Chapter 254 has been lifted, hehe!)

Click!

Click, click......

The flash lights are constantly flashing in the bedroom, and they are recorded in a flash.

Wren took more than a dozen photos in one go, then sat back and said with a smile: "It's done, but it will take two or three hours to develop the photos, and you can see them at noon." ”

Viola finally reacted here, a crimson appeared on her face, and she was embarrassed and angry: "You actually took this kind of picture for me." ”

"Uh...... It's art!"

Wren fiddled with the camera, and there was no evil thought in his eyes.

"Art?" "As a believer in the long-haired lady, the half-elf is extremely serious about everything related to the priesthood of the long-haired lady, "Is taking pictures also considered art?"

"Absolutely. Wren explained in a serious way: "It's not just about taking pictures, I call it photography. The art of photography is to record beautiful moments, which can reflect the various states of life and natural phenomena, express the photographer's thoughts and feelings, carry the aesthetic style, and make photos with artistic appeal. ”

"Photography is like painting, like music, it's a whole new art. ”

Viola's eyes gradually lit up, her expression fell into deep thought, and she muttered to herself, "The art of photography...... Express your feelings and record your life's ......"

As the chosen one of the long-haired ladies and a high artistic talent, she quickly understood the concept of photography and was convinced that it was indeed an art!

If the art of photography can become popular, it will certainly be of great benefit to the spread of faith in the long-haired lady.

Wren chuckled twice.

Photography is indeed an art, and it is quite high, he himself does not know much about it, almost a layman, but this does not prevent him from making cameras.

Alan Eus already had a camera, but he used the "wet plate method", which was relatively backward in technology, and he needed to hold a pose for several minutes when taking pictures, and the photos he took were not clear enough and it was troublesome to move.

Despite this, photo studios have been popular in the empire for many years.

Wren, who saw a horse-drawn cart-style mobile photo tent on Rue de la Lonshander last year, thought that a portable camera would replace the "wet plate method" and earn countless gold shields.

It was only later that he met Viola and changed his mind to a phonograph.

With his current ability, it was not difficult to build a camera, the key was to find silver bromide to replace the collodion used in wet plate photography.

From hundreds of alchemy materials, Wren synthesized silver bromide, and then successfully "invented" film and camera, which only took more than half a month.

Wren named it the Kodak Camera.

Compared to the bulky box camera, the Kodak camera has a big advantage, it is light and small, and anyone can use it, no need to learn tricks, just press the shutter.

He pulled out a stack of photographs from the ring, which he had taken casually and then developed.

"Look at it. ”

Viola took the photos and looked at them, and found that these photos were much clearer than the photos she had ever seen, although they were still black and white, but the people and scenes on them were all lifelike, every expression, every brick and stone, and even every leaf was clear.

"Can you take a picture so clearly?"

Viola was surprised to take the camera, learn Wren's method, and take a few pictures in the room.

"It's so convenient!"

She immediately realized that the camera, once it was introduced, would be able to replace the photo studios and monopolize an industry like the gramophone.

"Wren, how much does a camera cost?" asked Viola, a little excited.

"If it is produced in large quantities, it can be controlled within one gold shield. ”

"Lady on top!"

Viola suddenly exclaimed, the cheaper the camera, the easier it is to sell, the more people can afford to buy, form a huge market, and get more profits.

At the same time, it can also promote the development of the art of photography and increase the number of believers for long-haired ladies.

The benefits of a camera are no less than that of a phonograph.

Viola didn't know what to say, Wren was not a believer in Lady Longhair, but he offered two inventions in a row that were comparable to artifacts.

Who qualifies to be the Chosen One for the long-haired lady......

Viola's face was complicated, and she sighed: "You can always give me great surprises, which is far beyond everything I can give you, even if the body and mind belong to you, I always feel that it is not enough." ”

"Just a gift. Wren smiled indifferently, "As long as you like it." ”

The half-elf was moved beyond words, and there were tears in his eyes.

Wren continued, "I named it the 'Kodak' camera, and it sounded like a shutter, and it was easy to remember. ”

"I've written a booklet on how to produce cameras, and I'll leave it to you later. If you don't understand something, you can go to Kenegi for advice, the most important secret is the material of the film, and you must do a good job of keeping it secret. ”

"I suggest you start a new company, independent of Silver Star Records. ”

"Of course, you must still give His Excellency the Duke some shares, but you can't give her too much, I have already asked the teacher for instructions, Kodak Company can be attached to the teacher's name, as long as the teacher is given a percentage of the shares. ”

"How to distribute the specific shares, you see that it is done. ”

"If you don't have enough funds, I can take 100,000 gold dongles for the upfront investment. ”

"There is also a camera business model, which is similar to that of a phonograph, but there are some differences in details. The price of the camera is set at about two gold shields, and each camera comes with a film roll, which can take 50 shots, and when the film negative is finished and cannot be exposed, the customer sends the camera back to the company to help them develop the photos for a fee. ”

"The money we make from selling film negatives is actually higher than selling the camera itself. ”

"At the moment, cameras can only take black and white photos, and I will develop the technology for color photos in the future, but we will not introduce color cameras until most of the customers who are willing to buy them, so that we can sell them again. ”

"In addition, you should use your position in the Good Faith Church to have art associations around the country hold photography art exhibitions and promote cameras, so that more people can grasp this new art ......."

Wren talked eloquently, summed up the experience of his previous life, and said it without reservation.

Viola listened attentively and nodded her head again and again, but her mind was a little divergent.

She suddenly regretted it.

Regarding the camera and the company's business strategy, such a detailed plan, Wren must have been preparing for a long time, not because he allowed him to go to his lover, so he took it out as compensation.

The fact that such an important invention was given as a gift shows that his place in his heart is not at all measurable by a golden shield or anything.

Viola remembered Wren's words just now, "I'm different from other men", he is indeed different, he has never been an ordinary man.

She knew that she might have missed the opportunity to be "the only one", and she gave it up voluntarily.

"Goddess, what have I done?" a wave of remorse gnawed at Viola's heart, and she wanted to take back her words, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Wren sensed that the color of her soul was changing drastically, and thought she was overly moved.

He paused and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. ”

Viola sniffed, wiped the corners of her eyes lightly, and a bright smile appeared on her face: "I'm just so happy, I wish I could always be by your side." ”

"It's not that hard. Wren laughed, "When I come back from the Thaine Plateau, I will also build a teleportation array in Winterthunder Castle, which is connected to my castle, but every teleportation consumes magic materials, and the teleportation array itself is not cheap......"

Before he finished speaking, Viola said decisively: "I will pay for the construction of the teleportation array, no matter how expensive it is. ”

"Okay, I'll give you a list of materials, you prepare in advance. Wren agreed.

This kind of long-distance teleportation array requires at least 50,000 gold shields to build, and the most important item is the Astral Pillar, but as long as one Astral Pillar is the center, it can be connected to multiple teleportation arrays.

With Wren's mastery of teleportation technology, up to twelve teleportation locations can be connected at the same time.

In his plan, in the future, each teleportation array will be used and arranged all over the world, using his own castle as a hub to form an ultra-long-distance instant transportation network, and even be able to project his own power to the New World and the Alien Plane!
