Exploring the Secret: Dig the Mausoleum of the First Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 128 Sanxingdui Ruins ([-]) - Bronze Mask
By the time Qin Chen started to repair it, the number of online viewers had reached more than 400 million.

Feng Lao also saw the live broadcast and heard the secretary report.

"Old Feng, the number of online viewers has reached more than 400 million, and the number of people in the live broadcast room is still pouring in."

"What's your opinion?"

"Mr. Feng, you have really good vision. This live broadcast alone is more effective in promoting archaeological cultural relics than holding a hundred cultural relics tour exhibitions."

"That's right! Qin Chen really surprised me. Archeology shouldn't be shelved and let ordinary people watch it face to face. In fact, archaeology is not mysterious. This is indeed an unprecedented way of publicity."

"Old Feng, there are still many students commenting below, saying that they will also apply for the archeology major in the future."

"Haha, it would be great if that were true! After so many years, it has been difficult to sustain the talent of archaeologists!"

……

Repair the scene!

The bronze mask was washed with deionized water and soaked to remove soluble salts last night.

The whole body of the original bronze mask was severely corroded, and partly powdery rust was obvious.

But after cleaning, you can clearly see the huge color change.

Qin Chen said to Du Wenyan: "Actually, there is no need to pursue perfection in everything. Sometimes incompleteness is also a unique beauty."

Du Wenyan nodded. The four principles of restoration of cultural relics are to protect the status quo, restore the original, eliminate hidden dangers, and prolong life.

Maintain the original artistic style, historical information and scientific value of the device, reduce human intervention, and effectively protect cultural relics.

"You are still young, and you have a long way to go, so don't hold on to your family's tricks. This is not conducive to your development and will limit your vision."

"There are five families of bronze restoration in Xia State. Your Du family in Shanghai, with your skill of turning stone into gold, was able to enter a family of two schools and eight sects, but the rest of the Xijing Wang family, Guangling Yu family, Langyanlou family, and Jingdu Lan family don't have any of them. There’s nothing redeeming.”

Qin Chen taught Du Wenyan like an elder.

As for whether the other party can listen to it, it is his business.

"I will choose the restoration technology of your five families for this restoration!"

Du Wenyan's whole body seemed to have heard the explosive news of the destruction of the sun.

"You will?"

"Try it and you'll know!"

As soon as Qin Chen finished speaking, he picked up a lead weight and said, "The Wang family of Xijing."

Du Wenyan naturally knew that the other party meant to tell him that he was going to use the Xijing Wang family's stunt: plumb weight plastic surgery!

This method is extremely difficult. First, the toughness, shape and other aspects of the bronze must be reasonably evaluated.

Most of its techniques are mainly aimed at curved bronze wares!

Qin Chen put lead felt and other materials on the parts that needed to be reshaped, and then gently hit the bronze with the lead bob in his hand.

The rhythm is sometimes slow and sometimes slow.

Sometimes it's strong, sometimes it's small.

At this time, he is like an ancient craftsman, every hammer is full of art!
The sound of the hammer falling is like a world-class musician playing!

The sound of the hammer is a note that shakes the soul!
He hammered and polished the vacant part according to the shape, radian, and curvature, etc., to keep it consistent with the body.

After more than half an hour, Qin Chen repaired the bent part of the entire cultural relic.

Before Du Wenyan had time to be surprised, he heard Qin Chen continue to say: "The Lan family in Jingdu!"

As soon as the words were finished, Qin Chen spliced ​​together the broken and broken pieces of the original bronze mask with extremely fast movements.

The whole movement was like a dream, and the tweezers in his hand held bronze fragments like flying dragons, which made people dazzled.

The tweezers hold fragments of cultural relics, and their sections are glued with a special fusion agent!
Du Wenyan could see very clearly that there was no difference at all, and the fitting angle of each section was mastered just right!

Wait until all the broken pieces in the bronze mask are pasted on.

Qin Chen picked up the broken bronze ear again, and confidently controlled the strength and direction with his hands.

After the splicing was completed, Qin Chen directly took out a set of chisel knives from the toolbox.

There are many styles of chisel knives, such as hook chisel, straight mouth chisel... fish scale chisel, fish eye chisel, pointed chisel, stripped chisel, grab chisel, etc., which are dazzling.

"Next, I will alternately use the techniques of Guangling Yu's family and Langyanlou's family."

Du Wenyan knew that although both families were bronze restoration and chisel carving families.

However, the Langyanlou family is good at engraving huge objects, especially the overall engraving of special patterns such as inscriptions;
The Guangling Yu family used a flat-headed chisel to repair the patterns in the bronzes, which are small and delicate.

The difference is: one is grand and majestic, good at large utensils; the other is small and exquisite, suitable for small utensils or partial chiseled restoration.

Du Wenyan knows very well that the engraving technique is the most test of the restorer's skill.

It cannot help but require high artistic talent and superb technical level.

And the heart, hands, and strength need to be coordinated.

I saw that the dozens of chiseled knives seemed to be alive, and they were used by Qin Chen with perfect proficiency.

About ten minutes later, the pattern that was originally eroded by copper rust was actually carved by Qin Chen.

Both partial and overall decorations have been restored and intact!
For finishing work, Qin Chen prepared epoxy resin to seal, fill and reinforce the cracked area.

After about ten minutes, wait until the epoxy resin has dried!
The entire bronze mask restoration took four and a half hours!
The number of online netizens watching has reached more than 500 million people!
"Oh my god, it's amazing!"

"I love it, I love it, such a young master, I don't know if he has a partner!"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to apply for archeology as my college entrance examination voluntary this year."

"On the third floor, I will apply for the cultural relic restoration major next year. You will be responsible for digging and I will be responsible for repairing."

……

Du Wenyan was stunned, he knew he had lost.

Whether it is from artistic perception or restoration techniques!

From one point alone, Qin Chen's handling method is much higher than what he expected.

Qin Chen used chisel carving techniques to repair the corners of the mask's mouth, perfectly restoring the curve extending from the nose wing to the cheekbone.

And after repairing, there is no sense of violation at all!
The curves echo the elongated corners of the mouth, giving the mask a faint smile.

Du Wenyan suddenly felt the gaze of the bronze mask overlooking everything!

After the entire bronze mask is restored, it is strange and mysterious, simple and exaggerated, solemn and solemn!
After Qin Chen finished repairing the bronze mask, it immediately became a trending topic.

And the top three hot searches all belong to him!
1: The God-level National Treasure Bronze Mask has been repaired

2: The most handsome cultural relic restorer in history
3: Is Qin Chen single?
Qin Chen patted Du Wenyan on the shoulder: "Do you know why I didn't use your Shanghai school's touch-to-gold restoration method during the whole process?"

"You want to tell me that I need to gather the strengths of a hundred schools of thought and make an appointment with others."

"wrong!"

"I need to completely destroy your self-confidence. The ancients said that what can't be broken can't be built. If you don't suffer from this, the restoration skills in this life will probably stop here, and it will be difficult to improve."

When Qin Chen walked out of the repair room, Du Wenyan was alone in a daze!

Suddenly he looked towards the bronze mask!

Only then did he realize that he had overlooked a huge problem.
