Chapter 323: The Child Is Coming
Irina's airship stayed in Chase for only three days before it flew away again, taking with it the businesswoman's ambitions. Chase Central Workshop has already begun to develop high-speed cruisers, and once such news reaches China, it will inevitably set off even greater waves in China, and at the same time create favorable conditions for the smooth implementation of the airship program.
During this trip, Irina secured a favorable cooperation agreement for the Ministry of Defense, and once the first high-speed cruiser was successfully developed by the Chase Central Workshop, it would have to build an equally empty ship for the Empire. I believe that the Ministry of Defense will be pleased with this condition of cooperation.
Irina expressed her displeasure with Duchamp's continued stay in Chase, but it is true that there are still many projects to be negotiated with Chase Central Workshop. Among the product ideas proposed by Duchamp, the high-speed camera was immediately noticed by the director of the Madoko workshop.
Before the Guiding Revolution, Chase was a city known for manufacturing precision instruments and mechanical watches. In addition, Chase Chuo's cameras are also bestsellers, so it was not difficult to manufacture high-sensitivity cameras and professional lenses.
The workshop clearly saw the market prospect of high-speed cameras, and quickly pulled out a few people from the camera production department to participate in the negotiations. Duchamp provided a large number of technical ideas for the project, and after evaluation, he was granted a license: he himself owns shared patents for a range of products such as cinema cameras, projectors, and editing machines.
When he got this permit, Duchamp's heart blossomed.
The workshop promises that the time for the samples to come out will not exceed half a year.
"In half a year, TV and movies will be born, wahaha, it's really unreasonable to not brush up on civilization like this." Duchamp danced with joy.
In addition to the license, Duchamp and the others also got the rare opportunity to enter the underground factory area of the Chase Central Workshop to see how the world makes LCD screens.
On Earth, this is a big problem that has puzzled scientists for decades.
And on the assembly line of the Chase Central Workshop, Duchamp saw a completely new technology.
On a flat-made backplate, a specially made liquid is poured onto it, which is then pulled by an assembly line into a special room. Under the action of a huge force field, these liquids are squeezed and condensed into pure flat glass by the 'wind', and after several procedures of processing, they become a kind of slightly elastic pure flat bare board.
Then, these bare boards are cut and polished, and then covered with a film composed of ultra-fine flare particles that are invisible to the naked eye, and the imaging of the picture depends on this thin layer of flare film.
"Sure enough, it's flat and ultra-thin!" Duchamp gasped.
Not only is the display manufactured by this coating technology, but the memory of the Walkman is also made with a similar technology.
At present, this processing technology, and how to form that 'film', is a unique secret of Chase Central Workshop.
In addition to being an investor in the viewer project, Duchamp was able to visit the museum for another reason, because he provided these memories with a more convenient form of information compression, so that a small piece of Crystal Flare Film could record a large amount of information. The new writer is being improved and will be ready for use soon.
"This is the memory that goes with the Walkman, which we currently call the 'Storage Box', and it can record music for no more than an hour." The staff took out the sample and gave it to Duchamp for inspection.
This small box is the size of a matchbox.
Duchamp put it in the palm of his hand and shook it, and asked him the question that he was most concerned about: "Have you considered any special methods for preventing piracy?" ”
"For traditional crystallization records to be transferred to this format, they must go through special format transcription and restoration, as well as special entry equipment. We have a file header inside the writer, and each box has a number. If the sales of the input equipment are strictly recorded, and we are currently the only one in the mainland that produces storage boxes, there will be no piracy for the time being, but it is difficult to say after a long time. ”
Duchamp nodded, he was already satisfied to be able to do this.
The first samples of the Walkman, a total of 1,000 pieces, were manufactured by the Chase Central Workshop, however, a factory will be found in Ruray in the future.
Duchamp didn't care about who did the OEM, because the most critical readout was ordered from the Chase Central Workshop.
In addition, Duchamp also ordered professional mother box lossless transcription equipment and a large-scale industrial duplicator, because the record project does not belong to the investment of the Green Leaf Society, the millions of mira from the dividends in the bag flowed away in an uproar.
Duchamp stayed in Chase for more than half a month, and Goode and Hermi were busy in Chase's factory every day, but he was in the backyard of Russell's house every day, except for occasionally listening to the doctor share the recent progress of "Zero" and "One", he had been digesting some of the lessons he had taken the risk some time ago.
Whether it was the sword of the guardian knight to break the boundary, or the sword saint's phoenix wave, it was an eye-opener for him. When no one is around, he secretly describes the battle at the Sun Fortress to Dan, and Dan just smiles and says, "It won't be long before you will have this kind of strength", in a tone similar to that of a child.
Duchamp believed it, or rather, believed it.
"Brother is a tree of reason, and it is only a matter of minutes to become a strong man."
Under such self-hypnosis, he got up earlier and practiced more diligently every day. He occasionally saw the Shine Chip used for experiments in the workshop, and when he asked about the price, he immediately salivated, pestering Dan to help him apply for the opportunity to buy the Shine Chip at a cheaper price in the name of Russell's workshop.
After a week, the share of the application was finally approved, 1 piece of ordinary Yao Chip is 15 meters, and one piece of Yao Chip of space-time fantasy attribute is 18 meters, with a total share of 5 million meters.
Duchamp's heart blossomed, as soon as this batch of dazzling chips arrived, his guiding force workbench could be upgraded.
Dan was also very happy. "We'll have to pick up the goods at the Maruga mine, which is right next to Lotriente, and we might be able to stop by to see Cassius and Estiel, who I've heard he's just returned home."
Going to see Estelle?
Duchamp hurriedly purchased some children's toys and candies, ready to take them out at any time to enhance his favorability.
The guerrilla branch of Loliente is located on the street of the south gate of the city. Dan was apparently a frequent visitor here, and the guerrillas were extremely enthusiastic about him, but Cassius was not in the guerrilla branch.
"Mr. Cassius has been staying at home a lot lately. He returned from Calvard, seemingly to bring back a mysterious younger brother to Estelle! It's weird to say! A female guerrilla with a healthy wheat complexion and long sparkling silver hair deliberately lowered her voice and leaked to Dan the latest developments in the Bright family.
"Brother?" Dan couldn't help but be stunned. He and the beautiful guerrilla nicknamed "Silver Flash" talked about some guerrillas' family routines. After a while, he felt as if he hadn't heard Duchamp's voice for a long time, and turned his head to look, only to find that Duchamp was in a fugue.
"The kid, is he here?"
Duchamp's eyes quickly flashed a page of character files.
"Joshua Bright, formerly known as Joshua Astre, is the executor of the association 'The Serpent of the Body', No. 1. XIII, codenamed 'The Tooth of Darkness', specializes in concealment, assassination, and the destruction of anything that stands in the way of association. ”
"Styry, why are you so distracted?"
After not getting a response from Duchamp for a long time, Dan had to reach out and pat Duchamp.
Duchamp came back to his senses and said with a dry smile: "This, I just thought, in this way, the Bright family has two children, and I only brought a gift, isn't it very rude." ”
Dan smiled softly, not asking what Duchamp was thinking.
"Well, let's change our plans and go to Cassius first, and then go to the mines."
Coming out of the south gate of the small town of Lotriente, following the avenue, a path soon branched out in the woods, and this was the road that led to Cassius's house.
The Swordmaster's home was quite remote, and Duchamp followed Dan and walked forward without saying a word. Dan felt that Duchamp was suddenly silent a little strangely today, but he was not a good talker, so he had to move forward in silence.
Duchamp suddenly wished that the forest path would be longer, at least, enough for him to clear his mind, or to regain his memory.
The protagonists of the third and fourth fetters are all in the two-story forest hut not far away, but Duchamp doesn't know what will happen in the future, and he is even a little superstitious that the sudden appearance of this person who was not there will change the fate of these people in the house, and even bring them any changes.
His steps became more and more hesitant, and his steps became heavier and heavier.
Dan frowned and listened to the footsteps behind him, suddenly stopped, and turned around.
Duchamp almost bumped into Dan's body.
"Styri, do you have any doubts?"
Dan looked at Duchamp carefully, his eyes were large and gentle, and on weekdays, when he saw these eyes, he felt that his owner was smiling all the time. But when it gets serious, the edges of the eyes become sharp, even a little squinted, which means that the owner of the eyes is becoming serious.
"Oh!" Duchamp replied in a panic.
"Is it because you've been through too much lately, or have you seen the power of others that makes you feel lost? Why do I think your steps today are full of hesitation, not at all as agile and energetic as you are on a daily basis? ”
"Perhaps, so." Duchamp muttered quietly.
But Dan never moved, nor did he look away.
For the first time, Duchamp felt that his cheap master suddenly possessed a majesty that was difficult to challenge.
He suddenly felt that Dan's posture was tricky for him. It's a gesture that's hard to fool.
After a while, Duchamp replied honestly: "I, I've been worried about my ability, I don't have the power to protect like Cassius, and I can't protect what I want to protect." ”
The corners of Dan's mouth twitched, and he reached out dotingly and touched Duchamp's head.
"What an old kid is already thinking about such a deep problem."
He turned and walked on, saying as he went:
"You're just a child, and you're thinking too many questions, which is not conducive to your progress in martial arts. No one can foresee what will happen tomorrow, only move forward with firm steps, and when it's time to draw your sword, just pull out your sword. ”
(During the festival, I am so busy and chaotic, I am free in the middle of the night, happy mooncake festival everyone.) )
