The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 200 Shen Le, you are really good at making up stories in order to get shipwreck materials for experiments!
Red Flag Gang?
Tianbaozi?
The lights in front of him came on, and Shen Le sat in front of the compass, dazed.

He seemed to have heard of these two names before, but he couldn't remember them at the moment. However, since he felt that he had heard of them before, they must be famous figures in history, right?

Shen Le took out his phone, typed in two keywords, and quickly searched Baidu. After a long while, he sighed:

Big shot!
He is indeed a big shot!

This was a famous pirate on the coast of Guangdong during the Jiaqing period.

At its strongest, it had 12 to thousand men and to warships. The largest warship could carry guns, all of which were six-pound, twelve-pound, or even eighteen-pound guns.

He roamed the seas, plundering merchant ships, especially foreign merchant ships. In the 15th year of Jiaqing's reign, he accepted the amnesty and served as a fifth-rank military officer, and later became the second-rank deputy general of Penghu.

Of course, what is even more legendary and talked about is that he and his adoptive mother, the female pirate Zheng Yi Sao, later became husband and wife.

Shen Le had to gossip about all the unofficial histories, stories, movies, and dramas he found...

"So, this ship and this compass were left behind by Zhang Baozai? Is the thick and overflowing feeling in the ship Zhang Baozai's resentment?"

Shen Le stroked the compass, communicating with his mind, and silently asked. The compass did not move, and there was no response.

After repeated questioning, Luo Pan showed no response at all, as if he had fallen asleep, or had completely exhausted all his strength...

Alas, if the repair progress is not enough, no more information can be seen. Shen Le has become accustomed to this. He grabbed the measuring instrument and measured it again:
"...The energy index seems to have dropped slightly, but the nature of the energy has become more distorted... Moreover, the amount of drop is not proportional to the distorted nature..."

If one more memory is triggered, can the energy index and properties of the compass continue to change?

Shen Le had some guesses, but he couldn't verify them. As for the relationship between the change in the absolute value of energy and the deviation of energy properties, there might be a function curve, but Shen Le couldn't be sure...

It would be better to let him die than to let him calculate this curve by himself. Shen Le decisively threw a bunch of numbers to the Special Affairs Bureau and let them worry about it.

He turned to ask his fellow doctoral student:
"Brother, do you have any clues about the origin of this ship, its original owner, previous sailing records, etc.?"

"It's not that easy." The senior brother smiled bitterly. When a shipwreck is found on the seabed, what everyone wants to know most is the origin of the ship, which is also the top priority of archaeology;
But looking at the archaeological records over the years, "Huaguang Reef No. 1", "Nanhai No. 1", "Xiaobaijiao No. 1"...

Do archaeologists not want to find out the original name of the ship?

It’s simply impossible to find it!

That is, the excavation of the Zhiyuan ship confirmed that the shipwreck was located at the site of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The weapons found on it matched those of the Zhiyuan ship. A porcelain plate with the seal script "Zhiyuan" was also found...

Then, how many objects have been found that can directly confirm the identity of the ship?

three item……

That’s right, only three!
Two porcelain plates and a silver spoon.

Note that these porcelain plates and silver spoons are not placed there in a complete and clean state. When you pick them up, you can see the words "Zhiyuan" on them at a glance.

The porcelain plate was broken into seventeen or eighteen pieces, and to put it together roughly, you had to take it out and look at it carefully from an angle to see it;
The silver spoon was completely rusted, and without cleaning and repair, the logo of the Zhiyuan ship could not be seen at all.

In fact, being able to find such a logo among the various fragments buried on the seabed, Shen Le already felt that it might be the blessing of the heroic spirits...

The Zhiyuan sank in 1894. The ancient ship in front of us is estimated to have sunk between 1810 and 1820.

The time gap is too big, and there is no particularly strong evidence. I guess I can't expect to confirm the identity of this ship and its original owner in this lifetime...

"There are no needle books, no route books, no account books." The doctoral student sighed:
“Many foreign ships can verify their identities because they use logbooks, many of which are on parchment;
All we use is paper! Paper! After being submerged in the sea for hundreds of years, what can survive being soaked and rotten? "

"Well...what if we ask a monster that has personally seen this to identify this ship? For example, that old turtle?"

Shen Le asked cautiously. Not surprisingly, he was given a big eye roll by his senior brother:

"You're kidding! Turtle tells us the origins of this ship? How do we write this paper?"

"..."

The origin of the ship is important, but being able to publish the paper is undoubtedly more important.

Of course, if we know the origin, we can find the corresponding things in the cultural relics to verify the origin and owner of the ship, which is very good, very good...

"So we have to continue repairing it... The more perfect the repair is, the stronger the compass's ability to absorb resentment will be. The stronger the absorption capacity is, the more information it can provide..."

More importantly, if the compass is used as a guide to absorb and dissolve the black air on the ancient ship, it will greatly promote the progress of the restoration of the ancient ship!

Shen Le discussed this idea with several staff members of the Special Affairs Bureau and obtained permission from his superiors.

He held the compass in his hand and entered the skeleton room again. Not surprisingly, he saw the black gas in the skeleton rolling up and pouring into the tray. Shen Le opened the electric net and watched the black gas rolling on the compass from a distance, watching the numbers on the instrument constantly jumping. After a long time, he took back the compass and put it in a special isolation box:

The abnormal energy of the compass has increased significantly, and the abnormal energy in the skeleton has decreased by 1/5...

"So, in order to remove the evil spirits as much as possible without using electric current to violently expel them, while protecting the integrity of the cultural relic, the best way is to repair the compass as soon as possible."

Shen Le slapped a stack of test reports in front of the staff of the Special Affairs Bureau and the old professors of the museum, and talked freely:

"The problem now is to repair the compass perfectly while protecting it from damage as much as possible.

At the same time, it cannot affect the energy essence within it, nor does it affect its ability to absorb abnormal energy."

People on both sides were a little confused. For the staff of the Special Affairs Bureau, even though they had been working in the museum for ten days, those restoration methods were still a bit like incomprehensible books;
For the old professors, it is impossible to believe in super powers and abnormal energies unless they see them with their own eyes.

Even if you see it with your own eyes, to understand the difference between this energy and that energy is close to the heavenly book...

"So what can I do for you?"

The old professor who had taught Shen Le how to carve wood before coughed lightly and took the lead in asking:

"It shouldn't be difficult for you to simply repair the compass itself, right?"

There is actually a set of standard procedures for the repair of water-saturated wood products, including dehydration, desalination, desulfurization, filling and curing.

At most, the silver threads embedded on it require another set of light rust removal and corrosion inhibition sealing operations.

The museum has already mastered these tasks, and even if Shen Le is a novice, it is not difficult for him to learn them - no one here will refuse to teach him.

The only reason why they would make such a big fuss and gather everyone here to discuss it is that Shen Le has other needs.

"First of all, I hope to find a quick way to repair it." Shen Le asked seriously:
"The methods I know are too slow... Whether it's natural dehydration in a high-humidity environment, sand burial, polyethylene glycol immersion, or outdoor freeze-dehydration, it takes several years. It's really too slow..."

How could he have the time to stay in this museum for several years?
There are still a lot of things to do at home! Apart from anything else, there is a group of peony flower fairies waiting in line to survive the tribulation, and Old Lu who took him into the mountains also needs to survive the tribulation!
The restorers looked at each other and laughed. The old professor smiled and shook his head:

"You haven't read enough papers, right? Now there is a new method - supercritical CO2 fluid extraction. It only takes two days to complete dehydration, desalination and desulfurization in one go, and the effect is excellent!"

At his signal, some students sitting in the back row of the conference room quickly opened their laptops.

Log in to CNKI, download the paper, and send it to me along with the laptop. Shen Le quickly read it and sighed:

So this is the pain of "every job is like a mountain between two mountains".

Supercritical CO2 fluid extraction has been used in chemical and pharmaceutical fields for decades.
However, for dehydration, desalination and desulfurization of marine water-saturated wood...

This paper was just published in May this year!

So how can you blame him for not seeing it!!!
“But I don’t know how this method should be used specifically on a compass that doesn’t have too much water content, nor too much salt or sulfur content;
I don’t know if this method will hurt its spiritual nature. So…”

He spread his hands helplessly. Several old professors laughed knowingly:

"So you want to adjust the data, right? Try to find the most suitable data? No problem, leave it to us! Xiao Li, you do it!"

Shen Le looked at his senior doctor in surprise as he stood up and smiled at him.

"I am the lead author of this paper! I am responsible for the collaboration with the Changzheng Institute!"

This paper was also written by their team, who performed repeated calculations and constantly adjusted the experimental methods.

Now, with the compass data in hand, it would be a piece of cake for him to design the most suitable extraction method!
"In addition, I need to apply for a few wooden boards, treat them in the same way, and observe their spiritual changes." Shen Le said:

"It's best to have the same material, similar water content, and similar spiritual energy..."

The old professors laughed helplessly. After all the twists and turns, feelings are waiting here!
He would try every possible means to "borrow" wood from the ancient shipwreck from them and come up with his own method!

"Okay... write an experimental application. Write down the purpose of the experiment, the experimental method, the materials and instruments needed, and I will approve it!"

Shen Le got a large piece of shipboard as he wished. The black air was lingering, and the special affairs bureau personnel were afraid to approach it. Even if the researchers could not see the black air, they would naturally walk around it.

Only Shen Le was happy and started directly:
"Come on! If you can get the experiment done, you can fix it quickly!"
