Studying Science in the Alternate World Chapter 190

Chapter 190 Overlay slide card (three in one)

The subject is not difficult, but it seems to be not much different from the first tower subject Duke received. It is all about the role of spiritual materials in the structure of the spell model.

So after receiving the subject, Duke asked Mu Lali to recruit spiritual apprentices.

"Just five spiritual apprentices."

"Yes, sir."

For this research team, Duke doesn't plan to recruit too many people, just enough to maintain the group's normal experiments.

If it wasn't for the purpose of learning the card making field, he would have planned to go out and do it alone.

Studying good communication technology and film and television technology is enough to make him famous and rich, and it is more than enough to build his own mage tower.

Drink tea.

Look at the newspaper.

In the past few days, the local newspapers have been reporting the invasion of the insect swarm, killing three arcane mages at one time, which is a huge blow to Shenjiao City.

The Cuihai Valley development war also suffered heavy losses. The appearance of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon led to the evacuation of all 15 safe camps.

Before killing the Black Jade Horseshoe crab, no arcanist dared to station in the safe camp.

All the mercenary regiments also retreated to Sheshou Town one after another, not daring to go to Cuihai Valley to hunt privately. Without the protection of arcane masters, the mercenaries went to Cuihai Valley to deliver food to high-level spirit beasts.

"The invasion of insect swarms is not always a bad thing. For this city, the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon relied on blood pressure to gather a large number of spirit insects in the surrounding area and drive them to death. It is equivalent to cleaning up the threats around the city in advance and obtaining a lot of arable land."

Newspaper commentators always have new interpretations of the bug swarm invasion.

Duke does not agree with this point: "It is not difficult to hunt spirit beasts. The reason why Shenjiao City does not expand outward is that the population cannot keep up."

Heijiaohe is equivalent to the area of a province, but its population is only the size of a city.

It can't be developed at all.

In the final analysis, the Seven Towers Federation has expanded too fiercely in recent years. Although it has entered the rapid development of the industrial age, it is still too short to abolish the aristocratic exploitation system.

The Seven Towers Federation originated from the Stormwind Empire.

The Stormwind Empire was still an empire based on knights at that time, and the arcanists were suppressed, so several arcanists left the empire to start a business in the jungle.

Subsequently, the Seven Towers Federation was established, but at that time, the Seven Towers Federation only changed the ruler from knights to arcane mages, and the system was no different from that of the Storm Empire.

In short, everyone did not treat civilians as human beings, killed them at will, and even used them as experimental products.

Until going further and further on the path of spiritual arcane magic, the vision of the arcane masters is getting higher and higher, and the territory they occupy is getting bigger and bigger.

Only slowly reform the system, improve people's livelihood, and prohibit the exploitation of common people by nobles.

Duke took a sip of green tea and thought in his mind: "It seems that the development of the spiritual arcane field, the flames are cooking oil, and the flowers are blooming. The Seven Towers Federation has also become the most powerful human regime, but the progress of sinking to the bottom of society is still not fast enough."

"According to the history I know, the Tower of Learning was originally ranked first from the bottom, and it was not promoted to the fifth position until hundreds of years ago."

"Aside from the Offa Tower and the Stars Tower that only stand in the Holy City of Offa, among the five local towers, the Erudite Tower can be ranked third, higher than the Faling Tower and the Observation Tower."

The seven towers of the Seven Towers Federation are the power structure of the Federation.

The Offa Tower has the highest status, followed by the United Tower, the Stars Tower is the third, the Elements Tower is the fourth, the Knowledge Tower is the fifth, the Observation Tower is the sixth, and the Faling Tower is the last.

"As the most direct authority connecting the upper and lower levels of society, the Erudite Tower has not done a good enough job!"

Put down the newspaper.

Duke walked to his experiment table and began to study the 1-ring slide card.

He has been studying the slide card for a long time, and he can draw and engrave the spell model of the slide card with his eyes closed.

"So the corresponding loop that the slide card can emit light is this part." Now he is going to analyze the function of each part of the loop, "Does the light-emitting structure in the spirit wind lamp also use the function of this part of the loop of the slide card?"

Thinking of this, he immediately rang the rope bell.

Mulali was still recruiting spiritual apprentices. The one who heard the bell was Andre, the attendant who knocked on the door and came in and asked, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Go to the equipment department and get me some spirit lamps."

"OK."

Not long after, Andre came back with five spiritual wind lamps. After getting the spiritual wind lamps, Duke took one of them apart.

There is a special energy loop in the wick, which can be activated when psionic energy is injected.

"It's very interesting. The energy loop of the wick is an incomplete loop, or a section of the loop is intercepted, and the rest of the loop is cut out in the most direct way, and an energy line is firmly welded to the core to ensure the successful operation of a section of the loop."

A formal ring has the ability to operate by itself.

An incomplete ring requires manual intervention to function.

The "core" of the spiritual weapon is an incomplete ring, which intercepts the required part of the complete ring and stimulates its operation through artificial means.

"If I slightly modify the loop of the core... No, no, no, I don't need to modify the loop of the core. I just need to add a fixed reflector outside the lampshade and put a shell on it. Isn't this a flashlight!"

Sometimes it is not technology that restricts the creation of a new thing, but a little inspiration.

The polymaths of the Seven Towers Federation can easily invent spiritual wind lamps and various household lamps. But I didn't expect to fix the light path for them, let the light gather to illuminate a small area, and become a flashlight.

"I'm blinded by a leaf, and I'm used to the spiritual wind lamp, and I almost forgot to invent the flashlight." Duke laughed at himself, and there was a flashlight on his Sand Eagle.

But I rarely use it, so I forgot about the flashlight.

Before he was promoted to an arcanist, he thought about inventing a flashlight, but he had to wait until he was promoted to an arcanist before he could register for a patent.

Otherwise it is easy to be robbed.

Dang Dang Dang.

Mulali knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, five spiritual apprentices have been recruited, one of whom is the leader of your previous research group, Dras. The laboratory and consumables have also been applied for you, and the No. 3 laboratory on the fifth floor is being cleaned up."

"Let Dellas continue to be the team leader and lead the team to do experiments... I will go there after the laboratory is packed and the consumables are in place."

"Oh well."

"By the way, Lili." Duke suddenly thought of something.

Mulali responded immediately: "Sir, what are your orders?"

"Invite your aunt and uncle over for dinner tomorrow night."

"Okay."

After the laboratory was cleaned up in the afternoon and the application for consumables was approved, Xiaoyi had already sorted out the experimental plan for Duke.

Comparing with the experimental plan, Duke quickly assigned tasks to the research team, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

"Drass, help me lead the team."

"My lord, please rest assured that Dras will strictly follow your arrangement and lead the team to carry out the test mission."

"Well, our cooperation was good before, and I believe it will be the same this time." After arranging the task, Duke became the shopkeeper.

Wait until the next day.

Duke has already produced a shoddy flashlight. He slightly modified the spirit wind lamp, and kept the card core and the card machine interface.

The flashlight is as thick as a thigh.

But it is indeed a qualified flashlight, which can concentrate the light on one point, which is several times stronger than the light of the spiritual wind lamp.

Duke held it upside down in his hand, very satisfied: "Improve the appearance again, and then write an application for a patent invention, and then you can go to the Boxue Tower to apply for a patent."

night.

Aunt Virginie cooked a table of dishes.

Butler Morris and Mu Lali were at the entrance of the villa, and Upils and Murusi, who were carrying red wine as a gift, were welcomed in.

"Aunt, uncle, sir is waiting for you in the room."

"Mu Lali, you've grown taller again, and you're even taller and more charming now." Mu Lusi said with a smile while holding her niece's shoulder.

After finishing speaking, she whispered in Mu Lali's ear, "Mu Lali of our family is already a big girl, but she hasn't learned to show the charm of a mature woman. When she has time, go to my aunt's house and let my aunt teach you how to be more charming."

Mu Lali blushed immediately, but she didn't reject her aunt.

After the dinner began, Duke and Upils talked about the business: "I plan to set up a company, but there is no suitable person to help me manage the company, so I would like to ask you to do me a favor and support some of my managers. Of course, investment is also welcome."

"Of course it's okay to support managers." Upils agreed, "I don't know what you want to run a company, sir?"

"Spiritual weapon, some spiritual weapon invented by myself."

"Mr. is actually a polymath." Upils was amazed, but not so surprised. After all, the omnipotence of arcanists has become the consensus of ordinary people.

However, the polymath in his mouth is not the title of polymath, but an elegant name for polymath.

"I invented a gadget, but it's very interesting, and there should be a big market." Duke briefly talked about the idea of the flashlight, "I call it 'handy lamp', which means portable lamps, which are more suitable for hand-holding than spiritual wind lamps."

He has the real thing, but he is not ashamed to show it.

It is mainly the first version of the portable lamp he designed, which is too rough and ugly to take out.

But even if it was just a simple description, Jupils' eyes lit up after simple thinking: "It's like a car light, right, Mr. Duke, this is a great invention, and it should be more practical than the spirit lamp in some occasions."

The portable light is really similar to the car light.

But no polymath has ever thought of removing the headlights and using them in their hands.

"How about it, Mr. Upils, are you interested in investing?"

"Very interesting!"

Before the dinner was over, Duke and Upils finalized the cooperation. Although the company had not yet been established, Upils decided to make an initial investment of 800 gold dragons and obtain 15% of the company's shares.

At the same time, Duke did not forget his little assistant: "I will reserve 15% of the investment quota for your father, which is also 800 gold dragons. Mu Lali, send a letter to your father as soon as possible, and welcome him to send someone to discuss investment."

Mulali smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously: "Sir, I will write a letter tomorrow morning."

After the dinner, Upils solemnly said: "Mr. Duke, the funds will arrive in the account in three days. As for the management personnel, I will go to the company to make arrangements tomorrow, and let them come to prepare a new company for you as soon as possible."

"Troubleshooting."

"Haha, it's all for the Golden Dragon."

After the Upils couple left, Duke called his guard captain Vivienne again: "If I remember correctly, you said before that your father works in the Mercenary Corps?"

"Yes." Vivienne replied, "My father is the deputy head of the Boiling Water Mercenary Corps."

Vivian's father is the illegitimate son of Daozhu Vikas, without the talent of Sanhai, just an ordinary person, who was arranged by Vikas to work in the Boiling Water Mercenary Corps and became the deputy head in charge of logistics.

"I remember the leader of Boiling Water, named Wesk, is your uncle?" Duke asked.

Vivian nodded silently.

"Your father must be uncomfortable working under Wesker." Duke asked again.

Vivian still nodded silently.

Wesker is the legitimate son of Director Vikas, so he will obviously not be so polite to his elder brother who is an illegitimate son.

Vivian also suffered a lot of discrimination since she was a child.

Duke said: "How about asking your father to come and help me, and work in my new company. If he can take out 800 gold dragons, I will also give him 15% of the company's shares."

Vivian raised her head and glanced at Duke in surprise.

A trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and he nodded heavily: "I will tell my father to let him work in your company."

"Very well, this is a family." Duke smiled and patted Vivienne's hand.

Vivian didn't dare to look directly into Duke's eyes, and turned her head to the side, but didn't take her hands away, a blush appeared on her fair face.

"Sir, the money has been received, a total of 55 gold dragons." Mu Lali exchanged the public account spirit dragon card.

She went to the Union Tower to receive the reward for Duke's resistance to the invasion of the bug swarm. The corpses of the spirit insects left by the insect swarm had been cleaned up and converted into money, part of which was distributed as a reward to all arcanists, knights, and mercenaries participating in the exhibition.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Lili, take a good rest in the office and practice meditation by the way. Your recent progress is very weak."

"I know." Mu Lali stuck out her tongue.

As a spiritual apprentice, Mu Lali is actually quite talented, but she doesn't have the perseverance to work hard, so she just wants to be lazy when she has time.

"By the way, boss, I received a reply letter from my family. My father hinted that he couldn't come to Shenjiao City because he couldn't get away. But my mother and uncle will come together. They should arrive in the afternoon to discuss investing in a new company."

"Well, you go pick them up and have dinner together at night."

"Okay."

Looking at the girl who was cheering and bouncing as she walked, Duke couldn't help but smiled and shook his head: "I'm still a child."

Holding non-stop, he is beating the metal material with fighting spirit to make a more refined portable lamp.

Because there needs to be a card machine interface for installing the Chuling card, the portable light cannot be made very delicate, and it still looks a bit bulky.

However, compared with the portable spiritual wind lamp, the portable lamp is undoubtedly much more delicate.

"Duqi is really easy to use. With my hands, it is more powerful than electric welding and hammers. The metal is as docile as mud in my hands." Duke looked at the metal material and was beaten into the desired shape by himself, very satisfied.

Before leaving get off work, the portable light finally took shape.

An adult's arm is thick and short, and the length is about the same as the arm. The overall lamp head is slightly larger, and the core of the original spirit lamp is placed.

There is a card machine interface at the end, and the card slot can barely insert a 1-ring spirit storage card.

Taking out a spiritual storage card full of spiritual energy from the drawer, Duke directly inserted the spiritual storage card into the card slot of the portable lamp, and then pressed the button.

The light from the lamp head trembled, and then a bright beam of light shot out in the office.

"It's beautiful, no different from the flashlights on the earth. After subsequent improvements in shape and energy consumption, it can basically be finalized and launched!"

That night, Duke entertained Mu Lali's mother and uncle at Villa 17 in Beverly Manor, and the Upils couple were also with him.

Babai Jinlong Investment Company was basically not mentioned. As the current patriarch of the Black Snake Family, the Muhans and his wife didn't care about this private money at all. Even if Duke asked for nothing, they were willing to give it, let alone the investment company.

"Shacron, what do you do in Snakehead Town?" Duke asked Mu Lali's uncle.

"Vice-captain of the Snake Head Town Security Knights, Mr. Duke." Shacron is a 1st-ring grand knight, a vassal of the Black Snake family.

"fine."

Originally Duke wanted to recruit Shacron to work in his new company, but considering that he is a vassal of the Black Snake family, forget it, the Black Snake family is even more lacking than him.

Mrs. Sasha stays in the villa at night, sharing the same room with Mu Lali.

Duke originally wanted Shacron to stay overnight, but Shacron was dragged away by Upils. It is a rare trip to Shenjiao City, and he must go outside to be chic.

The next day was the weekend, and Duke held another banquet in the villa.

In addition to Sasha, Shakron, Upils, and Murus, there are also Vivienne's parents, Vuillard and Milona, and several managers of Youshi Clothing Company.

"The giant of light means that our company will rely on the magic weapon of the portable lamp to make a big splash in the field of light sources and grow into a giant!" Duke said the meaning of the company's name with a smile, which attracted applause from everyone.

Vivian's father finally chose to resign from the position of deputy head of the Boiling Water Mercenary Corps, and came to the Light Giant Spirit Tool Company as the general manager.

The financial manager is Mu Lusi.

Other positions are either filled by managers supported by Youshi Clothing Company, or recruited from the society.

Duke only has a consultant title, and he is not planning to participate in the company's operation, nor does he have the time and energy to worry about the development of a small company.

He went to Erudite Tower on the second day after the company was founded.

"Your Excellency Duke, I am your exclusive guide. May I help you?" After Duke showed the blue magic card representing the Arcane Master, the Learning Tower sent a beautiful female staff member to serve him exclusively.

"I want to apply for a patent registration, how should I do it?"

"According to the patent law of the Seven Towers Federation, you need to submit the application, description, claims, abstract, drawings and other documents to the Boxue Tower... After receiving the application, we will gradually review and approve it within one year and announce it to the public."

"Within a year?" Duke frowned.

The exclusive guide explained with a smile: "You are a distinguished arcane master, so your patent application will be reviewed within seven working days. After the review is passed, it will be announced to the public immediately and a certificate of invention patent will be issued to you."

"Okay, apply for me." Duke gestured to his followers and handed over the relevant materials.

As an arcane mage, he enjoys privileges wherever he goes. Ordinary people may have to go through the procedures for several days and months, but Duke can complete them all in one morning.

"This is your application receipt letter, Your Excellency Duke, you can send someone with the receipt letter at any time to inquire about the progress and get back the patented invention certificate."

The exclusive guide handed a reply letter to Duke's entourage, and continued: "In addition, if your patent is authorized, you need to submit a patent authorization document... You have already understood the relevant information. I wish you an early promotion to polymath."

Five days later, Duke's invention patent for portable lamps passed the review.

Accompanied by the certificate of invention, there is also an honorary letter of appointment from the Erudite Tower as a "erudite teacher". I hope that Duke will continue to work hard to invent more learned things and contribute to the people and society.

didn't wait for Duke to walk out of the Tower of Knowledge.

A middle-aged man in brocade clothes came forward quickly: "Your Excellency Duke, please stay."

"Who are you?"

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the business manager of Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory, Stephen Sun." The middle-aged man smiled and bowed, "I learned that you have applied for a patent for a portable lamp and want to purchase this patent on behalf of Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory."

"Buy my portable light patent?" Duke smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, not for sale."

Stephen Sun said: "We, Runwanjia Lingqi Factory, have always been willing to give up on invention patents. Don't you want to hear my quotation?"

"Oh, then report it."

"1,300 golden dragons!" Stephen Sun gave a price that he thought was quite high, "Our chairman, Your Excellency Clarinda, is very friendly to you, an arcanist with potential as a polymath, and is willing to give you a high price that you are satisfied with."

"Your Excellency Clarinda, Director of the Observation Tower?" The smile on Duke's face remained unchanged, and he started to walk towards the shuttle parked by the roadside. "Sorry, I still don't want to sell."

Kleinda is a 3-ring arcane mage.

From his ancestors, he inherited the Runwanjia Spiritual Artifact Factory, and has developed into the largest spiritual weapon manufacturer in Heijiaohe until today.

"Isn't 1300 Jinlong not enough for your ideal price?" Stephen Sun asked.

"Perhaps it seems a lot to you." Duke got on the shuttle and looked at Stephenson standing outside the car window, "but it is far from the value in my heart."

The shuttle started, rushed out without a sound, and disappeared on the street in an instant.

Leave Stephen Sun frowning, showing disdain: "It's just a small invention. If it weren't for the status of an arcanist, three hundred gold dragons wouldn't be worth it!"

The shuttle stopped in front of a low building in the western suburbs.

The low building is being renovated, the signboard on the foyer has just been removed, and then the workers are replacing the new signboard.

"Light Giant Spirit Tool Company."

Here is Duke's new company, which bought a small building as an office. As for the factory, it is across the road, where it is still a wasteland.

However, the construction team has already arrived, and large trucks are pulling a large number of puppets to this wasteland, and will use the fastest speed to build it into a factory that can emit billowing black smoke.

"The R&D department has just been established, and we have recruited two designers from Runwanjia Lingqi Factory, and we are optimizing and finalizing the portable lamp." General Manager Vuillard reported to Duke, "The marketing department has also been established, and we are going to start from the urban area, running spirit equipment stores one by one."

"What about ads?"

“The sales department is responsible for advertising. Because the product has not been designed yet, the publicity plan has not yet been drawn up.”

"Yes." Duke nodded.

He has a lot of sales ideas in his mind, but he doesn't plan to intervene in the company's operations. With the time for the business war, he might as well release the mage's hand twice more to increase his proficiency.

He said to Vuillard: "I have asked someone to write a patent production license, and the follow-up patent application for the portable lamp is also planned. You should not be limited to the portable lamp, let the R&D department use their brains to develop more forms of lamps on the basis of the portable lamp."

"Yes, I will follow your instructions." Vuillard took a deep breath.

He is in the Boiling Water Mercenary Corps. He is the deputy head in name, but he is actually suppressed, not because he is an illegitimate child.

It's because Sanhai has not awakened, she is just an ordinary person.

In the arcanist family, there is no difference between ordinary people and trash.

But now he finally got the opportunity to show his strengths, and he was thinking about doing something, not to make people in the family look down on him, but to help his daughter.

Looking at the back of Duke leaving, he knew that his daughter would have an illegitimate child sooner or later.

"It's not so easy to live in the family of an arcanist. Vivienne is too rigid, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to please."

Looking for tickets~
