Rebirth 2003: Dominate the Tech World

The next day, Ye Yunzhou’s mother invited several aunts to personally direct them to clean the entire courtyard. At the same time, most of the things used by the previous owner of the house were directly given away or thrown away and replaced with new ones, such as bedding.

Ye Yunzhou continued his treasure hunt. He thought that even if he didn’t find it after searching for everything, he wouldn’t be bothered in the future. If he found it, it would prove that many of the things he remembered before his rebirth were correct, and he would be more confident when making decisions in the future.

Yesterday, only a dozen rooms were checked, and there were more than 60 rooms waiting to be checked. Ye Yunzhou felt tired, but also full of expectations and excitement for treasure hunting.

Ye Yunzhou carefully checked one room after another until noon. He had checked 25 rooms. Together with the 16 rooms that had been checked yesterday, he had checked 41 rooms so far, but still found nothing abnormal.

He took a break at noon, ate something, and started checking one room after another.

A day passed quickly. When the afterglow of summer sprinkled on the second ring of Yanjing, the whole city seemed to be shrouded in a layer of golden gauze. The orange-red light of the sunset softly outlined the outline of the ancient buildings, and the glazed tiles shone with charming brilliance.

Ye Yunzhou leaned on the railing, opened the bottle of mineral water, and drank a mouthful. The breeze blew gently, bringing a little coolness and blowing away the heat of the day.

He looked up at the sky, and the clouds were dyed into gorgeous colors, from orange-red to pink, and then to lavender, like a dream. Did I remember it wrong? But how could the huge osmanthus tree in the front yard appear so clearly in my memory?

Ye Yunzhou shook his head, moved his body, and prepared to enter the main room to take another look. However, when he was about to pass through the hanging flower door, he looked up and saw the wooden carvings on the hanging flower door. Ye Yunzhou was instantly attracted, because this carving did not look like osmanthus or plum blossoms, but like some kind of map. After a closer look, isn’t this the map of this quadrangle?

Why is the map carved on the hanging flower gate? Generally speaking, hanging flower gates are carved with osmanthus or something, which means “flowers bloom and wealth comes”. Now suddenly a map of the courtyard is carved, is there any mystery in it?

Ye Yunzhou looked at the map carefully in the afterglow of the sunset, wanting to see if he could find some secrets. He stared at it for a long time, looking for details bit by bit, and he really found something different. In the third courtyard, there was a small dot marked on the map.

What does this small dot mean? Ye Yunzhou pushed open the hanging flower gate, entered the second courtyard, and went north again to enter the third courtyard. The small dot marked on the map is in this courtyard. The whole courtyard is paved neatly with blue tiles, and nothing unusual was found.

Ye Yunzhou looked up at the sky. At this time, the afterglow of the sunset gradually dissipated, and the sky was shrouded in deep ink blue, with stars twinkling in it. Well, why mark a circle here?

Ye Yunzhou lay directly on the ground and looked at the twinkling stars in the sky. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. He turned over and began to knock along each floor tile. Well, suddenly, he found that the knocking sound of a floor tile was obviously different from the others, and there was a hollow echo.

This abnormal sound aroused his curiosity. He began to carefully check the surroundings of the stone slab and finally found a tiny gap.

Ye Yunzhou quickly found tools and spent half a day to pry up the stone slab, revealing a rusty iron ring. He took a deep breath, held the iron ring tightly, and pulled hard. The stone slab slowly moved, revealing a dark staircase. A musty smell came to his face, forcing him to cover his nostrils and hold his breath.

The stairs were made of rough stones and extended downward to the unknown depths. Ye Yunzhou’s heartbeat accelerated. He took out a lighter, lit a piece of paper and threw it down. The paper immediately went out. Well, it means that it is relatively closed inside and there is not enough oxygen! Ye Yunzhou waited for more than ten minutes until the staircase was connected to the outside world before picking up the flashlight and carefully embarking on the road of exploration.

The basement was covered with dust, and the musty smell in the air became stronger and stronger. Ye Yunzhou swept the room with a flashlight and saw rows of wooden boxes, each of which was tightly stacked together and covered with thick dust. He gently pushed open the nearest wooden box, and the lid creaked, revealing the secret inside.

There were several pieces of porcelain in the box, and their exquisite craftsmanship and elegant patterns immediately attracted Ye Yunzhou’s attention. He carefully took out one, and although the glaze on the surface of the porcelain was slightly dull, its extraordinary quality could still be seen.

As more wooden boxes were opened, Ye Yunzhou discovered a variety of cultural relics, including exquisite jade carvings, ancient calligraphy and paintings, and some metal products. EachEach of them exudes the fragrance of history.

Ye Yunzhou himself does not know how to explain antiques, but he has seen reports before his rebirth. There are not only bronze swords from the Qin Dynasty and jades from the Han Dynasty, but also the original painting “The Heavenly King Sending a Child” by Wu Daozi, the painting saint of the Tang Dynasty, and the original “Xia Ke Xing” written by Li Bai himself. Of course, there are also many blue and white porcelains from the Yuan Dynasty and various porcelains from the Ming Dynasty.

Ye Yunzhou’s heartbeat accelerated, and he felt that he was really going to make a fortune. Twenty years later, any one of these things would be at least a small goal to take to the auction house, and there are 98 boxes here, although there is a little difference from the hundreds of boxes reported before his rebirth.

Hahaha, it turns out that the memories before rebirth are extremely real. Ye Yunzhou is so excited now, even happier than the hundreds of millions he made from stock trading.

No, I have to cover it quickly. Once these things come into contact with air, they are easy to react chemically, leading to oxidation, corrosion and even carbonization, causing irreversible damage.

In his previous life, Ye Yunzhou had good knowledge of chemistry. He knew that there was less oxygen in the underground environment and there were inert gases, which helped slow down the corrosion process. However, once the cultural relics were unearthed, they were exposed to the air, the oxygen concentration increased, and the possible changes in humidity and light would accelerate the oxidation process.

Especially for cultural relics made of organic materials, such as ancient calligraphy and paintings, silk fabrics, etc., they were well protected in the oxygen-free environment underground. However, after being unearthed, these cultural relics may quickly deteriorate, fade, or collapse in structure due to the effects of oxygen, moisture and microorganisms in the air. For example, the Terracotta Warriors, known as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”, became “dusty” due to rapid oxidation and erosion within just a few minutes after being excavated.

Ye Yunzhou walked out of the basement and saw that there was no one around, so he covered the stone slab again and then re-laid the bluestone slabs outside.

Ye Yunzhou plans to build a private museum to collect these things when he makes money in the future. These are all priceless national treasures.

But now they have to stay in the basement for a while, because Ye Yunzhou doesn’t have that much money to build a museum.

As for donating to a museum, Ye Yunzhou has no idea at all. He still remembers that a patriotic businessman in the future donated hundreds of cultural relics to a museum in Xia State. Then one day, the merchant’s descendants came to the inland for tourism and wanted to go to the museum. The museum insisted on charging them tickets.

Later, after the incident was exposed, the museum not only did not admit its mistake, but also chose to say that if you donated it, it would belong to the country. Even the person who donated the cultural relics had to buy tickets.

Ye Yunzhou didn’t want to donate these cultural relics. If he wanted to see them in the future, he would have to buy tickets and queue up to see them.

That night, when Ye Yunzhou told his parents about the discovery of the antiques, his parents couldn’t believe it was true. Until the next day, Ye Yunzhou took them to uncover the bluestone brick and pull open the stone slab with iron rings, revealing the dark basement.

They were so shocked that they were speechless. They saw Ye Yunzhou said two days ago that he was going to hunt for treasures at home. They thought their son was just bored after watching too many movies and TV series. Unexpectedly, he was really looking for treasures and found them.

“Son, did you know that there were antiques in this courtyard house?” Ye Yunzhou’s mother stared at him and said.

“Mom, how could it be? I just stumbled upon it by accident. I didn’t expect there were treasures.”

Ye Yunzhou couldn’t tell them that I was reborn, so I knew that there were secrets in this courtyard house in advance. If that happened, his parents might suspect that their son had mental problems.

“What should we do with these treasures now? This is a national treasure.” Ye Yunzhou’s father asked in a deep voice.

“Put it aside for now. Don’t let anyone know for the time being. When we make money in the future, we will build a modern museum to store it.”

Ye Zhenting nodded and agreed with Ye Yunzhou’s statement. They didn’t mention any donations. People are selfish. Who wouldn’t want to take such treasures for themselves?
