Next, Li Daoyuan chose to stay in Dunhuang Grottoes to visit, while the remaining players continued their journey.
As a senior travel enthusiast, Li Daoyuan was completely excited when he saw the majestic Mogao Grottoes in the "game".
You must know that although it is the mid-Tang Dynasty, the most prosperous period of Mogao Grottoes was the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
By the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty lost the Silk Road, Dunhuang gradually declined, and no new grottoes were ever excavated.
Li Daoyuan found a temple and after offering sesame oil money, he successfully obtained a Zen room for himself, where he could also have vegetarian meals with these monks every day.
Li Daoyuan couldn't wait to visit the Mogao Grottoes.
By the way, you can also record videos.
Li Daoyuan quickly turned on the video function and recorded his visit and browsing process.
After this video was posted online, Li Daoyuan continued to visit the Mogao Grottoes in the game, but he did not expect what kind of storm these videos would cause on the Internet.
Ever since the last time Yu Xiaoxiao's Lady Gongsun's Sword Dance became popular on the Internet, the game Datang Fengyun has become a hot topic on the Internet.
As more players uploaded game videos, doubts on the Internet gradually decreased.
Even if it is false propaganda, the funds for this false propaganda are too sufficient!
If these videos, which have the same quality as live-action movies, are really live-action CG produced for game promotion, the cost would be too high.
Netizens began to believe that the game Datang Fengyun really existed, and their concerns immediately became unprecedentedly consistent.
When will this game be released for public testing?
More than a hundred game test slots are given out every time. Who are you trying to fool?
A game test spot was also sold at a sky-high price on the Internet, causing netizens to criticize "Feng Yun of the Tang Dynasty" as hunger marketing.
Li Yan feels bitter about these things. I also want to summon millions of players to conquer the world at once, but I don’t have any luck!
The voices criticizing game companies on the Internet are gradually getting louder, but Li Yan doesn't pay attention to these trolls. Now that Datang Fengyun is so popular, he doesn't have to worry about recruiting players.
Those cloud players who do not have game accounts have learned about the entire Guazhou City through videos of real players.
Some professional cloud players are even more familiar with the locations of stores in Guazhou City than real players.
However, it has been around for a long time, and the popularity has gradually become normal. After all, this is just a game with a few hundred people in internal testing.
But after Li Daoyuan's "Exploring the Mogao Grottoes" was uploaded, it once again aroused heated discussions across the Internet.
A well-known university, Department of History.
The old professor with thick glasses and white hair looked at the graduate thesis and felt very satisfied.
Zhang Duanyang is an expert in Dunhuang studies. As the name suggests, Dunhuang studies are the study of the Dunhuang Grottoes.
Dunhuang, also known as Shazhou, was an important city in the Western Regions during the Sui and Tang Dynasties and a trading center on the Silk Road.
A large number of precious historical materials and artistic treasures are sealed in the Dunhuang Grottoes.
It's a pity that it was foreigners who opened the treasure house of Dunhuang.
In the late Qing Dynasty, foreign scholars plundered a large number of manuscripts unearthed from Dunhuang, and Dunhuang studies were established in the West.
Western scholars established a discipline to study Chinese history based on materials stolen from China.
This sounds very ironic, but it is also the helpless reality of that humiliating era.
However, Dunhuang studies are of great significance to the study of Sui and Tang history, as well as the entire history of East and Central Asia. Therefore, domestic Dunhuang studies are also developing continuously and have begun to catch up with foreign countries.
Zhang Duanyang always laments that students today are much happier than they were then.
In that era of development, domestic scholars studying Dunhuang studies had to go to foreign museums to find first-hand information.
These foreign museums contain materials plundered from Dunhuang, but if domestic scholars want to study them, they have to apply for them and spend a lot of money before they can see them.
Every time a foreign museum has an exhibition of Dunhuang cultural relics, the university has to collect air tickets and funds to send a researcher to the foreign country, and then use a camera to take photos of the cultural relics one by one.
Nowadays, the country is prosperous, science and technology have advanced, many documents can be directly checked online, and domestic Dunhuang studies have finally made great progress.
However, this era of prosperous science and technology also makes people more impetuous. The graduate students led by Zhang Duanyang are all lying down and waiting to die. Zhang Duanyang is a serious and responsible professor. At this moment, he is grading students for graduation.
Thesis proposal report.
After reading the reports from the two students, Zhang Duanyang's hypotension was completely cured.
After writing his revision comments, Zhang Duanyang opened another student's report.
"Using Computer Technology to Recreate the Mogao Grottoes of the Tang Dynasty"
Gee, this topic is quite big, and the angle is good, but is this a thesis that he can write for his master's degree?
It's impossible. A wise disciple is like a master. Zhang Duanyang knows his disciples very well. If they had this ability, they wouldn't come to the history department to eat and wait to die.
It seems that he has also been blackmailed.
It's not important. Zhang Duanyang opened the paper and was stunned.
A photo of the Mogao Grottoes appeared in the paper. Wait, this is not a photo of the Mogao Grottoes.
Zhang Duanyang has been to the Mogao Grottoes countless times, and he can remember what the Mogao Grottoes look like in his dreams.
But the location of the mountain, the cave, and these temples are the same as the Mogao Grottoes?
Nowadays, these mountain temples have been abandoned, leaving only ruins and ruins. Why are they still brand new in this photo?
When I think of the title of the paper, Mogao Grottoes during the Tang Dynasty, is this photo generated by a computer?
This is quite realistic. These grottoes were still being excavated during the Tang Dynasty. You can see the wooden frames outside the grottoes.
Attentive.
Zhang Duanyang nodded and continued to read.
Seeing more and more pictures, Zhang Duanyang became uneasy. The murals in the pictures had not faded and were still bright.
There is no defect in the Buddha statue, and it is magnificent and magnificent.
Is the restoration good? And the color matching of this mural is restored to a high degree? How is this done?
As he continued to read, Zhang Duanyang became even more excited.
The pictures in the paper create a scene of the Dunhuang Grottoes in the Tang Dynasty, as if this student took the photos with a camera in that era!
Is this workload something that rebels like myself can accomplish?
Could it be plagiarism?
Zhang Duanyang quickly turned to the end and saw that there was only one column for cited documents.
"Thank you to the host of b.com - Li Daoyuan Travels Around the World's video for supporting this thesis. I have obtained the authorization from 'Li Daoyuan Travels Around the World' for this thesis."
What the hell is this reference to? Is this co-authored paper citing a video from a netizen?
