Chapter 817 Wang Tong's Amazing Journey (Part 2)

"Do you want to flip through this book with your own hands and see what's inside?"

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Wang Tong, who was unprepared in advance, couldn't help but be slightly startled.

But soon.

Wang Tong's pupils suddenly shrank when he came back to his senses, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Qizhen beside him:

"Mr. Zhu, what did you say? Can I read the "Yongle Dadian"?"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, smiled lightly and spread his hands towards Wang Tong:

"Of course, Mr. Wang, after all, this is a cultural relics exhibition with a high-tech theme."

"A digital person like me can appear in front of you. Reading the "Yongle Dadian" doesn't seem to be a particularly bizarre thing, right?"

Wang Tong was stunned again when he heard this.

It seems reasonable?

As Zhu Qizhen said, even a digital person like him can be reproduced and appear in a head-mounted display device, so it is not technically difficult to allow tourists to 'touch' the "Yongle Dian" through technology.

It's just that Wang Tong didn't think of this level until Zhu Qizhen pointed out the reason - after all, most exhibitions do not allow tourists to touch cultural relics, and many exhibition halls even do not allow tourists to touch the glass of the display cabinets.

Especially now that the quality of the nation is gradually improving, many tourists will take the initiative to keep a certain distance from the exhibits even if they do not need to be reminded by the museum.

This kind of behavior cannot be described as a derogatory term like stereotype, but there is nothing wrong with classifying it into a subconscious category.

"."

Then Wang Tong and Zhang Ying looked at each other, then turned to look at Zhu Qizhen:

"Mr. Zhu, how can I get the "Yongle Dian"? Is it also a matter of clicking the virtual button?"

After saying that, Wang Tong scanned around the display cabinet, trying to find the flashing prompt button.

When he thought about it, the method of obtaining "Yongle Dian" should be the same as changing the tour guide image before, that is, clicking on a virtual button around the showcase, and then "Yongle Dian" suddenly appeared in his hand.

But what surprised Wang Tong was that Zhu Qizhen shook his head this time.

Then Ming Yingzong pointed at the glass of the showcase in front of Wang Tong and said:

"Mr. Wang, "Yongle Dadian" does not have a virtual key. You only need to open the showcase glass to take it out."

Wang Tong and Zhang Ying:

"????"

Wang Tong suddenly felt that he had transformed into the Holy Body of Innate Ignorance today, either raising question marks or on the way to raising question marks.

Open the glass showcase?

What the hell is this?

You know, Zhu Qizhen specifically emphasized during the introduction that what is stored in the showcase is the original version of "Yongle Dadian", not a replica or a copy.

Not to mention that the book in front of Wang Tong is the first volume of the more than 10,000 volumes of "Yongle Dadian", which is more special in meaning than some other volumes.

Not to mention that this kind of treasure, which can be called a national level treasure, is not easy to get hold of, just allowing the display cabinet to be opened is very outrageous.

However, Zhu Qizhen on the side did not explain too much, but pretended to be a quiet and handsome man with an incomprehensible smile.

"."

After a few seconds, Zhang Ying gently poked Wang Tong with her elbow:

"Wang Tong, since everyone has said this, let's give it a try?"

Upon seeing this, Wang Tong pondered for a moment and then nodded:

"good."

Then Wang Tong came to the showcase, held the edge of the showcase glass with both hands and rubbed it a few times, feeling a cold touch on his fingertips.

Wang Tong's understanding of the glass industry is relatively limited, but he can clearly feel that the glass of the showcase is more "transparent" and the temperature is lower than ordinary glass.

It's late spring and early summer now, and this cold feedback feels very comfortable.

Then Wang Tong quickly found two small handles for lifting on both sides, and lifted it up with a little force with both hands.

Click——

The glass cabinet opened upwards in response, and stopped automatically when it reached an angle of about 30° with the horizontal plane.

The only barrier between Wang Tong and "Yongle Dadian" disappeared.

Wang Tong turned his head and looked at Zhu Qizhen again. Under Zhu Qizhen's encouraging gaze, he slowly stretched out his hand and reached for the first volume of "Yongle Dadian" in front of him.

A second later, Wang Tong's pupils suddenly shrank.

In the headset, his left index finger happened to touch the middle of the cover of the first volume of "Yongle Dadian". In reality, his fingers also felt the unique rough touch of ancient books!

In other words.

At this time, his fingers came into contact with something real!

Wang Tong's little heart suddenly jumped, and in a short period of time, countless thoughts passed through his mind.

There was surprise, excitement, joy, and even a little worry - what if you meet some crazy person and take this opportunity to tear up the "Yongle Dadian"?

However, these thoughts only passed by in a flash. Wang Tong quickly brought his mind back to reality and held up the "Yongle Dian" with great solemnity.

The size of 30X23 requires Wang Tong to hold it with his palm in order to hold it safely. After placing it in front of him, the condition of the book becomes clearer:

The four characters of "Yongle Dadian" in the upper left corner are written in a dignified and elegant style. Among them, the one under "乐" is a little faded, and there is a small white break in the middle of "Dian".

The paper used for the pages of the book is not the rice paper that Wang Tong is familiar with, but a finer white tissue paper. There are also samples of this kind of handmade paper in the small collection of Yau Shing Tong Mathematics Center, so Wang Tong can judge its material by touching it.

Then Wang Tong gently opened the cover of the book, and the next second, a paragraph of text appeared in front of him:

【In the past, the sage kings governed the world by exploring ways to achieve things and affairs, by tailoring the best ways to assist the ministers, by cultivating rituals and music, and enlightening education, and by elucidating principles and promoting humanities. Fuxi began to draw Bagua to communicate the virtues of the gods and imitate the emotions of all things. The Shen Nong family benefited from farming and taught the world. The Yellow Emperor, Yao and Shun made changes, so that the people would not be tired of the gods and transform them, so that the people would wear their clothes and the world would be governed.]

[After counting the saints, and the production is ready, he praises the Preface to the Book of Changes, compiles the "Spring and Autumn Annals", gathers the great achievements of the saints, talks about deeds, and has a virtuous author. The decline of the Zhou Dynasty is close to the Warring States. But people have different opinions, the traces of the king have been extinguished, and up to the Qin Dynasty, there has been the disaster of burnt ban, but this way has been eliminated.】

[I inherit Hongji, and think about it. Only when there is great confusion, there must be a unified production. Therefore, the politics of Qi are the same as the customs. I preface the biographies of a hundred kings, summarize the canons of past dynasties, and worship Mian from afar. Compendium Fan Huo, always aware of the difficulty, ordered the Minister of Literature to compile the four treasuries of books and purchase relics from all over the world. From the beginning of ancient times to the present day, he searched widely, gathered groups, and wrote classics. .]

[It is comprehensive from beginning to end, including the vastness of the universe, and integrating the similarities and differences between ancient and modern times. It is clear and clear in detail. The rest of the words of the Xing family can also be included in it. The net is completely covered for storage and examination, so that the observer can understand it. The characters are based on the rhyme, and the characters are used to examine things. They flow from their own origin, like shooting a swan. The book is opened and nothing is hidden. It started in the autumn of the first year and was completed in the winter of the fifth year, totaling 22,900 One hundred and thirty-seven volumes, named "Yongle Dadian"]

A few minutes later.

Wang Tong closed the book with emotion on his face, exhaled a long breath, and looked at Zhu Qizhen aside:

"Mr. Zhu, how on earth is this done?"

As an extremely pure science student, Wang Tong's literary skills are just that, to be honest, and the contents of this "Yongle Dadian" can only be roughly understood.

Therefore, what really made him feel magical was the process of his contact with "Yongle Dadian".

He still doesn't understand what happened during that period. What happened to the book in his hand?

He saw with his own eyes the Yongle Dadian he took out from the showcase. The showcase was completely empty at this time, but logically he did not believe that what he was holding was the original "Yongle Dadian".

Therefore, some manipulations must have been done in the whole process, but Wang Tong could not find the corresponding link.

This kind of entanglement is really too much torture for a math practitioner like him.

Upon hearing Wang Tong's question, Zhu Qizhen first tapped the palm of his left hand with his right index finger, and then pointed to his eyes:

"Mr. Wang, the answer to this question is simple. Your eyes and your body deceived you together."

Wang Tong was suddenly startled:

"?"

Upon seeing this, Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said to Wang Tong:

"Mr. Wang, with the authorization from the switchboard, the backend will temporarily cancel the modeling of showcase No. 1 in your headset."

“That way you can see what’s really going on.”

"Of course, the digital human tour guide will still not disappear, and you and I can still communicate normally."

Say it.

Zhu Qizhen snapped his fingers, and the picture in front of Wang Tong suddenly changed slightly - his field of vision became a little brighter.

Wang Tong subconsciously looked at the "Yongle Dadian" in his hand, and then he was stunned again:

The size of the "Yongle Dadian" he held in his hand remained unchanged, but all the words on the book disappeared.

For some reason, Wang Tong was reminded of the scene in Journey to the West where the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk retrieved the scriptures and embarked on their way home, discovering that the scriptures were all unwritten scriptures.

In fact, what surprised Wang Tong was far more than this. He also noticed that there was another "Yongle Dadian" stored in the display cabinet in front of him!

This "Yongle Dian" looks exactly like the book in Wang Tong's hand, but it is stored lower than what Wang Tong can see with his head-mounted display, and there is a layer of glass inside the display case.

In other words.

In addition to the top layer of glass, this showcase also has a second layer of glass baffles inside to block the real "Yongle Dian".

Seeing a hint of understanding on Wang Tong's face, Zhu Qizhen on the side also spoke:

"Miss Zhang, it's your turn to pick up the first volume of "Yongle Dadian" next."

As soon as Zhu Qizhen finished speaking, a slender opening suddenly opened on the left side of the glass display cabinet.

I saw a chassis holding a "Yongle Dadian" quickly protruding from it, and placing the "Yongle Dadian" on the glass baffle on the second floor.

When Zhang Ying saw this, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"Hey, why is there another copy of "Yongle Dadian" in the display cabinet?"

Then

Wang Tong saw his girlfriend humming as she stepped forward to pick up the "Yongle Dadian" and flipped through the wordless book with great interest.

Wang Tong:

"."

Then Zhu Qizhen snapped his fingers again, and the scene in front of Wang Tong returned to the original picture - the "Yongle Dadian" in the display case disappeared, and the second glass barrier was also missing. Zhang Ying and The "Yongle Dadian" in Wang Tong's hand is full of words again

Seeing that Wang Tongruo had some realization, Zhu Qizhen also smiled at him:

"Mr. Wang, do you understand now?"

Wang Tong nodded slightly.

Zhu Qizhen did not lie at first, and the original version of "Yongle Dadian" stored in the display cabinet was indeed the same.

At the same time, Wang Tong’s previous judgment was not wrong. The Yongle Encyclopedia he got was also not authentic.

It’s just that Wang Tong’s eyes and body deceived him.

Now that he saw the whole process with his own eyes, Wang Tong naturally understood the National Museum’s method:

The entire display cabinet was originally designed with two layers of glass, of which the first layer was the cabinet glass, and the second layer was the internal protective facility. The real first volume of the Yongle Encyclopedia was placed on the exhibition stand below the second layer.

At the same time, the display cabinet was designed with some optical designs at the beginning, and with the modeling of the MR headset, it gave visitors an illusion when they were visiting the exhibition - there was no second layer of glass in the display cabinet, and the area where the first volume of the Yongle Encyclopedia was stored was higher than the actual position, that is, the position of the second layer of glass.

In this case.

When the visitor reached out to open the display cabinet, the sensing device on the glass and the sampling radar of the headset made auxiliary judgments at both ends. Before the visitor put his hand into the display cabinet, a mechanical tray was used to pop out the wordless copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia from the closed area on the other side.

Since the full-face helmet has its own soundproofing effect, the sound of the mechanical tray when it is closed and in is completely blocked outside the equipment, and even the image of the mechanical tray is erased.

When the visitors read the content, the content is displayed through the head display, which can simulate the illusion that you picked up the "Yongle Encyclopedia" with your own hands.

No wonder Zhu Qizhen said "Your eyes and your body deceived you together". The whole process was completely a cat-for-prince replacement in front of Wang Tong and others.

Then Wang Tong was silent for a while and said to Zhu Qizhen:

"Mr. Zhu, I have a question that I don't understand."

Zhu Qizhen made a gesture of invitation to him:

"You go ahead."

Wang Tong raised the "Yongle Encyclopedia" in his hand and asked:

"Why does the National Museum spend so much effort on a trick? Wouldn't it be simpler to just copy a replica?"
