Chapter 682: Driving Off Proudly

As seen by Li Du when he'd turned back time, these five Olympic rings had an extraordinary history.

Initially, people from the sports association were contemptuous of their claim. As it was their job, they had no choice but to come over and verify the claim that ”there was an important discovery regarding the Olympics.”

After arriving and seeing the Olympic rings, they were stunned for a while. Their attitudes shortly changed for the better.

The Caucasian man who was in support of Li Du was called Stanton. After hearing his words, Hans's eyes brightened and he asked, ”Stanton, sir, what's up with these five rings?”

Stanton, who was in the middle of stroking one of the ring's hollowed out embosses, replied, ”As you guys have seen, there things like ”1996,””100,” and ”Atlanta” carved on these rings. Therefore, their identities are self-evident. They belonged to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

”See the torch sculpture at the top of this ring? An ordinary Olympic ring doesn't have such a sculpture. Only the five rings that are used in opening and closing ceremonies would have such a thing.

”I speculate that these five Olympic rings were the ones lost in 2000. It's very simple to verify their identities. The materials of these five rings are very unique. They were made by polishing and grinding aluminum alloy. In order to ensure their integrity, they were coated with a layer of black ceramic and smeared with luminous substances.”

Hans, who was very surprised, said, ”They have such a sophisticated origin?”

Stanton nodded his head solemnly. ”Yes, judging by their looks, this is the set of Olympic rings that our nation's Olympic museum lost.”

It was not difficult to verify the identities of the rings. In order for the rings to light up at night to display for the visitors, their surfaces had a layer of luminous coating. People could not possibly have gone out of their way to coat ordinary Olympic rings with these substances.

The five rings were transported onto the shore by the crane. Big Quinn and Godzilla erected a tent on the shore and constructed a simple darkroom after closing the tent, before they moved the Olympic rings inside the tent.

After entering the dark tent, the five Olympic rings gave off a hazy glow. The glow of the rings, which corresponded to the color of their appearance, differed in their colors: red, green, blue, yellow, and black, as if they were under sunlight.

Even a tough woman like Rose couldn't help but exclaim, ”So beautiful.”

Stanton said, ”We can already verify their identities. These layers of luminous coatings are not ordinary. Everyone, they were formed by smearing nanosized synthetic resins, chromic chloride emulsions, and luminescent materials and substances.

”More than that, the luminous outer coatings still have a layer of a photocatalyst that has titanium dioxide as its foundation. Under light, it underwent a reaction that oxidized and dissolved organic dirt, which cleaned the luminous layers.”

After listening to his thorough introduction of the Olympic rings, Hans said excitedly, ”This is really great. We actually found such a treasure by coincidence!”

He winked at Li Du and laughed playfully, ”Li, your observational skills are really amazing. How did you discover them?”

Li Du replied, ”It was a blessing in disguise. Do you remember when I was slapped into the water by a fish? That's when I saw them. As a matter of fact, they were able to give out light at the bottom of the river.”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Stanton coughed. ”Mr. Li, Mr. Fox, congratulations on finding the Olympic museum's valuable collectibles, which have been lost for over ten years. If I may ask, how are you guys planning to handle these?”
