Chapter 385 How come these eyes are more powerful than identification equipment?!
Qi Tongwei added: "But this fake is a Song Dynasty imitation of a Tang Dynasty piece. It's normal that you didn't see it at first glance."
His voice was calm and nonchalant, as if he was simply stating an insignificant fact.
However, his words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the experts' hearts hard.
Suddenly, all the experts blushed.
They are all internationally renowned treasure appraisers. In the field of antique appraisal, they have always been regarded as authorities and highly respected.
In his opinion, being taught a lesson by a layman, a special forces soldier who was just an unknown person in their eyes, was a great shame and humiliation.
Their reputation was accumulated through countless appraisals, research, and lectures over the years, but now it was easily trampled upon by this special forces soldier who seemed to have nothing to do with antique appraisal.
"You...you are a special forces soldier, what do you know about antique identification? It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse." The expert roared angrily, his voice trembling with excitement.
He tried to save face for himself and his colleagues. He was unwilling to admit his mistakes, and even more unwilling to accept the fact that he was being taught a lesson by Qi Tongwei.
Although the other experts did not speak, their expressions were also very ugly.
They felt that their professionalism in this field had been completely denied by Qi Tongwei. Although Qi Tongwei said it was normal that he didn't notice it, this "tolerance" seemed to them to be a disguised humiliation.
Several experts wanted to say something, but Qi Tongwei knew very well that if they stayed any longer, the treasure appraisal world would probably undergo a major change.
So he nodded to Long Shi, and the two of them went to do the finishing work.
The experts watched them leave with mixed feelings.
After the previous incident, Qi Tongwei joined the process of sorting and storing antiques.
At first, the experts didn't care much about Qi Tongwei's involvement in this process.
In their eyes, Qi Tongwei was just a special forces soldier. Although he had shown some amazing insights in the appraisal of that painting before, that might just be good luck or some research on that painting.
But when Qi Tongwei started working, he seemed like a different person, working at an astonishing speed.
Once, an expert took out a seemingly ordinary porcelain vase and handed it to Qi Tongwei with a hint of provocation, saying, "Sparrow, take a look at this."
Qi Tongwei only glanced at it indifferently and said calmly, "This is a blue and white vase with a lotus pattern from the Ming Dynasty. It's authentic. The signature on the bottom is also in line with the style of the time."
After hearing this, the expert felt secretly disdainful. He thought Qi Tongwei was just talking nonsense.
He and several other experts gathered together and began to carefully examine the porcelain vase using various instruments. They carefully examined every texture on the vase with a magnifying glass and conducted an in-depth study of the signature.
After some trouble, the conclusion they finally came to was exactly the same as what Qi Tongwei said.
As things like this continued to happen, the experts' suspicion was gradually replaced by shock.
He can tell the whole story of any antique with just one glance.
Once, they encountered a very tricky bronze artifact.
The rust on this bronze artifact looks a bit strange, and experts are arguing about it. Some believe that it is an authentic artifact, but the rust has been processed later; others believe that it is a clever fake.
Qi Tongwei walked over, took a look at the bronze artifact, and said, "This is a genuine artifact from the Western Zhou Dynasty. However, it was buried in a special soil environment, which is why the rust is in this unique state. Look at the decoration here, it is a sacrificial decoration unique to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the casting technique is also typical of that period."
After listening to Qi Tongwei's words, the experts began to conduct identification in the direction he said with half belief and half doubt.
After a long period of research, they found that every detail Qi Tongwei said was correct.
Since then, the experts have been completely convinced by Qi Tongwei.
Their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Qi Tongwei, just like students seeing a knowledgeable teacher.
There was no longer any suspicion or contempt he had before, but he sincerely admired Qi Tongwei's ability, which was comparable to that of high-precision instruments.
During this process, the higher authorities also contacted several friendly countries to return their lost antiques.
When these cultural relics were sent back to friendly countries, the other party was extremely grateful to Xia State.
This not only enhanced the friendship between countries, but also earned Xia more respect internationally.
......
After returning home, the plane slowly landed on the runway. With a harsh sound as the tires rubbed against the ground, the plane finally stopped steadily on the apron.
The cabin door slowly opened and Qi Tongwei's figure appeared at the door.
At this time, the tarmac was already full of people.
The senior leaders stood tall and straight, with solemn and serious expressions, and their uniforms looked particularly straight under the sunlight.
The staff of the antique protection department were also lined up in an orderly manner. Among them were many well-known figures who had appeared on TV many times. Their faces were filled with anticipation and respect.
The moment Qi Tongwei stepped onto the plane's gangway, it seemed as if an invisible force spread in the air.
Suddenly, a loud "salute" sounded like thunder.
In an instant, everyone seemed to be driven by the same force and saluted Qi Tongwei in unison.
The movements were so uniform, as if they had been rehearsed countless times, that the height and angle of the arms were almost exactly the same.
The scene is truly spectacular.
Everyone present was like a solemn statue, their eyes full of respect for Qi Tongwei.
The members of the Dragon Group are generally knowledgeable. They have carried out various dangerous and confidential missions and witnessed many big scenes.
However, they had never seen a scene like today.
Long Shi opened his eyes wide, his heart filled with shock. He couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless.
The water lion and the golden lion were also shocked. They looked at each other and saw the same shock in each other's eyes.
In the crowd, there was an expert in antiques. His hair had turned gray and time had carved deep wrinkles on his face.
At this moment, his body was trembling slightly and tears of excitement were flashing in his eyes.
His lips kept trembling, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions.
Finally, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward excitedly, his voice choked with emotion: "Captain Qi, do you know? There is an antique that is over 3,000 years old. It is a treasure that we in the antique research community have always dreamed of."
