Chapter 1683: The So-Called Artifact (1/4)

Han Xuan replied: "Yes, among those antiques, there is one thing that was taken from the mausoleum under the museum, that is, the one placed in front of the coffin, you should remember, right?" ”

Steward Erna nodded, and replied with a smile: "Of course I remember, I am not old enough to be like that, and after the incident, I went in with some soldiers the next day to see it.

The mark in front of the coffin, which still exists until now, I also went in once last week, and after changing the light color to white, it doesn't look as eerie as before, and the area of the museum is a bit small, and I am trying to transform the underground floor into a museum as well.

Your estate is under construction, and it won't be completed until about seven or eight years later, so it's a good idea to put the underground floor to use, and the museum will continue to be used anyway, won't it? ”

"Also to ......"

The California Emirate Museum is located beneath a giant sequoia, and the Tomb of Dixin is just below the chief's treasure, and the reason why it was built in this way is unverifiable, and the secret has been lost to history with the passage of time.

The manor that Erna butler was talking about was a huge private palace that was being built within the boundaries of the snow-capped mountain pastures, and was expected to be even more luxurious than the Palace of Versailles in the future.

A few years ago, Han Xuan's mind suddenly became hot, and he had the idea of building a luxury manor like the Palace of Versailles that could be passed on to future generations.

It's not a matter of how much it will cost, but now the design has been completed, and construction began just two or three months ago next to the giant plant maze in the snowy mountain pasture.

I once hesitated whether to build it in Seventeen Mile Bay or in the Snow Mountain Ranch, but after thinking about it, I thought it would be more appropriate to place it in the Snow Mountain Ranch.

The building, named "Snow Mountain Manor", has already caused a fierce response as soon as construction began, because modern buildings have risen one after another, while traditional buildings have gradually been forgotten, not to mention the shocking budget of 880 million US dollars!

It is not only the family mansion of the future Han family, but also a large museum open to the outside world, and it is precisely because of this that the housekeeper of Erna mentions it at this moment.

When I told the old man about this idea, he suggested that the design work be completed by his friend I.M. Pei.

As it turned out, I.M. Pei had a very good eye for design, and the palace was almost a combination of Buckingham Palace, Versailles and the British Parliament.

The walls and interiors are full of ancient oriental elements, such as dragons, gluttony, unicorns and other sacred beast reliefs, and the next time you return to the snowy mountain ranch, you can see its miniature model......

"Are you going now?" The old steward of Erna then asked, "Didn't I remember that it was stolen by the treasure hunters, did you catch them?" ”

Han Xuanle smiled and told, "I'll tell you later, Dolores is coming soon, I'll hurry up and go to their side, they're still waiting for me." ”

"I'll go too, wait for me for a minute, I'll go and ask the cook to help prepare supper, and you'll eat it too?"

"I won't be able to, dinner has already been eaten."

"Okay, you can tell me slowly on the way......"

*********************************

Museums generally have experienced specialists, but not all museums are equipped with a full set of state-of-the-art testing equipment in the same way as the California Chief's Treasure Museum.

It is not in an underground museum, but in a small detached building about 400 meters away, which was then used by the Gambo family to store small propeller aircraft, which was later converted into an antiques testing center, next to the warehouse used to store a large number of antiques.

You don't need to look for a car for such a distance, you can walk there, and when you walk along the seaside road, you can tell the Erna housekeeper about the whole process of meeting Zhao Hongqi and Seven Eyes halfway.

When he was about to arrive at the institute, he called Mr. Lowry, and he quickly came out to greet him, with a smile on his face, and he stretched out his hand a few meters away, and said, "Welcome, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

The researchers were waiting inside, having already figured out how to open it, the two stones were glued together with some kind of adhesive, the material had not been analyzed yet, but it seemed to be similar to concrete, and if it was true, it would definitely be an amazing discovery! ”

Mr. Lowry knew what Han Xuan valued, so he focused the topic on this aspect, and the effect was very good, Han Xuan was really attracted by this passage and said: "Concrete? Let's go in first, I can't wait to see what's inside. ”

"Okay, please go this way......"

Mr. Lowry led the way, and it was not a very advanced and high-end environment, with many machines spread out in the room, and then there were tables.

You can smell the smell of paints and chemicals, and some antiques need to be restored, and the work is carried out here.

The researchers had been waiting for a long time, and at this moment, a white expert with a white beard asked Han Xuan directly, "Can you start?" ”

Han Xuan nodded when he saw the stone box placed on the white cloth in front of him, and then the researcher's assistant picked up a small hand-held cutter and prepared to start cutting the adhesive parts.

"I saw the white marks on the frosted sheet, which were marked in advance to ensure that the depth of the cut did not damage the contents of the object."

Mr. Lowry introduced to Han Xuan and continued to tell him: "The one who is cutting is the chief restorer of our museum, and the next few are also the appraisers of our museum. ”

"Well, we've met before." Han Xuan found a few X-ray scans on the table, picked them up and looked at them, and could clearly see that the image was in the shape of a short sword, only about seventy centimeters long, and the hilt of the sword was only so long.

A bronze sword from the Shang Dynasty was once unearthed, and the shape of the sword in front of it was very consistent with the characteristics of the time, showing the shape of a willow leaf as a whole, and even a blood groove was polished in the middle.

During the Shang Dynasty or earlier, Chinese weapons had already appeared in blood grooves, and it was probably the first country in the world to use this technology.

It may be purely for the sake of beauty, or it may be that it was really discovered that it has a practical effect, and this history is no longer verifiable and can only be left to future generations to speculate.

Before taking out the contents of the sword, it was impossible to determine what era it was made in, but Han Xuan was really amazed by this sword!

The blade is very smooth, and the hilt and blade are of different colors as shown on the X-ray images, with the hilt being white with some shadows.

Han Xuan put down a few pictures, raised his head and whispered to an appraiser he had met before, "Has the material of the stone been analyzed, is it consistent with the characteristics of the stones around Seventeen Mile Bay?" ”
