Chapter 354: The Real Jade Buddha
Then he started making it.
He skillfully mixes various chemical reagents and uses the reactions between chemical substances to simulate the color and texture of antiques.
His hands were steady as a rock, and every movement was precise.
When creating the texture, he used some special tools and techniques to make the surface texture of the imitation almost exactly the same as that of the real antique. Those subtle lines are like traces left by time, full of the vicissitudes of history.
After a day of hard work in seclusion, Qi Tongwei finally completed his work.
He looked at the imitation in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.
This imitation is almost the same as the real antique in terms of color, texture, and weight when held in the hand.
That night, Qi Tongwei took a box and strode directly to the office of the relevant department.
Without the slightest hesitation, he placed the box on the table, his eyes revealing an eagerness and confidence: "Time is running out. I must act tonight."
Everyone in the office was startled by his sudden appearance.
They were originally sitting together, arguing over the details of the two plans.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Qi Tongwei appear.
The water lion widened his eyes and looked at Qi Tongwei in disbelief: "You...where did you get this from?"
His voice was full of surprise, his eyes were fixed on the box, and his heart was full of doubts.
Jin Shi also stood up, his mouth wide open, and after a long while he stammered, "Qi Tongwei, this isn't a real antique, is it? How did you suddenly get this?"
His face was full of shock. He had never expected that Qi Tongwei would appear with a box at this time and claim that he would take action immediately.
Long Shi also looked at Qi Tongwei in astonishment. He frowned and asked, "Qi Tongwei, what's going on? What's in your box? Don't cause any trouble."
Jin Shi also came forward, staring at the box intently, and echoed, "Yeah, Qi Tongwei, you're so mysterious, what are you up to?"
Qi Tongwei didn't say anything, but just opened the box quietly.
In an instant, a crystal clear jade Buddha appeared before everyone.
The jade Buddha exudes a soft luster, as if it carries a sacred aura.
Both the craftsmanship and the materials are exquisite.
Every line is smooth and natural, as if it was carefully carved by the most skilled craftsmen.
The material of the jade Buddha is of superior quality. The texture of the jade is delicate and unique, revealing a unique sense of luxury, just like the mysterious mark left on it by the years.
When everyone saw this jade Buddha, they all gasped in shock.
Tushi's eyes widened, and his voice unconsciously rose an octave: "Qi Tongwei, where...where did this jade Buddha come from? This is no joke!"
The mountain lion was so startled that he took several steps back. He stammered, "How...how did you get this jade Buddha? It's a priceless treasure!"
When the department leader saw the jade Buddha, his face instantly turned ashen. His eyes burned with anger, and he roared angrily, "Qi Tongwei, you are too arrogant. You actually took the jade Buddha right in front of us!"
The leader's voice echoed in the office with an unquestionable majesty.
His hands were shaking with anger as he pointed at Qi Tongwei and continued to scold him, "Do you know that the current market value of this jade Buddha is already tens of billions! It's an important national cultural relic. How can you act so recklessly? Are you trying to drag us all down with you?"
The leader's eyes were full of doubts about Qi Tongwei. He felt that Qi Tongwei's behavior was simply unreasonable. This was no longer a simple adventure, but an almost crazy act.
Qi Tongwei, however, remained calm. He looked at the angry leader and the shocked crowd and said slowly, "Leader, please don't be angry. This jade Buddha is a replica I made myself."
His voice was calm and composed, in stark contrast to the excitement of the people around him.
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, everyone was shocked again.
They couldn't believe that the jade Buddha in front of them, which looked exactly like the real thing, was actually a replica made by Qi Tongwei.
This gave them a new understanding of Qi Tongwei's abilities, but also filled them with complex emotions about the next actions.
This incident was like a bombshell, instantly causing panic among everyone in the office.
This is not just a simple question of whether Qi Tongwei completed the task ahead of schedule. It also means that there may be serious dereliction of duty by the people guarding the antiques under their noses.
The leader's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. Without saying a word, he picked up the phone and dialed.
When the person in charge of guarding the Jade Buddha answered the call, he heard his leader's angry questioning before he could figure out what was going on.
The sound was like a thunderclap, and it scared him so much that he almost threw his phone away.
His face turned pale in an instant, and he looked as if he had been frightened out of his life.
He ran to the place where the jade Buddha was stored in a panic, staring at the jade Buddha in front of him, as if this could prove his innocence.
He stammered into the phone, "That's impossible! Isn't the Jade Buddha always there? I just checked, and it's right here. How could it possibly be wrong?"
His voice was full of fear and confusion, and his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
"Ah?" Hearing the guard's words, everyone looked at Qi Tongwei in confusion.
Qi Tongwei, however, kept his hands on his chest, saying nothing, with a faint smile on his face, which seemed to hide many secrets.
After a while, the person in charge of guarding the office came trotting and opened the office door while holding the Jade Buddha.
He gasped and said, "This is the Jade Buddha in the museum. What's wrong with it?"
But when his eyes swept over the jade Buddha on the table, his jaw dropped.
His mouth was wide open and couldn't close for a long time, his eyes were full of fear and confusion.
"This, how is this possible?" His voice changed and he looked blankly at the identical jade Buddha on the table.
Others also gathered around, their eyes darting back and forth between the two jade Buddhas, as if they were watching a magical magic show.
There was disbelief on their faces at first, and then they gradually realized what was happening.
They were secretly amazed in their hearts, could this be the imitation technology that Qi Tongwei had mentioned before?
This idea shocked them even more. They never imagined that Qi Tongwei had such superb imitation skills and could create a jade Buddha that was almost exactly the same as the real one.
