    Zuo Shan quickly asked: "Uncle Wu, what is a translucent mirror?" Uncle Wu explained excitedly: "The shape of the 'translucent mirror' in the Western Han Dynasty is no different from that of ordinary bronze mirrors. The mirror surface is smooth and bright, and hair can be detected.  Moreover, the back of the mirror is also cast with various beautiful patterns, which are extremely exquisite. / But if the mirror is placed in the sun and the reflected light shines on the wall, the phenomenon we see now will appear, which corresponds to the pattern writing on the back of the mirror.  The image has the same light and dark. " "It's like light can pass through a metal mirror and be reflected from the back of the mirror. This is obviously a miracle and has become a mystery to Chinese and foreign scholars for hundreds of thousands of years. " After listening to Uncle Wu.  Explaining, Zuo Shan said naggingly: "How come this thing is like the demon mirror in Deification? And were the craftsmen in the Han Dynasty already so good? Can they actually make such a mirror?" "It's just like that.  You said the same thing." Uncle Wu said with a smile: "For a long time, people have been puzzled by this bizarre light transmission phenomenon.  There is nothing wrong with calling it a 'demon mirror'. " "As for the wisdom of the ancients, there is no need to say more. If nothing else, there are exquisite antiques in our store. If the ancients did not have wisdom, what do you think?  Come out?" Zuo Shan chuckled and said, "I've never seen such a magical thing before, and I've read a few ancient books, and they didn't say anything about 'perspective mirrors'." "Since I gave it to Chu Chen.  While at work, Zuo Shan also looked for a few simple antique knowledge books and read them, not hoping to become proficient in antique appraisal, at least when Chu Chen was communicating with other people.  It's not like he doesn't understand at all.  Uncle Wu smiled and said: "That's because you read few books. There are many records about translucent mirrors in ancient books. For example, it is recorded in "Taiping Guangji". The ancient mirror obtained by the Sui Dynasty king was illuminated by the sun, and it had ink and ink on its back.  "When the sun shines on the back, all the flowers are visible, and the shadows of all the protruding flowers are empty." "However, these books only record that.  It's just a weird phenomenon, and no one can explain the reason for this light transmission. Except Shen Kuo, he not only described the various peculiarities of the light-transmitting mirror in Volume 19 of "Mengxi Bitan".  The principle was stated. "Hearing this, Zuo Shan said: "This "Mengxi Bi Tan" seems to be very famous. Since the principle is written on it, why hasn't anyone produced it? " "The principle is the principle, but the application is the same.  The principle of making the mirror is not so easy to study." Uncle Wu smiled and said: "And you are wrong about one thing. It does not mean that no one knows the making method of the translucent mirror.  It is very clear in "The Legend of Madness" that translucent mirrors were often discovered until the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, but the casting method was kept secret. " Zhou Wenping said after hearing this: "The ancients took things like formulas too seriously.  Otherwise, so many excellent technologies throughout the ages would not have been lost." Chu Chen said with a smile: "Actually, this is normal, you know. In the eyes of the ancients, mirrors like this already have the taste of immortals.  In your case, would you like to teach others the technique of making such bronze mirrors? "For example, in the Tang Dynasty, some Taoist priests successfully made some bronze mirrors with inscriptions saying, "Made by Immortals."  The inscription is obviously a lie. But we can see through the veil of mystery that when they were studying the casting of light-transmitting mirrors, they were doing so in isolation. " "Because there were too many interests involved.  Not to mention keeping it secret from the general public, it is also kept secret even among fellow warlocks. Due to the purpose of deceiving others, the number of castings is very limited, and it is likely that it is self-made.  The casting and processing techniques will never be taught to the world, and there will be no written records. "Otherwise, the pretext of 'making it by immortals' will arouse the suspicion of the world. This is also the reason why this type of light-transmitting mirror cannot be spread."  The main reason why it is difficult to find evidence in the ancient books of the past dynasties." After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, everyone nodded to express their understanding.  Zuo Shan asked: "With the current level of science and technology, it shouldn't be difficult to imitate a translucent mirror, right?" Uncle Wu smiled and said: "In fact, the principle and manufacturing process of a translucent mirror have already been developed in the 1970s.  The age was studied. "Zuo Shan asked in surprise: "Ah? What's the principle?" Uncle Wu thought about it for a moment and then said: "It seems that the concave and convex areas on the back of the bronze mirror are solidified and shrunk at different rates during casting.  Stress and compressive stress are generated during grinding, resulting in elastic deformation. When grinding to a certain extent, these factors act in a superimposed manner, causing the mirror surface to produce a pattern corresponding to the mirror back. ¡± ??However, the curvature is not easily visible to the naked eye. Because the curvature cannot reflect light in parallel, it forms a shadow, thus producing a light transmission effect.  Based on this research result, a company finally succeeded in replicating a light-transmitting copper mirror through repeated trials and was able to mass-produce it.  " Zuoshan listened to the explanation and said: "So that's what happened, but since we have been able to produce finished products, why haven't we seen this kind of mirror on the market?  " Lao Wu said with a smile: "People are often most interested in unknown things. Now that the production principle of this kind of light-transmitting mirror is known, everyone's interest has been greatly reduced. Therefore, even if it is made, apart from just  Apart from just looking at it, how many people will buy it?  " After Zuo Shan heard this, he thought that this was indeed the truth: "That means that Master Chu's light-transmitting mirror is not worth much?  " Lao Wu laughed and said: "This is an antique. What are the antiques selling?  Things are rare and valuable. There are very few Western Han Dynasty perspective lenses like this, and they are so well preserved. Not only are they not worthless, but they are worth a lot of money.  " Hearing this, Zuo Shan seemed a little embarrassed. He felt that he had been stupid and forgot that this light-transmitting mirror was an antique first. Just like the porcelain on the market now, the craftsmanship is exactly the same as that of ancient times.  But just because of the background, the value can be said to be very different. Everyone happily discussed the topic of light-transmitting mirrors for a while, and then appreciated and discussed other achievements brought by Chu Chen. The afternoon passed like this.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­ It was June 7th in the blink of an eye. Since Hu Yong¡¯s hometown was in a rural area at the junction of Shanxi Province and Central Plains Province, he had to take a long bus ride after taking the train, which was not convenient at all.  Let's just drive there. It only takes seven or eight hours in total anyway. It's a popular self-driving tour. So, early in the morning on the 7th, Zuo Shan drove Chu Chen and Wu Ke and set off for Hu.  Yong¡¯s hometown. The journey was dusty. As soon as the car got off the expressway in the urban area where Hu Yong¡¯s hometown was, he saw Hu Yong standing on the side of the road. Everyone exchanged greetings and Chu Chen said with a smile.  You are almost going to be a groom, why are you here here? Don¡¯t you have other things to do at home?  Hu Yong chuckled and said, "My parents and brother are at home. I have something to be busy with."  Hearing this, Zuo Shan smiled and said, "Don't you need to take care of my brothers and sisters?"  " Hu Yong waved his hand: "Hey, at home I just talk to her, watch TV and so on, so there is nothing to be busy with.  If I hadn't insisted on exercising every day, I would have gained at least ten pounds during this period of time.  Zuo Shan teased: "That's good. When we get back to Beijing, we will have a good discussion."  " Hu Yong smiled bitterly and said: "Captain, I didn't expect you to take advantage of the situation!  Zuo Shan laughed and said: "Finally, I have an opportunity to add insult to injury. Of course I have to seize it" Everyone was talking and laughing, and the car soon left the city and came to a road leading to Hu Yong's hometown.  It was not a good road. Because Hu Yong¡¯s hometown was relatively remote and many people went out to work, there were almost no pedestrians along the way. Zuoshan, who was sitting in front of us, suddenly let out a sigh: ¡°Ahead.  Someone was waving to us not far away.  " Chu Chen quickly looked forward and found a jeep parked on the roadside. A man in his thirties or forties was waving to their car and shouting something, but it was too far to hear.  Clearly, he probably just wanted them to help. Wu Ke asked with some confusion: "Did the car break down or something?"  Why didn't he call?  Last time I looked online, there were road bandits pretending to be like this. When someone actually stopped, they fell into their trap. Could this person be a road bandit?  " Hu Yong shook his head and said: "This man is from our village, his name is Hu Huqing. He went out to work a few years ago to make money and became a boss. He should not be a road bandit.  Brother Chu, how about we stop and ask?  ¡± Hu Yong said this because he is a skilled man with a heavy responsibility. Except for Wu Ke, a weak woman, everyone else in the car is a master. What¡¯s more, there is a master like Chu Chen, plus there are guns, even if he is really a car bandit,  ¡°Then stop and ask.  "Chu Chen nodded in agreement. "Hu Qing was very excited when he saw Chu Chen's car stopped. He quickly ran to the car, patted the car window, and said eagerly: "Friend, help me, I encountered a car robber."  , my cell phone and everything else were taken away by those beasts. Could you please help me call the police?  " Hu Yong pressed down the car window and asked: "Brother Ziqing, are you okay?  ¡± Hu Huqing saw that the driver was Hu Yong (just now with Zuo??changed), he couldn't help but was stunned, and after a while, he suddenly said: "It's Xiaoyong, hey! I'm fine, but your sister-in-law was scared so much, she's going to feel uncomfortable! It's also out of the blue.  If she doesn¡¯t have a store, I¡¯ll just carry her to the hospital.¡± After hearing this, Chu Chen said, ¡°Brother, I know some medical skills, why don¡¯t I come and take a look?¡±  Regardless of Chu Chen's medical skills, he hurriedly invited Chu Chen to come for diagnosis and treatment as if he saw a life-saving straw.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
