Burning down my ex-husband's house! I won't raise these bastard children anymore

Chapter 227: Ming Bronze Elephant Ear Xuande Furnace

However, as long as Lin Weimin likes it, Lin Panpan will teach him everything she knows. Now Lin Weimin is fully capable of standing on his own in the black market, so Lin Panpan does not need to go there for the time being.

Lin Panpan went directly to the warehouse, where only a small part of the goods had been sorted out in two days.

Lin Feng raised his hand and casually wiped the dense beads of sweat from his forehead, and said in a tone full of disappointment:

"I don't think I found anything good today. Look over there, it's just a pile of junk.

I don’t see any use for them, and I have no idea what they do.”

Lin Panpan said earnestly:

“You can’t live your life questioning every day whether you’re going to find something useful.

You have to keep yourself calm and don't be too anxious. When people are anxious, they tend to panic and end up making mistakes.

Let me first see if I have any results today, shall I?"

Lin Panpan found a relatively clean stool and sat down. She calmed herself down, then picked up the flashlight, turned it on with a "click", and stared at the pile of scrap metal.

Her hands flipped through the pages gently, her movements cautiously, afraid of missing any details.

The flashlight's light moved constantly with her movements, illuminating the mottled rust on the objects.

Lin Panpan's hands kept rummaging through the pile of debris. Many rusty iron pipes were overlapped in all directions, and the walls of the pipes were covered with thick rust.

Broken gears were scattered among them, some of which were still connected to small pieces of twisted shafts.

Several deflated copper pots lay askew, their bodies full of dents and green rust spreading like moss, covering up their former color.

There was also a pile of iron chains, interlocked yet loosely tangled, the links looking dull and gray with rust.

Next to it were some broken metal tools. The wooden handle of the hammer had long since rotted away, leaving only a rusty hammer head.

The opening of the wrench was deformed and twisted and could no longer perform its original function.

These are of no use at all. Lin Panpan continued to search. While she was searching, her eyes suddenly lit up.

In the gaps between a pile of rusty iron pipes and broken tools, an incense burner was half-hidden.

The furnace is made of gold and copper. The furnace body is regular in shape, with a straight mouth and two elephant ears on both sides. The elephant head has thick eyebrows, almond eyes, a long upright trunk, and a natural and delicate expression. It is decorated with the auspicious meaning of "peace and prosperity".

Looking at the bottom of the furnace again, the six words "Made in the Xuande Period of the Ming Dynasty" clearly come into view.

The font is regular regular script, the strokes are strong and powerful, yet round, and the engraving is extremely clear.

"This is a Ming Dynasty bronze elephant-ear Xuande furnace. It's in really good condition..." Lin Panpan remembered that she had seen it by chance at an auction in her previous life.

It seemed that it was sold for more than 100 million in 2019. Lin Panpan’s memory is now extraordinary. She has a very deep impression of anything she has come into contact with in her previous life.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to draw blueprints of agricultural machinery.

Many of those drawings were sent down by Zhou Rong’s school at the time. Tsinghua University had quite a lot of drawings, of various kinds.

In order to help Zhou Rong complete her studies smoothly, Lin Panpan devoted herself to helping Zhou Rong complete her graduation thesis during that period.

Although she knew nothing about mechanical design and was a complete layman, her unyielding spirit made her plunge into the ocean of mechanical knowledge.

Those complex professional terms and abstract mechanical principles were like insurmountable ravines standing in front of her.

But she gritted her teeth, studied word by word, circled and drew on the book with a pen, and when she encountered something she didn't understand, she immediately looked up various materials, not missing any details.

During the day, she would go to the school library, searching for inspiration among the piles of mechanical design drawings.

The dense lines and symbols on the drawings dazzled her at first, but she did not give up and studied them carefully one by one.

From simple component design drawings to complex complete machine assembly drawings, she constantly pondered the design ideas and recorded every key design point in a notebook.

At night, she sat under the desk lamp, facing the computer screen, her eyes bloodshot, still sifting and organizing useful information from a large amount of academic materials.

Finally, after countless days and nights of hard work, a paper that embodies Lin Panpan's hard work was born.

When Zhou Rong handed the paper to the professor with trepidation, the professor's eyes lit up instantly.

The professor flipped through the pages, sometimes nodding slightly, sometimes showing an expression of approval.

After reading it, the professor couldn't help but applaud:

“This paper has a novel perspective and rigorous argumentation.

It can be seen that he has consulted a lot of information and has a very deep understanding of mechanical design. It is rare, really rare!

There are still many shortcomings, but it’s not a big problem. I will mark them for you when the time comes and you can go back and make the changes.

In our line of work, we must be extremely meticulous. Zhou Rong, please make some more revisions."

As soon as Zhou Rong entered the house, she slammed the paper on the table, her face full of anger, and shouted at Lin Panpan:

“How on earth do you do things?

I thought you had put so much effort into it that it would be foolproof!"

"Take a look." Zhou Rong grabbed the paper and waved it in the air:

“The professor marked so many errors!

Couldn't you have been more careful then?"

Lin Panpan was a little overwhelmed by this sudden accusation.

She opened her mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Zhou Rong: "Do you know how important this paper is to me? You said you would help me every day, but in the end, it was all wrong!"

"I'm not familiar with those mechanical design things, I've tried my best..." Lin Panpan said in a low voice, with a hint of grievance in her voice.

"Hard work? And so many mistakes come with hard work?" Zhou Rong didn't listen to her explanation. "If you had told me from the beginning that I couldn't do it, I would have found a way myself. Now look what I've done, and the professor is blaming me for nothing!"

When Lin Panpan thought about her past life, she couldn't help laughing. Why was she so stupid in her previous life?

However, at that time, she truly treated Zhou Rong as her own daughter. This was not an excuse. One always has feelings for a child raised from childhood.

She sighed, but Zhou Cheng and Zhou Rong would never meet a mother who was so sincere and devoted in this life.

She really wanted to see what these two children would look like in the future.

Will I still live as carefree as in my previous life?

Lin Panpan continued to search for treasure. She carefully wrapped up the incense burner, took a deep breath, and plunged into the pile of messy scrap metal again.

There was so much junk, placed in no particular order, scattered everywhere. Upon closer inspection, most of it was parts removed from various old machines, gears, chains, screws...

There were also some household utensils mixed in. The edge of the copper basin had been knocked and deformed, and the copper candlestick was tilted to the side, having lost its former luster.

Lin Panpan checked the pile of debris bit by bit, not leaving out any corner. Time passed little by little. After more than an hour, her back began to ache, but she gained very little.
