Chapter 173 What do the two professors think?



The two sang the same tune and reached a consensus.

Naturally, the subordinates dare not slack off.

In a short while, more than a dozen simple fishing nets were made.

With Lin Han's demonstration, the others dared to try it out.

A net bag was lowered and the half-human-height terracotta figurine was fished out.

Terracotta figurines are generally hollow with holes at the bottom. When they are fished out, mud, sand and dirty water pour into them.

The portion is quite heavy.

Lin Han asked them to slowly drag it up along the edge of the pit.

That way, the net bag won't be damaged and the terracotta figurines won't be smashed.

About two hours.

A dozen people fished out more than twenty terracotta figurines.

By this time, the buyers had brought back rice, anthracite and clay.

They did try their best.

The three items filled a truck.

However, even so, everyone was still staring at the terracotta figurines lying on the ground, covered in mud, and were at a loss as to what to do.

At this time, Team Leader Gao had already sent all irrelevant personnel back.

Restoring terracotta warriors is a technical job and involves industry secrets.

The fewer people who know about it, the better.

Therefore, apart from Lin Han, Bai Tingwei, Nie Shenxian and Zhang Lao, the only people left at the scene were Team Leader Gao and two other experts in charge of identification and restoration of cultural relics.

These two experts are also very famous in their own country, but they are different from Immortal Nie.

Immortal Nie was more of a wild person and had not received any orthodox education in cultural relics appraisal.

The two experts on the scene are from the academic school.

Not only does he frequently participate in on-site inspections of cultural relics, but he also teaches at universities, making him a veritable expert professor.

The two men looked at the terracotta figurines with great sorrow and grief.

One of them was a man in his fifties wearing a white T-shirt, with his hands on his waist and a frown on his face, and asked Team Leader Gao:

"We have salvaged it! But how do we repair it?"

Of course, Team Leader Gao was speechless.

It is true that he is the leader of the cultural relics survey team, but he is not good at identification and restoration.

"This... Master Lin Han, can it really be repaired?"

At this time, Lin Han was standing with his hands behind his back, using a searchlight to examine the terracotta figurines one by one.

Hearing Team Leader Gao's question, Lin Han replied sullenly:

“It’s not a big problem.”

"Not a big problem?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the professor in the white T-shirt sneered:

"This is from the Tang Dynasty! If you can, you can. If you can't, you can't! What do you mean it's not a big problem?"

After he finished speaking, he stared at Lin Han's back with cold eyes and continued:

"I have been repairing cultural relics for so many years, but I have never seen anyone who can repair the Tang Dynasty pottery figurines! I have never seen anyone who can repair pottery figurines that are so badly damaged!"

"Old Zhao!"

The professor in the white T-shirt was interrupted by the older professor who was with him.

"There are many talented people among the people. Maybe Lin Han can really repair it! Otherwise, Bai Bu wouldn't have brought him here."

He mentioned Bai Tingwei intentionally, firstly to give Bai Tingwei face, and secondly, simply to shirk responsibility.

"However, the investigation of the Tang Dynasty terracotta figurines has already attracted the attention of the leaders in Shangjing and even the headquarters."

"If it can't be repaired, at worst we can report it as a construction failure. I don't think the higher-ups will blame us too much!"

“But if you said you could repair it, Lin Han, but ended up destroying the terracotta figurines, then the nature of the matter is completely different!”

hiss……

After saying this, everyone at the scene gasped.

Even Bai Tingwei hesitated for a moment.

It is true that he is the head of the Ministry of Culture.

But he has someone above him.

Moreover, what Professor Hao said just now is true. The survey of terracotta warriors is no longer the responsibility of a single department of the Ministry of Culture.

It has become a project that has attracted national and even global attention.

If things really don't go well, Bai Tingwei can't escape the blame.

“Lin Han…”

Bai Tingwei paused for a moment and called Lin Han, who was bending over, concentrating and even seemed not to hear what Professor Hao said.

"If the repairs are difficult, just suspend them! We won't be here this afternoon anyway, so if we have to talk about responsibility, it's theirs! At most, I'm just a joint liability!"

This was said to Team Leader Gao, Professor Bai and Professor Hao.

Ultimately, it was the construction team's fault for soaking the terracotta figurines in water.

Fortunately, Bai Tingwei and Nie Shenxian were called to Song Town by Lin Han today, so they escaped the disaster.

To be honest, the responsibility does not lie with them at all.

Bang!

As he spoke, Lin Han, who had been bending over to observe the terracotta figurines, stood up, dusted off his hands, and turned to look at Professor Bai Hao:

"If I say it can be fixed, then it can be fixed. If you are afraid of taking responsibility, then just quit!"

"Hey! What are you talking about!"

Young Professor Bai's face turned red with anxiety.

The older Professor Hao said nothing.

Lin Han walked to the front of the truck alone, grabbed the edge of the truck bed with one hand, jumped up, and jumped into the truck bed.

Next, he stood in the truck bed and looked at Team Leader Gao and others:

"Why don't you help quickly?"

Team leader Gao hurried over as well.

Immortal Nie was eager to obtain the scriptures and had been waiting by the truck. After hearing what Lin Han said, he rubbed his hands happily and tried to climb up, imitating Lin Han's example.

Helpless, I tried several times but failed.

I had no choice but to climb up step by step from the ladder prepared at the back of the truck.

Bai Tingwei doesn't have to do the work himself.

As long as Mr. Zhang was helping Lin Han, he would have already started to organize the terracotta figurines.

Professor Bai Hao looked at everyone and felt embarrassed to just stand there. After hesitating for a while, he climbed into the car.

The work is simple, unload the dry rice first.

Place on a moisture-proof cloth.

Then bury the terracotta figurines in rice.

There were about twenty terracotta figurines in total, and less than half a truckload of rice.

The total amount is just right.

Several people buried the last terracotta figurine in the rice, and it was already early morning.

"We have to wait seven or eight hours, take a rest first!"

At Lin Han's command, the exhausted crowd found an empty tent and fell asleep without saying a word.

The next day, around ten o'clock in the morning.

Lin Han, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a series of screams outside.

"Fuck! It's all done!"

“So fast!”

"Hurry up and call everyone to take a look!"

The people speaking were the three people who bought materials yesterday.

Team leader Gao asked them to come over and help.

The three of them came here early in the morning.

Who would have thought that when we arrived at the scene, we found that the terracotta warriors were all buried in rice.

The rice that was dry and white last night has now turned damp and pitch black.

The terracotta warriors buried inside have all returned to dryness.

Some are even drier than when they were first unearthed.

Hearing the sound, Professor Bai Hao, Bai Tingwei and Nie Shenxian also ran out.

The restored dry terracotta figurines left them dumbfounded.

However, no one dared to move, and no one could think of what to say.

Just at the same time, they turned their heads to look at the tent where Lin Han was.

Three or five minutes later, Lin Han walked out of the tent while buttoning his white shirt.

"Lin Han! The terracotta figurines are all done!"

"Your method is really amazing!"

Immortal Nie was so delighted that he wanted to come up and high-five Lin Han to celebrate!

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Professor Bai Hao: "I wonder what the two professors think?"
