Chapter 74 Intensifies (please collect, please recommend!!!)
"Okay!" Another middle-aged man said, "Stop chatting, let's start as soon as possible!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and rushed to the research room where the fonts were stored without stopping.

When the font appeared in front of this group of people, they subconsciously held their breath.

"Although I have seen the photos, it is really surprising to see the real thing."

"No wonder Xiao Xu said that this is a type printed with movable type. The shape is really similar."

This group of people had sharp eyes, and when they saw the relatively complete cubes, they immediately understood why Xu Jialiang made such a bold inference.

One person asked: "Professor Xu, are there any other items in the ancient tomb that can prove it? For example, the existence of printed matter?"

Xu Jialiang shook his head: "No, I suspect that the owner of the tomb just buried these characters as funeral objects, maybe they have unusual meanings."

Seeing this, an expert made a suggestion: "In this way, let's split up and go to the grave with Professor Xu in a team to see if there are any omissions."

"The other team stayed here and tried their best to restore it. First, restore the relatively complete pieces to see if they might be fonts or seals?"

"I agree!"

"agree!"

"I have no problem."

That's how things settled down.

Professor Xu Jialiang led a group of people to the excavation site of the tomb, while the other group stayed behind.

On the way to the scene, a professor couldn't help complaining:

"Professor Xu, I was at the excavation site of a tomb of the Tang Dynasty. I received news from your side and flew over overnight. Maybe I also made a major discovery there."

"You should also pay attention to what you say, the young people nowadays are too impetuous."

What he said was referring to the interview with that member of Xu Jialiang's team. It stands to reason that such a bold inference should not be easily revealed to the media.

That team member went to Xu Jialiang that night and sincerely apologized, saying that he had lost his mind for a while and didn't keep his mouth shut.

It's just that no one knows what he thinks.

Professor Xu Jialiang did not continue to pursue the matter. The consequences of this incident have already been caused, and no matter how much it is said now, it will not help the matter.

"Old Liu, let me tell you, this may really be a relic of movable type printing, and it is a great event to witness history!"

Xu Jialiang is also relatively familiar with this professor, and it doesn't hurt to make a little joke.

"Okay, I can't say no to you, you, just be optimistic, it's a good thing if you suffer a loss this time, I'll give you a longer memory!"

……

Things are not going well.

Professor Xu Jialiang led people to search the tomb for several days, but no relevant traces were found.

On the other hand, the progress of the recovery work is not fast.

Generally speaking, the recovery time of cultural relics unearthed from ancient tombs ranges from ten days to ten years according to the degree of damage.

The size of the middle span depends entirely on the damage of the cultural relics.

At present, except for a few of these fonts that are relatively complete, the rest are broken and out of shape.

Together, Professor Xu Jialiang's team decided to restore the few well-preserved ones first, and wait for the rest to come later.

But even so, it will take at least a month or two.

However, public opinion has not left them much time.

In the past few days, reports on the matter have continued to ferment on the Internet.

Professor Xu Jialiang has received countless interview calls from the media, but he can only keep his mouth shut.

But the more this is the case, the more it seems that he is wrong.

Many netizens who originally supported him, as time went by, gradually began to lean towards his opposite.

Bangzi people are even more proud.

"This is Huaxia's professor? I dare not even be interviewed, I must be guilty!"

"Hahaha, he certainly didn't expect that what he said would have such a big impact. Let me tell you Chinese people, don't mess with us!"

"I see, Huaxia just wants to test our reaction. If we don't care, you will continue to snatch other cultures, right?"

"I support your point of view! The civilization of East Asia originated from our country! Shameless Chinese people!"

In Bangzi Country, where the ancient book printed with movable metal type was born, a museum has now been built.

This ancient printing museum is a cultural heritage unit of the Bangzi Kingdom, and the entire museum is basically themed on ancient printing.

Metal movable type printing is the most important part of it.

On the official website of the museum, the importance of metal movable type printing is publicized, claiming that this is the highest invention in the history of human culture and the third information revolution!
Even because of metal movable type printing, it brought us the fourth information revolution of today's network.

What's ridiculous is that they didn't mention anything about the movable clay type invented by Huaxia Bi Sheng, as if the metal movable type had nothing to do with the clay movable type.

This museum was established by Bangzi Kingdom to prove that metal movable type was invented by them and to inherit this ancient culture.

And the news that the remains of movable type printing were unearthed in the tombs of the Qin Dynasty in Huaxia naturally spread here inevitably.

The museum official soon voiced:
"We know that Huaxia is eager to prove that it is the country of origin of movable type printing, but it turns out that metal movable type was invented by our country. Please Huaxia stop such funny self-directed and self-acted as soon as possible."

These words seem to be persuasive, but they are actually yin and yang.

When this passage was translated to China by enthusiastic netizens, and after explaining the ins and outs of this museum, public opinion exploded again.

"Bangzi Kingdom's heart can be punished! Metal movable type has nothing to do with our clay movable type, right?"

"Movable type printing originally originated from China, what is eager to prove?"

"Hehe, you may not know who invented metal movable type. It is recorded in ancient Chinese books that tin was used to make movable type as early as the Song Dynasty!"

"That is to say, there are no cultural relics to prove it. Maybe someday there will be evidence. Shameless Bangzi Chinese, by then, even your metal movable type will be used as a fig leaf for you!"

Professor Xu Jialiang also received the notice from above.

The country still attaches great importance to talents like Professor Xu Jialiang.

Furthermore, now Bangziguo has begun to make a big fuss about it.

If Professor Xu Jialiang is sure, he will let go and do it. Naturally, someone will help him withstand the pressure of public opinion.

If it's just a casual remark, clarify it as soon as possible, lest the incident escalate to the end and ruin Professor Xu's reputation.

Xu Jialiang locked himself in the research room, looked at the small fonts in front of him, and was silent for a long time.
