Studying Science in the Alternate World Chapter 207

  Chapter 207 Joke

  Pocket lamps are very popular, but few people ask about aura lamps.

   From the beginning of the light war, there was an overwhelming situation.

  However, the market in Shenjiao City itself is so big, and the total population of the entire Heijiaohe area is only 9 million. Even if each person has a portable lamp, the sales of lamps are limited.

  So the real battlefield is in the entire Wind Breath field.

  Duke launched this commercial war, but he did not continue to follow up. The plan has already been made, and now it only needs to be implemented step by step.

   He can't do everything by himself.

  It's time to calm down and focus on the practice itself.

   "Recently, the number of leave is a bit frequent, but it's also strange. The tutor doesn't seem to mind your leave at all."

  Assistant Vikas, from time to time, he would come to Duke's office for a stroll and share some information with him.

  Duke said with emotion: "At first I thought the instructor was unkind, but after in-depth contact, I realized that the instructor is cold outside and hot inside, and he can tolerate everything I do outside the tower. As long as I can keep up with his teaching progress, everything will not be a problem."

  He really thinks that the Penrose mentor is a good person.

  Originally, Penrose was very indifferent to him. Even if he showed a good talent, it didn't change anything. At one time, he thought that Penrose didn't like him.

but now.

   You only need to set aside one Thursday afternoon every week to accept Penrose's teaching. No matter what Duke does at other times, Penrose can tolerate it.

   Very easy to talk to.

   "It's you, with good talent, that's why the instructor tolerates you so much. You don't even mind that you study with Your Excellency Suktara." Vikas shook his head and said, "If it's the former Sanfis, 80% of them will be directly expelled by the instructor."

   "However, Sanfis has changed his luck. I heard that in the Scott Mage Tower, his studies went very smoothly, and he successfully demonstrated his medical talent."

   "But medicine is just a small way, and the future of treating diseases for ordinary people is really limited."

   "Maybe." Duke said perfunctorily.

  Although the Seven Towers Federation has gradually abolished the aristocratic system, arcanists are still uncrowned nobles, standing high above and not looking down on ordinary people.

  Even polymaths who claim to benefit the bottom of society and promote social development are just exploring the mysteries of spirituality through the study of natural history. Polymaths don't care much about whether natural history can benefit the common people.

   If one were to open up the Three Seas and become a monk, it would be a complete rebirth.

  Becoming an Arcane Mage is another qualitative leap, basically completing an extraordinary change, and no longer living in the same world as the public.

   "By the way, how is your arcane card production going?" After chatting for a while, Vikas began to investigate Duke's studies.

   "I'm trying to make a ring 1 arcane card - the hand of the mage. It's expected to take another month, and I should be able to make it successfully."

  During this period of time, although he was half-hearted, doing research, starting a company, and learning alchemy, he still kept practicing his card making skills every day.

  Common 1st-ring civil cards, Spirit Dragon Card, Chuling Card, Slide Card, Driver Card, Magic Spirit Card...there are more than 30 kinds in total, and he has successfully produced all of them, but there is only one proficiency issue.

   Compared with civilian cards that only need to be engraved with psionic drawing, arcane cards are more complicated, so he hasn't succeeded in making one yet.

  In each production, there are countless variations in the use of spiritual power of different attributes, which requires a lot of exploration.

   Although Xiaoyi has super computing power, it is like a supercomputer.

   But it is only artificial intelligence after all, not real wisdom, and all kinds of analysis of spirituality are based on big data.

   In other words, Xiaoyi is the ultimate embodiment of rationality.

  It's just the spiritual mysteries studied by arcane masters, but not all of them are composed of rational parts, and there are also a lot of emotional parts.

   For this part of the analysis, Xiaoyi is a bit clumsy, and Duke needs to grasp it.

Then.

  Duke felt deeply that there was a huge gap between himself and the title of "Genius Arcane Master".

  According to the example given by Penrose's mentor in his teaching, an arcanist with card-making talent will follow spiritual guidance in the card-making process, and choose the most accurate one among thousands of combinations.

   This is the emotional part of the spiritual arcana.

   It is also the reason why the spiritual mystery is called "spirituality".

   Without this part of perceptual ability, one cannot become an excellent card maker, and Duke is precisely weak in this part of perceptual ability.

   "I have Xiaoyi's help, and the emotional part is a bit weak. As long as the rationality is strong enough, I can still skillfully create cards... A real card maker, spirituality will guide him to draw the spell model in the most suitable way. I rely on Xiaoyi to calculate in a stupid way, each other!"

   He sighed in his heart.

  Vikas' assistant didn't know why, and he was also feeling emotional: “Although I think you are distracted too much and don't put enough energy into card making, you have performed better than any student I have ever seen.”

  Paused, he continued: "So for a genius arcanist like you, I don't need to make decisions for you, you can allocate your study energy by yourself."

  "You have helped me a lot, and my success is inseparable from your teaching."

   "Haha, I don't dare to do it." Assistant Vikas said that he didn't dare to do it, but the expression on his face was quite smug.

  If Duke can succeed, he can get some credit no matter what.

in this way.

   In the blink of an eye, it was mid-October, and the sales department of the Giant of Light continued to attack, and achieved certain results in the eight regions under the jurisdiction of the Wind Breath Domain.

  However, accompanied by the 3rd Ring Arcane Mage Kleinda, he visited the Spike City in the Saponaria region, and after socializing with the 3rd Ring Arcane Master Mesta in the Spike City, there was a large-scale distribution of aura lamps in the Spike City, and the low price dumping generally hit the sales of portable lights.

  Afterwards, Rainbow Bay City in the bubble area, Nujiao City in the Huoyou area, and Blade City in the Knife Mountain area all sold a large number of aura lamps at low prices.

   It has a bad influence on the sales of the light giant's portable lamp.

   "My lord, the Runwan family has already made a move. Five of the eight major regions have been strongly blocked by the Runwan family." Vuillard came to the Penrose Mage Tower and reported to Duke. "However, our legal department has already sued the Runwan family for infringement in eight cities in eight cities according to your previous instructions."

  Duke responded while flipping through the newspaper: "Then according to the established plan, we will fight against Runwanjia with real knives and guns. There is nothing to be afraid of. As long as Runwanjia can't cover the sky with one hand, we will fight him to the end and spread the stall as much as possible."

"clear."

   "Go, tell me if you don't have enough money, at worst we will raise another round."

   "Don't disturb your work, sir, I'll go back and make arrangements, and strive to win sales in more than four regions as soon as possible."

  After get off work in the evening, Duke went straight to Tower 1 after dinner.

  Before the teaching started, Suktara asked: "Is there anything I can help in the competition between the Giant of Light and Runwanjia?"

  She is the internal director of the United Tower. Although she is no longer in charge of things personally, as long as she wants to ask about the big and small things that happen in Shenjiao City, no one can hide from her.

   "Teacher, everything is under control, and I haven't deviated from my plan yet. If something unexpected happens, I will ask the teacher for support."

   "It's good if you have confidence." Suktara said gently, "Oh, yes, I asked His Excellency Irwin during the meeting in the Union Tower today. He said that the Erwin Tower has applied for the title of Erudite for you. Currently, the Erudite Tower in Runwu City has accepted the application and is under investigation."

   "Applied for the title of polymath for me?" Duke was pleasantly surprised.

   "Don't underestimate the portable lamp. Your Excellency Irwin speaks highly of it. And I found that many people in the castle have bought portable lamps, especially the knights who patrol at night. Everyone has a portable lamp, which shows its influence."

   "This is really a surprise." Duke laughed.

   In fact, it is not surprising that the invention of natural history focuses on two aspects. One aspect is value, and the other is practicality.

   There is no need to repeat the inventions of great value.

   And practicality is also the focus of natural history. An invention may not have so much technical content, but it can be popularized and benefit the public. Then this invention is also one of the major inventions of natural history.

  The value of portable light lies in its practicality.

   "The competition between the Giant of Light and Runwanjia, and the infringement turmoil between portable lamps and aura lamps may have a certain negative impact on your polymath title examination." Suktala said, "But after you come up with the technology of strong light hand lamps, there will be no obstacles."

   "Having said that, but if we don't hurt Run Wanjia, Your Excellency Kleinda will attack the Giant of Light sooner or later, so I can only wait and hide a hand of cards."

   "Clarinda, this man is used to domineering."

   "Teacher, can you tell me about Lord Clarinda? In the book "The Spirituality of Heijiaohe Land", there are not many descriptions of him."

   "Klarinda..." Suktara fell into memory.

  Klarinda is a generation younger than Suktara. She was born in a non-noble arcanist family. She has shown outstanding talent since she was a child. After being promoted to an arcanist, she chose arcanist as her future evolution direction.

  Smoothly advance to the 3rd ring all the way, and with outstanding military exploits, established a great reputation, it is considered that sooner or later he will advance to the 4th ring.

  It's a pity that heaven fails to fulfill people's wishes.

   During a battle to open up a foreign land, Clarinda was severely injured by a sub-dragon, and even the spiritual core in the spiritual sea was crushed.

  Although after being rescued later, the spiritual core was re-condensed.

  But with the broken and reassembled spiritual core, it is already difficult to make progress, especially in the cultivation of arcane arts.

   As a last resort, he settled for the next best thing, trying to find some way in the field of arcane law.

  It's a pity that I don't have the talent of an arcane scholar, and I haven't researched one, two, three in any field. In the end, I inherited the family's Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory and focused on making money.

   "Maybe it's an obsession. I guess he really wants to get a scholar title to prove himself." Suktara shook his head and said, "It's a pity that none of the patents he can buy can meet the standard of a scholar title. After all, who will sell a really good invention? This is the foundation for the promotion of a polymath."

   said.

  Suktara mentioned a joke: "It is said that a few years ago, Clarinda went to the Tower of Learning to make a fuss, and almost got into a fight with Lord Erwin."

   "How do you say that?" Duke became interested.

   "It seems that Clarinda bought a patent called the continuous supply patina technology from somewhere, and asked Erwin to apply for the title of polymath for him. Erwin thought that the invention was not high enough, and refused to apply for him, so there was a quarrel."

   "Ah!" Duke exclaimed.

  Suktara gave him a strange look: "What are you, arcane masters are also human beings, and naturally have emotions and desires, so it's normal to have some friction."

   "No, teacher, how should I put it... The matter of Your Excellency Clarinda is still rooted in me."

   "In you? What do you mean, you weren't an arcanist a few years ago, you were just a child who didn't grow up?" Suktara didn't know why.

  Duke smiled and said: "To be precise, when I was fifteen years old, I worked in a card repair shop. I didn't have half a penny in my pocket. In order to collect money to buy the awakening potion, I racked my brains to find a way out, and finally I came up with a good idea."

  He talked about the story at that time: "I saw the card repairers using the pulp box to pick and search, and I thought it would be possible... I sold this idea to the shop owner at the time, and the shop owner told me later that he sold it to someone else..."

   "It's such a coincidence that you also invented the patina supply technology?" Suktala was really surprised.

   "I invented it well, but I have already sold it. Since it was bought by Clarinda, it is his technology."

   "Haha, you're quite open-minded, but don't you mind if the teacher shares this fun thing with friends outside?" Suktara was old-hearted, smiling like an old urchin, obviously thinking about something bad in his heart.

  Duke smiled: "I don't mind."

   After going around and around, the technology of even feeding and patina fell into the hands of Clarinda, which just gave Duke a chance to ridicule the other party.

   "Want the title of polymath?" He chuckled inwardly, "You can ask me, but I don't necessarily give it."

   After chatting about the mundane things, calm down, the master and apprentice started teaching, one taught sincerely, the other studied sincerely, time passed quickly.

   "Philbert, how are you doing recently?"

   "Teacher, I spend my days in Faling Pagoda every day, but you always got what you wanted and found a suitable successor, with a constant smile." Philibel, the director of Faling Pagoda, smiled and took the arm of her former teacher, Suktara.

  After supporting Suktara to sit down, she smiled again: "I also heard that you are so cruel that even Sorel was driven away by you."

  "Sorrell boy, alas, it's a pity to say it. I originally thought that if I couldn't find a successor, I would use him to make do with it... But who would have thought that the spirituality brought me Duke. This child is a born arcanist."

   "When you mention Duke, you are full of praise. It seems that Duke really fulfilled your wish."

   "Isn't it? Speaking of Duke, I thought of a funny thing." Suktara's rosy face was full of smiles, "Do you still remember the joke that Kleinda made in the Boxue Tower two or three years ago? I didn't know that the technology he bought was invented by Duke!"

   "Ah, it turned out to be like this, what a coincidence."

   Not long after, Philibel, who was dawdling in her life, invited her two sisters who were good arcane masters to dinner, and then made a joke out of it.

  Learn Tower.

  Azigul, head of the legal department, looked at his secretary indifferently: "Is the lawyer of the Giant of Light still making trouble?"

   "Yes, my lord, those lawyers did not act out of line. They just pulled the other person when they saw a person, and chatted with him about the case against the Runwan family by the Giant of Light. They also said that they lived in a hotel not far away, just to wait for the result."

   "Tricky move!" Aziguli sneered, "Arcanists from the countryside know this tricky trick, so don't worry about it."

  The secretary didn't leave, but hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

   Aziguli frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"

   "I have something, I don't know if I should tell you."

"explain!"

   "Yes, my lord, I heard it from the outside... It is said that Lord Clarinda made a fuss about the technology of continuous supply and encapsulation in the Erudite Tower before. The original inventor was actually the Lord Duke. It is said that Lord Duke sold the technology in order to save money to buy the awakening potion."

   "Is it true?" Aziguli frowned even deeper, "Even Duke invented the patina technology?"

   "I have asked about the source. It is said that it came from the mouths of several arcane masters. There should be no mistakes, right?"

   "Okay, what a mess, it doesn't matter if it was invented by Duke, the patent is in the hands of Kleinda, so it is Kleinda's invention!" Azigul said with a sullen face, "Warning those employees who spread the word, keep your mouth shut!"

   "Yes, I'll go and warn those nonchalant employees." The secretary left in a hurry.

  Aziguli corrected a few documents in the office, checked the time, then got up and went to the conference room of the Boxue Tower for a meeting.

  In the conference room, Chief Director Erwin has arrived early.

  After seeing Aziguli, he greeted with a smile: "Come and sit down first, there are still two people not here, let's wait."

   "Okay, chief director." Aziguli sat on her chair upright.

   Erwin put one foot on the chair without any image, leaned to the other side, and said in a normal way: "Azigul, let me ask you. You are familiar with Kleinda. I don't know if you know something."

   "Excuse me."

   "Recently, Runwanjia has had a lively fight with the Giant of Light. In the case of patent infringement, what does Kleinda think? Do you really want to continue to infringe?"

   "Chief director, the infringement case is still under trial. I am collecting relevant evidence. It may be too early to declare infringement now." Aziguli pushed back neither soft nor hard.

   "You are in charge of the legal department, you have the final say, ha ha." Erwin smiled, "I just want to ask, when Clarinda came to Boxue Tower to make troubles, did he buy the continuous supply and patina technology from Duke?

   Several other arcanists echoed Erwin and laughed.

  The meeting room is full of joy.

   "It's groundless, the chief director, why use it as a joke." Only Aziguli didn't smile, and put the joke back with a cold face, "Besides, since patents are allowed to be traded, why is buying and selling patents so ridiculous!"

  Erwin didn't care about Azigul's attitude at all: "Of course patents can be bought and sold, and our Erudition Tower also encourages them, but it's a big joke to use the patents we bought to attack the title of Erudite. Fortunately, I didn't apply for him. Otherwise, I would be ashamed to see Duke."

   "I only know that I have to follow the rules, but I'm not interested in going back to the source. Besides, the sale of patents is all voluntary, and I don't cherish it. Why should others complain for him?"

   "That's what I said, but the polymath still has to rely on his real skills to win, don't you think so?" Erwin looked around at the crowd.

   Several Arcane Masters nodded one after another: "That's the reason."

   Aziguli watched coldly, and stood up simply when she saw this: "Am I here for a meeting or a chat? Chief director, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

   "Okay, you have to be busy, you don't have to attend this meeting." Erwin waved his hand.

   Aziguli got up and left directly.

  After the meeting was over, Erwin returned to his office. After the secretary closed the door, he immediately asked, "Grandfather, why did you offend Your Excellency Azigul again?"

   "So what if you are offended. As the chief director of your great-grandfather, you were chosen in a friendly manner?" Erwin picked up the teacup and stuffed it into the hands of the secretary and great-grandson.

   "Isn't this harmony making money? Besides, there has never been any conflict between our family and His Excellency Azigul's family."

   "Actually, your great-grandfather has long been unhappy with Aziguli and Kleinda. The two colluded together and relied on Runwanjia to **** patents everywhere. I didn't know that they thought Runwanjia was the tower of learning." Erwin showed disdain, "The food is too ugly."

   "Isn't everyone doing this?" The secretary muttered. In his opinion, it is only natural for arcanists to monopolize resources.

   "He can grab any bowl of rice, but he can't grab the rice from Boxue Tower. This is your great-grandpa's territory!"

   "Grandpa, when Master Keyston has retired, you are not allowed to sit in the Union Tower!"

   "Hehe, quit?" Erwin stretched out his leg and kicked his great-grandson, "I think about Keyston quitting all day long, so he is really willing to quit, wouldn't there be Williams and Stephen Maverick competing with me, besides, heh, he might not be willing to quit."

   "But Master Keyston has said in public several times that he will retire."

   "It's just talking, whoever is serious is stupid."

   "How can you be so dishonest..."

   "Hey, my great-grandfather really thinks that he wants to send you outside to hone his training, and keep you by my side. I feel like I've raised a fool."

  Erwin looked at the naive great-grandson, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Tomorrow, you hand in a resignation report yourself, and go outside to find a place to hone. I don't care where the hone is trained. In short, don't appear in front of me before you are promoted to the Arcane Master."

   "Ah, great grandfather!"

   "Get out of here."

   After driving away his favorite great-grandson, Erwin is still a little upset.

   Suddenly thought of Suktara: "This old woman is thicker than me... I should have been thick-skinned and asked Duke to come to me. Such a good seed was snatched away by Suktara! Isn't it good to be an alchemist, a polymath?"

  If we talk about the invention of the portable lamp, it can only be regarded as an accidental inspiration.

   Then knowing that the continuous feeding patina technology was actually invented by Duke, Erwin understood that Duke's talent in natural history is absolutely unusual.

   Besides, there is also the built-in storage card technology, which is also an invention that he admires quite a lot.

   "Blessed with such three technologies, a title of polymath cannot be escaped. If I become his teacher, this will definitely be a big plus when evaluating the title of polymath and sage in the future!" Erwin rubbed his chin, "Do you want to grab it?"

  Thinking and thinking, finally heaved a long sigh: "Forget it, the old woman and I are old acquaintances. We have known each other for more than a hundred years. It is really embarrassing to rob students."

   Suktara, who didn't know that his student was almost robbed, is currently sorting out his notes for many years in his mage tower.

  Her life of one hundred and sixty years.

  Dedicated to the field of alchemy, I don't know how many experiments I have done and how many notebooks I have left. Some research topics have long been forgotten by myself.

   Now take it out and sort it out, which is just convenient for teaching Duke.

  "Since fifty years ago, I have devoted almost all my energy to the direction of ring reproduction materials. Alas, the most regrettable thing is that I failed to advance to the 4th ring, and personally experience the structure of the projection ring"

  Suktara wiped the dust off the notes, turned the pages of the book, feeling mixed feelings.

  For the past, for the future.

  There are too many thoughts.

   After a long time, she slowly closed the note: "When Duke is on the right track, I will let go of this old face and ask Keston Rage, Williams, Irving, Stephen Maverick, and that Bernoulli to cooperate with me in performing the ring of projection and do the last experiment!"

  The precious experience left by the experiment was her last help to Duke.

   It is also her last effort in the direction of ring reproduction materials.

   Looking for tickets~
