Seeing Chu Chen's emotional expression, Sun Jiapeng thought that there was no hope of restoring the color, and his face fell instantly, and his tone became a lot lost.

"I know it is difficult to restore the color, but please do your best. This is what we expect archaeologists have been looking forward to."

When Chu Chen saw that Sun Jiapeng had already said this, there would be no reason for him not to agree, not to mention that he already had this ability.

"Don't worry, I will work hard, but there is still too much information to investigate.

"After I thoroughly investigate, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"At that time, I will definitely restore more and more terracotta warriors to their original colors."

With Chu Chen's guarantee, Sun Jiapeng held Chu Chen's hand excitedly.

"Then all of this is up to you."

In just one day, Chu Chen had already repaired the arm of a terracotta warrior.

This is a surprise for everyone.

Especially Liu Weiguo, who is even more happy from ear to ear now.

I just feel that I finally made the most correct decision to dig out such a precious lump.

He was about to host a banquet for Chu Chen, but Chu Chen refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have one more important thing to go to the Provincial Museum to reconfirm."

Liu Weiguo immediately guessed Chu Chen's intentions, and dialed the phone number of the curator of the Provincial Museum without saying a word, asking him to take Chu Chen to visit in person.

Chu Chen originally wanted to take Xiao Yu with him, but Xiao Yu wanted to stay at the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses to shoot more materials that could be posted on Chu Chen's Weibo, so he didn't go with Chu Chen.

Liu Weiguo sent a special car to take Chu Chen to the gate of the Provincial Museum. When Chu Chen got off the car, the curator was already waiting there.

"You are the Master Chu Chen that Curator Liu mentioned on the phone. The museum was supposed to be closed early for cleaning today."

"However, this happens to give you a relatively quiet space to visit. If you have any questions during the visit, you can just ask me at any time."

Seeing the enthusiasm of the curator, Chu Chen smiled a little embarrassedly, nodded and walked quickly into the museum.

The moment he entered the museum, Chu Chen went straight to the ancient painting exhibition area.

The ancient paintings displayed one after another fully reflect the level of aesthetics of the great Qin Dynasty that was once in its heyday.

And these colors are likely to appear on the terracotta warriors, which is why Chu Chen hurried here, because he wanted to prove an idea of ​​his own.

He looked around with serious eyes, as if he wanted to firmly remember every color on the painting in his mind.

An ancient painting in the last corner attracted all his attention, and he stood in front of this ancient painting without moving for a long time.

"Is this... purple?"

If there is someone who is familiar with Chu Chen by his side, he must be able to hear Chu Chen's interest in his tone today, as if he was excited because he saw the appearance of purple.

After hearing what Chu Chen said, the curator also said very proudly.

"Well, yes, the restoration of this painting took us a lot of effort at that time."

"A painting, after years of baptism, often loses its original color."

"As for the purple in the picture, when we first restored it, there was no way to simulate the weathered color with five-color paint anyway."

"In the end, a young man in our team thought that it was probably mixed with other colors, and that's how the painting is today."

"We also thought it was strange at first, after all, the colors often used by the Qin Dynasty should not be able to reconcile purple."

"But later we discovered that the realistic approach used in this painting is likely to be due to the fact that the textiles at that time had already appeared purple, so it was possible to have such a color."

"In order to be able to reconcile this color, we compared many kinds of ores back and forth."

"In the end, I chose to use blue copper and cinnabar to blend, so as to show this purple that really belongs to our China."

Mineral pigments are rich in color and last for a long time. Even after thousands of years, they can still retain a faint color, unless the oxidation is particularly severe.

One of his conjectures has been confirmed, and Chu Chen is now eager to prove his other conjecture.

However, if you want to prove another conjecture of your own, the next request may seem a little unreasonable.

"Curator, I know that you should have an appraisal room where professionals conduct appraisals. Can you put the paintings from the Qin Dynasty and the paintings from the middle and late Tang Dynasty together, so that I can compare them."

Hearing this, the curator frowned unconsciously.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy was introduced by Lao Liu, he would have thought that this guy was an out-and-out liar.

It is obviously for the restoration of the terracotta warriors and horses, why do they suddenly want paintings from the Tang Dynasty?
The curator looked Chu Chen up and down a few times, and found that Chu Chen's eyes were clear, so he felt relieved.

He nodded at Chu Chen, took Chu Chen to pick out two paintings himself, and then took Chu Chen to the appraisal room.

After Chu Chen in the identification room put on his gloves, he carefully observed the skin color of the person in the painting with his hands and eyepieces.

Although, the drawing paper has turned yellow and the original color cannot be seen clearly.

However, it can still be judged that compared with the paintings in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the characters in the paintings of the Qin Dynasty seem to have fairer and ruddy skin.

If only one set of opposite sides was obviously not enough, Chu Chen deliberately asked for a few more comparisons, and after repeated comparisons, he took off his gloves after confirming that his previous guess was correct.

"Thank you for your care. I have already got the answer I want. Thank you very much today, otherwise I don't know what to do."

The curator waved his hand, looking indifferent.

"Where is this? We are all cultural and bloggers, so of course we should help each other."

"Chinese cultural relics still need to be restored by your younger generation. I, an old man, can only help you with poor eyesight now."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled. Those who share the same belief can understand what the other is thinking with just one look.

When Chu Chen was leaving, the curator even deliberately left someone's contact information.

"When restoring these paintings, we bought paint from him."

"His paints are all ground from ore, which happens to be the kind we need most, and it's all right."

"I think that if you need it in the later stage, you can go to him directly. If you are afraid that he will cheat you, you can directly report my name."
