Chapter 91

Chu Chen went on to say: "in Taiping Guangji, a small part of these rare treasures prepared by Li Yi are recorded. This box may have something to do with two of them. One is called Ruyi jade. It is said that it is as small as a peach stone, but there are seven holes on it. The light is refracted back and forth at the same time, and it is bright and boundless. "

"Another one is called incense candle. It is said that it is made of a strange clam oil. Although it is only a foot long, it can last a long time. And when you light it, you can see the fragrance in a hundred steps, and the candle smoke rises slowly, forming the shape of pavilions and pavilions. "

When Zhao Qirui heard this, he understood: "do you mean this thing is made from Ruyi jade and incense?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "after all, Ruyi jade and incense are legendary things. I think Ruyi jade is still possible according to the principle of reflection, but it's unrealistic that the smoke of incense can form the shape of pavilions and pavilions. So I think this box should be something made by later generations according to this record. "

Zhao Qirui thought for a while, also felt that it might be like this, sighed: "Xiao Chu, what you said is quite reasonable, but now I still think it's a little incredible. How did the people who made it at the beginning have a fantastic idea to make this thing into such an effect?"

Chu Chen couldn't imagine this. He could only say: "I think that man should have made such a thing after repeated trials or in his poor life."

Zhao Qirui nodded, and suddenly he reached over the box for a flash, and the picture was swept away unexpectedly. Seeing this, he said with a smile:

"ha ha, at first I saw this thing, I thought it was a fairy treasure. After listening to your explanation, I realized that this thing should be a masterpiece of an ancient master. However, the wisdom of the ancients is really not simple. The master who made this thing is really original and skillful, which people can't imagine. "

Looking at the reconstruction of that picture, Chu Chen sighed at the wisdom of the ancients, but also felt sorry for the loss of such technology.

Think about the five thousand years of China, skilled craftsmen have created many advanced technologies. However, looking at the whole history of China, most of the time, China was in the era of war, but there were few years of real peace, and many technologies were lost in the war, or after the change of dynasties.

In particular, on several occasions, foreigners came to the Central Plains and savagely defeated civilization, which not only seriously damaged the Chinese civilization, but also destroyed many advanced technologies. Not to mention that some of these technologies are still inherited by father son or apprentice, and such inheritance is often the most vulnerable. Once the inheritor has an accident, the result is obvious.

For thousands of years in China, there are too many lost techniques like this for various reasons. Not to mention far away, bronze swords, which have been shining and extremely sharp for two thousand years, have been unearthed from the terracotta warriors and horses. Moreover, the body of the swords is extremely tough.

One sword was bent by a stone when it was unearthed, but as soon as the stone was removed, the sword immediately became straight. This exquisite sword casting skill is really tongue tied, but I don't know how it was made.

After identification, those swords used the chromium salt oxidation method to prevent oxidation, which ensured that they would not rust for two thousand years. When the bronze sword was discovered, the most advanced chromium salt oxidation method in China at that time could only guarantee 60 years of stainless steel. It can be seen how advanced the casting technology of sword in ancient China was.

However, it is a pity that this kind of technology has been lost, and we don't know when this advanced technology will be discovered again.

Chuchen thought wildly for a while. Zhao Qirui hesitated and said, "little Chu, I don't know this treasure..."

Chu Chen immediately knew what he wanted to say. He didn't even think about it. He shook his head and said, "brother Zhao, I don't want to cheat you. You know, I can't transfer something like this."

Zhao Qirui thought it would be this result before he opened his mouth. He was not angry, but he would definitely make the same decision. He sighed and said, "Xiao Chu, I know your mind. Actually, I'm not interested in this box. After all, it's dead. It's the same thing when I see too much. What I care about most is the one inside A candle. To tell you the truth, my old man suffered from brain injury in those years. As long as he was upset, he would have a headache, so... "

This request made chuchen a little difficult. Now he didn't know whether there would be any vision if he changed it into other candles. Because it is also possible that the smoke of this candle is different. After the box is converged, this effect can be produced. In that case, the candle must not be given to Zhao Qirui.

So he pondered for a long time and said:

"brother Zhao, I don't know whether other candles are OK now. Otherwise, if other candles are OK, I will transfer this candle to you. If it has something to do with this candle, let's take a little bit from it and try to analyze it. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways. Do you think it's ok? "

After hearing the speech, Zhao Qirui also felt that Chu Chen's opinion was good, so he happily said: "Xiao Chu, thank you very much. I won't say more. I must keep your friendship in mind. It's not too early. Let's go back first. Xiao Chu, you should have a rest early."After seeing off Zhao Qirui, Chu Chen felt sticky and sweat stained.

As I said before, chuchen didn't wear air conditioning here, and he couldn't blow the fan just now. Now it's hot summer. Even if the fan doesn't turn on in the room at night, the sweat is still pouring. I didn't feel it just now because I didn't pay attention here. Now I feel uncomfortable all over.

"Well, I didn't think it was before. Now I think it's really hard to live such a life. It's really hard to go from extravagance to frugality! It seems that the house problem needs to be solved quickly. "

However, this matter is not urgent, but also to wait for the news of Liu's side, Chu Chen shook his head, and quickly took a bath.

After taking a bath, Chu Chen looked at the time, and it was almost one o'clock.

"Yes

Chu Chen suddenly thought that the power should be updated, so he quickly picked up the box and used the power, but the result of the power surprised him.

There are two kinds of powers absorbed this time, which is not enough to surprise him. After all, there are two kinds of things.

Judging from the results of the powers, the two things should have been made for more than 900 years, that is, in the Northern Song Dynasty.

But the value is very different, and this is the reason why he was surprised, because one of the things, the power, can't judge its value, but the progress is calculated in tens of millions.

Chu Chen thought about it and knew what the reason was. It was very likely that the power felt that this thing was a unique treasure, which was why it had such a result. Needless to say, this thing must be this box, and although the candle is also possible, he thinks the possibility should be much smaller.

With this conjecture, he immediately began to re observe the box, but it was obvious that the appearance of the box was so plain, so he picked up the magnifying glass and began to observe the 49 holes on the lid.

Unexpectedly, Chu Chen discovered a secret. He didn't expect that the materials used to make the box were like grains of sand, and the density was not high. Moreover, the crystals like grains of sand could reflect or refract light, which made him know the principle of this thing in an instant.

Chu Chen conjectured that during the Northern Song Dynasty, a great master got a kind of material by chance, and he also found that this kind of material would have the effect of reflection and refraction. So he devoted himself to the research, spent a lot of time, and finally completed this treasure.

Originally Chu Chen wanted to take out the candle, but he thought about it for a while, and decided to keep it as it is and wait until tomorrow to ask Mr. Liu

The next morning, Chu Chen got up early. He found that today's spirit seemed to be better than usual, which made him doubt whether he had smelled the strange fragrance of yesterday. If so, it was really a good thing.

But when you think about yesterday's evaluation of the power, a candle that is only three centimeters high and four centimeters in diameter is worth 500000. It's just burning money.

After breakfast, Chu Chen picked up the box and hurried to Liu's hometown.

Today, with the wind and the rain, Liu was still enjoying the scenery in the Pavilion by the lake. After Chu Chen sat down, he said with a smile, "little Chu, you've got some strange treasure. Come to my old man to offer it."

Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "Mr. Liu, you are really clever. You guessed it all at once, but you can't talk about it. You just have a problem. I've come to ask you for advice." After that, he handed the box over.

After a while, he shook his head in disappointment and said, "Xiao Chu, I really can't see what it is made of. I don't remember that any old thing is made of this kind of material, and it can't be made from Baojiang or other materials Other characteristics can be dated. I said, "Xiao Chu, this is not a modern thing, is it?"

Chu Chen shook his head and told Mr. Liu how to get this thing.

After listening to this, Mr. Liu thought about it and said, "as you say, it really should have been made by the ancients, but it's really strange that there is a candle in it. Is there any special purpose?"

Chuchen said with a mysterious smile: "Mr. Liu, I'll show you a miracle later, but let's go back to the house first. It's not convenient here."
