Chapter 353 You are a special forces soldier, can you imitate antiques?
He nodded and said, "Qi Tongwei's idea is worth a try. However, the production of imitations must be kept strictly confidential, and the quality of the imitations must be ensured."
Qi Tongwei said firmly: "Longshi, don't worry. I will take personal responsibility for this matter and ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Just like that, under Qi Tongwei's suggestion, everyone seemed to see a glimmer of hope and began to prepare for the next plan.
When everyone heard Qi Tongwei say that he had a solution, they all pricked up their ears and their eyes were full of curiosity.
The water lion couldn't help but ask first: "Qi Tongwei, what on earth do you have? Can you even conjure up some antiques out of thin air?"
"This isn't magic. Those smuggling gangs are all old foxes with sharp eyes."
Qi Tongwei, however, looked confident, his eyes revealing a certainty of having a plan in mind. He said calmly, "I can indeed make antiques that are indistinguishable from the real thing, and I can get away with it by taking advantage of the situation."
As soon as he said this, the conference room fell silent.
Everyone looked at Qi Tongwei with strange eyes, which contained confusion, surprise, and more of disbelief.
Shan Shi thought to himself, "Making an antique that's indistinguishable from the real thing? That's no easy task. Is Qi Tongwei too confident?"
He looked at the people around him and found that everyone seemed to have the same idea as him.
Tushi frowned, then said with a forced smile, "Sparrow, this is no small matter. Those smuggling gangs have extensive experience in identifying antiques. It's not easy to deceive them."
Although he did not directly deny Qi Tongwei's words, the doubt in his words was obvious.
Mountain Lion murmured quietly nearby, "Indistinguishable from the real thing? How is that even possible? Even if the appearance can be made similar, how can the inherent qualities of an antique, such as its age and texture, be imitated?"
As the captain, Longshi did not express his doubts directly like the others, but he was also worried in his heart.
He looked at Qi Tongwei's confident expression and nodded slightly, saying, "Qi Tongwei, this is a very risky idea, but since you are so confident, let's hear your specific plan first."
Although no one said anything to sabotage the show on the surface, it was obvious from their expressions and attitudes that they did not have much expectation of Qi Tongwei's creation of antiques that were indistinguishable from the real thing.
Under such circumstances, they have already begun to make second-hand preparations behind the scenes.
They felt that they could not pin all their hopes on Qi Tongwei's seemingly unreliable plan, and they had to prepare for possible failures.
After learning that Qi Tongwei proposed a plan to create fake antiques that were indistinguishable from the real ones, the relevant departments did not completely feel at ease and pin their hopes on it.
So they held an emergency meeting overnight. The lights in the conference room were brightly lit and the atmosphere was serious and tense.
The leader, sitting at the head of the conference table, said solemnly, "Although Qi Tongwei has proposed a seemingly feasible plan, we cannot rely entirely on it. We must be prepared for various scenarios."
Everyone nodded and began to discuss seriously.
After a long discussion, they finally came up with two plans.
The first plan was to let Qi Tongwei take some antiques of low value to test the other party's attitude.
A senior cultural relic expert stood up and explained in detail: "We can select some antiques that are relatively low in value in the antique market but look attractive. Even if these antiques are lost, it will not cause too much damage to our cultural relic resources."
"Qi Tongwei brought these antiques to contact the smuggling group. If they don't show suspicion or dissatisfaction, then we might be able to follow the clues and get directly into their core trading process. This will both reduce the risk and create opportunities for us to obtain further intelligence."
After hearing this plan, everyone felt that it was reasonable.
The water lion nodded and said, "That's a good plan. Let's take some inexpensive things and explore the way first. Even if something goes wrong, we can afford it."
The expert then elaborated on the second option: "If the other party has objections to these less valuable antiques, it means they have high expectations for this transaction and are very demanding on the quality and value of the antiques. In this case, we can only offer some more valuable antiques as bait."
"However, this is undoubtedly a risky approach. Therefore, if this plan is adopted, a task of 'ensuring that the antiques are kept intact' should be added to the later missions."
"We must ensure that these precious cultural relics are not damaged in any way during the entire mission, which requires us to be foolproof in all aspects, including operational planning and personnel arrangements."
As soon as this plan was proposed, the atmosphere in the conference room became more solemn.
Jin Shi frowned and said, "This plan is too risky. Those smuggling gangs are greedy guys. Once they see a truly valuable antique, they will definitely do everything they can to take it for themselves. We have to protect the antiques intact, which is not easy."
Tushi also agreed, "Yes, and how can we guarantee that there will be no accidents while we are deep in the tiger's den? This is also a huge challenge for our team members."
Long Shi pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Although this plan is risky, if we want to completely dismantle this smuggling ring, we sometimes have to take risks. However, we must also perfect this plan as much as possible to minimize the risks."
After a heated discussion, everyone finally agreed on these two options.
Everyone was completely focused on the antiques. They were busy preparing the two plans, discussing, researching, and preparing materials. For a moment, no one seemed to pay attention to where Qi Tongwei had gone.
As for Qi Tongwei, he found a laboratory quietly and alone.
The laboratory is filled with various chemical reagents, tools and some materials for making models.
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath. He knew that he had to use his unique skills and rich knowledge of chemistry to create an antique replica that was real enough.
He first carefully studied the various information he had collected about the target antique, paying attention to every detail, from the texture and color of the appearance to the possible production process.
Qi Tongwei's eyes were focused and determined, and various characteristics of the antiques kept emerging in his mind.
