Chapter 503: A masterpiece that has come to light again after 456 years (Part 1) (Note: There will be no hits)
"..."
on the ground.
Looking at the newly unearthed copper temple in front of me.
Xu Yun couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Follow Halo's original instructions.
After the "Yongle Dian" appears in this world, it will activate the effect of [Original Purification].
That is, national cohesion is 10, legality is 10, social violence is -5, and evil behavior is -5.
Compared with P Club games, it only lacks Sociology 10.
However, Xu Yun originally thought that the so-called "present world" meant digging the "Yongle Dadian" out of the ground, but now it seems that it is not that simple.
Think about it too.
Emperor Jiajing died in 1567, which meant that the "Yongle Dadian" was buried underground for a full 456 years.
Although there is no accumulation of water in the Bronze Palace, the condition of this work is certainly not in such good condition that it can be directly opened and exposed to the air.
In other words...
If there is improper operation during the opening process, it is likely to be damaged.
Once there are flaws in the "Yongle Dadian", the so-called modern world will naturally be out of the question.
Think of this.
Xu Yun gradually calmed down.
Anyway, at this point, there is no need to rush.
Then he walked to the edge of the area where the Copper Palace was located, glanced at Weng Tong and Tong Huaijun who were checking the air tightness problem, and asked Jiang Chenggu:
"Director Jiang, now that the Copper Palace has been unearthed, I wonder when the authorities will start unsealing it?"
Jiang Chenggu glanced at him and announced a time:
"Just today."
Xu Yun:
"????"
Oh my god?!
What did I hear?
today??
Isn't this too fast?
Seeing that Xu Yun's expression was a little confused, Jiang Chenggu glanced at the camera beside him and explained:
"Xiao Xu, you should know that the entire Internet is paying great attention to the excavation of Yongling Tomb."
"Today's audience is so large that it can even be compared with the press conference where HKUST helped you clear your name."
"Especially after the Copper Palace was excavated, the total number of people in the live broadcast room reached the peak since the live broadcast."
Xu Yun nodded after hearing this.
He does know this.
The entire Yongling project was broadcast live from the day of construction, which lasted for more than 20 days.
before today.
The actual number of viewers in the live broadcast room is not very large. Except for the first day, the total number of viewers on Bilibili, Douyin, Toutiao and other platforms is around 1 million to 2 million.
There are only a few hundred thousand people at midnight at the least, and only about 4 million at the busiest time.
This is much lower than when Huoshenshan claimed to have 50 million viewers on the entire network, but actually had 7 million viewers - after all, Huoshenshan had a rather special social background at the time.
But after the excavation started today.
The number of people in the live broadcast room quickly began to increase.
With the support of the weekend period, the total number of viewers on all major platforms on the entire network has exceeded 15 million.
This value was greatly improved during the excavation stage of the Copper Palace. After all, society did not know the existence of the Bronze Palace before this.
For most passers-by.
They only heard that based on the earlier 'remote sensing technology' detection results, there were traces of a large object under the apse of Yongling.
But as for what this thing is, no one knows anything.
Some people guessed it was a big box.
Some people also guessed that it was a huge coffin.
Some people even think that this is the Ark of the Covenant in the Western Bible...
Now, as the excavation deepens, everyone knows better that this is a copper temple.
Then here comes the problem.
What might be in this copper palace?
no doubt.
Most viewers will think of the word "Yongle Dadian" - in fact, after the "remote sensing technology" test results were released, speculation about "Yongle Dadian" on the Internet has remained at a high level.
Ever since.
In just ten minutes.
The popularity of "Yongle Dadian" quickly reached the second place in the hot search list, second only to the topic #微博夜seat#.
Then Jiang Chenggu paused, moved his chin quietly toward the media area where several foreign media were located, and continued:
"Social attention is high, and foreign media are also present. Everyone is staring at us."
"If we open the Bronze Palace another day, public opinion will come second. If we don't protect everything, the foreign media will label it as cheating."
"So in order not to give those villains a chance to slander, the back hall doesn't matter, but the copper hall must be opened today - and the entire process must be broadcast live."
Xu Yun was stunned again.
But soon.
He then understood what Jiang Chenggu was thinking.
indeed.
"Yongle Dadian" involves too many things, and its excavation will have a huge impact on the entire East Asian civilization.
Especially now that Neon and Bangzi have just settled their grudges, the pressure on the rabbits from the surrounding situation is honestly quite heavy.
If a "Yongle Dadian" could be unearthed at this time, it would probably be difficult for some people around the world to make plans.
So there is no doubt about it.
They...or the will behind them will definitely not sit still and wait for death.
to some extent.
Today's excavation work is somewhat similar to the previous press conference of the Academy of Sciences. It must be done to make the other party indefensible.
Other than that.
The Bronze Hall is also completely different from the Back Hall in terms of difficulty in opening.
There are relatively complex cultural relics such as elixirs and imperial crowns in the apse. At the same time, the corpses of Jiajing and others in the coffins must have long been decayed. It is obviously not suitable for live broadcasts - this thing will really scare people to death.
But the Bronze Palace is different.
There are neither decaying corpses nor cultural relics that require different methods to be maintained in the Copper Palace. It is relatively easier to open.
In fact, what Xu Yun doesn't know is.
In the past twenty days or so, Jiang Chenggu and the others have been preparing for this matter in order to ensure that there are no defensible loopholes in today's excavation.
Another half hour passed.
Weng Tong came over with Tong Huaijun.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a short period of high-intensity work, both of them were sweating, and even their hair was stuck to their foreheads:
"Director Jiang, the inspection of the Copper Palace has been completed. First of all, there is no problem with the air tightness. In addition..."
With that said, Weng Tong handed another report to Jiang Chenggu:
"According to the detection of the scanning equipment, there are many deep orange shadows inside the Copper Palace."
Jiang Chenggu took the report and looked at it for a few times, handed it to his assistant and ordered:
"Xiao Li, please make a copy of the report and send it to the media area."
Xiao Li straightened up:
"clear!"
Those who worked as x-ray machines in their previous lives should all know this.
All items that pass through the X-ray machine will have images displayed on the computer, which show the outline and color of the object.
The essence of these colors is actually a reflection of the density, quality and quantity of objects.
Therefore, during inspection, the quality of the object can be evaluated based on the depth of the image color.
General soaps, soaps, explosives, drugs, woodware, leather products, etc. are orange.
A piece of clothing, thin plastic, and a few pieces of paper show light yellow.
As for the deep orange color...
Usually large bundles of Chinese coins, highly concentrated liquids or...
Lots of books.
Although the gravity gradiometer has already scanned the interior of the Copper Palace once, there is still a difference between that form of scanning and physical scanning.
In addition, this test result is also a shot in the arm for the media and the public. In a sense, it can still heat up the topic.
So soon.
Reporters from all major media areas got a copy of the scan report.
It's a coincidence.
The reporter from CCTV who came to live broadcast today happened to be He Huai, who interviewed Meng Liang and his son some time ago.
"There are actually books in the Copper Palace..."
At this time, He Huai was sitting in the rest area, holding a somewhat warm copy in his hand, chatting wordlessly with the photographer Lao Zhou:
"Old Zhou, are we really going to witness history today?"
The photographer, Lao Zhou, is a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap. He looks to be in his forties. He wears a pair of Tyrannosaurus sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. He looks like a great director.
Since the live broadcast footage was provided by the excavation committee, Lao Zhou had a very leisurely day at work.
I saw him picking up a small stone and shaking it a few times in his hand, crossing his legs and saying:
"I think it probably didn't run away. If it wasn't to encapsulate the "Yongle Dadian", how could Jiajing put another copper palace below?"
"Tsk, tsk, I heard that today's matter has attracted a lot of attention on the Internet. I heard that it has already topped the list of hot searches in Little Blue Bird Thailand."
He Huai nodded and gently poked the side with his index finger:
"It's not just Thailand? No, have you seen those people over there?"
Lao Zhou took advantage of the situation and took a look.
In another rest area about ten meters away from them, there were more than ten men and women standing with solemn expressions.
Strange to say.
The other person obviously has yellow skin, and from a distance, he doesn't look much different from a Chinese person.
But a judgment suddenly appeared in Lao Zhou's mind:
"Xiao He, are those sticks and neon people?"
He Huai nodded calmly, and then glanced at the table in that direction:
"Well, also, did you see those black boxes on their table?"
Lao Zhou nodded:
"I saw it. Why, is there a nuclear bomb inside?"
"Nuclear bombs? They also have to have nuclear bombs. The United States originally sent two neon bombs, but they didn't catch them."
He Huai curled his lips and whispered:
"It is said that there are existing copies of the "Yongle Dadian" inside. There are about twenty copies - this was discovered during the entrance inspection."
"Bangzi and Guizi probably planned to ask for verification of the content as soon as possible after the "Yongle Dadian" was dug up to prevent us from fabricating it."
"To put it bluntly, they don't trust us. They think we are going to cheat just like them, and they only want to cause trouble for us."
When Lao Zhou heard this, he was startled. After coming back to his senses, he spat fiercely on the ground:
"Damn, these grandchildren!"
He Huai shrugged at him again, looking very calm:
"There is no other way. These grandsons don't want to be grandsons, so they can only be grandsons once."
Mentioned before.
There are two versions of "Yongle Dadian" in history.
One is the original "Yongle Dadian" completed by Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, in the seventh year of Yongle's reign, also called the Yongle manuscript.
The other is a re-recorded copy during the Jiajing period, generally called the Jiajing copy or Jiajing manuscript.
The two versions are exactly the same in terms of content, size, format, font, etc., and there is no difference.
Yongle Zhengben was missing before today, and there are different opinions on his whereabouts.
The Jiajing copy was stolen by many ministers in the Qing Dynasty, and was later plundered by foreign powers.
There are about 400 copies left in the world today, less than 4% of the original book.
Among the 400 existing volumes of "Yongle Dadian"...that is, the Jiajing copy.
The National Library of China has a total of 224 volumes, the Library of Congress across the sea has 40 volumes, John Bull has 51 volumes, and Germany has 5 volumes.
The rest are basically on the neon and stick side.
However, the number of copies of Jiajing collected by Neon and Bangzi is unknown. We can only guess that it is between 10-20 copies.
The result was unexpected...
Today, in order to 'falsely prove' that the original copy of "Yongle Dadian" does not exist in Yongling, both Bangzi and Nihong brought their respective Jiajing copies to the scene.
In fact, it’s normal to think about it.
After all, the original version of "Yongle Dadian" contains only Chinese medicine works such as "Su Chen's Recipe", "Bo Ji's Recipe", "Treatment of Febrile Diseases", etc. If you take any one of them, "Donguibojian" can kill the stick instantly.
More importantly.
Mentioned it a long time ago.
Nowadays, the reason why we are unable to win many heritage-listed projects is not because we gave up voluntarily if we did not apply.
It’s because we can’t produce physical evidence that is equivalent to the project being applied for World Heritage—note, this refers to the original.
Still taking "Donguibogam" as an example.
Donguibogam was written in 1610 and is the most complete medical original preserved to this day.
What about Chinese medicine?
The original book of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" has been lost. Although the articles are still there, there are still many disputes over the details.
For example, the current "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" has lost the part that records febrile diseases, resulting in the current division of traditional Chinese medicine into two major schools: febrile diseases and febrile diseases.
The two schools have been quarreling for hundreds of years, and they were still at odds even during the previous epidemic.
There are many situations similar to "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", that is, ancient books have status, but have lost their originality.
But once "Yongle Dadian" comes out.
Even if these ancient books are not original, they are Yongle editions - "Yongle Dadian" was written in 1408 AD, a full two hundred years earlier than "Donguibojian".
This is still just a small field, so do you think the sticks and the devils can take it easy?
After a while.
He Huai's assistant Miao Jing ran over from a distance and said as he ran:
"Brother He, Brother Zhou, everyone, please prepare quickly. The Copper Palace will be moved soon."
He Huai was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After coming to his senses, he quickly slapped the copy paper in his hand onto the table:
"Come on, Lao Zhou, come to life!"
Lao Zhou moved a little faster than him. Without saying a word, he ran to the interview car with the camera on his shoulder.
During the previous live broadcast.
Considering that there is extensive construction on site, the live broadcast signals of all major media are provided by the excavation committee, and the camera only has a bird's-eye view of the entire scene.
During the live broadcast, He Huai could only take turns with another female reporter, and intermittently introduced the progress of the construction.
As for Lao Zhou, he was even more free.
I was sitting alone in the rest area playing Landlords, and I was stunned that I went from playing 8 million beans to the daily guaranteed free beans.
Suddenly knowing that the Bronze Palace was about to be moved, everyone suddenly became excited.
"Viewers, everyone has been waiting for a long time."
I don’t know if all the hosts have special skills of changing their faces.
He Huai, who still had a salty look on his face in the rest area, immediately became elegant and gentlemanly in front of the camera:
"Now I have two pieces of news to share with you. One is that based on the detection of X-ray equipment, it can be confirmed that there are indeed a large number of manuscripts in the Copper Palace."
"However, whether these manuscripts are ordinary books or the "Yongle Dadian" that everyone is looking forward to requires deeper testing."
"The second news is..."
"We have just received notice from the excavation committee that the apse, which contains the Jiajing Emperor's coffin, will temporarily remain at the excavation site. As for the Bronze Hall..."
Talk about this.
He Huai paused and continued:
“Then it will be sent to the archaeological laboratory under the China Construction Engineering Archaeological Affairs Center for on-site ‘unpacking’!
"
He Huai just finished speaking.
A row of question marks flashed across the live broadcast room:
【?????】
It is not difficult to see from the row of question marks that the audience seemed unprepared for this time.
After all, for most viewers.
They watch the live broadcast mainly to join in the fun and don't think too much about in-depth issues.
So in the eyes of these passers-by.
The plan to unbox it now is indeed a bit unexpected.
.........
Then under the operation of the crane.
The Bronze Palace was quickly moved onto a special large transport vehicle.
More than ten minutes passed.
The transport truck slowly left the scene and headed towards the city.
Jiang Chenggu and others followed closely behind in the car, followed closely by mainstream media such as CCTV and Guangming.com.
Other than that.
There is also an unmanned aerial camera accompanying the company in the sky, recording the entire transportation process from a high-altitude perspective.
Of course.
Under normal circumstances, large transport vehicles are not allowed to enter Yanjing city during the day, and drones cannot easily fly into the sky.
However, this excavation project is an excavation operation led by the supreme will, so these practices that are not allowed under ordinary circumstances have been temporarily given the green light this time.
Actually.
That’s not all the green light approved by the higher authorities.
For example, the routes for transport vehicles into urban areas have actually been optimized and even controlled to ensure that vehicles can pass normally.
Otherwise, given the traffic congestion in Yanjing on weekends and the size of the transport vehicle, it is estimated that it will not reach the destination in three days...
that's all.
With the cooperation of various departments.
The transport truck quickly drove to its destination.
Three hours later.
The transport truck successfully arrived at an open field located on the Fourth Ring Road of Yanjing.
Looking at it, this is a group of buildings that are not very high but cover an extremely large area.
The tallest building among them is only about four or five stories, but the horizontal span of the entire building complex exceeds one hundred meters - this does not include the width of the surrounding green plants.
The building complex uses dark bricks and stones as the main materials, and the rectangular stone slabs on the walls are regular and orderly.
Coupled with the many arched door openings and windows, it is easy to think of the long-term historical and cultural accumulation, showing a simple and elegant style.
At the same time, the roof is also decorated with black and white tiles. These tiles not only improve the durability of the building, but also add a classic beauty to it.
After getting off the car.
Lao Zhou’s camera quickly locked onto the sign at the entrance of the building:
[Chinese Construction Engineering Archaeological Affairs Center].
At this moment.
There was a group of people standing at the entrance of the affairs center. After seeing Jiang Chenggu and others, the leader, a Mediterranean man, quickly and enthusiastically greeted them.
I saw him shaking hands with Jiang Chenggu heavily, while his eyes kept glancing towards the Bronze Palace.
Another moment passed.
Several staff members brought the prepared unloading equipment to the transport truck and began to dismantle the copper temple.
Although there is no Zath crane to cooperate, the weight of the Copper Palace itself is actually not heavy - after all, it is hollow inside.
Therefore, under a pre-arranged plan.
The Tongdian was quickly unloaded onto a tractor-trailer.
During the entire process, Lao Zhou's camera was tightly locked on the main body of the Tongdian, not daring to move at all.
Then very quickly.
The tractor loading the Tongdian began to drive towards a certain warehouse.
In addition to a few staff members, there was also a group of dedicated 'third-party guests' who boarded the bus.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These "guests" all have sullen faces and gloomy eyes, as if some writer owes them twenty chapters of updates.
It is clear.
This group of people were even worried about the warehousing process, for fear that Jiang Chenggu and others would trade the prince with a civet cat.
Lao Zhou could only shrug and said that these people just want to be happy.
Then he and He Huai followed the large army and walked into a building next to the warehouse.
This building was only a low one-story high, but the internal area was very open. Jiang Chenggu and others walked around in circles before arriving at a laboratory.
The area of this laboratory is about three hundred square meters, and there is a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window near the aisle.
There are no walls or baffles on the upper and lower edges of the glass windows to block the view, so you can clearly see what's going on inside even if you lie down at your feet.
There are a lot of experimental equipment in the laboratory whose purpose is difficult to judge from the appearance. It looks completely different from the appearance of the building... or the science of archeology.
"First introduce yourself."
After several media cameras were in place, the middle-aged Mediterranean man who had shaken hands with Jiang Chenggu said:
"I, Jin Xiangqian, am currently the head of the China Construction Engineering Archaeological Affairs Center and a visiting professor at the Department of Archeology at Yenching University."
"The laboratory you see now is called the National Advanced Technology Archaeological Laboratory. It is a high-precision archaeological laboratory that combines technological archeology."
"Currently our laboratory is equipped with many professional instruments, such as 3r-msa600fs laboratory, ultra-sensitive linear array x-ray detector, etc..."
Jin introduced a lot of laboratory information to Xiangqian, which opened the eyes of He Huai and others.
In fact, what many people don’t understand is.
‘Archaeology of science and technology’ is not a combined term, but a realistic discipline.
This is currently a major with excellent prospects, which mainly uses modern technology to analyze ancient ruins and cultural relics.
For example, much of the ancient DNA research that was very popular in the past fell into the category of technological archeology.
Nowadays, many provincial archaeological institutes are recruiting relevant graduates, and universities are increasingly using technological archaeological techniques to conduct archaeological and cultural research, which has much greater potential than ordinary archeology.
Of course.
The premise of the above sentence is that you can graduate with a Ph.D., otherwise it will still be embarrassing.
As for the strongest major in scientific and technological archeology in China at present...
Naturally, it is the Department of History of Science and Technology and Archeology of Science and Technology at the University of Science and Technology of China.
Jin Xiangqian is a very talkative person, and he introduced a lot of rich content while the Tongdian was still being put into storage.
Even laymen such as Xu Yun who are not majoring in archeology listened with interest.
About half an hour passed.
Click——
The door at the other end of the laboratory opened.
Weng Tong, Tong Huaijun, several staff members, and several "third-party guests" walked in with the Tongdian.
Seeing this, Lao Zhou quickly changed a suitable angle and locked the focus tightly on the Bronze Palace.
Two minutes passed.
The copper palace was firmly placed in the center of the laboratory.
Immediately afterwards.
Weng Tong and others put on protective clothing one after another and carried oxygen bottles behind them.
After everything is ready.
Weng Tong gave a thumbs up toward the window.
See this situation.
Jin Qianqian couldn't help but take a deep breath and ordered:
"Operator, introduce nitrogen!"
...
Note:
I will finish writing the Yongle Dadian tomorrow and will open a copy the day after tomorrow.
I heard that readers can now correct and provide feedback. If you see typos, you can correct them and submit them.
