“Amazing!” Lincoln sincerely praised.

“You’re even more amazing, such an incredible technology. I could never imagine in my dreams that the Water Holding Pavilion could be so easily replicated. ”

Leonard was far more shocked than Lincoln, even after finishing the construction, his face was still full of surprise.

He lowered his head to look at his hands and then stepped forward to touch the just-built pavilion.

He said incredulously, “This Water Holding Pavilion, I found it in the Anhui Region a few years ago. It was an ancient architecture heavily eroded by wind and rain. At that time, we didn’t have the ability to restore it, so we could only choose to record it. Just taking photos, surveying, and drawing the structure took a full two days.”

He looked up at the vivid and lifelike flying eaves and dougong brackets in front of him, even the touch of the pillars felt incredibly real.

This filled him with emotion: “Those photos and blueprints lack such detail, such intuitiveness, and such beauty!”

Lincoln admired the pavilion in front of him. Even though it was made of the most standard wood and didn’t have any traces left by time and weather, it was far more interesting and elegant compared to modern square houses.

He thought for a moment, called up the panel, and added some erosion and wear textures to the small pavilion.

Well, it looked more authentic now.

However, Old Man Leonard immediately became restless, “No, no! It’s not like this! These traces are entirely wrong!”

Lincoln didn’t argue, “After all, I’ve never actually seen this pavilion myself! That’s why I’m willing to sponsor ancient architecture researchers. To achieve a perfect recreation, you need someone who has seen it in person to restore it bit by bit.”

Leonard, having recovered from his curiosity and excitement, immediately realized that the young man in front of him really had the ability to greatly improve the living conditions of ancient architecture scholars.

Moreover, the significance of this virtual environment equipment for the documentation and preservation of ancient architecture is immeasurable.

Even if Lincoln doesn’t need it, once he learns of this technology, Leonard also wants to do his utmost to leave a backup copy of the ancient architecture imagery in the virtual world.

In the future, whether it’s for tracing the influence of time or for restoration, it will become a priceless reference!

“Absolutely no problem. I believe everyone will be happy to hear that someone is willing to sponsor their research. It’s just that most people are traveling all over the country in rural areas, so it might be a bit difficult to gather everyone together.”

“Why do they need to get together?” Lincoln asked in confusion.

“Don’t we need to have a meeting to explain the situation, clarify the process, and discuss the system?” Leonard couldn’t understand.

“Let’s not bother with that, it’s not a commercial cooperation, just treat it as a public welfare project. ”

Lincoln said casually, “I will directly communicate with you, and then provide a process chart for everyone to follow.”

“As for the specific projects and financial reporting issues, that’s also easy to say. I’ll provide you with software later. After the project starts, all expenses can be recorded on the software, and considering the time span of rural investigations, we can have a quarterly review, which should be about right.”

“The software is also easy to use. I will provide a small server, and when the time comes, all sponsored people will receive a device, all devices will connect directly to the server, and everyone can enter the virtual world. At that time, you can teach them. It will also be much easier for you to have meetings and communicate.”

“What do you think?” Lincoln finished expressing his thoughts and looked at Leonard.

Old Master Liang was utterly confused.

What did he think? It was simply fantastic! When had he ever seen such an easy-going sponsor?!

Such a generous sponsor was truly pleasing, especially in the field of ancient architecture exploration and maintenance, it was a great cause for celebration that deserved firecrackers and high incense offerings!

What a kind-hearted good boy!

It’s a pity that his daughter was already married. Otherwise, this kid would be much better than his useless son-in-law who only knew how to calculate with a broken pen all day!

“I think there’s absolutely no problem!”

So the matter was casually settled.

After leaving the virtual world, Old Man Leonard couldn’t wait any longer. He immediately took out his mobile phone, flipped through his contacts, and began making phone calls.

As for Lincoln, with the old man’s consent, he started to assemble the physical model of the Drum Tower according to the blueprints.

Recreating ancient architecture in the virtual world is indeed more convenient, faster, and more spectacular and realistic. However, it cannot replace the fun of assembling a model in reality, as they are two completely different forms of enjoyment.

Lincoln really enjoyed the process of assembling small pieces into a larger object.

Leonard left the study to make phone calls on the balcony.

While Lincoln was working on the assembly, he noticed a cautious little head peeking out from the doorway of the study, two round eyes stealthily watching him.

When discovered by Lincoln, the little girl quickly withdrew her head. But after waiting for a while, she couldn’t help but cautiously peek out again.

Lincoln remembered that the old man had mentioned that his granddaughter Sisi was very shy, so he resisted the urge to tease her and devoted himself entirely to the task at hand, assembling the Drum Tower model in front of him. Sisi watched this silent brother working on the model, gradually gaining more courage.

She tentatively showed her whole face, then half her body, and finally walked into the room. The little girl had shoulder-length hair and wore a white skirt with a strawberry print, looking nervous.

Only when Lincoln showed no reaction did she tiptoe step by step to the pile of temple models and cautiously look at him again before continuing with what she was doing before he arrived.

Lincoln could see the whole process from the corner of his eyes, and laughed to himself, am I a monster that will eat people? Why is she so afraid?

However, he didn’t disturb the little girl and focused on assembling the model in front of him.

The Drum Tower model was much more complex than Lincoln had anticipated. He had never assembled something like this before, and the blueprints were hardcore ancient architecture structural diagrams rather than the user-friendly LEGO instructions, so the progress was very slow.

It wasn’t until two hours had passed that he had assembled just three floors.

After regaining his focus, he realized it was getting late, but Old Man Leonard was still energetically making phone calls on the balcony and didn’t seem tired at all.

On the other hand, the little girl beside him was obviously sleepy but stubbornly refused to rest as long as Lincoln kept working.

Lincoln smiled to himself, stood up and stretched, and waved to the little girl, admitting defeat and leaving the study first.

After saying goodbye to the old man, he returned home.

Of course, for the young people of the new era, it’s still too early to go to bed before 10 0’clock.

As he couldn’t think of anything else to do, he decided to do a little extra work.

He took out his phone and opened the “Lincoln Global Fan Club Group 1” which he hadn’t paid attention to for several days, also known as “Fan Group 1” or “Classmate Group”.

“Is there anyone familiar with the amusement parks in Xiajing City? Which one has the most and most exciting projects? I want to go there for some materials..”
