"Theoretically, it can indeed have a good effect, but how did you achieve the projection you said?" Brother Dmitry asked curiously.

"Father Michael will show it to you, please." Guo Kang said.

"Okay." The monk nodded, turned his head and commanded, "Brother John, please take out the icon book and show it to Brother Dmitry." ”

When Brother John heard this, he trotted into the storehouse and carefully pulled out a richly decorated box.

Father Michael wiped his hands with the cloth towel in front of the car, and took out a rather generous scroll from the box.

Brother John put down the box and helped him pull the scroll open, only to see that the scroll was mounted in a very strange way: a long belt was embedded on each side, and square holes were made in it.

In the middle, the cloth used for mounting the painting is very long, and the place where the drawing paper is placed is hollowed out. The paper is not attached to it, but embedded in it.

The paper looks thin and takes on a translucent color in sunlight. With a touch of ink on it, a string of sacred images of the heavenly brother is drawn. If you look closely, the body parts of Brother Tian are exactly the same, but between each two pictures, the position of the hands and arms is slightly different, and the color of the icon is also a little strange.

"Is this the style of the East?" A monk asked.

"Yes. I still asked for this paper from my grandfather, and he was distressed. Guo Kang shook his head helplessly.

"Hey, it's another technology dependency." Tuohuan also sighed.

"He also found someone to make this scroll. Although no one has taken this strange order, we have increased the money and found a master who is willing to give it a try. Guo Kang continued: "The current structure is also the product of their many attempts. For example, those leather strips can prevent the reels from being pulled off, so they are added. ”

"Printing is also using oriental technology. The engraving is made first, and the unchanged parts are engraved, that is, the head and torso. Then, ask the artist to repaint the changed places. That's what you can do. ”

Although I didn't know what to do with so many paintings, everyone nodded their heads, indicating that they at least understood the process.

Father Michael Mohair's men are now moving a couple of tripods out of the storeroom. Someone else found a glass lens, mounted it on top of a tripod, and tweaked it slightly to align it with the lamp.

"Lenses change the direction of light. After being treated with a mirror, the light is straight, so we need to spread it out. Guo Kang said.

"Theoretically, you can replace it with a mirror of a different shape, but that thing is not easy to carry; It's okay to change the position of the lamp, but our mirrors can't be too big, which will leak more light and need to be calculated and adjusted on the spot. ”

"You have seen the situation on our side. At present, only the technical priests are more proficient in this, and many ordinary monks can only perform operations according to the mantra. As for slave labor, only strength can be made. Therefore, in order to be effective in various occasions, we would rather sacrifice some performance and pursue convenience when designing. ”

"Here, we've added a lens that's dedicated to animation. In this way, even a clergyman in the mountains of Serbia could directly operate it according to the scriptures as long as he could recognize a few words. He pointed to the lens that stood tall in the air: "The specifications of this thing are certain, and the distance from the lamp has been calculated." They only need to take a ruler and measure it, put it on the ground, and they can start broadcasting. ”

By the time they were polishing, they had already measured all the data they needed. These Greeks don't say anything else, their ability to calculate geometry is not bad, radians, parabolas, etc., can be calculated, so there is no need for him to worry.

"What is animation?" Dmitry heard a new word again.

"It's a painting that can be moved." Guo Kang pointed to another erected wooden platform and replied.

When the monks were laid, Father Michael climbed up on his own. At the top of the shelf was a hand-cranked gear set that they had seen many times today. However, on the outermost, there are two large wooden gears that are symmetrical up and down, and they are connected by wooden sticks.

On the opposite side of the gear set, there are two circles. A monk handed the scroll to it, and Father Michael carefully fixed the earth axis at the end of the scroll into the two rings. Then he pulled out the sky axis at the beginning and inserted it into a pair of holes in the edge of the gear. The belt hole also snaps right into the long wooden teeth.

Father Michael shook the handle so that the first icon was aimed squarely at the diffuser lens and the lamp. Under the gloomy storeroom shed, a faint image appeared on the opposite wall.

"It's going to be better at night, so let's probably try it now." Guo Kang said, "Father, please start. ”

Father Michael nodded, asked an assistant to help him, rolled the scroll back to its beginning, then recited a few verses, drew a cross, and began to shake the turntable suddenly and vigorously.

The wooden gears were not too heavy and accelerated quickly. The long beginning of the scroll also quickly crossed, and the row of translucent Heavenly Brother Icons quickly passed in front of the beam.

Dmitry and the others saw that the projection of the Heavenly Brother on the wall suddenly moved—he raised his hand and made a classic religious gesture.

It's just that, in just an instant, Brother Tian's image disappeared, leaving only a white light.

"We're not done yet. As for the follow-up action, the theologians of the Church of Constantinople have put forward several plans, and they are still arguing. You'll have to wait for them to discuss it, and then let the artist draw it slowly. Guo Kang said.

However, the visiting monks did not bother with his explanation.

Again, the crowd shouted, "The icon moves!" "This Heavenly Brother manifestation—no, it's the technique of Heavenly Brother's grace!" , cheered, and fell into a frenzied atmosphere.

Fr. Michael was so pleased that he stroked his beard and leaned over to return the salute to the monks who had come to congratulate him. Brother Dmitry began to come up with his own theories.

"I think it's good to leave it blank at the end, and I don't need to draw more." He noted: "At that moment, I saw Brother Heavenly become light—could there be anything more holy? ”

The patriarchs and senior theologians of the church at Castle King must have discussed this. They wanted to represent more complex religious symbols. Guo Kang himself doesn't really understand. If it weren't for the content that Jeanne asked him to make up for temporarily, he probably wouldn't have been able to answer now, so he had to use authority to deal with it.

"The image of Brother Tian is just an ornament, and the big people on it won't understand." Dmitry shook his head, but still insisted: "As long as the appropriate religious symbols are expressed, it will be fine." In my opinion, the simpler and clearer it is, the closer you are to God theologically. It's going to be easier for your technology, right? ”

"I'm not going to comment on that." Guo Kang had no choice but to push it on the Great Lama Wang: "I am not a professional theologian after all. You could write a formal letter to the Patriarch or Abbot John explaining the issue. ”

Brother Dmitry understood, too, and nodded.

"The church of Kingburgh must be willing to pay for it." Tuohuan interjected: "This is indeed more exciting than I imagined - is there anyone else?" ”

"You can also draw some of the saints." Guo Kang replied: "But our production capacity is limited now, let's do a good job first." ”

"I think that's a good way to make a claim." Tuhuan pointed to the scroll: "What's going on with this...... Just this kind of paper man Brother Tian, although it is quite vague and a little shaky, but it is already very good. If you put it in other religions, it is estimated that people will be regarded as Buddha's light, miracles, and so on. ”

"Brother Paperman...... That's right. Guo Kang spread his hands: "In this way, the bishop of Rome is still too honest to make money, and he actually sells indulgences honestly." It's better to take the paper people of the saints and pay everyone for the lottery, so that you can earn more. ”

"Huh?"
