The scene suddenly became quiet.
They were all shocked by the confident aura emanating from Song Qingyu.
After all, in their minds, Song Qingyu is a cheater and should be guilty and afraid.
Instead of like now.
moment.
Finally a man in a shirt stood up.
He is in his early forties, wears glasses, and is well-mannered.
"Miss Song, I've studied the questions you answered. You seem to be quite knowledgeable about antiques from all dynasties, right?"
Song Qingyu: "Yes."
"In that case, let me ask you a question. Do you know anything about the Yohen Tenmoku teacup?"
Song Qingyu nodded.
"Okay, then tell me, how many Yohen Tenmoku tea cups are there in the world today?"
Song Qingyu replied readily, "There is only one left. It flowed into Country R during the late Southern Song Dynasty and later became a treasured possession of the Tokugawa Shogunate. It is now in Country R's national collection."
It seemed that he didn't expect Song Qingyu to answer the question so quickly. The man's face turned ugly for a moment, and after a while he lowered his head and sat down in frustration.
But soon, another audience member stood up.
"The question that gentleman asked just now was too simple. Let me take the challenge. Miss Song, do you dare to accept my challenge?" The speaker was a woman in her thirties. She looked at Song Qingyu with her eyes full of fighting spirit.
Song Qingyu: "Please."
"I heard you work at an antique restoration center. If so, let me ask you a question about restoration," the woman said confidently. "How do you accurately determine whether tiny scratches on antique surfaces are signs of use or just the result of careless restoration?"
When everyone heard such a professional question, they chuckled.
Song Qingyu said: "This question is very simple. The traces left by use usually have a natural direction because they are produced in daily use. For example, when wiped, scratches will often follow the direction of wiping, forming scratches in the up and down or circumferential direction.
The depth and width of the scratches change naturally. Generally speaking, they are shallow at the beginning, gradually deepen as force is applied, and return to shallow at the end, showing a state of shallow, deep and shallow.
Everyone's face showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
After a moment, he suddenly realized something.
Song Qingyu answered two questions in a row, very smoothly from beginning to end, without any lag.
Today's questions are random questions, and it is impossible to know the answers in advance.
Could it be that...what is said on the Internet is fake?
Does Song Qingyu really have real talent and knowledge?
Just as the scene was silent, a white-haired old man stood up.
Although he was over 70 years old, he still had a humble look on his face: "Hello, my name is Meng Wenyu."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on him.
Even Song Qingyu looked at the old man in surprise.
Meng Wenyu.
The first director of the Kyoto Restoration Center.
He is also the first generation of bronze restoration and identification experts.
It was he who repaired the Sword of Gou Jian, King of Yue.
No one expected him to appear here.
When everyone looked at Song Qingyu again, there was a look of gloating in their eyes.
More professional ones are coming.
You can tell whether it is a horse or a mule by testing it.
"Hello, Mr. Meng." Song Qingyu quickly put away the surprise in her eyes and spoke politely.
"My question," Meng Wenyu said, cutting short the nonsense and getting straight to the point, "I have a jade artifact from the Warring States Period. It's made of a local jade species. I analyzed it with an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and found an abnormal trace element content in it, far exceeding that of jade artifacts of the same period and made of the same material. What do you think is the cause?"
This time, Song Qingyu did not give an answer immediately.
Instead, he thought for a long time before slowly saying, “Generally, this situation is caused by two reasons.
One reason is the difference in the origin of the raw materials. During the Warring States Period, the composition of jade veins in various regions would vary. For example, jade produced in different mountains or mines would absorb different trace elements due to the different geological environments when it was formed.
The second is the impact of the processing process. During the jade processing, auxiliary materials containing high concentrations of trace elements may be used.
But in addition to these two factors, I think there is another factor that is also important.
That is the buried environmental factor.
Since the jade artifact in your hand is from the Warring States Period, it must have been buried for a long time.
The soil or the surrounding environment may be rich in certain trace elements, which exchange substances with the jade.
That’s why trace elements are found in it.
but--"
Song Qingyu said this and looked up at Meng Wenyu, "Mr. Meng, the information in your question is limited, so I don't know the answer."
Someone in the audience heard this and laughed disdainfully: "If you don't know, then you don't know. Why are you talking so much about it?"
"Although she answered the first two questions correctly, it doesn't prove that Song Qingyu didn't cheat. All I can say is that as an antique restorer, she is indeed quite skilled, but not as skilled as she showed on the show."
"I think Song Qingyu cheated, slightly, only 40% of the time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to answer all the questions."
“…”
There was laughter at the scene.
Lin Qinxue was in the audience and could finally rest assured.
However, amidst the laughter, Song Qingyu's voice remained calm. She looked at Meng Wenyu and said, "Mr. Meng, could you please announce the correct answer?"
Meng Wenyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Actually, I don't know what the correct answer is."
