Chapter 236 Battery

Chen Ran did not answer the old man Huang, but was still thinking. After seeing the internal structure of the vessel, he always felt that such a structure seemed familiar... "Xiao Ran, don't think about it, just admit defeat, this thing, I’ve never heard of it.” Seeing that Chen Ran was still standing there thinking, Wang Zhiqing pulled Chen Ran with a wry smile. He is engaged in archaeological research. Even if he has never seen some ancient objects, he should have heard of them. , and even knew some ancient relics that were not circulated outside, but he had never seen or heard of the vessel in front of him, and even the ceramics on the outside of the vessel could not tell which dynasty or type it was from. It's really strange.

Pulled by Wang Zhiqing, Chen Ran also sat down, but when he sat down, he bumped into the strong flashlight on the table, Chen Ran quickly caught the strong flashlight that was about to fall to the ground, and stood on the table.

To identify antiques, strong flashlights and magnifying glasses are generally essential tools, so almost everyone present has a pair of magnifying glasses and bright flashlights in front of them.

"I can't identify it, I can't identify it, old Liu, let's continue..." The old man Huang looked at Chen Ran happily, but urged Liu Lei to continue, but he didn't finish speaking, It was suddenly interrupted.

"Wait a moment."

It was Chen Ran who interrupted Old Man Huang.

Chen Ran, who had already sat down, suddenly stood up again.

As soon as Chen Ran said this, all the people present immediately looked over.

"Xiaoran, do you recognize it?"

Wang Zhiqing couldn't help but asked in surprise, and other people also speculated like this. The old man Huang was appraised by others, but he insisted on not saying what this antique is. What exactly is this antique, I naturally hope that Chen Ran can identify it. Of course, there are also people who are skeptical. So many experts present can't identify it. You, a 'hair' boy, can identify it. ?

Zhu Feng, Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei, who knew Chen Ran well, looked at Chen Ran with full expectation. Obviously, in their eyes, Chen Ran was a person who always created miracles, and Chen Ran was able to identify this antique. Not impossible.

"What? Little brother, did you recognize it?" The old man Huang didn't seem to be worried at all about Chen Ran being able to identify it. When he was speaking, there was a smug expression on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Ran didn't answer the old man Huang's words immediately, but lowered his head in silence for a while, then raised his head, looked at the old man Huang and said suddenly: "Your thing is a battery, right?"

"Cough cough..."

Originally Zhu Feng had great expectations for Chen Ran, but who would have thought that Chen Ran's sudden utterance almost choked him.

Not to mention him, even Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei were not much better than him, they all looked at Chen Ran in astonishment, battery?The battery will look like this... The other people present were also stunned by Chen Ran's shocking answer.

Battery?

This one really dared to think.

"You... how would you know!"

Chen Ran's sudden answer stunned the others, but when they were stunned, there was a sudden exclamation of surprise.

The sound of exclamation attracted all the people present to cast their gazes, but they were all dumbfounded in the end.

It was the old man Huang who made the exclamation!

The old man Huang was really too surprised, so he couldn't help but blurted out such a sentence, and he reacted after saying it, and quickly closed his mouth, but it was obviously too late.

"How could I not know."

After the old man Huang's voice fell behind, Chen Ran said lightly that he had planned to give up at first, but when he sat down, he suddenly bumped into a strong flashlight placed on the table. After catching the strong flashlight, he put it on the table When it was on, his eyes inevitably fell on the bright flashlight, and his heart moved suddenly.

This object isn't really a battery, it's just called a battery.

"Before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Persian Dynasty established contact with the Northern Wei Dynasty that unified northern China. It is recorded in the "Book of Wei" that at that time nearly ten Persian missions came to the Northern Wei Dynasty. The first five times, Arriving at Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is now Datong, Shanxi, and the last five times, they came to Huadu after the capital was moved. When these Persian envoys came to China, they also presented Persian things, that is, various silverware And Persian utensils, these Persian utensils, there are some very strange things."

Chen Ran didn't care how dumbfounded the others were, and he spoke in a calm manner while pondering his thoughts.At this moment, the people present didn't know that Chen Ran was right. When they heard Chen Ran's explanation, they all pricked up their ears and listened.

Chen Ran went on to say: "One day in June 1936, when a group of road construction workers were building a railway outside Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, they suddenly found a huge stone slab with many ancient Persian characters engraved on it. The workers felt that They were very surprised. They continued to dig deeper and found a huge ancient tomb made of hundreds of boards. The ancient tomb alarmed the archaeological staff of the Yike Museum. They immediately rushed to the site for excavation.

After more than two months of hard work, archaeologists found many cultural relics.Especially after opening the sarcophagus, a large number of artifacts from the Persian Dynasty era from 248 BC to 226 BC were found.Among these antiquities, some strange pottery vessels, corroded copper pipes and iron rods were found.

The German archaeologist Wilhelm Kavenig, who was the curator of the Iraqi Museum at the time, announced the amazing news after identification. The pottery vessel unearthed in Baghdad was an ancient chemical battery. Alkali dissolves 'liquid', and electricity can be generated.

Cavignillo's assertion shocked the archaeological community.If it is admitted that this is an ancient battery, it means that the Persians who lived in this area as early as the 3rd century BC had already started using batteries.This is more than 1800 years earlier than the first battery invented by the world-renowned physicist Volt in 2000 AD.As a result, many archaeologists came from all over the world, hoping to conduct a careful study of this ancient land.

This kind of ceramic vessel does have the function of a battery, but the ancients at that time were not used to generate electricity, but were used to gild statues and ornaments.

Among the utensils unearthed from the tombs of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Datong in 1988, in addition to the Persian silver bowl, there were also various Persian utensils. This also confirms the statement that Persia invented the battery first. In addition to the utensils unearthed from the tombs of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in fact, this kind of Persian utensils have been handed down from the court of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but they are very rare. The ancients used it as a gilded tool. "

This knowledge is a bit 'messy'. Chen Ran didn't read it in one book, but in many types of books. These books include antique books, books such as unsolved mysteries of the world, and There is a book about Chinese historical tools. In the book about Chinese historical tools, Chen Ran saw such a tool, but this kind of tool is very rare, and the book only mentioned it...Chen Ran now It is a summary of the relevant knowledge in these various books.

This is also the reason why Chen Ran felt familiar with the internal structure of the vessel after using the energy aperture, but couldn't remember it.

The entire hall was silent, only Chen Ran's voice could be heard. Following Chen Ran's explanation, everyone suddenly realized, and at the same time, the way they looked at Chen Ran changed. This is the first time they have heard what Chen Ran said. Well, if you don't have a wide range of knowledge, then obviously you can't say such a thing.

"Your utensil is this kind of gold-plated tool called a battery, right?" After the explanation, Chen Ran finally looked at the old man Huang. After counting all the tricks, he didn't expect that Chen Ran not only recognized his object, but also described it in such detail. He didn't know these things, and he only knew that it was a kind of utensil that was spread from Persia to China. Known as "the battery", he was able to know this, and it was only by accident.

The old man Huang didn't answer, and Chen Ran didn't let him answer, and then said: "Your utensil should have been imitated by experts after it was discovered that it had the function of a battery in 1936. It's not more than a hundred years old."

"This utensil of mine has a history of thousands of years, and it was handed down from the imperial palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty." Hearing Chen Ran's words, the old man Huang immediately retorted unconvincedly, perhaps a little unconfident, and added the following In a word, before this, he didn't know that his utensil was handed down from the Imperial Palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"If you don't believe me, just break it open and have a look." Chen Ran answered indifferently, and then ignored him, as long as he smashed it open, the material inside the vessel would be revealed.

Chen Ran's hand can be said to have shocked the old man Huang, and made him dubious. He put his hands in his pockets, stroked the utensils, and made a serious face, but he didn't say anything again.

"Hahaha, wonderful! Wonderful! You don't even look at who Brother Chen is. You are asking for trouble in front of Brother Chen. You are asking for trouble. You have stumbled now, haha..."

It was Zhu Feng who laughed loudly at this moment.

Zhu Feng laughed loudly and clapped his hands in praise. Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei also smiled and raised their thumbs to Chen Ran. There was a burst of applause in the whole hall... Only the old man Huang was embarrassed sitting there.
