Under the leadership of Cheng Qian, more than 20 archaeologists, plus 50 or 60 workers, took shovels and brushes to the big ship and began to clean up.

An hour later, the mud on the boat had been cleared.

At this moment, Cheng Qian looked at the big ship in front of him and said suspiciously: "This ship looks a bit like the foreigner's ship before!"

Li Hao nodded: "Yes, it is indeed a foreign ship." "

After showing the big ship, Li Hao has already learned about the big ship from the identification technique.

This is a foreign merchant ship in the late Qing Dynasty, also known as Fanbo, which mainly ran maritime trade.

Cheng Qian spoke again: "Do you know what age this ship is!".

Li Hao nodded and said lightly: "Qing Dynasty." "

Qing Dynasty? Didn't the Qing Dynasty not allow foreign merchant ships to come in to trade!".

"That's right, the relevant order was issued, then have you ever thought about it, since the country is closed and closed, where did the Opium War come from! It is because of the blockade, but not the complete blockade, that they came into contact with Western culture, but they did not keep up with the pace of the West, so the country was finally bombed open!"

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Qian fell into contemplation, it was obvious that the Qing Dynasty at that time was not completely closed, it can only be said to be relatively closed!

Then it makes sense that this ship is here now.

First of all, it was originally a river, which sank for some reason.

With the level of salvage at that time, such a large ship would definitely not be able to be fished.

After thinking about it like this, the only thing that makes people sigh is that in the past 200 years or so, a big ship has been completely buried in the ground.

If it hadn't been dug up by chance today, the devil knows when it would have seen the light of day again.

Li Hao watched the dirt inside the big ship being cleaned up little by little, and said lightly: "If nothing else, this should be a merchant ship, and it is very likely that the trade goods of the year will be preserved in the cabin!"

Cheng Qian nodded solemnly: "I just don't know if I've been blistered for so many years!"

More than an hour passed, and it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

The cabin house has been cleared of most of the earth.

Principal Qin and the others finally couldn't wait, and wanted to get on the boat to see what was inside.

Everyone went up the stairs to get on the boat, and although 200 years have passed, people can still stand on the deck.

It's just that it squeaks when I walk, and I feel very vulnerable.

In order to avoid the destruction of the plank, the archaeological team brought a whole piece of wood and laid it on it, so as to reduce the stress points on the plank below.

When everyone walked to the room at the back of the boat, they were all a little disappointed when they saw the scene in front of them.

There was little value on the ground other than the control room.

There were several large chests on the ground, and when I opened them, all that remained was dirt, and the trade goods of that year had long since rotted and decomposed.

Then there are some silk fabrics, which have long been tattered and completely worthless.

To say that the only valuable is some Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain

, but although these are cultural relics, their archaeological value is very average.

The cabin below has not been cleared out, but it is clear that it is an ordinary merchant ship, and there are no too valuable artifacts.

Most of the underside of the cabin are only the daily necessities of the crew, and after 200 years of soaking and decay, it is estimated that the early products have been changed beyond recognition.

Principal Qin looked at it for a while and sighed and shook his head: "It's a little disappointed that such a big ship doesn't have many cultural relics.

Cheng Qian, who also felt the same way, also nodded.

I found so many people to clean up the big ship, but it turned out to be a little disappointing.

But in any case, this ship is also a precious artifact.

However, at this moment, Li Hao inadvertently discovered that in the pile of dirt that had not been completely cleared in front of him, there was a rusty thing embedded in it.

Mixed with dirt, it looks like black rust.

Out of curiosity, Li Hao threw an identification technique up.

"The snake head of the zodiac beast head, after the invasion of the Qing Dynasty by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the zodiac beast head was taken down by the robbers, and the snake head was purchased by overseas businessmen and placed on this ship...... "

After Li Hao read the information, his eyes widened!

This turned out to be the legendary zodiac animal head!

It's just left here, and no one wants it?

But when he saw the record behind the beast's head, he finally understood why no one wanted this thing here.

Cheng Qian looked at Li Hao's investment, and immediately walked over and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Li Hao nodded and pointed to the rusty place: "Hurry up and dig this out, I look like a snake head in the zodiac!".

As soon as these words came out, several people around them immediately exploded and stepped forward to watch.

But no matter how everyone looks at it, they all feel that this is a black iron bump, where there is a bit of a national treasure.

Since you can't see it, let's get it out first, and Cheng Qian hurriedly beckoned people to come over to help.

As the archaeologists used small shovels to clean up the surrounding soil little by little, an iron lump wrapped in rust appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Even after so many years, even if it is full of rust, they can see at a glance that this is the national treasure that the Chinese people have in their hearts, the snake head.

Principal Qin trembled when he spoke excitedly: "This ...... Is this really the head of a snake? Why is it here?"

no one answered him.

Everyone unconsciously set their eyes on Li Hao.

Li Hao didn't answer this question, but looked at the dirt on the ground with a solemn expression: "I suspect there may be more than one here!".

Cheng Qian blew up on the spot: "Dig!" Dig it!".

He believes in Li Hao's judgment, even if he doesn't, it is definitely worth digging.

Even Principal He was very excited at this time: "Now there are four zodiac signs missing, and their whereabouts overseas are unknown, if they are really all here...... That...... That will be a big event that will shake China!".

In the live broadcast room.

"I'm so excited, I actually dug up the snake head, I thought I wouldn't see the reunion of the 12 zodiac beast heads in my lifetime, this thing has a great traditional significance in our Huaxia. After all, everyone is born with a zodiac sign, and this thing can be regarded as the most precious treasure of the Old Summer Palace!

"I hope it's true, don't be overjoyed, I went to see the exhibition of the 12 zodiac signs last year, and when I saw that there were only a few of them, I felt a lot of sadness. Obviously our Chinese zodiac signs, but there are only a few, and there are even many missing.

"God opens his eyes, he deserves this ship to sink, and he wants to run away with our national treasure of China, and he wants to be beautiful." Hurry up and dig in, I wonder if the rest of them are here. If it's all here, I'm going to have a little wine to celebrate tonight, if nothing else, just because I'm a Chinese and I'm a snake!

"Over the years, the head of the beast has been hyped to a sky-high price, because of the patriotic feelings of the Chinese people, and the meaning of the zodiac, although it is not something that is too old, but one is at least hundreds of millions, and I really hate the robbers back then!"
