Chapter 611, Eastern Morning Star Wreckage Exhibition
The Beijing Museum’s opening exhibition of the year is “The Story of a Ship Across Time and Space: A Special Exhibition of the Wreckage of the Eastern Morning Star”.
Not only is it the first time in the world that part of the wreckage of the Oriental Morning Star and the salvaged treasures are exhibited, but the legendary prosperity of this extremely luxurious "palace on the sea" is reproduced through holographic projection, VR interaction, intelligent AI follow-up explanations, 3D printing and other technologies.
This cruise ship, which was once known as the safest in the world, was the target of a brutal hijacking incident, and the control tower only received a series of distress signals.
When the rescue ship set out to search, a tsunami that should not have happened occurred. Thousands of people on the ship, including the captain, disappeared, and all the evidence was gone.
This incident is known as the "Eastern Morning Star Tragedy". In recent years, many literary and artistic works adapted from this incident have been published, and there have also been many analyses that speculate from various aspects such as geological basins, power structures, prehistoric prophecies, conspiracy theories and even numerology.
But the tsunami that shouldn't have happened destroyed all the evidence, so everything can only be considered speculation.
This exhibition is a great pleasure for oceanography enthusiasts, mystery lovers, cruise ship enthusiasts and adventure history enthusiasts.
Online ticket sales are only available for reservations seven days in advance.
Adults are 80 yuan, students and teachers are half price, and you can collect 7 unique stamps on site to redeem related cultural and creative products for free.
The exhibition runs for two weeks (closed on Mondays), and tickets for the first week sold out within an hour of going on sale.
On the first day of the museum's opening, there was already a huge queue of people outside before it was time to enter.
When Luo Zhenxuan and Kong Xiyan first arrived at the museum, they looked at the crowds with a subtle expression: "How long will the line last? We're here pretty early, aren't we?"
The museum's normal opening time is 9 am, and it's not even 8 am yet.
"Put it on, I'll take you through the employee passage." Kong Xiyan handed a work ID to Luo Zhenxuan.
"Is this the preferential treatment for the families of internal staff?" Luo Zhenxuan took the work ID and put it on.
"You're so talkative." Kong Xiyan rolled her eyes at him amusedly. They smiled at each other and were about to go in when they heard a male voice coming from behind them.
"Xiyan, you're here!"
Kong Xiyan and Luo Zhenxuan looked back and saw Meng Xichao, dressed in formal attire, walking towards them. Beside him were two rows of security personnel. He turned around and said to the people behind him, "Everyone, get busy."
"Yes!" Everyone responded and then went back to their respective jobs.
Meng Xichao walked up to Kong Xiyan with a smile on his face: "I knew you would come."
"Is there something?" Kong Xiyan looked at him.
"Are you still mad at me?" Meng Xichao said with a hint of helplessness, "I admit, I shouldn't have called you a monster last time, but you beat me up like that, and Kong Yizhuo even blew up my house. How about we call it even, okay?"
"Pfft." Luo Zhenxuan couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard the sound.
"Mr. Luo is here too." Meng Xi glanced indifferently at Luo Zhenxuan who was standing aside. "I heard that Mr. Luo passed away. May I offer my condolences?"
"It's not that sad." Luo Zhenxuan curled the corners of his lips and his eyes fell on Meng Xichao's face: "I haven't thanked Mr. Meng yet."
He had already investigated, and although the evidence had been cleaned up very thoroughly, he could still infer that the deaths of Luo Qingchen and Du Qing were related to Meng Xichao.
"What does Mr. Luo want to thank me for?" Meng Xi raised his eyebrows.
Seeing Meng Xichao pretending to be ignorant, Luo Zhenxuan did not expose his mistake. He just smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Meng, for playing with Kong Yizhuo. If it weren't for Mr. Meng's heroic sacrifice, who would have been the one to be blown up?"
"!" The corner of Meng Xichao's mouth twitched, and a swear word circled around his lips, but was suppressed by his good qualities.
What did he say? This Luo Zhenxuan is so annoying!
"Mr. Meng, if everything is alright, let's go in first." Luo Zhenxuan coughed lightly and put his arm around Kong Xiyan's shoulders and walked around Meng Xi and walked inside. As he walked, he said, "Xiyan, don't play with him. If he gets blown up again, it will be easy for you to get hurt."
"Okay." Kong Xiyan smiled and followed Luo Zhenxuan to the staff passage.
Meng Xi turned his head to look at Luo Zhenxuan's back, narrowing his eyes dangerously. When he saw Teacher Su Yao's photo that year, he knew that this kid was really annoying!
On this side, Luo Zhenxuan and Kong Xiyan went straight to the exhibition hall of the Eastern Morning Star after entering the museum.
"Although I've known for a long time that the application of holographic projection is already very advanced, it's still shocking to see it this way." Luo Zhenxuan looked around: "It really is an immersive experience."
"Indeed." Kong Xiyan stretched out her hand and felt it for a while. "The person who debugged this is an expert. Let's go back and find out which company they are from and poach this technical team."
"Good idea." Luo Zhenxuan nodded in agreement.
"Please be merciful and spare us, a small family." A voice came from behind the sign.
Kong Xiyan and Luo Zhenxuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man with a tired face walking out.
The man was about 1.78 meters tall, with a thin and well-proportioned body. His face showed the fatigue of not having had a good sleep. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. His face was handsome and elegant, with a small red mole at the corner of his right eye. The first impression he gave people was: if he could get a good night's sleep, he would be a radiant and handsome man.
"Ahem." The man coughed lightly, smiled apologetically at Kong Xiyan and Luo Zhenxuan, and said, "I hope I didn't scare you. My last name is Ye. I'm the team leader in charge of this holographic projection project and the owner of this small company. I'm sorry, I don't have my business card with me right now."
"It's okay." Kong Xiyan and Luo Zhenxuan looked at each other and blinked. It was quite embarrassing that the boss heard that Cricket was trying to poach people from the team.
"Thank you for your interest in our project." Boss Ye took out his phone and said, "If it's convenient, you can add me on WeChat. If you're interested in future collaborations, you can contact me directly."
Forget about poaching, it's not easy for his startup to retain technical talent.
"Okay." Kong Xiyan and Luo Zhenxuan immediately took out their phones and added Boss Ye's WeChat: "Mr. Ye, what are you busy with here?"
"The museum is about to open, so I'm here to do some final adjustments." Boss Ye explained, looking around with a pleased smile on his face. "We're a bit rushed this time, and we're indeed short-handed, but looking at the results now, I'm quite satisfied.
I think you all know that the current economic situation is uncertain and it is difficult for small companies to survive.
It was not easy to get this project in the first place, and I worked hard so that I would have more confidence when discussing cooperation in the future."
"I understand." Luo Zhenxuan nodded: "I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"That's great." Boss Ye smiled brightly, and then his eyes blurred and he almost fainted. Fortunately, Luo Zhenxuan came forward to help him.
