Soon, the elevator opened and they arrived at the warehouse on the lowest floor of the ship.
After coming over, I happened to see four or five Buddha statues as tall as a person, packed on a small cart-like thing, and transported to the warehouse.
After Chen Wenzhe looked at it for a while, he knew how it was transported. There were tracks underneath.
These transport flatbed trucks are all electric. As long as you put things on the flatbed, they can be transported to anywhere very easily.
As for entering the warehouse, there are many forklifts inside.
Needless to say, some small forklifts must have entered that treasure cave.
The channel leading to the port has finally been opened, otherwise, these Buddha statues would not be transported in so easily.
"How's the speed?" Chen Wenzhe didn't want to delay it for too long. It would be best to complete the transportation tonight.
"The mechanized operation is very fast. The most troublesome thing is these Buddha statues. Let's count them. There are thousands of them, large and small!"
Chen Wenzhe really didn't expect that there were thousands of Buddha statues hidden in that passage.
You know, the most inferior ones there are bronze and wooden statues, usually precious gold and silver statues, and then there are jade statues!
"Boss, you would never have imagined that when we opened the passage to the Buddha statues, we accidentally discovered several treasure chests buried at the entrance of the passage."
Soon, Gao Qijing led Chen Wenzhe to some wooden boxes.
The wooden box was new, but the jade and jewelry inside were dirty.
Then I picked one up, and it turned out to be a crystal hook.
At first glance, it is the style of the Western Han Dynasty, and the Western Han Dynasty was the heyday of the development of belt hooks.
However, crystal hooks are very rare, and the most common ones are bronze, gold, jade and other textures.
The production of jade belt hooks in the Western Han Dynasty was further innovated on the basis of inheriting the types and techniques of the Warring States Period.
This crystal belt hook unearthed from a Han tomb has a simple shape, consistent with the style of jade belt hooks from the Western Han Dynasty.
The chemical composition of crystal is silica and its hardness is very high. It was a precious item in ancient times. Wearing crystal products was also a symbol of class status.
Crystal belt hooks from the Western Han Dynasty are extremely rare and have only been unearthed in high-level tombs such as the Tomb of King Zhongshan in Mancheng. Therefore, this crystal belt hook is even more precious.
The crystal belt hook in Chen Wenzhe's hand is 5.8 centimeters in length and 2.2 centimeters in height. Although it is small, its processing technology is very extraordinary.
You must know that the processing technology of crystal was very difficult in ancient times, especially in ancient times of two thousand years ago. Because the tools were not good, processing was even more difficult.
Often this kind of crystal products are made by carving and polishing slowly over a long period of time using water milling techniques.
Pick it up and wipe it carefully a few times, and the exquisite and translucent feeling will appear.
After just a few glances, Chen Wenzhe put it down because there are so many good things here.
Crystals and jade are all small items, so there are too many things in the big box in front of you.
It can be said that the cultural relics here are dazzling, especially the cultural relics of the Han Dynasty. They are so many and good that Chen Wenzhe is feasting his eyes.
Picking up a jade ring casually, the shape is simple and must be the craftsmanship of the Western Han Dynasty.
This jade ring is smooth and flawless, and must be mutton-fat white jade.
Then I picked up a Han jade leopard. It was very naive and had a collar around its neck, making it look like a tame leopard.
There is also an exquisite jade dragon whose shape and workmanship can be called a rare treasure.
The naive jade leopard - the crystal belt hook - the flawless jade ring - the exquisite jade dragon, each of these things is a treasure.
Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but patted his head. He actually forgot about the jade.
Those people dug so many big tombs, how could there be no jade objects?
At that time, he was really looking for bronze wares and gold-studded jade clothes, but he actually forgot the jade wares. This shouldn't be the case!
Except for a few crystal products in this box, everything else is made of jade. The most special thing inside is the belt hook.
This thing is thought to be a common piece of equipment in ancient times, and is found in almost every Han tomb.
It’s just that the funerary objects in the Chu King’s Han Tomb are naturally extraordinary.
For example, a cow-headed jade belt hook is "split" and has copper pins at the connection part. The special feature of this jade belt hook is the double buttons below.
Others include the jade belt hook with a human face pattern, which is also quite special. When you pick it up, you can see the beautifully carved human face on it.
This thing looks a bit weird, but the carving is really exquisite.
I flipped through it casually and found that most of them were jade articles, such as jade pendants, jade belts, jade bis, jade congs, jade rings, etc.
Put down a piece of jade in your hand. There are many such things. If you look at them too much, you will get aesthetic fatigue.
One, two, three, a total of nine big boxes.
These boxes are all one meter long, wide and high, that is, each box is a cube.
Such a big box is very heavy with everything packed inside.
That cave only needs a forklift, otherwise, there really would be no way to get such a big box to move.
This time many people came over, and various vehicles came to help. One night, Chen Wenzhe found that most of the warehouse in the cabin was full.
"How many more things are there?"
Chen Wenzhe continued to help count the items until the sky turned dark.
"There are not many things left. The previous gold and gold vessels have been transported long ago. Some small bronze vessels were also transported before. The most important ones now are the large bronze vessels and those Buddha statues."
"Where's the big Buddha?" Speaking of the Buddha statue, Chen Wenzhe immediately thought of the largest Buddha statue blocking the door. He didn't seem to see it!
"The Buddha statue is too big to be transported into the warehouse, so it can only be placed in the freezer cabin in front. Anyway, it is not afraid of freezing." Gao Qijing said.
"Just hide it. By the way, if an outsider gets on the boat tomorrow, will the problem be discovered from above the draft of the fishing boat?"
Even if Chen Wenzhe doesn't know much about ships, he knows that when the load is full, the draft must be different.
"It should be no problem. I made a rough estimate and found that the heaviest amount of this batch of treasures will not exceed two hundred tons, and our fishing boat actually carries more than six hundred tons. This amount of storage is nothing at all, and most people won't.
Notice it, even if you notice it, we have something to say, this time we come here, we have brought a lot of goods!"
With that said, Gao Qijing led Chen Wenzhe to another cabin, where more cardboard boxes were piled up.
Chen Wenzhe was a little surprised to see so much cargo. When he was supplying the fishing boat, although he knew that a lot of things were loaded, he really didn't know that so much was packed.
"Are these things free?" Chen Wenzhe remembered that he really didn't pay much at that time.
"Don't tell me, you really don't need money!"
After Gao Qijing explained it, Chen Wenzhe understood that it was not that he bought things for free, but that people sold things without cost.
These are parallel imports seized by the base during the operation.
Since Chen Wenzhe needed it, the base saved some trouble and sold it to him directly.
