Chapter 512: Shocking Scam (I)

"I've never heard of this, and you like to show off so much, and you can hide it?" Yun Ximing said strangely.

"It's not something to brag about." Dazhe said.

"I thought the people you knew were geniuses, you said you were geniuses all day long, but I didn't expect to know such a fool, and I believe such a stupid thing as a perpetual motion machine." Min Lan said.

Dazhe sat on the ground and sighed constantly, "My senior is indeed a genius, he is the smartest person I have ever met, he used to be our idol, and he is also a popular figure in the school, but it is because he is too smart that he will harm others and himself in the end." Dazhe said.

"What did he do?" Uncle Lu also came to be interested.

"It's a long story." Dazhe said, "The cause of the incident was a videotape. ”

"This is a video that was widely circulated in society in the 80s, showing a deputy director of the Harbin Public Security Bureau leading his subordinates to watch a performance at Wang Hongcheng's home. The deputy director personally poured tap water into a large plastic bucket about eight minutes full in the kitchen of Wang Hongcheng's house, and then carried it back to the living room of Wang Hongcheng's house. Wang Hongcheng took an empty glass, poured out half a cup of water from a plastic bucket, handed it to him in his left hand, and let him taste it. Then Wang Hongcheng dropped a few drops of liquid medicine into the bucket, and after a while added another liquid medicine to the bucket, and the water in the bucket gradually turned light red. Then, Wang Hongcheng brought an open can from the shelf, noting that Wang Hongcheng had not poured the can to prove that it was empty, and Wang Hongcheng poured some water into the can from the bucket. Then he handed the can to the right hand of the deputy director, who used both hands. He was invited to the kitchen to test, and his subordinates followed him. And the plastic bucket was left in the living room and no one took care of it! Everyone watched Wang Hongcheng's performance together. Sure enough, the water in the glass was not lit, but the liquid in the can was lit, and everyone applauded and congratulated the success of the experiment. At this time, Wang Hongcheng's wife, Wang Qilin, sent a plastic bucket containing a light red liquid, and the deputy director took the bucket and walked downstairs to test driving a car, so the identification of China's fifth largest invention was completed! In the commentary of this tape, it is said that the lens of the video recorder never left the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. But the truth should be that the camera never leaves that bucket of water!. He also said: This great experiment was completed with the close cooperation of Wang Hongcheng's wife. It's still true! Because it was Wang Hongcheng's wife, Wang Qilin, who replaced the bucket of water with a bucket of oil, if we look closely, we will find that the volume of liquid in the front and back two buckets is different, and the can has long been filled with a little oil. Of course it can be ignited. However, it was such a video tape that made my top student really interested and began to study it. Dazhe said.

"Didn't he know it was a lie?" Yun Ximing asked.

"At first he knew, but after a while, he told me that he had researched the eyebrows. The main thing is that he doesn't want his parents' money to go down the drain. Dazhe said.

"His parents are also scientists?" Min Lan asked.

No, his parents were just ordinary farmers, and they also heard that the tapes were a top-secret recipe that could not be passed on, so they bought these tapes with all their money. And these videos are all from the 80s, and only the farmers in the remote mountains would believe it. The senior's parents used almost the family's savings to buy these tapes. Dazhe said.

"Wang Hongcheng? This name sounds familiar. Uncle Lu said.

"I know this person." Yun Ximing said that his grandfather told me about him before, and it was quite a sensation at the time. "He was born in the Northeast, only studied for four years and raised pigs. He studied carpentry and served as a soldier. Later, he was a driver for the Harbin Bus Company. The main deed is the invention of puffed heavy oil, which was officially developed and mass-produced in 1992. It has also invented multi-purpose energy savers, puffed heavy diesel oil, smoke and dust removal and sewage treatment technologies. These techniques were later proven to be unscientific. Yun Ximing said.

In March 1984, Wang Hongcheng, an ordinary driver in Harbin, announced the invention of water-to-oil, adding a quarter of gasoline to three-quarters of the water, and then adding a small amount of Hongcheng-based liquid or water-based fuel bulking agent, it can be turned into water-based fuel, which is instantaneous, and the calorific value is higher than that of ordinary gasoline and diesel, and there is no pollution and the cost is very low. This invention has been affirmed by many authoritative figures and has been hyped up by dozens of news media across the country. A military enterprise has set up a company specifically for this purpose, and more than 300 township and town enterprises have allocated hundreds of millions of yuan for him to carry out joint development, treating him as the god of wealth. Wang Hongcheng received hundreds of millions of dollars. At the beginning of 1993, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Materials issued a notice asking the relevant units to stop publicity; In April, Yan Guliang, a cadre of the former Ministry of Materials, published an article in the newspaper "The truth about the change of water to oil should be clarified with facts", questioning the change of water to oil. Some newspapers and periodicals have published articles pointing out that turning water into oil is a trick and a hoax. In June of that year, Wang Hongcheng filed a complaint with the People's Court of Xicheng District, Beijing, against Yan Guliang for infringing on his right to reputation, but the court dismissed the lawsuit on the grounds that his invention had never been scientifically appraised. At the Eighth Session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in 1995, four members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), including He Zuoxiu and Guo Zhengyi, jointly submitted a motion calling for an investigation into the investment in turning water into oil and the consequences of its damage to economic construction. On January 1, 1996, Wang Hongcheng was taken into custody for review; On November 14, 1997, he was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment by the Harbin Intermediate Court. And this farce has caused hundreds of millions of dollars in losses to the people at this time. Sister Wang Na said.

"That's right, it's that Wang Hongcheng." Dazhe said.

"But it's been so long, how can anyone still believe in his ways." Min Lan asked.

"The more genius you are, the more you want to do things that others can't." Dazhe said, "I have also seen the videotape, and the shooting is very unclear, and the technique is clumsy, but my senior just believes it." ”

"How many plates are there? What kind of videotape? Yun Xian asked.

"Several plates." Dazhe said, "The relevant departments watched Wang Hongcheng do a 100-ton water-to-oil performance, and took samples with beer bottles on the spot, and Wang Hongcheng secretly used beer bottles filled with oil to transfer bags. Wang Hongcheng's method of forgery is exactly the same as that of the Japanese inventor who deceived Yamamoto 56 when he was engaged in a water-to-oil experiment. There is a video tape that is a television documentary called "Pangu Opens the Sky and Shocks the World - China's Wang Hongcheng" boasting: As early as a few years ago, a certain county in Hebei. In full view, Wang Hongcheng played one of the biggest, most amazing and shocking science games in human history. In a cement pool that can hold 11 tons of water, authoritative experts from the relevant state departments personally pour water into the pool of water into the fuel of Hongcheng, stir it, put it into a basin, and then bring a basin to the square. Once the Hongcheng fuel is ignited, the flame rises, and the myth of turning water into oil becomes a reality in an instant. ”

In fact, the real situation of this performance, which Wang Hongcheng has planned for a long time, is like this: this large cement floor is framed by several coarse cement piers, which are relatively high, and people can only scoop the liquid on the surface when they use pots to go to the pool. When the water was added to the pool, Wang Hongcheng added his liquid medicine and stirred it and covered the pool, not allowing anyone to look at it, saying that it was dangerous. But some people still lifted it to look at it, and saw that there was oil bubbling up from the bottom of the pool, and it turned out that there was an oil pool underground to send oil to the pool through the dark valve in the center of the cement pier, which was the secret. When people put out the oil floating on the water, Wang Hongcheng was afraid that if it continued to be filled with water, it would expose the bottom, so he poured some lye into the pool, saying that the oil had turned into water again. Adding lye can turn oil into water, which can be said to be another great invention of Wang Hongcheng! But I don't know what kind of chemistry this is. The oil that comes out is oil in the first place, and of course it catches fire at the slightest point, but the water in the pool is still water, and it does not turn into oil. When someone asked to inspect the cement pool, the king was furious and drove everyone away, and smashed the cement pool himself so that no one would discover the secret of the bottom of the pool. This is the so-called biggest, most amazing and most shocking science game in human history that Wang Hongcheng played! Dazhe said.

"But anyway, it's too weird, isn't it obvious to a discerning person?" Min Lan said.

"At the beginning, my seniors also felt the same way, thinking that their parents were just deceived, but the family was not far away from accepting this reality, repeatedly emphasizing that it was true, and the seniors must study it. The pressure on the senior increased, and finally reached a point where he went so mad that no one could stop him at all. Dazhe said, "At that time, we consulted a lot of information, and I felt more and more that it was a scam, or that I had already believed in it, but after a long time, I didn't believe it." ”

"Did you really do the experiment?" Yun Ximing said.

"We are in the research institute of the army, and naturally there is everything in the laboratory." Dazhe said.

"How can that kind of tape be so convincing?" Uncle Lu said.

"Because the feeling of real shooting can make people believe in their senses and their first instincts." Dazhe said, "There were a lot of experts, leaders, and even the central leaders at that time, so it was really easy for people to believe it at that time." ”

"At that time, I am afraid you were still young, especially in the nineties, he was a well-known figure in the country. At that time, in the army, in the factories and mines, many people were waving the banner of learning from Wang Hongcheng, which was really a sensation. Uncle Lu said.

"There are still many people who think of him as a great scientist, such as my senior." Dazhe said. (To be continued.) )
