Huo Jianming quickly issued instructions according to Ye Haoran's statement, and not long after, the cutting instrument was delivered.

Ye Haoran took the cutting machine from the crew. Under his operation, a hole was cut out of the huge iron cauldron. Looking inside through the sunlight, some of the things inside could be seen.

A large number of ceramic cups are stored in it, most of which are relatively intact and have no cracks.

However, there is still a part of it that may have cracked due to bumps during the process of getting it up.

In addition to ceramics, there are also other items, but due to age issues, they have deteriorated.

The wooden products were okay, but items such as silk that could not withstand preservation could no longer look like their original appearance. As the iron cauldron was opened, they quickly rotted away.

"Blue and white porcelain?"

A soft cry rang out from the crowd. The value of ancient blue and white porcelain was very high. It could cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. Some even sold for over 100 million at auction. There were at least dozens of pieces in the iron cauldron. If they were sold, they would definitely be worth a fortune. A huge sum of money that ordinary people cannot make in their lifetime.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the exquisite porcelain, but Ye Haoran was relatively calm. He had encountered too many good things recently, and even blue and white porcelain was not an extraordinary item in front of him.

His eyes glanced around inside, and finally his eyes were attracted by the books in the corner of the iron cauldron.

Books, as paper items, are not easy to preserve.

After hundreds of years, these books have not been affected at all. They look like new books. They have obviously undergone special treatment.

Ye Haoran's curiosity was aroused and he immediately used the identification technique on those books.

Heaven creates things.

Seeing the information given by the identification technique, Ye Haoran was slightly startled, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Tiangong Kaiwu" is the world's first comprehensive work on agriculture and handicraft production. It is a comprehensive scientific and technological work in ancient China, which includes various craft technologies of the Ming Dynasty and previous dynasties.

However, this book was written in the late Ming Dynasty. Due to the war, it was not widely disseminated. Later, because of some of the words in it, it was burned by the Qing Dynasty. It had limited domestic influence. On the contrary, it benefited people abroad and the West. In the early days of industrial enlightenment, many technologies were influenced by this book and were specially included.

It was not until the fall of the Qing Dynasty that construction and construction came into the view of domestic scholars.

Although the book in his hand is not the original, it is also the original version.

Compared with the preserved version, the difference is still quite large and has high research value.

"Are there any books in here?"

Sensing something strange about Ye Haoran, Xu Mei also discovered those books. She was also quite surprised by the appearance of these books.

The cloth was rotten.

Logically speaking, books should not be preserved.

After others heard this, they only belatedly discovered the existence of the book.

"How were these books preserved?"

"It should be because this thing is sealed, so it's not broken."

"According to you, what's going on with that pile of rotten things?"

"If you ask me, it must be made of some special material. I remember saying that there is a kind of paper that won't break for thousands of years. I guess it's that kind of paper."

...No one knew the content of the book itself, and all their attention was focused on how it was preserved.

While Ye Haoran was moving the contents of the iron cauldron outside, people from the cultural relics department hurried over.

They didn't call to inform Ye Haoran, but the incident happened through Ye Haoran's live broadcast room.

Ye Haoran was studying the book on Tiangong Kaiwu when someone from the cultural relics department came over.

"Any big discoveries?"

Song Xiaoyu stood not far from Ye Haoran, looking at Ye Haoran with a smile.

As a recognized big-shot figure in the archaeological community, Ye Haoran's professional level is beyond his comparison.

Ye Haoran raised his head and looked at him, then handed the book in his hand over: "Look at this."

Song Xiaoyu was stunned and didn't understand what Ye Haoran meant at all. This book was too new and didn't look like something that was old. Moreover, there weren't many that were really valuable in ancient books.

What a discovery a seemingly ordinary book can make.

However, he did not express his thoughts and studied the book in his hand with doubts.

When he saw the four words "Tiangong Kaiwu", he was stunned for a moment. As the world's first comprehensive work on agriculture and handicraft production, most people may not know about the history of Tiangong Kaiwu. Of course people will know this.

However, he didn't pay too much attention. Tiangong Kaiwu was not completely lost, and an old book recording the contents of Tiangong Kaiwu was not worth much.

"This is from the late Ming Dynasty. It should be the first edition of that year."

Ye Haoran said lightly.

Song Xiaoyu's face changed drastically. The books in his hand were like a huge boulder, so heavy that almost every book fell to the ground without grasping it properly.

Because it was listed as a banned book by the Qing Dynasty, the early versions of Tiangong Kaiwu were basically destroyed. Even the versions available in China are from abroad. Otherwise, no one would know that such a book existed in history.

Not to mention the earliest version.

It is indeed an incredible and important discovery. If the big figures in the archaeological world knew about it, it would definitely shock many people.

Whether it is research value or historical value, this book is extremely high.

Ye Haoran ignored Song Xiaoyu. After handing the book to Song Xiaoyu, he picked up another one and read it. The things recorded on it were indeed far behind compared to now. They were all advanced craftsmanship at the time. Every time one comes out, it can create countless values.

And Tiangong Kaiwu is only one of them. At that time, the Taizhou School proposed that "daily necessities are the way for the common people", and a large number of scientific works emerged, such as Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, which was also from that period.

At that time, domestic science was extremely active, but it did not develop after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

There are a lot of contents recorded above that even a modern person like Ye Haoran finds very novel.
Vitality → Water and Fire → Earth → Metal and Wood → Inanimate → Plants and Trees → Animals, this is one of the statements made. It is undoubtedly very funny now, but at that time, this statement was still quite bold. .

No matter which country it is, ancient legends state that all living beings were created by gods and have no relationship with each other.

The evolution of living things from matter can be said to be quite deviant.

If there are sufficient scientific tools to assist, it may not be impossible to deduce a theory similar to the theory of evolution.
