During the celebration, Zhao Anling was impatient to dismantle a vat of wine to drink, and Bai Liyan had to dismantle a vat of wine.

After thousands of years of cellaring of rice wine, constant temperature and humidity, the wine tank after the late rainy season soaking, winter drying, the characteristics of the wine is extremely unique, the taste is mellow and fragrant, the aftertaste is endless, not exactly rice wine, with fruit sweetness and the intensity of shochu, hidden sweetness.

At this time, Zhou Kong said again:

"You dug up the tomb and didn't take the treasure, just for the sake of this wine?"

"It's not all, in terms of value, this wine is unique in the world, and it is worth more than the tens of thousands of gold and silver treasures. Also, you know whose tomb it is. ”

"The one who can have such regulations and great treasures must be princes. But no one recognized the words on the tombstone, but it was definitely the tomb of the previous dynasty. ”

"What General Zhou said is extremely true." Bai Liyan affirmed, and continued: "That tomb is indeed the tomb of the previous dynasty, and it is the tomb of Chai Bi, the son of heaven of the previous dynasty. ”

"Then why don't you take the treasure?"

Zhou Kong's stubborn digging problem, it is obvious that if there is no treasure, there will be no civil strife between Ma Zheng and the slave army, and it should be Bailiyan who loses at this moment.

However, what Yi Xuexuan said, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise, not everyone can believe it, Chai Bi accurately predicted the "half-faced beauty", and obviously refers to Zhou Kong, this matter is said to her, what does she think, believe it or not, fate or Bailiyan's tricks, many things can be known by yourself, and noisy words often do more harm than good.

Bai Liyan did not answer this question positively, but turned to ask others:

"General Zhou, dig more than a dozen secret passages from Zhaocheng to the mountains, the length is more than ten miles, the width and height are enough for two people to enter and exit, and it will not take a few years to dig such secret passages. Ben Shuai thought that this secret passage was definitely not dug to prevent incoming enemies. ”

"It's only been a year since I came here, and there was a secret passage when I came, and it was rumored that gold was found decades ago, and after the incident, the Holy Lord built a lot of construction here to find gold mines, so he dug more than a dozen secret passages from the underground outside the city to the south."

"Oh...... I see, so to speak, the so-called gold should be this treasure of Chai Bi. ”

Only then did he put down the bowl and said:

"It's not all, a few years ago, digging and digging, I dug up something, like gold and silver wrapped together. We call this thing 'gold and silverstone'. ”

"Gold and silver stones?" Bai Liyan was surprised and hurriedly asked, "So, you dug up gold?" ”

"Hi...... If I really dug up the gold, it would have been good, but not only did I not dig it, but at that time, I killed many master craftsmen in order to make gold. As a result, some poisonous stones and a kind of iron that cannot be refined can be refined, and it is said that it is iron, it is not rusty, and it is said that it is silver, which is dead and heavy, not to mention twice as heavy, and it is also a little hard, and it cannot be melted no matter how it is refined. ”

"Shhh...... And things like that. Is that still there? ”

"Yes, there were a lot of refining at that time, and a lot of people died. Because it was useless, they were still in the storehouse, and they were not allowed to make some silver one day. ”

"Then can you take a look at Ben Shuai?"

"Okay, let people pick it up right away."

The information provided by Frank made Bailiyan feel like a nickel mine. But the density of nickel is comparable to that of copper, while the density of silver is about 1.5, and there are only four elements that are twice as dense as silver, of which gold can be excluded, followed by platinum, iridium and osmium.

Among them, the melting point of platinum is more than 1,700 degrees, and the melting points of iridium and osmium are above 3,000 and 2,000 degrees.

The content of osmium is not high, and with the current technology, it is also impossible to extract a large amount by smelting, and only sulfur arsenic platinum associated ore can produce platinum element.

All signs are taken into account that platinum is likely to be high.

Constrained by the current smelting and cognition, there is no platinum at the moment, and platinum has not participated in the circulation of currency as a precious metal, and the Black Turban Army is unable to smelt and mold it, and has no industrial knowledge of it, and it is an inevitable result to discard it like waste.

About two moments later, Funk's guards brought two sacks, one containing ore, which at first glance looked like gold.

The other bag contained two types of smelted metal, one grayish-white and shiny, the other gray and dull, with a brittle texture.

Fang Ke picked out one of the pieces of gray-white luster metal, which was riddled with holes and strange shapes, and said twice in his hand:

"This heavy iron is heavier than gold, and it can't be refined no matter how you refine it."

"yes, show me it."

Bai Liyan took the so-called heavy iron and came close to identify it, almost certainly platinum. Then he placed the platinum block on the table, drew his saber, and slashed at it, and took off a small piece.

Zhou Kong was puzzled and hurriedly asked:

"What are you doing?"

"You'll find out later, Jiang Jie, go to the alcohol."

"No!"

When Jiang Jie was young, he took the alcohol and poured it into the bowl, Bai Liyan put the small grain of platinum into the wine bowl, and after waiting for a while, the bowl caught fire. Everyone was surprised, and Zhou Kong was stunned and hurriedly asked:

"What's the matter, don't you know about this heavy iron?"

Bai Liyan shook his head and said in a false voice:

"In the early years, it was mentioned in a classic book, saying that it was slightly heavier than gold, but twice as heavy as silver, and it was platinum, and this thing was burned when it was exposed to spirits."

"Isn't it a spell?" Fang Ke asked.

"Absolutely not." Bai Liyan denied: "If it is a spell, the Holy Orders will not use it to confuse the people and confuse people's hearts. ”

Platinum has special physical properties, and it will catalyze with alcohol, and then ignite the alcohol violently, and the easiest way to confirm whether it is platinum is to put it into the alcohol and observe.

The so-called reading in some books, it is pure nonsense, not to mention that alcoholic spirits have only appeared in the Central Plains for more than 20 years, and there is no knowledge of platinum at present, where can there be such a record in ancient books, and there is not even a platinum word.

Confirming that it was platinum, Bailiyan asked Fang Ke again:

"General Fang, how many are there in this heavy iron warehouse?"

"There are not many in the warehouse, only one hundred and eighty catties, and a lot of them were refined in the early years, because they were poisoned, and many of them were buried outside the city."

"How many are there?"

"For such a long time, I can't remember how many there are, but I have dug the secret passage for seven or eight years, and I have been refining for two years, and there are no five thousand catties, there are always three or two thousand, and there are ten thousand catties with poisonous stones."

Hearing two or three thousand catties of platinum, Bai Liyan was very happy, although the total amount was not much, but it should be enough to smelt as an alloying element.

Thinking of this, he turned to Jiang Jie and said:

"Immediately go to the burial site with General Fang, and dig up all this heavy iron and bring it back to Yongxing."

"No!"

Seeing Baili Yanxing's teacher moving the crowd, Zhou Kong was suspicious:

"Do you know anything?"

"Ben Shuai was entrusted by the master of the Ligong faction to find this thing, and now he has met it, so he just put it away and transported it back to Yongxing City to study it."
