Chapter 1163: Temporarily increase difficulty
At this point, the outcome of the game should have been decided.
However, there was a strange smile on Zhao Yu's face.
Because it was not easy for him to find these two people. If he used ordinary pottery restoration techniques, it would be a waste of their talents.
He used his privilege to do some tricks on the two pottery figurines.
Seeing how fast they were repairing it, it wouldn't take long for something to go wrong.
This situation is when their strength is truly tested.
Lin Ran and Wu Qingniu worked together to puzzle out the puzzle. They saw Yang Mingwei's speed and used cooperative methods to repair the pottery figurines.
Although the two of them worked together for the first time, they had a great understanding.
Lin Ran was in charge of fighting in front, and Wu Qingniu was in charge of finding the next piece.
When Lin Ran saw that the splicing was almost complete, Lin Ran reached out to pick up the fragments, but Wu Qingniu shouted: "Strange, there isn't one on the table?"
"Why not?" Lin Ran thought he had overlooked it. If it was a regular competition, there would be no reason to give him a pottery figurine with a broken bottle to repair.
That's not a problem that can be solved with glue. You need at least a firing furnace.
He rummaged around the table and found no pieces of the puzzle.
But there is just one piece missing, but the other parts are perfect.
But it was this key piece of the puzzle that would prevent them from gluing the pottery figurines together.
Although Wu Qingniu is not an expert in ceramic repair, he can also see that if there is a missing piece, it will completely serve the original purpose of this competition.
He raised his hand and motioned for Qin Nan to come over.
Qinan pretended to be innocent and walked up to them and asked, "Do you two have any questions?"
"With one fragment missing, we can't put the pottery figurines back together." Wu Qingniu whispered, "Did you miss it yourself? Do you want us to bake the fragments on site?"
Qi Nan smiled noncommittally: "Mr. Wu, there is no problem with the question. You are just thinking about it."
His words are very much like a question-answering teacher for an exam. When students doubt the correctness of a question, they will come up with this theory.
As for whether there is a problem with the question, that will be investigated after the exam.
The most important thing right now is to solve this problem.
Fortunately, Lin Ran and Wu Qingniu were not troublemakers. Now that he had said so, they decided to think again.
In the end, both of them gave up the idea of continuing to ask questions.
If you keep asking, there will definitely be no results. You might as well think about how to solve this problem.
"Mr. Lin, he probably wants us to hide it in some covert way." Wu Qingniu has always believed that a clever woman cannot make a fool of herself.
The most important part of pottery figurines is pottery. There are two main methods for repairing pottery figurines.
The first is to directly restore the collected fragments, which is the most basic restoration work.
After that, it is the work of the cultural relic restorer to analyze the composition of the fragments, what materials to use, what color the appearance is, and how to age them.
However, this series of work cannot be completed in less than two days.
Unless, someone knows all about ceramics.
Of course there is also the second type.
It's just that it's quite bold and risky.
Just as Tian Hai had done before, he took out the fragments of the genuine product and used these fragments to fire them into brand new pottery.
This is no longer a restoration of cultural relics, but a high imitation.
In fact, for some extremely damaged cultural relics, this repair method is more effective.
Lin Ran stopped what he was doing and began to wonder. If Wei Chengbin encountered this problem, how would he solve it?
This man, except for eating and resting, spends the rest of his time in the ceramics factory.
Wu Qingniu took this time to look at Yang Mingwei at the table next to him.
I saw her hands and feet were light, and a beautiful bottle had appeared on the table.
There are some minor cracks, but nothing serious.
"Repair completed." Yang Mingwei said lightly.
But these words startled Qinan, who was very sure that their pottery had been tampered with.
Since it was folk pottery, I boldly hid the pieces without fear of any problems.
Qi Nan picked up the porcelain bottle she had repaired and looked at it for a while. It was perfect.
"Because of the limited time, I can't prepare clay. Some gaps can be filled with clay and glue. Of course, I don't suggest you do it. It is important to maintain the patina. Maybe the cracks on the bottle are more suitable. This artifact.”
Yang Mingwei took off her rubber gloves and asked, "Are there any other competitions?"
This confused Qinan, and he suddenly turned his back on guests, leaving Qinan unable to react in time.
Qinan said: "There is no competition, but please wait a moment, I will let the experts take a look at the specific situation."
Yang Mingwei closed her eyes, which meant that she heard it.
Qi Nan did not dare to neglect and carefully brought the porcelain bottle to Mr. Xiong.
In the past, Mr. Xiong would not have cared about this kind of folk porcelain.
Today is different.
This porcelain vase was just a pile of fragments half an hour ago.
It’s not that it was just like this when it was received, but the staff accidentally broke it during transportation.
Since it was not very valuable, it was brought to the venue as a competition.
Mr. Xiong held the porcelain vase in his hand, as if it were official kiln porcelain.
He looked at the completeness of the porcelain bottle and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a work of art. It's really a genius to be able to repair it to this extent with just the limited tools on the table."
Qi Nan whispered: "Mr. Xiong, I don't know if I should talk about something. In fact, there is actually a piece missing from this bottle."
"What?" The other judges were also shocked.
Qinan was embarrassed and lowered his head: "I think it's just simple splicing. The difficulty is too low for them, so I made it more difficult."
"You're confused, how could you do such a thing?" an old expert next to him criticized.
You cannot deliberately create problems for others just because they are talented. This will only cause the talents to move further and further away from them.
Qi Nan pointed at Lin Ran and Wu Qingniu who were still busy at the side and said: "Sir, look at them, they are still fighting for the fragments..."
The word distress was not uttered, and Qinan's eyes once again fell into pupil earthquakes.
Because the two of them actually patched the pottery vase. Although it looked very crude, it looked somewhat integrated when placed next to the cracked pottery vase.
"Fortunately, the flower beds in this square have their own clay. It is worthy of being an art school." Lin Ran wiped the sweat from his head.
Wu Qingniu next to him was not dirty either, and was stirring the clay with both hands.
There is no way to bake it, so we can only simply shape it, which treats the symptoms but not the root cause. But for the competition, we can only dry it first.
