Chapter 6688: Remember this glass of wine
Chapter 6688 Remember this glass of wine
Just as Chen Xi and his cousin Fan Qin were eating barbecue and drinking wine, Yuan Shu's subordinates came out carrying a large projection-type arcane mirror, activated it on the stage, and then a three-dimensional figure appeared directly on the stage.
Chen Xi was stunned by this scene. Although the images recorded by the secret mirror could indeed be converted into three-dimensional images, the technical skills required to project them like real people were no joke. According to the conclusion of Tong Yuan and Nan Dou at the time, to achieve this, you either had to be among the top 30 in the world in terms of light and shadow manipulation ability, or you could construct a three-dimensional image in your mind, otherwise don't count on it.
Chen Xi did not recognize the veteran soldier under Yuan Shu, which meant that he was definitely not among the top 30 in the world. As for the person who constructed a three-dimensional image of every scene in his mind, Chen Xi had already pulled this kind of person to the research institute. How could he still stay under Yuan Shu?
This is a real talent!
"How is it?" Fan Qin pointed at the real version of the Yizhou regional cockfighting competition being played on the table and asked Chen Xi with a smile.
At the same time, the already very popular barbecue venue became even more popular. There were large-scale cockfighting events to watch, and small bets could be made. There was barbecue and free wine to drink. The guys who stayed up all night were now very happy.
"This technology is very powerful." Chen Xi said with some emotion.
The technology of opening and closing the secret mirror is something that the Han Dynasty has been promoting. Up to now, the Han Dynasty has the largest number of people mastering this technology among the three empires. However, for Chen Xi, this number is still far from enough. He needs at least 20,000 people to master this technology, and these 20,000 people have to be among the people.
Only in this way can Chen Xi rely on the secret mirror and recruit these people to carry out literacy education for the local people. Various scientific knowledge, short stories about various cultural customs, various video materials, etc. can be popularized to the local people.
The Han Dynasty is not short of this information, but what it lacks is people who can take the secret magic mirror to other places to play these things for the people. You must know that even for the fifth level of smelting and refining Qi into Gang, many of them cannot activate the secret magic mirror. Of course, there are also some people who can use the secret magic mirror when their internal Qi is condensed. In short, the conditions for using this thing are rather strange. After all, it is a way to project consciousness.
Therefore, when seeing this kind of technology developed on the secret mirror to make the projection more exquisite and realistic, Chen Xi was still quite impressed. Of course, it would be even better if the difficulty of opening the secret mirror could be reduced. Unfortunately, the difficulty does not seem to be reduced.
"I did it." Fan Qin said with some pride.
"Cousin..." Chen Xi was stunned. He had wondered why Fan Qin brought him to Yuan Shu's place to eat and drink. It was not that they were not familiar with Yuan Shu, but with Fan Qin's personality, he had contact with Yuan Shu, but as for how close their relationship was, forget it.
Therefore, it is indeed strange that Fan Qin would come to support such a small place.
"I was doing nothing in southern Australia, and I just happened to have this thing on hand. I studied it casually, and when I reached a dead end in my thinking, I just happened to come up with it." Fan Qin said with a smile, "And you know me, I actually have some good expectations for this country, so when I came back from there, I brought the whole set of technology back. I was going to give it to you directly, but I happened to meet Yuan Gonglu, so I lent it to him for verification first."
"Isn't your spiritual talent related to literature?" Chen Xi asked in a daze.
"Astronomy is not liberal arts, and geography is not science. By the way, I opened a talent for liberal arts, not literature. Sister Jian can even send the wrong message. As expected, I, as a brother, have no status in her eyes." Fan Qin said helplessly, "In fact, it is just an application of light, which reduces the difficulty of using the secret mirror to some extent."
"The difficulty of use has been reduced?" Chen Xi said with some surprise.
Whether it is three-dimensional or not is not important to Chen Xi. If he wants to educate the people, there is no difference between a three-dimensional movie and an ordinary movie. The current threshold is that if you use the secret mirror as a movie, it is very difficult to use. Most people who can use it are either the backbone leaders in the military or the core top of the family. In short, most of them cannot use this thing to educate the people.
Although after going abroad, many core members of the families, after mastering this technology, would bring the secret mirror to teach the people under their rule when they had nothing to do, the problem was that there were too few people. This is literacy, so frequency and scale are very important.
"I knew from the beginning that Zichuan had a heart of tolerance for the world. As your uncle, I didn't help you, and I even caused you trouble. I have been in the south for so many years, so this is more or less a gift." Fan Qin said with a smile, "It is half as difficult to use as before, and it can probably allow several times more people to use it, reaching your minimum requirement back then. How do you think?"
"My uncle is indeed a god. Could you tell me how this was achieved?" Chen Xi bowed to Fan Qin and said with admiration.
"I realized this when I was watching the sky in the southern hemisphere. Many people can use the secret mirror, but they can't cast it. It's not that they can't use it after getting it." Fan Qin chuckled and said, "So there are some people who can see the contents of the secret mirror, but they can't display it."
Chen Xi nodded. This was the problem. The number of people who could see the contents in the secret mirror was much greater than the number of people who could release the images in the secret mirror. However, the number of people who could project the images in the secret mirror completely and clearly on a large screen was much smaller than the former.
More importantly, what Chen Xi wanted was the latter type. Even if it couldn't be as big as the movie screens of later generations, but could be as big as an ordinary TV, Chen Xi could accept it. After all, the situation in the 1970s and 1980s where a group of people gathered around a small TV in the drying yard to watch TV could also play a role in literacy.
However, even very few people can achieve the latter level. Most people can only display the images recorded in the secret mirror on the fist-sized secret mirror.
What about Zena's direct large-scale three-dimensional imaging? Damn, there are no more than thirty people in the whole world who can do it. They are absolutely top rare talents.
"In fact, when the first type of people use the secret mirror, the secret mirror has already been activated, but the degree of activation cannot be seen by others." Fan Qin raised his index finger and said with a smile, "But if you observe it in a special way, you will realize that the secret mirror is actually working."
Chen Xi nodded. There was no problem with this. Nan Dou and Tong Yuan had also studied this point, but it would be difficult to make further progress in the future.
"My spiritual talent is useless. It just allows me to observe some things that are difficult to observe normally. The operation of the secret mirror is something I can directly observe." Fan Qin said with a smile, "It is an invisible thing similar to light, and it has its own rules."
After hearing this, Chen Xi instantly realized what Fan Qin had added to the secret mirror.
"Cathode ray tube, you added the cathode ray tube, right?" Chen Xi said excitedly.
"Cathode ray tube? What is that?" Fan Qin was stunned for a moment, then he realized what Chen Xi was talking about and nodded. "Indeed, this name is quite appropriate. It allows the originally invisible waves to be visible through a special filter. As for the current three-dimensional state, it is just a very normal operation."
"Awesome, my uncle is really awesome." Chen Xi gave Fan Qin a thumbs up. Even he had to admire Fan Qin's operation. This set of operations really stunned Chen Xi. Even if he relied on spiritual talent to capture certain things that were originally unobservable, being able to instantly realize the transformation of these unobservable contents into observable contents was also a skill.
"Not bad, here, this is a brief summary of the whole set of technology. I haven't done in-depth research on this, but just extended the research done by Master Tong and Master Nan Dou. You only need to give this part of my technology to the two of them, and they can further improve it." Fan Qin said very casually. He came to see Chen Xi to thank Chen Xi for arranging a way out for their several half-wasted families.
There's no way. Logically speaking, the Fan family is indeed a thousand-year-old family, but the population is not prosperous on the one hand, and their combat effectiveness has not been strong in recent years. In addition, their ancestors were fortune tellers, which is very different from the military aristocrats who are into racing. Therefore, they are somewhat not accustomed to the changes in the new era.
In other words, the transition was too early, the main military skills were lost, they could not fight, they could not go to Central Asia, and they had no way to get on the fast track, but they did not want to give up this beautiful era, so they asked Chen Xi to help them, these families with a good reputation and a moral tradition, to find a way forward.
Of course, Fan Liang had only mentioned this matter to Chen Xi on behalf of the Fan family, the Meng family and other families back then, and he didn't have much expectations. Unexpectedly, Chen Xi actually arranged a good way for them. Although New Zealand is not big, it is enough for their families to share, and they really have no motivation to fight, so after taking New Zealand, they stayed there stably, and their lives were quite good over the years.
And this is a favor, and the Fan family attaches great importance to this, so Fan Qin thought of some ways to see if he could repay this favor. Even if he couldn't repay it all, with the mentality of repaying as much as he could, Fan Qin specifically studied what materials Chen Xi currently needed to build the Han Dynasty.
Then he picked out this seemingly insignificant thing, which was actually used to consolidate the foundation of the country. When returning the favor, he appeared very low-key and easy-going.
"Thank you so much, uncle." Chen Xi bowed to Fan Qin. He didn't care whether this thing was made by Fan Qin after careful consideration to repay a favor, or whether it was a spur of the moment, accidental masterpiece. It didn't matter, as long as this thing could meet his requirements, that was enough.
"Thank you for nothing! My whole family asked me to thank you. I am too lazy to say these words. They are all in the wine. I drank it. Who knows when I will be back next time after staying in Chang'an for half a year. I guess you won't have the chance to see me again." Fan Qin picked up his wine glass in a casual manner, with the unrestrained and romantic look of a famous scholar.
"How is it in New Zealand?" Chen Xi didn't dwell on it. It didn't matter whether the other party came to thank him or not. What mattered was that his brother-in-law was doing things for him, which made him feel very comfortable.
"It's the kind of pastoral idyll that most people imagine." Fan Qin said with some emotion.
"What's important is fantasy, not pastoral idyll, right?" Chen Xi scolded with a smile.
"Nonsense, for someone like me, if you let me enjoy the real pastoral life, I will be carried away in less than half a year. Only this kind of imaginary pastoral life can make me live so freely." Fan Qin was not dissatisfied with Chen Xi's scolding, but replied with a bit of pride, "I, your uncle, am actually a waste. I was driven by my family in the first half of my life. I didn't live the life I liked, but you know the Han Dynasty."
Chen Xi was also moved when he heard this, holding the wine glass. How could he not understand? He understood better than Fan Qin. This was no longer a problem of the Han Dynasty. This was a problem of the millennium habit of the entire country. Everyone in this place was very competitive and it had been like this since ancient times.
"As the strongest in the family, I have to be responsible for the family. I was very unhappy in the first half of my life, but after going there, I had a feeling of breaking free from the barriers. You have to leave Central Plains for a while before you can feel where the problem lies." Fan Qin said softly.
"But if you're away for too long, you'll start to miss it." Chen Xi nodded and said.
"Yes, once you get there and stay there for a long time, you will miss the Central Plains. Likewise, if you stay there for a long time, you will also realize what you are doing and what you want to accomplish. If my uncle were still young, I guess he would fight with you when he realized what you want to do. After all, this is really for the great China." Fan Qin touched his beard and said with some emotion.
"It's a pity that my uncle is now approaching the age of 50, and he really doesn't have the ability to follow you." Fan Qin said self-deprecatingly, "I'm relying on you, you can definitely do it."
"I remember you are forty-five this year?" Chen Xi said very seriously.
"Then it's also heading straight for knowing destiny." Fan Qin said with a smile.
"Okay." Chen Xi looked at his brother-in-law's carefree side and didn't ask any more questions.
"This cup is my toast to you. You don't have to drink it. Just keep it in mind. If one day the road ahead becomes difficult, remember that your uncle who ran away admires you very much for this matter." Fan Qin said seriously, "I really admire your ambition."
"Not really. If you have the ability, wouldn't it be nice to let everyone live an easy life?" Chen Xi asked back.
