Vermilion, bright yellow, emerald green, lake blue, this is the dazzling appearance of the Chengdu Universiade torch "Rong Huo", and it is also the light of youth. Starting from June 10th, the first relay of "Rong Huo" will begin at Peking University, and the relay will pass through Harbin, Shenzhen, Chongqing and other places, and last until July 26. Let's take a look at the four hidden "passwords" about "Ronghuo"!
"Code" 1: What civilization details are hidden in the appearance of "Ronghuo"?
The Chengdu Universiade torch "Rong Huo" is taken from the abbreviation "Rong" in Chengdu, and also means "integration" and "tolerance". The exterior design of "Rong Huo" was completed by the famous Chinese design artist Xu Liaoyuan and his team. The front of the torch uses the Sichuan giant panda as the main design element, showing Chengdu's optimistic and friendly attitude; The top of the torch incorporates the image logo of Chengdu City and the symbol of Chinese cultural heritage, the Sun God Bird; The side of the torch resembles a bronze statue in Sanxingdui, and the ancient Chinese civilization will be ignited with new vitality in the Universiade, a grand event for young people.
The appearance of "Ronghuo" uses the main visual color block of the Universiade with colorful gradients, integrating the four gradient colors of vermilion, bright yellow, emerald green and lake blue, and presenting the enthusiastic, energetic and fashionable colorful life of Chengdu and the colorful youth of college students.
"Code" 2: Why is the flame of "Rong Huo" so ethereal?
As the power source of torch combustion, "Ronghuo" innovatively uses biomass propane as fuel. Unlike traditional propane from natural gas processing and petroleum refining, this biomass propane is synthesized from waste such as straw, rice husks, corn cobs, etc., and only produces water vapor and carbon dioxide after combustion, which is a renewable clean gas.
At the same time, biomass propane itself has the characteristics of bright yellow when burning, and the appropriate adjustment of air intake makes the flame of "Ronghuo" more eye-catching in different backgrounds, showing a bright yellow flexible and flowing effect.
"Code" 3: How much does "Rong Huo" weigh?
The R&D team of "Ronghuo" is led by 31 institutes of the Third Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "31"). According to the project leader, in order to facilitate the torchbearer to lift when running, the aviation aluminum alloy with light weight and high hardness was also used in the manufacture of "Rong Huo".
This aviation aluminum alloy has a lower density than ordinary metal alloys, and also has excellent properties of corrosion resistance and reusability, so the weight of "Ronghuo" remains at 1.2 kg, which is light and environmentally friendly.
"Password" 4: Can "Rong Huo" be collected?
The cover news reporter learned that the current collection of "Rong Huo" has digital collections and physical collections. The Chengdu Universiade issued a limited edition of 10,000 Universiade torches "Rong Huo" with the same 3D version of the digital torch. This is the first time in the history of the Universiade that a digital edition of the torch collection has been issued.
At the same time, the official flagship store of licensed goods of the Universiade is also selling "Ronghuo" model ornaments, with prices ranging from 598 yuan to 1680 yuan.
