The man scoffed, "What do you care? It's not like I'm asking you to go on an archaeological expedition."
"What was Loulan like in history? Who knows?"
Hua Xia: "Yeah, who knows? I don't have the ability to travel through time, so what would you want me to do here?"
"What task could possibly be indispensable to me?"
The man snorted coldly: "I brought you here to see this restored Loulan City, so you'd have a better understanding of the situation."
"Recently, someone from the desert border town reported that after a massive sandstorm, it snowed in the desert, flooded, and some strange plants grew. According to historical records, these may be flowers unique to the Loulan Dynasty, called 'Loulan,' a type of orchid."
"Many historical records mention that if you get lost in the desert and find the Loulan flower, you can reach the city of Loulan."
"So, when this flower appeared in the area, quite a few people did go into the desert to look for it."
"It is said that a place suspected to be ruins has been discovered."
Hua Xia was so engrossed in listening that he forgot to even eat his chicken feet: "Really?"
The audience was shocked. Was that really the case?
Liu Yun stated that in this parallel universe, there is also a mysteriously vanished civilization called Loulan.
However, much of the information is different from that on Earth.
I don't know if Loulan in this world disappeared too completely, because no ruins have been found to this day, but some historical documents from various countries have clear records of this country.
It was also an important place on the Silk Road, and many people have probably heard of it and have visited it, so there are many historical records about it.
However, since the Loulan Dynasty mysteriously disappeared overnight, no ruins have been found to this day.
Not to mention cultural relics and sites suitable for archaeological excavation.
Loulan has been mentioned in many films, television series, and literary works, but it remains shrouded in mystery.
In light of this, Liu Yun also used her imagination to have A Qi collect information about Loulan in this world, and then specially wrote a story for Loulan.
It focuses on the final days of the Loulan Dynasty before its demise, creating a more vivid and realistic portrayal of the dynasty.
As for whether it's true or not, who knows?
In any case, there is no evidence to support this claim.
At the beginning of the film, she added those words: "This film is for entertainment purposes only. The content is fictional. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental."
The naked-eye 3D effect makes the text appear huge in front of everyone, so it's impossible not to see it. Whether you pay attention to it or not is up to you.
The audience was immediately interested as soon as the story began.
Those who don't know about it find it fascinating, while those who know a little about it know how mysterious Loulan is.
In previous works, at most a couple of sentences were mentioned, or a description was given, or some strange things were said to be from Loulan.
There has never been a work that specifically tells the story of the fall of Loulan.
The second part of Huaxia not only talks about this, but they even brought up the city of Loulan?
Judging from the enlarged version at the beginning, the Lego replica is probably really accurate.
At least initially... they really thought it was an ancient city.
The audience became more focused and fully absorbed in the story.
Many people initially had low expectations for the content, coming specifically for the glasses-free 3D experience. However, within just two minutes, they were completely engrossed in the story.
As for other ideas... I can't think about them for now.
The man glanced at China. "Interested?"
"Whether it's true or not, why don't you go and see for yourself? Anyway, you're the one who has to do this mission."
The Chinese were still captivated by the orchid called Loulan, finding it incredible. No matter the variety of orchid, they are all delicate flowers with extremely high environmental requirements. How could they survive in the desert and even serve as a guide for passersby?
"What kind of flower is it? Let me see it!"
The man seemed to have expected this, and without saying a word, he pulled out a stack of photos.
Huaxia picked it up and saw that it did indeed look like an orchid, but it was a double-petaled one. It could only be said that each layer of petals looked quite similar.
There are many photos, taken from various angles and distances.
The flowers are pale blue, standing out vividly against the yellow desert landscape.
"Can there be a large area like this?"
Suddenly I realized it's more precious than orchids, but not as expensive.
All I can say is that this flower... really exists; it's one of the desert plants that Liu Yun gave to the research institute.
It's amazing that it is indeed called Loulan.
It just so happened that it was used for the movie.
In the future, this flower will surely become a "famous" flower in the desert.
Most importantly, this flower is edible and is one of the foods found in the desert. It will definitely become one of the desert's specialties.
After learning about Liu Yun's approach, the research institutes accelerated their research and planting efforts. Now that she's made a name for herself, they need to get things moving quickly!
Liu Yun has created a desert economic plant, and we can't afford to have too much of it in short supply.
Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives hypes it up, they will definitely try to rip people off and make money off them.
Not only did Liu Yun disagree, but they also disagreed.
Nowadays, the resources of Yan Kingdom are all monopolized by certain people. When something new is finally produced, it must not be used as a bargaining chip for certain people. It must belong to the country.
At this moment, the audience was completely unaware, believing that the flower was also fictional.
Almost everyone thinks it looks pretty good!
Man: "So what if there's a large area of them? They're rare plants if they can grow in the desert."
"It's been gone for many years, so isn't it strange that it can grow back?"
Hua Xia: "That's strange, but isn't that the job of archaeologists and botanists? Why do I have to do something? I can't cross over into a different field, I don't have that ability."
The man laughed angrily: "Very good, you know your place."
As he spoke, he opened a drawer and took out a brocade box: "This is something I bought from an overseas auction a month ago."
The camera is great; it captures the box in detail, but it doesn't photograph what's inside.
So much so that the audience couldn't help but crane their necks to watch, just like the Chinese audience.
Fortunately, the camera seemed to understand everyone's thoughts and didn't keep them in suspense. When Huaxia saw it, the audience saw it too.
Inside was a blue jade pendant, about the size of a palm, whose shape and pattern were exactly the same as the Loulan flower.
At this moment, the blue jade still emits a faint fluorescence, not dazzling, but not negligible; anyone with eyes can see that it is glowing.
Hua Xia was surprised: "It looks like jade, but... how can it have such obvious light in broad daylight? No way, Director Shao, are you putting a light bulb on a plastic product and making it look high-tech?"
Director Shao choked, speechless.
He took several deep breaths before finally saying, "You're just using high-tech gadgets to trick me into doing missions?"
Hua Xia stared with innocent eyes and nodded.
Director Shao: "Am I stupid?"
Hua Xia smiled and said, "Yes, a little."
Director Shao hardened his fist. "Shut up. We saw it at the auction and thought it was related to the Loulan flower, maybe even the Loulan Dynasty, so we bought it back."
"I haven't been able to figure it out for a while. It was only when you came to my office last time that I suddenly realized that it glows every time you get close."
"Although I don't understand why, this task... is perfect for you."
"Take this jade and have it examined by the experts before they arrive to see what the problem is."
