Shijingshan District, Beijing - A century old blast furnace transformed into a science fiction amusement park, taking a cruise on the "Qitian" starship, wearing VR glasses to experience the wonderful fantasy world; Touching the blast furnace slag from a hundred years ago and sensing the remnants of heavy industry... Tourists have a rich experience in the intertwining of science fiction and reality. This is the Shougang No.1 Blast Furnace · SoReal Science Fiction Park located in Shijingshan District, Beijing. The magnificent blast furnace building still stands tall, while the interior has been transformed into a futuristic science fiction world. As one of the emerging urban landmarks and new consumption scenarios in Beijing, the science fiction amusement park is creating a fantastic and romantic journey for tourists, with "culture as the background and technology as the brush", where technology and culture dance together. The blast furnace is a circular ultra-high space, and after demonstration, it was ultimately decided to design it as a spacecraft image. ”Lv Xiaozhuo, the person in charge of Shougang No.1 Blast Furnace · SoReal Science Fiction Park, introduced that some science fiction writers come here to visit and feel that this place has turned science fiction imagination into reality. During the industrial production period, a blast furnace was the core equipment for melting molten iron. During the renovation process, the furnace core was completely preserved, and the former blast furnace hot air inlet was transformed into an atmosphere lamp hole. The remaining black slag still hung on the wall of the furnace core. The appearance of the blast furnace itself has a strong sense of science fiction. During the renovation process, the original structure and external industrial building style of the blast furnace were maximally preserved. ”L ü Xiaozhuo said. Many people come here to reminisce about the past while also witnessing the coolness of science fiction. The SJ1091 interstellar flight 'Qitian' you are on is equipped with a fourth generation quantum engine, and we are running at high speed. Along the way, you may feel bumpy... "With the sound of the broadcast in your ears, the game began, and Shandong tourist Wang Tao and his child began to swim in an immersive sci-fi scene. This summer, Wang Tao specifically brought her child to the science fiction amusement park for fun. Reading guides online, this place is very popular among children. "Coming here, Wang Tao was not disappointed, experiencing" interstellar travel "in a century old blast furnace and feeling the charm of" technology empowerment "in an industrial site. After renovation, the science fiction amusement park has a building area of 22000 square meters, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as AI, digital twins, holographic imaging, etc., covering future technology parks, theme shows, art exhibitions, restaurants, bars and other formats.

(Reporter Pan Junqiang) Fengxian District, Shanghai - Science fiction famous scene turned into offline scene "Don't answer! Don't answer! Don't answer! ”What would be your choice when faced with interactive buttons? Wearing an identity wristband and activating a unique 'digital ID', tourist Wang Ting transforms into a 'Future Academy student'. Relying on digital roles, Wang Ting participated in role-playing and task challenges in the exhibition hall, and the "civilization imprint" created by her was recorded in real-time in the "Space War Database". This is the world's largest double shell structure science fiction museum - the Water Side Science Fiction Museum in Fengxian District, Shanghai. The "Three Body Future Academy" inside the museum is an immersive interactive entertainment experience space jointly created by the Science Fiction Museum and the "Three Body Universe" - six science fiction themed spaces and more than 30 immersive exhibition items. From light and shadow effects to physical installations, a "Three Body Universe" is about to emerge. The Three Body Problem trilogy is the representative work of science fiction writer Liu Cixin and has many fans. Entering the museum feels like stepping into a futuristic world, filled with a sci-fi atmosphere. Whether it's the light and shadow display of the "Natural Selection" warship, the immersive performance of the "Waterdrop Theater", or the space battles of the "Deep Space War", the famous scenes of the novel have become accessible offline scenes, attracting science fiction fans to immerse themselves in them. The Science Fiction Museum officially opened to the public on July 5th and received over 20000 visitors during the summer. ”Introduced by Liu Da, the director of the Water Side Science Fiction Museum. The most popular one is undoubtedly the "Waterdrop Theater". Now, the Combined Fleet is about to cross Jupiter's orbit and make its first contact with the Trisolaran probe. In the "Waterdrop Theater," mechanical light and shadow recreate the doomsday battle in the story of "The Three Body Problem," depicting the perilous moment of humanity's first encounter with a waterdrop from the Trisolaran civilization. From an aerial perspective, the science fiction museum resembles a flying saucer suspended in mid air. The rooftop floating island garden is adorned with a massive "Space Dialogue" art installation, conveying a beautiful vision of humanity embracing the unknown. In addition, there are also study rooms for the Face Wall Project, a journey through chaotic eras, and dome battles... all full of sci-fi experience. I am very familiar with the famous scenes in the novel 'The Three Body Problem', and the reproduction degree in the Water Side Science Fiction Museum is very high, which can stimulate more people's curiosity about technology and the universe. ”Wang Ting said. In Shanghai, many venues are using unique perspectives and methods to narrate technological innovation and science fiction in the context of Eastern narrative. In the Shanghai Planetarium, visitors use various equipment to understand the universe and contemplate the future; The "Nantianmen Plan" AI Science Fiction Park, launched in the Lingang New Area, is one of the few immersive cultural and tourism projects based on aviation science fiction IP in China... In the strong science fiction cultural atmosphere, the consumption space of science fiction culture is gradually opening up in Shanghai. (Reporter Cao Lingjuan) Mangya City, Qinghai Province - Oil Town has become a research base. With a longing for the plot of science fiction works, self driving enthusiast Zhou Qiang came to Lenghu Town, Mangya City, Qinghai Province. Starting south from here and driving through the vast Gobi Desert for 17 kilometers, an abandoned adobe town gradually appears before our eyes. This is a site of the Cold Lake Oil Town. In the late 1970s, as most of the oil wells dried up and ceased production, the workers of Lenghu Petroleum relocated from here to Dunhuang. Due to the high atmospheric stability, low precipitation and vapor deposition, abundant sunny nights, and low light pollution in the Lenghu area, coupled with the high altitude and relatively thin atmosphere, it has gradually become an excellent astronomical observation site. In 2023, the modern science and education comprehensive laboratory - Cold Lake Laboratory - will officially open. Entering the Cold Lake Laboratory located on the outskirts of the town, students participating in an astronomy study tour are observing vegetables grown on a chip farm. The Cold Lake Laboratory provides research-based courses for primary and secondary school students around themes such as astronomical observation, space planting, and aerospace, and these projects are also open to tourists, "said Li Wei, Deputy Director of the Cold Lake Science and Technology Innovation Park Management Committee. Leaving the oil town, Zhou Qiang continued driving along the "Mars Highway 1". Desolate Gobi, thick clouds, howling strong winds... Zhou Qiang entered the Yadan landform group in Oboliang. This place has typical wind eroded landforms and is known as the 'most Mars like place on Earth'. Three hours later, Zhou Qiang arrived at the Cold Lake Mars Camp. The campsite is designed as a fully enclosed Mars spacecraft, capable of accommodating 72 people in a sleeping cabin and 100 people in a tent at the same time. Tourists can participate in simulation experience projects such as "Mars Rescue" outdoors, and also challenge "Mars missions" to solve practical problems using multidisciplinary knowledge such as biology, chemistry, and mathematics, and learn practical skills such as outdoor survival and tent building. I learned to look for the North Star so that I can determine my direction through it at night. ”8-year-old Yang Yongqin is very interested in science fiction novels, and Mars Camp also provides rich science popularization and exploration activities for children who come here. Zhou Qiang is more interested in the Martian landforms here. He received a tablet and satellite positioning device and followed the navigation route into the Cold Lake Mars Geopark here. That night, Zhou Qiang, who stayed overnight in the geological park, saw the "most stars he has ever seen in his life". It is reported that this summer, the Cold Lake Mars Camp and Cold Lake Laboratory received 2515 people related to science popularization and research; The Cold Lake Mars Geopark has received over 5000 self driving vehicles and approximately 20000 personnel.
