Chapter 477: Pantomime
With the current technology, the civilian crystal ball has several characteristics. First, no matter who controls the crystal ball, its purpose is only to view a few pre-set locations, and it is difficult to even adjust the angle. If you want to use a civilian crystal ball to peek at something, it's impossible.
The civilian version is too fragile and is itself a fragile item. can't withstand too strong magic, and no matter how strong the mental power is, people can't change the setting inside, so they can only burst the ball. Of course, if there is special permission, then say it separately.
Second, there is no sound! I can only watch pantomime. This is unlikely to be solved in a short period of time. If you don't consider the cost, you can actually use wind spells to transmit the sound, but due to the distance problem, it will inevitably lead to the sound and picture being out of sync, and the farther away it is, the more obvious it is, even for several minutes, the viewing experience is bound to be very poor, and it is better to have no sound at all.
And if you don't use wind spells, you're left with only theoretically feasible methods. One is to convert the sound into an optical signal, which is transmitted and then converted back into sound. Someone has tried to use the wind magic array to urge the light spell, and then sense the change of the light spell from a distance, and then turn it into a wind spell. Unfortunately, there has been no progress.
Or you can open a space door, send sound directly into the space door, and then come out through the space door at the other end. Unfortunately, it has not been successful so far. There are still many theoretically feasible methods, but they are either too sci-fi or too magical, and everyone can only watch pantomime at present.
Third, most of the programs watched by Crystal Ball are live broadcasts, at least for now. The crystal ball is to observe the stage in the distance to achieve the effect of watching the show, which is basically a live broadcast. Of course, there are also long-form comic dynamic pictures, but dynamic pictures are not popular, and the frame rate is too low, and they are characterized as children's watches, so the proportion of programs occupied is also small.
As a result of these inherent characteristics, several problems arise. The first is naturally the difficulty of popularization, which is mainly in cost. Even if it is a civilian version, it is still a bit expensive for civilians, but it is not enough to say that it is unaffordable. It is believed that with the passage of time, the technology will be updated and will naturally become more and more popular.
Second, due to its pantomime nature, a new profession was born - voice actors. These people are mainly composed of the original bards, and now many taverns have bought a crystal ball, which can be placed on the wall through light projection spells, which can be viewed by drinkers. With this vivid crystal ball stage, the role of the bard can only adapt, otherwise he will not survive sooner or later.
But here is a special test of the bard's skills, you must know that the picture released by the crystal ball is a live broadcast, even if you get the program list in advance, it is still very difficult to synchronize the dubbing on the spot. However, drunkards are not too strict, and it doesn't matter if they are wrong, and some people even deliberately mix them out of order to cause laughter.
Of course, there will be embarrassing things, it is said that there are minstrels, and half of them are dubbed, so they can only turn around in embarrassment: "Actually, I don't know what they are playing, I made it up in front, and I can't make it up." ”
The drunkards fell into a deathly silence, but soon laughed and didn't pay much attention. It's just that the bard himself is ashamed.
Soon, whether the dubbing can be done well has become a new indicator of whether the bard is excellent, and those who were originally good at spraying people can only go to the Internet to spray happily.
Third, the number of programs is insufficient. Originally, in a village, a troupe would come to a theater troupe every week, and it would take about two hours to perform. Now with the crystal ball, it's 24 hours a day. There are a large number of vacancies at this time, and how to fill them is a big problem.
You can't replay it unless you let the troupe do it again. You can't just pull anyone to the stage, after all, it's for a region. And prior review is also a problem, if it is a new drama, it has to be performed in front of the reviewers before it can be on stage.
In addition, it is not enough to review it in advance, after all, it is a live broadcast, and if anyone suddenly changes the script, it must be stopped in time. So when the performance is performed, the auditor has to continue to sit down and watch.
But fortunately, the pantomime will not convey a lot of information, and the actors don't have to memorize their lines. At the same time, because of the expression hat on his head, the plot itself can still be as rich as possible.
And how to solve the problem of program vacancies, there are still many ways. Civilian crystal balls are not only used for entertainment, but also for learning. So I simply set up a special time slot, turn a book there, turn a page every half a minute or a minute, and read the book remotely. Or get some scenery map or something, and flip through it in half a minute. Or invite someone to come on stage to perform a craft, or a warrior to come up and play a set, etc.
On the other hand, the introduction of some foreign high-quality programs, especially long-form comic dynamic pictures, this thing is convenient to screen, mainly because it can be repeated and can drag on for a long time.
Of course, there are more than these uses for civilian crystal balls. You must know that the crystal ball can complete remote observation, so if there are two crystal balls, observing each other separately, isn't that equivalent to "close at hand"?
Although it is not possible to transmit sound, it is still possible to communicate remotely and in real time through gestures and even writing. Therefore, the improvement of the website is also extremely considerable, for example, a netizen has a crystal ball, and the website also has a crystal ball.
The two sides observe each other, what gestures and pointers do netizens, the website can be shown to him directly, he wants to write a comment, and after writing the website, he can let the octopus copy it, which can be said to be epic for the improvement of Internet speed. From the original half-day parrot back and forth, it has now been shortened to less than one minute, all-weather transmission, not affected by the weather, not affected by the parrot's mood.
The speed of information transmission will increase substantially, and new and curious things will emerge one after another in the future, and it is also an inevitable trend of development. But undoubtedly the positioning of the parrot has become awkward.
Parrots are still irreplaceable in military reconnaissance and maintaining urban law and order, but these are directly under the military or sheriffs, what should be done with those retired parrots? Could it be that in just a few years, parrots have completed their mission on the Internet?
The appearance of the crystal ball caused a lot of discordant sounds in the parrot world, and many parrots began to be disappointed in the prospects, fell into a daze, and began to be lazy at work. Anyway, they eat a small amount of food, and they can survive by eating a little bit. But in this way, it has given rise to the website to step up the purchase of crystal balls. And the emotions of retired parrots have even infected the parrots who are making up, and the situation seems to be a little bad.
Kevin didn't care much about that, he didn't have a parrot with him, and the crow was still in jail. The country has a lot of problems every day, and everything has to be worried, and sooner or later it will die.
At 10 o'clock on the weekend, Kevin asked a few young teachers to go to the tavern to see the crystal ball. Now Kevin and a few young teachers are also familiar with each other, and often do activities together, of course, including Little Spoon and Sain, but Sain is on duty today, and at least one of the two of them must stay in school, strictly speaking, they can't run both.
The school also has a crystal ball, and you can watch a lot of stages, but the school always doesn't have this atmosphere, and there is no one to dub it, so everyone still agrees to watch it in the tavern.
Today's scene is very simple for the prince to save the princess, at the beginning the princess is imprisoned in the tower, the prince comes to intercede with the king, and the king raises his right hand with a fierce face.
The bard in the tavern immediately dubbed: "Do you believe that I will smoke you to death?"
The prince's mouth opened, and the bard voiced again: "I don't believe it!"
But the next second the prince knelt down, and the bard hurriedly continued: "...... It's impossible. ”
Laughter erupted in the tavern, and sometimes it was fun to look for these flaws.
The prince suddenly stood up again, his arms outstretched, as if to speak impassionedly. Bard voices: "I'm sure you'll pump me, but I'm not afraid, I'm true to the princess." Your Majesty, please marry me the princess. ”
The king nodded, turned and sat down on the throne behind him, waved his hand to the left and right guards, and then said a few words. Bard voices: "Very good, you are very brave, I appreciate you, I am willing to give you some reward, but princess, forget it." Come, give the prince some reward. ”
The left and right guards knocked the prince down, and then slapped him in the mouth more than a dozen times in a row.
For a while, many people with hats had a "???" expression on their heads.
Kevin laughed as he glanced out the window to see a few parrots standing on a branch. Although the parrot couldn't see its expression, it always felt as if it was planning something.
And the next moment, as if to verify Kevin's intuition, the parrot rushed straight down, all the way through the window, and swept over the crystal ball on the table. Suddenly, the crystal ball rolled off the table and shattered. The parrot flew away and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
