The professionals in the field all received the news in advance.
Everyone gathered in Longguo at this time just for this grand event held in Longguo.
However, among these ancient artifacts that represent the glory of mankind, there is still one that is extremely eye-catching.
This antique was placed in the very center of the venue, occupying the largest glass display window.
Judging from the visual, it occupies at least five square meters and is two or three meters high, so it would be hard not to notice it.
However, such an extremely eye-catching ancient artifact was now covered with a whole piece of red cloth, revealing no information at all.
Let the people around speculate.
As invitees, they knew that this antiquity, whose appearance was covered, was the key to this exhibition and was also the item that the Longguo General Administration of Education mentioned in the invitation that would shock the entire archaeological community.
Although there may be some exaggeration in this.
However, in this kind of atmosphere, the expectations of friends from all over the world were unconsciously aroused.
I was filled with curiosity about this carefully guarded ancient artifact.
Time passes by every second.
When the pointer pointed to nine o'clock, Cao Guorui, director of the Longguo Archaeological Bureau, wearing a Zhongshan suit, walked onto the podium and prepared to begin his speech.
Upon seeing this, archaeologists and reporters from various countries who came from afar fell silent in an instant.
You could hear a pin drop in the entire conference hall, with only cameras flashing their lights and aiming at this energetic old man.
"Here, on behalf of the Dragon Kingdom, I welcome friends from all over the world to come from afar to participate in this exhibition and come here to exchange and appreciate antiques."
"We in the Dragon Country are deeply honored by this."
"Well, I won't say any more. I believe you have all appreciated the antiques around you."
"They are all ancient artifacts excavated by our General Archaeological Bureau in recent years."
“Although they all have their own stories and values, I still have to say that they are not the most dazzling presence in this exhibition.”
"Compared to the big guy in the middle, their light is still too dim."
As he spoke, Cao Guorui pointed his finger at the giant glass window in the middle.
At the same time, a light shone from bottom to top, making the covering red cloth more gorgeous.
"Then let me solemnly introduce this ancient artifact to everyone."
"A piece of art created two thousand years ago in ancient Greece by the famous astronomer, mathematician, physicist, inventor, and giant with a hundred arms, Archimedes..."
"Difference Engine!
!”
As Cao Guorui finished speaking, the red cloth covering the glass window was quietly lifted.
A strange machine covered with copper rust appeared before everyone.
Listening to Cao Guorui's description and looking at the real object in front of me.
Everyone in the conference hall couldn't help but hold their breath. Only the reporters were doing their job, and their cameras were quickly pointed at the difference engine.
Most of the people present were professionals in the industry, and the moment their eyes fell on this thing.
An instinctive spirit of exploration surged in my heart.
They began to move closer gradually, took out their magnifying glasses and stared at the antiques in the glass window with burning eyes. Their waists and abdomens immediately bent as if they were hit by a punch.
Although there was a glass window between the two, their years of cultivation still allowed them to see some clues.
Coupled with the detailed explanations given on the surrounding electronic screens, a sense of shock belonging to the professionals is gradually forming in their hearts.
"Oh my God, is this really the legendary Difference Engine?"
"The machine mentioned in the unofficial history?"
"I originally thought it was just a myth, but what I saw shocked me."
“This mechanical beauty does not belong to the current era. It seems to let me see another technological route.”
"In ancient Greece, how did it drift to Dragon Country two thousand years ago? This must be another wonderful historical story!"
"But, with all due respect, this thing is too magical. Director Cao, can you tell me how you got this thing?"
"Of course, what's more important is how you figured out its age. The identification of ancient artifacts that are more than 2,000 years old requires not only professional knowledge, but also sufficient courage."
Listening to the questions from his foreign friends, Cao Guorui smiled secretly.
Although there were some subtexts in these questions that implied that this thing did not belong to Dragon Country, he didn't care about them at all.
Antiques from thousands of years ago are often only known to those who are destined to have them. This is basically the unspoken rule in the international archaeological community.
Of course, except for those who are clearly robbing...
After sorting out his thoughts, Cao Guorui spoke calmly:
"The exploration process of this thing starts with two numbers and a student from Dragon Country..."
