The restoration of cultural relics starts from the live broadcast

Chapter 251 Repairing the Copper Car (Seeking Subscription)

Fortunately, no painted terracotta warriors have been found yet, so Chuhe doesn't have to worry about the colors fading.

Because the Terracotta Warriors and Horses have discovered several pits, in the latest investigation, they found that there was still No. [-] pit, so they excavated that piece of land.

They found a lot of pottery fragments these days, and after carefully taking pictures and making backups, they also sent them aside, waiting for the arrival of cultural relic restorers.

Chuhe squatted on the ground, pinching the upturned new soil, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He also visited Qinshihuang Mausoleum once before because of the reconstruction of Daming Palace.

At that time, the excavation work of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum had been preliminarily completed, and the deeper interior was not planned to be excavated.

Therefore, when the country restarted the excavation plan of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, Chuhe saw the inside of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum for the first time.

When the six countries were unified, almost all the wealth in the world was concentrated in Xianyang, and a large part of it was brought into the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

There are records in the history books that year, Qin Shihuang once gathered all the weapons in the world, and then cast twelve bronze men.

But people have never found it. Maybe Chu He walked step by step into the periphery of the Emperor's Mausoleum, looked at the surrounding environment, and wondered if he would get a glimpse of the secrets inside the Emperor Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum after completing his mission.

While thinking about it, Xu Yiming brought someone over, who was the leader of the archaeological team.

"Are you all restorers from the Tianjiang Sect?" The speaker was an old man with white hair, and he looked very kind.

"Yes, my name is Chuhe." Chuhe said respectfully.

Yang Shuo and others also said their names.

Xu Yiming introduced from the side: "This is the archaeological team leader responsible for reopening the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, Wang Xiubo."

"Hello, Mr. Wang." Chu He and others greeted.

"Why don't you notify me in advance when you come, so that I can send someone to pick you up." Wang Xiubo said very politely.

"No need, Mr. Wang, they are all young people. They came here for work, not for enjoyment." Xu Yiming helped to explain.

This sentence is actually true.

Do not be impatient when engaging in archaeology and restoration of cultural relics.

You can use it as a means of survival, but you must not treat it as your own capital and show it off everywhere.

Wang Xiubo nodded. Over the years, it is still rare to meet these talented young people in front of them, but they are not proud of themselves.

"In that case, let's be direct." Wang Xiubo beckoned, and the staff below came over, holding stacks of documents that had been sorted out.

These are the list of damaged cultural relics excavated from Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.

Each page is a cultural relic, with notes on it, including the name of the cultural relic, its use at that time, as well as the damaged parts and areas that need to be repaired. Everything is written clearly.

When Chuhe took the list, he felt that it could save a lot of work.

He flipped through it casually, and found that the first ones registered were two bronze carts from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

These two bronze chariots, including horses and chariot bodies, had fallen into pieces in the grave pit when they were discovered.

In the subsequent collection process, among all the cultural relics, the degree of damage is the most severe.

Xue Lanqi was looking at the photo beside her. When she saw such a severely damaged cultural relic, she couldn't help frowning and asked, "Chuhe, what?"

Chuhe knew it well, but nodded slightly.

"Chuhe, we invite everyone to come here this time, mainly to let you see if this cultural relic can be repaired?" Wang Xiubo said with some concern.

In fact, they have already made an evaluation and think that this cultural relic is difficult to restore.

Of course, they took photos to authoritative cultural relic restorers in China, and they all said that it would take a long time and effort even if it could be restored.

Looking at the photo, Chuhe couldn't help thinking deeply.

Its body is too huge, and there are too many fragments. Just installing these fragments in their original positions is a matter of extreme mental consumption.

Let alone glued back.

This workload alone is not something that ordinary people can challenge.

Chu He rubbed his head, feeling a little headache from these fragments.

Even if the repair is not difficult, the mechanical repetitive work is very uncomfortable.

But Chuhe nodded in the end, because he wanted to find out what the secret of the terracotta warriors and horses was hidden in his mind, and why there was nothing left after receiving the reward.

It would be nice if some clues could be found during the restoration process.

What's more, this trip is for the terracotta warriors and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

Wang Xiubo was surprised after seeing Chu He nod.

"Really?" Wang Xiubo also looked surprised.

"Yeah, if Mr. Wang doesn't believe it, I can show it to you now." Chu He said with a smile.

Of course Wang Xiubo will not let Chuhe repair it now, after all, they are all guests.

But seeing that Chu He was very interested, he took them to see the damaged cultural relics.

Chang'an has a studio dedicated to the restoration of terracotta warriors and horses.

Chuhe was lucky enough to visit before.

For the cultural relic restorers there, countless pottery fragments are excavated from the tomb every day.

And their job is to glue it together.

This is a very difficult job.

These archaeologists have simply classified them and will not subdivide them, because some of these parts belong to one terracotta warrior and horse, or they may belong to several terracotta warriors and horses.

The staff is busy every day, not only to classify, but also because the terracotta warriors are hollow, so when gluing, not only the external bonding of the terracotta warriors and horses must be considered, but also the internal bonding of the terracotta warriors. .

In the 70s, people still relied on experience to glue them together. Later, with the modern and advanced endoscope, it was much more convenient.

Chu He asked Wang Xiubo and others to investigate the location of each fragment. In the past, it would have taken a little bit of gluing, but there might be some mistakes.

But now it is much more convenient, as long as each fragment is modeled with software, it can be automatically pieced together by computer.

Both efficiency and damage to cultural relics are much smaller.On the Chu River side, the main task is to clean up.

Other members of the Tianjiang Sect also worked with Chu He to clean up cultural relics.

Although archaeologists have some cultural relic restoration skills, they still appear to be laymen in front of professional personnel.

There was a set of tools in front of Chuhe. First, he picked up a knife, dropped it on the pottery slab, and then stroked it lightly, and a piece of soil peeled off from it.

The whole action was done lightly, as if it were very simple.

The staff responsible for registering the pottery sherds looked at each other in blank dismay. They thought that each of these children in front of them should be no more than 25 years old. Why are they so powerful?
