Chapter 785: Terracotta Warriors


After entering the museum, my eyes were not on the unearthed bronzes and terracotta warriors and horses, but on the passers-by.

I hoped to see the familiar figure of Yuelan among the crowd.

However, there is a lot of traffic and it is impossible to find it with the naked eye.

I am also afraid of passing by Yuelan, so every once in a while, I close my eyes to sense it, because Yuelan is dark gray under the sensor.

Here, I can find it in no time.

The venue is very wide and majestic, and it also shows two colors under the induction, orange in the crowded area, and light gray in the area where the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are located.

I don’t know why the terracotta warriors and horses are gray.

Maybe they were buried under the underground palace for two thousand years, so they were contaminated with yin energy.

Over time, the yin energy took over the bodies of the terracotta warriors and horses.

However, the terracotta warriors and horses used as funerary objects are also known objects, and they are no different from the funerary objects in other tombs.

It is natural when you think about it.

He quickly took the beauty around the entire venue, but there was no sign of Yue Lan.

Although the venue is extremely wide, it seems so easy to use the induction.

The induction range is 600 meters in radius.

If you select a dozen points and sense it, you can almost cover the entire museum.

Twenty minutes later, when I confirmed that Yuelan was not in the museum, I noticed that there was a beautiful woman following me.

From the beginning to the end, she did not say a word, but looked at me intently, with a look of disbelief on her face.

He probably saw me closing my eyes when I was doing the sensor search, so he was surprised.

I smiled slightly and said, "My wife and I have telepathy.

There were too many people just now, so the telepathy was a little disturbed, but after checking, I found that she is not here."

"Oh."

She said dumbly, then felt a little embarrassed and said, "Then what should I do now?"

I shrugged and said, "Since no one is here, let's not look for it.

I bought all the tickets, and I may not be able to come back in the future.

So if you have time, take a walk around here and explain it to me."

Explain."

"Okay."

She nodded happily.

There happened to be two carriages parked nearby, so she said, "These are the bronze carriages No. 1 and 2 unearthed from the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit No. 1."

"This carriage looks familiar."

I thought for a while and said.

"The Terracotta Warriors and Horses are one of the eight wonders of the world.

They were always on the news in the past.

Maybe you have seen them, so you have an impression."

She said with a smile.

I forced a smile and responded.

I guess I didn't read it on the news, but in one of those antique identification books that my grandfather gave me.

It should be the one about identifying bronzes.

Then there were a lot of bronze weapons on the side.

She introduced them one by one: "Bronze arrows, this is a crossbow, and this is Ge, the Ge who turned against each other, and this is bronze beryllium, which looks like a sword.

But it’s called beryllium, which is different from a sword.”

I nodded.

I still knew something about bronzes, but after all, there were relatively few bronzes unearthed in the tombs I dug.

They were rich in book titles, but had little experience in actual tasting.

"Look at these bronzes, they were the same as they are now when they were unearthed, and they have undergone a lot of processing, so they are the same as new ones."

Jiaren explained: "That's because scientists have analyzed these bronzes and found that these bronzes are There is a thin layer of chromium on the surface of the bronze, which is the ingredient we commonly use in stainless steel today, to prevent rust and oxidation. " I was secretly surprised and said: "This is formed naturally or was added during forging."

"Of course it was added during forging, and what's even more surprising is that this kind of technology appeared after the Industrial Revolution.

This kind of technology appeared in Europe only in the 19th century, but we had already put it into use during the Qin Dynasty.

This technology is widely used in bronzes, which shocked the whole world," Jiaren explained.

"So awesome."

I was secretly surprised, and then said, "But our ancient forging technology is indeed very powerful.

Didn't Ou Yezi forge many famous swords?"

"Yes."

The beauty pointed to the bronze sword over there and said, "Especially this bronze sword, which looks ordinary on the outside, but when it was discovered, it really shocked all the archaeologists present."

"What?"

I cheered up and looked at the beauty.

She said with a showoff smile: "When I found this sword, the sword was pressed by a fallen soldier's toilet, and it was bent into a bow shape.

Then when the archaeologists helped the terracotta warriors and horses up, At this moment, there was a crash, and the bronze sword that had been pressed for thousands of years suddenly became straight again. " "What self-healing thing?"

I looked at the sword over there dumbfounded.

"You can say that."

The beauty nodded.

I went there, this is amazing, a sword that has been pressed for thousands of years, no matter what metal it is, even my Junsheng sword, I am afraid it will be bent or even broken, but this bronze sword actually It's really scary to be so flexible.

"Then there are only two things on display in this museum.

One is bronze, and the other is terracotta warriors and horses.

The terracotta warriors and horses are divided into low-level sergeant figurines, medium sergeant figurines, high-level sergeant figurines, kneeling archer figurines, cavalry figurines, pommel horse figurines, and pommel horses.

Cavalry warriors, chariot warriors, warrior warriors, painted kneeling archer warriors, yes, in fact, these terracotta warriors and horses were originally They are colored, and their appearance is colorful, but when they were excavated, no way was found to remedy it.

Therefore, the paint on the originally colorful terracotta warriors and horses oxidized and fell off in just thirty seconds.

The green tire inside is exposed, which is the gray earth color we see now.

"Jiaren is indeed very skilled in her business.

I nodded.

I actually knew this better than her because I had stolen several graves.

"The terracotta warriors and horses have thousands of faces, which means that the faces of these terracotta warriors and horses are all different, just like there are no two identical eggs in the world, there are no duplicate faces among these terracotta warriors and horses."

Jiaren explained again.

I was surprised again.

I had never heard of this before.

I said: "These terracotta warriors and horses should be made of clay.

With such a large scale, there should be a mold.

Otherwise, it would take a lot of money to make them one by one."

How much manpower, material resources and time are there?”

"But the fact is that these terracotta warriors and horses do not have repeated faces.

If you look at the facial expressions of these terracotta warriors and horses, they are lifelike.

The level of clay sculptures two thousand years ago is comparable to the level today.

From these points, we How many of the world's top skills in China have been lost?"

the beauty said with a sigh.

I nodded.

My grandpa once said that inheritance is passed on by predecessors and inherited by descendants.

However, in China, for five thousand years, the things that have been passed down are far less than those that have been lost.

The ratio may be several times Even dozens or hundreds of times.

I suddenly remembered a rumor in the past, and I said: "Someone stole a terracotta warrior and horse from here before and sold it, right?"

"Well, yes."

The beauty nodded and asked softly, "How do you know?"

"I also heard that it seemed to be sold for one million US dollars."

I said with a smile.

"I don't know the exact amount, but it seems that they were captured."

Jiaren said, "I don't know the specifics.

I just know that the terracotta warriors and horses were also recovered."

I laughed and said nothing.

The tomb robber was not captured, but was killed by the terracotta warriors and horses.

Because the thief knew that some of these terracotta warriors and horses were living warriors, and the one he stole happened to be, and the one he stole was actually The curse was triggered
