With a freshly baked telescope in hand, Cepesch walked to the window to test the product's performance.

The line of sight is clear, the field of vision is wide, the picture is stable and does not shake, and the magnification is about nine, even after a few hundred years, it can be a qualified product.

The only pity is that on the opposite side of the window, there is only a row of empty rooms, which cannot play the effect of a voyeuristic artifact.

With some regret, he put away his binoculars and looked at Joseph, who was eating noodles carefully, and Tsepes said:

"I'm sorry, I thought about it, but I'm still going to kill you."

The life and death of the little people have always been in the hands of others.

In a word, it can take you from hell to heaven, and it can also make you fall from heaven to hell.

Old Joseph was struck by lightning, but he was much calmer than before, though he was frightened.

Even if he died, his old Joseph was the one who ate noodles with the Grand Duke at the Palace of Curtea.

With a fork, put the leftover noodles in your mouth and enjoy the most delicious food you've ever eaten in your life.

"Please spare my family, this is the only request."

He gently put the exquisite blue and white porcelain bowl, bent down and lowered it to the ground, and the request he had once said was said by him again.

And it was this sentence that gave Tsepes, a reason to spare him, and saved his life.

"The thing you made today is called a telescope, and it's the only one in the world at the moment.

I won't kill you, but I ask you to keep the production process absolutely confidential.

If you dare to mention even one word to others, I will not only kill you, but also your whole family.

Of course, if you can keep it a secret, you are a special advisor to the Basarab family, and you will enjoy all kinds of benefits. ”

The undisguised threat, this remark, Cepes had thought about it a long time ago.

Even then, he didn't know that there was a man like Joseph Sr. in this world.

In Tsepes's view, the development of science and technology is a double-edged sword.

Needless to say, the benefits are too easy to imitate.

Just like a telescope, it is not very high-tech, and an experienced glassesman can easily make it.

The steam engine that triggered the industrial revolution was of epoch-making significance, and Cepes came to this world and thought about making one for a long time.

But he quickly rejected this idea, because the disadvantages far outweighed the benefits.

After the steam engine is built, within two or three years, there will be great profits.

Then, his 'invention' will become the most advantageous weapon for hostile countries.

Don't think about secrecy, for a large machine to create value, it is impossible to be locked in a warehouse.

The more value you create, the more people you will come into contact with, and the faster it will be copied by other countries.

When the time comes, the competition between countries is the national heritage.

Talent reserves, wealth reserves, determine who is the final winner.

Wallachia's foundation is too thin, and no matter who wins in the end, Cepes knows that it will definitely not be him.

Therefore, he has always been very cautious and does not easily 'invent' something new.

The telescope is actually okay, its own role is limited, and it is relatively easy to keep it secret, so Tsepes will come up with it.

Of course, if the production method can not be circulated, try not to circulate it, and there is the previous threat.

Joseph Sr. cared more about his family than he cared about himself, and Cepes had absolute bargaining chips in his hands to ensure that he did not dare to divulge secrets.

At this moment, old Joseph was silent and did not speak, he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

The choice between dying and becoming a special adviser may seem like a good choice, but when it comes to family, that's another issue.

After a while, he gave an answer that Tsepes had not expected.

"Lord Grand Duke, I will keep it a secret for you, but I don't want to be a special advisor anymore.

Fame often comes with a burden, and I'm just an ordinary craftsman, and suddenly becoming a special adviser will definitely attract attention.

For the sake of my family's safety, I think I'd better be an ordinary person. ”

The honest man who is cautious about his family gives the most pertinent answer, for which Tsepes has no guilt.

"I'll have everyone send everything back here, and I'll give you thirty gold coins, which will be counted as a labor fee.

You and your family, continue to live your old life, don't think about going out of the city, or you will bear the consequences.

When I need you to make it again, I'll go to your optical store and look for you. ”

Make arrangements for old Joseph, Tsepes pulls the velvet long rope, and he doesn't need to worry too much about a series of subsequent things.

When old Joseph was gone, Tsepes stood in front of the window, coughed lightly, and said:

"Outside the window? Hurry in. ”

The next moment, Mirsa was like a bat, with its head down and its body poking down from above.

This thing is unusual, Cepes just asked casually, but he didn't expect him to appear in this way again.

"Come in, did you hear our conversation just now?" Cepes opened the window and said.

"I heard you, I think you just wanted to scare him, and you didn't want to kill his whole family."

Mirsa rummaged into her office and commented on Tsepes's previous behavior.

"Give you new toys, and if you don't think they're useful, smash them and throw them away."

Tsepes didn't even know what he thought, so he simply didn't talk about Joseph and handed the telescope to Mirsa.

"What, I don't need it."

Mirsa, not knowing what the telescope was, shook it in her hand, and threw it back to Cepes at random.

Carefully catching the telescope, Cepes angrily threw the end of the eyepiece directly in front of Mirsa's eyes.

"What are you doing? You ......"

Mirsa tried to dodge, but her eyes seemed to be sucked in, and she stuck to the binoculars.

"It's amazing! What a miracle by God! ”

"That's right, God told me how to make this thing, and I was his old man's patron.

Also, God asked me to tell you that in the future, you will only obey my command, and the upper echelons of the hermitage will not be reliable. ”

Tsepes seized every opportunity to brainwash Mirsa a second time, such a great invention must be the work of God.

In an instant, Mirsa's expression became tangled again, and she frowned and didn't speak.

However, one of his eyes was still stuck to the lens, completely forgetting that he had been disdainful of the telescope more than ten seconds ago.

"Forget it, when I didn't say anything just now.

Reach out, grab the binoculars, and from tomorrow onwards, take it and keep an eye on it.

You and the redhead are each staring for half a day, and there are no gaps. ”

Now, Mirsa was no longer entangled, and began to take the telescope and wander around the office.

"I remember someone saying that they are tools and don't need tool assistance, and I don't know who said such a lack of heart."

Tsepes turned on taunt mode, but as a result, he failed to penetrate Mirsa's increasingly gritty face.

"I don't know, who said love, who said it, what does it matter to me!"

"Holy!"

Tsepes burst into foul language, and of course, Mirsa did not misunderstand the meaning as Joseph did.
