Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

This celadon Buddha statue is more than two feet tall. It has a dignified and kind appearance. The top of its head has a distinct bun. One foot is on auspicious clouds, and there is a unicorn under the other foot. It holds a pestle to subjugate demons and has a backlight. Judging from the appearance, it should be Manjushri Bodhisattva.

As Gu Chaoyue looked at it, he found the celadon Buddha statue more pleasing to his eyes. "Old Doctor Hou, among all the treasures, this Buddha statue is the most beautiful. Is it a replica?"

Doctor Lao Hou shook his head helplessly, "This is an object imitated from the Song Dynasty in the Republic of China. Of course it has to be good-looking. Moreover, it is new and the glaze color is naturally good-looking. This kind of thing will deceive laymen like you."

Yuanni took a look and saw that it was indeed a replica, produced in the Republic of China. It was only slightly warm in her hand.

"Gu Chao, help me hold on while I look at the balance."

Gu Chao agreed, moved the Buddha statue up, and showed Yuan Ni the money.

Dr. Hou sighed, "Why don't you believe it? To say that this thing is an imitation of the real thing, anyone who doesn't know the basics will probably get a slap in the face."

Yuan Ni looked at the bottom mark. Different from other porcelains, this bottom mark was not fired, but the year number was engraved with a knife.

That's right, the most famous of the Song Dynasty were the five official kilns, and the five official kilns were headed by Ru kiln.

The biggest feature of these five official kilns is that they do not leave a deposit when purchasing goods for the palace.

If there is a base, it is engraved manually.

"This is an imitation of the Ru kiln Buddha statue from the Republic of China. It's really like it. Old Doctor Hou, how do you know it's an imitation?" Yuanni clapped her hands and signaled Gu Chao to put the Buddha statue down.

This Buddha statue looks so flawless, its expression is vivid, and its clothing style is all the same. With Dr. Hou's half-hearted eyes, he should not be able to tell whether it is genuine or fake.

"Hey, this was made by a person in the Republic of China. This person specialized in making imitations and was quite famous at the time. My grandfather helped him cure his chronic illness, so he gave this Buddha statue to my grandfather as a thank you gift. .

Of course, if it had not been given to my grandfather and it had been on the market, it would have probably been regarded as genuine. "Lao Doctor Hou was very proud.

Although the Buddha statue is an imitation, it is beautifully made and has been passed down in the Hou family.

Yuanni nodded, "That's it. Please lend me this Buddha statue."

"It's said to be a fake, but you still want to borrow it?"

"This is made by everyone. Judging from the appearance and materials, there are no big flaws. It can be used to fool Tom."

"You don't understand. After the gambling, a carbon [-] test will be carried out. Then the Buddha statue will be exposed." Dr. Hou was very anxious.

Yuan Ni smiled and nodded, "It is precisely because I want to do carbon [-] determination that I chose this Buddha statue."

If it were judged manually, Yuanni would not dare to use this trick.

At this moment, both Gu Chao and Dr. Hou were a little confused. How to bet?

Are you betting that Tom has poor eyesight and cannot tell that this is a fake, or is he betting that he has good eyesight and can tell that this Buddha is a high imitation from the Republic of China?

Yuanni smiled and told her plan, "I bet Tom can tell that this is a fake."

Dr. Hou spread his hands and said, "That means Tom wins. This is a replica. Even if it can hide it from the guys at Xiangyuanzhai, it can't hide it from the carbon [-] detector."

Human eyes may make mistakes, but machines never make mistakes.

"What I want to use is the carbon [-] detector. Although foreigners worship this machine, it actually has a big flaw, and that is..."

There is a big loophole in the carbon [-] detector. As long as the test items pass the airport security inspection, it will not be able to detect the age accurately.

For example, modern fired ceramic handicrafts can have an additional 500 years of history when they pass through airport security and are tested for carbon [-].

If you want your porcelain to last longer, just take it through security checks a few more times.

Why is this?

The basis of carbon [-] testing is to test the carbon [-] content in items to estimate the age of the item.

The older the artifacts are, the less carbon-[-] they contain.

The airport security machine is actually an X-ray machine, which can reduce the carbon [-] content in porcelain.

It’s hard to explain, but people of this era don’t know this secret yet.And Yuanni came from the future. This huge loophole is a piece of history for her. Of course she knows everything about it and knows how to exploit it.

In fact, in official history, due to this loophole in the carbon [-] detector, many things were misread, causing great losses to collectors.

Old Doctor Hou and Gu Chao were dumbfounded, "Is this really true?"

"It really is."

Doctor Lao Hou pointed to his collection, "Then if I take this Qianlong official kiln and go through the security inspection, can it become a Song Dynasty kiln?"

"This won't work. There's still money left in this official kiln." Yuanni couldn't laugh or cry.

This is true. Carbon [-] is not omnipotent. For example, some objects with clear dates do not need carbon [-] detection.

No matter how old the Qianlong official kiln is, the words "Qianlong imperial production" on the base cannot be changed.

Only celadon Buddha statues are inherently high-imitation objects. After carbon [-] testing, they can be as real as fakes.

"Since Tom dares to set up a ring on our territory, he must have real skills. This celadon Buddha statue is perfectly made, but the imitation must have flaws. I bet Tom can tell that it is a fake. As long as he determines that it is a fake, Then we will definitely win.”

Speaking of which, Gu Chao and Dr. Hou finally understood Yuanni's plan.

"Not to mention, this plan may seem risky, but in fact, winning in the face of danger can be used to control the foreign devil." Doctor Lao Hou nodded in approval.

Gu Chao pondered for a while, "I think it's okay."

Since he dared to bet and won, it shows that Tom has good vision. Yuanni Bingxing is taking a risk, not betting that Tom can't see the fake, but betting that he can see it, and then use the loopholes of Carbon [-] to fight back hard. Tom.

"But, Comrade Xiao Yuan, how do you know that the carbon [-] detector has such a loophole?" Dr. Hou thought about it and asked the question that puzzled him the most.

Yuan Ni was well prepared, "I heard from my grandma that this is his family's special cooking skill. You must not spread it to others."

Dr. Hou covered his mouth and said, "No, I won't tell anyone."

There is an airport in the capital now, but ordinary people can't get in. Gu Chao was ordered to go to the airport in a critical situation, and found some connections to get into the airport, and went through one and a half security checks on the Buddha statue.

The airport staff thought he had a special mission, so they cooperated throughout the process and promised to keep it confidential.

After passing the security check, everyone looked for a carbon [-] detector.

Using this machine to detect the Buddha statue showed that it was more than 750 years old.

Now, Gu Chao and Dr. Hou no longer had any doubts. The two were gearing up and waiting to go to the ring with Yuan Ni the next day.

I wonder if Tom will be fooled?
