I have never worried about the need to remove hair balls from sweaters, and I have not given it to anyone, including Shen Le, who has pigtails on Artifact Spirit, so I have to fight alone.
Fortunately, keeping it in its original state, including maintaining the historical traces on it, is also part of the restoration of cultural relics. Shen Le will not fall into the cycle of removing hair balls-dissolving hair balls-adding protein back:
Most of the braids are still braided together and threaded through stone tubes, so that Shen Le won't have to waste a lot of time.
However, in comparison, the unknown object made of wood on top of the wig is more difficult to repair. "I can't tell what this thing is anymore----"
Shen Le whined. This water-logged, rotten thing, with only a very small amount of parts that can be seen to be wood. It's okay to deduce its material, but it's too difficult to deduce its original shape----
"Don't worry, cut it into pieces first, can you do it? Diagonally cut, string cut, cross cut, all of them are indispensable----"
"Don't worry! I can do it! I've cut it more than once!"
Shen Le is gearing up to work. Cut three sides, put them under a microscope, and observe the shape of the cells under the microscope:
Measure the volume of the cut wood chips, weigh them, bake them in the oven, and measure the moisture content;
Throw it into a test tube, do experiments, measure the salt content, take samples for culture, and detect the bacteria and fungi on it----
By the way, we also need to speculate on its possible shape based on the fact that the wig was distorted and deflated when it was just excavated, and the location and content of various organic matter in the wig----
Shen Le A person is so busy that he wishes he could grow three heads and six arms on the spot, or suddenly grow thousands of black hairs. Each long hair can be cut, weighed and roasted according to his will.
After three days of busy work, he finally confirmed, with the help of Senior Martial Brother from the Forestry University next door, that this was a birch tree. It was very good and was a tree that nomads could often come into contact with.
The water content and salt content have been measured. According to the data given by Ancient Ship Museum Doctor Senior Brother, throw it into the supercritical CO2 fluid device to quickly remove water and salt:
Although a piece of it was dusty and black when I took it out, it still had some strength and wouldn't collapse into a pile on the spot if I lifted it up every minute.
Only the shape is still not certain. "Why is this thing so branching? How many layers does it have and where does it extend?"
Separated by a wall, the teachers were also struggling. Computers were laid out one by one, reference books were spread out, and atlases were opened one after another. They were constantly comparing the previously scanned results. "I think this may be a triangular tube with a few poles poking on it——"
"I think it's cylindrical----"
"I think it should be thinner and rely on the branches to hold the wig open, otherwise it will be too heavy----"
"You can't underestimate the weight that ancient people can carry on their heads. Look at those Africans carrying kettles on their heads to fetch water!"
"I think this might be in the shape of World Tree----"
"Alas, it's a pity that so few of the first servers of the ancients remain. Basically, only gold and silver artifacts remain. There are too few things left for us to refer to. We can only rely on guessing."
"I think----"
"I think----"
The professors each gave evidence and were in a stalemate. In the makeshift WeChat group, pictures and texts were scrolling up one by one, making it dizzying.
Some of them were so noisy that they kept saying WeChat voice, minute by minute, paragraph by paragraph------
Until Shen Le restored the strength and material of this piece of wood, the teachers did not come up with a result. They only proposed three reference plans for Shen Le to choose.
Shen Le Looking left and right, he could only sigh, throw the wood into the sink, pour water, and then pour in plant nutrient solution as hard as he could.
Then, a series of growth spells were thrown down, guiding the wood to grow on its own. "The way you were originally - the way you were - grow back to the way you were when you were made into a wig frame - don't grow into a tree! Don't!!!"
He Mental Power unfolds, and he has to provide vitality to the remaining wood section, so that it can revive and grow again, and he has to suppress it so that it cannot grow taller randomly.
Mental Power penetrates into every detail of the wooden section, and holds it in a virtual focus, paying attention to its inherent spirituality.
As the wooden section unfolded, its spirituality became stronger and stronger, as if bits and pieces of golden light entered the wooden section, supporting the spiritual skeleton of the wooden section.
Gradually, the wooden section, which is as long as the palm of your hand and can be wrapped around your thumb and index finger, joints and thickens, growing taller and taller, reaching a height of 60 meters.
A centimeter-high wooden stick that can only be embraced by two hands.
On the wooden sticks, layers of branches extended outward. There were six branches on the first layer, three on the second layer, two on the third layer, and the dents left on the fourth layer were obviously in perfect harmony with the golden crown. As the branches unfolded, Shen Le's ears suddenly heard the sound of wind blowing forest leaves, mixed with the roars of tigers, howling wolves, croaking deer, and the clear calls of birds.
For a moment, in the closed Studio, a strong wind blew, and the fragrance of pines and cypresses was full, as if you were on the edge of the pasture a few days ago, under the Yin Mountains----
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
The professors who also smelled strange smells and heard strange noises looked around, a little confused.
Some reached out and pinched themselves hard, while others raised the amulets they wore and tried to shake them, trying to isolate them from the influence of extraordinary events.
There was also the calm one who patted his companions and glared hard. "What are you afraid of! Shen Le is next door! He will cover everything, so what should we be afraid of! -Shen Le, Shen Le! What's going on? Did something happen to you here?"
"It's okay!" Shen Le reacted, took a deep breath, Mental Power restrained himself, and deeply pressed the spirituality of the wooden frame back inside.
The vision disappeared for a while, leaving only a bare wooden stick, with its branches stretched out and poking at the spot. "World Tree! World Tree!!!" The professor who had been most immersed in searching for documents and albums jumped up. "I said it was World Tree! The ancient nomadic people had many crowns and jewelry, all of which looked like World Tree. I guessed it right!!!"
Shen Le just found a bottle, inserted a wooden stick into it and fixed it, then took out the gold medals, jade carvings and bone carvings of all sizes, and hung them up one by one.
Those running wolves, turning back deer, crouching rabbits, upright marmots——
He listened to the constant roars of beasts, louder and smaller, in his ears, and kept adjusting the positions of the statues. Finally, he hung all the statues accurately back on the branches.
Finally, the moment when the golden crown and the golden eagle landed on the top of the stick, a green light shot out from the stick, turning into dots of light and sweeping in all directions:
Shen Le didn't feel much at all, but the little ones had their own reactions. Lan Zhuang, Zhong Xiaomei, and even Huang Yutong all breathed a sigh of relief:
[I feel much more comfortable!]
[What a pure wood energy!]
[So comfortable! My beams, my doors and windows, and the furniture in my room are all nourished----]
Even the teachers outside the wall felt it. They shrugged their shoulders, twisted their necks, and hammered their waists with their backhand. "It feels so comfortable!"
"What happened just now?"
"My neck doesn't hurt anymore! I had a stiff neck the day before yesterday, and it's still a bit uncomfortable today, but it suddenly got better!"
"Me too - my old waist - I feel like I can dance for another twenty years!"
Shen Le turned his head and smiled at them. This branched wooden stick and the sculpture hanging on it probably not only symbolize World Tree, but also reflect part of World Tree's power!
"This is really----I'm starting to look forward to how the whole set will look after repair----"
Repairing the head costume is just the beginning, and the cloak is the largest part of the project.
What's even more troublesome is that if you look at the gold medals, gold ornaments, and various beads scattered in the soil, and then feel the spirituality shining on them, Shen Le will know:
This big cloak must be repaired. Not only must it be repaired, but it must also be repaired carefully and delicately. If the first dress accounts for 30% of the spirituality of the entire outfit, then this big cloak also accounts for at least 30%!
He was not in a hurry to get started, and first turned over the photos and looked at them carefully. Fortunately, when he took out the cultural relics, he was careful and brushed away the soil layer by layer;
Even if the fragment is only the size of a palm, or even degrades to almost non-existence, it has left imprints on the soil. With those imprints, the texture and pattern of the original fabric can be analyzed, and the size of the cloak and its relative position to the human body can be inferred. "This is a double-breasted large cape, about the length of the middle of the calf----
He put each fragment under a microscope and analyzed the yarn thickness, weaving density, and weaving method;
Observe, do experiments, and test types of yarn;
Measure the size and relative position of all the fragments, and even carefully search for hair follicles in the wool, and send them for DNA testing to try to determine what animal these furs belong to----
After three days of analysis, Shen Le basically restored the original appearance of the cloak:
Woven from wool, the wool has basically rotted and deteriorated in the soil, and I can only vaguely guess that it was dyed dark brown;
Red trim at the edges, front placket, cuffs and hem, trimmed with mink:
There are remnants of embroidery patterns on the surface of Daqing, but the specific patterns are no longer identifiable----
"Otherwise, let it grow----"
Shen Le sighed. Knowing that the wool would only grow long enough, he could only break the jar and pour Silk Fibroin Solution desperately, then cast the growth spell.
Watch the wool absorb protein, grow as hard as it can, until it regains its original texture and luster, and then—it stops growing!
Not long--
"Okay----okay----it seems like we need to get a foundation for it----"
The teachers obtained the wool that best matched the length, thickness, and texture of the wool based on his measurement data:
Find someone to comb the wool, find someone to make it into coarse wool felt, find someone to cut it into a large cloak, and send it directly in.
Shen Le cut holes in the big engine according to the position of the remaining wool pieces, inserted the remaining wool pieces into it, and then soaked Silk Fibroin Solution to guide them to fuse. "Connect together! Connect together! You are connected together! Your spirituality flows!"
It's broken, and the old wool piece won't move----
"Do you want me to make a new one manually?"
"You'd better knit one." Over the loudspeaker, the professor who had been paying attention to the restoration work replied, "Of course, you can not dye the wool first and keep the difference in their original colors. Then you can tell at a glance which is new and which is old----"
"But I can't do it! I've never even made felt!"
Shen Le let out a heartfelt scream----
Well, you have to do it even if you don't know how to do it. More wool was sent to Studio, along with bows for playing wool, carding brushes, floor mats for felting, sticks and wooden boards for rolling felt.
We also specially invited the intangible cultural inheritors of hand-made felts, plus a translator - yes, the ethnic comrade's Chinese proficiency, well, the professors thought it would be better to urgently call in a translator----
Shen Le followed the inheritor's demonstration, with one command and one action, "Just rinse it with clean water! No need for too hot water! We don't need to degrease!"
"Open the bow! Play the wool! Play! Play! Keep playing!"
Shen Le:"----"I didn't even sleep on quilts anymore, and I didn't send out the old quilts at home to be spun, but I didn't expect that I could actually bounce the wool!
Bounce the wool until it is fluffy, break up the clumps, and card it smoothly. Then unfold the Kaidi pad and spread the carded wool evenly layer by layer.
Shen Le didn't have a good grasp of the situation at the beginning, either laying it thickly or laying it thinly. He soon started cheating, grabbing wool and throwing it on the floor mat one by one:
Well, Mental Power is wrapped in wool and spread out smoothly, pretending that the hand is accurate----
The fiber direction of the second layer is perpendicular to the first layer, the third layer is perpendicular to the second layer, and so on.
Sprinkle hot water of 60 to 80 degrees evenly on the laid wool, then roll up the wool-covered mat tightly and tie it with rope:
Shen Le:----Isn't this just making rice balls? Nowadays, many rice balls are made on bamboo curtains, and then rolled up with the bamboo curtains, the same!
Tie it tightly and roll the roll back and forth----
"Can you do it alone?" Across the screen, the inheritor asked a question from his soul, "It takes five or six of us to roll such a big rug together!"
"Okay!" Shen Le was confident. In fact, if it wasn't in front of outsiders, he wouldn't have bothered to work with Mental Power, so he called the little guys out together----
Knead the roller and roll the felt. During the process, keep pouring hot water to maintain the temperature and humidity of the felt, and then constantly apply pressure to the felt.
There was no one to help, so Shen Le had no choice but to hold the special felt-rolling stick with a handle and push the felt from one end to the other, and then from that end to the other end again and again.
When the inheritor finally inspected the felt and nodded to confirm that it was qualified, Shen Le slumped down and simply didn't want to work anymore----
However, the Daqing made this time accepted the ancient fragments inlaid with Shen Le very well!
Instead of just accepting it, the colors on the ancient fragments soaked into the new felt pieces like mist, making their color, texture and feel surprisingly unified.
The belt is even more convenient. The leather fragments dug out from the back of the gold ornament confirmed that the material of the belt is cowhide. I poured Silk Fibroin Solution without any thought and let it grow without any thought.
Finally, put all the gold jewelry pieces back on the belt one by one----
"Hey! Don't stand up in a hurry! You are just a piece of clothing! Clothes!!!"
