The dispute between foreigners and foreigners can be said to be a battle of will. This is the easiest and most troublesome thing to do.

The foreigners wanted to maintain the dignity of their church, while the two foreign friends were unwilling to compromise easily.

Fortunately, everyone is a civilized person, except for the slightly louder voice of the dispute, which does not affect the viewing of others.

However, everyone's attention was not on the artwork.

With a simple translation of a few sentences and rich associations, everyone gets a pleasure that is far superior to that of a work of art. Many people put tens of millions of dollars of antiques and ignore them, and concentrate on studying high-level monkey plays, which makes people sad for the legendary artistic edification......

After a string of light that no one could see, the mark on the tiger's mouth on the left hand indicated that the Perception Scroll had taken effect.

Chen Yi didn't hesitate to take half a step forward, then took another half step, and looked intently through the cover of the huge column.

Different from the previous casual observation of small things, there were two adults hugging the thick stone pillar, and he was dizzy when he saw it.

The effect is...... Quite inconspicuous.

"Time of all elements: 36.52 million years"

Chen Yideng was dumbfounded, and now he is judging that it is the age of stone formation.

Fortunately, there is no time limit, and he has time to try slowly. If the overall judgment is not good, then work on the traces of the carving, and then you can look at the inside of the crack.

At least thousands of years of wind and rain have made the famous Satsuma Column unbearable, revealing a slight embarrassment. However, its external damage is not deep, otherwise it would not be valued by the Pope.

However, looking down the crack, Chen Yi saw the problem. The carvings on the outer ring are from 2,230 years ago, but some places on the inside, although there are no carvings, clearly show that they are from 1,700 years ago, and the material has also become a natural mixture - in other words, the cylinder, which is 500 years old between the inside and the outside, is not even a stone.

He looked at it again, and it was still the same.

It's almost impossible!

Such a famous Roman column should have been carved out of a single piece of stone, and as a treasure in the collection of the Pope, who would have hollowed it out and put some "natural mixture" in it 1700 years ago.

The more Chen Yi looked at it, the more fascinated he became, and after a while, he walked to the pillar. So the scene in the field was a little weird, two foreign old men and a handsome foreign old man, plus a young man shaking his head stood in the field, while countless high-sounding gentlemen and ladies were stupidly gathered on the side, like chickens ready to peck at the grain.

"What's wrong?" Han Jie tugged at his sleeve.

"It's kind of weird." Chen Yi also found himself in the focus of countless eyeballs, took a few steps back, turned around and asked Professor Lang, "They say that this pillar was left by the Pope?" Which one? ”

Professor Lang remembered the bottle that Tang Linze had faked, and glanced at him a little highly, so he said after a little calculation: "Actually, the thirtieth Pope, St. Marseille I, he only did it for one year, about the time of the third hundred years AD. ”

Fortunately, he came from an archaeology department, and if he were an ordinary Catholic, he might not know so well.

Chen Yi's eyes lit up and said, "That was 1700 years ago?" ”

"That's right." Professor Lang nodded.

Chen Yi let out an "oh", not knowing what he was thinking.

The handsome guy listened with his ears pricked up for a long time, but there was no follow-up, and his face was distorted.

After a few more minutes, two old German men and a Swiss old man finally got tired, and they beckoned the waiter to bring them a red wine, drank it in large gulps, and then studied the cylinder while preparing the next wording.

Another priest came in a hurry, he looked left and right, then pulled Steinecker over and asked, "What happened?" ”

"The two guests thought that the Satsuma cylinder was fake, and commented on it, and Alphonse was very serious about debating with them......"

"It's a little too serious." The priest spoke in English, but not quickly.

"But you know, Alphonse is such a person......" The handsome man spread his hands indifferently.

"They affected the other guests, and asked them to come upstairs to discuss." The priest spoke in a commanding tone, and turned to leave.

Professor Lang couldn't see it, he had already reached the age of relying on the old and selling the old, so he said without hesitation: "Father, I think we have the right to discuss here, and we also have the right to doubt the authenticity of the Satsuma Cylinder. ”

The priest stopped and said, "The Satsuma Cylinder is in the collection of the popes......

"That's your faith, not ours." Professor Lang snorted and said, "I believe in science, we can write papers for each other and let the world judge." ”

The professor's chubby body, but the tone is straightforward and tough.

Chen Yi was greatly excited when he heard this, and couldn't help but applaud him: "Two German gentlemen, just pointed out that your cylinder is flawed, which is also a fact, why can't you say it?" ”

The two Chinese mixed in, using Mandarin again, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and some liked to be lively, regardless of the situation, and immediately shouted: "Aren't foreigners free speech?" Tell me what's so great. ”

Freedom of speech is an American business, and the church never pays attention to this.

The priests found it a bit tricky, because they wanted to spread the doctrine and develop believers, not to fight with others. In front of Professor Lang's serious expression, he had to persuade his family and said, "Alphonse, it's not too late to settle the matter of the Satsuma Cylinder tomorrow." ”

"They can't comment on the Pope's collection, which has been handed down thousands of years ago...... Alphonse is also a stubborn old man, clutching the Bible tightly in his hand.

Churches and schools are most prolific in opinionated, and they are all in the name of righteousness. As he spoke, the two German professors had fully absorbed the energy of the red wine and started a new round of battle.

I don't know what they said, Alphonse forgot what the priest had said, and began to nag again in German, and the face of the handsome man turned purple.

The audience in the room is growing, and in contrast, the Chinese believe that the professor is better than the believer, so the wind of speech is one-sided.

All the guests present were invited by the church for future development, and if it had a negative effect, it would really anger a large group of people.

Seeing that the situation was about to expand, the priest immediately said: "Okay, let them discuss it outside." ”

His commanding appearance is a good reflection of his status at the top of the Vatican.

When I went outside to discuss, that is, I was going to drive people out, Professor Lang stood up against it, but it had no effect, seeing that the tall security and the handsome Steinecker had stepped forward, Chen Yi suddenly said loudly: "The Satsuma Cylinder is fake, the facts are there, you can't hide it, we can ask the media to witness." ”

He has not been afraid of the sky since he was a child, and now he really perceives the inside of the cylinder, and his confidence is as strong as a cow.

In front of the media, the church has never had a share of scandals, and the priest did not say a word, but waved his hand vigorously, wanting to end it quickly.

For some reason, the handsome guy stopped and asked in Chinese: "You said that the facts are there, then there is evidence?" ”

"Of course." Chen Yi saw it for Professor Lang's sake, and said stubbornly: "The Satsuma Column, inside and outside is not one, after it was collected by St. Marseille I, it hollowed out the center of the column and filled with other things, so it is not the original Roman column, the two professors pointed out that it is flawed, it is to respect the facts." ”

Alphonse had to listen to the translation before he understood what he had said, and the loyal believer said incredulously, "Do you know what you're talking about? Are you accusing the Pope of fraud? You're just ......."

His fingers trembled. The Church's translation studies come to life.

Professor Lang blocked in front of everyone with his huge body, turned his head slightly, and asked Chen Yidao, "How sure are you?" ”

He was so impressed by the broken porcelain that he would never have asked if it weren't for that.

"The inside and outside of the cylinder are carved from different ages, at least a few hundred years apart." Chen Yi said affirmatively.

Professor Lang looked at him deeply, didn't ask why, but walked to the front and said slowly, "It's not that serious." We can use a simple method to detect that if the density inside the stone pillar is comparable to the density outside, then it can prove that it is the same stone, otherwise it must be filled separately, thus proving Mr. Cheng's guess. ”

The priest was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is impossible, gentlemen, I have to ask you to leave." ”

Professor Lang translated Shicai's words to two other German friends, who nodded repeatedly.

The interest of the people present increased greatly, and they were all masters who were not afraid of heaven and earth, and some people shouted: "Take a look at the scene." ”

There are also people who know more: "It's like Archimedes measuring the crown, isn't it?" ”

At this moment, almost the entire banquet was gathered here, and the priest was caught off guard for a moment, but he knew in his heart that simply trying to drive people out would no longer solve the problem. If this is done, the purpose of the entire mission to China will not only be unattainable, but will also have a lot of sequelae.

He looked at Alphonse and asked a question similar to what Professor Lang had just asked: "The Satsuma Cylinder is carved in one piece, are you sure?" ”

"Pretty sure." Alphonse was religious.

The priest continued to mutter, and then, at the urging of a crowd, decided: "If everyone really wants to be tested, then out of an open spirit, we will do it once, and ask a neutral expert to verify it." In fact, there is always a misconception about us, that the church is closed, it is old-fashioned, but in fact it is not, we also apply new technology, believe in new ideas, the first explorers, the first artists, the first scientists, all come from the Holy See, we are always contributing to the world, and hope that more people can work together with us......"

Except for the first two sentences, he mainly used it to advocate and preach.

The old German man with rosacea waited for him to finish, and said slowly in English: "Who are your so-called neutral experts?" ”

"This is not the first time that the Holy See has encountered someone like you, and it is not the first time that we have explained, there will be experts to carry out the test you want, and we will try to keep it as simple as possible and not waste too much time."

In fact, he still has the idea of stalling for time.

Chen Yi interjected unconsciously: "Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome, just pry a little bit from the crack of the stone pillar, take a little stone from the inside, and then compare it with the stone outside to measure the density." ”

"Pry open the Satsuma Cylinder?" Alphonse looked like he was in a desperate position.

Chen Yi shrugged innocently and said, "Isn't this the easiest way? ”

There were many people present who nodded in agreement, but he was not the only one who didn't know the value of firewood and rice.
