Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

The cleaned amber is packed in plastic buckets and shipped out. Li Mo is also very interested in this kind of rosin fossil. After all, the insects or small animals inside are ancient creatures from tens of millions of years ago, or even hundreds of millions of years ago. Perhaps Some extinct ancient creatures can also be found among them, which are very good specimens for paleontological experts.

Li Mo and Yang Yang put on gloves and used water to clean the amber together. The fossils had various colors. The big colorful spider amber was not the most beautiful. Li Mo found some amber that looked more beautiful and looked a bit like caterpillars.

He used a spotlight flashlight to look at each one, then handed it to Director Zhou beside him and said with a smile: "I think the domestic paleontological experts will be more interested in these, why don't you ask them if they are interested in coming over? Can you help me?"

Director Zhou waved his hand and said: "It is inconvenient for me to come forward in this matter, but your appeal is still strong. If you just say a word, I estimate that the paleontology experts will be here tomorrow. Such an opportunity is very rare, if you hadn't discovered it This Northern Song Dynasty shipwreck and this batch of amber will never reappear in the world."

"Director Zhou, I suddenly feel that this time I really want to establish a leading amber museum in China. The second Ming Dynasty sunken ship I found before also contains a lot of amber, and the amount can fully support me to achieve it. You guys Busy first, I’ll go out and make some phone calls.”

Li Mo took off his gloves and walked out. Yan Yangyang picked up a blue amber, which exuded a charming luster under the light.

“Grandpa Zhou, look at this blue amber. It’s so beautiful. I estimate that if it were carved and polished, the price of this blue amber would definitely be high.”

Director Zhou glanced at it and whispered: "Yangyang, if you like it, ask your master to pick out a few pieces for you, and then make them into accessories to wear."

“I’m just saying casually, no matter how much I like it, I can’t carry it with me every day. I think it’s better to put this kind of natural amber in a museum for everyone to visit.”

Li Mo made a phone call for more than ten minutes and returned: "Two paleontological experts will come over tomorrow. As soon as they heard that I have a lot of natural amber, they immediately agreed to come over tomorrow."

 “I’ll just say that it’s more efficient for you to make a phone call than for me.”

Twenty or thirty staff members are cleaning the sunken treasures in the cabin, and more and more Asian ivory, amber, large pearls, etc. are coming out. Because there are so many small items, the processing is cumbersome, so the progress is slow.

 The day's work ended at six o'clock in the evening. All the staff took off their work clothes and left the warehouse one by one. Li Mo wanted to twist his waist. He had really washed the amber and big pearls for a whole day today. It was the first time that he felt so hard. It seems that he should give everyone more bonuses.

 “Master, I’m so hungry.”

Yan Yangyang touched his belly and said.

 “I’m hungry too, let’s find a place to have a big meal.”

It took the next four days to clean up more than 1,300 Asian ivory tusks, more than 3,200 ambers, and more than 800 large pearls. After maintenance, they were packed and sent to the treasure house.

“Academician Li, Director Zhou, we found the skeleton of a suspected Asian elephant in the innermost part of the cabin.”

Li Mo was standing under the boat and twisting his neck. Hearing this, he finally found the complete skeletons of the two Asian elephants.

“Academician Li, let’s go up and have a look together.”

Li Mo already knew this, but he still nodded. They walked into the cabin under protection and saw two very large Asian elephant skeletons in the mud and water. Directly above them was a huge hole.

Li Mo looked up and saw that the lights on the top of the warehouse were shining right on him.

"Academician Li, look at the holes in the deck. It may have been unable to withstand the weight of the two elephants and it fell down. I remember that there are two holes below this position, and maybe they were stepped on by the two elephants. Director Zhou said thoughtfully, "Do you think the sinking of this Northern Song Dynasty merchant ship was caused by two Asian elephants?"

"It's really possible, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big hole in the deck, and there wouldn't be two holes in the bottom of the ship."

Li Mo has been speculating on how the Northern Song Dynasty merchant ship sank. At present, this possibility is more likely.

"Everyone, next we will carefully transfer every bone of these Asian elephants. Everyone must be careful and careful, even paying attention to every joint. After all the bone tissue is confirmed, we will take full care of it. In the future It is to be put together into a completed specimen of two Asian elephants, a male and a female, to be displayed in the museum.”

“Okay, Academician Li, we will all be careful.”

 According to the current cleaning speed, another warehouse can be cleaned the day after tomorrow at the latest. The most precious things in the Northern Song Dynasty shipwreck are contained in it. Nearly 100,000 pieces of various porcelains from the Northern Song Dynasty will once again create an archaeological history when they are cleared.

Yan Yangyang originally agreed to stay for about ten days, but because he was busy with Li Mo in the warehouse every day, he no longer had the time or energy to visit the Antique City Night Market, so Li Mo agreed to her request. Stay for another ten days and return to Kyoto in late July.

On July 12th, Li Mo and the others finally opened another warehouse, and a large amount of Northern Song Dynasty porcelain appeared in front of the camera.

 After being rinsed with clean water, pieces of ancient Northern Song Dynasty porcelain were carefully carried out. The most striking feature of Northern Song Dynasty porcelain is that its appearance is imitated in the shape of bronze. It is mainly divided into two forms. One is ritual vessels. Representative works include bottles, statues, tripods, furnaces, goblets, plates and other shapes. The second is the study utensils. The representative works are mainly the Four Treasures of the Study. The main reason why it can become a series is that the shapes of brush washers in the Northern Song Dynasty were ever-changing, including straight mouth, lotus mouth, sunflower mouth, longevity peach, string pattern, animal head and animal ears. There are many kinds of styles, and the shapes of the utensils are endless.

Of course, the firing techniques of these Northern Song Dynasty porcelains used for overseas trade were a bit worse than those of official kilns. However, because porcelain from the official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty has been handed down to this day only rarely, and the quantity is pitifully small, so these maritime trade porcelains are also valuable.

In the past, porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty often appeared in foreign auctions, and each piece could fetch a price of more than one million yuan. Of course, in general, it is because things are rare and valuable. If Li Mo put these 100,000 pieces of Haihai porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty on the market, each piece would probably only be sold for a cabbage price.

More and more security personnel have been transferred from outside, and there are more and more monitoring facilities. Every day, a batch of Northern Song Dynasty porcelain is transported in a small truck into the underground treasure house.

 As he was about to end his work day, Li Mo's cell phone vibrated in his pocket. He took out his cell phone and walked to the side to answer the call: "Leader You, do you have any good news for me?"

"You really guessed it. If you are free tomorrow, come to Suzhou. The projects you submitted before have been confirmed to be implemented, and we still have many specific details that we need to communicate with you again."

“I’m sure I’ll be in a hurry when I go to Suzhou tomorrow, so that’s good. I’ll rush over from Shanghai to meet you at ten o’clock the day after tomorrow.”

"No problem, then it will be at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow. After we finish communicating, I will accompany you to the newly listed economic development zone."

 “Okay, very happy.”

Yan Yangyang had already washed her hands. She came to Li Mo and asked, "Master, are you going to the Magic City tomorrow?"

"Well, we have some important matters to deal with in Gusu. That's good. Anyway, you will be in Kyoto in three days. Why don't you follow me to the Demon City early tomorrow morning, and also go to see Master and Grandmaster, and then start from there? Fly from Magic City to Kyoto.”

“I can do anything, just listen to you, Master.”

"Okay, let's get off work." Li Mo and the others took their own special plane, which took off at seven in the morning and landed at the Magic City International Airport around 9:30 in the morning. The master and apprentice left in Yingying's car, while Tongchui and the others followed in two other taxis.

“Auntie, I haven’t seen you for a few months. Why is your skin getting better and better, as if it’s even white and glowing. I really want to squeeze it to see if it can squeeze out the water.”

Liu Yingying pursed her lips and smiled, then said happily: "I think your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. Yangyang, you far surpass your master in this regard."

Yan Yangyang turned his head and glanced at Li Mo beside him, and asked in surprise: "Master, have you never praised my aunt for her beauty?"

Li Mo closed his eyes and was too lazy to talk to her.

Liu Yingying saw Li Mo pretending to be dead through the rearview mirror and curled her lips and said, "Your master is shy easily. He usually only says disgusting things when no one else is around."

“Yingying, don’t be led astray by Yangyang. This child is in adolescence and will have some strange thoughts in his head all day long.”

 “Where is it, Master?”

Yan Yangyang pouted, she was determined not to admit it.

“Auntie, is Master in good health?”

"Your master went back to his hometown the day before yesterday. He said that the weather here in the Magic City is too hot and he is still a little unaccustomed to it."

"I guess my master thinks life here is too boring. After all, he doesn't know many people. When he goes back to his hometown, there are people to play with and go around every day. He can do whatever he wants, but he still has to tell your uncle. Take good care of your master."

Liu Yingying nodded, she had already arranged this matter.

 At home, the mistress and a nanny were preparing dishes. Master Yanagawa Kei was sitting on the sofa, kindly watching the two children playing nearby.

 “Master.”

Yan Yangyang shouted respectfully as soon as he entered the door.

“Hey, Yangyang is here too. Old Song, hurry up and get some fruit for the child.”

Song Yuanning looked over and said with a smile: "This child has really transformed into a woman. I can hardly recognize her. She is getting more and more beautiful."

“No matter how beautiful I am, I am still far behind my aunt.”

Liu Yingying turned around and stretched out her hand, pinched her tender little face gently and said with a smile: "For what you said, my aunt will take you to the mall in the afternoon and buy you some beautiful clothes."

 On the dining table, three different plates of braised vegetables have been placed, including five-spice beef, spicy pork head and pickled pepper chicken feet. Li Mo first pinched a piece of beef and ate it, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is the taste of the authentic Gong Ting Ji braised vegetables. Master, is there some cold beer in the refrigerator?"

"Yes, there are plenty. You can just drink it when the meal is served." Yanagawa Qing slowly walked to the dining table and sat down, pointing to the stewed vegetables and said, "Knowing that you were coming back, Yingying called the boss of Palace Journal last night. I made a reservation because I was afraid that I might not be able to buy it if I got there late. So I bought three things to try, and for the others, your wife will prepare some of your favorite dishes."

 “My wife is the best to me. I’ll try another piece of pickled pepper chicken feet.”

Yanagawa Kei glanced at Li Mo and asked, "What is the current progress of the shipwreck in the Northern Song Dynasty?"

“It’s going very smoothly. I estimate it will be cleared before the end of the month. If everything goes according to plan, I will go to the South China Sea to salvage the second sunken ship in August.”

“Then are you going to salvage the foreign shipwreck from the middle and late Ming Dynasty first, or the steel behemoth shipwreck from the end of World War II?”

"I need to communicate with those in Kyoto first. If the target is the sunken ship from World War II, I estimate that the salvage process will be very difficult. With our current technical level, I am afraid that we will not be able to salvage the entire steel behemoth as a whole. Come up. If it needs to be salvaged, it must be done manually, which will take a very long time."

"I have carefully considered several possible options, but they were all rejected by myself. Manual salvage seems to be the only option at present, but the number of sunken treasures on the World War II sunken ship is estimated to be more. And I guess that the missing It’s possible that the decades-old Kyoto Man skull fossils are in that sunken ship.”

Song Yuanning brought over a plate of big fish head roasted in soy sauce: "Go wash your hands and prepare for dinner. You can chat while you eat. Turn on the air conditioning at home so that the dishes don't get cold."

“Dad, Xiaomo, Yangyang, you eat first, and my son and I will play together for a while.”

After lunch, Yingying and Yangyang went shopping, while Li Mo returned to Yu Linglong's home and had a good sleep with the air conditioner blowing on. When he woke up, it was already dark outside, and there were bright lights everywhere along the Huangpu River opposite. The lights, especially the lights from the Oriental Pearl Tower, will continue to change into various colors.

He took out a bottle of iced mineral water from the refrigerator and sat cross-legged in front of the large French window. Whenever he was alone, he would have the idea of ​​​​retiring and living such a carefree life.

Liu Yingying opened the door and walked in. She was carrying some food in her hand and asked about the smell of cumin barbecue from a distance.

"Why did you think of eating barbecue today? Haven't you been shouting about losing weight?" Li Mo stood up and looked behind her, "Yangyang didn't follow you here?"

"That child has a sharp mind and knows everything. She said that if you follow her, she will be like a big light bulb and give us some time to live in the world of two people. She and her bodyguard went to stay in a hotel, and they have already booked a flight back to Kyoto tomorrow."

Liu Yingying took a few plates from the kitchen, then placed several large packages of various barbecues separately, and took out four cans of ice-cold beer from the refrigerator.

 “Xiao Mo, sit here and have a drink with me.”

Li Mo sat across from her, opened a can of beer and touched it to her. After one gulp, his whole body felt cool.

“This barbecue restaurant is doing very well and the food they make tastes great. How about you try it?”

“It’s really good. The roasted pork kidney is very delicious.”

Yingying took a sip of cold beer and then said, "Xiao Mo, I want to ask you something. Recently, there are rumors in the entertainment industry that you have an unusual relationship with that 18th-tier actor Yu Liyang?"
