After more than half an hour, the things just dug out were finally cleaned up.
The items dug out this time were metal products. After cleaning, they looked rusty and had lost their original luster.
Something was dug out. Wang Xiaoshan quickly moved away from the group of people surrounding him. After chatting for a while, his head hurt. It was unwise to chat in the reservoir under the bright sun.
Wang Xiaoshan walked over and took the camera to let the audience in the live broadcast room take a look at the treasure dug out this time.
"Dear viewers, this is the treasure just now, now it has been cleaned up!"
[What is this thing? It’s rusty. It looks a bit like a cannon barrel, but it’s not as thick as a cannon barrel. Is it a hand cannon? 】
[It looks like I’ve seen it before, but I really can’t remember where I’ve seen it. It’s probably on a TV series!]
[If I guess correctly, this should be the earliest shooting metal thermal weapon in ancient my country. I can’t remember the previous name. Now these things are collectively called guns.]
[A musket? It doesn’t look like this. The muskets in the TV series are roughly the same length as modern guns!]
[I can’t believe it in the TV series. I can only watch it. The gun at the beginning should have been different from the modern gun, and then it gradually evolved into what it is now.]
Many viewers were a little confused when they saw this treasure. Wang Xiaoshan said it was a good thing, but the rusty ones on it really couldn't tell what was good about it.
Audiences who are somewhat interested in the military have already figured out what this treasure is, but many viewers still don't know what it is.
Most of the audience's understanding of ancient things comes from costume dramas. In costume dramas, there are too many fake ones and too few real ones.
What Wang Xiaoshan showed the audience this time was indeed an ancient firearm. In ancient times, this kind of thermal weapon was not called a gun. It had another name.
"Dear audience friends, let me tell you first that what I dug out this time is an ancient thermal weapon."
"This thing was called a fire gun or fire tube in ancient times. It is the world's earliest metal shooting firearm."
"In modern terms, this is an ancient gun!"
"Since the emergence of fire guns in ancient times, the way of fighting has changed, and cold weapons have begun to be slowly replaced."
In fact, there were such firearms in many periods in ancient times. In the beginning, the barrels were made of bamboo, and stones and broken iron were used as bullets.
Later, metal barrels were gradually used, which made these firearms more durable and more lethal.
The barrel of the fire gun was already made of metal. In the early days, it was made of copper, so it was also called a copper fire gun. Later, it was made of steel and was called an iron fire gun. Later, people collectively called it fire gun.
In ancient times, the most famous one for using firearms was the Shenji Battalion. At that time, this unit was composed of pure firearms. It can be said to be the first special arms unit in the history of the world.
[After listening to Lao Wang’s explanation, I finally knew what this was. My feelings had been deceived by costume dramas before!]
[Isn’t it true? The costume TV series I watched all used guns that were similar to modern weapons in battles. There was no such thing as what Lao Wang asked us to watch this time. 】
[No wonder Lao Wang said that what we are shown this time is a good thing. Guns are good things in ancient times and modern times, and are weapons of self-defense.]
[I really didn’t realize that this little thing is so destructive. Ancient people were really smart and could think of anything!]
[Firearms are still very lethal, and there is no way those cold weapons can compare with firearms!]
After listening to the explanation, the audience all knew what this was. In fact, these things are also found in some museums, but the audience did not look carefully.
But guns are indeed a good thing and played a vital role in ancient wars.
As time discovers and changes, cold weapons will surely slowly withdraw from the stage of history.
This time Wang Xiaoshan did not tell the audience much. There are many ancient guns that the audience has never seen. Modern guns are everywhere in movies and TV series.
If any viewers are interested, they can just check it out online.
This time it was discovered that there was only one firecracker in the pit, and no corresponding bullets were found.
There are several pits that can be dug nearby, but they haven't been dug yet. Wang Xiaoshan doesn't know if there are firecrackers underneath, so he can only dig them out and take a look.
Wang Xiaoshan only showed the audience the appearance of the fire gun. The mud inside the mouth of the fire gun had not been cleaned yet, so the audience could only look at the mouth of the fire gun with mud.
"Okay, I'll dig out one treasure for the time being in the morning, and the rest can only be shown to everyone in the afternoon."
[The morning went by so fast. I just watched a firecracker and it was time to have lunch. Is it because I have a holiday tomorrow? Today passed very fast! 】
[Old Wang, you have only dug a small hole. If you go digging for a while, you might be able to dig out the treasure at noon! 】
[Let’s go and have a look at other pits. Maybe treasures have been dug out in other pits now. Lao Wang should go for a walk before eating so that he can eat more! 】
[Can the treasures dug out in the afternoon be spread out more in the morning? If you dig out one in the morning and a bunch in the afternoon, you can’t even see it!]
[It’s a good time to fish when you first go to work. When you’re about to work overtime, you have to hurry up and catch up on work. But Lao Wang always digs out things in the afternoon. Now I work in the morning and fish in the afternoon. I’m so used to it! 】
When the audience heard what Wang Xiaoshan said, they wanted him to take them to other pits to see. Just now, the camera was always on the fire gun.
The audience felt that when they were cleaning the firecrackers, treasures should have been dug out of other pits, but Wang Xiaoshan didn't know it until he went there.
It's already noon. Either you have gone out to eat, or you have ordered a meal and are waiting for it. It happens to be a free time, and the audience wants to take advantage of this time to see more of the treasure.
I watch the live broadcast at work, and if I get caught, my boss will nag me again.
It is normal that there are fewer treasures dug out in the morning and more in the afternoon.
How can one dig out a lot of treasures as soon as they start digging? The ones who dig the treasures are humans, not robots, so how can they be so fast?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Since everyone wants to see it, I will take you to other pits!"
Now there was a crowd of people around the firecracker, and some spectators suggested that they go for a walk. Wang Xiaoshan readily agreed.
Leave crowded places early, otherwise when Wang Xiaoshan's live broadcast ends at noon, a bunch of people will come around again, and he will take the opportunity to escape first.
Wang Xiaoshan did not take the audience to look under the pit. If anything was excavated from the reservoir, it would be placed in the designated place for storing treasures. He only had to go to the place where the treasures were placed to see if there were any newly unearthed treasures.
When Wang Xiaoshan went there, there were indeed newly unearthed treasures, but the treasures were not of good quality. They were some copper coins, and the rust on the copper coins was just like the firecrackers just now.
Wang Xiaoshan watched the movie for the audience and then went back to eat. He didn't let the audience watch it, but the audience didn't give up. Even after watching it, they gave up.
"We've finished reading. Let's go have dinner. We'll continue in the afternoon!"
[Now I hope that Lao Wang can dig up amazing treasures this afternoon. What others are digging are broken coins. I am also drunk! 】
[When looking at treasure digging, you can only watch what Lao Wang dug. What other people dug is really hard to describe. The firecracker just now had to make do with it. If Lao Wang digs it, he will definitely dig out a big cannon!]
[We are really looking forward to what Lao Wang dug out in the afternoon. Lao Wang never disappoints us every time! 】
[Time passes so fast when watching Lao Wang’s live broadcast, but time passes so slowly when not watching, Lao Wang, why don’t you do another live broadcast! 】
[In fact, Lao Wang can live broadcast treasure hunting in the morning and afternoon, have a eating broadcast at noon, and a sleep broadcast at night, so that we can watch Lao Wang all day long. 】
The audience was reluctant to let Wang Xiaoshan do other things, and wished they could let him live broadcast at noon.
Wang Xiaoshan just finished speaking to the audience and walked back with the camera. He would not live broadcast digging holes in the middle of the day. It was so hot that he could easily suffer from heat stroke.
Wang Xiaoshan did not go back to the tent to eat. Li Miaomiao had already helped him get lunch to the car, and he went to take a shower first.
The reservoir has a temporary shower place. Wang Xiaoshan liked this facility very much. He took a shower at noon, slept comfortably and continued in the afternoon.
Li Miaomiao looked at Wang Xiaoshan who was eating after returning from the shower and said: "The bet was right this time. Nothing particularly precious was dug out last week."
“Today I finally don’t have to work as hard as I did a few days ago to write a manuscript.”
Wang Xiaoshan: "There's still afternoon, okay. Just because we didn't dig it out in the morning doesn't mean we won't be able to dig it out in the afternoon. It's too early for you to be happy."
Li Miaomiao: "I'm very happy to have a break at noon. Let's talk about the things in the afternoon. I'm so envious of Cao Bingbing!"
Li Miaomiao just sent a message to Cao Bingbing and asked what the other person was doing.
Today, Cao Bingbing is still in Huangshan, but without Wang Xiaoshan's explanation, the staff at Huangshan are not digging as hard.
There is no live broadcast today, so Cao Bingbing doesn't need to be so active in watching the excavated fossils. They will be returned to the camp anyway.
At noon, senior experts in the barren mountains will go and look at these fossils. If they meet senior experts with special characteristics, they will discuss them, and Cao Bingbing will listen to them.
There are some fossils in the barren mountains where conditions are limited, and experienced experts are not sure what kind of animals and plants they are.
Therefore, Cao Bingbing can only write about some animal or plant fossils that experts are very sure about, which leaves a lot less to write about.
Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing had a rare day of leisure today, and their fingers could finally rest.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Don't be envious. Take a rest as soon as you finish writing the manuscript. It's yours every day."
After dinner, Wang Xiaoshan went to bed. There was no digging in the reservoir at noon, so everyone was resting in the shade.
In the afternoon, Li Miaomiao called Wang Xiaoshan up on time. She had finished writing the manuscript at noon today, but she did not rest and went to watch the drama again.
When Wang Xiaoshan got off the car, the reservoir staff were also walking towards the reservoir one after another.
The staff of the reservoir have a daily quota on how deep they must dig every day. The soil under the reservoir is easy to dig. As long as you dig carefully, you can dig out something every day.
Moreover, the top layer of soil in the reservoir has long been pushed away by bulldozers, and now there is only a distance of six or seven meters from the surface of the reservoir to the ground at the bottom of the pit.
There is a town below the reservoir, so as long as you dig straight down, you will definitely reach the ground. Because the distance is infinite, the reservoir has an indicator.
You can dig nothing every day, but you must dig to the ground under the pit. This requirement is not excessive.
Two people dig a hole randomly. As long as they don't get lazy and slip around, they can dig to the ground. If they are lucky, they can dig out the treasure before it reaches the ground.
If you dig deep into the ground and find no treasure, that's even better. Anything buried under the ground is usually good.
Reservoirs can be assessed using this method, but barren mountains cannot. Fossils do not follow routines and can be tested at depths of several meters.
After Wang Xiaoshan walked to the hole he had not finished digging in the morning, he started digging. The digging was a little slow in the morning, so he had to work harder in the afternoon.
Wang Xiaoshan dug for a while and then the group of people who were chatting with him at noon gathered around him.
These people came from various provinces and cities to study. They looked down upon the workers who were digging other pits, so they all came to watch Wang Xiaoshan dig the pits.
These people who come to learn are all digging on the front line. For them to learn to dig and find treasures, they must find Wang Xiaoshan, who is the master in this field.
The onlookers not only watched, but also took photos from time to time. Everyone also discussed it from time to time at the edge of the pit.
These students did not disturb Wang Xiaoshan from digging the pit. They watched Wang Xiaoshan dig in the pit seriously with a learning attitude.
Wang Xiaoshan digs too fast. There is no way to learn this. If you want to learn, you can only learn his digging skills.
When Wang Xiaoshan dug the tunnel, some people who wanted to ask him for advice ran down to the pit to help him.
Reservoir Wang Xiaoshan came very little, and he was not assigned any staff to help him transport soil from the pit.
As soon as these people who came to study from other provinces and cities saw that there was work to do, they ran down to help. They were not needed to dig the pits. They only needed to transport the soil on the small carts from the pits.
When Wang Xiaoshan was loading soil at the bottom of the pit, those who came to study would ask him a few questions, and he would patiently answer them.
Wang Xiaoshan can dig holes faster, but he can't load soil faster. He has to load the soil into the car bit by bit and transport it out after loading. During this time, he has nothing to do.
Li Miaomiao usually stays with Wang Xiaoshan and chats with him in the afternoon. Today, there are a lot of people who humbly ask him for advice. Li Miaomiao wants to come and accompany him, but there is no room left.
As expected, the afternoon was the time when treasures were concentrated. Wang Xiaoshan dug in the pit for more than an hour before something was unearthed.
The frequency of discovery is not very high, usually one will be unearthed every half an hour or so. Wang Xiaoshan is not in a hurry for the audience to see it.
There are more than a dozen pits for normal operation of the reservoir, and it would be too time-consuming to look at each one.
Wang Xiaoshan planned to go there every two hours. If he concentrated more, he might see some good things. He didn't want the audience to see worthless things every time.
In the afternoon, Li Miaomiao was very busy. She would go to this pit to see the treasures, and then go to that pit to see the treasures. If she found something good, she would tell Wang Xiaoshan in time.
