Chapter 250 Successfully opened the bronze tripod
Late at night, Tan Palace Villa No. 1.
In the living room, the bronze tripod is surrounded by dense archaeological instruments. They are wearing white research clothes and their hands are wearing white gloves. Each of them looks serious and focused.
"Miss Bai, according to our test results, your bronze tripod is indeed a genuine artifact from the late Spring and Autumn Period. The preliminary date is determined to be between 465 BC and 475 BC."
Dong Wenhui took off his white gloves, walked from the living room to Bai Xi, and said this to Bai Xi with a smile.
"Director Dong, it is our experts from the National Museum who have to take action. It is amazing that they can narrow down the time range to such an extent."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xi couldn't help but admire from the bottom of his heart, because the answer given by Dong Wenhui was indeed very close to the answer given by the system.
"Miss Bai, these are all basic skills."
"If we can't even guess the specific time, then let's just pack up and go home."
Dong Wenhui responded with a smile.
Bai Xi chatted with Dong Wenhui for a while, then got down to business: "Director Dong, is it easy to separate the lid and the body of this bronze tripod?"
"Um……"
"Miss Bai, I can only tell you that it can be separated. It's just a little difficult. It's a delicate job, so you need to take your time."
Dong Wenhui pondered for a moment and replied to Bai Xi.
"how long will it takes?"
When Bai Xi heard that they could separate the two, he felt relieved. If Dong Wenhui told him that even they had no way to do it, then Bai Xi would have to make the worst-case scenario plan and take out the items inside the bronze tripod at the cost of destroying it.
"Five days."
Dong Wenhui thought about it for a while and gave this answer.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xi smiled and responded, "Director Dong, since you are so confident, then let's follow your ideas. We can just start working according to the work plan tomorrow."
"During this period, if you have any needs, you can tell me. Don't be polite to me. Whether it's work or life, I will fully support any needs."
Dong Wenhui smiled and waved his hand upon hearing this. "Miss Bai, the conditions you offer us are already very generous. We really don't have any living needs. As for work, we have a full complement of instruments and materials, so we don't have any needs at the moment. If I do, I won't hesitate to ask you for anything."
"Ok."
"Director Dong, it's getting late."
"You guys pack up quickly and go back to the hotel to rest."
"I'll temporarily put those commercial vehicles and drivers under your command. This way, you can work and rest more conveniently."
Bai Xi pointed at the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles outside the floor-to-ceiling window and said to Dong Wenhui.
"Thank you, Miss Bai!"
"Then let's leave now."
"We'll be here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Dong Wenhui knew the situation in Shanghai. If they didn't have a car, it would be a bit difficult for these elderly people who worked at desks all year round to squeeze into the subway and bus with young people during the morning rush hour. So he didn't bother to be polite with Bai Xi and agreed with a smile.
While the two were talking, Zheng Daoquan and others had already packed up their instruments and took off their white research clothes and white gloves.
Seeing this, Bai Xi raised his hand and gestured to the housekeeper not far away. The housekeeper immediately understood and quickly walked over with a few people, each holding a few beautifully packaged handbags.
"Director Dong, these are the pastries our chef just made. You can take them back." Bai Xi pointed at the things in their hands and said with a smile.
"Miss Bai, you..."
Dong Wenhui didn't expect that Bai Xi actually prepared midnight snacks for them. Such thoughtful and considerate service really made Dong Wenhui a little speechless.
"Alright alright."
"Thank you, Miss Bai."
In the end, Dong Wenhui did not refuse Bai Xi's kindness.
In fact, Bai Xi had his own considerations for being so courteous. Although it was due to the organization's instructions, Dong Wenhui and the others would definitely do a good job.
But she didn't want to leave others with an arrogant impression of someone who only knew how to order people around.
After all, a fancy sedan is carried by everyone, so it never hurts to be polite.
It doesn't take much effort.
In response to Dong Wenhui's sincere gratitude, Bai Xi waved her hand, and then personally escorted Dong Wenhui and others out of the mansion. After Dong Wenhui and others left by car, she turned around and went back upstairs to rest.
……
In the next five days, Dong Wenhui and others came at nine o'clock every day and left at nine o'clock in the evening. These experts from the National Museum felt quite sleepless and forgetful about eating and drinking while working.
Just as Dong Wenhui said, this job is indeed a delicate one. At first, Bai Xi accompanied them to watch for a while, but she couldn't stand it anymore. For two whole hours, a group of people squatted there with small brushes and kept brushing.
Finally, on the fifth night, Bai Xi, who had just returned from Tanggu Building, finally got the news she wanted: the lid and the body of the tripod were about to be separated.
……
Without even changing clothes, Bai Xi hurried to the living room.
At this time, Dong Wenhui and others all gathered in front of the bronze tripod. When they saw Bai Xi coming, they all cast some expectant glances at him. It was obvious that they were also very interested in the things inside the tripod.
"opened?"
Bai Xi showed a little surprise and asked Dong Wenhui.
"It's just the last step. It can be opened at any time." Dong Wenhui responded with a smile: "But you are the owner of this bronze tripod. You must be present before we open it, otherwise we won't be able to do it. .”
"Open, open, open."
"I want to see what is inside this bronze tripod."
Bai Xi rubbed his hands, a hint of excitement on his face.
"Um……"
"Miss Bai, I suggest that we move the bronze tripod outside before opening it. Since it's been sealed for over two thousand years, the composition of the gases inside is likely to be very complex."
Dong Wenhui gave Bai Xi advice from a professional perspective.
"no problem."
"Then leave it outside and open it."
Bai Xi nodded slightly in response, without any objection at all.
Soon, with Bai Xi's consent, Dong Wenhui directed the experts to move the bronze tripod outdoors and then placed all the instruments on top.
After about ten minutes, everything was ready.
The last step was performed by Zheng Daoquan himself. He wore a gas mask and held the advanced instruments of the National Museum. In full view of the public, he slowly opened the bronze tripod that had been sealed for more than 2,500 years.
After the bronze tripod was opened, Dong Wenhui and Bai Xi looked at each other and walked quickly towards the bronze tripod.
"How about it?"
Dong Wenhui asked Zheng Daoquan.
"See for yourselves..."
Bai Xi looked at Zheng Daoquan's slightly disappointed expression, and his heart gradually sank...
