Chapter 746 Prince Xiya
Hu Qin, the little tiger girl, replied: "Help someone identify the bronze sword we found."

I asked: "Bronze sword?"

The little tiger girl Hu Qin nodded: "Yes! On the high seas at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, there is an uninhabited island called Fanggong Island. Some time ago, when the fishermen were fishing, they accidentally broke into this island due to a storm. Taking refuge on an uninhabited island, I accidentally discovered a rusty bronze sword and bronze fragments with writing on the shore of the island."

"The fishermen brought out the rusty bronze sword and put it out for sale, but they were deceived by a foreign movie dealer. The foreign movie dealer didn't know much about it, so he planned to sell the sword to a foreigner. This His name is Prince Xiya. This guy knows the goods and initially judged that this is a bronze sword from the Qin Dynasty, and there is an incredible craftsmanship inside, the chromium salt craftsmanship."

"Prince Xiya immediately spent a lot of money to buy an external boat and took the fishermen out of the sea belt road. He also specially invited highly skilled sea monkeys to go to Fanggong Island. At present, they have detected signs of a shipwreck below and are working on it. We are trying to salvage this Qin Dynasty shipwreck near the island, but we haven’t determined the location yet.”

"Because they were not sure about the forging process of the bronze sword and the fragments, they asked me to help with the appraisal. My task was to conduct appraisal of the craftsmanship of the bronze sword that had been salvaged and the bronze artifacts that they subsequently salvaged, and the reward for me was relatively generous. . I haven’t had much to do recently, and I also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know some sea monkeys and look forward to working together in the future, so I decided to go.”

I was shocked.

The shock is not whether there is a Qin Dynasty shipwreck on Fanggong Island.

Even if this happened, there is nothing surprising. After all, Xu Fu had once set foot in this sea area by boat.

Bronze swords are also normal.

Before the Western Han Dynasty, the swords used in ancient cold weapons were basically made of copper. Later, with the development of iron smelting technology, copper weapons gradually disappeared from the stage of history.

I was shocked at the chrome salt process she was talking about.

Chromium salt, the full name is "chromium salt oxidation smelting and plating process".

This process is also called morphological memory alloy technology.

How would you describe this craftsmanship?

To give a simple example, we take a sword, bend it to a very large arc, and then let it go, it will rebound back to its original shape.This thing may not sound unusual, but in fact it was not until [-] that a foreigner invented it and applied for an international patent.

but!

We had this kind of craftsmanship in the Qin Dynasty!
During the excavation of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, it was discovered that there was a bronze sword between the two terracotta warriors and horses. After cleaning the dirt on the surface, it was found that after more than 2000 years, the sword was still gleaming and sharp, and the eight diamond-shaped patterns on the sword body were very clear. .

The only thing that feels extremely pity is.

The sword was bent at a 45-degree angle by a pottery figurine weighing three hundred kilograms.

Archaeological experts were heartbroken when they saw this situation, because at this bending angle, according to the level of sword making in the Qin Dynasty, it would [-]% turn into a broken sword.

But when the pottery figurine was moved away, something unexpected happened. The severely deformed bronze sword rebounded instantly and returned to its original straight appearance.

This thing surprised everyone.

Because it's not scientific!
Therefore, archaeologists invited the world-famous smelting expert Williams Lepp and domestic sword-making masters to study and detect the unearthed bronze swords.

turn out.

The surface of the bronze sword was actually plated with a thin layer of chromium salt compound only ten microns thick, which is the kind of thing that foreigners applied for international patents in the 30s.

How to explain this?

can not explain!

But as the so-called independent evidence does not stand up, if there are texts or smelting sites from the Qin Dynasty to prove this technology, it would be enough to prove that our ancestors mastered this technology more than 2000 years ago. The problem is that there is not.

Various theories came.

Some people say that underground substances synthesized natural chromium salts to create these bronze swords.Some people also said that it was probably some modern swords that were old and deliberately thrown into the pit of pottery figurines.

The most ridiculous theory is that these bronze swords were given to Qin Shihuang by aliens and were used as evidence that the First Emperor had seen aliens.

Some readers may be interested in Qin Shihuang’s meeting with aliens. Here are two brief sentences.

"Shiyi Ji" records: "There are people from Wanqu who arrive in a spiral boat. The boat is shaped like a snail and sinks to the bottom of the sea without being immersed in water. It is called a 'Lunbo boat'. The people of this country are ten feet long and weave the feathers of birds and animals into it." Hidden form. The words spoken by the First Emperor and the opening of the shirt of heaven and earth were as clear as seeing them in person..."

Based on these records, the general content of the speculation by later generations is that the Wanqu people came in vehicles like deep-sea submarines. They were extremely tall, wore flight suits like astronauts, and held luminous objects the size of rice grains. It can turn night into day instantly, and the Qin Dynasty's 1 years are equivalent to one of their years (estimated to be light years).

Moreover, these people can live forever and fully understand the events from the beginning of Pangu to the present. They are also very concerned about the Qin Dynasty's defense fortifications. They guided Qin Shihuang to fill the sea in the east, build Afang in the west, build Five Ridges in the south, and build the Great Wall in the north. They also specially gave gifts He gave these bronze swords to the First Emperor.

The First Emperor therefore began to believe in immortality, and sent Xu Fu out to sea just to find these Wanqu people again and obtain the elixir of immortality.

Where is Wanqu Country?

From ancient times to the present, no historian has ever verified it.

I don’t believe that aliens sent swords to Qin Shihuang.

But the Qin Dynasty shipwreck was discovered on Fanggong Island, and the Qin sword appeared again, which undoubtedly had a fatal attraction for me.

The origin of the chromium salt craftsmanship of bronze swords, the true history of the Qin Dynasty recorded in bronze fragments, major subversive cultural relics... Or could this ship be Xu Fu's companion ship, with the elixir of immortality in it?
OK.

I asked the little tiger girl Hu Qin: "Do you know how to identify bronze swords?"

She replied: "Brother Turtlejiu, my ancestors actually specialized in sword-making. Putting aside the experts in the temple, there are really not many people in the world who know sword-making technology better than me."

I suddenly remembered.

The "book of forgotten words" in her hand is made of thousand-year-old black iron using chromium salt technology.

It seems she really understands.

Prince Xiya invited her to the right person.

Sanheizi scratched his head and asked: "Boss, this Xiya is already a prince, how come he still has time to fish the boat?"

I replied: "Don't take foreign princes too seriously. In some chiefdom-based countries, the princes are actually just like our domestic village chiefs. Even one tribe is not as big as our village!"

Three Heizi: "..."

When the little tiger girl Hu Qin heard this, she shook her head: "I don't know where this Prince Xiya comes from, but he seems to be quite strong."

I was really dissatisfied and snorted: "Be strong as a hammer! Treat him like a brother!"

Sanheizi said: "Boss, are you so confident?"

I replied: "Nonsense! After all, I have learned 36 strategies. Does Prince Xiya understand it?"

Before Sanheizi could reply, the little tiger girl Hu Qin specially used the voice of a conquered little girl, and said coquettishly: "Brother Turtledove, I believe you!"

I got goosebumps all over my body.
