Chapter 1678 The Goddess’s Secret Word (Twenty-three)

There are two types of colors that human eyes see: first, visible light; second, invisible light.

The ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet sterilizer used in the canteen are not really purple. The purpose of emitting visible light is to let people know that it is working, so that no one will take pictures of it because it does not light up.

Even if it is really broken, as long as people see that the sterilizer is still emitting "purple light", they will not suspect that it is not working.

Vision is the main source of human information. What should a person who used to be able to see suddenly become blind?

Legend has it that Poseidon, the god of the sea, had a son named Orion. He was a born hunter, but he didn't like living in the water. Poseidon liked his son very much, so he gave Orion a magical ability. He could swim in the water.

He walked on the sea like flying, but Orion was too arrogant. He boasted that no animal was his opponent at this time, so Hera sent poisonous scorpions to sneak attack him and poisoned him to death. When Hera saw that Scorpio had completed its mission,

It ascended to heaven and became the constellation Scorpio.

If a hunter loses his sight, how can he still hunt?

The scorpion has eight eyes, one pair on the back, and three pairs of side eyes on both sides of the head. However, although it has many eyes, its vision is very poor, basically similar to a blind man. But even if the eyes are blindfolded, they can still accurately detect

Attack prey.

In fact, this experiment is completely unnecessary, because scorpions themselves live in darkness. Ultraviolet rays appear with sunlight and moonlight, just like Scorpio and Orion, which never meet. It was not until humans invented ultraviolet lamps that people discovered

Scorpions actually fluoresce under ultraviolet light.

The science of color was also discovered earlier than humans. First, Isaac Newton discovered through a prism that white light is formed by mixing light of different colors.

Thomas Young proposed the concept of RGB three primary colors in 1802. In 1810, German romantic painter Philip Otto Jung proposed a spherical 3D color model. This hue is based on black and white. In 1861, Maxwell

Based on his knowledge of the three primary colors, he produced the world's first color photo, and his understanding and exploration of the three primary color mixing theories laid the foundation of modern colorimetry.

There is an idiom in China "half a catty and eight taels". This word is used to metaphorically compare the same, half a catty is eight taels. Before the 20th century, ancient Chinese weighing instruments, also known as scales, all used the hexadecimal system, which means that one digit of an ancient scale

Jin is 16 Liang, and 16 Liang represents the 16 stars, which are composed of the Big Dipper, the Southern Dipper and the three stars of Fortune, Luxu and Shou.

In the clear winter night sky, as long as you look up, you can see three stars evenly arranged in a straight line. Not only are they equidistant, but they also shine with blue light. These three stars are the "belt" of Orion.

Every year during the Chinese Lunar New Year, the three stars in the constellation Orion will be located due south. When people congratulate the New Year, they will say, "Three stars shine high, good luck arrives." These three stars refer to the three stars on Orion's belt. These three stars are known by the east.

People think it will bring good luck, but its meaning has nothing to do with the hunter who died of arrogance because of the scorpion's tail.

Although the Chinese scale is not based on the same principle as the Libra scale, it is still a scale, and it is also an Eastern scale. The patron saint of Scorpio is Hades, the king of Pluto, plus the "feather" that aerodynamics means, that oval shape

The hall constitutes a classic scene that appears in Egyptian tomb murals - Anubis calls the heart. Whoever's heart is heavier than a feather is not a question of going to hell, but being eaten directly by monsters. In order to escape the judgment of the Egyptians

He tried his best, not only inventing various amulets, but also the Book of the Dead that taught the newly deceased how to pass through the underworld.

For the 16 cities in the oval hall, if "BJ" represents "a pound", then the remaining 15 cities are grouped into groups of five for every three.

Paris was between Jerusalem and Byzantium, Florence between Washington and Athens, Berlin between Nineveh and Alexandria, London between Babylon and Alexandria, and so on.

Byzantium not only represents the Eastern Roman Empire, but also the struggle between theocratic and secular powers, as well as Venice, which is eager for independence and even involves framing the suzerain state. Next to Byzantium is Washington, the capital of the United States after independence.

Washington, Florence, Athens, and then Nineveh. Nineveh was once the capital of Assyria. It was once bustling and one of the most prosperous cities in the world, but later it was destroyed by the Neo-Babylonian Kingdom. In 1843 it was archaeologically

Unearthed, France in 1864 should have known about the existence of the ancient city of Nineveh.

The discovery of the ancient city of Nineveh proves the authenticity of the records in the Bible. Jonah who was swallowed by the big fish went to Nineveh to preach. Under the rose line stone tablet was a sentence from the Book of Job in the Bible: You

You can only go here, not beyond.

Human beings are creating a brand new world on their own. This world was not originally designed by the Creator for human beings, but was designed by human beings themselves. In order to explore the mysteries, human beings did not stop listening to those words and opened the doors to forbidden areas.

In order to depict the human body more accurately during the Renaissance, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci dissected the human body despite the church's ban. Padua even established an anatomical opera house to dissect corpses of unknown origin in the form of performances.

Michelangelo Merisi de Caravaggio was a famous painter in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. His artistic career began after the death of the masters of the High Renaissance. Caravaggioism focused on realism, but

Unlike photos, this style of painting once had a major influence on Europe, including Rembrandt, Joseph White, etc., who all used light and dark tones to create a strong contrast between light and darkness.

Caravaggio had a bad temper, even more violent than Michelangelo, the source of his name. He spent almost half a month painting and half a month going to court. He was cynical and even illegally carried weapons.

In the art thought circle of the 17th century, Caravaggio was a lonely madman, but he still had a group of enthusiastic followers. The stage performance style of "living painting" also began at that time, because he strived to make the people in the painting

, the reality of objects and nature must be restored, which conflicts with the Impressionism that emerged in France in the mid-to-late 19th century.

The painting styles of Van Gogh, Monet and others were also considered deviant during the period when classicism was prevalent. Color cards are the reflection of colors existing in nature on a certain material. It may be cloth, paper, or the artist's Eye.

The color segmentation method is a distinctive feature of Impressionism. If lines appeal to the soul, then color appeals to feelings. The color revolution focuses on the colors that people see and feel, and changes painting from religious and classical laws. Liberation is like a person who has just woken up from sleep and opens his eyes. The scenery he sees is hazy at first and then gradually becomes clear, or it is like the colorful world that a blind person sees after regaining his sight.

Many works of the Impressionists do not have clear outlines like Caravaggio. Although both are anti-academic, they are natural enemies. The application of color by the Impressionists is no longer simply imitating nature, but also reflects the subjective feelings of the painter. The color of the painter's brush strokes is not only the color that stays on the retina, but also the color of his soul.

Through physiological anatomy, people in the 20th century confirmed the existence of three different types of cones in the eye, which confirmed Thomas Young's hypothesis.

At this time, the colors that humans see are classified again. One is the color emitted by luminous bodies, such as display screens, and the other is the reflected light from magazines, newspapers and other printed matter. The light emitted by televisions and movies is additive color light, three primary colors. It is the red, blue, and green RGB mode proposed by Thomas Young. The printed matter is subtractive color light. The three primary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow.

When humans describe a color, they often use dark red, light red, dark green, light green, rose red, and olive green to describe it. Although it can also convey some color information, it is not accurate and rigorous and requires a color system to express it.

For red-green color blindness, the world they see is different from what normal people see, and the colors displayed on different monitors are also different. In a system, a color can be looked up like a dictionary.

Hexadecimal codes have rules to follow, and hexadecimal color codes also have rules to follow. For example, royal blue and ocher are colors that have been defined by art. You can first find those colors according to the RGB color rules. Then compare it with the existing defined color cards. The color number 65.205.335 is royal blue, and the color number 160.82.45 is the earth color from Siena.

Those controversial and undefined colors such as cyan and aqua, what color is cyan? What color is aqua? Although they give people different feelings in the form of literary expression, but in The codes are consistent, both are 0.255.255.

The human eye can sometimes be deceived, and a color produces different feelings in different environments.

Cyan is the sky and robin's eggs, and aqua is clear and mineral-rich lakes. However, in RGB mode, this vague and easily distorted look and feel is accurately defined through numbers, and all the poetic romance is gone and becomes boring. Boring.

The most annoying thing in school is the top student who likes to be a teacher but is not a teacher himself. Hermione Granger is like this, always saying "You are wrong, you should do this!". In fact, most people don't like to be taught this way.

Others correct their own mistakes, and sometimes they make mistakes, and occasionally wonderful little accidents happen, and that "she knows everything" look is very annoying to boys.

Arithmetic divination is different from reading crystal balls, tea leaves or palmistry, but is based on a series of rules and rigorous mathematical operations.

In addition to electronic computers, humans have actually invented machine computers. In 1642, the 19-year-old French mathematician Blaise Pascal invented a decimal computer to reduce the calculation burden of his father, a tax collector.

.

The principle of this machine is complex, but it is very simple to copy. It has only been developed for a few months, but counterfeit products have already appeared on the streets of Rouen. However, the clockmaker has no knowledge of geometry and mechanics. It looks real but cannot be used.

The act of plagiarism not only deeply insulted him, but also destroyed people's confidence in computers. Fortunately, the French justice at the time knew about the patent protection system. This was done a century ago by Florentine and Venetian craftsmen to protect their rights from being infringed upon.

and developed institutional guarantees.

The Chancellor liked Pascal's machine very much, and he promised to give his new invention patent protection under the law. With this promise, Pascal continued to develop the computer.

Perhaps Pascal's mechanical computer was not as popular as electronic computers, but he promoted the improvement of the modern patent system.

Siena was originally a settlement of the Etruscans and became increasingly prosperous due to its location on an important road. As a prosperous Italian city-state, Siena and other city-states do similar business. The main industry is the wool trade.

and loan business, Siena at this time was managed by the bishop. With the rise of the emerging nobility, the bishop was forced to gradually give this group more say. Finally in 1167, Siena announced its separation from the bishop.

Control gained independence and had a written constitution in 1179.

In the Middle Ages, the Pope and the Holy Roman Empire were engaged in a power struggle. Italian city-states and republics took sides one after another, divided into the Guelphs who supported the Pope and the Ghibellines who supported the emperor. In fact, during the Renaissance

For more than two hundred years, with the changes of emperors and popes, the various political formations in Italy were constantly changing.

In 1260, Florence, which supported the pope, sent 33,000 troops to attack Siena, which supported the emperor. After hearing the news, the entire city of Siena enshrined the statue of the Virgin Mary. General Lucari wore a halter around his neck and walked barefoot.

To the cathedral, followed by all the residents of Siena; all the priests in the city stood in the cathedral. Lucari embraced the bishop and formally handed over the fate of the city to the Virgin.

The ancient Greeks believed that only those who believed in gods were civilized people. Socrates persuaded young people not to believe in gods, and was later sentenced to death. At that time, voting was adopted, and the minority obeyed the majority. After voting, people regretted it.

But the gods who had been worshiped by the Greeks, and who had even been voted to death by humans to defend them, were later overthrown.

The Virgin is a woman, representing chastity and a model for all women. She is not the pagan goddesses such as Isis and Aphrodite who committed original sin. People revere maternal love, and the church emphasizes the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin.

Eve, who is most compared to Mary, is the embodiment of original sin. She listened to the temptation of the snake and ate the forbidden fruit.

Worshiping the Virgin is sinless, but the worship of the Virgin at that time was mainly a religious ceremony. It may be the first time to use the Virgin to protect Siena during the war.

With the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the outcome of this life-and-death war for Siena was that 20,000 Siena soldiers annihilated at least half of the Florentine soldiers. From then on, Siena became a city republic with autonomy and could compete with Florence.

Relatively equal exchanges.

During this period, both Siena and Florence produced their own tempera painting schools, both of which produced excellent works. Among them, the most typical feature of the Siena school is that it has a complete golden background. This painting style is very influenced by the Byzantine style.

, the character style is full of soft curves.

However, in 1348, the Black Death swept across Europe, and Siena also experienced a heavy blow. Subsequently, with the war with Florence and the continuous influx of bright stars into Florence, this glittering painting school also declined along with the city.

Already.

In 1559 Siena became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany under the rule of the Medici family. But this proud, persistent, conservative city did not give up its resistance after centuries of fierce struggle with Florence. After the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy, Siena

Na became the first city to break away from the Principality of Tuscany, and also indirectly broke away from the rule of Florence.

Ancient people did not have modern chemistry and could make dyes of so many colors, and the dyes had to be stable enough not to change color over time.

This kind of ocher from Siena is very cheap in paints. After Rembrandt went bankrupt, he often used it to paint, including the painting "Return of the Prodigal Son".

Is the new world created by humans based on the laws discovered by humans really so suitable for humans to survive?

When everything goes well, no one will think about this problem. Just like the prodigal son who divided the family property and indulged in pleasure outside, he will only think about it when he uses up the last word in his body and becomes a pig slave.

I think of my father and the good things about my family.

Maybe his father will forgive him, but what about his eldest brother?

Maybe there is a person who is still studying hard in the Oval Hall late at night. When he raises his head and looks at the dome illuminated by candlelight, what does he see?

Sometimes prophecies are not only disbelieved by people before they come true, but also by later generations who look back at history.

Can anyone really see the future? If he saw the future, why not change those tragic endings?
