Chapter 42: The Summons (I)

After Lou Qingxi admitted defeat, everyone was surprised to find that Ye Tao didn't come out to say anything. Later, Lu Dan came out a little embarrassed to explain to everyone that after the short film, Ye Tao fell asleep in the sweltering cabin. He was so tired.

Ye Tao slept for two days.

In the past two days, the Yizhan shop first opened for business, and the various forms of suits and peripheral supplies that were sold well in Yicheng also appeared in Danyang. The difference is that this Yizhan shop is larger and more professional in form. If the Yizhan shop in Yicheng has tried to put the modern concept of a store integrating display and sales into a small space, then this Yizhan shop in Danyang is simply a modern store. In addition to the elements of the modern store, the elements of store decoration and lighting have not been realized due to technical reasons, other elements such as a unified visual image, categorical counters and furnishings, professional store sales staff, process-based product introduction solutions and even rich after-sales service content are readily available. Yizhan Shop has even begun to issue membership cards for the national chain of metal Yizhan Building......

Less than an hour after Yizhan Xiaopu opened for business, another specialty store with a close relationship with Ye Tao opened on Zhuque Street, the most prosperous street in Danyang. That's the Tissot watch shop. Although Tissot is not Ye Tao's favorite brand, in the current situation that only Chinese can be used, names such as Rolex Citizen Longines Omega are too strange to use. In contrast, the word Tissot is not only a romantic portrayal of the passage of time, but also a pun on the ingenuity of the manufacturer in mechanical engineering. I'm afraid I won't be able to find any more appropriate words for a while. It is said to be a watch shop, but at present, there are only six samples of table clocks with different shapes in this Tissot watch shop, all of which are sold by on-site orders and then delivered to the door for commissioning, as for when to order, it depends on the production capacity of Yip's watch workshop. In modern times, such stores would inevitably close down due to overlord sales methods and almost unpredictable delivery times, but in this day and age, orders in just one day are enough to schedule production until winter. From the second day of the opening of Tissot Watch & Clocks, there was a peculiar sight in the shop, and every time it was punctual there were bound to be several well-dressed men standing there waiting to hear the melodious sound of the bell and then leaving contentedly, and there seemed to be a growing trend of such people.

In general, after three rounds of gambling battles, everyone now regards Ye Tao as the first craftsman in Dongping, and the things he made are not only exquisite, but simply magical. If the previous Iron Gecko and Iron Blood Hero were just amazing, then this time the thing named "Illusory Dome" is crazy, just performing it once is obviously not enough, I don't know how many people have come to the door to ask for another meeting, and even have been entrusted with the way of talking about Weixin.

Although Tan Weixin watched it once during the rehearsal, she only had the opportunity to carefully check this magical big guy during Ye Tao's two days of sleep. For Tan Weixin, after understanding the principle, this "Illusory Dome" does not seem to be so mysterious. Tan Weixin finally had a general understanding of this whole thing in advance, and the whole song of "Fishing Boat Singing Night", from the orchestra with instruments to the invitation of Liu Xiangyuan, the No. 1 guzheng player in Danyang, to play the main role, she handled it single-handedly. She originally thought that Ye Tao wanted to get a simple projector and make an animated short film or something, but she didn't expect that Ye Tao, who didn't know what was on her body, came up with such a much more difficult, but even more surprising thing.

In fact, the Dome of Colors is a multi-function projector with nine channels, and each light source has a complex mechanism in front of it, which can be interchangeably installed with something similar to a slide holder. Every three channels are projected on the same screen, one channel is responsible for the background, and the other two channels project different foreground dynamics, similar to the concept of reels in early computer games, and by arranging different elements on different reels to achieve dynamics, not to mention a strong designer like Ye Tao, even some anime and game lovers who have a little research on animation technology, understand what is going on.

All the slides are thin crystal slices, on which a variety of patterns are drawn with transparent pigments, and it is surprising that Ye Tao's mastery of color has reached such a point that he can achieve such rich and magnificent colors completely with transparent pigments.

For example, the dynamic activities of fishing boats and cloud shadows are relatively slow, and there are not many slides drawn, and when it comes to expression, they are all achieved by quickly changing the film manually. And the rapid and coherent action of the extremely classic egret combing its wings and flapping its wings and flying into the blue sky used more than 100 crystal pieces. The crystals are connected by copper sheets and mounted on a specially designed crank barrel, which is turned to quickly project continuous images onto the screen.

Even the curtain used for the screen is specially treated, and the white curtain surface is brushed with a layer of paint made of crystal powder and oyster shell powder, so that the image on the curtain can appear clearer and brighter.

When Tan Weixin was amazed by such a design, she finally understood that the most difficult part of this thing was not the optical design of the front end, but the light source. Ye Tao was magical, but he wasn't so magical as to be able to make high-brightness, reliable light bulbs and batteries to power the nine light channels of the "Illusory Dome" in a few days, he used a completely traditional light source, something that was scorching and burning. At the bottom of the entire Dome of Color, soaked in a small pool of water, were nine copper cylinders, which contained a very peculiar incendiary agent. This incendiary is a specially processed mixture of whale oil and a kind of insect oil, and the smell is naturally not very good. However, this incendiary agent has a characteristic that it emits a strong white light after ignition, and the color is very pure. Moreover, this incendiary agent does not emit smoke when burned, and the burned residue automatically sinks to the bottom of the copper cylinder and is then pumped away. If the incendiary agent is poured and the residue is pumped out, as long as the circulation of the pool used to dissipate heat can be solved, the Dome of Illusion can theoretically be continuously screened.

Knowledge is indeed the primary productive force. Looking at the many simplistic treatments in the Illusory Dome, such as the lens group that cannot be focused according to the distance of the screen, and a large number of places that require manual rather than more precise mechanical drive operations, Tan Weixin knows that in fact, this time Ye Tao is still tricky. Playing with light and images, which is a small trick of modern people, is too shocking for this era.

…… The real answer is out ... Including the principle ~

Yesterday, in order not to leave everyone with a night of suspense, I posted an extra chapter, so today it is less, of course, two more or two more.
