The admiration for magnificent artifacts is deeply embedded in everyone's genes, and thus gave birth to the idea that "more is good, bigger is beautiful, and caliber is justice!" The multi-turret aesthetic.

The FAST project's 4,450 reflective surface units, with a total area equivalent to 30 football fields, are typical of the number and size of the project, and it is natural that it is easy to arouse human reverence for magnificent creations.

In particular, the bee also came to a "caliber comparison", which is even more refreshing to poke the audience in China, and it will naturally be enthusiastic to watch.

At the end, the image suddenly rises to the level of clouds, and then quickly moves southwest, sweeping over well-known radio microscopes in India, Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom, and other countries. The camera then pans to South Africa, over the SKA array under construction, and finally on the Arecibo telescope in the jungle of Central America.

Interestingly, except for FAST and Arecibo, who were shot live-action, the other old-timers who were brought in to appear in friendship were all CGI images. Fortunately, the giant eyes of the sky have a huge size and high reputation, you can find a large number of satellites and real-life photos, and the onlookers are relatively regular, and the modeling is not difficult.

Founded in 1960 as a large radar used by the Americans to detect Soviet intercontinental missiles, Arecibo was later transformed into the world's largest radio telescope. However, its radar function was not abolished, but was carried forward, and radar astronomy was born. For the public, the most famous deed of this pot was in 1974 when it sent the "Arecibo message" (a pixel pattern of 1,679 binary numbers), which is known as the calling card of the earth, aiming for the M13 star cluster in the constellation Hercules, 25,000 light-years away. The latter was chosen because it has the highest stellar density in the whole day, and the entire cluster is made up of hundreds of thousands of stars, which may increase the probability that the signal will be picked up by intelligent life.

In the 70s, NASA was particularly keen to send Earth signals to the universe, and three years later, the Voyager 1 deep space probe sent to space placed a special gold disk, which also engraved brief information about the Earth. Later, the gold plate was obtained by the aliens of Cybertron, and then they came to Earth on the Ark and Retribution, and then performed the story of "Transformers (Animated Version)".

Of course, this plot is just a tribute to the space fever of the 70s by the Transformers screenwriters, in fact, Voyager 1 did not fly out of the solar system until 2012, and the "Arecibo Message" only flew 32 light years, and the Berlin Olympics Opening Ceremony Speech signal only flew 80 light years before it.

However, this does not affect the screenwriters to open their minds and put these facts into the movie. The American movie "Contact" released in 97 fictionalized a fictional story in which aliens received Hitler's speech, embedded the drawings of the chrono equipment manufacturing in it, sent them to the earth, and were received by the heroine working in Arecibo, and finally succeeded in manufacturing the equipment and realizing the science fiction story of "contact".

In addition, the Arecibo telescope, which was installed in the crater and looked large and impressive, has also been featured in other movies and games, and has gained more international fame. The bee uses it as an end, which can be interpreted as a tribute to the meritorious old-timers, or it can be understood as a demonstration, of course, its video data is the most detailed and can be used immediately, which should also be an important reason.

According to VR news practitioner Yuan Yang, the bees are doing this more to show off their technology, with the help of the headline-making FAST to show off their VR photography technology and CGI technology, which can be seen from the fact that they launched multiple versions of videos from 2K to 10K specifically for "Giant Eyes in the Sky".

The best effect in this is naturally the 10bit10K version,It can bring the top viewing experience,Yuan Yang immediately decided to let it replace the predecessors after watching it for the first time,Specially used to detect the VR headset sent by various manufacturers。 However, the shortcomings of this version are obvious, it consumes too much storage space, and just three minutes of video takes up a quarter of the hard drive space on his work computer.

Bee is clearly aware of this problem and has adopted field-of-view segmentation adaptive technology to improve the distribution of VR streams, greatly reducing the bandwidth requirements of VR video streams. Unfortunately, CDN content delivery networks do not yet support this complex mechanism, and monster-level 10K streaming media can only be used in offline environments such as Bee Stadium for the time being.

"I have to mention it to the boss when I go back, I want to add a hard drive," and finally glanced at the Arecibo telescope in the freeze-frame screen, Yuan Yang lifted the headset, pulled out the keyboard and began to fill in the experience report. Then he felt a tap on his right shoulder.

Turning his head to look to the left, he saw Wang Shan's big face appear in front of him, and asked with raised eyebrows: "I'm writing your viewing experience report again." Alas, I really envy you, you can go to work and watch movies openly. ”

", I want to go to work and watch a movie to find Xiaobai!"

"Oh, then I'm leaving," Wang Shan said with a smile, and at the same time raised his hands to let the other party see what he was holding in his arms.

After a hurried glance, Yuan Yang found that it was a brown cardboard box, about the size of two stacked shoeboxes, with tape and printed documents on it, which looked like a courier box.

Thinking of the express carton, he suddenly understood the other party's intention, said casually "Oh, thanks", and reached out to pick up the carton.

Since the occurrence of the collection of express mail results in the damage of the item, the front desk receptionists will hide the company's receipt and delivery seal, when the courier comes to the door, they do not collect, will only send a message to the corresponding staff to remind to sign. This is a pain for Yuan Yang and others, as editors in charge of hardware, they can often receive packages from various companies, sending testing machines or invitations, etc., which adds a lot of exercise. These people did not have the habit of fighting for steps in the circle of friends, and soon formed the habit of signing each other on behalf of each other, so as to save everyone's time and physical strength.

After laughing for a while, Wang Shan still handed him the box, and said at the same time: "I also have an exact one, which looks like an invitation sent by a bee." ”

Glancing at the familiar address and name on the courier list, Yuan Yang reached out and took the utility knife and swiped it towards the tape, while casually asking, "You didn't take it apart and take a look?"

"I'll keep it for the unboxing video," Wang said, leaning against the station baffle.

"Lao Wang, you can really calculate!" casually clicked a like, Yuan Yang reached out to open the carton and found that it was a small two-size white carton, with a layer of cushioned inflatable bag between the two, and the carton inside was also wrapped with bubble wrap, forming a shockproof double insurance.

"Oops, it's really tight. ”

Lao Wang poked his head through the station baffle, "Yes, the packaging is much more careful than before." ”

Picking up the cardboard box and looking at it repeatedly, Yuan Yang only found the Chinese and English words "Let's find it together, the bees give it", and there was no other information.

Seeing that he was still in a daze at the dark lines of the earth on the box, Wang Shan urged: "Don't look for it, just open it and see!"

"That's right," Yuan Yang waved his knife to cut through the seal sticker printed with the bee logo, removed the lid, and saw that inside was a glass box embedded in a high-density sponge.

Packed in a glass box, it is a model of a finely made sail wooden ship, which is different from ordinary ship models, and there are equally fine crew members on this ship, and the captain and sailors are dressed in Western-style ancient costumes, and their movements and expressions are different, which looks vivid.

Carefully taking out the glass box and placing it aside, Yuan Yang's mouth let out a sigh of admiration: "It turned out to be this thing, no wonder it was wrapped so tightly." ”

Wang Shan paid more attention to its value, "It's so exquisite, it has to be at least hundreds, and the bees are also bloody this time." ”

"It's just a little weird," Yuan Yang commented.

In recent years, manufacturers have spent more and more time on invitations, and the content has become more and more bizarre, at first it was just soap, steel plates, feature machines, and later MP3s, steel helmets and even small safes, bees were obviously infected by this atmosphere, and they also went further and further on the crooked path.

"Normal, didn't they send you resin crafts before, it's very reasonable to upgrade it and replace it with glass," Wang Shan said, "But this ship is not very good-looking, too short and fat to have no momentum, why don't they come to a sail battleship?"

Wang Shan pointed to the black-clothed man holding the binoculars at the stern of the boat, and said suspiciously: "Eh, this captain looks a little familiar." ”

"You're wrong, he's not the captain but the captain of the fleet," Yuan Yang held in his hand a few pieces of hard paper, which he had found from under the box, with a detailed description of the ship.

He whispered: "On August 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus, carrying a letter from the Queen of Spain to the Emperor of the East, led an expedition of Santa Maria, Pinta, and Nina from the Spanish port of Barros and set sail westward, hoping to open a new route to Asia. Although he did not reach Asia and India, he discovered the New World, thus opening a new chapter in human history. ”

Reading this, Yuan Yang raised his head, pointed to the glass box and said: "So this ship is the Santa Maria three-masted galleon, the one with the telescope is Columbus, and the one at the helm next to him is Captain de la Cosa." ”

"It turned out to be Columbus, I said how can it look familiar," Wang Shan sighed, this great navigator who discovered the "New World" is a great man who has gone down in history, and it is not surprising that he can see their portraits everywhere like Magellan and Napoleon.

In fact, as the flagship of the Columbus expedition fleet, the Santa Maria, which was later sunk in the waters of Haiti in the Central American country, also became a world-famous ship because of the importance of the ship. It's a pity that Wang Shan and Yuan Yang are not fans of sailboats or ship models, otherwise they should recognize this boat as soon as possible.

"Question: What does this have to do with the new product? What did they mean by sending such a model ship?"

The soap indicates that the operation is smooth, the steel plate suggests that the process is complicated, and the safe has a strong safety element, but he really can't figure out what the bee is trying to show by sending this model ship, it can't be another nautical game, right?

"The answer is here," said Yuan Yang, who pointed to the phrase "let's discover together" on the white cardboard box, "It seems that Bee has a breakthrough product to be released, so this significant expedition ship was sent." ”

Ignoring the supporting roles of Pinta and Nina, the Santa Maria is arguably the first ship to sail to the New World, and the significance is enormous. Using it as an invitation, the ambition and tone of the bee are obviously not small.

"What the hell is a new product?"

"It didn't say above," handing the card in his hand to the other party, Yuan Yang said, "But the visual inspection should be a mobile phone." ”

"Why not a VR or brainwave headset?" Wang Shan retorted, "The brainwave head ring is equipped with a somatosensory hand ring and ankle ring, and you can almost form a beggar version of the brainwave game device." ”

"It's still early, the golden hoop of the Monkey King is completely used to fool foreigners, anyway, they like to control this tone, even if they don't have it, the game can still be played well. ”

"You haven't said why the new product is a mobile phone?"

"You look at the second card, the one with the QR code, and then you understand. ”

With a simple explanation, Yuan Yang reached out and picked up his mobile phone, opened the QR code scanning software, and aimed at the card in Wang Shan's hand, and then soon he exclaimed: "Hold the grass, why do you want so many permissions?" I wonder if I have fallen into a fishing trap. ”

"What?" Wang Shan hurriedly asked.

Yuan Yang handed over the phone, "Look at it yourself." ”

The bees didn't just give away a boat on the invitation this time, they also made an innovation in the confirmation process, requiring guests who decided to scan the QR code to download their "Door to the Future" app and use it to sign in every day, and finally officially qualified to participate in the "Discover the Future Conference" to be held next month.

Wang Shan took the phone and looked at it, the screen is the installation interface of this application, which shows a bunch of permission acquisition requirements: allow to obtain location, allow access to the network, allow to record input content, allow to call the camera and microphone, allow to read the address book and text message content, etc., all of which are advanced permissions involving privacy. If an app obtains these permissions, its controller can easily control the user's privacy, which can cause a lot of damage and damage if someone has bad intentions, such as using it to commit telecom fraud.

"Hehe, it could really be a phishing scam. But it's very unlikely, after all, the price is a bit big," he said, looking at the model ship in the glass box.

"Maybe. I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf, and there are also fraudsters who give free phone bills?" Yuan Yang said with a smile, although he also knew that this possibility was actually very small.

It's very simple to confirm, just send a private message to Atletico Madrid, if someone steals his number, why not?
