On the evening of May 9, in a processing enterprise in Pudong New Area, two special curved beams that had completed initial processing were loaded and transported to the Lingang plant of Shanghai Electric Nuclear Power Group Co., Ltd. for finishing.
As one of the most core facilities of the Yangtze River Estuary No. 2 ancient ship salvage project, the arc beam resumed processing, marking the official restart of the archaeology and cultural relics protection of the Yangtze River Estuary No. 2 ancient ship, a major project of China's underwater archaeology that pressed the "pause button" due to the impact of the epidemic.

The reporter learned from the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism that enterprises involved in the processing of facilities and equipment for the overall relocation of the No. 2 ancient ship in the Yangtze River Estuary have obtained certificates for resuming work and resuming production.
In March this year, the largest ancient ship archaeology and cultural relics protection project at home and abroad so far, the Yangtze River Estuary No. 2 ancient ship archaeology and cultural relics protection, was officially launched. As a major project of Underwater Archaeology in China, the No. 2 ancient ship of Yangtze River Estuary was included in the "14th Five-Year Plan" for the Protection of Cultural Relics and Scientific and Technological Innovation. The ancient ship salvage migration will adopt the world's first "arc beam non-contact cultural relics overall migration technology", relying on China's high-end manufacturing capabilities, which can maximize the protection of the originality and integrity of underwater cultural heritage.
