The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 278 Shen Le: I feel like I’m going to be a silkworm that will not stop spinning silk until it dies!
The width of the door is 78 cm, and the length of the embroidered satin is one meter, which is more than enough to be used directly for mounting paintings, not to mention repairing the defects on the original satin.

Shen Le carefully repaired the silk using the inlay method, comparing the patterns and decorations on the two pieces of brocade satin.

First find a continuous pattern loop, then press transparent film paper on the damaged area and trace it carefully. The handwriting must be very accurate, not crooked or slanted at all:
You should know that the warp density of this piece of brocade satin is 16.12 threads per centimeter, which means that if the pen tip is deviated by one millimeter, 1.6 warp threads will be deviated...

"Death to the termites, death to the termites, death to the termites..."

Shen Le was tracing while muttering. These damaged areas were not straight lines or smooth arcs, but were full of potholes, just like they were gnawed by a dog.

Or, it is even smaller than something gnawed by a dog, it is simply something gnawed by bugs!
"Boss, I really didn't chew it!" There was a rustling sound in the drawer next to him, and a borer popped its head out of the waste paper box, complaining tearfully:
"I can only chew paper, I really can't chew satin! These places are rotten on their own, it has nothing to do with me!"

Shen Le: “…”

That sounds reasonable...

He instinctively wanted to apologize. Around him, colorful lights floated up and down. Lan Zhuang snorted, and a circle of light fell on the transparent film:
[You can't chew satin, who chewed off those painting silks? You can't chew satin, how can you repeat the contents of the painting? You can only chew painting silks, not satin, you are kidding! ]

Shen Le:!!!
So was I deceived by it?

Can even an illiterate termite deceive me?

He quickly turned his head and looked at the waste paper box next to him. The borer monster shrank back under the old drawing paper, revealing only half of its thin tentacles, and continued to cry:
[I really didn’t bite it… This satin is much thicker than painting silk, I can’t bite it! ]

There is no point in investigating whether it was it that ate it now... Even if it was it that ate it, there is no way to make it spit it out, as the woodworm monster is not a silkworm monster.

Shen Le sighed, ignored him, and concentrated on drawing the pattern.

It must be said that after Lanzhuang was added, it was much easier to draw the lines. He didn't need to look for the defect below, he just needed to let the tip of the pen outline the line of Lanzhuang's projection and trace it stroke by stroke.

Finally, place the rubbing on the newly woven piece of brocade satin and move it around as much as possible, making sure that the outline of the rubbing corresponds point by point to the patch material.

"Okay! Now we can cut out this patch of material!"

Cutting is a more difficult task. The edges must fit perfectly, neither larger nor smaller than the edge outline.

If you use scissors, this task is basically impossible to accomplish. If the brocade satin is slightly soft or shaken, the cutting may be distorted.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Stay calm, keep your hands steady, and take your time. The scalpel is very sharp, I believe it will be able to cut the thread, you don't need to use too much force..."

Teacher Zhang stared at Shen Le closely and spoke softly and slowly, for fear of startling him and causing his hand to tremble and tear the satin.

You know, this is a brocade satin that costs 100,000 RMB per meter!

One hundred thousand per meter!
That doesn't even include the money paid to Jinling Yunjin Institute for comparing colors, drawing the design, and producing the drawing for the machine...

"A scalpel can cut through painted silk, and it can also cut through embroidery satin. Don't be impatient, take your time, do it bit by bit..."

Shen Le was getting impatient. Cutting painting silk before was not so troublesome, because painting silk was cheap, and the warp and weft lines were straight and horizontal, so it could be cut in any way.

The patterns of brocade satin are intricate, and if it is slightly crooked, the piece will be wasted and you will have to find another piece with the same pattern to cut!

"Dwarf monster!"

Shen Le was tired for a long time, so he decided to go on strike. Whoever pollutes, cleans up, whoever benefits, is responsible.

Since it was the termite that gnawed it (or he cannot prove that it was not him who gnawed it), then he has the obligation to make compensation:
"It's time to work! Come here, follow the edge of this rubbing and nibble off the piece of brocade satin underneath!"

[What…] The borer was stunned. When it came to its senses, it flapped its wings desperately, causing silver powder to fall to the ground:

[Why! Why do you want me to do this? I can’t bite it! ]

"Just tell me whether you will do it or not!"

Shen Le picked it up with a small bamboo stick, held it in the air, and looked into his own eyes.

The water demon looked at his own almost invisible figure in the two huge pupils, and huddled up in dejection:
[Okay. I'll do it...]

Under the threat of the huge and terrifying strong man, the water borer exerted 1000% of its fighting power. It lay on the satin, opened its barely visible little mouth, and made a sound of "click, click ...

One bite of silk thread after another. In less than a minute, the flexible body had already swam around the Takuya and bit it cleanly!

"Well done!" Shen Le was delighted. He controlled his strength and used his mental power to touch the borer monster—he didn't dare to use his fingers, for fear of killing it—and praised it:

"It's not in vain that I've raised you! Wait a moment, I'll make another rubbing, and I'll trouble you to continue chewing it! I'll give you more ancient paintings later!"

"...Ahem, Shen Le, it's better to do these tasks by yourself if you can do them yourself." Teacher Zhang on the side couldn't bear it anymore:
Are people so lazy when it comes to restoring cultural relics?

From a beginner student to a veteran worker with years of experience, who doesn’t work diligently and do things by themselves?
Shen Le, on the other hand, just sat there doing nothing and left the work to a monster!

"cough……"

Being looked down upon by the teacher, Shen Le was too embarrassed and tried to explain himself. The borer monster had already jumped up:
[I am willing to do it! I am willing to do it! It is my honor that the adults can use me, and I am willing to work for the adults! High efficiency, low consumption, one piece of old drawing paper per 100 kilometers!] In the studio, there was a chorus of laughter. The blue makeup, the red wedding dress, the small ink fountain, and the small oil lamp all made laughter of various tones and pitches.

Lan Zhuang also projected the words of the worm monster to Teacher Zhang, and commented:

[Teacher Zhang, one of them is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten, so just leave it alone. Shen Le can't keep it for nothing, right?]

"...I don't care about you anymore! Do it yourself!"

Teacher Zhang sighed and turned his head away, so as not to be angry to death. Shen Le smiled at him flatteringly and prepared to start the next rubbing.

Before he could make a move, a beam of colorful light fell, creating dozens of circles of different sizes on the brocade satin. Shen Le was stunned:

"Lan Zhuang! Are you ready to compare so soon?"

【certainly. 】

Colorful lights shone, proudly displaying a line of handwriting with a smiley face next to it.

Shen Le sighed helplessly, feeling that he was becoming more and more useless. He was not as good as Lan Zhuang in comparison, and not as good as Qu Yao in cutting.

Teacher Zhang watched coldly from the side, and finally felt proud, so he took the opportunity to scold him:
"So you see, you have to get started yourself. You need to have strong enough core skills to be able to command them—

Otherwise, if you can't understand the effect of their work, then you can just let them do whatever they want, right?"

Shen Le nodded obediently. He covered the worn-out satin with the new satin, moving it around to make sure that the circle drawn by Lan Zhuang was correct and fitted perfectly.

Then he waved his hand:
"It's up to you! Cut these areas out, and make sure they are spotless!"

As for the cut pieces, they were placed at various positioning points and embedded into the missing positions. Then, it was Shen Le's performance time:

With a magnifying glass in the left hand and a pipette in the right hand, he drips the silk fibroin solution drop by drop onto the edge of the defect.

Use magic and mental power to guide the silk thread to grow well, warp to warp, weft to weft, and the pattern on the base to the pattern...

"Alas, it is much more troublesome to repair the gap of embroidered satin than ordinary silk..."

Shen Le sighed sincerely. For ordinary silk, the warp is the warp and the weft is the weft, one horizontal and one vertical, just patch it up and it's done.

Flowered satin is not suitable because it has a layer of colored threads floating on it. You need to carve out the flower disc and weave it partially, and then connect the sections together.

The connected position cannot be on the surface, it must be on the back, and you need to use your mental power to "see through" to guide the colored lines to connect.

Shen Le struggled for a long time, sweating profusely, and finally finished a small piece.

Looking up, Lan Zhuang and the worm monster had already cut out 20 to 30 small pieces, some as big as half a figure, some as big as mung beans...

"Okay... you're going to train me today, right!!!"

Shen Le sighed and took on the job day after day. He really wanted a silkworm demon to help him...

I feel like I'm about to turn into a silkworm demon. If this continues, the silkworm will die before it has finished spinning silk, even though I don't have to spin silk...

He worked on it for two days. Although the total area of the defect was not large, it was full of potholes and the total length was quite long.

After the whole piece of brocade satin is joined, the painting can be mounted. In the order of joining the left and right sides first, and then the top and bottom edges, the brocade satin strips are pasted next to the center of the painting:

First, stick distance strips on the center of the painting, which are two pieces of single rice paper of appropriate thickness, dried and flattened, and cut into small strips of 0.5~0.5 cm wide.

I can't use the original paper for this one, because it was damaged when I cut the center of the painting, so I can only use new rice paper to re-process it.
Attach the distance strip to the back of the painting, and after it is dried and flattened, attach the embroidery satin to the distance strip;
Then we inlay the flagpole edge, tamp the edge, and paste the paper clip. All the work is done, and finally we come to the last step:
"Hey, are you sure you want to use the original paper for this covering paper?"

The alloy boss also appeared and stared at the backing paper. The backing paper was full of holes, big and small, one hole after another;

The most important thing is that the words above, those things that may be the way to pass through the formation, have not been completed yet!
"Sure!"

Shen Le stared closely at the paper stretched flat on the wall next to the workbench. Spiritual energy flowed on the paper, the pole, and the painting, vaguely connecting them into one.

You must use the original paper for this, otherwise, it will cause great damage to the ancient painting itself!

"Then wait a minute! I'll get some friends over to look at the information here - I feel like I'm almost there!"

Shen Le didn't mind it. But Teacher Zhang was shocked:
"Hey, why are there so many people from the special department?"

　The cat fell down...

　　The cat's left knee and right ankle are swollen...

　　The cat is in pain... The cat is crying, the cat wants to be held...
