Chapter 544 Black Pottery (continued)

Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were more convinced by Chu Chen. Besides, the real thing cannot be faked. The tall handle cup in front of me fits the characteristics of eggshell pottery very well. It can be described as "thin as paper, hard as porcelain, bright as mirror, and black as lacquer." , the light, tall and beautiful shape, the exquisite production skills, and the ultimate senses, the two of them were amazed.

"This eggshell pottery is so beautiful. I never thought I could see such exquisite eggshell pottery in my lifetime." Lao Wu couldn't help admiring after watching it carefully.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "I said, fifth, it's not like you haven't seen eggshell pottery in museums, so it's necessary to exaggerate!"

"That's different!" Lao Wu repeatedly waved his hands and said, "The museums are all separated by layers of glass. The feeling of observing from a close distance is much better than going to a museum!"

Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping nodded in agreement, after all, it is better to feel than to see.

"This eggshell pottery is really amazing. It has such a dazzling luster after four to five thousand years. I don't know what technology people used to make it at that time." Zhou Wenping said with some surprise.

"I have read the relevant information."

Chu Chen explained to the two of them: "According to research, the reason why the surface of eggshell pottery has such a shiny black and metallic luster is because the craftsmen at that time adopted calendering and carburizing coloring processes."

"The unique carburizing process penetrates carbon molecules into the micropores of the carcass at high temperature, making the surface of the calendered carcass form a denser, smoother, finer and smoother black protective layer, making the eggshell Pottery has not been eroded by water and soil for thousands of years, and it has the effect we see now."

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, the two of them nodded with some understanding, but they were very surprised that the craftsman had mastered the calendering and carburizing coloring process in 5000 years. I felt a deep admiration for that delicate thin body.

After a while, Lao Wu said, "I think the tire on the rim of the cup seems to be a little thinner compared to the ones seen in the museum. Why don't I take the lower calipers and measure it!"

Hearing what Lao Wu said, both Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping were interested. It happened that there was a vernier caliper in Chu Chen's office, so Chu Chen took it and measured the thickness of the edge of the mouth. Shocked expressions appeared on the faces of the three of them.

"I can't be wrong! It's only 0.16 mm!" Zhou Wenping said with an incredulous expression.

Don't underestimate the data of 0.04 millimeters. This data can be said to be a big gap in technology, which cannot be crossed for a long time, and this time may be hundreds or thousands of years.

It is precisely because of this that the three people were so shocked. They really couldn't figure out how the craftsmen four to five thousand years ago could do it. Could it be that some alien taught it?
In fact, when it comes to the eggshell pottery of the Longshan culture, in addition to the puzzling process of drawing the embryo, the selection of pottery clay is also a difficult problem that has troubled scholars.

You should know that the general eggshell pottery is made of local clay raw materials, and the diameter of its extremely fine clay particles is no more than 1 mm. Then, what tools were used to filter the clay by the ancestors 5000 years ago when there was no wire mesh? of?There is no definite answer to this question so far.

Of course, it is precisely because the eggshell pottery has such a mysterious color, and because the unearthed eggshell pottery products are quite rare, there are fewer complete wares than the official kiln porcelain and Yuan blue and white, plus its pleasing appearance.Therefore, eggshell pottery has a potential market demand, and the value of high-quality products is even more expensive.

The thinnest part of the piece of eggshell pottery that Chu Chen obtained was only 0.16 mm, a data that Chu Chen had never seen before, and its value has risen even more because of this.

Later, Chu Chen was afraid that the data would be inaccurate, so he asked Lao Wu to borrow two vernier calipers, and the result was the same. By this time, they didn't know how to describe their feelings other than being amazed.

At this moment, Chu Chen's cell phone rang. Seeing that it was his uncle's number, he stepped aside and picked it up.

"Achen, that bald-headed Biao confessed, the person who ordered him was Liu Yu." Zhao Qirui's angry voice came from the other end of the phone.

Not to mention that Zhao Qirui felt angry, Chu Chen also felt very angry. Some time ago, Liu Yu had just been put in confinement, and it happened again within a few days.And it was precisely because of the wrong judgment on this matter that let Chu Chen relax his vigilance, which caused serious consequences later.

Of course, Chu Chen himself is somewhat responsible for this matter, but he thinks that Liu Yu is also one of the culprits, not to mention that Liu Yu seems to be a mad dog who doesn't remember to fight, and comes to make troubles one after another, which is really tolerable and unbearable !

"Achen, how do you want to deal with this matter?" Zhao Qirui asked.

Chu Chen pondered for a while, and then said, "Uncle, let him do whatever it hurts!"

"Okay, I got it!" Zhao Qirui said: "By the way, you should hurry up and let Hu Yong come back. I'm really worried that there is no one around you. If you are worried about the kiln factory, I will send you someone there." .”

"Ok!"

During this period of time, after careful observation, Hu Yong felt that the director and employees of the kiln factory should be quite trustworthy.That being the case, coupled with the security guards sent there earlier, Hu Yong can come back.

But after all, the situation over there was a bit important and special, and Chu Chen could feel at ease if he sent someone there, so he thought about it and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen received a call from the old village head after a while. He said that on January 12, the mountain road will be open to traffic. If he has time, he will go back to attend the opening ceremony.

Hearing the good news, Chu Chen was very happy, and immediately agreed to the old village chief that he would definitely go back when the time came.

With this road, the traffic in Lujia Village will be convenient in the future, and the forsythia planting plan he asked his sister to consult can also be investigated.

If the surrounding area of ​​Lu's village is really suitable for planting forsythia, then it won't be long before Lu's village can get rid of poverty and become rich, and then it can also drive the surrounding villages to become rich. Thinking about it, he feels a little excited.

…………

In the next few days, Chu Chen's life was dull and fulfilling. In addition to carving a piece of jade jewelry for his family, the previous bronze mirror with gold and silver interlaced dragon patterns was also cleaned. When he saw that When looking at the true face of the bronze mirror, he couldn't help but let out a sound of exclamation,

The craftsmanship of this bronze mirror is extremely precise, and the embedded gold and silver threads are as thin as hair, which can be described as exquisite workmanship.And what makes Chu Chen even more happy is that after more than 2000 years, most of the gold and silver threads on it are still quite well preserved, which can be said to be quite difficult.

It's rare to see such a heavy weapon, plus Chu Yulan's wound is getting better every day, and both Yu Guangjie and Liu Yu have been dealt with, plus talking on the phone with Wu Ke every day, Chu Chen's mood It got better again completely.

Soon, the time came to NO.11, because the road in Lujia Village will be open to traffic tomorrow, so Chu Chen must set off today, and besides Chu Chen's place this time, Chu Yongning and his wife and Chu Yulan will also go together.

Originally, Chu Yulan's gunshot wound was still not healed, and the family didn't want her to go, but she was stubborn and looked miserable all day long, so in the end everyone had no choice but to agree.

The journey was uneventful, the two cars carrying Chu Chen's family, Hu Yong and a guard finally arrived at Chu Chen's alma mater at five o'clock in the afternoon.

However, what they saw on the road and the poverty in this mountain area made Chu Yongning and his wife feel very uncomfortable. The son lived in such an environment since he was a child. Even if his adoptive father took good care of him, he must have suffered a lot. I feel even more guilty towards Chu Chen.

At this time, the old principal, the teachers and students living in the school were already standing at the school gate to welcome them.

In addition, Chu Chen also noticed that not far from the school, colorful flags had already been flying, which should be preparations for tomorrow's opening ceremony.

After getting out of the car and exchanging pleasantries, Chu Chen quickly introduced the two parties.

Chu Yongning shook hands with the old principal, and greeted: "Principal Tian, ​​you have worked hard!"
He had already heard about the deeds of the old principal from Chu Chen before. Such a principal who is dedicated to the students is indeed worthy of admiration.

"Where is!"

The old principal has already learned about Chu Yongning's identity from Chu Chen. Although he has met many officials, big and small, he has never been in contact with Chu Yongning at this level. He feels a little nervous in his heart. Hearing what Chu Yongning said , He quickly said: "Secretary Chu, I am nothing, it is hard work for you to manage everything every day!"

Chu Yongning said with a smile: "Principal Tian, ​​you are being modest. Your job is to cultivate the future of the motherland. This job is indispensable to the country. There is no distinction between us!"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" The old principal was still very nervous, and he didn't know what to say next.

To avoid the embarrassment of the old principal, Chu Chen quickly said: "Uncle Tian, ​​why don't you let the teacher and classmates go back, I will take my dad to have a look at the school."

"Good good!"

The old principal nodded repeatedly, and then he asked the teachers and students to go back first, while he accompanied Chu Chen's family to visit the school.

On the way back to the dormitory, because of the old principal's address to Chu Yongning and his reaction, the teachers all guessed who Chu Yongning was. Some said he was a department-level cadre, and some said he was a department-level cadre.

"I think it should be at least a ministerial-level cadre!" said a female teacher.

"Ministry-level cadres?" Others were a little unconvinced.

"Why, you don't believe me?" The female teacher explained: "It's very simple. It's not like our principal has never seen a department-level cadre. How could he be so nervous? And you didn't see it. There are two bodyguards next to him. If How can there be bodyguards if you are not a high-ranking official like a ministerial cadre?"
