Song Wenbin didn't know what to say for a long time, and his eyes widened in shock.
To be honest, he thought the director was joking with him at first, but when he thought about the two months of crazy training, he felt something was wrong. If he was just filming the show, there was no need for him to suffer through these two months of training.
And he was trained by a professional salvage team. This shows that the director is not joking with him. He is really going to Indonesia to conduct a real archaeological activity.
Huo Yu also said with a look of disbelief: "Of course I can understand if it's a show. After all, treasure hunting is also very interesting. But let me ask, are these information real? You couldn't find someone to make them up... .”
"This information is true!!" Su Tina immediately picked up a photo excitedly and said: "It was recorded by Wang Zhen. You see, he also wrote in the preface, with the first assistant Yang Shiqi refuting it, next The West should be banned, and similar books should be destroyed. I can’t bear to hide it, so I record it. I hope future generations will not forget it, don’t forget it... By the way, it is worth mentioning that the recorder Wang Zhen is Wang Jinghong’s The adopted son, and Wang Jinghong was Zheng He's deputy on his voyages to the West, so what you see should be Wang Jinghong's oral account plus Wang Zhen's records, which is very, very reliable.
"Holy shit..."
Song Wenbin couldn't stand it anymore. He put down Kuaizi and said, "Even if this book is true, there are more than six hundred years between us and the Ming Dynasty. Even if it is true, how can we find it!? The sea is so big, Even if the aircraft carrier sinks, you may not be able to find it. You ask us to find a... find a box... My God, this is almost like finding a needle in a haystack. It is completely impossible to do this kind of thing."
Huo Yu also looked at her in embarrassment and said, "Sutina, calm down, we are not playing house."
The director slowly raised his head from the noodles, wiped his mouth slowly, and said: "Actually, what you said makes sense, and I can understand it. At first, when the director of the Nanjing Museum came to see me, I thought he was out of his mind. Broken. But he told us one thing. Just last year, some Western treasure hunters in Indonesia found some fragments of cultural relics on the seabed. These fragments were confirmed to be cultural relics from the Ming Dynasty.
These fragments of cultural relics are scattered on the seabed, but there are no shipwrecks around them. This is a strange thing in the archaeological world. People have speculated about the origin of these fragments. "
Sutina picked up another photo and placed it in front of Song Wenbin. There were some pale yellow gold nuggets on the photo, as well as some porcelain and wood chips mixed with mud.
The director picked up the photos on the table and said: "But without Wang Zhen's "Floating Sea Chronicles", those people would never know the origin of the fragments. But this is the magic of information, precisely because we have detailed information top-secret records, so this incident was immediately connected to the history of our country. In fact, according to the research of some senior experts in the archaeological field, it is internally believed that these fragments were probably dropped by Zheng He at that time."
Song Wenbin finally calmed down and sighed: "Director, let me take a step back and say, even if the data record is true, even if there is such a box in this world, China has nothing but people, so many professional divers You don’t have to. If you don’t look for professional archaeologists, you have to look for us. Isn’t this just chasing a duck?”
The director looked around and lowered his voice and said: "The relationship between Indonesia and China is not good, and Indonesia does not allow anyone to take away any cultural relics that appear in their country. In 1998, a Southern Song Dynasty ship full of rare treasures The sunken ship was discovered by Western treasure hunters in the ocean in Indonesia. China hoped that Indonesia could return it. Indonesia refused, and even refused our request for joint salvage and rescue. After they and the Western treasure hunters salvaged the Chinese sunken ship, they immediately All of them were sold to a museum in Singapore for US$400 million, and not even a porcelain bowl was given to us. This incident is regarded as a deep shame by the Chinese archaeological community."
Song Wenbin remained silent.
He felt that the world had gone crazy.
Huo Yu opened his mouth in shock.
A dull and confused look on his face.
The director looked around and said in a very low voice: "So, for this mission, we cannot send any named archaeological experts to Indonesia. That will definitely attract unnecessary attention. We cannot even send professional divers In the past. Because after Nanhai No. 1, China’s long-established salvage team has long been famous. As soon as those people leave, there will be no silver in this place. After all, this matter has not attracted much attention. We occupy an absolute information advantage.
But we cannot remain indifferent, because according to records, the place where Zheng He threw the treasure was the place where the Nine-marked Dragon Treasure Box that the fisherman Wang Jin presented to Zhu Di was lost. Once more Western treasure hunters go there, chances are things will be found. "
The director took a deep breath and said: "So far, China does not have any real cultural relics about Zheng He's voyages to the West. The value of the three treasures inside is immeasurable. It can be said that they are not even the national treasures among the national treasures. That’s too much. These things must never fall into the hands of Westerners again.”
After listening to the director's words, Song Wenbin put down his kuaizi and stared blankly at the busy traffic outside the noodle stall. Pedestrians were talking, a canteen owner was holding a fan to drive away flies, and an errand boy was collecting leftover soy milk glass bottles. A peaceful and everyday atmosphere. But in such an everyday scene, Song Wenbin felt a huge extraordinary existence.
In the last episode of the first season, it was almost unimaginable that they actually went to Indonesia to hunt for treasure, a treasure from six hundred years ago.
His psychological understanding of this program has always been that it is an entertainment show, and the meaning of his existence is just to make people laugh and let the audience watch him suffer. But now the task requirements are undoubtedly as incredible as asking Chaplin to put on a suit and run for President of the United States.
"Director, can we..."
Huo Yu covered his face and said: "The three of us have no archaeological experience at all. It's embarrassing for you to ask us to make a treasure hunting movie. Going to Indonesia to hunt for treasures is still such an important treasure... Oh my god... What happened? I can’t stop...”
Pauly said: "I see, didn't you have a lot of fun abroad a few times before? Those tasks that seem extremely difficult to us don't seem to be that difficult for you."
"That's not difficult?"
Song Wenbin gritted his teeth and said that he regretted it so much. It was fun to pretend to be cool in Siberia for a while, but then came a super difficult challenge comparable to finding a needle in a haystack.
"It was actually difficult for the country to decide who to let go for this project. But after the Nigeria episode was filmed, Ambassador Cui contacted me and asked you by name to complete this task."
It was okay if the director didn't say it, but once Song Wenbin said it, he immediately felt even more pressure. He is really a fun-loving person on the Internet...
"Don't worry, have you forgotten the definition of our show?"
Seeing that the two of them were still worried, the director said: "Not only are you there this time, but you can also decide the strategy at will. You also have endless Chinese products to choose from. No matter what strategy you choose, the country and the company will Give you the most professional support.”
Suddenly feeling thirsty, Song Wenbin drank all the Coke from Dudu's Bar. He put down the Coke bottle and said: "As the old saying goes, if you don't have diamonds, you won't do porcelain work. After visiting so many countries, it doesn't matter if I go to another one." . But I only care about one thing, how much the bonus is. If you want to give me a banner and make me risk my life, I refuse."
The director smiled bitterly, "You guy..."
He sighed and said, "Although the country didn't say anything about this, Seal said that as long as you successfully complete the mission, the three of you will receive a reward of 1 million yuan as a team."
Song Wenbin smiled: "This is so true..."
"and..."
The director raised his second finger: "Unlike other tasks, this task is funded by the state. I hope you must find the Nine-Patterned Dragon Treasure Box. Therefore, there is no upper limit on funding for this challenge. You have unlimited funds to carry out your mission." Strategy."
Song Wenbin's eyes widened for a moment and his breathing trembled.
"but."
The director added: "If one of the three of you can complete this challenge with the most economical strategy, the most economical person will receive an additional reward of 1 million yuan."
Song Wenbin couldn't sit still anymore.
A million alone!
If he could get his first million, he would be far behind most of his peers. For 1 million, let alone Indonesia, you can go to Mars.
He stood up immediately, his mind was spinning wildly, and he wanted to fly to Indonesia immediately.
But the director pulled the excited Song Wenbin and asked him to sit down again and said: "Although you have filmed many programs before, compared with this mission, those are just small things. This is a big deal." , I don’t want any of you to be recognized by Indonesian officials, so here, as a director, I would like to make some personal requests.”
All three of them pricked up their ears.
"Ahem."
The director coughed and said, "I hope you can disguise your identity and sneak into Indonesia with a different identity. This identity must not only cover up your treasure hunting purpose, but also give our program team some room for filming."
After listening to the director's request, Song Wenbin fell into deep thought.
If you want to hunt for treasure in the sea and have to pull a bunch of people, you obviously need a boat. And if there is a ship. Then the identity he needs to disguise will be revealed.
