The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 252 Alloy Boss! You are not allowed to scratch my walls! You are not allowed to scratch my pillars! (Seeking monthly tickets)

"Hey, didn't I promise to help you fix this thing?"

Shen Le's face was full of resistance, and "I don't want it" was written on each of his eyebrows. This scroll of silk painting, a scroll of silk painting with words, was supposed to be a gift for him!

It was said to be a gift for him!

Since it is a gift, it belongs to him. He has the final say on whether to repair it or not and when to repair it - why force him to repair it!
He said he would be a dog if he embroidered textiles again!

Alloy Boss was full of resentment, lying beside him. He followed Shen Le to the whirlpool, stayed there for ten days, and came back without accomplishing anything. Apart from fighting with the colorful bird, he gained nothing.

Even the big bird was taken away by the Special Affairs Bureau! Although he was promised 500 tons of alloy steel, he didn't keep much of the big bird. He only took a few bites when he killed it!
"You tricked me into the whirlpool! You patched up the hole and wouldn't let me go home! - I was almost home!"

The resentment in him was so thick that it seemed to be real. Clumps of bronze hair appeared on the side of his head, and it seemed that he would return to his original form and roar to the sky at any moment. Shen Le sighed:
"Let's talk about reason. It's not that I won't let you go, it's that I won't let you go now. That big bird can fight you back and forth, what will you do if you encounter a stronger monster? -

Don't deny it, when I came into contact with that formation, I saw stronger monsters behind it, more than one!"

This point, the Alloy Boss really couldn't deny. He was originally small and weak among the group of monsters back then, otherwise he would not have been left out during the last retreat.

The spiritual energy on the other side is so abundant, one can imagine how much the strength of those monsters would increase after staying there for hundreds of years.

If he runs over and fails to contact his relatives and friends quickly, he might be beaten by other monsters and won't be able to lift his head, or even be torn to pieces!
"Besides, your strength increases mainly through eating." Shen Le continued to persuade him:
"Who will help you mine the ore? Who will help you smelt the ore? Who will make alloy steel for you? Do you want to go back to the old days when you could mine the ore yourself and eat the ore raw?"

The Alloy Boss hung his head in frustration. The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth over there was fresh, vivid, and surging, making his blood beat instinctively and yearning from the bottom of his heart;

However, the flexible steel, crisp aluminum bars, delicious titanium alloys, spicy and fragrant batteries and nuclear waste, these things that made his abilities grow rapidly, he would never be able to eat them again once he got there!
"...Anyway, you owe me one." He said sullenly:
"You have to help me fix it. I don't want it. If you fix it, I can take a look at it and see what it looked like originally. Isn't that okay?"

Shen Le was silent for a long time. He said softly:
"What is the origin of this scroll? Why do you have to repair it? Is it important to you?"

"This is... something from a friend of mine..."

For the first time, that chubby face, which had always had a cheerful expression, showed deep nostalgia and melancholy:

"It's very important to him... He has never told me who the person in the painting is, and he has never told me what is painted on it... I want to take a look..."

Shen Le sighed deeply. All right, he thought, since he didn't have anything else to repair...

Moreover, this silk painting also has abundant spiritual energy, which meets his standards for restoration... Perhaps, after the restoration is completed, the silk painting will also have spirituality and become an artifact spirit?

"Then you have to wait patiently." He gave a warning:
"It took me several months to repair the red wedding dress. The difficulty of restoring this silk painting is definitely no less than that of the red wedding dress. Three months to half a year is the minimum, and it is not impossible to take more!"

"No problem!" Alloy Boss agreed immediately. Then, he immediately put forward additional conditions:

"I want to live here with you and watch you repair it with my own eyes! You have a place for me to live, right? It shouldn't be difficult to make room for a yard in such a big house for me!"

Shen Le: “…”

Very good, is this going to be supervision?
Personal supervisor?

"The last entrance on the west side is where I live, the last entrance on the east side is Ah Lu's yard, and the second entrance on the east side is where guests can survive." He said helplessly:
"You can pick any other yard. I don't care. By the way, you won't bring back the batteries? You won't bring back the alloy steel either?"

Five hundred tons of alloy steel has a volume of approximately 64 cubic meters, which is a steel block of 4*4*4 meters.

Of course, if it is made into steel coils or steel bars, it will be more dispersed, but the pressure on the ground is still very high.

His house is a traditional bungalow with a shallow foundation, at most rammed earth, which cannot withstand these alloy steels placed on the ground!

Alloy Boss agreed immediately. He looked around the other three courtyards and chose the first entrance on the east road as his residence:

The first entrance on the west side is the entrance hall and sedan chair hall. The courtyard is very small and most of the rooms are back rooms, which is not a suitable place for entertaining guests.
The second entrance on the west side is the main hall. Although it is the most magnificent and spacious, the structure of the house is not designed for living. What? Living in the east wing or the west wing?

Please, first of all, that is not the etiquette for entertaining guests. Secondly, houses in Jiangnan are most comfortable when they face south...

So, in the end, he chose the first entrance on the east side, which was originally the study of the house, as his residence.

The study room has another advantage. It has a large yard. It was originally used for students to play after school. Now -

"Roar!!!" It changed back to its original form, rolled over, and shook its fur. The beast, more than ten feet long and taller than Shen Le's head, stretched out comfortably, put its front paws on the ground, and pushed its hips back as hard as it could:

"Ow—"

Shen Le took a step back silently. Cat pose stretch, watching a beautiful girl do yoga, doing this move is still very pleasing to the eye;

However, if you see a giant beast, a beast that is several times bigger than you, doing this in front of you, you can't help but worry whether it will pounce on you next...

"Help yourself! I'll go see if my equipment has arrived! - Oh, don't scrape the floor! And don't scrape the walls or the pillars! If you must scrape, go outside and drag some alloy plates over!"

The Alloy Boss responded by shaking his tail. Don't mention it, that short tail shook into a chrysanthemum shape, which looked quite funny.

So are you a cat or something? If you are a cat, your tail shouldn't be so short;
If it's a bear, the shape of its head is wrong!

Well, no matter what subject it is, please don't scratch the floor or the wall, don't grab the pillars, and don't rub against the walls or pillars... My house can't stand being scratched by all the metal hair on your body!
While Shen Le was worried about his house, he opened the door and walked across.

Alas, thinking back then, when he first got this house, he had thought about how to rent out the rooms - or rent out a few yards to supplement the family income.

Due to the fact that the house was too well decorated and the furniture was too old, the dream of collecting rent had never been realized.

And now, can he collect rent from this person?
To be honest, the official action was very fast. Shen Le agreed to go to the big whirlpool, and over there, several houses next to the mansion began to be purchased, demolished, and the foundation was laid.

Although it was not as fast as the construction of Vulcan Mountain, when Shen Le came back, a 50-meter-wide area next to it had been demolished and the foundation had been leveled to prepare for the construction of the laboratory...

At the same time, all the instruments he wanted had been delivered. The laboratory had not yet been built, so he temporarily found an office building opposite the old house to place the instruments.

In short, try to make Shen Le able to get everything he needs within 500 meters of his home...

This saves him from running around. If one day the Special Affairs Bureau needs him to do something or asks him to help open a door or something, he will run away to Daxinganling!

It’s not like it hasn’t happened before!

Shen Le was quite satisfied with this treatment. He walked around the opposite side, checked what equipment was there and what he could use now, and rushed back to the studio at lightning speed:
That silk painting, that tattered silk painting, the one that was worm-eaten and rat-gnawed, with a bare board and no hair... uh, that damaged and moldy silk painting, if it is to be restored, a lot of work needs to be done!
Take photos quickly!
Take photos, take photos. The first thing to do when restoring any cultural relic is to take photos from all angles.

Shoot the whole picture, shoot the details, shoot the front and back, shoot the scroll——

There seems to be some secret in this scroll, which is worth exploring carefully?

It is not the time to explore now. Who knows what the silk painting has gone through. Not only are there many holes, but the surface is also blurry and dim, and it is impossible to tell what was originally painted:
figure?

landscape?

Flowers and birds?

In short, it probably needs to be soaked in water several times, then taken out and roughly dried several times before it becomes this sticky, right?

It was so blurry that Shen Le definitely couldn't tell it apart just by looking. But fortunately, in addition to looking with his eyes, modern technology could still give him some help:
Shen Le used a Raman laser spectrometer and a microfocus fluorescence spectrometer to scan the patterns on the silk painting.

Raman spectrometer can give different characteristic peaks at each position, and then we can check the literature based on the characteristic peaks to determine what pigment is used here;
Microfocus fluorescence spectrometer can even scan the distribution map of various elements on extremely blurred and dim silk paintings.

Even if it has been soaked in water, even if it has holes, even if a lot of the pigment has disappeared, this scanner for trace elements can still find the tiniest dots and give the answer!

"Okay, so it's still not a good paste... The pigment has migrated a lot..."

After a long period of scanning, comparison, and calculation, Shen Le was faced with an image that was still a blur, but only slightly better than before, and he scratched his head helplessly:

"Or, in fact, I can take this silk painting apart, scan it from the back, and then scan it from the lining on which it is mounted?"

　Please give me a monthly ticket, meow meow meow!
　　Ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket!
　　Last month, I didn’t even get 2,000 votes, which is a significant drop from the month before last. The cat is so sad...

　　Then I found out that many people didn’t remember to vote, and the cat became even sadder…
