Chapter 48O Preparation
This hat is so big that Zheng Zheng can't hold it anymore. But now, Zheng Zheng can't hold on, he has to hold on, this is the only chance to get in touch with the royal family.
After pondering for a moment, Zheng Zheng asked: "Mr. Anna, can your grandfather be sure that this Sphinx and the Egyptian Sphinx are made of the same stone?" I don't mean to be offended, but judging from your grandfather's level of science and technology at that time, will there be a problem with this judgment?"
"I've thought about that too, Mr. Zheng. Anna nodded, shook her head again, and said, "I've thought about this question and I've checked it. It turns out that about 90 percent of these stones are the same type of stone as the Egyptian Sphinx, and more than 95 percent of them may have been cut from the same stone. That is, the same monolith, after carving this sphinx, was carved into the Egyptian sphinx. ”
"Oh......"
Zheng Zheng knew this, but he didn't give up, because he heard a very sensitive word in Anna's words. He asked, "About 90 percent of the stones are the same, and what about the remaining 10 percent?"
Anna shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know about this, and I have also identified the other ten percent of the stones that don't match the Sphinx." The results of the identification showed that the 10 percent of the stone could be a meteorite or something. Because careful study necessarily destroys the stone itself, only such a vague result can be obtained. Although these stones don't have much to do with the Sphinx, they are left by my grandfather, and even if they are just ordinary stones, they have a lot of significance to me. ”
Looking at Zheng Zheng's expression, Anna said, "Mr. Zheng, please rest assured, these stones have been confirmed to be from the same stone as the one on the Sphinx, and this cannot be wrong. You don't have to worry about the authenticity of these stones, just let it go. ”
"No ......"
Looking at the mountains of stones in front of him, Zheng Zheng had a headache. It is naturally very convenient that these stones can be confirmed as having no problems, but there are other problems in front of Zheng Zheng. He scratched his head and said to Anna, "Mr. Anna, in fact, I have some other questions......
"Is it a question that recommends you to the royal family? ”
Before Zheng Zheng could finish speaking, Anna interrupted Zheng Zheng's words and said, "Don't worry, I'm ready." When you're ready to start reconstructing the Sphinx, I'll invite the royals I've been associated with to come and visit. When the time comes, you will be able to face the royals directly and show your level in front of them. It's more convincing than I am. ”
Zheng Zheng really didn't expect Anna to have such a plan, but if you think about it carefully, Anna's abacus is really loud. When he asked the royal family members to come and visit, he could not have said anything about introducing Zheng Zheng, but just invited them over. And when Zheng Zheng restored the Sphinx, Anna was able to introduce the praised Zheng Zheng to the royal family. In this way, Anna does not owe favors to the members of the royal family, but the members of the royal family owe Anna a favor of a "recommendation master".
Anna's abacus is really loud, but what Zheng Zheng is thinking about now is really not this matter.
"No, Mr. Anna, it's not this ......" Zheng Zheng wanted to explain to Anna, not wanting to be interrupted by Anna again.
Anna interrupted Zheng Zheng's words with a wave of his hand, and said very on the road: "Ah...... I know, I know. The restoration of this Sphinx is time-consuming and no easier than other antiques. So, in return, I'll give you a sum of money that will definitely satisfy you when it's done. ”
Anna's proposal was really good, but Zheng Zheng was not concerned about this, in fact, he hadn't thought about it at all. Seeing that Anna was emotional, Zheng Zheng could only not give Anna a chance to interrupt.
"No, Mr. Anna, I am not talking about these questions, but another very important one. ”
Zheng Zheng said this sentence in one breath, and when he saw that Anna just wanted to open his mouth, he spoke before Anna and blocked Anna's unspoken words: "Actually, Mr. Anna, everything else is not a problem. The point is, you just don't have enough herbs to prepare. To restore such a statue, you simply don't have enough herbs to prepare. ”
"Uh......" Anna touched her nose a little embarrassed, and said, "How bad? I think there are quite a few of these herbs......
Zheng Zheng looked at the herbs on the table, shook his head and said, "If it is to restore ordinary antiques, it is obvious that these herbs will not be used up at all." But you're restoring a statue of this size, and these herbs simply won't be enough. ”
There are indeed a lot of herbs on the table, Zheng Zheng didn't say how much he wanted when he opened the order, it seems that Anna also bought more when he asked people to buy it, and he bought about five catties of the same. If it was only a small repair, then one-tenth of these medicinal materials would be considered a waste for Zheng Zheng. However, just looking at the profile and size of these stones, these medicinal materials are not enough to use at all.
"So...... How many herbs is enough?" asked Anna, who didn't dwell too much on the question.
Zheng Zheng calculated in his heart and said, "Based on the number of these herbs, you may need to buy three times more...... No, be cautious, and buy five times as many herbs. ”
"Hmm......" Anna nodded, "No problem." Within half a month, I will have these herbs together. ”
Zheng Zheng frowned and nodded, "In this case, then there will be no problem......
Looking at Zheng Zheng's expression a little strange, Anna couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zheng, I see that you seem to have something on your mind...... If you need anything else, please feel free to mention it. ”
"No, no, it's just some other personal matter in mind. Zheng Zheng shook his head and said with a smile.
In fact, what Zheng Zheng was thinking about in his heart was really not another private matter, but the matter in front of him.
Zheng Yonghe gave him the secret medicine before, but there was only one bottle. Although Zheng Yonghe said that the main ingredients of that bottle of secret medicine can be combined with other medicinal materials, it can be enough to support Zheng Zheng to restore many antiques, but the current situation is something that no one has ever imagined.
Restoring antiques is, to put it bluntly, to glue cracked antiques together. Therefore, although the amount of secret medicine has a little relationship with the size of the object, it still has the greatest relationship with the thickness of the object. The amount of secret medicine used for a piece of porcelain with a thickness of five millimeters on the wall of a bottle and a jade with a section of five centimeters is naturally different.
Looking at the sections of these stones in front of him, Zheng Zheng really had no bottom in his heart. Zheng Yonghe gave himself the bottle of secret medicine, can he handle it?
But Zheng Zheng can only think about this in his heart, and can't tell Anna. Zheng Zheng also figured it out, if this secret medicine is really not enough, then he will plan it first, and then ask Zheng Yonghe to send another batch of secret medicine. Listening to Anna's side just now, this is not in a hurry to repair, but to let Zheng Zheng make preparations first, and wait for him to have a complete idea, and then repair it in front of the royal family. So the time left for Zheng Zheng is quite sufficient.
After walking out of the wine cellar, Zheng Zheng suddenly thought of another thing in his heart. He asked Anna, "Mr. Anna, have any of the people who have tried to restore this statue before me left...... Something like a handbook or a plan -- if I could see that, it might help with the restoration of the statue. ”
"This ......" Anna frowned and thought for a moment, "there is a part of the record, it does exist, and it is a plan or something like that they handed in...... If Mr. Zheng needs it, I can have someone sort it out. But this one will take a little time...... In this case, after these plans are sorted out, I will have people send these materials to the hotel where you are staying, Mr. Zheng. ”
"It's fine. ”
After deciding this matter, Zheng Zheng returned to the hotel. Originally, Zheng Zheng was still thinking about being tired of being with Bai Xiaoxue for a while, but Bai Xiaoxue's intention to teach and learn remotely, Zheng Zheng leaned over with a shy face, but was driven away by Bai Xiaoxue with her little feet. Although this remote teaching is a one-way video, I can't see the situation here, but Bai Xiaoxue has done her duty as a good student, and she doesn't want to open it at all.
Isn't this self-inflicted...... Zheng Zheng looked at Bai Xiaoxue, who was learning hard, and regretted it in his heart...... Why do you have to find a remote teacher for Bai Xiaoxue? I knew this, it would be better to teach Bai Xiaoxue myself, at that time, I could teach while teaching at the same time, how harmonious and loving would it be......?
In the afternoon, Zheng Zheng was not bored, because Anna had someone send information about other people's antiques when they were restoring them.
These materials were handed over to Anna by those people, as well as plans for his father and grandfather, and in Zheng Zheng's opinion, this was not very practical. Plans are basically things that look beautiful. If these plans really work, then will it be the statue's turn to restore itself?
Zheng Zheng looked at these materials to find some ideas for other people to restore this statue, and then wrote down these ideas, and then went to the field to confirm them when he turned back. Because in Zheng Zheng's view, it is not particularly difficult to restore the statue, and the reason why these people have not been able to do this thing may be because they have taken a correct idea as a wrong idea, or they have done a correct idea wrongly, so that no one has been able to complete the restoration of the statue.
As for those ideas that are correct and those ideas are wrong, Zheng Zheng is not easy to evaluate now, so he can only verify them one by one when he starts planning for restoration in the future.
Looking at those materials, Zheng Zheng suddenly saw a plan that was different from other plans.
