Chapter 103: Reynolds' Discovery

Reynolds instructed the crowd to carefully turn the direction of the ten-meter-long telescope, and finally aimed at the moon. There was some anticipation in my heart.

Although Wayne's continuous education in the past two years has taught him that most of the doctrine in the church is nonsense. But he still wants to see the goddess Tassie.

The light is more than ten meters long, between fifteen lenses, constantly refracted and diffracted . Eventually, a small spot of light forms at the end.

Reynolds, full of excitement, talks about what he wants to see when his eyes come to the lenses.

White sand covered the surface, like the desert that the troubadour said. There is not a trace of life on the rugged surface, there is no plant or animal, not even wind, and raised craters of various sizes.

Reynolds quickly rubbed his eyes, unable to believe that the moon was so desolate. He leaned closer to the lens and began to observe, trying to find traces of human presence.

"Hey, Reynolds, what are you doing!"

Audrey came to ignore the wandering around at night, and saw Reynolds set up more than ten meters, and there were many novelty things composed of lenses. Feeling bored, she suddenly found a way to relieve her boredom.

A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Reynolds immediately reacted that it was Princess Audrey, his future wife.

"Princess Audrey, I'm watching the moon. ”

"Observing the moon?"

Audrey began to recall that it seemed that many poets in the history of empires had written about the moon, and certainly not the most attractive. Or the Goddess Tassie resides in the house of the moon as it is said in church doctrine.

"Come on, I'll take a look. ”

Audrey excitedly urged Reynolds, she also wanted to see what was on the moon.

"Eh, princess, tap, don't break it. ”

"Don't touch the lenses, it took me most of the day to get them out. ”

"Princess, awkward...."

.....

Reynolds was in a hurry, fearing that Audrey would leave a notch on his superscope.

After a serious search.

"It's boring, nothing. Not yet as fun as a telescope. ”

Audrey puffed.

Reynolds was also a little embarrassed, after all, he had put a lot of effort into making a telescope and found nothing. See a barren desert. But Reynolds was not willing to give in, and the super telescope he had worked so hard to make was of no use.

Audrey saw that it was boring and left, and she really didn't understand what Reynolds was looking at. This master and apprentice have the same personality.

Reynolds searched hard all night, but he still couldn't find any Goddess Tassie, let alone Goddess Tassie, he couldn't even find a dog.

However, this news was known to Wayne, who had just gotten up, and he didn't expect that Reynolds would build a telescope so quickly with just a drawing.

Wash up and check out the telescope.

More than 10 meters long, a variety of lenses. It takes eight people and two horses to turn, and it is estimated that it is not as far as the commercial telescopes in his previous life.

But this is the result of Reynolds's research in half a month, and the birth of the telescope is of great significance. The heliocentric theory will be established, and it is estimated that the church will not know what to do with itself at that time.

And this is also a great blow to the imperial power.

It can produce a series of chain effects, which are of great significance.

Reynolds, with dark circles under his eyes, staggered over to Wayne.

"Teacher, yesterday I looked at the moon all night, but I didn't see anything. In addition to white sand, it is still white sand. ”

It may seem like a disappointing result, but Wayne knows it's the right outcome. There was indeed nothing on the moon, and it was a barren place. If he did observe something, it would have scared Wayne away.

"Go and get some rest, there's good news later. ”

"Boil~ Teacher, what good news, just say it, don't hide it. ”

Wayne looked at Reynolds' state, afraid that Reynolds would be overexcited at this time, and it would be fun to die suddenly.

"Say you go and rest, and you go to rest. Let's get the spirit up first. ”

Reynolds didn't dwell on it, and discounted Hatcher and went back, he was indeed too sleepy.

The first rays of the sun shine on the polished lenses, reflecting a dazzling light.

Next, Wayne wants to use this as the treasure of the research institute, and he can also justifiably make Reynolds the dean. Otherwise, let Rune's old scholars be the deans, and it will be difficult to wipe out the fledgling flower of science in the cradle.

Next, Wayne established a research institute and a blast furnace to add the most powerful catalyst to industrial development.

Now Nolan's goods will pass through the lands of many nobles, and now Wayne's glass, farm tools, elven imported furs, artworks, etc., have brought great benefits to Nolan.

This is impossible for these nobles not to covet it, and now the remaining five barons, two viscounts, and one marquis in the northwest are all discussing how to benefit from these goods in Nolan.

Of course, they also know about Nolan's artillery, so they have recently bought a lot of artillery with the Four Princes. Comparing the artillery of the Four Princes with Nolan's artillery, it is found that Nolan's artillery is of better quality, and the distance is basically one-sixth of the terry (one terry = 1500 meters) farther than the artillery of the Four Princes.

So these nobles felt that Wayne was not so important anymore, and that one-sixth of Terry was enough for them to ignore the difference that seemed small to them.

As for how to make money, charge.

For goods shipped to or from Nolan, the tax will be increased by 1.5 times!

The Northwest aristocratic group, led by Marquis Beard, collectively wants to sanction Wayne, and they want Wayne not only to eat meat himself, but also to eat some bones. Among them were Niels supporters.

The temptation of money made them forget what happened to Barnfinger now.

Of course, they blame Barn Finger's defeat on Barn Finger's escape. It never occurred to me that Wayne really had a murderous heart for the aristocracy.

At this point, the Northwest nobles formed a pincer-shaped encirclement of Wayne, and as long as they passed through this circle, they had to give a huge amount of gold coins.

The first thing that makes these businessmen miserable, the first person they think of for some reason is Wayne, and profit can always stir the most sensitive nerves of merchants.

Before Heath could present this information, the merchants approached Wayne and asked him to help.

Of course, Wayne is still busy with the blast furnace project, after all, the current local ironmaking has highlighted the disadvantages of low output, high pollution and high consumption.

Wayne continued to build a blast furnace with a larger output, otherwise it would not be good news that all of Nolan would be used to meet the artillery orders.

Wayne dealt with the merchants again and again, while letting Heath inquire about the nobles' preparations. He didn't believe that these nobles didn't have a backhand, and this matter was obviously planned for a long time.

Wayne was not mistaken, as soon as the Battle of Nolan was over, these nobles were worried about Wayne's gold coins.
