Chapter 443

It was also he who had made call after call to Boss Yang before, urging him to let Fang Yang come to their city as soon as possible.

After all, it was their turn.

This was also a time that had been scheduled beforehand, and he didn't want to waste a single second.

He had even determined the most likely places to dig up things months in advance.

History experts, geography experts, and even experts from various industries had conducted all kinds of analyses on Yangquan City.

From this, one could see how much the entire Yangquan City valued this operation.

Seeing that they were all cleaning the newly excavated artifact, and since he wasn't originally very tired, Fang Yang now felt a bit sleepy, so he checked the time and decided to sleep for two hours.

The others had no objections to Fang Yang sleeping for two hours.

After all, the item had already been dug up, and although time was limited, they couldn't make someone work every second.

Only after sleeping well and eating well would he have the strength to work.

Fang Yang covered himself with a blanket.

So, while everyone was nervous and curious about what the artifact was, he was already fast asleep, even snoring slightly.

The cameraman didn't know what to do for a moment.

Should he go film the artifact? Or go film Fang Yang sleeping?

After hesitating for a while, he decided to focus on filming the artifact and return to film Fang Yang sleeping when he had free time.

--【This scene is actually quite funny; this is the first time Fang Yang has slept early in the morning.】

--【You said it's early in the morning; clearly, Fang Yang didn't sleep well at night. Coming and going in a rush, he could only sleep in the car; who could sleep well?】

--【But we never saw Fang Yang look this tired before.】

--【What's wrong? Fang Yang has made such a huge contribution to our country; is he even going to be criticized for sleeping? Can't he sleep?】

--【No one said he can't sleep, just a bit curious about what he did to get so tired. In the last city, it's said he left at five o'clock.】

--【Stop discussing this, everyone. Let's look at what the artifact is. Can you tell?】

--【Seems like bronze? But it also looks quite like a lump of iron.】

--【The experts are cleaning it now. It looks quite complex; I guess it will take a long time to clean. By the time Fang Yang wakes up, the cleaning should be almost done. If we don't understand it, can't Fang Yang understand it?】

274. An existence that can almost be deified! Could those barbarians have bronze ware?

Two hours seemed like a lot of time, but in reality, after waking up, Fang Yang felt like he had barely slept at all.

After waking up, he drank a bowl of porridge and took a few bites of fried dough sticks; Fang Yang felt very energetic, and his mind was exceptionally clear.

The confusion before was clearly caused by not sleeping well.

Fang Yang didn't care about this aspect at all.

Wiping his face, he cast his gaze toward the Zeng Houyi Zun Pan, which had been cleaned almost completely, his eyes shining slightly.

This Zeng Houyi Zun Pan is an existence that can almost be deified; it is an item from the Warring States period.

This item is probably impossible to replicate with current technology.

Oh.

Maybe it shouldn't be said that way.

But rather, whether it could be made again with the technology of that time.

"Have you found anything?"

Seeing everyone gathered around this Zeng Houyi Zun Pan, Fang Yang didn't speak about this handicraft first, but went over to ask directly.

Seeing Fang Yang come over, the others knew Fang Yang's ability, so they took the initiative to speak about what they had found and already knew.

"We've been studying it just now, and we think this should be an item from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period."

"We just counted."

"There are 28 coiled dragons and 32 coiled hornless dragons on it."

"Below, there are a total of 56 coiled dragons and 48 coiled hornless dragons."

"And in the middle, there are many small monsters; I don't know their names, they are strange and curious."

"This craftsmanship is very complex, especially, especially complex, and there are many cutouts, and these cutouts are regular."

"The Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, that was more than 2,000 years ago."

"How on earth did they do it, and what method did they use to achieve this?"

These experts were very curious about this point.

--【Although I don't know what this is, the person who could afford to use this probably didn't have a low position at the time, right?】

--【It's truly terrifying; creating such a thing must have wasted a lot of manpower. For the sake of ritual, sparing no cost! It's not worth it at all.】

--【What ritual? This is clearly overstepping; if it were according to ritual, the Zeng State would have no qualifications to use such luxurious things, and this is not a vessel type that existed in the Western Zhou period.】

--【I don't know if this thing is good-looking or valuable, but as someone with trypophobia, I feel a bit scared.】

--【Were ancient people really this competitive? However, as a modern person, I just want to lie flat.】

--【There are characters on it; they are inscriptions, right? This thing clearly has a name? What is it called? What is it used for? And how was it made?】

Everyone was too curious about this artifact from the Warring States period.

Especially since its production was so exquisite.

While everyone was discussing, Fang Yang kept observing, while the others could only watch him cautiously to see what he was doing, while also observing the artifact together.

"The name of this artifact is Zeng Houyi Zun Pan."

When the observation was almost done, Fang Yang spoke slowly and gave an explanation of the artifact.

"Everyone can see that this Zeng Houyi Zun Pan is divided into two parts; the inner part is called the Zun, and it is used for holding wine."

"And the part below is called the Pan; you can put ice or hot water in it."

"I won't talk about the details because everyone has already counted them just now."

"Everyone is very curious about how they made such exquisite bronze ware, right?"

"This brings us to the lost-wax casting method."

"The lost-wax method is a bronze casting method unique to the Chu region in ancient times."

"The specific operation method is to use paraffin wax to carve this complex sculpture, because paraffin wax is soft and easier to carve, then take fire-resistant quartz sand and sprinkle it layer by layer, connecting it, and the more you sprinkle, the more it forms a hard shell, and then the bronze water is cast into it."

"The melting point of bronze is over 800 degrees."

"Paraffin wax is only a few dozen degrees."

"Suddenly, the wax melts and flows out from the bottom."

"So this method is called the lost-wax method."

"Even the most advanced 3D printers today cannot replicate this thing."

"And the casting method used for the blades of aircraft engines is the lost-wax method."

"It has stronger resistance to high temperature and high pressure than bronze ware forged by the West; this is the most complex and highest-craftsmanship bronze ware in the world."

Fang Yang said so much in one breath without even catching his breath.

The cameraman next to him couldn't help but whisper in Fang Yang's ear.

"Brother, are you bragging? You actually dare to say this is the most complex and highest-craftsmanship bronze ware in the world? If you put what you said on the internet, you might get scolded."

Although the cameraman said this very quietly, he was livestreaming, and what he said was heard by everyone watching the livestream immediately.

They actually also felt that what Fang Yang said was indeed easy to attract scolding.

How can it be the most complex in the world?

They were very sure that there were indeed no such complex excavated handicrafts in the country.

But they had no idea what the situation was like abroad.

"I'm not bragging; I'm referring to bronze ware, the most complex and highest-craftsmanship in the world." Fang Yang's tone carried a bit of certainty and pride: "I'm not afraid of this getting out, and I can take responsibility for what I said. I'll just say it like this; if they have the ability, let those foreigners take out their most complex, highest-craftsmanship bronze ware. I'm referring to bronze ware; don't take some messy things to fool me."
