Chapter 179: The Generation Gap of the Times
After a while, the photos that William had taken of Lawrence were also developed.
William took out the photo, and it was fairly clear under the flash effect.
Not far away, Lawrence is still concentrating on the Crystal of Intelligence, he is the mentor of the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce's Magic Workshop, and William's father Donn's old acquaintance, almost everyone in the Magic Workshop world in the Barron Kingdom knows about it. Lawrence is the developer of steam technology, which does not refer to coal burning, the steam trains that run in the kingdom and the steam power units used by most cars are made using workshop technology, and the steam power units consume a special metal called hot soft gold, which is the size of a thumb and emits continuous heat to keep a steam train running for a week.
William also didn't know how his father had recruited this workshop mentor who represented the immortal monument of the magic workshop industry in the Kingdom of Barron.
Lawrence is still immersed in the content of the information crystal recorded, looking sometimes confused, sometimes abrupt, sometimes grinning, in addition to the photo processing machine production technology in the information crystal also details the materials for developing photos, which is much simpler than making photographic crystals.
"Harvey Adrian is definitely a genius!" Lawrence let out a strange cry that startled William, who stood up and held his forehead and asked, "Mr. Lawrence, what is your opinion?" ”
"The photo processor can be made at any time, with the scale of my workshop, I can make about ten a day, but the material is difficult to handle, but it is not a big problem, I have a friend who studies chemical materials, and I will definitely be able to achieve mass production if I find him." Lawrence played with the information crystal and sighed: "It's really a pity that Harvey Adrian went to write, oh~ The person who can design a photo processor will definitely not be so simple, I really hope to meet him." ”
The corners of William's mouth twitched, and he didn't argue with him too much.
After receiving Lawrence's affirmation, William's mood became quite good, since there is no problem with commoditization, then is there any value in commoditization of the so-called photo?
Yes! Not inferior to the value of photographic crystals!
The photographic crystal is also more elaborate in the production process, especially the high-quality photographic crystal provided by Harvey, which is quite difficult to make and cannot be civilianized in the true sense.
What about the photos? When William first saw the color photo, he was thinking about the production cost of this thin piece of paper, and when Harvey gave him a detailed list of materials and details, his heart fluttered, the material cost of the photo was very low, and the production cost of the photo processor was not very high, Lawrence's magic workshop could be made, and it could be mass-produced by distributing it to a workshop dedicated to the production of goods.
In the past, only wealthy families had the ability to preserve images, and oil painting was popular when illusion crystals were not popular, and in previous years, it was popular to use illusion crystals to record stereoscopic images, and this year it is to use photographic crystals to shoot pictures.
William was sure that in less than two or three months, the popular photographic crystal would now be changed to the photographic recording mode, and not only the nobles could enjoy this treatment, but the average commoner would only need to pay a not too high price to take one or two pictures.
The method of making film still needs to be improved a lot, and the actual effect is weak, Harvey almost wanted to give up the study of film and use crystal records directly, so he did not hand over the film production technology to William.
On the other hand, the completion of the camera and photographic crystal officially marked the end of Harvey's research in the field of photography.

"Snow covers the mountains tonight
Bury the footprints behind me
In this isolated white country
I am the Queen of Ice
The wind is howling, and the heart is surging
I can't hide my feelings anymore, God knows how hard I've tried
Don't let them know, don't let them see
······
Why care about other people's words and let the wind howl
The cold couldn't stop me anymore
·······
I'm free
Let it go, let it go
I ride the wind and the sky
······
My magic came down from the sky
My soul swirled up with the ice around me
My mind turned into a cold wind
······”
The fierce and high-pitched singing came to an abrupt end, and Harvey's palms closed, and the misty brilliance of the illusion crystal was extinguished in his palms.
"Do you two think this song is good? I want a more objective answer, which is important to me. ”
In the study, Diana and Shirley were there, they were called by Harvey to listen to this strange song, which was the theme song "letitgo" of the animated film "Frozen" produced by Diguini, which caused a sensation at the same time when the animation was broadcast, becoming the most representative symbol of the animated film and winning the Oscar for Best Original Music at that time.
Harvey went to the cinema to watch this movie after listening to this song, and was very impressed by this song, so he used [Illusion Technique] to copy it into the illusion crystal.
On the sofa, Diana crossed her legs, used to clasping her hands and muttered: "I didn't know that you were still interested in music, is this song a folk song or something?" The lyrics are funny. ”
Shirley looked hesitant: "Master, you know that I don't know much about music. ”
Harvey rubbed his temples and emphasized: "You don't need to think about so many things, you just need to tell me three opinions about this song, good, average or bad." ”
Shirley thought for a moment and said, "That's good." ”
"What about you, Diana."
"General."
“······” Harvey was surprised, the answer was really unexpected, it was one of the few English songs he liked.
"Can I hear your thoughts?"
Diana glanced sideways at Harvey: "Didn't you tell me not to think about so many complicated ideas?" ”
Harvey was speechless: "Uh······"
Seeing that Harvey was deflated, Diana raised her little face, and then continued to give an evaluation: "The general evaluation I said is to give a completely objective evaluation of the situation of this ballad, first of all, the lyrics of this ballad are very impactful, but I don't understand the meaning of it, and I feel that the way it is sung is also very weird, and the overall feeling is not solemn enough." ”
After all, singing songs are difficult to achieve in this era, and almost everyone understands that singing is equivalent to country ballads, rather than treating songs as music.
"The generation gap of the times, the road of music has a long way to go!" Harvey sighed in his heart and said to Diana, "I thought this song was very suitable for you." ”
Shirley thought about it and smiled in agreement, Diana's heroic willow eyebrows moved, and she didn't say anything.
Since Harvey adopted Lily the Siren, she has been deliberately cultivating her in the direction of singing, and the Siren is born with a singing voice that surpasses the level of the queen of songs, but in this era, it is impossible to appreciate the pop music that sings.
This gave Harvey a huge headache, and the old god had only recently helped him, and nothing meant that he was embarrassed.
On Earth, the popularity of records promoted the development of popular music at that time, and it should be mentioned that there are still records and special hand-cranked record players in this world, which are similar in structure to hand-cranked record players on Earth, which are manually shaken and do not require electricity and other external energy sources. However, the hand-cranked record player gradually disappeared with the emergence of illusion crystals before it became popular, but illusion crystals belonged to luxury goods, and only a few nobles and wealthy merchants bought them, which could not play a role in popularizing music.
