Chapter 45: An assistant is needed
In fact, the effect of the "Convergence Beamsplitter" depends entirely on the quality of the picture itself, at most because the light and shadow fluctuate, and it will have a slightly three-dimensional effect.
But it is precisely this sense of three-dimensionality that gives the painting a sense of life.
I have to say that this portrait is really suitable for the use of "aggregate beamsplitter".
Colin was able to fix this thing in such a short period of time, in addition to thinking about and studying Schiller Mora's "Gramogram Machine" concept, the most important thing is that the technology used in the "Convergence Beamsplitter" happened to be similar to the protective magic pattern on the magic loom of the Golden Chamber of Commerce, which happened to collide with his research direction.
I have to say that in the past half a year, he has made rapid progress on the topic of "the relationship between the wind element and space magic".
With the in-depth study of "space magic" and its practical application, Colin found that it can solve many traditional problems in the wizarding world, and even has a sense of dimensionality reduction.
For example, the various technical problems that Sir Schiller Mora gave in the concept of the "photographic camera" could be solved from another angle in Colin's opinion, but after carefully studying the "polymerizing beamsplitter", many of his original doubts became clear.
At the same time, Roman Sagan, who was helpless at the beginning, was not difficult to solve this problem after half a year of joint research with Colin.
Colin even suspected that the teacher had thought of this and had deliberately asked himself to come over to repair the machine for Duke Violet.
In any case, Colin was very happy to be able to help the Duke and inspire his own research.
At this time.
Duke Fairmont Hawthorne just woke up from a dream, and he sighed slightly:
"This is my wife, Veronica's mother, I'm afraid Tessa can't even remember what she looks like."
Tessa nodded: "When the Duchess passed away, I was still very young, but I can still remember how she felt when she hugged me, and now when I see this portrait, it seems that the lady is alive again." ”
Duke Violet walked up to Colin's side, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a little relief:
"You're good, Colin, thank you."
"It's my honor to be able to solve the problems of the Duke." Colin bowed his head slightly.
"You don't have to be so polite in the future, if you don't mind, you can call me Fairmont like Tessa."
Duke Violet said: "You are here for the first time, I don't know what you like, live here tonight, in this mansion, what do you like, tell me tomorrow, it will be used as a gift for you." ”
"You're so polite, Gong...... Uncle Fairmont. Colin bent down.
……
Early the next morning.
The carriage leaves the Duke's palace.
Colin held the six "magic and mechanical" drawings he had asked for from the Duke of Violet, and obsessively looked at them up close.
The masculine texture brought by the industrial and mechanical style gave him special enjoyment without any artistic cells.
"It's a good thing that these paintings have no artistic value, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to appreciate them." Colin was a little complacent.
Then he asked Tessa beside him a little uneasily: "Senior sister, I heard that these paintings are still very expensive, so I asked the Duke like this, it won't make him unhappy." ”
Tessa looked at him with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter how valuable things are, he will give them to you." ”
……
Back at the Mage Tower, Colin rushed back to the room, hung the six paintings around the wall, and then stood in the center of the room, looked around in a circle, and felt very satisfied.
After looking at it for a long time, he turned and sat down at his desk.
His eyes looked out the window and fell into deep thought.
Half a day.
Colin took a standard blank piece of grey finch paper and picked up the quill pen in the inkwell.
The nib of the pen rests against the paper.
After a moment of hesitation, he finally wrote down a line.
"Preliminary Design Scheme for "Imaging Machine".
……
……
Three days later.
Inside Roman Sagan's study.
"I asked Tessa to take you to see Fairmont, and it did mean that I would let you see the 'polymerization splitter', but I didn't expect you to be able to fix it on the spot, and what I didn't expect was that you actually took out the design plan of the 'Imaging Camera'?"
Roman Sagan had read the sketch of the "Phonograph" design that Colin had brought many times.
"Sir Mora is a top magician, and his thinking is a great inspiration to me." Colin Road.
"The Principality of Gilman has been able to achieve its current achievements because of the unremitting efforts of generations."
Roman nodded, then returned his gaze to the manuscript and said:
"Not to mention the content, your paper and experimental process are very standard, even if it is placed in the top magic academy of the Western Continent Blue Alliance, it can be regarded as an excellent design."
"Ask the teacher to help me see if there is anything that needs to be changed."
"The calculation process is definitely fine, but in the experimental part, there are some things that I can't be sure of, such as this, the dark magic pattern, this is not just a design problem, you must have a very experienced mechanic to help you build a shadowless room." Roman Road.
"That's why I came to the teacher."
"Skilled builder, you can go to Finia from the Youjin Chamber of Commerce, if she can't solve it either, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the Artisan Guild and ask."
"Okay." Colin nodded, and then asked, "Also, teacher, I need a few assistants." ”
"What kind of assistant." Roman asked.
"The best is a beginner magician, or a better magic apprentice, and a lot of auxiliary experiments are done by me, which is too time-consuming." Colin Road.
"Then go find a few." Roman doesn't care.
"But I don't know where to look." Colin was a little embarrassed.
"It's true that the Youjin Chamber of Commerce has provided for a lot of magicians, but they basically have their own work to do, my suggestion is to either go to the major academies and ask, or go directly to the Magic Association, doesn't Berkeley look at you differently?"
"I see."
Colin nodded, and was about to say goodbye and leave, when he suddenly remembered something, took out another piece of gray finch paper from his pocket, and said:
"By the way, teacher, I have something to ask you."
As he spoke, he handed Roman the special meditation method he had recorded, and recounted the story of the Trial Tower.
Roman was taken aback at this moment, and after looking back and forth from Colin and the paper several times, and confirming the facts again and again, he said with some disbelief:
"I know you're gifted with a lot of languages, and you'll be able to master Elven and Dwarven languages in a few days, but that's an exaggeration."
"I used the evolution of several generations of elves to work backwards to come to the conclusion that this is an ancient elven language, but to be honest, I confirmed that I was not wrong after actually using it to successfully pass the trial tower."
Colin uses his previously established linguistic genius character, coupled with half-truths and half-truths, to believe that he can fool the past.
And that's exactly what happened.
Although Roman Sagan was shocked and speechless, after all, the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't think of any other explanation.
He picked up the meditation method again, looked at it for a long time, and said:
"Elven spells have always been known for their natural harmony, and no matter what the effect is, at least the side effects should not be large, let alone go mad."
He thought about it again and again, and continued:
"But just in case, it's better to be careful, you're doing the right thing. I'll put this thing here for now, and I'll talk about it later. ”
"Thank you, teacher."
Colin didn't know if the teacher was going to try the law or if he was going to find an elven acquaintance to confirm.
Anyway, no matter what, it's better than practicing blindly.
