Golden Fishery

  Billy said that these porcelains stayed in an oxygen-free environment for too long, and the whale oil on them could not be stripped directly. These whale oil is now a protective layer, and whale oil stripping can only be carried out in a professional environment.

  Qin Shiou nodded, and continued to ask: "Then the surprise you said is these porcelains? I think they are not of much value, right?"

Billy widened his eyes and said, "One may be of little value, but do you know how many such porcelains are still in it? And the value of porcelain is not in the individual but in the whole. I bet there must be many sets of complete sets in the underwater sunken ship. China, together this can be an Alla-porcelana auction."

Qin Shiou expressed his understanding and went to look at the gold coins and silver coins. This was the common currency of Spain in the 17th century. Because Spain was one of the maritime hegemons at that time, their currency was used in many countries and regions, and the amount left was not. Few, but few are as well-preserved as these.

  In addition to gold and silver coins, some gold and silver tableware were also picked up from the sunken ship this time. Of course, mainly silverware. Qin Shiou, a gold product, only saw two spoons with carved handles. But whether it's gold or silverware, they are all of high value, because there was no gilding and silvering technology at that time, and these gold and silverware were all real materials.

Little Black paid special attention to a silver soup pot with a pot holder. The diameter of the bracket is half a meter, and the diameter of the soup pot is more than forty centimeters. The shape is simple, but the decoration style is full of characteristics: embossed grooves, beaded edges, Lion mask, lion foot claws, its lid has two silver snakes crossed to form a handle. Little Black said it has an exquisite neoclassical style.

  Qin Shiou does not understand any neoclassical style. He didn't understand the meaning of the sculpture on the soup pot. Little Blake wanted to explain it to him. He shook his head and said no, he probably didn't need it.

  Billy showed little black a silver cup the size of a teacup. The silver cup fell off. It had a cup sleeve with some roses interlaced on it, and there was a small sheep's head skull on the cup lid.

  Little Blake thought about it and asked, "Don’t tell me. This is Collison-Jensen’s work!"

Billy smiled triumphantly: “Of course, of course, rose flowers and Satan sheep’s heads are Collison’s favorites, and if you look closely, you will see that these flowering branches have crossed into two letters, C, Z, if This still doesn’t mean that the Silver Cup is Collison’s work, so how can I prove it?"

  Qin Shiou checked the name of Collison-Jensen on the Internet, and the search results were very few. Only some of the research materials found have this name, saying that this is a famous gold and silver maker in Spain in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

  Little Black and Billy were discussing gold and silverware. He had no interest, so he had to look at the longbow.

  At first, he only saw this longbow. Now, when he looked closer, he discovered that the lower part of the glass box was made of stainless steel and contained a suit of armor. There are a grimace mask, shoulder shackle chains, large and small protective holsters, and a set of chain mail. In addition, there is also a belt and leather bag woven with iron hinges.

   "Hey, Billy, how did you get it?" Qin Shiou asked slightly surprised.

  Billy questioned: "How did you get it? You said this English longbow and this set of archer armor? Of course it was fished from a pirate shipwreck."

  Qin Shiou laughed dryly, he quickly closed his mouth, only then did he realize that he had leaked his mouth. What was strange to him was that, obviously based on his observation and search, there were only whale oil barrels in the sunken ship, and it was too small for the longbow, which was taller than a human, to hold this thing.

  There is also this set of archer armor. There are also traces of whale oil on it. But it looks like the whale oil barrel can't hold this chain mail.

  I can’t say these things, and Qin Shiou held his doubts in his heart. But this is nothing strange. For him, Billy is a serious treasure hunter, perhaps the bow and armor are hidden in a hidden part of the sunken ship. He didn't find it, Billy did.

  So. All four of them are useful in this combination.

Billy didn't pay attention to what he said, thinking he had a special interest in the longbow, so he asked: "Do you want to try this bow and arrow? This is the English longbow, probably the most domineering bow and arrow in the history of the world. It was cleaned up before. At that time, I found out that this bow and arrow was well preserved and still usable."

  Qin Shiou said: "I think the most domineering bow and arrow in the world is our god-arm bow in the history of the Song Dynasty, which is even more powerful than the English longbow!"

  Little Black jumped out immediately and said firmly: "I know the god-arm bow, but I don't think it can compare to our longbow. Our longbow is definitely the strongest bow and arrow in the world!"

  If the AK-47 is the pride of the Russians in the history of weapons, and nuclear weapons are the pride of the Americans in the history of weapons, then this huge friendless longbow is the pride of the English in the history of weapons.

  Little Black is a British immigrant with the pride and dignity inherent in the veteran nobility of the British Empire. The provocation of the longbow means that his pride and dignity have been provoked. He must maintain this.

  In terms of cold weapons, the British's affection for the longbow is incomparable to any weapon. It must start from their history.

  In 1066, the conquerors from Normandy stipulated that the submissive Anglo-Saxon property owners were not allowed to possess knight equipment, but bows and arrows were not forbidden. Soon, the elders and children of the previous dynasties were equipped with such "legal" weapons, while ordinary people and serfs and other "inferior people" were not even allowed to possess such weapons that were not "noble" enough.

  Later, Edward the Great allowed all people to ride and shoot. The ordinary people felt that this was an exaltation of their social status, so no matter whether it was aristocrats or ordinary people, whether rich or poor, they would train shooting skills from time to time.

  A few years later, Europe entered an era of wars among nations. Even after the appearance of muskets, the English Longbowmen were the most powerful troops on the European continent. This unit has won countless victories and dignity for the United Kingdom, protected territorial integrity, and robbed a large amount of territory and resources.

  So, from top to bottom, the British have a special feeling for the longbow.

Qin Shiou felt that this topic was not worth arguing, and then he shrugged and said, "Well, the English longbow is the most powerful, so why don't you show it to me? Also, why didn't I find that you were so good at it? Very interested in the longbow?"

Little Blake laughed at what he said and mumbled: "I will only talk about an objective fact, because the English longbow is indeed the strongest bow and arrow in the world. There is also an objective fact that I like money far better. Too long bow..." (to be continued~^~)
