Riding the wind of rebirth

Wang Guowei's splicing pioneered the splicing of oracle bones, which shows that splicing is very important. Many damaged and worn materials with very little information can double their value once they are spliced ​​together and become new archaeological evidence.

However, this task would never have been accomplished on a large scale if it had relied solely on Wang Guowei's luck, or on the manual labor of future scholars.

For example, just removing duplicates can take up endless energy.

Today, the original copies of many oracle bone archives have been lost, and only rubbings and photographs of the time remain.

For example, photos are actually reduced or enlarged according to a certain ratio. It is almost impossible for people to judge the margins with the naked eye and then determine which piece of oracle bone it can be spliced ​​with.

In addition, among the hundreds of thousands of pieces of oracle bones, a lot of the data was repeatedly recorded, photographed, and printed during the transportation process. These redundant information also brought great interference to the work of splicing the oracle bones.

However, these problems can be solved easily by computer technology. The edge recognition and splicing technology of computer graphics can make the oracle bone inscriptions more than double the existing data, directly pushing the research to a new peak.

These application directions are something that Hu Tianyu, An Chunjia, Hu Lidong and other science and engineering geeks could never imagine.

By using this technology to piece together the destroyed chamber of Wang Chuzhi's tomb and creating a visual image that could be presented to the American jury, China's legal claims in the case of the Heavenly King Statue won the approval of the vast majority of jurors. In addition to feeling the magic of technology, it was also a soul-stirring education. They learned how such a perfect statue of the Heavenly King was brutally destroyed and removed from Wang Chuzhi's tomb. Anyone with a conscience would feel heartbroken.

Therefore, the jury finally voted unanimously that the statue of the Heavenly King should return to China without any controversy. The intuitive and shocking visual effect was also a huge plus.

Of course, there are also other film technologies such as digital modeling, reality virtuality, etc. These technologies have already begun to be used in Hollywood, but the domestic technology is still very rough, and its main application is not in movies, but in... games.

Feng Xueshan didn't know much about what Zhou Zhi did before. She only knew that he opened a computer company and made some money from stock trading. He then used the money to buy many antique paintings and calligraphy, made friends with some celebrities, and set up a foundation to rescue the Three Gorges cultural relics.

We visited IT Plaza today. That building is far more magnificent than the Manzhou Electric Power Company building. The various facilities inside are "modern" and advanced. Yang He quietly told her that even the industrial and commercial administration building, which has the highest level of information technology in Manzhou, has equipment worth a fraction of what is here. Only then did she realize how big a deal Elbow had done.

At the same time, I was also glad that I had made up my mind to leave the environment of Manzhou. If I hadn't come out of the well, I wouldn't even know how big the world outside the well was.

After dinner, Zhou Zhi and Yang He took Feng Xueshan to Suihuaxuan to familiarize themselves with the environment there.

From now on, Feng Xueshan will go to work at Anxin IT Plaza during the day and return here at night. In fact, she still has to go to work, but the environment here is very comfortable. At least she can enjoy it while working. Considering the salary and benefits of the manager of Clover Company, she can completely tolerate it.

Now this place is almost a combination of a museum, a library and a high-end homestay. The guests who come here are all strictly screened and have relatively high quality. Although their requirements are sometimes more demanding, they rarely make unreasonable demands and are the type that are easy to communicate with. With Feng Xueshan's ability, it is not a big problem for them to handle these problems.

However, the dazzling array of furnishings here is also one of the reasons that attracts guests, which is a bit similar to An Siyuan's apartment.

As a manager, if I don't know anything about these and can't communicate with customers, it will definitely lower the grade of this place. It's funny to say that Feng Xueshan has only really felt a little pressure now. There are now a large number of calligraphy inscriptions by celebrities in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Song Dynasty Hutian Kiln porcelain, Ming Dynasty blank period porcelain, Qing Dynasty porcelain, miscellaneous cultural relics, modern Hetian jade, and a bunch of "worthless" jade glass materials such as jade colorless ice and light blue water snowflake cotton.

To be honest, it does test one's knowledge of cultural relics, but fortunately, there are introductions to these things in the book, so Feng Xueshan only needs to memorize them according to the book.

After settling Feng Xueshan, Zhou Zhi and Yang He returned to school.

The next day, Zhou Zhi went to the department to find Gu Kailai, which was considered as his real reporting and the resumption of his campus life.

The classmates also had a wonderful time during this holiday, especially Zhao Xing and Du Wenxin, Xu Gang and Ayiguli. It was not until now that Zhou Zhi learned that the Lantern Festival and Valentine's Day in 1995 were on the same day.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but smile bitterly. The day he broke up seemed too miserable.

However, although he failed in love, he was very happy in the "casino".

On February 27, AXA Fund's bet in the European market was once again a huge success with the collapse of the Bank of England and Barings.

This is a very bizarre "oolong" incident caused by a business error due to poor supervision.

Barings Bank is a long-established investment bank in the UK and one of the oldest banks in the world. It has been established for 233 years and has played a very important role in the UK.

This bank has branches in countries all over the world. The head of the Singapore branch is a 28-year-old man named Leeson.

Leeson's previous achievements were very impressive. He was known for his steadiness and boldness. His previous business in Indonesia made the headquarters of Bahrain Bank very satisfied. He was known as a "genius trader" in the international financial community. So the bank sent him to serve as the general manager and chief trader of Bahrain Futures Company of Bahrain Bank in Singapore.

After that, Leeson made repeated gains in the Nikkei 225 futures contract market, and thus got a new title, "Invincible Leeson".

However, this "invincibility" is actually an illusion.

Barings Bank originally had an "error account number" 99905, which was used to handle errors caused by negligence during transactions. This was a normal error account in the operation of the financial system, but due to the large number of erroneous transactions every day, in the summer of 1992, the London headquarters asked Nick Leeson to set up another "error account" to record minor errors and handle them in Singapore to avoid interfering with work in London.

Nick Leeson opened an "error handling account" with the account number "88888", but a few weeks later, the London headquarters asked the Singapore branch to report all error records directly to London through the "99905" account. The "88888" error account was shelved as soon as it was established, and was completely ignored afterwards.

This unregulated account planted a huge risk control hidden danger for the Bank of Bahrain, which directly led to the subsequent loss crisis. (End of this chapter)
