Chapter 287 [Great Harvest 1]
With two machines, it is indeed much more powerful than manual labor. This Buddhist relic is located in a valley surrounded by mountains. Because of the flood that broke out thousands of years ago, the stones and soil on the mountain have submerged the entire relic in the roof part.
Even if you dig down and dig deeper and deeper, it is very troublesome to get the soil up. You can only use a small basket made of rattan to transport it up little by little, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and labor-intensive.
With these two conveyor belts, one is placed in the kitchen ruins to help with the excavation work, and the other is placed on the periphery of the temple ruins. It takes two people to cooperate with each other for one conveyor belt to complete it, one on top and the other below to shake the handle vigorously. In this way, the conveyor runs little by little here, and all the excavated soil is transported up.
Then put the soil in the sieve for screening to see if there are some small gold and silver jewelry mixed in it. With the addition of these two conveyor belts, the work efficiency has increased by at least 80%, allowing more people to participate in the excavation work. Therefore, the work efficiency is very high. With high work efficiency, the rewards naturally increase a lot.
Although Indian Buddhism advocates frugality, it is not as extravagant as Hinduism, and likes to use gold for everything. Wearing gold and silver, eating well and living well, although it is very simple, it is a religion created in the general environment of India. It must be different from other places. Even Buddhists wear gold rings, gold earrings, or gold necklaces.
Indians love gold, and they love it to the bone. Even Buddhists are not immune. Therefore, although the gold treasures excavated. They are mainly those worn by those who have lost Muslims. There are rarely such luxurious treasures as this set of gold tableware in the kitchen, but the number is enough. One hundred and eighty pieces are excavated every day.
After being cleaned up, they are placed in boxes in different categories. There are many types of these gold rings, gold earrings, and gold necklaces. But 80% of them are inlaid with various jewels, most of which are rubies and sapphires produced in India, and there are also some jade or jade. The shapes on each piece of jewelry are very beautiful, reflecting the highest casting level at that time.
Of course, these individual pieces of jewelry cannot be successful, just for one series, because it varies from person to person. For example, the rings are big and small, and the necklaces are thick and thin. In addition to these, what excited Belsinger the most was that many wooden boxes were excavated in a stone building that looked like a dormitory.
Although the boxes were bought in the mud for hundreds of years and all rotted, the various knitted clothes inside also turned into mud. But I didn't expect that many weapons and armors were excavated in this dormitory-like house, among which there was a set of weapons and armor made of gold, which was the most luxurious.
It was inlaid with various gems, especially the pure gold scimitar that matched the gold armor. It was so beautiful and luxurious, not much worse than the dowry provided by the Shah family when I got married? And it was even more precious.
How could these weapons and armor appear in the temple? You know, let alone thousands of years, even the clergy of those temples hundreds of years ago. Their status in society is also very high. Even if there are bandits and bullies, they dare not bully the clergy because they are afraid of going to hell after death. Then they will continue to be poor and oppressed in the next life, so the clergy in the Indian subcontinent will generally not be in any danger of life.
How could weapons and armor appear in Buddhist temples? This puzzled Belsinger, and the final conclusion was that. It is possible that the owner of this set of golden armor is a general or a noble, who brought his guards to the temple to worship. Then he lived in this guest room, but it rained heavily that night, and a flash flood broke out, and finally all died here.
This can only be explained in this way, otherwise you can't explain why there are weapons and armor such as combat tools in the temple. But no matter what, the appearance of this set of golden armor has made Belsinger's income rise sharply, just like a snowball that grows little by little.
This set of golden armor includes a helmet, a chest armor, a back armor, a skirt, and arm guards and leg guards. It can be said that it is a full set of protection and there is also a set of pure gold bows and arrows. Although the bowstring has rotted, the golden bow is well preserved and inlaid with various gems.
There are 30 golden arrows equipped with the golden bow and arrows. The wooden arrow shaft is rotten, and the feathers on the arrows are also rotten. But the golden arrowhead is very well preserved and is still placed in the leather bag. There is also a golden spear.
The wooden shaft of the spear has rotted, leaving only the head of the spear and the long hair tail. The last thing left is the golden scimitar. Even after so many years, the blade is still very sharp, and it is effortless to use it to cut any object. It can be called a precious sword.
This set of golden armor, plus the matching weapons, is much more valuable than the set of golden dinner plates. The most conservative estimate is worth 50 million US dollars. If those European nobles are allowed to participate in the auction, these wealthy nobles will definitely flock to it.
This set of golden armor is luxurious and beautiful, but this set of armor is limited to boosting morale or decorative purposes. If it wasn't used for actual combat, he would have been chopped into meat paste by others long ago. Wearing this set of golden armor and appearing on the battlefield, wouldn't he be a big fat sheep?
If the general wearing such a precious armor is killed, will his reward be less? It is more symbolic than practical. But no matter what, it is much more precious than those tin can armors in Europe, and of course it is more popular. Those rich nobles will flock to it.
Anyway, the more money he can get, the better it is for him. Of course, this set of golden armor is too luxurious and rare. It may be the only set of golden armor in the world! Its collection value is definitely greater than the auction proceeds.
So when it is absolutely necessary, Belsinger will not plan to sell this set of golden armor, and put it in his own collection room. It is also good to take it out and appreciate it from time to time. Of course, Belsinger does not know whether the previous owner of this set of golden armor has been on the battlefield. Whether he has worn this set of armor or not, and whether the owner of this set of armor has died on the battlefield.
Indians are particularly taboo about this, so they generally do not choose to touch the things of the dead. Especially the masters of the upper castes, they are even more taboo to touch the dead, so the person who cleans this set of golden armor is the steward of the veterans, who can put it at home, but will never touch it.
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!
After having this set of priceless golden armor, it seems like it has been cursed, and the excavation work is not going well. A lot of bones of the mud man were excavated, but there are very few valuable things. Don't you think it's weird?
