The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 327 Shen Le: My junior brother is feeding me dog food, can you fire him?
The effects created by the junior students are indeed a bit scary, but to be honest, they are quite vivid and intuitive.

Which head and arm are more suitable on top can be seen at a glance by placing them on the Buddha statue.

It is not like using virtual restoration technology, where you click to select the Buddha head/hand, copy and paste it onto the scanned copy of the Buddha statue, and then adjust the angle and direction to get the result.

There will always be information loss from three-dimensional to two-dimensional. When the time comes, each will have their own opinions on which plan is better.

Shen Le had enough money for 3D printing materials, and even had the money to buy one or two 3D printers, so he just let them make it.

He strolled leisurely through this scene that looked like both the Paris Underground Cemetery and a cave of bones, and came to a more normal area nearby.

Just as he stopped, a little sister raised a steam iron and greeted him:
"Brother, come and see, we have reproduced the method in the paper! The effect is very good!"

Shen Le:!!!
Please don't swing the iron at me!
If I hadn't stopped in time, the steam iron would have almost hit me in the face!
His vigilant look made the little sister react. She smiled embarrassedly and put away the iron. Shen Le then walked up carefully:

"How far have you gotten? Show me."

"No problem, Brother! We have just started something here, you just need to watch from the side!"

Shen Le stood to the side of the operating table, quickly lowered his head, and first looked at the experimental record on the side: Well, the title is "Cleaning of Old Gold Foil".

Turning my head again, I saw my junior sister frowning slightly, dealing with a pool of unknown object on the operating table in front of her. It was very small, very dirty, and it would fall into pieces when touched. It was hard to describe in words:
Only after Shen Le had touched it himself could he tell that it was a stack of gold foil. Moreover, it was already one of the better quality gold foils he had peeled off from the Buddha statue!

The junior sister concentrated and held her breath, slowly pressing down the steam iron in her hand. While pressing, she chanted:

"You have to move gently, slowly, and evenly... You have to move evenly... If the steam iron is slightly tilted, this thing will stick to the iron, and then it will be difficult to remove..."

The gold foil that was almost shattered at the touch actually slowly adhered to her and softened little by little under her light and agile movements.

Shen Le extended his mental power, covering her arms, fingers, the iron, and the gold foil under it. He couldn't help but admire her:
If he were to do this himself, he would probably have to use his mental power and magic to push his concentration and fine control abilities to the limit in order to achieve such an effect.

Alas, the junior sister in their department is really clever and skillful!
Ironing the gold foil with a steam iron is one aspect, but more importantly, the gold glue and paint adhering between the gold foils will also soften to the point where they can be separated.

Next, the junior sister put down the steam iron and used a scalpel and a repair knife to layer the gold foil little by little:
There's not much to say about this job, it just requires patience and carefulness.

She bit her lower lip with her fine white teeth, working without raising her head. After a long while, she suddenly looked up and saw Shen Le beside her, then smiled shyly:
"Brother, this is just a physical job. If you are impatient to watch, just go sit aside..."

Shen Le was concentrating on sensing the spirituality on these gold foils. Well, a few pieces of gold foil alone would not be a big problem and should not cause spiritual pollution to the little apprentice sister.

As for all the old gold foils that were taken off, they were all packed up and brought to the laboratory here, so that the junior brothers and sisters could separate, flatten, and clean them one by one...

Forget it. It will be enough for the fellow students to blaze a trail. He should do the heavy work himself.

After all, only if he restores it personally can the Buddha statue have the best spirituality, right?
"Brother, take off the gold foil and use a cotton swab dipped in a mixture of 20% ethanol and 80% pure water to scrub it a little bit at a time."

The junior sister finally peeled the thin stack of gold foil into six almost complete sheets and breathed a sigh of relief.

She then picked up a cotton swab and rolled it over the gold foil to clean the dust on the surface. While cleaning, she explained:
"It is important to use a gentle rolling method when cleaning the front side, so as to prevent the gold particles from being brought down by the cotton swab..."

Shen Le: “…”

So I still need to determine whether such a thin piece of gold foil is the front or the back? Or, after I go back, I should do another experiment and use the cleaning technique to directly sweep it over, will it be more effective?
The junior sister cleaned the gold foil bit by bit, patiently. After cleaning the gold foil, she flattened it with a piece of glass, then she stood up and stretched:

"Ah... Next we just have to wait for drying and bagging..."

After drying, the gold foil should be placed in the corresponding ziplock bags. In short, the gold foil should be placed in the corresponding bag from whichever hand, arm or body it was peeled off.

When you put it back together later, put the head back to the head, the hands back to the hands, and the body back to the body, and try to put it back to its original position. This is the principle of restoring the old as it was!
After reading this entire set of work, Shen Le felt that his shoulders were heavy with responsibilities and that he had a long way to go.

The junior sister just needs to figure out the technical paths and key points. With such a large Buddha statue and so much gold foil, she has to peel, separate, clean and re-paste them all!

"By the way, have you figured out the composition of the gold glue paint?"

"I have figured it out, brother!"

Hearing the call from the biggest sponsor and the mention of the research topic he was working on, the brothers and sisters who were making a fuss in Heaven instantly shifted their attention.

A junior who was holding the Buddha's arm and fighting with his classmates using other Buddha's arms quickly ran over:
"We took samples from the gold foil and did infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and also photographed the samples with a scanning electron microscope—"

He picked up a folder and flipped through it in front of Shen Le.

There was a thick stack of various infrared spectra, X-ray diffraction spectra, X-ray energy spectra, as well as dazzling calculation and analysis processes, which dazzled Shen Le.

He pushed the folder back casually:
"Tell me the conclusion!"

"No problem! - The conclusion is that gold glue paint is mainly made of raw lacquer, mixed with tung oil, and then mixed with mercuric sulfide! The ratio of tung oil and mercuric sulfide is..."

The more Shen Le listened, the more satisfied he became. Although his fellow students were having fun and making noise, at least they did not delay the task he had given them.

He patted his junior on the shoulder happily:

"Well done! - If you want to publish a paper based on these research results, I'll reimburse you for the publication fees!"

"Uh, Brother, can you change the reward?"

"what?"

"Exchange for the delicious fruit you treated us to last time..."

The junior brother spoke in a low voice, blinking his eyes violently and poking at his chest with his fingertips.

Shen Le turned around and looked in the direction of his finger, and saw the junior sister holding the steam iron, once again buried her head in front of the workbench, not even looking at them...

roll!
I only give out bonuses, not dog food!
