Chapter 470 A sensation caused by a photo

Half an hour later, the craftsmen who had already prepared had already developed and washed the film, dried it, and sent the finished photos into the main hall.

"Quick, bring me a mirror!"

Ying Zheng looked at the lifelike self in the photo with a look of joy on his face, and greeted him repeatedly.

After Zhang Han and others came in carrying a glass mirror, Ying Zheng repeatedly gestured at himself and the photo in the mirror for a long time before reluctantly stopping.

"It looks like it, it looks so similar!"

"If this is published in a newspaper, all the people in Daqin will be able to see His Majesty's majestic figure."

Meng Yi and others also came over and praised him.

"This photo is just a little small. If it could be bigger, it would be perfect."

Ying Zheng said with an expression that was still unfinished.

"It's simple. As long as the film is clear enough, it can be developed into a life-size photo. I will have it processed right away and it will be sent to my father soon."

Ying Yu smiled and said, "Don't be disappointed, everyone. Once there are more cameras and films, the Engineering Academy will arrange for people to come over and take a few work photos for everyone in the court."

"Then I will thank His Highness the Crown Prince in advance."

Meng Yi and others' faces were a little more smiling.

Isn’t it that everyone is working so hard to gain a good reputation?

Nowadays, there are such good means, so naturally you will not miss it.

"Your Highness, how much is this camera worth? Will it be sold on the market?"

Neisteng's eyes were full of light.

Such a novel gadget can record images so clearly and accurately. Even ministers like them are amazed and amazed by this magical skill. If it can be promoted to the market, it will definitely cause a big sensation.

Those rich families usually spend a lot of money to hire painters. If they can see the benefits of this photo, they will definitely take one for themselves at any cost.

"Although this camera looks like a small box, it requires extremely high technology."

"Whether it is the photosensitive lens, the film for recording, or the liquid for developing and developing, it can only be produced manually in the laboratory at present, and large-scale manufacturing will take time."

Therefore, in the short term, priority will be given to the exploration and surveying department and other related departments. It will take some time before it can be launched in large quantities.

Ying Yu introduced with a smile: "Also, this camera is still a bit too big. After it is truly perfected, it will be smaller and lighter, and it will be no problem to put it directly in your pocket."

"Such a good thing should be carefully crafted and further improved."

"But this one you brought, please keep it in the palace for me to study!"

Ying Zheng laughed and said.

"If Father likes it, I can give it to you."

"My son, I still have a few rolls of film here, and I will give them to my father as well. They are enough for you to take hundreds of pictures."

"However, I will take this negative away and give it to the newspaper office to develop a picture and print it on the Daqin Daily so that the people of Daqin can accurately understand the image of my father."

Ying Yu replied with a smile.

The camera after system optimization is already a relatively advanced version, it can be called a semi-point-and-shoot camera, and it is not complicated to use.

"The prince is interested."

The smile on Ying Zheng's face suddenly grew stronger.

...

The next morning, the entire Xianyang City was immediately shaken.

In restaurants and tea shops, people gathered together in twos and threes, looking at the latest issue of "Da Qin Daily" and exclaiming in surprise.

"Is this a portrait of His Majesty? It's so lifelike, it's like the work of ghosts and gods!"

"When I attended the New Year's Eve event last time, I saw His Majesty's dragon face from a distance, and it was indeed exactly the same as this portrait."

"How on earth is this done?"

“You can’t get this effect no matter how you paint, right?”

"Isn't it the magic of taking photos that His Highness the Crown Prince used?"

People started speculating one after another, and soon the conversation became more and more outrageous.

These days, everyone is accustomed to linking extraordinary matters with ghosts and gods. If this was not publicly published in newspapers and involved Ying Zheng, I am afraid that some people would say that this is some evil spirit's soul-catching technique.

"You are all behind the times. This is not a miracle, but a new technology invented by His Royal Highness."

"Everyone has looked in the mirror. The image inside is exactly the same as himself. This new technology uses this principle to transfer the image you see to a special material and then develop it again. , it’s just a picture like this in the newspaper.”

"This thing is originally a mirror image of yourself, so it is naturally more accurate than any other painter."

"It is said that when this technology becomes more mature, there will be photo studios open to us in Xianyang New City. We only need to spend a small amount of money to take a few photos of ourselves."

A young man dressed as a Royal College student came in and introduced everyone in detail.

"This college student is indeed different. He is much more knowledgeable than me."

"Of course, here are the best students selected from all the prefectures and counties in our country. Every one of them is a genius, and they often have the opportunity to receive personal guidance from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty."

"I have a nephew who studies at the Royal Academy of Sciences. They often work with the Daqin Academy of Sciences and Engineering to do research and development. These are some amazing things."

"This technology can achieve so many miracles that only immortals and gods can do in legends. There is no doubt that this technology is the magic of immortals and gods."

"It's just that from now on, I don't need to believe in immortals and gods. I just need to believe in His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty."

"His Royal Highness is the living immortal god, and the only immortal god!"

"That's not true. In the past, I prayed to gods and worshiped immortals for so long, but I never saw those immortals appearing to save those in distress. They all only existed in stories."

"Only His Highness has always been thinking about common people like us, and what is at heart is the lives of common people like us."

"Everyone can live a good life now because of His Highness' kindness."

"Now, even the magic of taking pictures has been invented by His Highness.

"When the time comes, I will definitely ask for a photo of His Highness and take it home to worship him."

"Yes, together!"

Immediately there was a chorus of agreement from the crowd.

The Royal College student who was conducting science popularization for everyone couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

But his smile soon returned.

After all, literacy education in the Qin Dynasty had just started a long time ago. It was good for the people to be able to read newspapers. It was impossible for them to have an accurate concept of technology.

In fact, even they, who are regarded by everyone as the most outstanding genius students in the Qin Dynasty, were dumbfounded and shocked at the beginning by the various inventions proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince?
