98: The five-star national emblem and a self-portrait of the anchor?
Su Yu's live stream.
After an intense acting session, the fans gradually regained their composure.
Indeed, with the Streamer's influence, successfully replicating a ten thousand yen note would be enough to astound audiences worldwide.
As for the 100,000 yen banknote that had never been issued...
Under the collective effort and persuasion of everyone, it had already begun to ferment on foreign live streaming platforms.
All sorts of overwhelming rumors and news were enough to give the Little Sun's government a headache for quite some time.
After all, spreading rumors only takes a mouth, but refuting them wears out legs.
Especially rumors concerning a national level, they are naturally not so easy to dispel.
The combination of punches thrown by Su Yu and the China netizens caught Japan off guard.
However, if one were to ask what serious practical impact it would ultimately cause, that is rather unlikely.
After all, even if the government comes forward to refute rumors, no matter how great the storm on the internet, it cannot shake the foundation of a country; at most, it will sicken the government of Japan and give them a headache for a period of time.
Compared to the actual economic losses caused, this incident more so made Japan lose face in its international standing. It was a heavy blow from Su Yu.
One can only say that the Little Sun had bad luck.
It just so happened that he successfully replicated the US dollar, and at the peak of his popularity, they issued new currency.
And they even boasted, saying that the newly issued yen possessed the most advanced anti-counterfeiting technology, making it the most difficult currency in the world to replicate.
Under such urgent circumstances, Su Yu had no choice but to target the Little Sun.
This cannot be blamed on others.
"Streamer, the yen has also successfully passed the currency detector. Can you take it out and let everyone admire it?"
"Exactly, Brother Su, you were busy with the currency detector just now, and we didn't get a good look at what the yen looked like after it was finished."
"I second that! Didn't the Streamer replicate that highly difficult 3D holographic anti-counterfeiting technology? Take it out and let us see it, open our eyes."
"I'm a new viewer who just joined the live stream and haven't seen what the replicated yen looks like. Streamer, you know what I mean!"
Seeing the suggestions from the fans in the live stream, Su Yu didn't dally and directly took out the 1:1 replicated yen from a stack.
Because it was made as an exact replica, the serial numbers of the two yen were identical, and he easily found it.
Placing the two yen in front of the camera for display, Su Yu even used an electronic magnifying glass to better show the details. Under the display of the ultra-high magnification magnifying glass, netizens clearly saw all the numbers on the banknote.
This time there was no Officer Xiao for free popular science explanation. So Su Yu himself became the commentator, explaining online every pattern, symbol, and anti-counterfeiting mark on the yen.
"The paper printing of the yen, like most currencies, uses deep intaglio printing. It prints by pushing out high humor, giving a rough feel when touched."
"At the same time, in addition to traditional portraits, high-precision watermarks also incorporate other patterns in the background."
"The watermark stripes adopt a vertical structure, and the number of stripes varies for different denominations. The ten thousand yen note has three stripes, the five thousand yen note has two, and the one thousand yen note has one."
...It took more than ten minutes for Su Yu to briefly go over all the anti-counterfeiting technologies on the yen.
And after listening to his explanation, the fans in the live stream also became awe-struck.
Good heavens, you don't know until you hear it, and once you hear it, you're shocked.
Originally, they thought replicating currency wasn't as complicated as imagined.
Over a dozen anti-counterfeiting technologies are easy to talk about, but to truly complete the replication, that is not something an ordinary person can do!
Even two teams of people can't!
Just the most basic deep intaglio printing is not something an ordinary person can handle.
"Holy cow, the Streamer is too amazing. Where did he learn so many anti-counterfeiting technologies?"
"Before, I thought replicating currency was just that, but I didn't expect there to be so many intricacies involved."
"Indeed, a genius is a genius no matter what field he is in!"
"So many anti-counterfeiting technologies, I couldn't even remember the names after listening to them just now. How did the Streamer manage to master every single anti-counterfeiting technology? Even if he started learning from the womb, I don't think I could learn it."
"Streamer, you've talked about so many anti-counterfeiting technologies, did you forget the main attraction?"
"Yeah, yeah, didn't the Streamer say there was also 3D holographic anti-counterfeiting technology? Where is it? Why don't I see it?"
As the fans in the live stream listened to Su Yu's introduction of each item, some impatient ones began to urge him.
Su Yu smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"Don't rush, everyone, look here."
"This vertical reflective strip, and the small silver area at the very bottom, that's the 3D holographic anti-counterfeiting!"
While speaking, Su Yu aimed the camera at the eagerly anticipated 3D holographic section.
At first glance, the dazzling silver light was a bit blinding. But upon closer inspection, one could discern the hidden portrait within the reflective strip.
It was none other than Eiichi Shibusawa, the same old man depicted on the front cover of the banknote.
Su Yu slowly changed the angle, and as he gazed at Eiichi Shibusawa's portrait, the shadows on his face also shifted, and the figure even turned his head and body.
At first glance, it looked as if a living person was turning their body.
"Oh my god, this person looks like he's come alive! I look at him, and he looks at me. I change direction to look at him, and he changes direction to look at me too!"
"Is this 3D holographic technology? It's quite interesting, feels like watching virtual VR."
"Awesome, Streamer, you even replicated this kind of anti-counterfeiting, that's incredible!"
"Streamer, Streamer, quickly let us see the other one. I want to see what's different about the 100,000 yen banknote's 3D hologram."
The fans in the live stream's eyes lit up, and they eagerly urged him on.
"Alright, everyone, don't rush, I'll go get it now."
While speaking, Su Yu pulled out the 100,000 yen banknote, and coincidentally aimed the reflective strip at the camera for the first time.
Everyone held their breath at this moment.
The ten thousand yen note was an already issued currency, so many people had seen its complete version. But the 100,000 yen banknote was different! After all, Su Yu had created it on the spot today.
The character, pattern, and layout design were all original!
Everyone was eager to see what Su Yu would draw on the 3D holographic reflective strip.
Under the refraction of the reflective strip, a clear portrait of a young man soon emerged.
The portrait's face showed a humble smile, and a small national emblem was embroidered on the collar.
Looking closely, five small stars sparkled on the national emblem, with the largest one in the center, surrounded by the other four. Below the five stars was the exquisite and magnificent Tiananmen Gate in Kyoto.
For some unknown reason, when everyone first laid eyes on it, they found the young man on the reflective strip inexplicably familiar.
Upon closer inspection, their eyes suddenly widened.
Whoa! Good heavens, isn't that the Streamer's self-portrait?!!!
