62: I chose a very difficult task.

When Su Yu finished his broadcast, he glanced at his live stream.

The number of concurrent viewers for this broadcast reached a new high!

It had already exceeded 150,000 people!

It’s important to remember that while the last incident of saving flight m734 caused a huge sensation and even made it onto CCTV News, the system only counted 130,000 people for the final rating.

This had left him feeling happy for nothing at the time.

After all, the system’s requirement was that only viewers who entered through the Streamer’s live stream and witnessed the first-hand scene could be counted for the rating.

During the last rescue of flight M743, although the total number of concurrent viewers was very high, most people chose to watch in the Ace Pilot Program Group’s live stream or the competition organizer’s broadcast room to clearly see the changes in the rocket model in the air.

Therefore, only 130,000 fans remained to watch in Su Yu’s live stream.

But this time it was different!

With the fame gained from appearing on the news, Su Yu’s peak concurrent viewership after starting his broadcast today reached over 200,000!

On Kuaishou Platform, this is already considered an absolute top-tier Streamer.

Additionally, since today was Su Yu’s first broadcast after the flight m734 incident, many curious viewers watched his live stream completely for the first time.

For this young hero, new fans initially held more respect.

However, as the broadcast content shifted and interesting interactions with bullet screen fans occurred, new fans gradually shed their unique idol filter for Su Yu and truly became his fans.

“Watching the Streamer’s live stream not only passes the time but also allows one to learn all sorts of knowledge,” commented an anonymous student from a certain university.

“I never watched live streams before, thinking it was a waste of time. Streamer Su is very humorous and entertaining! It’s good to watch, I love watching it, and I want to keep watching! I hope the Streamer broadcasts 24 hours a day,” commented Grandma Liu, a seventy-three-year-old taking her grandson to kindergarten.

“Today’s Streamer broadcast content was refreshing, and the ‘listening to advice’ stream was full of laughter! I look forward to the Streamer successfully transitioning into a painting blogger and drawing real US dollars,” commented a corporate drone who still slacked off watching live streams despite working four hours of overtime every day.

These were some of the various comments Su Yu saw from fans about himself on social media platforms.

With the encouragement from the audience and the motivation from the system’s tasks, he was even more invigorated at this moment.

To better learn imitation techniques, Su Yu first called his administrator, Xiao Yuan, after ending the broadcast.

He asked her where he could buy suitable materials if he wanted to imitate US dollars.

However, Tang Xiaoyuan, as the top student at Tsinghua University who also slacked off, didn’t know either.

After all, her major was aerospace physics.

She might know where to get materials for nuclear fusion, but asking her to help find ways to imitate US dollars was indeed a bit difficult for her.

In desperation, Tang Xiaoyuan had no choice but to turn to Tang Tian.

But Tang Tian also didn’t know, so she had to turn to the resourceful Professor Tang Zhenggang.

Finally, under Professor Tang Zhenggang’s grumbling, Tang Xiaoyuan managed to find a university senior who had studied currency printing, thanks to her grandfather’s connections.

And upon learning that Su Yu was actually going to switch careers to learn painting, our Professor Tang Zhenggang couldn’t eat or sleep, exclaiming that the aerospace industry had lost a once-in-a-century talent.

However, the final outcome was good.

Through the university senior contacted by Tang Xiaoyuan, Su Yu also learned a lot about the preparations for currency production… Over the next few days, Su Yu began to study diligently every day.

Through continuous learning, he discovered a very interesting phenomenon.

Imitating banknotes is both difficult and, in fact, simple.

The difficulty lies mainly in the different anti-counterfeiting technologies of each country!

Currency is, after all, a representation of a country’s face, and the advancement of anti-counterfeiting technology can indirectly reflect the strength or weakness of a country’s power.

For example, the currencies of many small countries only use three or four anti-counterfeiting technologies, and the difficulty of these technologies is not high.

If someone really put in the effort to study them, they might be able to decipher some of them.

But the stronger a country’s power, the more advanced the anti-counterfeiting technologies used on its currency.

Some developed countries even use more than a dozen anti-counterfeiting technologies on their currency, and each one has its own unique mechanism!

Su Yu could also understand the purpose of doing this.

As a hard currency, if money could be freely printed by a third party other than the state, the consequences would be unimaginable!

On a small scale, it could disrupt the world’s economic balance.

On a large scale, it could destroy a country!

Therefore, the more developed a country, the stricter its control over counterfeit currency.

The US dollar, as one of the most widely circulated currencies in the world, naturally employs anti-counterfeiting technologies that are far beyond what ordinary countries can compare to.

Su Yu felt a little regretful.

Anyway, the task the system gave him was to imitate counterfeit money, it didn’t specify which country’s currency he had to imitate.

Why did he just blurt out and choose a high-difficulty task?

If he had known earlier, he would have imitated a simple currency, choosing some unknown small country. With the rewards the system gave him, wouldn’t the task be completed in minutes?

However, he quickly dismissed this thought after a second consideration.

Imitating simple currencies would naturally lead to quicker rewards, but the social rating received would certainly not be too high.

What if only 70 or 80 points were given by 100,000 people, and there might not even be 10,000 people giving him 100 points for a good reward.

Therefore, he could just set the time for imitating US dollars to be on the last day of the mission.

Anyway, he would practice first.

Starting with simple anti-counterfeiting techniques, then gradually increasing the difficulty.

As long as he presented a complete US dollar to his live stream fans in the end, he should still receive good rewards.

So, the first step in imitating currency.

It’s not painting first, but the selection of materials.

Acid-free paper is the basic requirement.

Currently, the currencies of most countries on the market use acid-free paper as their raw material.

It is difficult for official bodies to produce this type of paper, but the difficulty is not great! However, for ordinary people, it is by no means easy to produce acid-free paper that meets the standards!

The paper used for US dollars is special cotton and linen fiber paper, which feels tough. Moreover, the paper undergoes special chemical treatment, giving it high strength and fold resistance!

Most importantly, acid-free paper can be identified through pH testing.

Ordinary paper appears blue or purple, but US dollars made from acid-free paper appear a light yellow.
