About ten minutes later, in a heavily guarded operating room, Chia, Ai Haibara and Conan were sitting on the bench beside them, watching the experts' operation results - because they were not allowed to get involved in the matter with Miss Kasaka Natsumi, so they could only choose to come here to watch the staff's inspection of [Egg of Memories].

"Really or not?" Qian Yu stared at the scene in front of him and murmured to himself. "This..."

In front of him, [Egg of Memories] was dismantled into multiple relatively large parts and more scattered small parts. The degree of decomposition even made him wonder whether this thing could be restored.

After all, it is not uncommon to install the disassembled alarm clock back and find that there is still a screw left for some reason, right?

Of course, what Qian Yu was surprised now was not like this, but what the experts in the operating room were watching - in the hands of an expert, a transparent crystal piece removed from the [Egg of Memories] was placed in the light column of the flashlight, and the light projected by the flashlight through the wafer and projected on the wall looked a bit abnormal.

Unlike the situation where direct light transmits through homogeneous transparent crystals, the light spots on the wall seem to show the shape of a building.

"This... can we treat this thing as a transparent slide?" Conan murmured.

"It should be," Qian Yu curled his lips. "At least I think if this thing is stuffed into the slide projector, it should be cast more clearly."

Just as they were discussing these, Shiro Suzuki brought Kasaka Natsumi and others to come over quickly. "What is the [discovery] you just mentioned?"

"The crystals embedded in the [Egg of Memories] were deliberately carved with complex patterns," one of the researchers pointed to the patterns on the wall and signaled everyone to look there.

The image projected on the wall seems to be a building, but the people present cannot accurately distinguish the specific details of the building.

"Is this...a castle?" Suzuki Shiro murmured.

"It seems like a castle, but it's difficult to distinguish more specific details," one researcher explained. "I think it may be that the craftsmanship was a bit incompetent to carve this precision in the past, and the erosion of time also made this worse."

He said it with confidence, so only one of the people present could be sure that this was not the case - it was not because the sculptor was not originally constructed clearly, but because the long years blurred the marks.

[Sharpening Processing], this is an image processing service provided by the auxiliary unit. Qian Yu used this method to alleviate the damage to the image, making many clearer castle images appear on his retina.

A typical English castle

"Is this really possible happening when the glass is worn?" Eiri asked suddenly. "If I remember correctly, the glass should be very stable and not easily weathered..."

"Generally speaking, glass is indeed very stable, but if the storage environment is very poor and even undergoes destructive treatment, it will be seriously traumatized. After all, glass is not indestructible, and this is completely possible." The experts are very sure of their judgment.

However, just as they were about to believe what the expert said, Kasaka Natsumi, who came together, opposed it.

"No, I think it's not wear, but has been treated?" she said unsurely.

"Hmm?" Everyone looked at her immediately.

"I mean, I seem to know something about this," Kasaka Natsumi calmed down a little, sorted out her thoughts and recalled. "That... the ancestor seemed to have done it. It should have been to protect those structures. A layer of special material with low melting points was applied to the outside of the fragile parts. As long as the layer of material is melted, the glass inside can be exposed and a clear pattern can be revealed."

(In fact, it is an extremely light and light natural light resin material, which is introduced between the concave and convex gaps of the glass after heating)

After applying a layer of material, the refractive coating of the entire glass will be severely damaged, which will eventually lead to the completely deformed image. However, as long as the special material is peeled off, the original imaging ability can be restored.

"Hurry and see if you can try it," Suzuki Shiro seemed to believe Kasaka Natsumi's words and said to the staff. After exchanging the eyes of a strange woman who didn't trust the stranger who appeared inexplicably, the researchers began to carefully check the glass to determine whether there was really any material covered on the glass.

Then they realized that this was indeed the case - although not very obvious, it was indeed covered with a very thin layer of material. Although it was difficult to find out because it was too thin and inconspicuous, the amount of material covered on it was enough to destroy the traces that could refract the image.

Just as one minute later, everyone was already surprised to see the glass that had really been stripped of a layer of transparent material.

It was a clearer castle, and it made Shiro Suzuki, Kasaka Natsumi and Kasaka's housekeepers show strange expressions.

"This thing is..." Suzuki Shiro narrowed his eyes slightly. "I remember it seemed like the one I saw in the newspaper when I was a child. It has been one of the places for royal summer vacations since the Karen era..."

"This is our castle in Yokosuka," Kasaka Natsumi's confidence seemed to have increased a lot at this time - after all, such an image added considerable evidence to her words. "How about it, does this add reliability to the words I said before?"

Shiro Suzuki turned his head and looked in the direction of Kogoro Mori and Hideri. After looking at Eiri with Hideri, Kogoro gave Shiro Suzuki a positive look.

In the original work, the design used here is [Light Transmitter], which is a design that after hitting light on the front of the mirror, projecting the pattern on the reverse side of the mirror on the refracted image. However, I chose to modify it to the slide projector mode, that is, the light source on the rear side is projected on the drawn glass plate, and finally reflecting the pattern on the glass plate from the front end on the wall.

The main reasons for the modification are two.

1. The lens of this glass is installed at the bottom of the egg, which means it has to assume the function of transmitting light (while the bronze mirror in the period when the light transmitting mirror was invented, it means that the main result after illuminating the glass is reflection, which is contradictory in terms of the function that needs to be achieved. Moreover, the working principle of the slide projector has been thoroughly understood before (in comparison, the process of transmitting mirror has been lost for a long time), so it is a more reasonable way to use the slide projector rather than the translucent mirror as the flower life of [Egg of Memories].
