Chapter 548 Another Great Treasure: Ming Xuande Furnace
When the follow-up teams arrived one by one, the entire valley became extremely lively, each with a division of labor.A few people are building a signal platform, and a few people are filming, preparing to record the entire treasure-making process and archive it later as archaeological evidence.

The six people who followed were not only profitable but also famous this time. After returning, they will be the main participants in this archaeology and will become their proud capital.

"Boss, these two diamonds are so beautiful, how much are they worth?" The poisonous snake held up the natural diamonds and looked at the sunlight. They were crystal clear, and there was a hint of pink in them, which almost blinded his eyes.

"It's definitely not cheap. When I got married, I originally wanted to buy a diamond ring for my wife, but it turned out that a small diamond would cost [-] to [-] yuan, and the grade of the diamond was not high."

A security guard who has already married a family is very experienced, and the other security guard nodded repeatedly: "I was not willing to buy it when I got married. Later, I spent [-] to [-] yuan and bought three golds. It looks more festive and more practical."

"Boss, how many grams of diamond ring did you buy for the lady boss?"

Someone else asked jokingly.

"Did not buy."

Li Mo brought the two natural diamonds over, took a photo of them facing the sun and continued: "The largest natural diamond that appeared in the world before was called the Cullinan Diamond. The emperor's scepter and the crown. And my two natural diamonds are heavier than the Cullinan diamond, so you can guess how much it's worth."

"Boss, if you show them all, wouldn't the Cullinan diamonds only be eaten as farts?"

"The treasure of the town hall is priceless." Li Mo put the two diamonds into the safe that had been customized a long time ago, patted his buttocks and stretched, "Follow me to the next treasure spot, where there is a treasure that is unique in the world. The blood-colored coral tree fossil is another treasure of the town hall."

The blood-colored coral tree is as red as blood, which is very rare, and its surface feels like jade.

"Boss, where do you think these rare treasures came from?"

You ask me, who shall I ask?

"I saw a coral tree that was much smaller than this one in the Palace Museum. It really can't be compared with mine. It will be displayed in the future and it will directly kill the other party."

Li Mo changed the subject, put the blood-colored coral tree fossils into a wooden box, and carefully protected them.

Among the treasures of this isolated island, the most precious relics are two natural diamonds, the bloody coral tree, the golden skull pirate ship and the golden skull sacrificial vat.

"Associate Professor Li, are you there?"

Zheng Bin's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"I'm here, please tell me."

Zheng Bin's voice was full of surprises and said: "I found an incense burner in a well-preserved wooden box, come and have a look."

incense burner?

Li Mo reacted quickly, and the first thought that popped into his mind was 'it can't be the Xuande Furnace'. If it is really the Xuande Furnace, then there will be another town hall treasure in the future museum.

"I'll go right now."

Zheng Bin was looking over and over at an open censer in front of him, exclaiming from time to time: "It's a good thing, it's really a good thing."

"Mr. Lee."

A soldier in civilian clothes saluted him at the door.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Li Mo smiled and nodded at him, then walked in.

"Associate Professor Li, come and take a look at this antique from the Ming Dynasty. This is a genuine Xuande furnace, not as many imitations as there are in the domestic market." Zheng Bin hurriedly handed the incense burner in his hand to Li Mo, "Look There is a standard inscription on the bottom of this incense burner, "Daming Xuande Annual System". If it hadn't been found on this isolated island, I would not be sure that it is genuine. Associate Professor Li, you are an expert in this field, tell me about the Xuande incense burner. what happened."

There is no need to identify it at all, just like Zheng Bin, you can confirm that it is a genuine Xuande stove from the Ming Dynasty just by looking at the deposit. After all, it was brought over by Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao hundreds of years ago, when he went to the West.

"Xuande Furnace is a copper incense burner designed and supervised by Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, in the third year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty. It is the first bronze ware made of wind-milled copper in Chinese history."

Zheng Bin immediately asked: "What is wind-milled copper?"

"As far as I know, this is a kind of copper that Siam paid tribute to. The main component is brass. In order to make a high-quality copper furnace, under the personal supervision of Zhu Zhanji, the entire production process, including copper smelting, modeling From the "Xuanhe Bogutu", "Archaeological Map" and other classics, as well as hundreds of famous Song and Yuan kilns in the secret collection of the Neifu, we must select a shape that is suitable for the applicable object and elegant in style, draw it into a pattern, and then present it. Give them a personal look, and explain the source of the drawing and the source of the allusion, and after screening and confirmation, it will be cast into a physical sample for them to look at, and the casting will not start until they are satisfied."

"During the casting process, in addition to copper, precious materials such as gold and silver were added, so the furnace quality is very delicate, dark purple or dark brown. Generally, the furnace material needs to be refined four times, while the Xuande furnace needs twelve refinements, so The furnace quality will be more pure and fine, like baby skin. The gold-plated or gold-inlaid Xuande furnace is shining golden, which can give people a feeling that is different from ordinary utensils."

Zheng Bin nodded slightly, and muttered: "No wonder there are so many imitations in later generations."

"It is said in the history books that the Xuande furnace made a total of [-] tripods, and there is also a saying that [-] tripods were made. From Ming Xuande to the Qing Dynasty, until the Republic of China, the imitation of Xuande has not been interrupted. Now it is difficult for experts to identify which one is genuine. , which one is an imitation.”

Li Mo patted the Xuande stove in his hand and said with a smile: "But we don't need to worry, this must be the real thing. It seems that when Zheng He went to the West, the Emperor Ming still asked him to bring a lot of good things. I never thought of it. In the end, it was cheaper for us descendants. Has the discovery process been photographed?"

"Mr. Li, the whole process has been filmed." Naturally, the photographer did not dare to slack off, but Li Mo paid quite a lot of money, so how could he dare to cheat and play tricks.

"That's good. They will be archived when they go back, and they will be used as evidence for identification in the future." Li Mo looked at the other wooden boxes in the wooden house, and he had sorted out several of them, all of which were cast gold bricks.

There are no words on six sides of these gold bricks, so it has no meaning to be placed in the museum.Unlike some gold bricks that also have a year number and pattern on them, they should be gold bricks that are specially molded and uniformly made, and some of these can be placed in museums.

"Poisonous snake."

Li Mo turned his head and shouted, and the poisonous snake and another security guard outside immediately walked in.

"Pack this incense burner carefully, and then ship the first batch back to the ship. The value of this Xuande incense burner is many times higher than that of the bloody coral tree fossil."

"Yes, boss."

The blood-colored coral tree fossils are already the treasure of the town hall, and the value of the incense burner in front of it is many times higher. It is really hard to imagine how high its value is.

All Qibao work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
