MTL - Studying Science in the Alternate World-Chapter 234 songstress of dreamworks

  Chapter 234 The Diva of DreamWorks

  The birthday party was not as cheerful and lively as planned by Sanfis and Joanna Lynx. There was no other reason. Duke’s identity brought pressure to others.

   After all, heartless arcanists like Sanfis and Joanna belong to the minority.

  Oliana, Balza and other former colleagues and friends couldn’t let go in front of Duke, and were afraid of the deterrence brought by the erudite sage.

   "Now I finally understand the power of academics." Jodick Lynx stood with his younger sister Joanna holding a wine glass, "Even Penrose can't let go of airs in front of Duke, which is enough to show how high the status of the title of sage is."

  Joanna shook her head and said: "Do you understand now, brother, you are too slow, didn't dad warn you that Duke is now a higher status than him?"

   "It warned me, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't feel it."

   "It's not too late to feel it now."

   "Tsk tsk." Jodick saw Kiria with a quiet smile in the crowd, and couldn't help but tsk twice in disappointment, "It's a pity that you are not as beautiful as Kiria, otherwise, our Bobcat family will be able to recruit a wise son-in-law."

  Joanna rolled her eyes when she heard the words: "You can really imagine."

   "Don't tell me you're not interested in Duke. I can imagine with my toes how obsessed women are with this kind of capable little boy."

   "Since your toes are so smart, I suggest you change your head and toes, so that maybe a scholar will be born in our family without me having to recruit a husband." Joanna refuted her brother mercilessly.

  But deep down in my heart, there may be a sense of loss.

  Duke's excellence is obvious to all.

  Unless Joanna has a unique aesthetic, Duke is the most perfect object in her heart, but unfortunately she knows very well that she is not worthy of Duke at all.

  Nineteen-year-old erudite sage, nineteen-year-old second-ring arcane mage, destined to become a great existence like an arcane teacher in the future.

   "And my future...Maybe Master Suktara, or Master Azigul, is the template for my future." Joanna took a sip of the red wine in the glass, thinking a little wistfully in her heart.

  In Heijiaohe Land, Suktala and Aziguli are the only female 3-ring arcane mages.

   Basically, these two are the ceiling for women.

  Joanna doesn't think she has extraordinary talent. It is difficult to surpass the two of them, to be promoted to the 4th Ring Earth Arcane Mage, or even to reach the height of the two of them.

   "A flower in Shenjiao City is really beautiful." Jodick didn't know what his sister was thinking, he shook his head and said, "The Nutao family always likes to marry with the big nobles in other cities. I didn't expect that the best offspring would stay in Shenjiao City."

  He took a sip of his wine and sighed, "Duke is very capable!"

  Joanna followed her brother's gaze. At the reception not far away, Kylia followed Duke, as if she was her partner.

   She squinted her eyes.

  My heart became more and more bitter, but soon it turned into ridicule, and I crazily complained in my heart: "I am not worthy of Duke, and you may not be worthy... If you are not good enough, you will not be able to keep up with Duke's footsteps. You must know that Duke's future must be in the Holy City of Alfa!"

  The Nutao family, that is, the overlords of the small border cities, cannot be compared with the real nobles of the Holy City of Arcane.

   "In front of me, you can be called the girl of heaven, and when you arrive in the Holy City of Alfa, you will be a country girl!"

  Although it is very cool to complain in my heart.

  But the wine at the birthday party, Joanna drank it, and she always felt uncomfortable. In the past, she would be very enthusiastic to join Duke, but this time, drinking the depressed red wine, she didn't even have the mood to tease Duke at all.

   Seeing his sister's appearance, Jodick seemed to feel something, but he didn't say anything, just patted his sister on the shoulder.

   Immediately, he saw a female arcanist approaching, and he immediately got up to greet her: "Hi, Margot, long time no see."

  Margot greeted Jodick with a smile.

   After chatting for a few words, Margot was made to giggle, and then walked out of the banquet hall together.

   On the other side, after everyone greeted the guests, Duke walked out of the noise and went to the rest room in Tower 2.

  Mentor Penrose is chatting with Suktara.

  After seeing Duke, he couldn't help but think of something, and wanted to stand up to greet him, but he couldn't hold back his face.

   Seeing Penrose's embarrassment, Duke sat directly on the sofa: "Mentor, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you still busy with the previous project?"

   "Yes, this subject is not easy to solve." Penrose nodded, "Duke... Your Excellency, you have recently..."

   "Mentor, you should call me Duke."

   "That can't be done, it's not what it used to be, your teacher can call you Duke, I'm just your former mentor." Penrose shook his head, "In terms of status, you rank far ahead of me in the Five Towers Conference in Shenjiao City, so don't take it lightly."

  The Five Towers Conference is the power center of Shenjiao City and even the entire Heijiaohe region.

  Originally there were only seven people, Keston Rage, Williams, Irving, Stephen Maverick, Aurucci, Jovis Bobcat and Penrose.

   Now expanded to nine people.

  There are more Bernoulli and Duke, and the rankings are clearly arranged-Bernoulli is fifth, Duke is sixth, and from Orucci down, each is delayed by two places.

   "Whatever, it's up to you."

   "I heard from your teacher that you refused to go to the Tower of Erudition for further study?"

   "Yes, natural history is a subject that sinks into the society in various fields, and its essence is still to study various mainstream fields. Therefore, going to the Tower of Erudition for further study will not help me much. I still decided to follow the teacher to learn alchemy."

   "Alchemy is a good direction." Penrose responded.

  Duke said with a smile: "I think so too. The more I study, the more I feel that the field of alchemy has broad prospects for development. The most important thing is that I think the field of alchemy, like the field of card making, is easy to link with natural science."

  Suktara asked with a smile: "It seems that you have any new inspiration for learning?"

   "It does exist, but it needs to be kept secret for the time being, and it may take a long time of study and research before the inspiration can be realized."

  Penrose sighed in admiration: "I really envy you, you are young and passionate. At my age, I feel more and more lacking in energy. It is not physical energy, but spiritual energy. Many researches are powerless."

  Suktara said bluntly: "I don't think your lack of energy is related to your age. You are too obsessed with government affairs and divided your mind."

  Paused, she continued: "You really should resign from the ruling position of the Union Tower, concentrate on studying knowledge, and strive to break through the 4th ring."

   "Perhaps." Penrose said perfunctorily.

  But he is absolutely unwilling to let him resign from the seat of the United Towers. Although he is only the last one in the Five Towers Conference, he is still obsessed with the power he holds.

   Whether it can break through the 4th ring is a matter of fate.

   But power needs to be held tightly in the palm of your hand.

  In case the power is delegated and fails to break through, it will not be so easy to return to the power center again.

   Wait until the birthday party is over.

  After seeing off all the guests, Duke and Suktara took a walk under the shade of the trees in the castle. Suktara sighed and said, "Penrose is very talented, but unfortunately, some are obsessed with power and cannot devote all their attention to research."

   "Everyone has their own pursuit." Duke replied.

   "Although that is the case, why should an arcane master be obsessed with power in his hands? We must know that the source of power is not power itself." Suktara said somewhat seriously, "There are two sources of power, one is your cultivation strength, and the other is your academic achievements."

   "That's true."

   "Penrose just forgot this point. Of course, maybe he didn't forget it, but he no longer has the motivation to fight."

   There are some things Suktara didn't say.

   In her opinion, Penrose's coming to Duke's birthday party was a sign of depravity. As a mentor but being surpassed by students, if Penrose is confident, he should study behind closed doors and seek a breakthrough to himself.

   In this way, when we meet Duke again, we won’t be embarrassed.

  It's a pity that Penrose chose to lie flat, and even began to be a little proud of enlightening students like Duke, and didn't think about making progress.

   sighed.

  Suktara said with emotion: "In fact, the atmosphere of the entire Seven Towers Federation has become a little lazy."

   "This is indeed the case." Duke's previous trip to the Alfa Holy City had a clear feeling about this. "Once the class is solidified, the atmosphere will naturally decline."

   Fortunately, there is still a pioneering war.

  You can continue to ask for resources from the forest to support the entire Seven Towers Federation, ensuring that the Seven Towers Federation can still flourish.

   "What I am most satisfied with is that there are still young people like you in this country who are constantly pouring out." Suktara looked at his students with a smile and revealed his satisfaction, "It proves that we are on the right path of spiritual exploration!"

  Duke said with a smile: "For the teacher's expectation, I also have to work hard to climb new peaks on the road of spiritual mysteries."

   "Teacher believes in you, it will be possible."

  Both the teacher and the student, admiring each other, walked back and forth along the road under the shade of the trees, both of them had full confidence in the future.

  …

   time to enter July.

  The Suktala Mage Tower gradually regained its excitement. It wasn’t that the former Arcane Mage students came back, but that under Duke’s lead, the Suktara Mage Tower was opened to the outside world for cooperation.

  The R&D department of Giant of Light Spirit Tool Company and the technology department of DreamWorks Film and Television Company have both settled in the Suktara Mage Tower.

  With the help of the resources of the Suktara Mage Tower, carry out technical research and development.

   Or it can be said that it is convenient for Duke to lead the technology upgrade of the two companies. On the one hand, he uses natural history to improve his understanding of spiritual mysteries, and on the other hand, he can store more technologies to stabilize the company's development and earn resources.

   "My lord, this is the latest energy-saving lamp produced by the research and development team, please have a look." The leader of the research and development team brought a sample to Duke.

  A lamp similar to a portable lamp.

  Duke took the energy-saving lamp, turned on the switch, and found that the brightness of the lamp head was not bad, but the consumption of bright light was greatly reduced.

   "Yes, this energy-saving lamp is basically mature." Duke nodded with satisfaction, "Next, in the name of the giant of light, go to apply for a patent."

  After returning to Shenjiao City for more than a month, in addition to learning the knowledge of alchemy, Duke has been leading the research and development of energy-saving lamps.

  Although the strong light technology is good, it consumes a lot of energy.

  After the ordinary people replace the strong light lamps, the family expenses will increase significantly.

  As a erudite sage who cares about the people and is down-to-earth, Duke can naturally realize this, so he thought of energy-saving lamps.

  Through the material of the wick and the optimization of the structure, reduce the spiritual energy consumption as much as possible.

   "Yes, my lord." The leader of the research and development team bowed to leave.

   Now that Duke has a high status, he no longer needs to be as cautious as before and hold patent rights in his hands.

  So the patented technology of energy-saving lamps is directly applied in the name of Light Giant Spirit Tool Company.

certainly.

  As the leader of patented inventions, his financial team will still sign a contract with the Giant of Light to stipulate the revenue share.

  Duke is not working for nothing, after all, he only holds 25% of the shares of Giant of Light.

   "The technology of energy-saving lamps is actually good. Strictly speaking, it has higher technical content than portable lamps and strong lights. It involves the magic model of the wick and the overall structure of the lamp head...but it can't bring me more benefits except for a little bit of spiritual arcana awareness."

  Strong light technology won the title of polymath for Duke.

   Film and television technology, and he was awarded the title of erudite sage.

  But now Duke's academic goal is only the chief sage of Offata. Unless he invents a big killer like communication technology, ordinary naturalist inventions are not qualified.

   "But there is no need to worry. Communication technology will be invented sooner or later. You don't even need to invent communication technology. You only need to conquer the ring copying material, so that ordinary arcanists can master the projection ring technology of Great Arcane Masters. Then, the chief sage of Arcane Tower must have a place for me!"

   rubbed his brows.

  Duke leaned back in his chair, and on the test bench in front of him, a crystal arm was quickly manipulating certain alchemy materials.

  After using the Austrian hand, Duke gradually became too lazy to use his own hands.

  The human body has limitations such as bones and muscles after all, and it is impossible to make movements beyond this framework, but the Olympic hand is different.

  Anything that can be imagined by the mind, can be operated by the expert.

   Dang Dang Dang.

   There was a knock on the door, and Mu Lali opened the door and came in: "Sir, Your Excellency Terrence has something to ask for you."

   "Ask him to come in."

"OK."

   As the only arcane mage staying in Suktala, Terrence has now become Duke's assistant and the steward of the entire mage tower.

   Daily affairs, large and small, are handled by him.

"grown ups."

   "Sit, Terrence."

   "Mai's puppet group made preliminary contact with our Suktara Mage Tower, and they want to cooperate with the laboratory here for the research and development of puppet manufacturing materials." Terrence said, "And want to station an arcanist."

   "Which arcanist?"

   "Sireth."

   "Seres..." All the information of Master Sereso quickly appeared on the holographic screen in Duke's eyes.

  "Aged 42 years old, an arcane mage of the 1st ring, working in the tower of the mage McCoff. His father is the late 2nd ring arcanist and puppet scholar Samuel, and his wife is the granddaughter of the third ring arcanist, puppet scholar, and chairman of the Mai's Puppet Group."

  Samuel…

  Duke remembered his collection, the six-legged spirit puppet jar, this puppet from the cabin in the woods, the maker's name was Samuel.

   But Samuel died more than ten years ago.

  His son Siris, inherited his talent, and married Mycroft's granddaughter, and has been working in the Mycroft Mage Tower.

   "Please ask Sirius to come back later, and I will interview him personally." Duke quickly made a decision, "If he passes my interview, let him be stationed in the Suktara Mage Tower and be responsible for the management of the puppet manufacturing material laboratory."

   "Okay, I'm going to contact Sirius right now."

   Then.

  The meeting with Sirius went well.

  The forty-two-year-old Siris has always been very respectful in front of Duke, and has not inadvertently despised Duke because of his youth.

  So Duke quickly confirmed the entry of Seris, and at the same time signed a cooperative laboratory agreement with the McPuppet Group. Mai's Puppet Group became the third cooperative research and development company of Suktara Master Tower, and a large number of employees moved here.

  Suktara Mage Tower has become more lively.

   "Since Sorel and the others left, this mage tower has been deserted. I didn't expect it to be reborn so soon."

  Suktara readily accepted this.

  In her opinion, if a mage tower has no business and no research, then the meaning of existence will also be lost.

   "Teacher, this is just the beginning." Duke said indifferently, "During my visits to the mage towers throughout Shenjiao City, I found that the utilization efficiency of each mage tower is not high. This is a very serious waste. Some mage towers are not necessary at all, such as the Clarinda mage tower."

  Kleinda's own academic achievement is low, so no arcanist chooses to go to the Kleinda Mage Tower for further study.

  Only some spiritual apprentices were inside, responsible for doing a little research for the Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory.

  Duke continued: "So I want to start with the teacher's mage tower, and try to cooperate with some companies in research and development to improve the utilization efficiency of the mage tower."

   "It seems that you have initially succeeded."

   "Yes, but as I said just now, this is just the beginning." Duke laughed, "Only by truly promoting this cooperation model can the scientific research power of the entire Federation be truly exploded and the entire Federation's exploration of spiritual mysteries be promoted."

   "You are very ambitious." Suktara sighed, "Of course, you also have enough talent and strength to match your ambition."

   "Teacher, you are too praised."

   "Of course, while achieving academically, you also have to work hard in your personal life." Suktara changed the subject, "Okay, this is the end of today's class. Go, go and accompany Kiria. She only entered the Mage Tower for you."

   "Then I will take my leave first." Duke got up and left the laboratory.

   Soon came to another laboratory. This laboratory occupied the entire floor, and a large number of scientific researchers shuttled through it.

   Most of them are spiritual apprentices, and a small part are some beautiful divas.

   Kiriya is talking to the divas.

  In the past, the beautiful singers who were promoted on slide cards and photo albums looked eclipsed when they stood next to Kiria.

   "My lord." The researchers in the laboratory bowed to Duke one after another.

  Kilia heard the movement, turned her head, and immediately showed a sweet smile: "Master Duke, have you come to inspect?"

   "Well, let's go for a stroll." Of course, Duke didn't know how to date someone at work, so he asked solemnly, "How's the production progress of the music phantom?"

   "The rough version has been successfully completed, but to improve the quality of the music phantom, the demand for equipment is too great. At present, the technical department has not solved the problem." Kiriya has also resumed working status, "I have been tracking film and television technology, and there is no technology that can be used directly."

  DreamWorks and the Mage Tower collaborated in the laboratory, under the leadership of Kiriya, engaged in the overcoming experiments of related technologies.

  But in essence, DreamWorks is an entertainment company, so it is more suitable to use doctrine.

  It's a pity that film and television technology has only appeared in the Seven Towers Federation for too short a time. There are no arcane masters yet. Based on film and television technology, valuable new technologies have been developed.

   "Let me see the finished product."

   "Well, come with me." Kylia led Duke into a separate laboratory.

  Then inserted a roll of slide cards into the projector, and while debugging, he said: "The capacity of a 1-ring slide card is too small. Even a music slideshow requires hundreds of stacks of 1-ring slide cards, and the cost cannot be reduced at all."

   With the switch unscrewed.

  The image is projected from the projector. The projection effect is not flat, but three-dimensional, more like a holographic image.

   On the screen, a row of divas appeared.

  As the music progressed, the singers sang and danced, and sang some of the more popular songs recently, which really looked like Duke's familiar MV-music short film.

  But there are also many shortcomings.

  In order to save the capacity of the slideshow card, the image is blurry, the sound quality is poor, some pictures are not even coherent, and the light and shadow effects are also poor.

  The biggest feeling for people is distortion.

certainly.

   This is the result of Duke’s assessment of music phantoms based on the standards on Earth. After all, in his era, 1080p was standard, and 2K and 4K were comfortable to watch.

   "Kilia, it seems that the capacity of the 1-ring slide card will not be increased in a short period of time. At present, the price of the slide card roll is close to the people, and it is basically impossible." Duke gave his own thoughts, "So we still have to take the high-end route."

   "Are you talking about building phantom theaters and opera houses, buying tickets to attract audiences, and watching such musical phantom films as a group?"

"Um."

   "But Duke, have you ever thought that the audience can see a real singer, who would want to buy a ticket to watch a fake singer?"

   "The effect of the live-action stage is limited, but the phantom can create infinite possibilities, which naturally attract the audience. In short, you listen to me, use the 2-ring slide card to make a music phantom film, and see what kind of light and shadow effects you can achieve."

   "Okay." Kilia nodded in agreement.

  Duke is the authority in this regard. She cannot say blindly and blindly believe, but she is also the only one who follows Duke's lead.

  Kilia left the lab to re-participate in the production of the new music fantasy film, while Duke stayed in the lab.

  He turned his seat to the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the scenery outside the window.

  I kept thinking in my heart: "The underlying logic of the physical rules of the two worlds is different, so how can I reproduce the film and television technology on the earth?"

   He's partly done.

  Now think about the rest: "There must be other ways to bypass the shackles of the slide card and meet the phantom needs."

   It can be said that film and television technology, success is also a slide card, and failure is also a slide card.

   After countless years of development, the slide card has basically reached the limit that this spell model can carry, and it can't be easily optimized anymore.

  Even if it can be optimized, there is not enough room for optimization.

  If there is no way to break the situation, then it can only be a laboratory product, which cannot be mass-produced and promoted to the society, and loses the original intention of natural history.

   "Xiaoyi, list all the 1st ring civilian cards." Duke suddenly thought of something.

  Xiaoyi quickly listed hundreds of 1-ring civil cards on the vindictive holographic screen, including some civilian cards with narrow functions, tricky and weird.

  Duke browse one by one.

   Didn't find what I wanted, so I told Xiaoyi: "List all the 1-ring arcane cards."

   "Good master."

  Accompanied by Xiaoyi's operation, Duke began to re-browse, and when his eyes skipped the illusion card, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

   "Illusion Card... Illusion Arcane!"

   "The same is the manipulation of light and shadow, the slide card is a kind of recording, and the illusion card is to distort the light and shadow with the help of spirituality."

   "The slide card is a dynamic light and shadow play, and the illusion card is a static light and shadow distortion."

   "If the two are combined, using the slide card to store the necessary materials, and then using the illusion card to perform the necessary distortion, wouldn't it be possible to achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two?"

   Think and do it.

  Duke returned to his office, ordered a large number of slide cards and illusion cards to be sent, and started a new round of film and television technology research.

   Ask for tickets~ Please give the characters some little hearts~
