#985 - Chapter 985 Screening Treasures

“Screen these items and list all those that are inconsistent with the era.” Dongfang Chen Er ordered.

He wanted to find something suspicious among these items.

The Zerg army came here with a purpose.

Their purpose was definitely not the gold and silver treasures on the ship, but some extremely important items.

“Okay, screening in progress.” After Monka finished speaking, the screen changed.

The items modeled and counted were classified and listed according to material and shape, and analyzed and investigated one by one.

Dongfang Chen Er also stared at the screen, hoping to see something unusual.

After all, Monka's robots don't quite understand human culture, and don't have a heartfelt connection to Chinese culture. In this case, letting her screen alone may lead to omissions.

“Slow down a bit.”

Monka's screening speed was too fast, and Dongfang Chen Er's eyes couldn't keep up at all.

“Okay.”

Monka immediately slowed down the screening speed.

The first batch they screened was gold.

There were many gold nuggets and fragments of various shapes on this ship, some large and some small, some regular and some irregular.

“Monka, first exclude all the gold that doesn't have any symbols or markings.”

“Okay.”

Soon, the number of items to be screened was much smaller.

Why did Dongfang Chen Er want to look at them one by one?

Because what was valuable was not the gold, but the symbols.

“Next, gather the gold ingots containing only Chinese characters and analyze the text content. If there is no valuable information, exclude them all.”

“Okay.”

… …

In this way, they screened the items inside one by one, including gold and gold products, silver and silver products, agate, jade and jade ware, porcelain, other metal utensils, wooden utensils, lacquerware… etc.

The high pressure and low oxygen content in the deep sea are important reasons why the ancient ship is still well preserved.

After several hours of initial screening, there were still 78 suspicious items, including 6 gold items, 13 silver items, 47 jade items, 7 bronze items, 1 iron item, 1 lacquer item, and 1 gem.

In addition, there were several bamboo slips.

However, penetrating imaging could not see the content on the bamboo slips, so they were excluded.

It would be much easier to screen next.

After Dongfang Chen Er's initial identification, the 6 gold items and 13 silver items only had ordinary patterns and could be excluded.

Among the 47 jade items, 44 were excluded, leaving 3.

These 3 were the three jade cong carved with sub-dimensional runes.

Among the 7 bronze items, except for 3 wine vessels, the remaining 4 were all bronze masks, and they were very consistent with the casting style of the three-star civilization or the Mayan civilization in the La Venta culture.

The 1 iron item was a danshu iron certificate, which was of no value and was excluded.

Finally, there was 1 lacquer item and 1 gem.

Among them, the lacquer item was not a traditional box shape, and it didn't look like a household item, but a beautifully carved wooden puppet.

The puppet's body was inlaid with exquisite patterns using gold thread, and there were strange golden runes on the back.

According to Monka's appraisal, this golden rune was not a sub-dimensional rune, and its specific function was unknown.

This gem was amazing.

Judging from the material, it should be a night-shining pearl.

However, this night-shining pearl was not a solid sphere, but a hollowed-out concentric sphere.

The outer layer was a hollowed-out pattern, carved very delicately, and the inside was a small sphere.

However, according to Monka's penetrating imaging results, there may be a special substance in the center of this small sphere, which is initially speculated to be a lead core.

However, it was only speculation and could not be confirmed.

The reason for this speculation was that lead has a greater shielding effect on alpha particle streams.

Therefore, after the final screening, there were still 9 suspicious items, namely:

3 jade cong, 4 bronze masks, 1 lacquered gold thread puppet, and 1 hollowed-out night-shining pearl.

These 9 items each had strange features and could not be further excluded.

If you want to further identify them, you can only release nanobots or salvage them.

“So what do we do next?” Monka asked.

“Wait. Wait for them to come down and then talk.” Dongfang Chen Er replied.

You really can't move now, in case the scene is destroyed, it will be discovered by the Zerg.

“I think what they are looking for may not be these things.” Monka said.

“What do you mean?”

“Think about it. If Guiguzi has always been in control of the Lost Deity, how could he be in this place that no one has come to for generations?” Monka said.

“Then how do you judge that what they are looking for is not a jade cong or this night-shining pearl, but the Lost Deity?” Dongfang Chen Er asked back.

“Uh… … This… …” Monka was speechless.

There was indeed no evidence to show that they were definitely looking for the Lost Deity.

“Dad, is it possible that the Lost Deity is not in Guiguzi's hands?” Nata asked.
