Chapter 202 Nine light-emitting structures
"Well, not bad, not bad, the images contained in the slide card are not distorted, and basically record my handsome side."
The next day.
Duke opened the "Daily Shenjiao City" compiled by Mu Lali, admiring the picture of himself on the front page of the newspaper.
As for the smiling old man on the other side of the picture, he automatically ignored it.
This is not the first time Duke has been in the newspapers. He was interviewed by many reporters on the day of the Bell Ringing Ceremony at the Tower of Faling.
But this is his first photo published in a newspaper.
It is not as clear as the photos, but the light and shadow images recorded on the slide card are artificially rubbed onto the paper, which will inevitably be blurred and distorted. But he thinks that his handsomeness can be clearly distinguished even if the pixels are a little lower.
"Xiao Lili, what do you think?"
"Mr.'s photo is of course good-looking, handsome and energetic." Mu Lali nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Then he thought of something and asked, "Sir, do you want to send a copy of "Daily Shenjiao City" to Ms. Kiriya?"
Duke squinted and said, "She hasn't decided yet."
"I'm afraid that Ms. Kiria won't have time to read the newspaper. She has been practicing so hard recently that Aunt Jiss dare not disturb her cultivation casually."
"Then you still bother her?"
"I'm not here to help you, sir..." Mu Lali said in a lower voice.
Because Duke's complexion has darkened, he hates subordinates who make their own decisions, especially those who make decisions for him: "If you have nothing to do, learn how to repair cards."
"I see, sir, I...I promise to learn how to repair the card."
"Go."
Duke knocked on the little assistant who was a bit sloppy. Although Kylia Nutao is a fair lady and a gentleman, he has always adhered to the idea of letting nature take its course.
Right now, the focus is on career.
After all, Arcane Masters have a long lifespan. When they are promoted to a higher level, let alone the heavenly daughters of the Seven Towers Federation, they are the heavenly daughters of eighteen countries in the entire Manghuang mainland.
With no one to disturb him, Duke was busy with his Psi wave experiment and slide card experiment.
It was not until the afternoon that Mu Lali came over carefully to report: "Sir, Team Leader Dellas is going to submit the completed materials of the research team to you."
"Have you finished all the experiments of the subject?" Duke was a little belated.
This is a subject in the tower assigned by the instructor. After he lost his mind, he basically didn't care much about the specific experimental operation. He just collected data every day and asked Xiaoyi to help analyze and sort it out.
"Yes, it's done."
"Send him over here."
"yes."
Mulali quickly brought Team Leader Dellas in.
itself was a simple subject in the tower, and the time was over a few months ago, without any accidents. Duke encouraged Dellas and asked Mu Lali to arrange a celebration dinner at night.
ended the communication with Dras.
Then, he went through the final experimental data carefully and handed it over to Xiaoyi for processing.
Not even a minute wasted, Xiaoyi had already written the thesis, so Duke typed out the content one by one with a typewriter according to what Xiaoyi wrote.
Stay up until after-hours.
"A Study on the Replacement Effect of Cuihai Valley's New Spiritual Materials in the Spiritual Energy Release Channel and Spiritual Energy Infusion Channel of the Chuling Card".
A 38-page, 47,000-word paper is freshly released with the smell of ink.
"It's not my brain that restricts my writing speed, but my typing efficiency... This old-fashioned typewriter is too complicated to operate, but it's still comfortable to type on a computer keyboard." Duke received the papers together and patted them with his hands.
Then he bound it himself and sent it to the office of Director Vikas.
Vikas was already getting ready to leave work. When Duke sent the paper, he simply put it on the table: "The tutor will come back tomorrow, and I will give it to him."
A simple topic in the tower, which lasted for several months before handing in the paper.
This is about the same speed as a normal level 1 arcanist.
Director Vikas smiled and said, "Compared to the previous two papers, the speed of this paper is somewhat perfunctory, Duke."
Duke smiled: "Have a drink tonight?"
"No, the third daughter celebrates her birthday today, so I agreed to go."
"That's fine, I'll go back too."
After saying goodbye, Duke returned to his villa by shuttle with his assistants and entourage. As soon as he entered the villa, he saw a guest arriving early.
"I didn't read the newspapers, but I didn't know that Duke was on the headlines of "Daily Shenjiao City" and won the Outstanding Knowledgeable Invention Award!" One of the visitors was Joanna Bobcat, "I knew you had a talent for research!"
"Joanna, Margot...how did you come here?" Duke was not surprised.
Shangxingcheng District and Beverly Manor are next to each other. The arcane masters living in these two districts often visit each other without saying hello.
"Come over for dinner."
"Small, butler Morris has already arranged everything." Duke greeted several arcanists who came one by one, "I'll go up and change clothes first, take a shower, and come down immediately."
"You go, let's play cards for a while."
The arcanists who came here were either 1st ring or 2nd ring.
Arcanists who have reached the 3rd ring level will build mage towers and castles in the outskirts, connect the spiritual spring with spiritual spring water pipes, and the entire family will live in the castle.
Only low-level arcane mages who cannot afford to build their own mage tower will live in the community.
After Duke took a shower and changed into home clothes, the game was over. After the butler Morris asked him for instructions, he immediately served dinner.
Everyone chatted while eating.
"Duke, are you going to develop in the Learning Tower?" an arcanist asked.
"There is no such plan."
"But your portable lamp has helped you win the Outstanding Erudite Invention Award, which proves your talent in the field of natural history."
didn't wait for Duke to answer.
Joanna replied on behalf of Duke: "Imran, Duke is not only talented in natural history, he is also talented in the field of card making, and if he is an arcanist, he is also full of talent. He is a genius arcanist."
"Joanna, you speak so nicely, but I would feel a little embarrassed if you said that." Duke joked.
Perhaps it was because Joanna followed Joanna and went to the United Tower once to comprehend the vine of protection and mystery, which made Joanna amazed at him.
Therefore, he paid special attention to Duke and gradually became a firm "believer" of Duke.
I firmly believe that Duke will be able to go further in the field of spiritual mysteries.
"I'm not exaggerating. You can make cards as easily as you can play, you can write papers as fast as you can drink water, and you can win the Outstanding Natural Invention Award for any idea you have... Everyone here, do you think Duke is the same as us?" Joanna was still bragging about Duke.
Everyone is basically used to it.
Imran cut the beef with a dining knife, and said casually: "Although I agree that Duke is a genius, it doesn't require Joanna to remind him every day."
Margot also said: "Yeah, if you remind me like this, I don't like coming to Duke anymore. It's very stressful to be with geniuses."
Duke said: "Actually, I am not a genius. I just sweat a little more than ordinary people."
"I sweat every day, but I don't think it's useful." Another Fandral, who is very fat and has to wipe his sweat after eating, muttered loudly.
The few arcane masters who came here are basically consultants of the Shenjiao City Hotel.
belonged to the same clique, a clique centered around Joanna.
Duke didn’t have a very close relationship with them, mainly because Orianna admired him and often came to him, bringing her small circle along with her.
Dinner is over.
Everyone also left separately.
Orianna didn't leave in a hurry, but enjoyed the cool air on the big terrace with Duke.
"That Vivian has a really good figure." Joanna praised Vivian, who was practicing fighting qi and martial arts in the yard, "I can keep her in the villa, which size do you like the most? Or your cute little assistant?"
"Well." Duke said truthfully, "I'm already an adult, why should I choose?"
"Haha, you are really honest." Joanna was overjoyed, "I can't usually tell that you have such a personality."
"The usual me and the current me are all me."
"Okay, you've lived a clear life." Joanna took a sip of the juice, "By the way, tell me about your lovely neighbor."
"You mean Kiria Rage? Why are you talking about her?"
"I'm curious, others have called me that before, but I haven't been recognized by many people, so I don't know what the difference is."
Duke took a closer look at Joanna and thought to himself, this is a bit too bad.
Family background, Kiria is from an earl family, and Joanna is from a baron family; appearance, Kiria's full score is 9.9 out of 10, and Joanna's is at most 8 points; Talent, Kylia was promoted to an arcanist at the age of 18, which is slightly worse than Duke, while Joanna was promoted at the age of 21.
Seemingly understanding what Duke was thinking, Joanna immediately raised a middle finger: "From the look in your eyes, I already understand that Kiria is crushing me in all directions, right?"
"Eh..." Duke thought deeply.
It took a long time to reply: "You get along better than her. To be honest, I like Joanna better. You are like a friend, and there is no pressure to get along."
"It's hard for you to find out my strengths."
"No, no, no, you have your shining points, there is no need to compare."
"You can talk." Joanna finished drinking the juice, stretched her waist, got up and said, "I'm leaving, don't disturb you, your guard captain, and little assistant, live happily together."
Duke smiled and sent Joanna out.
…
"Outstanding erudite invention award, very good young arcanist, isn't it." Clarinda put down the newspaper.
"If you're not good enough, why should I let you read the newspaper?" Across the desk was a mid-mature female Arcane Mage, "Erwin is already preparing to apply for the title of polymath for him, and I won this title when I was forty."
"Kiston was still saying before that the spirituality of Heijiaohe is no longer there, and there is no successor. Isn't there a newcomer emerging?"
"What do you think about the giant of light?" asked the female arcanist.
"Aziguli, don't worry." Kleinda looked down at the big boy with a charming smile on the newspaper, "The giant of light does not conflict with us, how much market can a single lamp seize, and we need to take action?"
"I didn't think about making a move. You and I are both arcane mages with a ring 3. If you bully a little guy with a ring 1, I would be ashamed." Aziguli said, "I just remind you that although the giant of light is weak, how do you know that it will not grow into a giant one day."
"Don't worry, Shenjiao City Spirit Artifact Market cannot accommodate two giants."
"I send you."
Kleinda sent Aziguli to the mage tower all the way, and the other party was a 3rd-ring Austrian mage, the head of the legal department of the Boxue Tower, and deserved to be treated so solemnly.
Waiting for the shuttle to leave in the rain, he walked slowly towards the spiritual staircase.
As a director of the Observation Tower, a three-ring arcane mage, and also the chairman of Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory, Kleinda is no longer interested in academic research.
The reason is simple, he is very old.
Now I just want to grow the Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory, and leave this foundation to the younger generations of the family.
"Giant of Light..." The spiritual ladder rose rapidly, and through the glass cover, one could see the entire Shenjiao City, shrouded in the midsummer torrential rain.
You can vaguely see a street not far away, on the rail train platform, a colorful advertisement picture on a slide card.
Above is a giant made of light, illuminating the city below.
"Ambition is not small!"
Clarinda showed a cold smile on the corner of her mouth: "A series of patents have been registered around portable lights and other products, and a considerable patent pool has been built. But the patent pool cannot defend against it. I will profit from Wanjia's upcoming attack!"
Ding Dong.
The spiritual ladder stopped at the top floor, and Clarinda walked back to her office.
Not long after, a secretary led a person in. When the person saw Clarinda, he immediately saluted respectfully: "My lord."
"You're welcome, take a seat, Grayson."
"Thank you, my lord." Grayson sat on half of his buttocks.
"Giant of Light's company is very popular recently. Even the Tower of Knowledge gave him the Outstanding Knowledgeable Invention Award. How do you think we need to deal with it?" Kleinda asked.
Greyson replied cautiously: "I have summoned the design department to study the product of the Giant of Light for a long time. It is indeed a very brilliant invention. Although there is no breakthrough in technological advancement, the use of light sources is refreshing."
"so what."
"My lord, my idea is to copy the products of the Giant of Light." Grayson replied, "It is only a small category of lamps and lanterns, and the profit is very low. There is no need to compete with great fanfare. Just copy, pay the patent infringement fee, and then keep our market. It will be difficult for the Giant of Light to break through."
"Did you know that Duke has established a not-so-shallow patent pool in the Erudition Tower around the portable lamp? The infringement fee is not cheap."
"Even if all the profits from the lamps are used to pay the infringement fees, as long as the giant of light is killed, everything will return to the original state."
"No." Kleinda directly denied, "Patent infringement is not enough!"
He turned his gaze to the sky outside the window, and a bird flew past the window. In the next second, it seemed to be bound by something, and then burst into a ball of plasma.
Kleinda then turned around and looked at Grayson with cold eyes: "I want to completely cut off the influence of the portable lamp. So, after you go back, immediately improve the spiritual wind lamp, improve it according to the style of the portable lamp, and then defeat the giant of light with new products!"
"This... my lord, the structure of the portable light has been patented..."
"It's just a structural patent. The protection of this patent is not strong. At worst, you can go to the Boxue Tower to file a lawsuit. Moreover, you can design our spiritual wind lamp to be more beautiful and complex. In short, it is different from the portable lamp."
"I see, my lord." Grayson understood.
Kleinda nodded: "Do it, I want to see Runwanjia's move as soon as possible, from product to publicity, all-round move!"
"Yes!" Grayson stood up and said goodbye.
Clarinda was the only one left in the office. His eyes became gloomy, staring at the young man with a handsome smile on the cover of "Daily Shen Jiao City" on the table.
smiled sullenly: "Erwin applies for the title of polymath for you, then I will destroy your title of polymath!"
Clenching her fists, Clarinda slammed the table fiercely: "Damn Erwin, I have invented so many spiritual weapons over the years, even in the field of quasi-arcane weapons, and I have also bought a lot of mortal ideas. I don't even want to apply for a polymath title!"
"I also said that my invention doesn't have much value in dissemination... The continuous supply and patina technology I bought the year before last can obviously greatly improve the efficiency of card repair and card production. Why do you say that it is not worth much? This is already the best patent I bought!"
Dangdang, the secretary knocked on the door after hearing the movement: "My lord, do you have something to order?"
"roll!"
"Yes, my lord."
The secretary obediently left, and Kleinda restrained her anger. She just murmured softly to herself: "If you say I don't have the talent of a polymath, I will let Runwanjia rule the entire spirit weapon market and stop everyone with the talent of a polymath!"
…
The Giant of Light is developing fiercely. Duke, who promised not to interfere with the company's operations, couldn't hold back and ran over to inspect it again.
"Sir, according to your instructions, the R&D department is designing replacement products." Vuillard accompanied Duke on the tour.
Duke said before that the update speed of the product must be fast, especially in the design of the appearance, we must keep improving, and strive to make the small portable light play out and play a high-grade texture.
At the same time, the quality is ensured, so that the products of the Giant of Light can be seen at a glance, which is a level higher than other products.
"It's not enough!" Duke had a new idea, "I think there are two directions for the portable light series products."
Villard immediately took out his notebook, ready to write it down seriously.
Duke also said with quite a leadership style: "One is to strengthen the light source. The R&D department should optimize the circuit of the wick, find out a more suitable energy line structure for lighting, so as to improve the brightness of the light, and strive to launch the 'strong light hand lamp' as soon as possible!"
He replaced the concept of a strong flashlight with a strong hand lamp.
Vial nodded approvingly while recording. In his opinion, Duke’s speech is always refreshing.
Guides the new direction of future development, making people no longer confused.
Duke continued: "Another one is miniaturization. Since the product is called a portable light, it is necessary to dig out the word portable. The current built-in storage card portable light is still very thick and big, and it is still uncomfortable to carry on the body, so we need to study smaller portable lights."
"Yes, sir." Vuillard quickly wrote it down.
Made some high-level remarks, Duke also inspected the R&D department, and then had a light meal here in the formula building.
After returning to Penrose Mage Tower, he quickly ordered Xiaoyi: "Report the progress."
"Good master, there are four processes currently running...Process 1: Exclusive Meditation Method...Process 2: Illusory Arcane Wonders...Process 3: Sand Eagle 1.52 Special Effect Bullet-Elemental Version...Process 4: Interactive program..."
"Add a new process."
"Master, please give me your instructions."
"Study on the structural optimization and improvement of portable lights. There are two optimization directions, one is to strengthen the light source, and the other is to compress the volume."
"Good master, I have added a new process for you...Process 4: Research and development of portable light structure..." Xiaoyi quickly made arrangements.
Duke smiled with satisfaction.
Go to the Giant of Light to inspect and issue orders to the R&D department, just to spur the R&D and design personnel to keep them idle.
In fact, when it comes to the optimization and improvement of portable lights, he still believes in his own Xiaoyi.
Afterwards, he started to work on his other two experiments. The portable lamp was just a small idea, and the magnetic wave and video slide card could be regarded as great inventions.
Now on his experimental bench, there is already a hand-made, slightly rough machine, which has more than 30 slide cards inserted.
Duke made a rotating device at the bottom of the machine, so that the Chu Ling card can instantly supply energy to more than 30 slide cards in sequence through rotation, so as to achieve the picture playback of the slide cards in a certain order.
However, when he saw this machine, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
"Slide card...portable lamp...the wick structure of the portable lamp is to intercept the light-emitting structure in the spell model of the slide card..."
Duke clapped his hands suddenly: "Yes, the slide cards can be played together in a set, so why can't the portable lights use multiple wicks at once?"
Each wick is a separate light-emitting structure, equivalent to a light bulb.
He clearly remembered that some of the strong flashlights on the earth used many bulbs to gather together to enhance the brightness of the light.
It seems that LED materials are used, that is, semiconductors that can emit light. Many LED chips can be placed on one board to emit light together, and the brightness can brighten the eyes.
"If I connect several or dozens of light-emitting structures in series on the energy line circuit of the wick, will the brightness be enhanced?"
Think here.
Duke didn't delay at all. He put down the research on the slide card and started to dismantle the wick of the portable lamp to prove his idea.
The idea proved to be very successful.
When he added a second light-emitting structure to the wick, the wick successfully emitted brighter light after supplying energy, and even the third and fourth light-emitting structures successfully emitted brighter light.
"The bright hand lamp is ready!" Duke laughed.
The next moment, he suddenly stopped smiling, then closed his eyes and began to look inside.
According to the successful verification of the idea of the strong light hand lamp, many insights accumulated in my mind, which exploded at this moment.
Let his understanding of spiritual mysteries reach a new level.
In the inner view, the spiritual core ring in the center of the spiritual sea reappeared, and a new protruding part was added, allowing the absolute ring to transition to a twisted loop structure. It can already be seen vaguely, the structure of the spell model.
"Huh!"
Waiting for the changes in the spiritual core to stabilize, Duke opened his eyes and exhaled a foul breath.
The reason why arcane masters continue to study spiritual mysteries is not that all arcane masters are scientific madmen, but that in the process of research, they can continue to recognize spiritual mysteries and advance.
This is the way of cultivation of the arcanist.
Even arcanists who focus on combat must constantly study arcane arts and elements in order to improve their level.
"I thought I could only make some money by relying on portable lamps, but I didn't expect that it really gave me the understanding of spiritual mysteries. Then, it's time to study in depth!"
Duke is in no rush to apply for a patent.
Pocket lights are selling very hot now, squeeze out the potential first, and when the potential of the portable lights is insufficient, then use the strong light hand light technology.
"continue!"
The experiment continued. With Duke's operation, he was able to add nine light-emitting structures to the energy line loop of the wick, and the light emitted was like a small sun.
He experimented at night, and the nine light-emitting structure lamp heads can illuminate a distance of 400 meters.
"The tactical light on my Sand Eagle pistol is almost as bright as the light." Duke is very satisfied with the effect of the strong light.
However, when he was about to further increase the luminous structure, he found that if the tenth luminous structure was added, the entire energy circuit would collapse.
In any case, it cannot break through the ten light-emitting structures.
"Why is this?" Duke called for support, "Xiao Yi, come and analyze."
"Master, from Xiaoyi's point of view, the lamp head and wick is a simplified slide card spell model structure. The structure can carry the redundancy of light-emitting structures. The maximum limit is nine. Once there are more than nine, the model structure will be overloaded, which will lead to collapse."
"Understood." Duke really understood.
The spell model is a complete loop. Under the condition of not changing the level of the ring, its change has a certain range, and it is impossible to expand infinitely.
The same is true for the wick. If there are more than nine luminous structures, the underlying logic will be destroyed.
"The limit of one wick is just like this, but this is not the limit of the glare hand lamp. I can definitely add new wicks..." Duke stretched comfortably, and said in his heart, "Xiaoyi, disassemble the relevant patents for me!"
