"It's already pretty good."
"The difficulty of repair is already very low."
"At least you dug it out in one piece. All the objects are where they should be. You don't have to rack your brains to think about how to put them together."
"The gems are also set in place----"
"When we were repairing the golden eagle crown, many of the gold items were damaged - the agate, jade, turquoise, etc. inlaid on them were all smashed off -"
"It was the bank employees who helped break it down! Because I think the gold is inlaid with precious stones, which will not melt the gold easily and affect the purity of the gold, so it cannot be sold at a good price!"
"Those are precious cultural relics----"
"Forget it, let's not talk about what happened in the past seven years----"
Teachers gave advice, comfort, and envy through the glass window, which soon turned into gossip, complaints, and reminiscing about the past.
Shen Le stood alone in Studio, carefully following the teachers' instructions, sorting out all the cultural relics one by one, and putting them into Storage Box one by one.
Goldware, gemstones, strings of stone beads, wigs, cloaks, bone staff----
Even if there is still a little bit of organic matter or even traces of organic matter left in the soil, you should take photos of it respectfully, then take it out of the soil respectfully, place it alone and analyze the traces to see whether it is fur, felt, fabric, linen, wool, or silk;
The remaining organic matter is even better. If you extract it and test it, you can even determine whether it is wool, cow hair, or horse hair!
After all the cultural relics were placed, we began to inspect them one by one and study how to repair them one by one, in the order of easy first and then difficult ones.
Of course, Shen Le's own judgment is exactly the same as the teachers' advice. "First easy, then difficult. Start with the most stable goldware!"
He took out the most conspicuous gold crown, first used a wooden skewer and a brush to remove the dirt, and then cleaned it with Deionized Water. Then he mixed a small amount of neutral surfactant with Deionized Water, and gently scrubbed it with a soft brush.
The dirt and scale on the surface have been almost washed away, and the last stains attached to the deep stripes and cracks have also left the surface under the vibration of the ultrasonic cleaning machine.
Finally, Shen Le also threw a lot of Cleansing Spell to make sure there were no stains on it, exposing the dull gold underneath. "----Sure enough, there are also blue-greens----I knew ancient alchemy was impure----"
Shen Le muttered, raised the camera to take a macro photo, and sent it to the professors who were waiting outside. The professors were not surprised, and just reminded Shen Le: "Scan it with XRF Scanner----Look at its element types----"
"Obviously there are impure components in the gold, forget it, if it's stuck on the outside----"
"You can't remove the adhesion on the outside! The principle of minimal intervention!"
"That cannot be generalized! What Shen Le wants to restore is Magic Artifact, which is different from how we usually repair cultural relics!"
Okay, after saying a few words, the quarrel started. Shen Le shrugged, closed his ears, and began to continue repairing according to his own ideas - mainly to see whether the blue-green rust stains on it contain a strong enough spirituality, and whether it flows with and integrates with the spirituality of the Golden Crown itself.
Well, very good, they are together, there is no need to desperately remove the rust, one less process is missing! Next, just do a good job of corrosion inhibition----
He set up a high-resolution camera and 3D Scanner, took photos of the golden crown, and generated a three-dimensional model. Next, he carefully placed it on the CT machine and scanned out the three-dimensional image. "Look at the fractures! Look at the cracks! Every crack must be seen clearly! And the lines on it - which are the lines carved by chiseling, and which are the folds formed by being buried in the soil for a long time--"
X-rays penetrated the metal, Shen Le was looking inside, and the professors were looking outside. After a while, fractures, deformations, and carving lines were carefully marked.
The old professor has not repaired this nomadic-style goldware for a long time, and it is somewhat over the top. He even made a three-dimensional image of its original shape:
On the top of the golden crown, the huge raptor sculpture has a slight crack at the root of its left wing. It is not big, and it can even be said to be difficult to see with the naked eye, but if left alone, it will definitely break under long-term stress;
There is not one piece of turquoise on the top of the bird's head, but three pieces. Under the series connection of the gold wire, it can even make the golden bird nod along with the human movement, but the gold wire is about to break;
There are three breaks on the gold belt. One of them is broken and the edge is obviously deformed. It should be caused by long-term extrusion. "Let's do the correction first----after the correction, welding----"
Shen Le sighed and took out the smallest set Hammer, a wooden anvil, a rubber mallet, etc. They were all tools left behind when he first learned to make gold and made a set of golden bowls with lotus petals.
Ding-dang-dang-dang, jingle-dang-dang, tap along the lines, flattening the parts that should be flattened, and hitting the bulges with the ones that should be raised.
While playing, I listened to the nervous instructions from the teacher next door. "Be gentle - I'd rather hit lightly than hit hard. Hit it accurately one at a time. There's no rush. We're not in a hurry right now."
Lack of time----"
There is no shortage of time and control. After Shen Le hit it twice, it extended Mental Power, penetrated into the Golden Eagle, and held Hammer inside.
Dang, Dang, Dang, his hands are as steady as a rock, and the strength, angle and position of each strike are accurately calculated.
It doesn't matter if you miss, anyway, there is Mental Power down there to take care of everything!
In half a day, the originally crooked and crooked bird of prey was completely righted. Its curved wings stretched again, trembling slightly as Shen Le held it up, as if it was flapping.
The spread wings are engraved with soft feather patterns, the claws are curved and powerful, and the ruby held under the beak is like a drop of solidified blood----
"Okay! Welding repair!"
Shen Le is also familiar with this process. Laser precision welding has ready-made solder and ready-made frequency control.
The only thing that is a little difficult is that the golden crown and the previous bronze are thinner and the curvature is more complicated.
Shen Le needs to adjust its angle from time to time to allow the laser beam to move accurately along the cracks without staying too much or deflecting at any point----
"Perfect."
Hold your breath and concentrate, while operating the welding, wrap the weld seam with Mental Power and guide the flow of Qi.
Finally, the metal melts, flows, and fills the cracks, leaving only barely visible welds in the original gaps that can only be seen clearly with a magnifying glass----
"Great job! Next, work hard to finish all the goldware!"
Gold belts, gold ornaments, and all kinds of gold objects have all gone through the same process.
The winding patterns on the gold belt, although simple, are full of the wildness and power of grassland culture.
The engraved lines are smooth and full of tension. The ups and downs of the animal muscles and the moments of desperate struggle are all observed and imagined by humans and solidified in gold. "Tiger bites cow----Two tigers bite and fight----Wolf fights deer----Eagle pecks deer----"
Shen Le Carefully clean the remaining dirt on the gold belt, gold ornaments, and every texture.
When the carvings from two thousand years ago were revealed again, even he had to close his eyes slightly and concentrate in order to face the spiritual impact:
The brutal murderous intent, the ferocity of those beasts fighting to the death, and even the roars seemed to come from the carvings, and it was as if the souls of the beasts were trapped in gold----
"Okay----we still have to set it with gems--if the gems are set in it, it won't really come alive----"
There are actually quite a lot of gems recovered from the tombs. There are turquoise, agate, amber, and --- what is this? Sapphire? It can't be glass, right?
Shen Le identified, measured, and recorded them one by one. He was not from the geology department and did not know many gems. He had to look up information and ask for advice while muttering, "Why are there still shells here? The place where they were unearthed is far away from the sea and Lake Baikal! Did you get it from a trade? Did you steal it?"
"Ouch, this agate is cracked - do you want to repair it? Forget it, it feels like it was cracked when it was set in. Leave it as it is and don't repair it!"
"How did you put this thing on? The pits were deformed and fell off. The gold pieces were straightened. There are claws here."
Is this----glued on? Let me see what the adhesive is----"
He compared the shape and size of the pits on the three-dimensional model, the elemental composition of the gemstones, and the elemental composition of the traces left on the gold plate pits, trying to find the original position of each gemstone.
On the golden crown, the space for the raptor's wings is reserved for onyx;
The tiger on the gold belt has a pair of turquoise eyes;
A galloping horse on a gold ornament, with a blue gem inlaid on its forehead——
Shen Le prepares an adhesive made of natural resin mixed with Beeswax according to the results detected by the original adhesive, and heats it to
Melt and drop gently into the grooves.
Carefully place the gems and press them gently until they are cooled and fixed. "No! You are really alive! Come back!"
Mental Power poured out like a flood, pushing back the flying eagle, the charging and roaring tiger, and the galloping horse.
Shen Le took a few steps back, looked at the golden cultural relics on the workbench, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh, "The simplest thing is done----Thank God, please don't let me do anything wrong with the rest of the repair----"
He almost held his breath, put his hands together with Mental Power, and then picked up the ball of wig and transferred it to the special sink.
This lump is made of a mixture of horse hair and human hair, and has been hardened into lumps. It is mixed with enough soil and decay--I don't know what it is.
No repair work can be done until it is cleaned up!
"Rinse with warm water----"
Shen Le holds the kettle and slowly pours Deionized Water along the inner wall of the sink, letting the water cover the wig.
Then, press your hands near the wig, gently move and pat, and let the gentle water waves pass over the wig:
This is a technique he learned when cleaning fragile and decaying fabrics. It allows the water flow to take away the dirt while trying not to damage the cultural relics that need to be repaired. The poor wigs are almost carbonized. If the force of movement is slightly greater, they will fall off!
Under repeated rinsing by Shen Le, the soil gradually dissolved and peeled off, revealing the interlaced brown and black hair underneath.
Change the water, change the water, change the water again. First, it's Deionized Water, then, it's Deionized Water with neutral surface cleaner added. In other words, it's Wahaha Purified Water with silk detergent.
This process lasted for a whole day. Every half hour, Shen Le would check the water temperature and pH value. Even if the water looked clean, it had to be adjusted at any time----
When the rinsed water was basically clear and no obvious dirt could be seen with the naked eye, Shen Le began to throw Cleansing Spell onto the wig one by one.
Mental Power unfolds inextricably, and the spiritual power wraps up every hair like a breeze, taking away the last remaining soil particles and organic degradation products that should not exist. "Okay----Next, reinforce----"
A wig, whether it is human hair or horse hair, has been buried in the soil for thousands of years, and the protein has been severely degraded, and its strength has been reduced to the point where it can break if you touch it with a little more force.
Fortunately, Shen Le is also experienced in dealing with this kind of matter. Human hair, horse hair, and silk are all considered the same material.
A means of processing:
Silk Fibroin Solution!
Up!
One bottle after another, poured down with eyes closed, which made the professor of fabric repair tremble and tremble. "500 yuan----500 yuan----500 yuan again----you can flatten the wig and pour it! Or you can get a sink with a suitable shape and save some solution!"
Sorry, it doesn't exist. The local tycoon Shen Le is not short of this money.
He was very cautious in the laboratory and wanted to use a pipette to drop the solution. He poured five or six bottles very proudly until all the wigs were submerged. "Growthin!!!"
The light green magic light brushed through the hair.
Just like when they were shaped from the hair follicle cells, like when all the silk was spit out by spring silkworms, they returned to their original state. At their best, it was like going back in time. The originally dry and fragile hair gradually regained its elasticity, and the lost luster also returned little by little.
Separated by a wall, the professors held their breath subconsciously and stared at the wig on the screen, almost popping their eyes out. "Every time I look at it, it feels so magical."
"Yeah----things like magic are really unreasonable----"
"Tell me, when can we capture him and let him repair all the ancient costumes?"
"There are also ancient paintings! Ancient paintings! At least those Silk Painting! If restored like this, they can last for hundreds of years, and they won't be dared to be displayed now!"
"Wait until he is done with this task----Shen Le is not an unreasonable person, he also loves the restoration of cultural relics----"
"Look, the repair was successful!"
"So don't worry about the felt or anything like that. With this method, no one can fix it!"
"Well, it may be difficult to comb it again, remove the hair balls, braid it, etc.——"
"Let him do it slowly! We can't do it either!"
Shen Le:
Teachers, do you just laugh at my jokes like this?
At least give me some guidance!
I know that you are very handy. At least you can knit sweaters at home and tie pigtails for your daughter!
