Chapter 1655

Billy said that the porcelain had stayed in the oxygen free environment for too long to directly peel off the whale oil on it. The whale oil is now a protective layer, and the stripping of whale oil can only be carried out in a professional maintenance environment.

Qin Shiou nodded and continued to ask, "the surprise you said is these porcelain? I don't think they are of much value? "

Billy opened his eyes and said, "one may not be worth much, but do you know how many such porcelain there are? Moreover, the value of porcelain does not lie in the single, but in the whole. I bet there must be many sets of porcelain in the underwater sunken ship. Together, we can have a special alla PORCELANA auction. "

Qin Shiou said he understood and went to look at the gold and silver coins, which were the common currency of Spain in the 17th century. Because Spain was one of the sea overlords at that time, their currencies were used in many countries and regions, leaving a large number, but few were so well preserved.

In addition to gold and silver coins, some gold and silver tableware were also fished from the shipwreck this time. Of course, it was mainly silver. Qin Shiou only saw two soup spoons with carved handles. However, whether gold or silver, they were of high value, because there was no gold and silver plating technology at that time, and these gold and silver ware were real materials.

Little black paid special attention to a silver soup pot with a pot rack. The diameter of the support is half a meter. The diameter of the soup pot is more than 40 cm. The shape is simple, but the decorative style is full of characteristics: relief groove, beaded edge, lion mask and lion claws. On its cover, there are two silver snakes crossing their necks to form a handle, Little black said it had a delicate neoclassical style.

Qin Shiou didn't understand any neoclassical style, nor did he understand the meaning of the sculpture on the soup pot. Little black wanted to explain it to him. He shook his head and said no. he probably didn't need it at ordinary times.

Billy showed little black a silver cup the size of a teacup. The silver cup fell off. It had a cup cover, crossed with some roses, and a small sheep's head skull on the cover.

Little black thought about it and asked, "don't tell me, this is collison Jason's work!"

Billy smiled proudly: "of course, of course, rose and Satan's sheep's head are collison's favorites. In addition, if you look carefully, you will see that these flower branches cross into two letters, C and Z. if this does not mean that the silver cup is collison's work, how else to prove it?"

Qin Shiou checked the name of collison Jason on the Internet. The search results were very few. Only some research materials found had this name. He said that it was a famous gold and silver ware maker in Spain in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Little black and Billy were talking about gold and silver. He was not interested, so he had to see the long bow.

At first, he only saw the long bow. Now when he looked closer, he found that the lower half of the glass box was made of refined steel, in which was placed a set of armored clothing, including a ghost face mask, shoulder chains, large and small protective leather covers and a set of lock armour. In addition, there was a belt and leather bag woven from iron hinges.

"Hey, Billy, how did you get it?" Qin Shiou asked slightly surprised.

Billy asked suspiciously, "what? How did you get it? You mean this English longbow and this Bowman armor? Of course, it was picked up from a pirate shipwreck. "

Qin Shiou laughed. He closed his mouth tightly. At this time, he found that he had slipped his tongue. He was surprised that, according to his observation and search, there were only one whale oil barrel in the sunken ship, which was too small to accommodate the long bow higher than people.

In addition, there is this set of Bowman armor, which also has traces of whale oil, but it seems that the whale oil barrel can't hold this lock armor.

These can't be said. Qin Shiou held his doubts in his heart. But it's nothing strange. Billy is a serious treasure hunter. Maybe the bow, arrow and armor are hidden in a secret part of the sunken ship. He didn't find it. Billy found it.

Therefore, the four of them have a role.

Billy didn't care what he said. Thinking that he had a special interest in the longbow, he asked, "do you want to try this bow? This is the English longbow, probably the most domineering bow and arrow in world history. When I cleaned it up before, I found that this bow and arrow is well preserved and can still be used. "

Qin Shiou said, "I think the most domineering bow in the world is the divine arm bow in the history of the Song Dynasty, which is more powerful than the long bow of England!"

Little black jumped out immediately and said firmly, "I know the divine arm bow, but I don't think it can compare with our long bow. Our long bow is definitely the strongest bow and arrow in the world!"

If the AK-47 is the pride of the Russians in the history of weapons and the nuclear weapons are the pride of the Americans in the history of weapons, this huge and friendless long bow is the pride of the English in the history of weapons.

Little black is an English immigrant and has the inherent pride and dignity of the old aristocrats of the British Empire. If the longbow is provoked, it means that his pride and dignity are provoked. He must maintain this.

In terms of cold weapons, the British people's feelings for the longbow are incomparable with any weapon, which has to start with their history.

In 1066, the conqueror from Normandy stipulated that the subject Anglo Saxon property could not have Knights' equipment, but bows and arrows were not prohibited. Soon, the old and young of the former dynasty were equipped with such "legal" weapons, while the "lower class" such as ordinary people and serfs could not even have such "noble" weapons.

Later, Emperor Edward the great allowed the whole people to ride and shoot. Ordinary people felt that this was an exaltation of their social status. Therefore, whether nobles or ordinary people, rich or poor, they would train shooting skills from time to time.

A few years later, Europe entered the era of chaos among countries. Even after the emergence of muskets, the English longbows were the strongest arms on the European continent. This arm has won numerous victories and dignity for Britain, protected territorial integrity and robbed a large amount of territory and resources.

Therefore, from top to bottom, the British have a different feeling for the longbow.

Qin Shiou felt that this topic was not worth arguing about. Then he shrugged and said, "well, England longbow is the most powerful. Why don't you show it to me? Also, why didn't I find you interested in this powerful Longbow just now? "

Little black laughed at his words and muttered, "I just want to talk about an objective fact, because the English longbow is indeed the strongest bow in the world. Another objective fact is that I like money far better than Longbow... "
