I have a request. Being a master will not stand by and watch.

Liu Lao is specialized in cultural protection. Although he is not very proficient in cultural protection of Western works of art, in terms of Liu Lao's position in the circle, as long as he makes two calls, some experts proficient in cultural protection of Western works of art will help.

Not to mention that there are many incredible treasures in these treasures. It is a dream for every expert in cultural protection to see and touch such treasures with his own eyes.

Similarly, this matter can not be publicized. After all, these babies entered the customs through illegal means. No matter what Yang Jing's purpose is, incomplete procedures are incomplete, and it's impossible to brush the ball. Therefore, the cultural protection work of these babies must be kept confidential.

However, it's hard for Liu Lao. He directly called two experts specializing in the cultural protection of Western works of art, and then Yang Jing directly spent more than $7 million to purchase a number of professional maintenance tools from abroad according to the suggestions of the two experts.

In the future, western art is absolutely indispensable, and even excavating a few more treasures is not necessarily an impossible thing. The museum itself also needs work on art and antique cultural protection, so it is quite necessary to buy a set of advanced cultural protection equipment.

Now for Yang Jing, things that can be solved with money are never called things. With a big hand, in less than ten days, that set of high-end cultural protection tools were transported to Tianqu by air.

These things can't be cultural protection in Yanjing. These babies themselves entered China in violation of regulations. If they were doing cultural protection from Yanjing, it would be like giving eyedrops to relevant departments. Yang Jing didn't want to do such a deadly thing.

Yang Jing rented the workshop of a closed small factory in the suburb of Tianqu. He rented all the houses in the yard. It took three days to install air conditioners in several offices and temporarily seal the windows. A simple workshop was formed.

It happened that Chris and his family had also spent a long holiday of 20 days at home. Yang Jing called and the twelve bodyguards immediately came to China. Twelve of them will be responsible for the security of the temporary workshop.

In addition to the two experts, Yang Jing's four masters and old man Yang, who lives in seclusion in Tianqu, all came. Everyone wanted to see these precious treasures at the first time.

For historical reasons, many Chinese national treasures are now floating abroad and can't come back. But now, the treasure that is also regarded as a national treasure by Westerners has fallen into China. These old experts say they are not excited. That's false.

When everything was ready, a container truck quickly drove into the remote yard.

Without hiring stevedores, Yang Jing and Chris worked together. In less than an hour, more than a dozen wooden boxes were all unloaded - some wooden boxes Yang Jing didn't bring with him. They were all precious stones or jewelry that didn't need to be protected, and those things didn't need to be protected.

These old experts, including Mr. Yang, all stared at these big boxes with green eyes like wolves when they saw meat. They wanted to unload one and open one on the spot.

When all the boxes were brought into the workshop, several old guys gathered around and stared at Yang Jing one by one. The meaning was very clear - you boy, open a box quickly and let me see it, or you will look good!

Well, these old people Yang Jing can't afford to provoke. Any one can train him into a grandson. Yang Jing doesn't want to find such trouble.

After Chris and them told Yang Jing by radio that everything around them was safe, Yang Jing began to open the first box.

This box contains the bronze David. Because it is a bronze sculpture, it can be operated without putting it into the argon tank. Compared with the easily damaged treasure of calligraphy and painting, sculptures such as bronze and marble are undoubtedly much "stronger".

The two experts invited by Mr. Liu, one surnamed Zhao and the other surnamed Tong, are old men in their sixties.

After the bronze "David" showed its true face, old Liu and they were OK to say, but old Zhao and old Tong's eyes were almost staring out!

They already know what they are going to do for cultural protection, and they are mentally prepared. But when they saw the bronze David with their own eyes, the two old men were excited and almost had a heart attack.

"It's really David!" old Zhao felt the sculpture with intoxicated eyes. He didn't know his expression and action. He thought the old man had rejuvenated his second spring and found his beloved woman.

Tong Lao was almost the same. He felt the sculpture with an intoxicated face and felt all the details from the sculpture with his fingertips.

However, Yang Jing looked at the expressions and movements of the two old men and got goose bumps all over.

The color of the bronze David is not very beautiful because of oxidation, but it is a male fruit sculpture of red fruit after all. If the two old men are women, it's better to say, but you are both old men in your sixties. Why are you so intoxicated with a red fruit male sculpture?

There is no need to think about this scene. As long as you look at it, those who do not have enough concentration will immediately retreat.

It may have been known that this sculpture is the authentic work of Michelangelo, so Yang Jing must think differently from these old experts.

Not to mention Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tong, even Mr. Yang and the four masters were intoxicated.

The old man, who is more than 450 years old after seven years of age, collectively shows an intoxicated expression on a male fruit sculpture of red fruit, and also touches it from time to time. This scene

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tong "touched" for more than 20 minutes. Finally, Mr. Zhao said with certainty, "this is a miracle! If I didn't see it with my own eyes or touch it with my own hands, I can't believe that Michelangelo's Bronze David still exists in the world."

Tong Lao also nodded and said, "yes, Lao Zhao is right! According to our judgment, we are more than 90% sure that this sculpture is the authentic work of Michelangelo. Of course, if we can identify it again with instruments, we will be more confident!"

In fact, if you look at an immortal work like the bronze David, you will have a general judgment in your heart.

Why is Michelangelo's David known as the top ten sculptures in the world? Why have so many sculptors been imitating David for so many years, but none of them can succeed?

The so-called "always imitated and never surpassed" refers to the peak works of such masters. It's good that such a work can be produced in hundreds of years. As for surpassing, it's almost impossible.

As like as two peas, you can print a "David" with 3D printer, which may be exactly the same as the original one, but it will definitely lack the temperament contained in the original.

Yes, it's not the master's technique that makes such a once-in-a-century peak work exquisite, but the real vitality of the work given by the master! This is the fundamental reason why masters are called masters.

The imitation works as like as two peas, but they lack the most important thing, that is, the vitality of sculpture.

Although the bronze "David" in front of us looks gloomy, we only need to take a look at it to know that this sculpture is definitely not simple. Even laymen who are not knowledgeable will have this strong feeling when they see this sculpture at the first sight.

This is the master's masterpiece! It can make people who don't know what to do feel good!

It was like Ge Ge who came back specially. She was a layman, but when she first saw the bronze David, Yang Jing around her could clearly feel the joy from Ge Ge.

The four masters and master Yang are not very proficient in Western art. But the antique works of art in the world have some commonalities. They can naturally see the excellence of this sculpture at a glance.

The works created by real masters will resonate with everyone!

Now that you have seen the bronze David, the next step is to protect the bronze sculpture.

This kind of work must be done by professional personnel, whether tools or other items, must be professional, otherwise it is very likely to damage the bronze David.

Fortunately, Zhao and Tong got the list before they came. They knew they needed to do the cultural protection of those things, so they were quite well prepared.

In fact, the things that need Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tong to do cultural protection work are mainly oil paintings. Such bronze sculptures, whether Mr. Liu or Mr. Guo, are no problem. After all, there are many bronze cultural relics in China. Many of those cultural protection work are done by these cultural protection experts in the Palace Museum.

Doing cultural protection work is very complicated and meticulous, and it takes a long time. As if this bronze sculpture needs to be protected, there are generally three methods, and the most traditional method is corrosion inhibitor protection. As for the more advanced laser derusting method and glow discharge method, although the effect is also very good, the demand for equipment is too high.

Therefore, after the discussion of several experts, the traditional inhibitor protection method was prepared to protect the bronze David.

Benzotriazole (BTA), a corrosion inhibitor, has been applied to the protection of bronzes for more than 50 years. The effect is very good and the damage to bronzes is minimal.

However, it takes a long time to use this method. There are several steps that need to be vacuumized. Another step is to keep it at a constant temperature for eight hours

Anyway, although this method is very safe, it can take a long time. It takes at least more than 20 hours to maintain the bronze David.

However, with the help of Mr. Guo and Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tong divide their work and cooperate. While maintaining the bronze David, they can also maintain the next bronze sculpture.

Yang Jing found the treasure of the last Tsar from Siberia this time, but there are three bronze sculptures in it, which is enough for these old men to be vigilant for a long time
