Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Obviously, Mr. Frey was doing very well in business, so when Liang En said that he needed some more professional equipment to handle these boxes, he directly helped Liang En find a professional laboratory at the University of Munich. room.

What should we do next? I think if we want to sort out everything in these boxes, it may take more than half a year. After moving the boxes into the laboratory, Jeanne looked at the pile of boxes and sighed.

Although she is not a professional in this field, she has a certain ability to judge such things after seeing so many things around.

Compared with those documents that are hundreds of thousands of years old, these documents that are only more than half a century ago are naturally much simpler to process, but eight boxes of documents are not so simple to process.

Of course it is impossible to deal with all of these. After all, our goal is not to find out what is written, but to find out what Mr. Frey's father did back then.

As Liang En spoke, he walked to the boxes, then pried open the lids of the boxes and took out stacks of documents and placed them on the table.

If this is the case, we don't need to know what is written in this thing, but we only need to understand the general situation and make simple inferences.

You are right, I should have accidentally mistaken our target before. Joan of Arc also took out a thick pile from the box and piled it on the other side of the document. So let's clarify the contents of these documents first.

File repair is a very professional job, but if you want to figure out what is written on it, you can use some advanced techniques to save most of your time.

This is mainly because in the past, writing on paper would definitely leave traces on the paper, so now you can basically restore the text by simply scanning it.

However, this method can only be used for things written on paper, and parchment or vellum paper is often modified by ancient people repeatedly, and it is likely that all the modifications made more than a dozen times will be visible at one time.

So in the next two days, the two of them carefully took out documents one after another from the box and scanned them.

In addition, they also checked the two notebooks that were relatively well-preserved, and found that the notebooks were all filled with too daily content, and it was impossible to tell what the other party had done in those years.

The only thing that can be known is that he must have lived a good life during that period. Whether it was accommodation, food or personal value realization, he was satisfactory. He even praised these aspects in his notebook.

I always feel a little strange. Liang En frowned the next night, because as more documents were scanned, he found that these things were completely different from what he imagined, Why are some weapon designs picture?

What's weird about this? After hearing what Liang En said. Jeanne turned her head and asked curiously. If I remember correctly, this man is a weapons design expert himself, so is there anything wrong with having weapons diagrams here?

Of course it's abnormal. Liang En shook his head, These are not just simple line drawings, they also include some of the most detailed machining drawings. It's just that there are no signs.

In other words, with these drawings we can even recreate these weapons 1:1, and such detailed drawings should theoretically be a secret at that time.

Theoretically, these things should be stored in the design departments of various arms companies, rather than in a private basement like now.

Could it have been transported to this place in the chaos after the war? Jeanne asked after thinking for a moment. You said before that before the war ended, you scattered and hid many things in various places outside—

Yes, but it's not like these things are hidden by German officials, because if they were German officials, they wouldn't put these things in such a mess.

I have to say that the Germans are still very serious in some aspects. For example, regarding these documents, the archive managers of the arms companies will put similar documents together and will never pile different contents together like they do now.

In addition, under normal circumstances, these documents will be packed in containers with constant temperature and humidity in advance, and can be taken away if necessary, instead of being placed in some ordinary wooden boxes like now.

Then where do you think these things come from? Joan of Arc frowned as she framed the drawings on the computer screen. At least there are secrets in these things.

You're right. Not many ordinary people can have such professional drawings. Liang En nodded, But before that, I need to contact a few people to find out what is drawn on those drawings?

Although Liang En was a military enthusiast, he still couldn't identify the models of these weapons in detail. Fortunately, he was able to find some professionals through Pierce's connections.

500 euros, is this the price of knowledge? After hearing the other party's quotation, Joan was a little surprised, because she felt that it was a bit expensive to pay so much just to recognize a few pictures.

Yes, because these things can't be found on the public Internet at all, so we can only ask experts, and this kind of labor cost is always very expensive. Liang En nodded.

In fact, the cost of consultation like this has always been very expensive. For example, if the group of people now want to consult me ​​on historical issues like this, my fee may be more than 3,000 euros.

Obviously, this industry is also about brand effect. Compared with a top scholar and an ordinary businessman, even if they answer the same question, the price will be different. That is mainly because their credibility is different.

But then again, although the consultation fee is relatively high, professionals are indeed professionals. Just two days after sending the picture to the other party, the other party not only gave an answer, but also refunded 300 euros.

The reason for their refund was simple, because they couldn't figure out what models these artillery pieces were, so they could only send over the analysis. In this case, according to the rules, some fees will naturally be refunded.

So after waiting for a day, we still haven't been able to get the exact information about these weapons, right? After looking at the email sent, Joan sighed helplessly.

Yes, and no. Liang En said after carefully reading the information, Although the specific model is not mentioned here, these analyzes can provide us with important help.

After all, weapons are designed differently to face different situations. For example, during World War II, the Japs had been coveting China, so there were many parts in their weapon designs that were specifically targeted at China.

For example, the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun, and the dust cover on the Type 38 rifle are all part of this design. For example, European artillery considers mechanization, so the original wooden wheels are turned into rubber wheels. .”

So as long as we analyze all these weapons, we should be able to narrow the scope of our investigation and roughly determine the target. This will be a more troublesome process, but it is not difficult.
