The difference between a cultural relic and a model is that its real situation is far more shocking than the model.

There are four bronze horses that have been assembled, with thick limbs, well-proportioned proportions, fat and strong bodies, and strong muscles and bones.

The two horses in the middle raise their necks and raise their heads, and the heads of the horses on both sides turn slightly outward, moving in silence, and the modeling style is similar to that of Qinling pottery horses.

The craftsmanship of the chariot and horse is exquisite, such as the ornamental tassel, which is made of fine copper wire, which is quite similar to hemp hair.

In particular, the combination of mis-grinding and painting greatly enhances the artistic effect.

Misgrinding, refers to the different parts of the horse's body of the hair to grind, and then painted color, creating a real sense of fur.

The real and vivid texture of the details is a great achievement of the plastic art of this bronze chariot and horse.

The carriage and horse are painted all over, the pattern and pattern style is simple, bright and generous, and the painting with white as the base tone is solemn and elegant.

Coupled with a large number of gold and silver components, it looks even more luxurious and magnificent.

Director Yao said with honor: "The appearance of this set of bronze chariots and horses officially shows the outstanding achievements of the bronze casting process of the Qin Dynasty!"

Whenever Lu Zi'an picked up a part, he would personally whisper it for everyone.

Why is it difficult?

Why is it complicated?

If it weren't for his explanation, others might not have felt the difficulty at all.

"There are many parts and components of copper chariots and horses, long and short, large and small, thick and thin, empty and solid, round and square, so the requirements for the production process are very high. Director Yao looked cautious and said in a deep voice: "It is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Records of Public Opinion: "Those who are skillful in one instrument have the most cars. "Zhou Li: Examination of Work" is also cloudy: "Those who work together in one device have the most cars." ””

At this time, Lu Zi'an picked up the neck ring of the copper carriage horse.

Curator Yao became excited, and said with a somewhat excited expression: "This, don't look at it as a neck ring, this is a real gold inlaid with silver! Not to mention, the most important thing is that the melting point of gold and silver is different, under the standard atmospheric pressure, the gold is 1337.43 C, and the silver is 960.8 C!"

What's so strange about this? Isn't it common knowledge that gold and silver have different melting points?

Someone looked puzzled.

"Two substances with different melting points, but craftsmen more than 2,000 years ago spliced them together, and their indirect seams are extremely small and fine!" Director Yao was amazed, and his tone was extremely emotional: "Many people try to imitate them, but even if they use advanced equipment to conduct various experiments, none of them can reach the size of the seams of the original." ”

Are you kidding!

How is this possible?

Even the mayor of Xi'an City was a little surprised, he had not looked at such detailed data carefully before: "How could the ancients have such a delicate instrument at that time?"

Instrument?

Curator Yao smiled bitterly at the corner of his lips, shook his head and sighed: "They don't have instruments, they use the naked eye and hands. ”

It is precisely because there is no advanced equipment and tools with the help of the outside world that their achievements are amazed by the world.

Everyone seemed to see that under the oil lamp, someone squinted his eyes and carefully shaped the gold and silver into the shape he needed.

Slender as silk and as thin as a piece of paper.

If it doesn't meet the requirements, it will be melted down and reshaped.

Try over and over again until you finally meet your requirements.

And that figure slowly overlapped in his mind, overlapping with the young man in front of him and in the field.

With a single hand and a foot, Lu Zi'an's every action is clean and neat, and he only assembles it in the shortest time and the most labor-saving operation.

There is no beauty in it, but it makes people unable to take their eyes off.

At this moment, Lu Zi'an seemed to be glowing.

It was as if he was a puppeteer, manipulating the fifteen people perfectly.

The movements are like flowing water, the combination of the sixteen of them is extremely exquisite, and there is no trace of cumbersomeness in every move of everyone.

"Then Master Lu is pretending to be this now, is it a tassel?" someone praised it: "It feels very thin, like a real thread." ”

Director Yao stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, this is copper wire, copper wire is used in many places on the copper car, the diameter is generally between 0.250.8 mm, but the diameter of the tassel on the car and the copper wire on the right horse is only 0.250.3 mm." ”

In the era when there was a lack of magnifying glasses, how did they make the copper wire so fine?

Through the observation of metallographic structure, it is found that the production process is as follows: first cast into copper plates, hammered into a thin plate of a few tenths of a millimeter, and then cut and then processed.

“49。 ”

The person on the left reached for two parts and handed them over.

"This is the taper fit connection!" Director Yao raised his voice at the right time: "This is the connection of the 22 bows of the copper umbrella on the car and the silver cap!"

The connection between the bow and the bow width is tight and firm, and it is basically in place when it is unearthed, which shows how rigorous its structure is.

And after they are taken apart, they are reassembled at this time.

In Lu Zi'an's hands, there was a slow contact, and with a click, the end of the bow and the inside of the cap had a certain taper, and they were set together.

This kind of metal connection method is the soul of the copper chariot horse.

As Lu Zi'an gradually assembled it, a copper carriage and horse finally appeared in front of the world.

The height is 104.2 cm, the total length is 328.4 cm, the height of the horse is 92 cm, and the total weight is about 1200 kg!

Such a huge thing, even if it doesn't move at all, just standing there quietly like this is already an ultimate visual enjoyment.

The car is an umbrella cover, the driver is in a standing posture, the umbrella cover is round, the carriage is square, and the meaning of the sky is round.

The structure of the copper car is very precise, and the windows carved into a diamond-shaped lattice can be opened and closed freely.

The metal bridle is delicately carved with floral ornamentation, and the bridle is graceful and flexible.

The whole car is painted, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the spirit is magnificent.

What is especially rare is that the rider wears a crown and a sword, and the clothes are thick and layered, which is very textured.

Looking at it from afar, it seems to feel that its eyebrows are vivid, like a living person.

Spanning thousands of years, its momentum has not diminished at all.

The reason why cars are attractive to men is because they want to have a powerful power that they can control.

In the face of the same bronze chariot and horse, the artist saw the history of the development of art, the general saw the art of war and the battle array, and the metallurgist saw metallurgy.

Although the angle of curiosity is different, their admiration for the bronze chariot horse is incomparably the same.

Who wouldn't want to own a car like a brass chariot and horse if they had the chance?

Many people were eager to try, but in the end, because of the cherishment in their hearts, they had to suppress their excitement and look at the field expectantly.

Even high-ranking officials are not exempt from vulgarity.

The mayor's secretary is a good person, and there is naturally no need for the leader to speak on this occasion.

He went straight to Director Yao, said a few words, and pointed to the field.

After wiping the traces on his hands, Lu Zi'an returned to the lounge at the back after making sure that nothing was wrong.

Shen Mange immediately greeted him, looking at him with sparkling eyes: "Zi'an, you are so powerful!"

Taking the tea in her hand, Lu Zi'an drank it slowly, looked back at the majestic copper carriage and horses in the field, and the pride in his heart spontaneously arose.

"You see, the right horse is seated. Lu Zi'an raised his chin.

"Huh?" Shen Mange followed his gaze and said with some confusion: "That hemispherical one?"

"Yes. Lu Zi'an nodded: "In addition to the diamond-shaped pattern painted on it, it is also inlaid with 16 bright gold beads. There is also a gold and silver pattern on the umbrella pole of the car, which is very exquisite. ”

Others would only think it was beautiful, but Shen Mange was keenly aware of his unfinished words: "Wrong gold and silver...... Is it also gold and silver inlay?"

"That's right. Lu Zi'an glanced at her approvingly and gently put down the cup: "The bronze smelting and casting process of the Qin Dynasty is the inheritance of the bronze casting art of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but it has made great progress. Its smelting and casting technology has reached a very high level, and it is a period of integration in the ancient metallurgical history of China. It has reached an incomparably amazing degree in bronze smelting and casting technology, as well as in welding, metal cold working and assembly technology, indicating that science and technology have made great progress after Qin Shi Huang unified the country......"

He paused, rubbing his fingertips lightly against each other, as if reminiscing about the feel of the parts he had just handled: "I was thinking, maybe I have some simple ideas. ”

For example, when he published a book or something, although he could not write down all the details of the construction of the bronze chariot and horse, he wrote about some of the delicate steps in the production of the horse, which may be helpful to contemporary craftsmen.

Expert Dai, who had been watching silently from the side, stared at him with blazing eyes: "You will write it, will you?"

“…… Right. Lu Zi'an smiled: "Although it is not surprising......

"How come!" Expert Dai clenched his fist and waved at him, "You may never understand what a terrible impact it will have on the future of Huaxia when you make this decision!"

At any time, this kind of trust will make people feel very happy.

Lu Zi'an smiled slightly, and discussed the details of the book in detail with Expert Dai.

At this moment, Director Yao walked in, and seeing that Expert Dai was also there, he hesitated for a second, but still walked over: "Master Lu." ”

"Huh?" Lu Zi'an, who was busy with everything, took a second to glance at him, and the chat with Expert Dai also stopped temporarily.

"That's the case...... Director Yao rubbed his hands and smiled innocently, "Well, your assembly is very successful, but the appearance is still not much different from the previous results...... Just, the mayor, they want to know if it really succeeded......"

The words were very tactful, but Lu Zi'an still understood keenly.

"Oh, they want to see?" Lu Zi'an raised an eyebrow.

“…… Be. Director Yao was a little embarrassed: "If you are very busy, maybe you can ......"

It's okay to let someone else try it.

"Absolutely. Lu Zi'an originally wanted to give it a try, but he was worried that the copper carriage and horse parts were old, and if they were broken, he would have to pay for it.

Since someone offered it, how could he refuse?

In front of everyone's eyes, Lu Zi'an walked out slowly wearing a dark green robe.

When he walked towards the copper chariot horse, the original intimidating momentum of the copper chariot horse was stunned.
