Chapter 568: Opening the Coffin 1
This is a legendary weapon, and it is written in the official history of the Three Kingdoms that "the wave holds this lance to dominate the world, and it is invincible." In the romance, his Yunshui lance and Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd, Guan Yu's cold and beautiful saw were mentioned again and again. Thousands of years have passed, and the iron lance still shines in the light—yes, there is indeed one such light above the blade.
"This is the blood that can't fade away no matter how many people you kill. "The archaeologists present have also seen many old weapons, many of which have killed countless people - but most of them are ghost-headed broadswords used to cut off heads. The handle of the iron lance has not decayed after more than 1,700 years, and this is completely different from the wooden handle of other weapons that have decayed.
Yes, the wooden handle of the sword had rotted, and the scabbard made of leather had been shattered, and the metal parts had fallen off. Only the body of these swords is still cold. I remember that Song Tiegong was only 3.6 kilograms, and as for the actual combat equipment inherited from the Ming Dynasty, it was basically in the weight range of 2 to 4 kilograms. This weight of the hammer is used for exercising. ”
Well, the argument began again. No one has touched the lance yet—because it may be the most valuable artifact of the burial goods in the burial chamber, and it seems to be in good condition, so it can be examined last. The first thing is to check the whole body of this big lance - especially what is the reason why this wooden handle has not broken for more than 1,700 years?
Experienced experts in ancient weapons - yes, in order to excavate this tomb of the Three Kingdoms, almost all the famous experts in China came, except for a few experts who are presiding over excavations in other places. The expert on ancient weapons carefully examined it with a magnifying glass and put forward his own opinions.
"This is a gun handle made of elastic wood and bamboo chips soaked in oil and eaten through the antiseptic oil, and then wound with steel wire, and the outside is also brushed with a layer of treated lacquer, which should not rot for thousands of years. It's just that it's so beautifully done and willing to work hard, it's really rare. And for the more than three feet long lance blade, the expert was also amazed, "This is the peak of ancient metallurgy in our country, more than 1,700 years, the surface is not corroded at all, and you see...... There is also moire, which is folded pattern steel. ”
After taking pictures and recording them, two young archaeologists went up to remove the lance that was placed on the weapon rack, "It's so heavy!" said the two men as soon as they got their hands on it, and sprained their arms. Immediately changed four people, and after being prepared, it was relatively easy to remove the weapon. "The weight is 37 kilograms?!," almost everyone exclaimed as they weighed the lance.
This can't be said to be used for martial arts, just by looking at the blue light on the blade, you know that this is a combat weapon, and I don't know how many people's blood has been drunk. Since the Song Dynasty, this kind of long weapons that have been handed down or unearthed basically do not weigh more than 8 kilograms, because no matter how heavy it is, the armored cavalry is not very easy to use. However, as a combat weapon, this Yunshui lance actually weighs 37 kilograms, and the strength and physical fitness required to dance this lance are ....... Is this man a humanoid tiger or brown bear or an Asian elephant?
Everyone's eyes turned to the big coffin in the middle, this strongest fighting general of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty is really so powerful? I didn't expect that what was recorded in the Three Kingdoms Chronicles was actually true, and there was no water. "Eight hundred horsemen roam the world and all the attacks are broken; three thousand horsemen are particularly invincible, but they can be stopped; and thirty thousand horsemen are defeated...... someone is saying this.
This is almost a famous joke in the history books, this Bai Lang claims that the fewer people there are, the stronger the combat effectiveness, and the more people, the faster he loses - he is completely different from the soldier immortal Han Xin, and he is really not as good as the power of the overlord Xiang Yu's army, and this guy is also called "Xiang Yu's reincarnation" by the people of the time......
Someone wiped the blade of the lance with a swab, and then examined it, and the blood reaction proved that this thing was indeed a weapon that killed people, and by looking at the blade, it was known that this thing was still extremely sharp. Thinking that the man in the coffin was wielding such a heavy blade, rushing over with the help of the power of the war horse...... Everyone seemed to see signs of flesh and blood flying in front of their eyes.
The CCTV reporters present trembled with excitement, this is super big news - the fierce generals of the late Han Dynasty are so strong, there really are super fierce people in this world who can wield dozens of kilograms of weapons, and those romance-like legends of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty may actually be "true". But experts say that to confirm this, it is necessary to open the coffin.
The coffins will not be opened on the spot, they will be transported to a professional "laboratory" for opening - because such a complete coffin of the Eastern Han Dynasty that has not been stolen, each layer of the coffin must be full of treasures for burial, it is necessary to clean up and protect it as soon as possible - considering the situation of Mawangdui back then, all this must be done under the condition of filling protective gas. And the sooner the better.
The coffin, which weighs more than 20 tonnes and is not difficult to transport with modern technology, is sent into nitrogen-filled carriages and then transported to laboratories – although Luoyang has repeatedly said they can provide laboratories, the state authorities have sent all three coffins to Beijing. Of course, Luoyang also went to a large number of people, even if the National Museum tried to intercept the cultural relics shamelessly, more or less it would be able to snatch back most of it - if you don't go to people, you can't tell.
The first to open was Madame Zhen's coffin, the huge and heavy stone lid carefully lifted for fear of damaging the carvings and paint on it. "Miple. The expert watching through the bulletproof glass said that the location of the laboratory was diagonally upward, and this laboratory was equivalent to a sunken laboratory of glass.
When the lid was opened, it was set aside, and the first thing I saw was a large number of flowers carved from gold and silver jewelry, as well as some fabrics that looked like silk and satin. The personnel in charge wore closed protective clothing and snorkels, cleaned the coffins as quickly as possible, and took out the burial goods one by one to count the records. After cleaning, the second layer of wooden coffins is opened.
"It's actually red cypress! Could it be obtained from Soochow?" The composition of the wooden coffin was analyzed for the first time, which can completely confirm that Soochow actually controlled Taiwan - because this is Taiwan's red cypress, one of the most precious woods, and looking at this shape, it is completely hollowed out of a whole piece of wood and made of it is even more valuable.
It's hard to figure out that Liu Xuande and Kong Ming's own tombs are not so luxurious......
The second layer of carved wooden lid was opened, and it was stuffed with silk and jade, as well as a few pieces of pottery, all of which were daily utensils rather than Ming utensils. It was still a quick clean-up registration, and the third layer, that is, the real coffin, had been exposed," Nanmu material. "Experienced experts will know this wood at a glance. The big guys' eyes widened, and they were just waiting to see the famous beauties of the three kingdoms.
The lid of the coffin was carefully opened, and everyone sighed, the miracle of Mawangdui did not recur - in fact, everyone had been prepared for a long time, because the entire tomb of Mawangdui was in the water...... And this tomb is dry. When opened, there are also various silk satins, and when uncovered, there are skeletons underneath.......
The skeleton in the ornate clothes is not very complete, and it seems that time has rotted some of the bones. "If you are tall, it should be more than 1.7 meters before you die, and now you can be called a beautiful woman with long legs. And this is already a sixty-six-year-old old lady. "Forensic experts judged the situation first-hand.
The coffin of Mrs. Zou on the other side is also similar, and there are only slight differences in the things inside, but the condition of the corpse is better, it looks like a dried corpse like a mummy, which is much better than Zhen Ji's situation. Everyone is full of hope for the coffin of Bai Lang, which has not yet been opened, and maybe they can see the "dry corpse" of the peerless general? You must know that he was only 45 years old when he passed away......
Bai Lang's coffin is more than one-third larger than the coffin of the two ladies, if it is also triple...... I really don't know what's going to be inside.
