Chapter 1687 Open the box

The man Han Xuan was staring at was named Brees, a Frenchman who once worked in the Louvre Museum in the heart of Paris. Later, he was dug up at a high price by the former director of the Chiefs' Treasure Museum. He is one of the few Western experts who know how to identify Chinese antiques.

Hearing the inquiry, he shook his head and told Han Xuan: "Boss, I don't know this yet, but the ore definitely contains gold.

When I first got it, I knew that it was definitely a stone produced in the gold mine. However, as time passed, the outside was wrapped by microbial debris. Only after scratching it, it could clearly see the true appearance. This was also proved by X-ray detection. There was even a piece of natural gold the size of a thumbnail inside the stone.

This is very consistent with the local characteristics. Historically, gold was also produced near Monterey Bay. The gold on the walls of the caves and the gold in the Chiefs' Treasure Museum were mostly obtained from a gold mine more than ten kilometers away.

Back then, they should have used a very traditional and ancient method of gold digging. After smashing stones, they washed out gold sand grains from them. Judging from the technology at that time, this was a very large project.

So I guess, the box outside is probably made locally…”

The reason why he asked this question was because Han Xuan was worried that the things in the box were also objects they made after they came to North America. Although this was also of historical significance, it was much less meaningful than brought by the distant China.

"Okay, where are the other things I sent here?" Han Xuan continued.

"After we sent it here, we have checked it one by one. All the antiques are real. After the serial number is arranged, they are sent to the warehouse. Do you want to go and see them now?"

Bris appraiser asked.

Han Xuan replied with a smile: "Forget it, I have appreciated it. Just know that they are real. Maybe someone should be invited to be an appraiser. It seems that he is really good at it."

I don’t know who the boss is talking about. Brees couldn’t answer this and didn’t think he was asking for his opinion. The cutting sound was quite loud, and he smiled and didn’t say anything…

The cutting speed was not fast. Han Xuan took the time to look around and thought it was quite suitable for Anya. She also studied cultural relics restoration at the Royal Academy of Art in the UK. It is estimated that it can only be considered a half-baked person now, but she likes this industry very much.

The cultural relics restoration major is also an important branch in the art field. Its significance is to revitalize the broken, moldy and damaged artworks through modern restoration technology.

Famous murals such as the famous murals "The Last Supper", "The Gift of the Goddess", "Genesis", "Academy of Athens" have been restored to a certain extent since modern times. They have a long history and cannot be affected by time.

Some time ago, Han Xuan bought a landscape painting "The Mountains of Red" from Sotheby's Auction. It is now placed in a transparent glass cabinet, leaving traces of repair. The museum also has masters who are proficient in restoring Chinese antiques, mostly from two Palace Museums on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

With strong financial support, although the California Chiefs Treasure Museum is not at its top today, its technical force is definitely at the forefront of the world. Last year, Michelangelo's famous mural "Original Sin: Exit from Paradise" was needed to repair Michelangelo's famous mural, and it was from here to find someone to help.

About half an hour passed, the harsh cutting sound finally stopped at this moment.

Han Xuan turned around and looked at Director Lowry and the others. He saw Mr. David, the chief cultural relic restorationist who had talked to before. He put down the cutting machine and took off his goggles. He raised his legs and walked over and asked him: "Okay?"

"Absolutely, there should be a little bit of the parts that connect the two stones together. I'll try to separate them with force."

When Mr. David was speaking, he found a special tool made of flat metal, stretched into the gap and scraped it back and forth, making a lot of powder. After Han Xuan was anxiously waiting, more than ten minutes passed.

At this time, sleepiness came and found that Butler Elner was dozing off. He couldn't help but open his mouth and said helplessly: "Before we knew we would have started, you would have arrived. The time was just right after arrival. This is my fault. It delayed your sleep. Sorry.

Mr. Elner, you don’t need to stay here with us, you can go back to bed first.”

Old Butler Elner said: "I have been waiting until now. I don't want to miss the opportunity to see the items inside as soon as possible. Wait a little longer. It doesn't matter if I go to bed late occasionally.

The chef is waiting for your notification, it won't take too long to bake the pizza. When will Miss Dolores arrive, I need to notify the chef to bake at the right time."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot her." Han Xuan took out his cell phone, called to ask about Anya's landing time, and then told her that she was in Shiqiliwan and asked her bodyguards to help drive over.

After a while, Mr. David said to himself: "It's really unbelievable. I now believe that this is a binder similar to concrete. Thousands of years have passed and it is still so firm that it is so tired that it sweats on its back.

The box is almost sealed, and I think it is better to wear a gas mask to prevent some tiny substances from being inhaled. Although the possibility is very small, I remember that many ancient tombs and items in China will be added to prevent others from opening them."

"Yes! We should be careful." Mr. Lowry hurriedly used a gas mask. When repairing cultural relics, some substances that cause minor harm to the human body are often used, so the institute is equipped with these things.

Han Xuan also chose to wear a gas mask with an undeniable attitude, not afraid of ten thousand or even if it is. After all, Mr. David inserted the metal stick into the gap and used force from different angles to lift the stone box up.

When all loosened, he reached out to move the lid of the rectangular stone box away. When he heard that there might be danger, Gabriel asked Han Xuan to stay away. He didn't notice any abnormality at this moment. He walked to Mr. David and looked into the box. This time he could finally see the golden light spots on the stone wall.

This is normal. How could the tomb be made magnificent? How could the box containing important items be so ordinary? It is completely inconsistent with the Chinese character. The golden silk patterns on the cave walls a few years ago were also covered with a thick layer of material. It took a long time to clear it.

In the box, the object is wrapped in a layer of animal skin, and there are also words written similar to the inscriptions on the bronze ware.

Mr. David had a serious expression and reached out to take it out, revealing a corner of the bronze hilt...
