If the disciple has a request, he will naturally not watch it when he is a master.

Mr. Liu specializes in cultural security work. Although he is not very proficient in cultural security work in Western art, in terms of Mr. Liu's status in the circle, as long as he makes two calls, some experts who are proficient in cultural security work in Western art will help.

Not to mention that there are many extremely good people in this batch of treasures that are incredible to the world. Being able to see and touch such treasures with your own eyes is something that every expert in cultural security work dreams of.

Similarly, this matter cannot be made public. After all, these treasures entered the customs through illegal means. No matter what Yang Jing’s purpose is, if the procedures are not complete, it is not complete, and it is impossible to get along with the edge. Therefore, the cultural security work of these treasures must be kept confidential.

However, this was not difficult for Mr. Liu. He directly called two experts who specialized in cultural protection of Western artworks. Then, according to the suggestions of these two experts, Yang Jing directly spent more than 7 million US dollars to purchase a batch of professional maintenance tools from abroad.

In the future, Western artworks will definitely be indispensable, and even digging out a few treasures may not be impossible. The museum of ours will also be indispensable for artworks and antique cultural heritage protection, so it is still very necessary to buy an advanced cultural heritage protection equipment.

Now for Yang Jing, things that can be solved with money are never a problem. With a wave of his hand, in less than ten days, the high-end cultural protection tool was transported to Tianqu by air.

These things cannot be used as cultural relics protection in Yanjing. These treasures themselves have entered China in violation of regulations. If they are used as cultural relics protection from Yanjing, it would be simply giving eye drops to relevant departments. Yang Jing did not want to do such a dying thing.

Yang Jing rented a factory building in a bankrupt small factory in the suburbs of Tianqu, and rented all the houses in the yard and inside. It took three days to install air conditioners in several of the offices and temporarily sealed the windows, and a simple workroom was formed.

It just so happened that Chris and the others had spent a twenty-day holiday at home. After a call from Yang Jing, the twelve bodyguards immediately came to China. The twelve of them would take on the security work of this temporary workplace.

In addition to those two experts, Yang Jing’s four masters and Mr. Yang who lived in seclusion in Tianqu all came. Everyone wanted to see this group of extremely precious treasures as soon as possible.

Due to historical reasons, many Chinese national treasures are now floating abroad and cannot come back. But now, treasures that are also regarded as national treasures by Westerners have actually fallen into China. It is fake that these old experts say they are not excited.

After everything was ready, a container truck quickly drove into this remote yard.

Without hiring loaders, Yang Jing and Chris and others started together. In an hour, more than a dozen wooden boxes were removed. Yang Jing did not bring some wooden boxes. They were all gems or jewelry that did not require cultural heritage protection. Those things did not require cultural heritage protection.

These old experts, including Mr. Yang, were all like wolf who saw meat, staring at these big boxes with green light from beginning to end, and they wanted to take off one and open the other on the spot.

When all the boxes were transported into the workshop, several old guys surrounded them and stared at Yang Jing one by one. The meaning was very clear - you kid quickly open a box and let me see it, otherwise you kid would be nice!

OK, these old men, Yang Jing, can't afford to offend him, and any of them can curse him as a grandson. Yang Jing doesn't want to cause such trouble.

After Chris and the others told Yang Jing that everything was safe on the radio, Yang Jing opened the first box.

The bronze "David" is contained in this box. Because it is a bronze sculpture, it can be operated without putting it in an argon compartment. Compared with calligraphy and paintings, sculptures such as bronze and marble are undoubtedly much more "stronger".

The two experts invited by Mr. Liu, one of whom was surnamed Zhao and the other was surnamed Tong, were both old men in their sixties.

After the bronze "David" revealed its true face, Mr. Liu and the others were fine, but Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tong's eyes were almost glaring out!

They already knew what they were going to do cultural heritage protection work and were mentally prepared. But when they saw this bronze "David" with their own eyes, the two old men were still excited and almost had a heart attack.

"It's really "David!" Old Zhao touched the sculpture with intoxicated eyes, with his expression and movements. Those who didn't know thought that the old man had regained his second spring and found his beloved woman.

Mr. Tong was almost the same. He also touched the sculpture with an intoxicated look on his face, and used his fingertips to feel the details from the sculpture.

However, Yang Jing looked at the expressions and movements of the two old men and felt goose bumps all over his body.

The color of the bronze "David" is not very good because of oxidation, but this is a naked male fruit sculpture after all. It would be better to say that if the two old men were women, but you are both old men in your sixties, why are you so fascinated by a naked male sculpture?

There is no need to think about this kind of scene. Just take a look at it and people with insufficient concentration will immediately retreat.

Maybe I knew that this sculpture was the original work of Michelangelo, so Yang Jing must be different from these old experts.

Not to mention Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tong, even Mr. Yang and the four masters were fascinated.

The seven old men, who were over 450 years old, collectively showed an intoxicated expression at a naked male fruit sculpture, and they also touched the naked sculpture from time to time. This scene...

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tong "touched" for more than twenty minutes, and finally Mr. Zhao said with certainty: "This is a miracle! If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes or touching it with his own hands, I really can't believe that Michelangelo's bronze "David" still exists in the world."

Mr. Tong nodded and said, "That's right, Lao Zhao is right! According to our judgment, we are more than 90% sure that this sculpture is the original work of Michelangelo. Of course, if you can use an instrument to identify it, you will be more sure!"

In fact, when an immortal work like the bronze "David" is seen, one will have a general judgment in his heart.

Why is Michelangelo's "David" known as the top ten sculptures in the world? Why have so many sculptors imitated "David" over the years but none of them succeeded?

As the saying goes, "It has been imitated and never surpassed", it refers to the pinnacle of such masters. It would be great if one such work could be published in hundreds of years. As for transcending, it is simply impossible.

Even if you reprint a David with a 3D printer, it may be exactly the same as the original, but it will definitely lack the temperament contained in the original!

That's right, what is exquisite in such a peak work that happens once in a few hundred years is not the master's technique, but the master gives the work the real vitality! This is the fundamental reason why the master is called a master.

Even if those imitations are exactly the same as the original, they lack the most important thing, that is, the vitality of sculpture!

Although the bronze "David" in front of me looks grim, you can tell at a glance that this sculpture is definitely not simple. Even laymen who don’t know how to behave will feel this strong when they first see this sculpture.

This is the master's pinnacle work! It can make people who don't know how to behave well!

It was like the princess who came back specially, she was an amateur, but when she first saw this bronze "David", Yang Jing beside her could clearly feel the joy from the princess.

The four masters and Mr. Yang are not very proficient in Western art. However, antique artworks in the world are all common, so they can naturally see the extraordinary nature of this sculpture at a glance.

Works created by real masters will resonate with everyone!

Since I have seen this bronze "David", the next step is to protect this bronze sculpture.

This kind of work must be done by professional personnel, whether it is tools or other items, it must be professional, otherwise it is very likely to damage this bronze "David".

Fortunately, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tong had already obtained the list before they came. They knew they needed to do cultural security work on those things, so they prepared quite well.

In fact, the main things that require Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tong to do cultural security work are oil paintings. Bronze sculptures like this are fine, whether Mr. Liu or Mr. Guo. After all, there are many bronze cultural relics in China, and many of the cultural security work are done by these cultural security experts from the Palace Museum.

Doing cultural heritage protection is a very complicated and meticulous thing, and it takes a long time. Just like this bronze sculpture needs to be protected, there are generally three methods, the most traditional method is the corrosion inhibitor protection method. As for the more advanced laser rust removal method and glow discharge method, although the effect is also very good, the demand for equipment is too high.

Therefore, after discussions by several experts, we are preparing to use the traditional corrosion inhibitor protection method to protect this bronze "David".

Corrosion inhibitor, that is, benzotriazole (BTA), is used for the protection of bronzes. It has been more than 50 years since then. It has a very good effect and has the least damage to bronzes.

However, using this method takes a long time. There are several steps that require vacuuming, and another step is to keep the temperature at a constant temperature for eight hours...

Anyway, although this method is very safe, it takes a long time. Just a complete set of maintenance of this bronze "David" will take at least more than twenty hours.

However, with Mr. Guo and Mr. Liu helping, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tong divided the work and cooperated. While maintaining the bronze "David", they could also maintain the next bronze sculpture.
Chapter completed!
