Chapter 477: Golden Armor Samurai
This time, Gao Chao was much bolder, and directly raised the flashlight and shone it over there.
Because the distance between them and those figures was still far away, even if they were to do this, they would only be able to reach the edge, but now after two coughs, Gao Chao and the fat man's confidence doubled, and a sense of security also arose, so the two of them slowly stood up from the ground and touched the row of figures in front of them.
Xia Qing, who was above the big pit, had also relaxed, and when he saw that Gao Chao and the fat man had walked forward, he was still a little worried, and he couldn't help but pick up the 95 bar in his hand, covering the two of them above, and at the same time holding the flashlight with his other hand to shine in front of Gao Chao and the fat man.
Gao Chao and the two of them only walked forward for a distance of ten or so steps, and they could already see it very clearly, but when they looked at it like this, they couldn't help but have some changes on their faces.
The change in the fat man's face was still obvious, he showed a little surprise at first, then doubt, and finally into excitement, and at the same time, he laughed.
"Lao Gao, Lao Gao......" The fat man grabbed Gao Chao's sleeve because he was excited, and grinned: "Lao Gao, have you seen clearly, those people ...... Those people seem to have ...... All armor is made of gold. ”
Gao Chao naturally could see it clearly, but he wasn't as excited as the fat man.
His feeling, in fact, was shock, he really couldn't imagine that from a distance, what he thought was just a row of figures, now at this distance, it seemed that it had become row after row, and the flashlight shone into the depths, and the rows of figures stood still. Majestic and majestic. All of them must be two meters tall. The body is sturdy and burly, and all of them hold swords, guns, swords, halberds and other types of blades in their hands, which is really majestic and high-pitched, and the spirit is extraordinary, and he can't help but secretly say, if this is a real person, such a force, even on the modern battlefield, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will be one of the best.
But that's not the only thing that shocked Gao Chao. The real shock may be the same reason as the fat man's excitement.
Just on the bodies of these mighty and majestic warriors, all the armor they wore was gold, and there was no need to think about it, and anyone who could guess that it was pure gold armor made of gold.
It's just that so many samurai statues are all dressed in gold armor, how much gold does this cost, Gao Chao couldn't help but turn on the flashlight again, and looked behind those samurai on tiptoe. It really feels like I can't see the edge, so I look at it. No matter what kind of place it is, the former owner of this place must be a wealthy guy.
Gao Chao was shocked, but he had already wondered why there was such a big pit in such a dark and empty room, and in the big pit, there were such a huge number of warrior statues in gold armor, what was this room used for, was this just a place to place sculptures?
Xia Qing on the pit, seeing that the two of them could speak loudly in the distance, knew that the alarm had been lifted below, so Xia Qing couldn't wait to slide down the slope from the top of the pit and ran towards them.
Gao Chao turned to look at Xia Qing, she had already come to her, and also found the rows of gold-armored warriors not far away.
The fat man, on the other hand, couldn't wait, and when he found so many golden armors, he had already run forward, and Gao Chao didn't stop him, because it was much safer now, and nothing else was found here except those statues for the time being.
Xia Qing and Gao Chao also walked forward slowly, and the closer they got to those statues, the more Xia Qing couldn't hide his excitement.
Gao Chao found that Xia Qing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask next to him, "Xia Qing, aren't these statues very special?" ”
This question was originally ordinary, and there was even some suspicion that he had nothing to say, but just such a question opened Xia Qing's chatterbox.
Xia Qing nodded and said: "Of course, of course special, this is almost unbelievable, how can there be such a thing here, this is completely unreasonable, this may be the greatest archaeological discovery of this century." ”
Gao Chao was confused by Xia Qing, and hurriedly asked, "The greatest archaeological discovery, what ...... So why? ”
The two of them had come to the front of those statues, Xia Qing looked up at the tall gold-armored warrior, and said excitedly: "Such an ordinary samurai sculpture group, only one place has ever been unearthed, and when those huge number of samurai were unearthed, it immediately shocked the whole world, Chinese and foreign archaeologists all flocked there, full of praise for those samurai figurines, until now, it is still one of the miracles in the history of world archaeology." ”
Gao Chao looked at Xia Qing and nodded: "I know that the place you are talking about is Lintong, Xi'an, and it is the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, right?" ”
Xia Qing didn't nod or shake her head, she obviously felt that it was reasonable for Gao Chao to know this place.
Indeed, as the descendants of Yan and Huang, how many people do not know the location of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang? As the most spectacular terracotta pit in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, it is even more well-known to the world, and it is worthy of being praised as the "eighth wonder of the world".
It's just that the rows of golden-armored warriors in front of him were compared by Xia Qing with the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but Gao Chao felt very strange, so he only asked: "Xia Qing, do you think these statues are more precious than the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang?" ”
Xia Qing didn't seem to be listening to Gao Chao's question at all, but while she carefully observed the gold-armored warriors in front of her, she also replied to Gao Chao: "The terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang are naturally very precious, and when they are unearthed, the paintings on the body of the figurines are also very bright and dazzling, majestic and majestic, but unfortunately due to the backwardness of archaeological means, after being unearthed, some colors on the surface of the figurines quickly dimmed due to oxidation, and became gray and white. This is the color that most ordinary people can see now, but in fact, the surface of the real terracotta warriors is by no means so monotonous and lifeless, but ......"
As she spoke, she gently stroked the golden armor on a gold-armored warrior in front of her, and said softly: "But if you look at the warrior statues here, all of them are wearing real gold armor, not to mention the exquisite craftsmanship of these armors, just observe the momentum and scale of these statues as a whole, as well as the value of these statues, it is no exaggeration to say that the statues here are probably much more cherished than the terracotta warriors and horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang." ”
Xia Qing talked eloquently, and continued: "If you look at the production process, the figurines are fired, there is a certain historical reason for this, because when the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was built, a large number of figurines were needed for burial, so the use of figurines is a very wise choice, so that many parts of the figurines can be fired separately, and then assembled, or directly make templates, and then fire the whole figurines after shaping, no matter which way, can greatly improve production efficiency. This is the wisdom of the figurines fired in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but the gold-armored warriors here are different......" (To be continued. )
