ps: The last chapter will be finished tomorrow, everyone can look forward to it.
"Hey, it's actually a wood carving."
At this time, Yu Feibai took the lead. After walking to this room, he immediately raised his eyes and took a closer look, and saw a sculpture placed in the most conspicuous position in the room.
At this time, Wang Guan also looked at it and saw that the carving was a Buddhist thing. Similar to the mountain shape, there are countless Buddha statues in the mountain, the big ones are an inch long and the small ones are only a few cents. The Buddha's head is as big as a grain of rice or a pea, and the eyebrows, eyes, mouth, ears, and spiral-like bun on the head are all perfect.
Next to the buildings in the mountains, there are rockeries, flowing water, flowers, plants and trees. There are thousands of monks walking on the road in front of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there is a mountain gate with a three-inch purple gold bell hanging. There are all kinds of them, which are dazzling to see, just like the landscape of the legendary Pure Land Buddhist Kingdom.
"This is the Mountain of Ten Thousand Buddhas."
At the same time, Mr. Hou smiled and said: "It is carved from sandalwood."
"That's it?"
However, Yu Feibai seemed a little dissatisfied: "Is it just a simple wood carving?"
"Otherwise, what else do you want?"
Mr. Hou shook his head and sighed: "You don't even think about how tiring it is to carve so many lifelike and countless Buddha statues in such a large piece of wood. According to our estimates, with the speed of ancient craftsmen, , without the help of mechanical equipment and relying solely on hand carving, it would take at least ten years to complete this work."
"Too."
When Yu Feibai heard this, he felt a little more respectful.
"It's a pity that things were torn apart due to improper preservation." Mr. Hou said with a smile: "We also spent a lot of effort to restore Wanfo Mountain to its original appearance."
"Has it been cracked? You really can't tell." Yu Feibai was a little surprised, because with the naked eye, the carvings of Wanfo Mountain were completely integrated. No flaws at all.
"This is made with special adhesives, carefully spliced ??together, and then processed with some craftsmanship. Naturally, it cannot be seen." Mr. Hou said casually: "After this treatment, it can remain unchanged for at least a hundred years."
"It's only been a hundred years?" Yu Feibai asked curiously: "Then what will things look like after a hundred years? Will they be completely shattered?"
"After a hundred years, it will have to be glued again." Mr. Hou said with a smile: "It won't decay so easily."
"oh."
Yu Feibai nodded and stopped paying attention to Wanfo Mountain, because at this time, he found it next to Wanfo Mountain. There is also a rather strange carving. It was something resembling a bird, placed in a glass enclosure.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????: However, for some unknown reason, there is a lively lightness in the rough style.
Yu Feibai was surprised and naturally asked curiously: "Mr. Hou, what is this thing? It doesn't look simple."
"How do you know it's not simple?" Hou Laoxiao asked.
"He just guessed."
at this time. Wang Guan revealed the mystery: "After all, the things are placed in glass covers and preserved so carefully. You can casually guess that the things are not simple."
"It's good to know, don't make trouble." Yu Feibai didn't mind admitting. Then he smiled and said: "Mr. Hou, please tell me, what is so special about this thing that it is so well hidden."
"There must be something special." As he spoke. Mr. Hou started to lie again: "I'm not in a hurry to tell you. If you guess again, you might be able to guess what this is."
"A work carved by a famous artist?"
"¡¡no!"
¡°A very precious wooden material?¡±
"No!"
Yu Feibai guessed twice in a row. Mr. Hou rejected them all, which made him a little frustrated, and then he shook his head and said: "Then I can't figure it out, at least I have to give you a hint."
"Prompt" Mr. Hou thought for a while and then really prompted: "I can tell you clearly that this is something from before the Pre-Qin Dynasty. In addition, you were right a little bit just now, but it's just not comprehensive enough. This is indeed the work of a famous artist. However, you didn¡¯t say it accurately, so I rejected it.¡±
"What do you mean?" Yu Feibai asked in astonishment: "Why didn't you say it accurately?"
At the same time, Wang Guan was also a little surprised, and he felt more and more that the sculptures in the glass cover were more precious than imagined.
In addition, even after getting the hint, Yu Feibai still made no guesses and had to ask Mr. Qian for help. Looking eagerly at ?The old man and others looked pitiful: "Stop tempting people, tell us the answer quickly."
"Haha, I knew you couldn't guess it."
Amid laughter, Mr. Hou opened the glass cover with his hands, and then carefully took out the wooden bird. At this moment, he didn't know where he pressed, and the wooden bird's wings suddenly stretched out, forming the momentum of an eagle spreading its wings.
"ah!"
Seeing this situation, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were stunned, but they never thought that the wooden bird could still move. In their minds, they thought the wooden bird was just a sculpture.
However, it was at this moment that Wang Guan had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that this thing is the legendary machine bird?"
"A trap bird!" In an instant, Yu Feibai also suddenly realized: "Gong Shuzi whittled bamboo and wood to make a magpie, and then it flew away. It is a trap bird that cannot stand for three days?"
"I finally figured it out."
At the same time, Mr. Hou nodded and said: "Yes, that's what it is."
"Really?" Yu Feibai was surprised, but also a little hesitant: "Is it really Lu Ban's work, and can it fly in the sky for two or three days without falling?"
"have no idea."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Hou shook his head at this time: "The thing is broken and can't fly. Because the mechanism is complicated, we only repaired part of it and can barely move the wings."
"well¡¡"
When Yu Feibai heard this, he immediately sighed in disappointment.
"Of course, according to our research, even if everything is repaired, it is impossible for the thing to fly for three days." Mr. Hou said with a smile: "After all, it lacks enough power, and it will definitely not be able to fly for that long. However, we have also made precise calculations and feel that in With a favorable wind, the bird should be able to glide in the air for several minutes."
"Don't underestimate these few minutes. You must know that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was absolutely unprecedented to be able to achieve this step. No wonder it was spread and exaggerated to become the legend of whittling wood into a bird for three days."
While speaking, Mr. Hou also sighed a little: "It's a pity that ancient China valued literature over theory. Otherwise, if we continue to study, even if we can't invent an airplane, a simple glider can still be realized"
Everyone nodded one after another, and also sighed a little.
"Let's go, there are better things inside. Let's go and take a look."
After a while, Mr. Hou also felt that saying this was ruining the atmosphere, so he simply changed the topic and continued to lead everyone out of the room, then walked through a longer passage and came to another huge space.
However, after arriving here, Wang Guan and others found that this place was more like a small workshop than a space. A porcelain workshop. Among them, there are more than a dozen people in white coats busy.
"Yao Jing."
Yu Feibai took a glance and found that there was a quiet little girl among these people, and he immediately screamed out in surprise. Somewhat unexpected. It feels like it¡¯s expected.
Hearing the sound, Yao Jing just raised his head slightly, glanced over, and nodded slightly. Then he continued to focus on doing his own thing. A pair of delicate little hands are very flexible at this time, when the roulette wheel is turning. With a gentle tug of your fingers, a ball of blank naturally formed into a small bowl
"This place really isn't just a workshop, is it?" Yu Feibai saw it with interest, but also had some doubts. After all, if it was just an ordinary workshop, there would be no need to build it here.
"Haha, you have eyes, don't you know how to see?" Mr. Hou reminded him and pointed.
At the right time, Wang Guan and others looked around and saw several pieces of finished porcelain placed on a table. But it looks like plain porcelain, which is unmodified and has no painted patterns.
"Huh."
However, after getting closer, Wang Guan and others were surprised to find that they seemed to have misjudged it just now. The pieces of porcelain were not plain porcelain, but colored porcelain. The pure blue color was very clear, and it was clearly sacrificial blue
"It's about offering sacrifices to blue, it should be offering sacrifices to red."
However, as soon as Wang Guan opened his mouth, Yu Feibai next to him retorted. At first, he didn't feel reassured. At most, he thought Wang Guan had made a slip of the tongue. But the next second, following Baye's words, both of them were shocked.
"Isn't this yellow?" Baye was very confused.
"Red, yellow and blue?"
In an instant, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai also realized that something was wrong. After looking at each other, they immediately looked at Mr. Hou and others, hoping that they would give an explanation.
Of course, ?While asking for help, several people also staggered a few steps and continued to look at him. At this glance, they discovered a problem. With different angles, when you look at the porcelain again, you will find that the glaze color of the porcelain has also changed.
"what happened?"
After discovering this situation, several people kept changing their positions. Sure enough, they found that every time they changed the position, the glaze color of the porcelain they saw was completely different. However, there are not many changes, just three types: red, blue and yellow.
"This is the effect of the color-changing glaze."
At the same time, Hou Laocai explained with a smile: "The process is complicated, and I couldn't explain it clearly for a while. Anyway, it is the combination of the special blank and the glaze that produces such an effect."
"At the beginning, it was just a single color. Later, after a long period of research, it became two colors and three colors."
While speaking, Mr. Hou also said with a bit of longing: "However, if we study it in depth, maybe we can have all the colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple."
"Mr. Hou, you said it's less. If you add black and white, it's nine colors."
At this time, a researcher next to him smiled and said: "We are confident that we can definitely achieve this step. Even if we can't do it, the little girl from the Yao family can definitely do it"
"Yes, with Xiao Yao's strength, he will definitely be able to develop a perfect formula within a few years."
For a moment, a group of researchers nodded in approval. It was obvious that just a few months later, Yao Jing had already convinced a group of colleagues, and no one looked down upon her because of her young age. (To be continued)
