Chapter 19 Bronze Building Blocks?

In the next few months, bronze castings were salvaged and found in the offshore of Hawke Island, or appeared directly on the beach.

In the later period, the Duke of Hawke specially organized personnel to dive and salvage, and initially judged that there may be a 2000-year-old site on the nearby seabed.

Sometimes only one or two pieces are found, sometimes even seven or eight pieces are found at a time. All the discoveries are posted on the official website of the Duke of Hawke, with photos of each piece of bronze casting attached, but the photos are a bit blurry, as if they were processed Pass.

But no one cared, in fact no one cared at all.

For the same reason, 2000 years ago, people in the Old Continent had popularized ironware for hundreds of thousands of years. Who cares if you unearth some bronze pieces?

Perhaps some Western scholars who study the history of the island countries in the Eastern Ocean will be more interested, but the popularity is too low, and the West has not reproduced it, so they cannot see it.

Even the surrounding island countries don't care, because there is no one in them who studies history at all...

They are all island countries with backward economies and small populations, and their histories are all written by Western research...

The local residents of Hawke Island are very concerned, because the Duke issued an announcement that anyone who finds a bronze casting and submits it to the administrative office or the Duke himself will be rewarded with a reward of 10000 pounds.

It is equivalent to more than a year's income of many people!

Therefore, many islanders joined the search team to assist the Administration Office in searching for the "treasure".

Of course, there are also some people who have made up their minds and contacted foreign cultural relic dealers in advance to try to get a higher price.

But this idea doesn't work. The Duke and the administrative office seem to have been prepared for a long time, and they are watching very closely. If there is any news, they will come to the door immediately.

They even stopped the only flight directly, and they obviously attached great importance to this discovery.

On the other hand, it is not so easy for them to find suitable buyers. After all, they have no experience. This news is basically not news in mainstream countries, and the photos are very blurry. It is normal that they are not willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. But the price offered was even lower than the price offered by the Administration Office.

Another point is that most of these bronze castings are below 30 meters below the seabed, and ordinary islanders have no way to search for them. Only professional divers hired by the Duke can go into the water to search, of course including Diana.

Only some bronze castings that appeared on the beach will be found by them, which is very rare.

After three months of searching, a total of 917 bronze castings were found on Hawke Island. These bronze castings are basically the same weight and shape are regular octahedrons, but each one is different, and some of them are relatively different in appearance. Flat, some uneven, full of patterns.

Since there is no museum in the Duke's territory, and there is no security force in the administrative hall at night, they are afraid of being stolen, so these bronze castings were directly transported to the Duke's mansion, filling almost half of the room.

People in the administrative office have no opinion on this. After all, according to the laws of the suzerain country, this island belongs to the private territory of the Duke. It stipulates that all cultural relics found are owned by the Duke. Originally, this was just a useless clause. After all, this bird is not If there are any cultural relics in the shitting place, even if there are, they are worthless...

In fact, even these bronze castings seem to be worthless at first.

But now it's all piled up together, and it looks quite spectacular.

"Diana, what do you think?" He Xiao deliberately said to Diana.

If he didn't ask, Diana would basically not take the initiative to speak.

"Your Excellency, I think these things are very strange. Why did the aborigines cast these things in 2000? Could it be used for sacrifice?" Diana asked very indifferently.

"Do you think it looks like building blocks?" He Xiao said with a smile.

"Blocks? It's really a bit like... But how is it possible? What did the aborigines 2000 years ago make blocks for?" Diana was even more puzzled.

"Maybe if we put it together, we will know why. Let's try it out and call them all over." He Xiao said.

Although these bronze castings are all regular octahedrons, the surface bumps and textures of each piece are different, so it is necessary to piece them together according to the coincidence of the bumps and textures of the edges, which is a very large workload.

So He Xiao decided to let all the maids and guards in the Duke's Mansion participate.

"Your Excellency, why are they so well preserved? According to common sense, these things have been soaked in the seabed for 2000 years, shouldn't they be severely damaged and corroded?" Akagi Meiya asked curiously.

"Who knows, maybe they weren't exposed to water in the first place, but were only recently damaged and leaked out, or they used a special anti-oxidation technology..." He Xiao replied perfunctorily.

Anyway, as long as the task is completed, the system will automatically patch, and there will be no logical errors.

More than ten people spent two days finally splicing all the bronze castings together.

The final result shocked everyone. It turned out to be a bronze globe with a diameter of about 3 meters...

Although there are still some incomplete parts, the basic outline has been fully revealed.

It even perfectly shows the terrain on the surface of the earth, including the towering Himalayas, the flat and vast American Plains, the Dongchuan Basin surrounded by mountains, and even the terrain at the bottom of the ocean, such as the deeply sunken Mana Trench, Fusang Trench!

Anyone with a little common sense of geography can see that the terrain is drawn with great precision.

But Hawke Island can't be found, not because it's too small, but because the whole piece is missing...

According to model calculations, this globe should have originally consisted of 1024 bronze cast pieces, but only 917 pieces were found, and most of the missing more than 100 pieces were concentrated in Hawke Island and the Eastern Ocean to its east...

I don't know if it's a coincidence or there are other reasons.

"Your Excellency, what's the situation?" Akagi Meiya couldn't believe her eyes.

Originally, she thought it would be a big tripod or an astrolabe or something, but it turned out to be a globe...

Bronze + globe, what the hell is this...

Moreover, some experts identified that the bronze casting was 2000 years ago, and it was probably cast by the local aborigines. That is to say, more than 2000 years ago, the aborigines here used bronze to cast a globe...

Is there a funnier joke than this?
"I don't know..." He Xiao, the mastermind behind the scenes, shook his head innocently.

In fact, these bronze castings are all made by a computer expert he found with a lot of money. He used global terrain data to generate a 3D earth model, then divided the earth's surface into slices, and then rendered them to make fake photos...

Originally, there were no real objects, but after the entries became true, they appeared one after another in the places He Xiao designated them to appear...

Of course, he didn't really make up 917 entries, not because he didn't want to, after all, he could swipe item cards.

Even with 917 lowest-level item cards, the superposition effect is obvious.

But after testing, he found that two tasks cannot be triggered at the same time. As long as one task is in progress, the second task cannot be triggered, even if the exhaustiveness index reaches more than 30%.

This system is very cunning, blocking the path of the brush in advance...
