I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

Chapter 171 Public opinion explosion

Someone came to ask curator Zhao to help appraise an oil painting today.

The visitor said that he spent [-] million yuan to buy this oil painting from the auction. The auction house said that it was one of the ancient paintings brought by the Ark Fleet from the ancient earth, called "Mona Lisa".

Curator Zhao looked at the painting with a sad look on his face.

He didn't think the painting was real.

According to historical records, the "Mona Lisa" is a classical oil painting, and the painter should, and should not, do such avant-garde and weird things as adding a beard to the heroine in the painting.

Others do not believe it.

The owner of the painting is very powerful, and he didn't pay a lot of money to buy this painting to let others take him for a fool.

The auction official gave the isotope dating report of this painting, confirming that the painting has a history of more than 3000 years, but some people still don’t believe it, so he handed over the painting to the curator of the Museum of Ancient Earth, hoping that the curator Zhao Industry authorities can shut the mouths of these people.

But Director Zhao's current expression made him a little embarrassed: "Director Zhao, is there something wrong with the painting?"

is a bit.

Curator Zhao couldn’t say it directly, so he could only tactfully say: “Count Wilt, let me use the museum’s laboratory to do a detailed test for you again. Although the painting style and characteristics can explain the age to a certain extent, it is still experimental data. more convincing."

Judging from the painting style, this is definitely not the "Mona Lisa" of the ancient earth Renaissance.

"You can enter the laboratory together." Curator Zhao added, otherwise he was worried that Count Wilt would not accept the final result.

After Earl Wilt agreed, the two walked into the underground laboratory of the museum together with the painting, and curator Zhao opened an empty laboratory.

This was originally Lin Xu's studio, with the most complete equipment here, but no one used it after Lin Xu left.

After obtaining the consent of Earl Wilt, Director Zhao took a small piece of oil paint for analysis, including isotope identification, composition analysis, and radioactivity detection...

Count Wilt was bored waiting, but curator Zhao became more and more frightened when he looked at the data.

After a period of time, curator Zhao completed all the inspections, the lights on the instruments and equipment were turned off, and rows of data were displayed scrolling on the light screen.

Earl Wilt stepped forward: "Director Zhao, what's the result? Is it true?"

"This... Count Wilt, the situation is indeed not very good."

"! They lied to me with a fake identification date?"

"Not really," curator Zhao hesitated, "Isotope dating shows that the painting is indeed 3000 years old, but the formula of the oil paint does not match. I think the auctioneer was negligent and didn't find it. "

"Where is it wrong?"

"The toning oil and pigments used in this painting are not products of the earth. The toning oil is made of H7658 star polymer oil, and the paint is mixed with the star rock ore powder of Lehmer star, which can only be accessed in the interstellar era. 3000 years ago, humans on the ancient earth used castor bean oil and other coloring oils, and the pigments include mineral pigments and compound pigments, and the museum has relevant data records." Director Zhao said.

Earl Wilt was surprised and angry. He came to the oil painting, looked at the bearded Mona Lisa and became more and more angry. He picked up a pair of laboratory pliers and threw it on the oil painting.

"Earl, calm down, calm down," curator Zhao hurriedly stopped him, "a 600-year-old painting is considered an antique."

"What is this?" Wilt asked, pointing to the gap in the picture where the paint was knocked off by himself.

Curator Zhao took a look and found a string of letters covered under the corner paint, which seemed to be the signature of the creator.

"Hara Claire Dollard." Curator Zhao thought for a while, remembering this person, "This is a figure of the poet school in the old world. He was active five centuries ago and should be the creator of the painting."

Wilt's eyes darkened.

Even with Lin Xu's incident before, the popularity of the ancient earth in the empire has not diminished, and even because of this incident, which is similar to wealthy gossip to the people of the empire, more people have learned about the ancient earth.

Earl Wilt, who bought fake ancient earth cultural relics, became a hot spot on the Internet for a while, and was ridiculed by the people who eat melons on the star network. A wave of people are stupid and rich, and some people asked why the identification result of the fake is 3000 years old.

Several online popular science accounts popped up to popularize age identification technology in archaeology, explaining that the current technology can change the properties of objects at the molecular level and fool the identification machines, but the related instruments are very expensive, and there are only a few in the entire empire. owned by the laboratory.

Starnet netizens began to speculate who had swallowed Earl Wiltshire's [-] million star coins.

However, some people came forward and said that the last painting by Harakle Dollard also sold for [-] million yuan, and Wirth did not lose money, but the people who did the time revision spent a lot of money.

But soon, everyone's attention was attracted by another piece of news.

The capital star police station cracked a smuggling case of alliance items in the X block. The frequency of alliance item smuggling cases is not low, but this case is so twists and turns that netizens can't help laughing.

The story goes that the smuggler sold an item smuggled from the Alliance to a customer in Block X that, according to the smuggler, dated back to the days of the Ark Fleet.

Customers buy for it too.

This is a box of sleeves that the Ark Fleet took with them when they left the ancient earth.

The customer thought that the set of the ancient earth could give him a different feeling, so he bought it from a smuggler. When the police arrested him, he had just used up the set and hadn't picked it up yet.

As evidence, the police had to take it off for him on the spot and take it away.

And because the ancient earth items will be sent to the ancient earth museum, the police cleaned it up after testing the evidence and sent it to the ancient earth museum.

The photo of museum curator Zhao Chengwen and the police handing over the "cultural relic" was also posted on StarNet by the following reporters. The two held the transparent glass box with their hands together, and smiled awkwardly and politely at the camera.

For a time, the star network was filled with a happy atmosphere, and this magical and embarrassing story was widely circulated.

Since the smugglers were to be convicted, the police asked curator Zhao to identify the cultural relics.

There was another problem with this identification. The isotopic dating of this thing is only 600 years old, but the material it uses is natural rubber, which has not been found in the empire for a long time.

Director Zhao Guan Nanfeng compared the materials with the original natural rubber brought back by the investigation team from the ancient earth, and confirmed that this set is indeed made of natural rubber unique to the ancient earth, and it is impossible to fake it.

But he sent the things to several other laboratories for identification, and the results were all 600 years old, which didn't match up at all.

Netizens exploded, suspecting that this thing had also been changed.

A popular science blogger came out to explain that dating depends on the half-life of elements, and the existing technology can only increase the age, but cannot shorten the history.

He also didn't know why this natural rubber sleeve had problems.

Immediately afterwards, a netizen posted a post, saying that he found a lot of ancient earth artifacts from the Alliance among his grandfather's relics. These were all era purchases from the era when the Alliance and the Empire traded goods relatively loosely before the Battle of Sky Curtain. entered.

He took these things for identification and found that they were only 600 years old.

Netizens:? ? ?Is the Red Moon galaxy different from the time flow of the empire because of its excessive gravity?

One of the netizen noticed with a sharp eye that there was a history textbook of the alliance in the photos of the alliance items on Starnet, and asked the landlord to post the contents of the textbook on the Internet.

The beginning of the alliance history book is: "3000 years ago, the human ark fleet set off from the earth and embarked on a journey to find a new home. After sailing for more than 2000 years, they began to use the transition technology. Trapped in the transition channel for hundreds of years, when leaving the channel, [-] years have passed to the outside world.

"500 years ago, the Ark Fleet split internally, one faction established the Marion Empire in the Einstein Galaxy, and the other established the Exile Fleet Alliance in the Red Moon Galaxy.

"The story of human beings as a cosmic civilization begins here."

After 3 minutes, the post was deleted and the account of the popular science blogger was banned.

But there are still many netizens who downloaded the content of the post. They contacted the popular science blogger to make up for it. Shocked, they re-uploaded the downloaded content to Xingwang, but it was basically deleted within an hour.

Netizens on the forum were excited and kept asking why the administrators kept deleting posts, and whether there were instructions from above. Is all this true?

The administrator was miserable, and the reply to the bombing news was full of panda eyes.

The first post was definitely not deleted by them!Neither is the post on the back.

It wasn't until the posts kept disappearing and the incident became more and more troublesome that the higher-ups finally noticed the public opinion on Starnet and told them to control public opinion with doctrine.

But even now, their deletions account for only a fraction of the disappearing posts, as if someone deleted them before they did.

Forced silence is not real silence, but a form of evidence.

What's more, before silence, people already know the content of the words.

The star network manager is in a state of desperation.

However, the public opinion on the Internet is just a small fight in the circle for the time being. Although it is intense, it has not yet reached the level of intervention by the relevant law enforcement and judicial departments.

But then, the questioning from the slime star really made most people realize the seriousness of the matter.

The diplomatic spokesperson of the slime star faced the whole star, accusing the imperial officials of murdering hundreds of slime stars.

At the press conference, the two slimes, Lua and Lula, who had grown back to a height of one meter, cried and told the camera that they encountered the spaceship of the First Marion Empire Legion on G398, they were abandoned and picked up The death of the companion was faked, and when the two slimes finally escaped to the capital planet, they faced the pursuit of humans again.

After crying miserably, it was the spokesman's turn to speak righteously and accuse the Marion Empire of disregarding life and using dirty means.

A human reporter questioned and refuted that there is no hatred between humans and slimes, and there is no need for the empire to kill a ship of slime miners. This may be a personal grudge, and it will not rise to the height of race.

The spokesperson snorted coldly, and showed the rubbings of the red leather diary to the whole interstellar world.

"Humans and slimes don't have hatred, but the higher-ups of the Marion Empire will use violence to kill anyone who touches their secrets! Whether it's humans, slimes, or other alien races."

"The Marion Empire must come up with an explanation, otherwise no one can tell whether they will continue to persecute the next alien race without a bottom line!"

This press conference is a live broadcast for the whole universe, and the people of the entire empire can see it. Many people have scolded the high-level of the empire eight hundred times. It is not surprising to see the high-level of the empire do such a thing, but it is still inevitable Ashamed and embarrassed.

But the slime spokesperson has already distinguished humans from the high-level empire, and the human people boldly continue to scold the high-level empire.

Some people connected the content in the diary with the popular science on the previous forum, and realized that the content in the alliance history textbook that was constantly deleted was completely true!

And the 3000-year history of the empire...is full of doubts.
