Chapter 209: The Honeymoon Returns to Chang'an (4)
Pepe had already made a statement when he took a shower before.
She explained to her husband, Austin, that while she was a student at Stanford University, she bought a large, old-fashioned carved wardrobe while visiting a nearby flea market, and then by chance, found a secret compartment in the closet. At the beginning, she did not get the support of her family to start her own company, but only raised a large amount of start-up capital after auctioning a few famous paintings found in the dark grid.
In addition to the three famous paintings that were auctioned off, there is also a map made of cowhide. The only sign on the map with text was "River of the Great Canoe", and she didn't know where the river was at the time, so she left the map behind.
She didn't tell anyone about this at the time, and she didn't think of the map as a treasure map at first. Later, after Austin bought Koizumi Villa, there was another incident of snake pika, and because of this, she thought of the help of the Guò Indians to catch the golden eagle and solve the problem by the food chain.
On the way to the golden eagle's lair, the group passed by a river, and the Indians who led the way told her that they had been accustomed to call it "the river of the great canoe" for generations, and only then did she remember the map she had left behind.
Later, Pepe returned to the "Great Canoe River" again, and followed the signs on the treasure map to dig up three tin boxes upstream of the "Great Canoe River".
After she brought the tin box back to Koizumi Villa, she opened it and found that it was full of antiques from China. She was pleasantly surprised and excited. It is speculated that these cultural relics and antiques from China were probably exiled to Europe and the United States during the Opium War, and they should have been left to future generations by the ancestors of the person who sold the carved wardrobes to her, but they finally cheapened her by mistake.
Austin was dumbfounded when he heard this story, the whole process was simply too bizarre, and after listening to the whole story, Austin hugged his wife and kissed her, calling her God's favorite.
Pepe felt a little weak, but what else could he say if he didn't explain it like this? Does she want to sue her husband that she is the reincarnation of a thousand-year-old ghost? She has a magical space? It's even more bizarre!
The human heart is unpredictable, and human nature cannot stand the test! She doesn't want to be caught slice by some research institute!
Regarding her origin and the Yujue space she hides in her divine consciousness, she has long decided that she will not even tell her parents in this life. Not to mention her husband!
Austin, who was pressed on her, kissed and kissed, and gradually became more and more tasteful. By the time her mind was rolling, the pajamas had been unconsciously removed by Austin, and then only the wheezing of the young couple could be heard in the room
――――――――――――――――――――
The next day, after Pepe and Austin were fully dressed. Set off with the tour guide. Started today's trip.
Came to Xi'an. How can you not visit and browse the "Terracotta Warriors of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huangdi", which is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World"!
As early as 1987, the "Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huangdi" has been included in the list of world cultural heritage protection, and has been visited and visited by more than 200 national leaders.
"Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huangdi" is a golden business card of ancient China's glorious civilization. The "Terracotta Warriors and Horses" is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of world archaeology.
Former French President Jacques Chirac once said after visiting the Qin Warriors: "There are seven wonders in the world, and the discovery of the Qin Warriors can be said to be the eighth wonder." If you don't look at the Qin figurines, you can't count as having been to China. ”
"Terracotta Warriors and Horses" is listed as one of the world's top ten unsolved mysteries! (The mystery of the sinking of the Titanic, the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster, the death of Kennedy, the Terracotta Warriors, the UFO, the mystery of the ghost, the mystery of the fall of the Korean airliner, the mystery of spontaneous combustion of the human body, the mystery of miracles, the mystery of the Shroud.) )
Austin's willingness to agree with his wife's opinion and make Xi'an the last stop of his honeymoon is also for the world-famous "Terracotta Warriors of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huangdi".
The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is the world's largest underground military museum. A total of three figurine pits have been discovered so far (the fourth figurine pit was made public in 2012).
When cleaning the first hole of the No. 1 pit of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, archaeologists found that a bronze sword was bent by a pottery surge of 150 kilograms, and its bending distance was more than 45 degrees.
The "morphological memory alloy" dreamed of by contemporary metallurgists actually appeared in ancient tombs more than 2,200 years ago.
Why the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang are listed in the world's top ten unsolved mysteries, and the various bronze weapons unearthed by it that have not been oxidized are one of the reasons.
A batch of bronze swords have been unearthed in the No. 2 figurine pit, and archaeologists were surprised to find that these bronze swords, which had been sleeping in the loess for more than 2,200 years, were still as bright as new and extremely sharp when they were unearthed.
After testing, the researchers found that the surface of the bronze swords had a layer of chromium salt compound 10 microns thick. This discovery immediately caused a sensation all over the world, because this treatment method of chromium salt oxidation is only an advanced process that has appeared in modern times, and Germany in 1937 and the United States in 1950 have invented and applied for patents.
This discovery shocked the world!
At the same time, it also proves that the earliest invention of the antiseptic treatment method with chromium salt oxidation was the Chinese BC.
In fact, the method of chromium salt oxidation treatment is by no means an invention of the Qin Shi Huang era, as early as the earlier Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the Chinese have mastered this advanced process.
During the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemonic Period, King Goujian of Yue "tasted courage while lying on salary", defeated Wu Wangfucha in one fell swoop, and performed the last scene of the Spring and Autumn hegemony in history. The passage of time has made this thrilling war quietly sleep in the long scrolls of history, and the busy descendants have almost forgotten it.
However, when an archaeological team was excavating the ancient tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period, they accidentally found a long sword stained with mud. A line of ancient seals on the body of the sword -- "Yue Wang Goujian's own sword" jumped into people's eyes. This heavy archaeological discovery immediately caused a sensation throughout the country, but even more sensational news came from the scientific research report on the ancient sword.
The first thing that caught the researchers' attention was: why didn't this ancient sword rust after nearly 2,500 years of being buried in the ground? Why is it still cold and sharp? Further research by Tong Guò found that the reason why the "Yue Wang Goujian Sword" was stainless for thousands of years was that the sword body was plated with a layer of chromium-containing metal.
Chromium is a rare metal that is extremely resistant to corrosion, and the chromium content in the earth's rocks is very low, and it is very difficult to extract. In addition, chromium is also a high-temperature resistant metal, and its melting point is 1857C.
How the ancient Chinese extracted "chromium" more than 2,500 years ago is also one of the mysteries of archaeologists around the world.
There were too many secrets in ancient Chinese civilization. Who could have imagined. The scientific invention of the fifties of this century appeared more than 400 years ago? Who would have imagined that the "Morphological Memory Alloy" long sword wielded by Qin Shi Huang's soldiers turned out to be a masterpiece that modern science has not yet invented?
Pepe and Austin took many commemorative photos in the world-famous Terracotta Warriors. The young couple found a farmhouse near the attraction to settle their lunch. In the afternoon, we continued to visit the "Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum".
The "Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum" presents many cultural relics unearthed from the Qin Warriors.
Shaping of the Terracotta Army. Basically, it is based on real life, and the technique is delicate and bright. The costume and demeanor of each terracotta figurine are different. The facial expressions of these sergeant figurines, standing figurines, kneeling figurines, samurai figurines, military officer figurines, cavalry figurines, and rider figurines are vivid, and there are many kinds of hairstyles of the characters alone. The gestures also vary, and from their attire, expressions, and gestures, you can tell whether they are officers or soldiers, infantry or cavalry.
In addition to the unearthed terracotta warriors, the museum also presents a lot of unearthed weapons. The chrome-plated bronze sword that shocked the world is displayed in the museum.
In addition, the museum also presents many relics and painted paintings from the Qin period.
Pepe and Austin visited the various unearthed cultural relics presented by the entire museum, and in the process of visiting, the county lord of Chinese descent was particularly proud, and introduced the splendid history of ancient Chinese civilization to her husband along the way.
After the trip to the Qin Warriors, the young couple came to the snack street again.
This time, Austin was more excited than his wife, and the hungry couple continued to eat from the street to the end of the street, and then held their stomachs to eat, and the two strolled through the streets and alleys of the ancient city, looking for the historical appearance of the ancient city, while enjoying a leisurely stroll.
On the morning of the fourth day in Xi'an, the young couple rushed to visit Famen Temple in Baoji City.
The underground palace of Famen Temple is the largest underground palace under the tower that has been seen so far. The underground palace of Baoji Famen Temple has unearthed many supreme treasures of Buddhism, such as Shakyamuni Buddha's finger bone relics, copper floating slaughter, eightfold treasure letter, silver flower double wheel and twelve rings tin staff. The Treasure Hall of Famen Temple has more than 2,000 pieces of national treasures of the Tang Dynasty unearthed in the underground palace of Famen Temple, which is the largest temple in the world.
As early as the Tang Dynasty where Pepe lived in his last life, Famen Temple has become a sacred place for Buddhism worshiped by the royal dynasties.
When Pepe was still the mother of the county lord, she followed her aunt to visit this royal temple several times. So, this time, she also came with a feeling of nostalgia for the old place.
The wooden pagoda dedicated to the Buddha's bone relics that was named "Sanssouci Temple True Body Pagoda" by her Azu Tang Taizong is now long gone.
In the third year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty (1569 AD), an earthquake occurred in Fengxiang Mansion, and the four-level wooden tower of the Tang Dynasty with a history of hundreds of years finally collapsed completely. In the seventh year of Mingshenzong Wanli (1579 AD), the local gentleman Yang Yuchen, Dang Wanliang and other donors donated money to repair the tower, and it took 30 years to finally rebuild a brick tower with eight edges and thirteen levels on the original site.
The underground palace of Famen Temple is still hidden under the pagoda.
During the visit to Famen Temple, Pepe received a call from her assistant Fu Ya. Fu Ya and lawyer Hashim had arrived in Beijing at this time, and were waiting for their connecting flight, and they would arrive at Xi'an Xianyang International Airport at about 4 p.m.
It takes about two and a half hours to drive from Baoji to Xi'an if the road is smooth.
After Pepe and Fu Ya hung up the phone, they made another phone call to Engineer Chang Changhui, whom they had just met the day before yesterday, to make an appointment for a time and place for dinner.
After that, Pepe took Austin to eat a meal of Famen Temple with a fixed heart, and then visited the underground palace of Famen Temple. When I left the dungeon, it was exactly half past two in the afternoon.
After leaving Famen Temple, the group returned to Xi'an by car.
When the couple returned to the hotel, it was a quarter past five in the afternoon.
Fu Ya and lawyer Hashim had already arrived at the hotel at this time and had already completed the check-in procedures. After the young couple went back to the room for a little rest, they met Fu Ya and Hashem who were waiting in the hotel lobby at 5:40 punctually.
The dinner venue agreed with Chang Changhui was still booked at the hotel where they were staying, and the time was 6 o'clock in the evening.
After waiting in the hotel's box for a long time, Chang Changhui arrived at the hotel early.
At this meeting, Chang Changhui not only brought his colleague Lu Xianghui, who he met last time, but also brought two other friends over.
After the introductions were made to each other, the dinner began.
Pepe's main purpose in inviting Chang Changhui and others over this time was to introduce her assistant Fu Ya to the other party.
The county lord who likes to be the shopkeeper thinks that the details of the work are handed over to her subordinates to handle, and as the boss, she only needs to grasp the general direction and the final acceptance process.
Therefore, after introducing his personal assistant and lawyer to the other party, and handing over all the subsequent process work to the assistant Fu Ya, Pepe waved his hands and got on the plane with Austin the next day, left Xi'an, rushed back to Los Angeles, and officially ended all the honeymoon trips.
