Chapter 46: Enlightenment

In the trance after waking up, Ye Tao felt as if he was holding a ball of warm jade in his arms, a ball of warm jade with an incredible soft touch. is different from the plump feeling coming from behind - now, the "Sophie Marceau" collected by Ye Tao often falls asleep in this carefully made bed that Ye Tao carefully made may be the most comfortable in this era before Ye Tao, who basically can't go to sleep until the early hours of the morning, rests. Sophie Marceau, who has long been aware of the fact that she will eventually become Ye Tao's "bed partner", began to warm the bed when Ye Tao was not ready to eat her, Ye Tao was also a little helpless, so he could only push Sophie Marceau inside before going to bed to leave enough space for himself. When I woke up in the morning, although the two were often entangled in an unsightly manner, Sophie Marceau was carefully "cultivated" by Ye Tao after all, and it can't be said that she was open-minded or didn't care, but she just had a mature banter mood. He didn't hate it.

But now the soft touch in my arms is different, this softness seems too delicate. It is so delicate that people want to hug it tightly to show their affection.

Ye Tao did this, and then he heard his familiar voice muttering unconsciously: "Brother Ye Tao, you are awake." ”

It's actually Dai Qiuyan! Ye Tao woke up all of a sudden. How could Dai Qiuyan end up in his bed?

Naturally, he didn't know that because he had promised Dai Qiuyan to take her to see the performance of the improved "Illusory Dome" in the theater-like interpretation hall that could accommodate 500 people installed in the Yi Zhan Building, Dai Qiuyan, who had only heard of the brilliant light and shadow and had never witnessed it, was excited all night, only slept for a while and woke up, and tiptoed into Ye Tao's room to wake Ye Tao up. However, when she found that she couldn't seem to wake up Ye Tao, her sleepiness came up. The intimacy with Ye Tao, coupled with her young age, naturally did not have any scruples, so she simply fell into the arms of her favorite "Brother Ye Tao" to make up for sleep, and the comfortable big bed made her fall asleep in almost a minute.

"Young grandma is really interesting," Sophie Marceau woke up next, and she put her chin on Ye Tao's shoulder and whispered next to Ye Tao's ear. Her brisk voice still carries traces of the crisp and soft French tongue of the Frankish kingdom where she was born and spent most of her childhood. And such a tone made Ye Tao even more embarrassed.

Helplessly hugging Sophie Marceau's head, Ye Tao said, "Sophie...... I'll leave it to you. Then he jumped out of bed.

When Ye Tao appeared in the Yi Zhan Building with Sophie Marceau and Dai Qiuyan an hour later, this small anecdote had already spread. There is no doubt that this will be the best material to ridicule Dai Qiuyan, especially when Dai Qiuyan understands what it means a few years later. Dai Qiuyan will never become a poisonous tongue who can ridicule this kind of topic, you can imagine how interesting it will be to use this topic to tease a quiet and easily shy beauty to blush a few years or even more than ten years later.

The entire interpretation hall was the first place to complete the comprehensive renovation of the Yizhan Building, and now, there are only two people in the entire hall, watching the "Fishing Boat Singing Night" screened again. Without the excellent performance of guzheng master Liu Xiangyuan, and only relying on the somewhat jerky sound accompaniment of the music box that was amplified several times, this time the performance of "Fishing Boat Singing Night" can be said to have a great degree of loss compared to the excitement of that night, but the gorgeous picture of this kind of activity that has never been appreciated still makes Sophie Marceau and Dai Qiuyan fascinated.

Ye Tao did not accompany them to watch this thing again, he was in the screening room at the moment, listening in amazement to Kassandra's discovery.

"Brother Ye," Kassandra seems to have been fascinated by this immature science, where technical factors far outweigh artistic factors, since she began working on her first short film on Rainbow Dome, "The Fishing Boat Sings Evening". Since the building where the interpretation hall of the Yi Zhan Building is located was basically completed, she has set up a marching bed in the projection room that is destined to be uncomfortable, diligently studied the expensive crystal pieces that she participated in drawing various shapes with transparent paint, and studied the dynamic continuous shots that were formed by rapid rolling, and suddenly, she seemed to realize something, "If this crystal piece rolls fast enough, it actually ...... The human eye can't even perceive that they are individual images, and only think that they are continuous moving things. If so, wouldn't it ...... Can you turn all the things in those dramas into such a show? ”

Ye Tao looked at Kassandra appreciatively. By modern standards, Kassandra is actually an out-and-out animation concept design, but this concept design is an afterthought of the principles of animation.

"Yes, but now those drama stories are too long, and before solving some problems, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to make the drama things like that." Ye Tao is a little regretful, this is the original cartoon, for the time being, he has no ability to make a movie, and the cartoon is ...... Cartoons made of crystal pieces are a little too extravagant.

Kassandra said excitedly: "It's really hard to make something that can be played on such a big screen, but it's simpler, it seems to be okay." Brother Ye, look at this thing......"

Kassandra pulled Ye Tao to the side of the table and pulled away the pile of things covered in a white cloth.

What Ye Tao saw was a very elaborate institution, something like a middle school conducting various optical experiments. The curtain used to withstand the optical projection was only one foot square, and before that, it was a surprisingly elaborate slide projector-like box.

"I made something out of the scrap crystal pieces that I cut out of the fishing boat singing night. Brother Ye, you told me the principle, I debugged it for a long time before I came out, the light source is a tallow candle and a copper spotlight, this is how the color is not pure, and the hue is always yellow. However, after all, it was made, and it was really fun. …… That is, on a one-inch square crystal piece, it is really impossible to make something too difficult. ”

As she spoke, Kassandra opened the box, lit the butter candle inside, and tightened the winding and released the switch. On the tiny screen, a very short animation is projected, about a minute long. A young girl, carrying a basket of clothes to the river to wash, but when shaking the clothes, but accidentally caught a small fish, the girl gently picked up the small fish, put it back into the river, the small fish jumped out of the water as if to thank the girl, and then, the girl watched the little fish disappear freely in the river again......

It's hard to have any emotions other than shock. The "Fishing Boat Singing Night" made on the Dome of Illusion, taking into account the mutual interference of three light channels on each screen, the picture production is as simple and simple as possible, that is, the ink painting is mixed with woodcut techniques, with outline and light and shadow as the main mode of expression, and the number of pictures is not much, it is not pure animation. However, this little short film made by Kassandra is an out-and-out color cartoon. Not only is the color bright and substantial, the layout of the picture is reasonable, but even the push, pull and pan of the lens are taken into account, and there are panoramas, medium shots and close-ups in the continuous picture, especially the group of pictures where the girl holds a small fish in both hands and puts it into the water, which is really moving. The impure color of the brass spotlight gives this short film a dim, nostalgic feeling.

"How many have you painted? How long did it take? Ye Tao asked in surprise. Kassandra's expression was proud and excited, but her face, her gestures, were a little tired.

"A total of 682 paintings were painted, all of which were so small that they were painted in less than three days." Kassandra then said apologetically, "In order to test the effect, I asked a few senior brothers from the watch workshop to help make a lot of things. I should have asked you first to get you to agree. ”

Ye Tao didn't pay much attention to Kassandra's apology, he carefully opened the box, and saw that there was a complex equalizing conical wheel inside, obviously Kassandra was fully aware of the constant speed of the roll. For Yip's Workshop, which has mastered the technology of making table clocks, it is really a simple job to ensure the uniform speed of the rotation of the mechanism with an equalizing cone wheel and a clockwork, but the difficulty lies in having such awareness.

"What's the speed at which this thing of yours rolls?" Ye Tao asked.

Kassandra was not surprised at all that Ye Tao asked the idea, after all, this set of things was born from the ideas put forward by Ye Tao. "I tested it many times before I found out," she said. If it is less than 10 frames per second, it is easy to see the feeling of each picture, and after many adjustments, it was finally decided that there are 12 frames per second. A few senior brothers with harsh eyes came to see it, and they also felt smooth. ”

Nearly 700 crystals, with the original round installation barrel is not possible, in this box, Kassandra uses a spiral ladder-like installation method, with a copper metal ring on the outermost ring, and the design of the box, which is used to place the spiral barrel of contents, is still a replaceable design. In every sense of the word, this can be called a pioneering feat.

Ye Tao looked at Kassandra, and then said appreciatively, "You are so pleasantly surprised. It's a feat, and it's a little more fun than the Dome of Color. In the future, if you want to continue to work on this set of things, you can come to me. Funds, materials, and manpower, I will let the senior brothers do their best to cooperate with you. ”

Kassandra was pleasantly surprised, she thought it would be nice to be allowed to have some leisure to play with these things in addition to working in the workshop, but she didn't expect that Ye Tao gave her full trust and support.

However, it is Ye Tao who is more proud. Ye Tao never doubted that in this era, there are very, very many smart people, but without the guidance of systematic scientific thought and the inheritance of science as an academic science, the understanding of many things is very insufficient. And people's creativity, and the ability to turn ideas into reality, is often limited to the level that they can understand and operate, which is why science has developed in modern times, and when people understand more and more, there are more and more inventions. As Kassandra delved deeper and deeper into the subject, she would have more and more demands, more and more constraints, and only the whole scientific system...... Perhaps it is under the comprehensive development of the scientific system developed under Ye Tao's piracy and exposure that these restrictions will be broken little by little. Kassandra's future demands will certainly become the impetus and pressure to promote the development of other disciplines. In the face of this little girl's various requirements, Ye Tao could already imagine the expressions of those senior brothers racking their brains and digging out their minds to come up with various solutions.

Kassandra was excited, and suddenly asked, "Brother Ye, is there such a thing...... What about transparent, long, roll-ups? If so, it would be easier to draw something like that into a grid. Now this kind of spiral drum, 700 pieces of things is very reluctant, I am afraid to make a little longer...... I'm afraid it's going to be hard. ”

Film? Ye Tao chuckled in his heart, Kassandra must have grown up too fast, and her understanding of animation was a little too deep, so deep that he didn't know what to say. Ye Tao couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, transparencies, but it was not said that he could do it. He could only touch his head and say, "...... There will be ......."

Kassandra looked at Ye Tao with a somewhat embarrassed look, and didn't know what Ye Tao was thinking, but she just mentioned something that she thought of by chance, and after saying "oh", she let go of the topic. Ye Taoyun can continue to play this animation, it is already a big thing that can make her happy for several months.
