Billy said the porcelain had been in an oxygen-free environment for too long to peel off the whale oil, which is now a protective layer that can only be peeled in a professional conservation environment.

Qin Shiou nodded and continued to ask, "Then the surprise you said is these porcelain?" I guess they're not worth much, right? ”

Billy's eyes widened and he said, "One may not be worth much, but do you know how many more of these porcelains are in there?" And the value of porcelain is not in the individual but in the whole, I bet there must be a lot of complete sets of porcelain in the underwater shipwreck, which together could be an Alla-porcelana auction. ”

Qin Shiou said that he understood, and went to see those gold and silver coins, which were the common currency of Spain in the seventeenth century, because Spain was one of the maritime hegemons in that era, so their currency was used in many countries and regions, and there were a lot of leftovers, but few of them were so well preserved.

In addition to gold and silver coins, some gold and silver tableware were also fished out of the wreck this time, of course, mainly silverware, and Qin Shiou only saw two soup spoons with carved handles. However, whether it is gold or silver, they are very valuable, because there was no gold and silver plating technology in that era, and these gold and silver objects are genuine.

Little Blake paid special attention to a silver soup pot with a pot stand, the diameter of the stand is half a meter, the diameter of the soup pot is more than 40 centimeters, the appearance is simple, but the decoration is full of characteristics: relief grooves, beaded edges, lion masks, lion claws, its lid has two silver snakes crossed necks to form handles, Little Blake says it has a delicate neoclassical style.

Qin Shiou didn't understand any neoclassical style. I don't know what the sculpture on the soup pot represents, and little Blake wants to explain it to him. He shook his head and said no, I guess he wouldn't need it normally.

Billy shows little Black a silver cup the size of a teacup. The silver cup fell off, and it had a sleeve with roses crossed over it, and a small sheep's head skull on the lid.

Little Black thought about it for a moment and asked, "Don't tell me, it's Corrison Jensen's work!" ”

Billy smirked, "Of course, of course, Rose and Satan's sheep's head are Collisson's favorites, and if you look closely, you'll see that these branches are crossed into two letters, C and Z." If that doesn't mean that the silver cup is Collisson's work, how can you prove it? ”

Qin Shiou looked up the name of Collisen-Jensen on the Internet, and the search results were very few, only some research materials searched for this name, saying that this was a famous gold and silver master in Spain in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Little Black and Billy were discussing gold and silverware, and he had no interest in it, so he went to see the longbow.

At first, he only saw the longbow, but now when he looked closer, he realized that the lower part of the glass case was made of stainless steel. Inside was an armored suit with a grimace mask, shoulder chains, large and small protective holsters, and a set of chain mail, as well as a belt and leather pouch made of iron hinges.

"Hey, Billy. How did you get it? Qin Shiou asked with a little surprise.

Billy asked, "How did you get it?" You say this English longbow and this set of archer armor? Fished from a pirate shipwreck, of course. ”

Qin Shiou laughed dryly, he quickly closed his mouth, and only then did he realize that he had missed his mouth. He was strange. Obviously, according to his observations, there were only one whale oil barrel in the wreck. And the longbow that was taller than a man was too small to hold it.

There is also this set of archer armor. There were also traces of whale oil on it, but it didn't seem like the whale oil bucket could hold the chain mail.

These can't be said, Qin Shiou held his doubts in his heart. But this is not surprising, Billy is a serious treasure hunter compared to him, maybe the bow and arrow and armor are hidden in some hidden part of the shipwreck, he didn't find it, Billy did.

So, all four of them have a role to play in this combination.

Billy didn't pay attention to his words, thinking that he had a special interest in longbows, so he asked, "Would you like to try this bow and arrow?" This is the English longbow, probably the most domineering bow in the history of the world. When I cleaned it up before, I found that the bow and arrow were well preserved and still functional. ”

Qin Shiou said: "I think the most domineering bow and arrow in the world is the divine arm bow in the history of our Song Dynasty, which is more powerful than the English longbow!" ”

Little Black immediately jumped out and said firmly: "I know the Divine Arm Bow, but I don't think it can compare to our longbow, our longbow is definitely the strongest bow in the world!" ”

If the AK-47 is the pride of the Russians in the history of weapons, and nuclear weapons are the pride of the Americans, then this huge longbow is the pride of the English in the history of weapons.

Little Blake was an immigrant of English descent with the pride and dignity inherent in the old aristocracy of the British Empire, and if the longbow was provoked, his pride and dignity were provoked, and he had to defend that.

In the case of cold weapons, the British have a affection for the longbow that no weapon can match, and this has to start with their history.

In 1066, the conquerors from Normandy decreed that the Anglo-Saxon propertied persons who submitted were not allowed to possess knightly equipment, but bows and arrows were not forbidden. Soon, the old and young remnants of the former dynasties were equipped with such "legal" weapons, while ordinary people and "inferior people" such as serfs were not even allowed to possess such weapons that were not "noble" enough.

Later, Edward the Great allowed the whole people to be able to shoot on horseback, and the common people felt that this was an elevation of their social status, so whether it was a nobleman or an ordinary person, whether rich or poor, they would train their hunting skills from time to time.

A few years later, Europe entered an era of war, and even after the advent of muskets, English longbowmen were the most formidable troops on the continent. This class of troops has won Britain numerous victories and dignity, protected its territorial integrity, and robbed it of a great deal of territory and resources.

So, from top to bottom, the British have a different kind of affection for the longbow.

Qin Shiou felt that this kind of topic was not worth arguing, and then he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, the English longbow is the most powerful, so why don't you take it out and show it for me to see?" Also, why didn't I notice that you were interested in this powerful longbow? ”

Little Blake laughed at his words, and muttered, "I will only tell you an objective fact, because the English longbow is indeed the strongest bow and arrow in the world." There is also an objective fact that I like money far more than longbow ......" (To be continued. )
