Alchemy Workshop

Harvey used the enchantment table to carefully study the illusion crystal that he got from Kenneth that could "take pictures", this time he was much more cautious, this special illusion crystal is currently only one, if he accidentally breaks Harvey, he needs to go to Norton, the capital of the kingdom, to buy it in person, and because there are too many unpopular ones, it may not be possible to buy it.

"Are these the gifts that Mr. Randolph is talking about?"

The enchantment table activated the illusion crystal, projecting more than a dozen "photos" around it, and seeing these photos, Harvey somewhat understood why Kenneth didn't pay so much attention to this function of the illusion crystal. The projection function of the illusion crystal is very good, even then it can't be 100% real, and there will be an illusory sense of light and shadow in the material projection, and the photo of the illusion crystal inherits this shortcoming, the photo looks very illusory, and the visual effect is extremely poor.

"I guess there's no lens or any film or anything like that in this world..." Harvey shook his head with a wry smile, it took more work than he thought it would take to make a magic version of the camera. In his previous life, he was not a photographer, and he knew little about photography, but if he knew the parameters or principles of the lens, he would be confident that he could make substitutes such as lenses.

The projection photos are all records of horses, taken from all directions and corners, and the muscles of the horses in the photos are particularly clear, and you can clearly feel the explosive power of the bulging muscles, which are all the materials that Kenneth used to make the projection of the unicorn illusion.

By comparing the photos, Harvey carefully observed each of the enchanted magic array structures of this special illusion crystal and judged its effect.

"It should be possible to find a replacement, the illusion crystal itself is a whole similar to a camera, and it already has a basic photographic function, maybe you can adjust the photographic effect by adjusting the magic array." Although the principle of photography is the same, the illusion crystal has nothing to do with the composition of the camera, which is based on continuous photography to form a coherent picture.

The illusion crystal is said to be the ancient caster according to the human eyeball function research, at that time magic was almost omnipotent, the illusion crystal is based on the caster's understanding of the human eyeball and thus invented a magic array with similar functions, the illusion crystal "seeing" the image will be stored in the special substance inside the illusion crystal, and then when you want to project these pictures, the magic array will directly project the picture recorded in the special substance.

Harvey manipulated the enchantment table to continue dissecting the internal structure of the illusion crystal, and gradually had a bottom on this illusion crystal.

"Ordinary illusion crystals can sense the light reflected by matter at 360 degrees without dead angles, this illusion crystal is only slightly improved to form a lens, more like a technological regression, no wonder Kenneth said that this thing can only be used in a few unpopular fields."

Addicted to research, Harvey took time out in the evening to eat Shirley's dinner, and then instructed her to make some cakes that would satisfy his hunger, and the portions would be more, so that he would eat them as soon as he felt hungry in the alchemy workshop in the future.

After studying all day, Harvey felt as if he had researched something and as if he didn't understand anything, and lay on the cold floor with some discouragement and pondered: "It is very necessary to recall the physics knowledge in junior high school, the principle of the camera is to remember the small hole imaging, and the most important thing is the calculation of image distance, there is a formula." ”

Harvey regretted that he had returned all the knowledge of the nine years of compulsory education to the school, and he couldn't recall a little bit of physics knowledge after racking his brains, but he remembered the appearance of the physics teacher.

"As long as you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to go all over the world, this sentence is simply a wise saying!"

Harvey doesn't plan to give up easily, although most of the technology trees or magic trees in this world are ordered by spellcasters, and the knowledge and technology researched by ordinary people are limited, but there must be people who have studied something as simple as small hole imaging, and the source of his confidence is the instrument used to test myopia when he took Shirley to the optical store to get glasses last time.

With this in mind, Harvey did not continue to study blindly, exited the Mage's Tower, took a bath and entered a meditative state to recover the mental power consumed by operating the enchantment table.

The next morning, after a long search, he finally found a book in the corner of the Elroy Library that recorded the principle of imaging small holes, which recorded various data of experiments in detail, and the book was classified as a biological study of the human eye. The principle is not complicated in the first place, and Harvey has the research data of this book, and directly starts to calculate the image distance and recall modern knowledge for experiments.

His goal was to create a camera that could project images directly and clearly on a white cloth, and it was not difficult to achieve this effect with illusion crystals, and it was much easier to study.

In the weeks since he found his way, Harvey's research has made new progress every day, and based on the illusion crystal, the magic array has been continuously improved, and the photographic image is clearer, and the projection image is no longer out of thin air, but can be projected onto the white cloth to form a clearer image.

······

In the dimly lit room, the doors and windows were closed, and only a faint oil lamp was lit.

Harvey sat in his chair and looked nervously at the wall in front of him, where a white cloth was fixed, and if you looked at its shape, you would see that this white cloth was actually a tablecloth. Next to Harvey was a palm-sized wooden box, a shimmer of light peeking through a round hole in the wooden door, and when Harvey placed his hand on the box, the glimmer of light from the hole began to retract, and the light emitted brighter and formed a clear image on the white cloth.

The maid, Shirley, sat beside Harvey calmly and curiously, watching the white cloth appear counting down.

“3。”

“2。”

“1。”

At the beginning of the film, there is nothing special about it, as simple as the first film documentary on Earth that records a maid preparing breakfast.

Seeing the long-lost picture, Harvey's nose was a little sour, although the projection picture is not as clear as the cinema, at best it is the level of the school projector, but the film is color, and the coherent picture looks no different from the modern film, which is already a great success, spanning half a century of achievements of modern people on earth.

Shirley was also surprised to see the white cloth showing a familiar and unfamiliar figure, she had never seen herself preparing breakfast with such a peculiar vision, Sakura's lips opened slightly because of surprise, and asked curiously: "Master, this is..."

Harvey, who was already surrounded by a sense of accomplishment, opened his mouth and smiled brightly: "Although the results of my research during this period are still very imperfect, there are still many things that need to be improved in photography and storage. ”

She knew what Harvey was studying during this time, and she also knew that there was a strange space in the wardrobe of Harvey's bedroom, Harvey had already moved his bedroom into it, and she couldn't help but laugh when she saw Harvey's joy, and her delicate eyes were bent into crescent moons.

Shirley's quiet and gentle smile made Harvey's heart beat a little, and then turned on the photography function of the camera, came to Shirley, bent down and stretched out his right hand and smiled: "Miss Shirley, in order to study more materials and celebrate this success, can you dance with me?" ”

"Will it all be recorded?"

"Of course, it will film every move we dance."

Shirley stretched out her soft hand and put it on Harvey's hand, Harvey kissed the back of her hand and pulled her delicate body up, and danced the world's ballroom dance at will in Shirley's exclamation, the dance steps were not very complicated, but Shirley's movements seemed clumsy and couldn't keep up with Harvey's rhythm.

Driven by Harvey, Shirley's beautiful face showed a panicked look and sneered: "Master, wait, I haven't taken off my glasses yet, ah." ”

As he spoke, he had stepped on Harvey's instep, and his delicate body lost his center of gravity and was pulled into Harvey's arms.

When they looked at each other, they chuckled together, adjusted their movements and danced again, Harvey hadn't felt so happy for a long time, and even when he finished "The Count of Monte Cristo", he didn't feel so accomplished.
