The next day, it was Li Mo who opened the box again. Firstly, he was energetic, and secondly, his preliminary appraisal ability was strong, which could greatly speed up the process of organizing Xiang Yu's treasures.
There are four new faces today, one of whom is Huang Zhi. Their main job is to assist the assistants with simple auxiliary work, so that the workload of the older expert professors can be reduced.
There are more than thirty iron boxes, both large and small. Judging from the boxes opened yesterday, the smaller the iron boxes, the more valuable the treasures may be.
One of the largest iron boxes was opened yesterday, and it contained armor. Currently, there are twenty large boxes among the remaining iron boxes.
"Today we will clean up the large iron box first. Armor and weapons may be stored in it. Everyone will wear anti-cut gloves when sorting it out later to avoid accidental bruises."
Li Mo put on a pair of gloves himself first. In addition to teacher Zheng Bin who continued to record data, Huang Zhi also stayed with him to help.
The large iron box was opened first. Five boxes in a row were filled with armor. The sixth iron box contained long swords. The forging process of these swords and armors was different from those worn by the stone figures. There was no anti-rust process on the surface. It has been covered with rust for two thousand years and has become severely corroded.
"Everyone, be careful. These weapons and armor are badly rusted and have sharp edges."
"Xiao Mo, looking at the corrosion and rust of these weapons and armor, there is no need to pay attention to them. Let's open all the remaining large iron boxes in one go. If they are all weapons, the degree of damage is about the same, so there is no need to waste time. I arranged for people to handle them separately to save space in the underground treasure house."
Shi Ziming said this, he must have encountered similar situations before.
"Okay, then I'll keep driving."
Just as they guessed, the large iron box was filled with weapons and armor, which had decayed and lost the significance of research.
There was a sigh in the underground treasure house, and there were also sighs in the conference room watching the live broadcast above. Xiang Yu's treasure was the most essential part of the Qin Empire's wealth, but as a result, most of the iron boxes contained waste.
Li Mo and the others went up to rest temporarily, while Shi Ziming arranged for people to move out the iron boxes one by one and temporarily put them in the preparation warehouse.
"Huang Zhi, if you come here to do things, won't you teach lessons?"
Li Mo handed a bottle of water to this classmate who had a good impression.
"You see you are so busy that you have forgotten the time. Today and tomorrow are weekends off, otherwise the school would not arrange for new people to come and help."
"I really forgot about this." Li Mo was a little depressed. The weather outside was so nice and the air was no longer hot. It was a good time to go out and play.
"Li Mo, how long will you be busy here?"
"The work of sorting out the treasures of Xiang Yu, Overlord of Western Chu, is not that fast. It is now being classified and numbered, and the specific identification process has not officially begun. I guess I may not have time to attend future courses. We will talk about this in a few days."
"The Peking University Autumn Sports Festival will start at the end of the month, and the registration process has now started, so I asked you if you have time? There are twenty-one people in our class, and there are only seven boys, and none of them are good at sports, so our class's sports meet The results are worrisome."
Huang Zhi has organizational skills, and the counselor has arranged for him to be responsible for this matter, while the squad leader Han Li is responsible for logistical support.
Li Mo thought about it and realized that he really couldn't stay out of this matter. After all, it involved collective honor. The archaeological research work can't be completed in a month or two, no matter how many days it takes.
"Huang Zhi, I usually exercise a lot and I have some strength. You can look back at the autumn sports meeting schedule, such as running and so on. As long as there is no conflict in time, sign up for me for all those events."
Look at their structure, being so busy and actively participating in school sports activities, I don’t know how many times better than the few boys in the class.
"Okay, I'll send you the sports meeting schedule tonight. The registration deadline is the day after tomorrow, so there's still enough time."
Everyone rested for half an hour and continued to enter the treasure house. The person following Li Mo down this time was an expert from the Kyoto Museum.
"Everyone, there are currently eight iron boxes left. They are small in size. They are probably filled with small things, so be careful."
Li Mo explained, picked up the press shears and cut off the rusty lock of the first box. After opening it, he saw yellow and orange gold nuggets, neatly placed, each gold nugget was 20 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide.
In the middle of the gold nugget is a bold and bold seal character 'xiang', which is formed from the same mold.
"I said that Xiang Yu would not just bury some gold jewelry and other accessories. This gold is his treasure."
Li Mo grinned. These gold nuggets were neatly placed in front of him. They were full of golden light under the light, which was quite shocking.
"Start counting Xiang's gold nuggets."
Large bricks of gold were taken out one after another, each numbered, and then stacked on the table of the booth.
"Teacher Zheng, there are 36 gold nuggets in this box. Are they all registered?"
"Registration completed."
"Then let's continue unpacking."
This time, five boxes were opened in succession, all of which were melted and recast gold nuggets. Some people who observe it at close range feel a little numb after seeing it too much, suffering from visual fatigue.
Li Mo straightened up and twisted a few times and said: "I originally thought that it would take four or five days just to open the boxes, but now it seems that it can be done in two days. There are only two boxes left, which are relatively small in size and are most likely to be jade or the like. .”
"If everyone is in good condition, then I will finish them all in one go, so that everyone can go back and rest early."
"No problem, Xiao Mo, you can continue."
"The first six boxes are all gold nuggets, so we just put some effort into moving them, just to stretch our muscles."
Zheng Bin also said: "I'm afraid it's the easiest for me. I can just record the data?"
"Then let's get started." Li Mo opened the seventh iron box. As expected, there were different wooden boxes containing various styles of jade. From the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, to the Qin Empire, a total of nineteen pieces were taken out.
"Xiao Mo, the materials used in these jades are all of good quality, and five of them have a clear color." An expert took a closer look, especially those with a clear color. "The styles are better than those displayed in our museum."
"These were probably used by real nobles."
Li Mo smiled and said: "No matter who used it, it belongs to me now. I will open the last one, sort it out and go home for dinner."
Li Mo originally thought that the last iron box contained jade or something like that, but when he opened the lid, he found that there was only a huge wooden box inside. What was going on?
He continued to open the lid of the wooden box. There was another wooden box inside, which was a box within a box. There were a lot of soft things stuffed between the two wooden boxes, which felt a bit like cloth.
"Xiao Mo, there may be a great treasure hidden in this iron box, otherwise why would you be so careful?"
An expert squatted next to him and whispered.
Li Mo opened the second wooden box again, and sure enough, there was another wooden box inside. Moreover, the material of the third wooden box had changed, and a faint scent of sandalwood could be smelled.
"This is rosewood."
Even Li Mo believed that the last iron box contained a great treasure.
Because the surface of this rosewood is carved with cloud and dragon patterns, which represents nobility, it can only be used by the royal family.
Li Mo slowly moved the rosewood box to the square table. He observed that there was no lock and it fit tightly. It used a wooden falcon machine lock.
