The dismantling of the sunken ship lasted more than ten days.
During these more than half a month, except for the first three days, Zhou Yan spent the rest of the time staring at the salvage site.
The professors at Hainan University have a pretty good idea. After dismantling and reassembling ancient shipwrecks, it is a huge achievement.
But during the specific dismantling process, problems arose: many of the wood on the sunken ship were relatively well preserved due to the lack of oxygen and microorganisms in the water, which made dismantling more difficult.
Although the ship is well preserved, after all, Hainan University's trump card is not shipbuilding. When faced with a shipwreck more than a thousand years ago, a group of experts and professors are like tigers eating the sky and have no idea what to do.
So, a certain foreign girl who couldn’t bear to see other people’s sweet things, recommended her own boss to the experts...
"Mr. Zhou? Isn't he majoring in thermal energy?"
The foreign girl smiled slightly: "If my boss didn't understand navigation, how could he have located the ancient sunken ship so easily? If he didn't understand the structure of ancient ships, how could he have easily found the warehouse and salvaged the porcelain?"
Under Zanniu's secret prodding, the teacher from Hainan University found Zhou Yan.
"Mr. Zhou, I heard from Miss Hannah that you are very knowledgeable about ancient ship structures?"
The other party shook the foreign girl out, so Zhou Yan had no room to refuse: "I just understand it a little bit..."
"Then can you help us formulate a construction plan..."
"I'll try my best!"
The construction process of ancient ships is similar to that of modern steel ships. First, the keel, then the ribs, then the planks, decks, and finally the mast.
The sunken ship that the teachers and students of Hainan University were dismantling, for unknown reasons, had a big hole in the side, causing it to sink.
Moreover, in the next thousand years, some of the wood on the deck was scattered into the cabin due to rot, and was mixed with the damaged side plates...
"This piece is the side. The deck is generally made of wood that is oily and relatively wear-resistant. The side side needs to be bent, so it has better toughness..."
At the beginning, the students from Hainan University personally guided the salvage, but in the next few days, they directly handed over the work to Zhou Yan, just watching from the sidelines as Zhou Yan directed the operators to dismantle the sunken ship and put it into the net bag.
After nearly ten days of salvage work, Haida contacted a small cargo ship to transport the salvage results back to the school.
Of course, before transporting it back, the professors at Hainan University did not forget to ask Zhou Yan for an "assembly instruction manual".
And just when the Dongxin weighed anchor and headed for the next stop, the people on the ship heard a very surprising news through the radio: the Hujian underwater scientific expedition team discovered a relatively well-preserved Yuan Dynasty ship off the coast of Quanzhou.
The sunken ship carried a large number of exquisite blue and white porcelain...
After leaving the sea off Quanzhou, the Dongxin and Feiyu resupplied in Shantou and then headed straight to the next stop.
However, what surprised the crew on the ship was that during the next few salvages, the Dongxin turned on the "blind box" mode. Although the sunken ship was quickly located after anchoring, the things that could be salvaged from the sunken ship were
The values are not the same: sometimes you can salvage imported precious metals and exported copper coins, but sometimes you can only salvage decayed silk...
The crew members were a little frustrated, but the expedition team members majoring in history from Hainan University who accidentally boarded the ship were overjoyed: ancient overseas trade has always been a hotbed of excellent papers.
Young Master Zhou’s blind box opening activities have been continuing. Although a lot of valuable porcelain and precious metals have been salvaged, Young Master Zhou does not seem to be very satisfied...
Until one day, an underwater detector discovered a footbath merchant ship.
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing a familiar-looking mahogany box in the crew cabin of the sunken ship, Zhou Yan quickly stopped the operator.
"Zoom the distance, zoom in..."
The pattern on the mahogany box appeared in everyone's field of vision...
The shape of the box is exquisite, and it is also inlaid with silver wire. Although the silver wire has begun to turn black due to oxidation, this does not affect everyone's evaluation of the box.
Zhou Yan took a deep breath and looked back at the operator of the No. 2 detector who was watching the excitement: "The No. 2 detector went into the water and fished out the box!"
Half an hour later, the mahogany box was pulled onto the deck.
Seeing Zhou Yan staring blankly at the box, the people around him didn't dare to move forward. Even Qin Ruoshu just looked at Zhou Yan curiously...
"Huh..." Zhou Yan let out a long sigh and glanced at the expert on the protection of lake architecture cultural relics who had just boarded the boat in Shantou, "Professor Chen, please deal with the books in the box..."
"Are these books inside?" Professor Chen was a little surprised.
"The shipwreck was from the Ming Dynasty, and the pattern style of the box is from the foot basin. For the foot basin, which is rich in silver, the only thing that can make them pay so much attention is books..."
Professor Chen nodded and glanced at the students behind him: "Prepare the argon gas tank immediately..."
The function of the vacuum box is to prevent the contents inside from being oxidized after the box is opened.
Seeing the huge box being put into the oversized argon gas box, and the argon gas being introduced, everyone did not dare to breathe.
When the oxygen sensor in the box indicated that the oxygen content in the box was zero, Professor Chen picked up the rubber gloves connected to the box and carefully opened the lid...
"A little tight?"
Seeing this, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Use the robotic arm!"
Vigorously miracle!
After opening the box, Professor Chen, who was still a little nervous at first, had a look of surprise on his face: "There is not much moisture in it!"
Later, when Professor Chen saw clearly the cover of the book in the box, the series was dumbfounded...
"How could it be "Tiangong Kaiwu"?"
Although everyone knows that "Tiangong Kaiwu" is the most outstanding encyclopedia in our country, many people do not know that the domestic "Tiangong Kaiwu" came back from the footbath.
The ill-fated "Tiangong Kaiwu" was born in the late Ming Dynasty. The description of the Da Zhuo Dynasty in the book uses words such as "Northern Barbarians" and "Northeast Barbarians". Therefore, after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, such an encyclopedic masterpiece
, became a "poisonous weed" and was banned.
Only a small number of books were preserved because they were transferred to the footbath in the late Ming Dynasty...
"How can this be!"
Professor Chen looked at it for a long time, and after confirming that it was indeed "Tiangong Kaiwu" printed on the cover of the book, he let out a long sigh, turned around, and stared directly at Zhou Yan: "Mr. Zhou, are you
How was it determined that this book was on the shipwreck?”
"Big data screening, plus elimination methods..." Zhou Yan sighed slightly, "Fortunately, the effect is not bad!"
"You're so old!" Professor Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and stared at Zhou Yan eagerly, "Xiao Zhou, a week ago, you said you wanted me to help you repair it.
Do these salvaged books still count?"
"certainly!"
"That's good!" Professor Chen happily looked at the two proud disciples who were still in a daze, "You two, what are you still doing? Take the time to prepare for the restoration of the books..."
Professor Chen and two students happily pushed the argon protection box back into the cabin, leaving behind a group of staff who looked at each other.
"Teacher, what's going on in "Tiangong Kaiwu"?"
"The "Tiangong Kaiwu" currently being published in China came from the east..."
