Chapter 299: big liar
At this time, the four chamber of commerce employees carefully carried over an auction item and placed it in the center of the stage.
Although the object is covered by a piece of silk, the audience cannot see its true appearance, but from the appearance, it looks more like a door panel, with a height of more than 2 meters and a width of more than 1 meter.
Goode strode to the auction item and opened the silk.
At this moment, a beam of red light was projected from the roof, drawing an extremely bright red circle in the center of the stage, just covering the auction item.
At the same time, Goode's high voice rang.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the auction item now on the stage is called the Mirror of the Sky. It is the first treasure to be auctioned today..."
At this time, a huge hustle and bustle broke out in the audience, which completely drowned Goode's voice. No one could hear what he said behind him. A trace of helplessness appeared on his face and he had to stop talking.
Because this auction item is really amazing.
This is a huge metal mirror, which is inlaid in a white painted wooden mirror frame. The surface of the mirror frame is carved with delicate and complicated patterns, which looks very beautiful.
Although the frame looks quite good, it shouldn't surprise everyone too much. What really shocks everyone is the metal mirror itself, which is the so-called "mirror in the sky."
From this mirror, everyone clearly saw a world.
It is like an entrance to another time and space, and everyone has an illusion: as long as you pass through the white wooden frame, you can reach a very strange space.
If you look closely, you can find that there is a stage in the "other world", and there are many people sitting under the stage, and there are stunned expressions on each face.
It’s just weird, why does all this look so familiar?
Wait, isn't this the stage in front of you?
Aren’t those audiences just like yourself?
After a small number of viewers realized this, they suddenly realized that this "Entrance to the Other World" turned out to be just a mirror.
God, this "mirror of the sky" is amazing, right?
It was simply placed on the stage like this, without the presence of the mirror, as if it had completely disappeared.
Is this really a mirror?
Or is it being cast by a legendary magic?
Most viewers didn't even notice that this turned out to be a mirror.
They looked at the scene in the mirror with a look as if they had seen a ghost, and fell into a deep dullness.
A very small number of viewers showed panic, as if worried that the sudden appearance of "other worlds" and the "other worlds" inside would threaten their safety.
But the panic of these turtles was quickly dispelled.
Because they heard the excitement of other people.
"Father God is here, this'mirror of the sky' is so clear, I have never seen such a clear mirror..."
"Yes, this ‘sky mirror’ is 10,000 times clearer than my mirror. It’s definitely the clearest mirror in the world,"
"Are you talking about mirrors? Why can't I see the existence of mirrors at all?"
"I didn't see the mirror either, I felt there was nothing in the wooden frame..."
"Idiot, look at the things in the mirror again. Are they exactly the same as those in this hall? Isn't this a mirror?"
"Lady, you can wave your hand in the mirror, and you will see that there is also a lady waving in the mirror..."
"It's unbelievable. I really don't know what the Haichao Chamber of Commerce made this ‘Sky Mirror’..."
Goode listened to the noisy noises in the audience, only smiled without saying a word, quietly waiting for the audience to vent their excitement.
When he saw the Mirror of the Sky for the first time, he was so scared that his chin fell to the ground. If it weren't for the Lord Lord to explain the principle, he didn't know why this strange phenomenon occurred.
Simply put, the reason why the naked eye can see objects is precisely because of diffuse reflection.
The rough surface of the object reflects the light irregularly, and diffuses it in different directions. The light falls on the eyeball, so that people can see the whole picture of the object.
Even if it is a mirror with a relatively smooth surface, if you look closely and look closely, or use a magnifying glass to zoom in, you can see that the surface is actually uneven.
In other words, part of the light reflected by ordinary mirrors is specular reflection, and the other part is diffuse reflection. The former leads to "imaging", and the latter allows people to see the existence of the mirror.
But the mirror of the sky is different.
Its surface finish is unimaginable. In the light beam falling on the mirror surface, 99.999% of the light is specularly reflected, and less than 0.001% of the light is diffusely reflected.
On the one hand, the diffuse reflection is reduced to the extreme, which is why the audience cannot see the mirror of the sky.
On the other hand, the specular reflection has increased to the extreme, and the detail level of the "imaging" has also broken through the limit that the naked eye can discern, achieving a nearly "real" effect, which is why the audience sees the "different world".
Of course, Goode will not explain the principle, it is better to let the mirror of the sky keep a mysterious color in the minds of the turtles.
After the discussion in the audience subsided, Goode began to introduce (a few bragging about) the Sky Mirror in detail.
"The material of the Sky Mirror is a special alloy with ultra-high strength. It is made of 13 kinds of common metals and 4 kinds of rare metals, after a month of smelting..."
This is obviously a lie.
Where are ordinary metals and rare metals?
How can there be a one-month smelting?
It's just that a small amount of star blue iron, black silver, and several iron isotopes were added during the magic steelmaking process, and it was released in ten minutes, and the speed was very fast.
It's just that Goode was sure that the turtles could not be detected, so he just said nonsense.
"This ‘Mirror of the Sky’ took 3 years of hard work by 6 master craftsmen, of which the first year was to polish the surface of the mirror to be roughly flat..."
"The second year is ‘finish grinding’, using three materials with different roughness to carefully grind the mirror surface to achieve a normal mirror effect..."
"The third year is'Super Precision Grinding'. In this step, our craftsmen will use more than 5 kinds of grinding materials, using different grinding methods, and grinding mirrors in turn, and finally have the effect that everyone sees now..."
In the voice of Goode's commentary, there were loud exclamations in the audience. From the expressions of the audience, it can be seen that they believed in Goode's words.
How can such a magical mirror effect be easily produced?
Three years is short!
However, this is an out-and-out lie.
Where are the 6 master craftsmen?
How can there be 3 years of polishing?
Renault just touched it casually on the mirror, and it took no more than 5 seconds, which was incredibly easy.
Goode is a big liar with a lot of lies, without a word of truth in his mouth, deceived the turtles who participated in the auction round and round.
In the manufacturing process of the Sky Mirror, the real time-consuming step is not the mirror at all, but the frame.
Specifically, it is the pattern carved on the frame.
Because Renault was too lazy to deal with such trivial matters as the frame, the people from the Department of Industry had to figure out a way to get the frame.
The rough machining of the mirror frame is very simple. With all kinds of advanced magic woodworking machinery, the wood can be cut into the required shape in just ten minutes, and then assembled into the mirror frame.
But the next carving can only rely on artificial, but the remote horns of the Haichao Islands, where can I find a suitable carving master?
Not to mention the master, there is no carver who can make do with it!
then what should we do?
At the critical moment, the magician from the Rune Research Institute had to go out.
These guys are worthy of Renault's employees who are willing to spend a "high salary" to raise them. After more than ten days of tossing, they have successfully developed a simple "magic carving machine".
Different patterns are carved on the metal carving knife. When the carving machine is working, the carving knife will carve the corresponding pattern on the surface of the part. If you want a different pattern, you only need to replace a carving knife.
Although this method cannot engrave large patterns, it is more than enough to deal with a mere frame.
In general, the processing difficulty of the Sky Mirror is very small, and the cost is pitifully low, no more than 2 Kinnars.
If necessary, Renault can produce hundreds of pieces a day, but in order to artificially create scarcity and increase the premium, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce only provided three mirrors of the sky this time.
In the extremely warm atmosphere, Goode burned the last fire.
"Everyone, before starting the bidding, we have arranged a 15-minute observation time, so you can observe the Sky Mirror up close..."
"However, since this is a very valuable item, please watch it from 2 meters away and don't touch it with your hands..."
Before he finished speaking, the audience boiled over, and hundreds of spectators swarmed toward the stage, most of them were women, and everyone's faces were full of fanaticism.
