Chapter 1167
Chapter 610 Four Concentric Magical Balls
Early this morning, everyone in Chang Sheng's mansion seemed to be beaming.Especially in the inner courtyard, all the women were smiling, as if some great event had happened.

Of course there are happy events, but it’s not about weddings and funerals, but that Mr. Chang Sheng is going to take part in the grand master assessment today, and almost all the people in the family who know about it are optimistic about whether Wang Sheng can pass the assessment. manner.

Wang Sheng and Meier Qiangwei went out together, accompanied by old Taoist Ling Xu, none of them went directly to Tiangongfang, but invited all the great masters who had been assessed by the great masters to the original Changsheng mansion here.

There is no objection from Linglong Pavilion. There are quite a few people from the various vassal states, and they don’t want to be harassed by those people. It’s convenient to come to Wang Sheng, and you can see a lot of new things. They all like to come to Wang Sheng's side.

As Wang Sheng's nominal master, Master Lu must be present.In addition, there are several great masters in carving, at least three of them are carving inkstones and various study decorations.The rest, there are a few pottery makers and a few jewelry makers, all of which are related to fine carving.

Another special thing is that Qian, who is a master of appraisal, is old.The current Mr. Qian is not a half-bottle of acetic acid that can’t be done anywhere. His broad vision allows him to determine the approximate value and craftsmanship of the things he sees at a glance. Therefore, Mr. Qian is now almost all kinds of masters. permanent examiner.

These are all responsible for the assessment. There are eleven people in total for the assessment of the grand masters.The rest were all here to watch the ceremony, including Tie Lao and others, including the great masters of tailors and blacksmiths in Wang Sheng's mansion, and even the great masters of musical instruments, just to watch the ceremony.

They are all great masters, and Wang Sheng couldn't help but greet them one by one.

The location of the assessment is in the large courtyard outside the living room of the original Changsheng mansion.There is no way, there are too many people, and this place also looks solemn.

Except for Meier and Qiangwei who had seen the semi-finished white jade ball, even the old man didn't know what Wang Sheng's work was.Everyone is looking forward to it, because everyone knows that Wang Sheng is a person who often brings miracles to everyone, so everyone is looking forward to Wang Sheng's works.

In fact, what is expected is not only what is in front of me, even the emperor and empress are actually very curious.However, the identities of these people at the scene doomed the emperor and empress to watch the ceremony, which made the emperor quite regretful.

Those who watched the ceremony sat on the outside, those in charge of the assessment sat in the inner circle, and Wang Sheng was in the middle.

"Okay, Wang Sheng, take out your work!" After everyone sat down, Master Lu said to Wang Sheng on behalf of all the assessment masters.

Master Lu is Wang Sheng's nominal master, and he has half a mentor-student bond. Besides, this is the site of the Great Master's assessment, not an official place, so he is directly called by Wang Sheng's name, not his official position or title.

No one thought there was any problem, and Wang Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it.Master Chong Lu nodded, and Wang Sheng stretched out his hand, put his own work in Na Jiezhong on the table in the middle, and then stepped out.

All eyes immediately turned to the table in the middle.The work Wang Sheng took out was placed on a wooden base.

The base is very simple. In the eyes of all the great masters, it is a regular wooden base carved out of fine wood without any gimmicks. It is round and has a semicircular groove on it, just to put the White jade ball.

Wang Sheng's work is really a white jade ball.However, it is not an ordinary white jade ball, but a concentric ball with a diameter of fifteen centimeters, also called ghost work ball.

On Earth, ghost balls are sets of balls carved from ivory.Ivory carving sets of balls are also called "concentric balls" and "magic work balls".

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou ivory carvers borrowed from the engraved form of stone lions with beads in their mouths. After careful design and research, bold imagination and ingenious craftsmanship, they created new designs and colors of balls inside balls with ivory materials.The set of balls can reach dozens of layers, and modern technology can even reach [-] layers.

However, this is an ivory carving, not a jade carving. Jade is extremely hard and difficult to carve.Modern technology can carve more than a dozen layers of concentric ghostly balls on a diameter of about [-] centimeters, which is already the ultimate.

The concentric spheres carved by Wang Sheng himself are different. With a diameter of 75 centimeters, Wang Sheng carved a total of [-] layers.That is to say, the diameter of [-] centimeters, the radius of [-] centimeters, and [-] millimeters, the thickness of each layer plus the gap is only [-] millimeters.

Wang Sheng carved a millimeter into the gap, leaving only [-]mm of the remaining jade.Not only that, Wang Sheng also carved a simple formation on each floor.

The function of the formation is very simple. It is to let the jade balls of this layer float with the center of the outermost circle as the center. Each layer has a formation, so each layer can be suspended with the center as the center, which is concentric ball.

Each layer is a layer of sets of balls, and each set of balls inside and outside is carved with exquisite and complicated patterns, just placed there, it makes people look extremely complicated.

Wang Sheng used a thin needle to gently flick from the inside to the outside, and all the sets of balls inside and outside began to rotate with a common center.

None of the people present are great masters from all walks of life. If it was a bit strange to see Wang Sheng put up a jade ball with exquisite patterns at first, then now that Wang Sheng has turned every layer, everyone immediately I understand what this is.

Which one of the great masters is not a master of the legendary realm?A casual look and listen reveals that there are at least thirty floors inside.

Because of the formation, Wang Sheng can easily control the rotation of the inner and outer layers.After spinning for a while, Wang Sheng easily controlled all the sets of balls and stopped.

When it stopped, all the carved holes happened to be in place, and they were neatly arranged to form several conical holes.But if you look carefully, the conical hole is also subdivided into dozens of layers.

All the people who watched all this were all dumbfounded.How can there be so many layers carved on such a small jade ball?Moreover, from the outside to the inside, the jade ball has not been damaged at all. How is this possible?

Everyone has no idea how it was carved out, is it from the outside to the inside?Are those tapered holes the place to start from the inside?
"Wang Sheng, how many layers have you carved in total?" Master Lu looked at this concentric ghostly crafted ball in great surprise, and asked in disbelief.
