92: Hidden 3D holographic Easter egg!
Su Yu's achievements in just over an hour of streaming made the currency experts in Sakura Country, thousands of miles away, increasingly anxious.
Although everyone had mentally prepared themselves in advance,
to actually watch their painstakingly created currency be effortlessly deciphered in an instant, that immense sense of frustration and loss still plunged these experts into self-doubt.
There's no harm without comparison.
It can only be said that Su Yu's appearance profoundly shocked everyone.
However, some were happy, while others were sad.
While the experts in Sakura Country were all looking grim, netizens in Meijian Country couldn't help but gloat.
Before, when the US dollar was replicated, Sakura Country's netizens didn't hold back their sarcastic remarks online. They pretended to marvel at how amazing Su Yu was, but now that it was their turn, they couldn't smile.
Everyone is in the same boat; the pot shouldn't call the kettle black.
Of course, if there's hardship, it should be shared.
"Hahahaha, what's it like to be the subject of gossip! You dwarves of Sakura Country!"
"Hmph, they laughed at us, saying the US dollar was easy to imitate! Didn't your yen get replicated just as quickly? And it seems it took less than half the time compared to the US dollar."
"Exactly, exactly. Replicating one original version is one thing, but he also directly created a new version of the yen. What do you say to that?"
"I'm dying of laughter; I really want to see what expressions are on the faces of those Little Sun people right now!"
"I'm guessing that people in Sakura Country are probably already researching how to invite the Streamer to their territory. Don't they like to learn from others? Isn't this a great opportunity to learn?"
It can only be said that this generation of netizens is truly exceptional.
Their act of rubbing salt in the wound precisely hit the vital spot of Sakura Country's experts.
At this moment, they were indeed discussing, sweating profusely.
"Mr. Murakami, what do you think of this Young man's design?"
"Excellent! Truly excellent!"
"Hmm, although we also plan to use Shinya Yamanaka as the portrait, I have to say, this kid's drawing is truly superb! The temperament of the venerable Mr. Yamanaka is depicted with uncanny skill!"
"Tsk, how can you boost others' morale and diminish your own prestige! I just think our newly issued currency won't be worse than this kid's!"
"If we could invite Mr. Su Yu to the Empire and get his authorization, then we could directly use the design he created."
"In my opinion, none of you teachers should draw conclusions too easily until the last moment. What if he's just all show and only has good drawing skills? Don't forget how long we've been researching 3D holographic technology to master its application."
"I don't believe he can break through all the anti-counterfeiting technologies, can he?!"
..."Done!"
In the live stream, after Su Yu finished depicting both banknotes, he immediately began creating the anti-counterfeiting features without delay.
After all, this was the main point of replicating currency.
While there are few people in this world with exquisite drawing skills who can precisely draw the yen's design like him, they are not non-existent.
Su Yu was also very clear about where his core competitiveness lay compared to them.
Anti-counterfeiting was the main event.
No matter how well a banknote is drawn, if anti-counterfeiting technology cannot be loaded and used on the currency, it will ultimately just be an ordinary photocopy.
High-precision photocopiers outside can also achieve this.
So, the first anti-counterfeiting technology Su Yu chose to demonstrate was pearl ink.
Pearl ink is a type of color-changing ink; it shares similarities but also has its unique aspects.
As a basic anti-counterfeiting technology for currency, color-changing ink is used on the currency of every country.
However, to highlight its uniqueness, Sakura Country specifically ground fluorescent pearl powder into it. Although the effect is almost the same, they proudly claimed it as their original domestic anti-counterfeiting technology.
Su Yu spent less than twenty minutes mixing the pearl ink.
Because it truly wasn't difficult at all!
As long as you know how to mix color-changing ink, making this stuff is a piece of cake.
However, completing the pearl ink mixture in just over twenty minutes also stunned the fans in the live stream.
"This is too fast! Watching the Streamer make this kind of thing somehow gives me a feeling that I could do it too?"
"Hahahaha, pearl ink is too simple for the Streamer; quickly, something more challenging!"
"I want to see the Streamer replicate 3D holographic technology!"
"Plus one, I want to see it too."
"Didn't the Little Sun people claim their currency was the hardest to counterfeit? Now they've been slapped in the face."
Replicating pearl ink in twenty minutes, compared to the last time he made the US dollar, also cut the time by almost half. This is Su Yu's progress!
It is also the result of his careful study after receiving system rewards.
With the pearl ink for both banknotes completed, next was the high-precision Hollow out (hollow-out) technology.
This was also an anti-counterfeiting technology that Sakura Country was proud of.
Although called high-precision Hollow out, it was actually a multi-layered superposition of ultra-high-definition anti-counterfeiting watermarks and holograms, forming an effect similar to a hollow-out.
Because this technology blended multiple anti-counterfeiting techniques, it was also more complex to produce.
If any one of these techniques was not up to par, the overall effect presented would be greatly diminished.
However, Su Yu had studied it for three days in advance, so this anti-counterfeiting technology was nothing special in his eyes.
An hour later.
High-precision Hollow out patterns comparable to the original were easily replicated on both banknotes.
Next were latent images, micro-text, invisible graphics, 3D holographic anti-counterfeiting technology... In just a few hours.
Sakura Country's currency experts were completely numb.
All the anti-counterfeiting technologies they had painstakingly researched throughout their lives were simply insignificant in the eyes of this twenty-something Young man from Huaxia Country.
They felt the despair of Meijian Country for the first time!
With such a civilian deity who could replicate their country's currency anytime, anywhere, who could feel at ease?
He was not controlled by any country, and he was far away in a foreign land.
And it was in Huaxia Country, which is hailed as the safest in the world!
Even if they had any ideas about him, they couldn't easily extend their reach into Huaxia Country.
They could only watch him helplessly, while they themselves were powerless.
In the live stream.
Su Yu began making the final 3D holographic anti-counterfeiting strip.
The new version of the yen's 3D holographic anti-counterfeiting strip not only had laser patterns but also character portraits.
The character portrait was determined by the figure on the front of the banknote.
Su Yu had just finished making the ten thousand yen note. Looking at this brand new yen with a face value of one hundred thousand, a sly smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The character on the 3D holographic reflective strip could only be seen at a specific angle; adding his easter egg here was just right!
