Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

That evening, after dinner.

Xu Xing took out the fragments of the gui-shaped incense burner and arranged them one by one on the worktable.

Then, he took out the detailed repair plan and explained it to Zhu Yong and Liu Jian.

"The first and most crucial step is to clean and fill these staple holes."

Xu Xing pointed to the tiny holes on the fragments and said, "Although these holes are not large, there are many of them, and some are located under the glaze, making them very difficult to clean."

"Zhu Yong, you are in charge of preparing the porcelain clay slurry. The formula is: 59.9% kaolin, 22.8% feldspar powder, 10.2% quartz powder, and 5.1% alumina. Mix with 85% water until smooth and creamy. Remember, the formula must be precise."

Xu Xing handed Zhu Yong a sheet of porcelain clay ingredients.

He then looked at Liu Jian and said, "Liu Jian, you are in charge of cleaning the holes. First, use a 0.2 mm tungsten steel needle to remove the impurities and oxide layer inside the holes, then clean them with anhydrous ethanol, and finally dry them with a hot air gun at a low temperature."

"I'm responsible for filling the holes and curing."

After hearing this, the two immediately took action.

Zhu Yong went to the materials area to weigh various raw materials and began to mix the porcelain clay slurry.

Liu Jian then put on his goggles, picked up a tungsten steel needle, and began cleaning the first hole.

This task requires a great deal of patience and meticulousness.

The holes left by the staples are less than one millimeter in diameter and only two or three millimeters deep.

Cleaning away impurities in such a small space without damaging the surrounding tire requires extremely high hand stability.

Liu Jian held his breath, his eyes fixed on the eyepiece, as he slowly rotated and scraped the tungsten steel needle inside the hole.

After cleaning each hole, he had to stop to catch his breath and move his stiff fingers.

Liu Jian spent a full three hours cleaning the seventeen holes.

His fingers were trembling slightly as he cleaned the last hole.

"XCMG, the cleaning is complete."

He put down the tungsten steel needle and let out a long sigh of relief.

Xu Xing inspected the fetus and nodded in satisfaction: "Well done, no damage to the fetus."

Next up was Xu Xing.

He picked up the porcelain clay slurry that Zhu Yong had prepared and began filling the holes with an extremely fine dispensing needle.

The slurry concentration is carefully adjusted so that it can flow smoothly into the pores without being too thin and causing it to flow.

Xu Xing's hand was very steady. He precisely aimed the tip of the dispensing needle at the hole and gently squeezed it. The paste slowly flowed into the hole and filled every tiny gap.

With the aid of X-ray vision, he could clearly see the flow of the slurry inside the holes, ensuring that every corner was completely filled without any air bubbles remaining.

After filling a hole, he used a UV lamp to irradiate it for thirty seconds to allow the slurry to initially solidify.

Then fill in the next one.

It took Xu Xing nearly two hours to fill all seventeen holes.

After filling, he used fine sandpaper to smooth the surface, making the filled part flush with the surrounding tire body.

It was already 10 p.m. when I finished this step.

Xu Xing straightened up, stretched his slightly sore neck, and said, "That's enough for today. Let the filler cure naturally for twelve hours. Just come back before 10 o'clock tomorrow, and we'll continue with the next step then."

Zhu Yong and Liu Jian were also exhausted, but they both had satisfied smiles on their faces.

After get off work, Xu Xing took the two of them to Yunshuiyao for a foot massage and recharged their membership cards with 10,000 yuan each.

For the next three days, the three of them practically lived in the restoration room.

The next day, Xu Xing began to glue the fragments together and restore the shape of the artifact.

Because there are many fragments and the broken edges are uneven, bonding them together is very difficult.

Xu Xing adopted a strategy of starting from large and working down to small, first gluing together the two largest main body fragments and then gradually gluing together the smaller fragments.

Each piece must be clamped for at least one hour to ensure a firm bond.

At the same time, he also installed a custom-made high-temperature resistant alloy bracket inside the bottle to fix the key stress points at multiple points and prevent displacement or deformation during the subsequent firing process.

On the third day, the bonding work was completed and the shape of the device was restored.

Xu Xing then began the most crucial step: glazing.

Because test pieces had been fired in advance and the glaze formula had been determined, this step was completed quickly, before lunch that day.

After the glazing was completed, Xu Xing carefully placed the gui-style furnace into the medium-sized electric kiln and set the firing curve.

The firing temperature is 1180℃, and the temperature is maintained for 25 minutes before naturally cooling down.

The entire firing process takes six hours.

At 5:30 p.m., the electric kiln completed the cooling process and emitted a beeping sound.

Xu Xing put on thick, heat-resistant gloves and opened the kiln door.

When the celadon-glazed gui-shaped incense burner was taken out and placed on the worktable, the entire restoration room seemed to light up.

The vessel has an elegant shape and a warm, sky-blue glaze that gleams softly under the light, resembling a piece of jade polished by time.

The parts that were once damaged by the metal staples are now completely undetectable. The newly applied glaze blends perfectly with the original glaze, achieving the highest level of restoration that restores the old as it was.

After Xu Xing used a magnifying glass to check inch by inch to confirm that there were no problems with any of the repaired parts, he removed the alloy bracket, filled the remaining gaps with epoxy resin, and finally polished it.

By the time the last step was completed, it was already 7 p.m.

Xu Xing let out a long sigh of relief, put down his tools, looked at the perfectly intact gui-shaped incense burner, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"It's done."

Zhu Yong and Liu Jian also gathered around, looking at the celadon-glazed gui-shaped incense burner with expressions of surprise on their faces.

"XCMG, this is just too perfect..."

Zhu Yong murmured.

Liu Jian nodded repeatedly: "It's as if it has never been damaged at all."

Xu Xing smiled, took out his phone, and dialed Wang Benquan's number.

"Mr. Wang, that gui-shaped incense burner has been repaired. You are welcome to come and take a look."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Wang Benquan's slightly excited voice: "I'm coming right away!"

Not long after hanging up the phone, the porcelain cooled down, and when Xu Xing touched it with his bare hands, a surge of warmth flowed into his body.

This directly increased the weight capacity of his dantian space to about 4 kilograms, an increase of almost 20 kilograms!

That roughly corresponds to a pre-tax value of 2000 million.

In addition, a large amount of warm currents circulate continuously in his body, gradually integrating over time to further improve and enhance his physique.

In less than ten minutes, Wang Benquan and Zhou Wenyuan arrived at Restoration Room No. 0. As soon as they entered, their eyes were fixed on the celadon-glazed gui-shaped incense burner on the worktable.

He walked over quickly, bent down and almost pressed his face against the surface of the porcelain, examining it carefully from every angle.

Zhou Wenyuan also came over, took out various testing tools, and began to conduct detailed tests.

UV lamp, fiber optic sidelight, high-power microscope, colorimeter, portable XRF...

All the equipment was put into use.

This time, Zhou Wenyuan examined her for a full forty minutes.

When he put down the last testing tool and took off his reading glasses, his face was full of amazement.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Xu, the restoration results of this Gui-style incense burner fully meet and exceed the Level 1 compliance standard of the National 'Management Measures for the Qualification of Restoration of Movable Cultural Relics,' and are internally rated as excellent."

"The glaze color reproduction is extremely high, the color difference ΔE is less than 0.6, and there are no obvious traces in the repaired area, which meets the highest requirement of restoring the old as before."

Wang Benquan smiled with satisfaction after hearing this.

He turned to Xu Xing and said, "Mr. Xu, as we agreed before, it's 17 million after tax. Let's sign the contract and transfer the money now."

Xu Xing nodded: "Okay."

Wang Benquan immediately instructed his secretary to prepare the contract, and the two signed the transfer agreement on the spot.

A few minutes later, Xu Xing received a text message from the bank: "Your savings card account ending in xxxx has received a real-time transfer of 17,000,000.00 yuan. Balance..."
