lost in 1945, when it was stolen from the Jingling by a group of tomb robbers, and the thieves were executed one after another, but the Nine Dragons Jade Cup was lost.

"I didn't expect that the disappearance of the Nine Dragons Jade Cup was not stolen by thieves before liberation at all, as recorded in the data, but it had been stolen as early as when France invaded China, and then it was silent at the bottom of the sea for more than a hundred years." Lin Fan sighed, excited in his heart, he didn't expect that he would be able to find a national treasure.

Speaking of national treasures, I am afraid that everyone is most familiar with the bronze heads of the 12 zodiac signs of the Old Summer Palace, but it is a pity that only some of them have returned to China now, and there are several bronze heads with no footprints, and their whereabouts are unknown.

The 12 bronze heads of the Old Summer Palace were originally the fountain ornaments in front of the Haiyan Hall in the Changchun Garden of the Old Summer Palace, and the British and French forces invaded BJ when they launched the second ** war, burned the Old Summer Palace, and plundered a large number of precious cultural relics, and the 12 bronze heads of the Old Summer Palace were among them. Later, the invading army gathered these precious cultural relics together and auctioned them cheaply, resulting in a heart-wrenching loss overseas.

At present, the rat head and rabbit head are collected by the French; The bronze statues of the head of the ox, the head of the monkey, the head of the tiger, the head of the pig, the head of the sheep and the head of the horse have been returned to China and are collected in the Poly Art Museum; The dragon's head, the snake's head, the chicken's head, and the dog's head are missing.

These bronze heads, made of an alloy of fused precious metals, are made of an ingenious internal mechanism, and it is said that when a little water is poured into them, they can be sprayed continuously for two hours.

The mechanism in the horse's head is the most exquisite, and the mechanism inside drives the other eleven songs, and as soon as it is noon, that is, the hour of the horse's representation, the horse's head begins to spray water, and the other bronze heads also begin to spray water, and the glow is brilliant and gorgeous.

Among them, the pig's head and the horse capital were obtained from the auction by the famous patriot Mr. Stanley Ho and returned to the museum in China, which also made Mr. Stanley Ho deeply loved by the Chinese people.

As for Mr. Stanley Ho's opposite, another Chinese collector Cai Mingchao, it is said that at an auction in France, there were rat heads and rabbit heads, Cai Mingchao auctioned them on the spot, but later did not pay, so that these two bronze heads are still in exile abroad and have become the object of hatred of the Chinese people.

"When my power becomes stronger in the future, I must buy back all the national treasures of China that have been scattered overseas. Moreover, some national treasures may be hidden deep in the sea like this Nine Dragons Jade Cup, so I have to work hard to develop the treasures in the sea. ”

Lin Fan quickly adjusted his mentality, he had already decided to dedicate this Nine Dragon Jade Cup to the country, but it was definitely not offered now, and he would have to wait until a suitable opportunity to take it out.

The sky outside gradually brightened, and the sun jumped out of the sea like a fiery red ball, reflecting the whole sea red, but it did not feel the heat.

Everyone also slowly came out and began to move on the deck, Zhang Zhide beckoned Li Hu and others to help make breakfast, while Chen Chaoguo was rinsing his mouth on the side of the ship, his eyes were rolling around, with a sneer in the corner of his eyes.

At this time, the Golden Pearl was still a day's journey from Dongzhou Fishing Port, and Lin Fan was no longer ready to go to the net, although there was still some space in the cold storage, but Lin Fan thought about it and forgot it, it was not that bad.

At this time, what everyone didn't know was that there were already three medium-sized offshore fishing boats surrounding the direction of the Golden Pearl, all of which were filled with some fierce and evil people, and they even had guns and other weapons in their hands, and the target was the fat sheep of the Golden Pearl.

However, within a radius of fifty miles around the Golden Pearl, there are eight flying machines scattered on the bottom of the sea, all of which are as nimble as swimming fish, detecting movements around and within miles above the sea.

Just when the three fishing boats were still sixty miles away from the Golden Pearl, suddenly a flying machine detected their presence, and immediately cut into their communication system, and quickly figured out their identities.

"Report to the captain, there's a situation ahead."

Lin Fan was continuing to practice in the room, when he suddenly received a report from the aircraft in front of him, and there was also a clear picture, showing the activities of the characters on the three fishing boats, including the various weapons they carried.

"Confirm their identities and figure out what they want to do?" Lin Fan immediately dispatched Lin Yi'er in front to command four flying machines to approach each other, leaving Lin Liang'er to command the other four flying machines to disperse behind to be on guard.

"Captain, their identities have been confirmed, the three fishing boats all belong to the Tianlong Fishing Company, and they are all medium-sized offshore fishing vessels. However, in the records of the Fisheries Administration, they have not been to sea for a long time, and they have not applied to go to sea in the past few days, so they should be considered to have gone to sea without permission.

We cut into their communication systems and found that they mentioned the Golden Pearl, which is likely to be directed at your fishing boat, Captain. ”

Soon, Lin Yi'er sent a message, which made Lin Fan frown when he heard it, and he couldn't understand why someone was eyeing his fishing boat, could it be that someone on the fishing boat had leaked secrets. >
