Features: The purpose of "Walk into Science" is "to advocate the spirit of science; promote scientific thinking; advocate scientific methods; and disseminate scientific knowledge." What is science? Different people may have different interpretations. Here, we emphasize that science 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 vast outer space, the depths of the Earth, the distant past, and the distant future, science is omnipresent. It influences our lives at every moment, shaping our way of thinking. Exploring China's lost civilizations and uncovering historical mysteries. This book is part of the "Walk into Science" popular science series. Seeking the Flying Tigers' eagles, revealing the mystery of the Great Wall of Apo, uncovering the enigma of the strange caves in Yuankeng Town, and solving the mystery of the "Fushan Shouhai" in the Summer Palace. Too many questions, too much curiosity—humankind needs more exploration, and we need to solve more mysteries. Open this book and embark on a journey of exploring unsolved mysteries. Compared to other news and entertainment programs, science programs face greater challenges in attracting viewers. They must not only explain the surface phenomena of scientific facts but also provide rigorous scientific evidence and logical reasoning. Transforming profound scientific facts filled with principles and logical relationships into lively, accessible, and engaging television programs is indeed not an easy task. Complicated storylines, suspenseful narratives, and compelling character fates all contribute to boosting ratings. For science programs, simply telling stories is not enough. The scientific principles behind the stories and the scientific analysis of unsolved mysteries are the essential features that distinguish them from other programs. "Walk into Science" is positioned as a program that presents logical stories in daily life and scientifically analyzes hot topics and mysteries. How to explain scientific principles in a way that attracts viewers is a challenge faced by producers. The flexible use of props in popular science programs is an indispensable tool for solving this challenge. This book selects engaging and relatable content from CCTV's "Walk into Science" program. It includes stories such as "The Fire of the Great Wall of Apo," "Challenging Cai Lun," and "Exploring the Mystery of Pterosaurs."
