Chapter 1258 Archaeologist: Believe in the end of science
The story of a young man who only received 500 yuan as a reward for turning in an item was reported in the news.
When the young man was interviewed by reporters, he also said regretfully:
"It's too shabby. I will never do it again, not even with a knife on my neck..."
The reward of five hundred yuan hurt the young man's self-esteem because after he returned to the village, the villagers also laughed at him and said he was too stupid.
The incident was posted online, where it also aroused heated discussions.
Some netizens think that it is really shabby to hand over to you something that is obviously sold for 500,000 yuan for only 500 yuan.
The state should raise the price for recycling items to encourage everyone to hand in all the items they pick up, thus preventing items from falling into the hands of dealers.
However, some people believe that the value of an object does not lie in its economic value, but in its research value. Increasing rewards is actually equivalent to encouraging tomb robbers in disguise, because tomb robbers can dig up ancient tombs under the pretext of reclaiming land, and then use all the things they dig out.
It's not illegal to pick it up and then go to the state to exchange it for a large bonus.
When the time comes, the state will be unable to recycle it, and the people will be unable to protect it, and they will just condone the rampant black market transactions.
What's more, increasing rewards is only because the wool comes from the sheep. Aren't the money for the rewards all taxes paid by the people? And most of those taxes end up falling on criminals.
The current system, although the rewards are very small, does not make you rich overnight, but it is better than nothing.
But if you sell it secretly, it will be a felony if you are caught.
In this way, ordinary people have no motivation to dig around, and they don't dare to sell it to private individuals when they dig it up. This plays a certain role in property protection to a large extent.
Another point of view is: Why does what you dig up belong to you? Why does what you pick up belong to you?
Citizens only have the right to use the land, but not ownership. It cannot be proven that it is yours, then it belongs to the country.
Even if this thing was made by your ancestor, you are not the only descendant of your ancestor. With so many descendants, why does it have to be yours?
In the final analysis, that thing has just passed through your hands, and its final destination belongs to the people and the country, because the value of the thing itself relies on the country and the nation to exist.
Gu Mo also had to admit that no matter which side he stood on, his views actually made sense from his own standpoint.
The story of Zilu receiving the cow tells people that no one will give up his own interests to save others.
Moreover, things are different from people, and once a rewarding collection system is formed, it will be very dangerous.
At present, the principle of doing things in most organizations is to provide symbolic monetary rewards, as well as spiritual rewards such as banners.
If it is a treasure, when it is put on display in a museum, the name of the person who submitted it will be written on the object information column.
If you want to make the country's physical environment better and better, it will definitely not be done in a short time. You have to plan it slowly.
…
For many years after this, Gu Mo continued to engage in his archaeological career.
She has also invented many high technologies for archeology and object preservation as the current level of science and technology allows, which directly reduces the losses caused by the excavation of objects.
These technologies are even used around the world, and Gu Mo has also relied on his inventions and professionalism to become a big name in archeology.
One time when she was being interviewed by a reporter, the reporter asked her what she thought of the current tomb-robbing novels.
"Do you think the existence of tomb-robbery novels has guided young people to an incorrect set of values?"
Gu Mo said: "The protagonists in tomb robbing novels obtain financial success through free means such as tomb robbing. To a certain extent, the values conveyed are indeed misleading, but novels are novels and reality is reality. Most people will not read it because of it.
After reading a few crime suspense novels, I will actually commit crimes instead of reading a few love tragedies.
In novels, they all committed suicide because of their love. When they were caught drunk driving, they would not say that they had watched Brothers 4. In the same way, teenagers read tomb robbing novels out of curiosity. Few people decide to join in tomb robbing after reading tomb robbing novels.
There may be career reasons, but you can’t say that all such cases are caused by tomb-robbing novels.”
However, Gu Mo does not deny that there are some tomb robbing novels that do not expose tomb robbing as a crime, but rather praise their actions.
This kind of value does have a great impact on teenagers whose physical and mental health have not yet fully developed.
However, in recent years, as the country's publicity on physical education has continued to increase and the public's understanding of this aspect has deepened, this impact has gradually decreased.
At the same time, the efforts of the vast number of archaeologists have not been in vain. The archeology profession is no longer a misunderstood and unpopular profession. More and more young people have the courage to devote themselves to the cause of archaeology. This has made the history of China more and more full and the nation
The background is getting deeper and deeper.
When Gu Mo was about to leave this plane, the institute used her high-tech archaeological research to unearth a seismograph from the Han Dynasty.
There are only a few sentences in history books about the records of seismographs.
"When a dragon's machine appeared but the ground did not move, the scholars in the capital were surprised that it was not there. A few days later, the post arrived, and the earthquake occurred in Longxi, so they all admired its wonderfulness."
"Made of fine copper, with a ruler and a bulging cover, shaped like a wine statue, decorated with the shapes of seal mountains, turtles, birds and beasts. There are capital pillars beside the road, which serve as gates and hairpins. There is a dragon outside, holding a copper pill at the head and a
Toad, open your mouth to accept it. Its teeth are cleverly made,
They are all hidden in the statue, and the cover is boundless. If there is an earthquake, the statue will vibrate the dragon machine and spit out pills, and the toad will pick them up. The vibrating sound will be loud, and the waiters will be aware of it. Even though one dragon spits out the machine, but the seven heads do not move,
If you look for its aspect, you will know where the earthquake is."
This is the first instrument in human history that can measure and sense earthquakes, more than 1,700 years earlier than in Europe.
Chinese people are all familiar with this instrument because they have seen it in textbooks since they were children.
However, the well-known seismometer in the textbook is actually a fake. It was copied by historian Wang Zhenduo based on the records of the Later Han Dynasty, and it used the "upright rod principle".
However, this seismograph was later rejected by many experts and scholars, believing that its principle was not tenable at all, which raised questions about the existence and usefulness of the seismograph itself.
Now, the original seismograph from two thousand years ago has been unearthed. What exactly it works on and whether it is useful for earthquake prediction can finally reveal this unsolved mystery.
When she left the plane, Li Kangzai was still squatting in the prison of China.
As for Xie Nannan, Gu Mo never saw her again after that, but Gu Mo knew that she must be alive.
The curse on her will only make her suffer, but it will not kill her.
Gu Mo didn't care whether she was married or had been waiting for Li Kangzai to be released from prison.
