Features: The purpose of "Getting Closer to Science" is "promoting the spirit of science; disseminating scientific thinking; advocating scientific methods; spreading scientific knowledge." What is science? Different people may have different interpretations. Here, we emphasize a science that is not limited to superconductivity, nanotechnology, genetics, and space exploration. From the smallest aspects of daily life, such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, to the vastness of outer space, the depths of the Earth, billions of years ago, and billions of years in the future, science is present everywhere. It can be said that science is omnipresent in our lives, constantly influencing our daily experiences and shaping our way of thinking. Exploring China's lost civilizations, uncovering historical mysteries—this book is part of the "Getting Closer to Science" popular science series. Tracking the king of venomous snakes, exploring the mystery of underwater cities, revealing the secrets of imperial tombs, solving the mystery of rainwater utilization in Tuancheng—too many questions, too much curiosity. Humanity needs more exploration, and humanity needs to solve more mysteries. Open this book and let us embark on a journey of exploring unsolved mysteries. Compared to other news and entertainment programs, science programs face a much greater challenge in attracting viewers. They must not only explain the surface phenomena of scientific facts but also provide rigorous scientific evidence and logical reasoning. Transforming a profound, science-filled, and logically complex scientific fact into a lively, accessible, and audience-friendly television program is indeed no easy task. Complicated storylines, suspenseful narratives, and compelling character fates all become key factors in boosting ratings. For science programs, simply telling stories is not enough. The scientific principles within the stories and the scientific analysis of unsolved mysteries are the essential features that distinguish them from other programs. "Getting Closer to Science" is positioned as a program that presents deductive stories and scientific explanations of hot topics and mysteries. How to analyze scientific principles in a way that attracts viewers is a challenge faced by creators. The flexible use of props in popular science programs is an indispensable tool in solving this challenge.
