Chapter 498 The Power of the Bronze Scale
The Sphinx's four-legged appearance has made these people unacceptable, and it has begun to make others question Zheng Zheng. However, Zheng Zheng didn't have much feeling about everyone's reaction in his heart, because what he was going to do next was even more inconsistent with the standards of the Egyptian Sphinx.
Regarding everyone's reaction, as well as everyone's reaction after he will complete the restoration, Zheng Zheng has been prepared in his heart. The only thing he can do now is to ignore everyone's gaze and finish what he has to do.
What supported Zheng Zheng to do so was the answer given by the bronze balance.
On the same day, when Zheng Zheng inadvertently saw the bronze scale, he saw a half-completed sphinx appear on the weighing pan of the bronze scale.
The reason why it is said is half is because the appearance of the Sphinx on the weighing pan of the bronze balance is incomplete. Moreover, this "incompleteness" is not the "incompleteness" as common sense says, but an incompleteness that "lacks the East and the West".
It is difficult to make a precise generalization of this situation, because at that time, in Zheng Zheng's eyes, on the bronze weighing pan, Zheng Zheng could see the bottom of the main body of the Sphinx, and he could also see the head of the Sphinx. The rest of the space is a large blank space, with a solitary stone suspended in these blanks.
To put it simply, it's like drawing a sphinx on paper and then rubbing it with an eraser without following any rules to create some blanks. Zheng Zheng saw on the bronze balance that it was this kind of sphinx, which was scattered and lacking.
After seeing this, Zheng Zheng was excited, and then he made a simple inference based on the image of the Sphinx he saw on the weighing pan, and came to an answer: but any stone that he touched would appear on the weighing pan of the bronze scale. The stones he touched could be from one part or another. The bronze weighing pan arranges the stones in their proper position.
This would explain why the Sphinx appears on the weighing pan of the bronze balance with a large blank space. Because Zheng Zheng did not touch these stones one by one, the bronze balance can only show the stones that Zheng Zheng has touched, and for those that Zheng Zheng has not touched, he can only leave them blank.
In Zheng Zheng's opinion, this should not be the ability of the bronze balance to suddenly arise, but Zheng Zheng has not been exposed to such a thing before, so he doesn't know that the bronze balance still has this function. But for this, Zheng Zheng didn't have much time to think. He wasted no time in coming to a conclusion, and touched the stones while holding the bronze scale.
Sure enough, every time Zheng Zheng touched a stone, there would be an extra sphinx on the weighing pan of the bronze scale. After Zheng Zheng touched all the stones, the image of the Sphinx on the bronze balance was complete.
How so...... Zheng Zheng was really stunned for nearly two minutes after seeing the full shape of the Sphinx formed by the bronze scale. Not to mention others, even Zheng Zheng himself couldn't accept the shape of the Sphinx for a while. However, it is one thing to accept it or not, the bronze balance does give a complete image of the Sphinx. Although compared to the reconstruction of the Sphinx given by Berg. This is even more shocking...... But it's much better than Zheng Zheng's current helpless situation.
To believe, or not to believe?
Zheng Zheng didn't spend much time thinking about this issue, and after realizing that it was not okay not to gamble, Zheng Zheng decided to defend himself. In the next hour, Anna won Zheng Zheng, Zheng Zheng firmly remembered the image of the sphinx given by the bronze scale. As for the question of which stones should be placed where, Zheng Zheng can only remember them with all his might. Fortunately, after the bronze balance gave the sphinx, as long as Zheng Zheng touched a stone, there would be a corresponding piece of sphinx on the bronze balance that was more obvious than other positions, otherwise Zheng Zheng would not gain anything even if he was desperate to remember.
In fact, with the bronze balance in his hand, Zheng Zheng didn't have to spend so much effort, and he could watch it on the spot. However, Zheng Zheng had to take into account the situation on the scene, and he really couldn't use the bronze balance too much. It's okay to use the bronze balance as an ashtray and touch it when you play the ashes, but how can you explain it if you keep carrying the bronze balance to restore the Sphinx? Although it can't be explained from common sense, Zheng Zheng doesn't want to let the bronze balance attract the attention of others because of this.
However, Zheng Zheng still has a way to cut corners.
After gluing the six stone pillars, Zheng Zheng wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, conveyed a signal to everyone that he was "I am tired", and then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
While relying on his own impression, he took out the stones that should be put together and put them together, Zheng Zheng smoked a cigarette quite skillfully. said that it is a skill, but in fact, it is how to keep the cigarette ash from falling, otherwise it will not be easy to sing in the future.
Seeing that the cigarette ash was already two or three centimeters, Zheng Zheng stood up, walked to the table and took the bronze balance, and flicked the ash on the weighing pan of the bronze scale. Then Zheng Zheng took a cigarette in his mouth, held the bronze balance in one hand, and walked to the stones again.
Putting the bronze balance in his hand beside him very casually, Zheng Zheng took a cigarette in his mouth and began to work on the matter at hand again.
It stands to reason that Zheng Zheng's behavior of restoring the Sphinx while smoking seems a bit unprofessional and not serious enough. But it also depends on how you look at it, and it also depends on who is watching it. There are also people among the crowd who think that Zheng Zheng is a bit rude to do this, but in the eyes of more people, Zheng Zheng's performance is more confident in himself. Besides, if you are an archaeologist and a member of the art world, it is understandable that you can be casual.
Therefore, after Zheng Zheng did this, no one expressed obvious dissatisfaction with this, and they all watched quietly. His act of smoking fell in Zheng Bei's eyes, and he was naturally an image of "soil buns", "mountain cannons", "shame" and "no manners", but Zheng Zheng didn't care what other people thought, let alone what Zheng Bei thought in his heart.
According to his own memory, supplemented by the help of the bronze scale, it didn't take long for Zheng Zheng to spell out a section of the Sphinx on the ground. Others naturally couldn't understand what position this section was, but Zheng Zheng knew in his heart that this section was the lowest layer of the main body of the Sphinx.
Glue all the stones in this layer with secret medicine, and Zheng Zheng will fiddle with the other stones.
If there were no bronze balances, Zheng Zheng would still be quite troublesome to get them. However, with the help of the bronze scale, every time Zheng Zheng picked up a stone, he could know where the stone was.
In order to facilitate the final splicing, Zheng Zheng's plan was to put the stones together layer by layer, and finally stack the assembled layers together to become the main body of the Sphinx.
In this way, combined with the bronze balance, Zheng Zheng can roughly find out where the stone should be located every time he picks up a piece. If it is the current layer to be spelled, put it aside, and then give a large open space, and then find the same layer as this stone, and put that stone on this open space.
Insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness. Others watched Zheng Zheng put these stones one by one, and finally formed a complete stone wall, which is a rarity. But as far as Zheng Bei is concerned, he was frightened by Zheng Zheng's approach.
What should I do to restore the extremely broken porcelain? For the kind of porcelain with a surface pattern, it is still possible to splice it according to the pattern on the surface of the porcelain fragments, and after this part is completed, the remaining part is basically a fill-in-the-blank question, without much trouble. But what about porcelain that has no pattern on the surface, which is itself a color, and which itself is quite broken?
If you do this alone, it is to put the porcelain together piece by piece, and if it is right, it will be right, and if it is not, it will be replaced with another piece, which can be said to be matched piece by piece. If there is a professional assistant to help, then he can copy all the porcelain pieces, and then cut out these copied patterns, just like a jigsaw puzzle. The most labor-saving way is to cover a piece of paper on the porcelain piece, and then carefully grind it on the paper with charcoal, grind the shape of the porcelain piece on the paper with charcoal, and then put it together piece by piece.
It can be said that none of these methods are tricks. Whether it's drawing or drawing, or just taking the porcelain piece right, in the final analysis, it's a kung fu job, no matter how the method changes, it's all piece by piece.
It's still a small piece, and if it's a large piece that's broken into slag, it's even more troublesome, and it takes too much energy. For example, if you have a large piece and know what it will look like after restoration, you can first make such a one-to-one ratio paper mold with hard paper, and then paste these porcelain tiles one by one on this paper mold. The paper mold is plastered, and the large piece is considered to be restored, and the paper mold inside is soaked in water and then poured out, and it is considered complete.
If I had to say anything, it seemed easy. But when it comes to the large pieces that use this method, it is basically when the body is too broken, the body is too large, and the number of fragments is too large, and there is no way to fight together piece by piece. And this pays attention to a sequence, that is, you have to spell out the bottom first, and then go up little by little, and little by little like a wall. Only in this way can the paper mold not be deformed, otherwise it will have to be reversed.
Like Zheng Zheng, there has never been.
