"Michael, is it that exaggerated?" Xiao Peng sighed as he looked at the seaplane parked at the dock.

Bloomberg laughed, "After all, testing a painting requires a large amount of tools. Since you aren't willing to bring the painting to me, I have no choice but to bring the tools over."

"But isn't your seaplane a bit too exaggerated?" Xiao Peng sighed, "Why do I feel like a pauper when compared to you?"

"First of all, compared to me, you are indeed very poor. Second of all, I rented this plane. If you use your Express Black Gold Card correctly, you can also rent it."

Xiao Peng was speechless, "Hey, Michael, is it really okay to hit me like this? Be careful that I don't chase you away. "

Blumberg laughed. "All right, I'll have all the tools brought down."

"Wait a moment, I want to take a look at this big guy." Xiao Peng looked at the seaplane in front of him.

However, Bloomberg said, "Don't even think about it, one of the conditions to rent this plane is to ban Chinese people from boarding the plane and prevent secrets from being leaked out. You're on an island and you don't have an airport, so you can only rent a seaplane and pick and choose between them. That's the most appropriate thing to do. "

Hearing Bloomberg's words, Xiao Peng immediately cursed, "These damn pirates, if I'm pissed off, I'll definitely get one of them back!"

"Alright Xiao, don't be so childish. I'll have them unload the items onto the dock. Find some people to help me move them. It's snowing heavily, so you have to be careful." Bloomberg said.

"Alright, I got it. Who the hell cares about their crappy plane!" "Son of a bitch, find a few people to move in. Pay attention to your safety!" Although he said that, Xiao Peng's eyes were still staring at the seaplane in front of him, not even moving his eyeballs.

This is the island's us-2 seaplane! In the world market, this was the only weapon that could be sold in China! They can't even build a star-state.

Of course, the reason the nation couldn't make one was that it had abandoned the development of military-grade seaplanes decades ago.

For a long time, the US-2 seaplane was the world's largest modern seaplane, until China's new seaplane, the Flood Dragon 600, was developed.

Before the birth of the Flood Dragon 600, us-2 was a sight to behold. Because it didn't depend on airports, suited for sea patrols and rescue missions, and didn't have any competitors, the price was a mess. It sold for more than $100 million, and it sold for tens of millions of dollars. Unfortunately, ever since the birth of the Flood Dragon 600, its good days had come to an end. However, this still couldn't stop the unlucky citizens from sealing off the technology of China!

And it was the infamous' Paris Coordinating Committee 'that had created this situation.

A month after the founding of New China, at the initiative of the Star rank countries, 17 countries led by the Star rank countries, including the countries of China, China, Britain and France, established the 'Paris Coordinating Committee'. The aim of the Committee was to restrict the export of military-related materials and high and new technologies to all the countries of China.

And these 17 countries, were the strictest against China. In 1952, they set up the 'China Committee', which specialized in implementing the so-called 'China Trade Control', banning the export of all strategic goods, including arms, steel, and vehicles to China! The total number of items on the ban list was over five hundred more than those of the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries combined!

However, even under such a severe blockade, China did not compromise and was fully focused on its work. Not only had it achieved impressive achievements in the defense industry, but it had also made one breakthrough after another in technology! It left the starring countries of the Paris Coordinating Committee helpless.

Until today, China had become the world's largest industrial nation, able to produce almost all of the world's industrial products, ranging from aircraft carrier rockets to pencil slippers. Even so, the west had not given up on sealing off China's high technology. Even though the truth of the matter was that in some scientific research projects, China had already reached the top of the world!

Of course, this was all thanks to the 17 countries that had once strictly guarded China, and it was they who had forced China to independently carry out its own research and development. This also confirms what the great man once said: "Block it! After being sealed for dozens of years, we have everything! "

Eh? This idea seemed pretty good! It was worth considering.

Blumberg didn't know what Xiao Peng was thinking, but he was directing people to move the instruments into Xiao Peng's room. Two white-haired old men were fiddling with the machines.

"This is Miller, this is Tommy. These two are the chief oil appraisers at the National Museum of Art." Blumberg introduced.

"Hello everyone. It makes me nervous to see you prepare so many instruments. " Xiao Peng greeted the two of them.

"Mr Xiao, believe me, I'm more nervous than you! If this painting was real, it would have caused a sensation throughout the world! " "It's clear that Miller is more talkative than Tang Bi as he told Xiao Peng." Mr. Xiao, we can't wait to start working. "

"Well, I won't disturb your work. "Do as you please." Xiao Peng said.

The two old men took the instruments and began to test them nervously.

"What is this?" Xiao Peng pointed at the apparatus in the two old men's hands as he asked.

Miller explained, "This is called the 'Zoyd' scanner. It's used to detect magnetic pigments."

Tommy, who was operating the computer, said, "I don't feel the cesium!"

Hearing Tommy's words, Miller clenched his fists. "Yeah!"

Xiao Peng did not understand. "Mister Miller, what does that mean?"

Miller said, "In the 1940s and 1950s, the nuclear explosion released two special isotopes, namely, cesium. It had already permeated the soil and flora of the entire planet, and it also existed in all the oil paintings that were created after the war. Because before the nuclear explosion, these two isotopes never appeared in nature, so if you find these two isotopes in oil paint, there is only one explanation, and that is that this painting is a counterfeit created after 1945."

"What next?" Xiao Peng asked.

Miller replied, "Next, we use the carbon 14 dating method to determine the age of this painting."

"Carbon 14 dating method?" "What the hell is that?" Xiao Peng asked.

"Carbon 14 dating is a measure of the age of objects invented by Willadleby, a professor at the University of Chicago who won the Nobel Prize in chemistry," he explained.

"That powerful?" "How is it?" Xiao Peng asked. I know about carbon, but what the hell is carbon 14? "

Miller nodded. "There are three isotopes of carbon, the stable isotopes, carbon 12 and carbon 13, and the radioactive isotope, carbon 14. Since the decay of carbon 14 takes thousands of years, one can calculate the approximate age of the object based on the degree of decay of that carbon 14. The most advanced carbon 14 testing technology can achieve the error of ten years. Our machines aren't that advanced, but they can make a difference in twenty years. "

Xiao Peng scratched his head, not knowing how to reply. He secretly poked Bloomberg: "Hey, Michael, can you understand?"

Blumberg retorted, "What? You don't understand? "

Xiao Peng said embarrassedly, "If we separate them, I can understand every word. If we link them together, I really won't be able to understand it."

Blumberg covered his face. "God, what the hell do you think? To actually place such fine arts in the hands of a person who doesn't understand art? "

Xiao Peng said seriously, "It's not that I don't understand art, it's just that I don't know Western Arts."

Blumberg sighed. "Miller meant that as long as this painting was tested in the fourteenth century, it would definitely be a genuine painting!"

Xiao Peng whistled, "Wow, I like this result. God is still kind to me, isn't he? "

Blumberg said: "The exact carbon 14 test takes about 20 hours. Let's wait for the results. Right, I didn't attend your birthday party, so I'll give you a birthday present now. "

"Michael, why are you being so polite? You being able to come here is my greatest honor. " Xiao Peng said.

Blumberg laughed: "Xiao, you are such a strange person. Normally you are so polite when you speak, but your temper is so explosive. You are really two extremes."

Xiao Peng smiled, "I'm not too good to friends, but you respect me for my style. I respect you for ten feet, I treat you better, I treat you better, and if you treat me badly, I will make them regret doing me wrong."

"You." Blumberg smiled and patted Xiao Peng on the shoulder. He made a gesture to his entourage, and an entourage walked over with a large box. From the looks of it, this box was quite old.

Blumberg handed the box to Xiao Peng: "Don't you like Chinese cultural relics? Do you like this? "

Xiao Peng didn't hold back and directly opened the box. As he looked at the items within the box, he was stunned as well.
