The Secret History of Mars.

Chapter 18 False Prosperity

When the capsule door opened again, Cui Xingmeng thought he had returned to the earth, the scene in front of him was very similar to the city center of city A, and what Ye Qinghe brought the two of them into was the villa area where their wedding house was located.

"Can the earth core capsule also travel through time and space? Are we going home again?" Cui Xingmeng asked Yuan Yizhou.

"It's still Mars here, and they can already use holographic optics to set up virtual scenes, which are so realistic that ordinary people on earth can no longer distinguish them." Yuan Yizhou replied, "Miemeng Gallery also has such a room, which feels like a holographic movie. My company's reception room is very similar."

Ye Qinghe was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "How did you find out? I don't remember we talked about this in the Miemeng Gallery."

"It's the walls of that room. I think it's easy for you to set indoor scenes with relatively predictable motion patterns, but for some randomly changing natural scenes, in order to prevent people from discovering the deliberateness, you chose not to make any settings." Yuan Yizhou replied.

"What's the problem? The big deal is that your company's reception room is a row of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire city. The room in the Miemeng Gallery has no windows." Ye Qinghe tried to rationalize this loophole in the setting.

"There is nothing wrong with this setup. The problem is that your wall is not an ordinary wall, but a screen covered with photosensitive material, which is a special material for holographic projection technology." Yuan Yizhou hit the nail on the head, "If it's just a layout similar to room, why would you use that material for the walls?"

Ye Qinghe smiled, "As expected of the top appraiser on earth, your ability of observation and insight is really a match."

"It's not just that room. When we arrived at the shuttle station at the bottom of Olympus just now and walked out of the Miemeng Gallery, I think the surface of your entire Miemeng Gallery spaceship is covered with this material." Yuan Yizhou continued like a detective. , analyzing.

"So?" Ye Qinghe was noncommittal.

"So, if I'm not wrong, Miemeng Gallery has always been at No. 1 Dayun South Road, Jiexiong North Street, but it has been invisible through holographic projection." Yuan Yizhou summed up his deduction in stages.

"When did you start to doubt?" Ye Qinghe acquiesced to Yuan Yizhou's conclusion.

"When I scanned the time coordinates of the key card of Miemeng Gallery and opened the door to enter the gallery, Luo Tang's clothes shrank a little." Yuan Yizhou replied, "Since then, I have been suspicious, until Xingmeng told me just now that Luo Tang Tangyi is a polymer smart material, and everything is reasonable."

Seeing Ye Qinghe's silence, Yuan Yizhou continued: "The current photosensitive materials on the earth have an unavoidable defect, that is, their linear response range is limited, so some parts of the input signal cannot be detected or converted."

"Obviously the Martian civilization has overcome this problem and found a way to make full-bandwidth photosensitive materials."

"This is just your inference, you have no evidence." Ye Qinghe tried to interrupt Yuan Yizhou's train of thought.

"No, I have! The evidence is that you gave Luotang Tsingyi Pavilion, Fei Yu's water knife for cutting Luotang's fabric!" Yuan Yizhou watched Ye Qinghe, Cui Xingmeng was very familiar with Yuan Yizhou's expression, every time the results of the cultural relics appraisal came to light , when the conclusion was sealed, he always had this handsome expression that made her fall in love with him so much!

"More precisely, it's a molecular knife! When the Luotang cloth meets it, the molecular chain will be cut off, and it doesn't require physical contact. It feels like cutting from a distance. This is the feeling that fascinates Fei Yu."

Saying that, Yuan Yizhou put his hand into the right-hand pocket of Luo Tang's suit jacket, took it out from it, and put it in a sealed bag. Luo Tangyi's water blade.

"If my guess is correct, this water blade and the holographic projected villa area in front of me should be made of similar materials, so Luo Tangyi will have a rejection reaction when he passes through the door of Miemeng Gallery."

Yuan Yizhou opened the sealed bag, and slowly took out the water blade the size of a paper knife from inside, "If Miss Ye doesn't mind, I want to see the real face of this place."

Then, before Ye Qinghe had time to react, he swiped the water blade towards the prosperous scene in front of him. Where the blade passed, the picture in front of him was cut by light, and the dark background was inside the hole, but soon the opening The box closes automatically.

Cui Xingmeng was intoxicated by her fiancé's reasoning like a girl, and was awakened by the opening and closing in front of her eyes.At this time, she noticed that not far in front of the three of them, a figure was walking towards them.

"Mr. Yizhou will arrive in the room in a while, and it will not be too late to turn off the holographic projection. Closing it here will affect the dreams of many residents." Ye Qinghe did not deny that the prosperity in front of him was false, and said to the visitor, "No. [-] Seeds and catalysts are here, please worry about it."

"Miss Cui, Mr. Yuan, welcome to the Seed Hotel!" The familiar voice made Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng look at the speaker at the same time.

"Property Li?!" The two said in unison, "Why are you here?"

"Hello, everyone. I am receptionist No. 285 of the Seed Hotel. Mr. Shui Zaitian has already customized a room for you. Please move over here."

Ye Qinghe took the opportunity to say goodbye to Cui Xingmeng and Yuan Yizhou.Watching them and the receptionist enter the lobby, she didn't turn around and go back to the core capsule, but went in the opposite direction and walked into the darkness.

Yuan Yizhou signaled Cui Xingmeng not to speak, and the two followed receptionist No. 285 into the lobby of the unit, then entered the entrance elevator as if they were going home, and came to the entrance.

After entering the room, Yuan Yizhou immediately began to look for the switch to turn off the holographic projection. This wedding room was designed and decorated by Yuan Yizhou himself, including the steel frame structure project on the second floor, from water and electricity laying to soft packaging and hard decoration. Knows well.

He believes that even if Martians can use holographic technology to reproduce the appearance of the surface, the interior design of this house cannot be replicated in a short time by holographic technology, and if it is just to make it look like a house on Earth, there is no need to replicate the surface of the house things below.

The most direct connection between the surface and the interior is the electrical box of the house, so he first opened the electrical box next to the elevator.Cui Xing dreamed that he was checking the electrical box, and said, "Mars doesn't seem to be powered by electricity, and they don't have any lighting system."

"No lighting system?" Yuan Yizhou looked at the empty electrical box, confirming Cui Xingmeng's words, "They don't use electricity?"

"Yes, Bao Xi said that the geothermal heat provided by the core of Mars is enough to drive the atomic energy level transition of the luminous matter here to emit light, and it doesn't need too much energy." Cui Xingmeng recalled what Bao Xi said to himself in the moonlight tunnel in the underground Crystal City.

"Geothermal drive!" Inspired, Yuan Yizhou came to the bathroom and opened the bathroom cabinet. Below it was the main switch for the geothermal heating of the entire stacked villa. Sure enough, it was densely covered with silver pipes of various sizes, as thin as wires. Thick ones are like human wrists.Each pipe leads to a different direction of the room, and at the confluence point of all these pipes in the bathroom cabinet, there is a dial like a switch.

Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng looked at each other, the two understood, and together they held the turntable tightly with four hands and turned it clockwise. At this time, Cui Xingmeng felt that the room suddenly became much brighter, and signaled Yuan Yizhou to turn it backwards.Yuan Yizhou changed the steering direction to counterclockwise, and sure enough, the room gradually darkened, not only the lighting, but even the floor, wall and ceiling were a little blurred.

Yuan Yizhou was heartbroken, and turned the turntable counterclockwise to the limit, that is, completely closed the entrance of the geothermal energy supply, and the whole room was quickly plunged into darkness. After less than a minute, Cui Xingmeng and Yuan Yizhou's eyes gradually adapted to the surroundings. In the dark, the true face of their place slowly appeared in front of them.

"What is this?!" Cui Xingmeng hid behind Yuan Yizhou in horror, and asked in a voice.
