Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds

　　Alchemy Workshop

Harvey used the enchanting table to carefully study the illusion crystal that he got from Kenneth that could be "photographed". This time he was more cautious. At present, there is only one special illusion crystal. If you accidentally break it Harvey needs to go to Norton, the capital of the kingdom, to buy it in person, and because there are too many unpopular ones, it may not be possible to buy.

　　 "Are these the gifts Mr. Randolph said?"

　　 The enchantment table activated the illusion crystal, and a dozen "photographs" were projected around it. Seeing these photos, Harvey somewhat understood why Kenneth didn't pay much attention to the function of the illusion crystal. The projection function of the illusion crystal is very good. Even so, it cannot be 100% real. The material projection still has a sense of illusion of light and shadow. The photos of the illusion crystal inherit this shortcoming. The photos look very illusory and the visual effects are extremely poor.

　　 "I guess there is no lens or film in this world..." Harvey smiled bitterly and shook his head. He wanted to make a magical version of the camera and the amount of work would be larger than he thought. In his previous life, he was not a photography-related person. He knew little about photography. If he knew the lens parameters or principles, he would be confident that he could make substitutes such as lenses.

The projected photos are all records of horses, taken from all directions and corners. The muscle lines of the horses in the photos are particularly clear, and the explosive power of the raised muscles can be clearly felt. Kenneth used them to make the unicorn illusion projection. data.

　　 By comparing the photos, Harvey carefully observed each enchanted magic circle structure of this special illusion crystal and judged its effect.

"It should be possible to find a substitute. The illusion crystal itself is a whole similar to a camera. It already has basic camera functions. Perhaps you can adjust the photographic effect by adjusting the magic circle." Although the principle of photography is the same, the composition of the illusion crystal and the camera is the same. But there is no relationship. The camera is based on continuous photography to form a coherent picture.

Illusion crystals are said to have been studied by ancient spellcasters based on human eyeball functions. At that time, magic was almost omnipotent. Illusion crystals were based on the caster’s understanding of human eyeballs and invented magic arrays with similar functions. Illusion crystals "see" The images of will be stored in the special substance inside the illusion crystal, and then when you want to project these pictures, the magic circle will directly project the pictures recorded in the special substance.

　　 Harvey controlled the enchanting table to continue to analyze the internal structure of the illusion crystal, and gradually got a sense of the illusion crystal.

"Ordinary illusion crystals can sense the light reflected by the material at 360 degrees without a dead angle. This illusion crystal is only slightly improved to form a lens, and it is more like a technological retrogression. No wonder Kenneth said that this thing can only be used by a few unpopular people. It’s only used in the realm."

　　Indulged in research, in the evening Harvey took the time to go out to eat the dinner that Shirley had made, and then ordered her to make some pastries that could satisfy her hunger, with more portions, so that he would eat immediately when he felt hungry in the alchemy workshop.

After studying for a whole day, Harvey felt as if he had researched something and didn’t understand anything. He was a little discouraged lying on the cold floor and meditating: “It is very necessary to recall the knowledge of physics in junior high school. The camera principle remembers that it is a small hole imaging. The most important thing is the calculation of the image distance. There is a formula."

　　 Harvey regrets returning all the knowledge of the nine-year compulsory education to the school. After racking his brains, he can't recall a little bit of physics knowledge, but he remembers the appearance of his physics teacher.

　　 "As long as you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you are not afraid to travel all over the world. This sentence is as simple as a famous saying!"

Harvey does not intend to give up easily. Although most of the science and technology trees or magic trees in this world are ordered by spellcasters, the knowledge and technology that ordinary people have researched is limited, but someone must have studied something as simple as hole imaging, he The source of confidence is the instrument used to test myopia when she took Shirley to the optician's last time to wear glasses.

　　 At this point, Harvey did not continue to blindly study, exited the tower of the mage, took a bath and entered a meditation state to restore the mental power consumed by operating the enchanting table.

The next morning, after a long search, he finally found a book recording the principle of small hole imaging in the corner of the Elroy Library. It recorded various experimental data in detail. This book was classified as biology. Academically, it belongs to the study of human eyes. The principle is not complicated at first. With the research data of this book, Harvey is even more powerful, and directly starts to calculate the image distance and recall modern knowledge to conduct experiments.

　　His goal is to make a camera that can project the image directly and clearly on the white cloth. It is not difficult to achieve this effect with illusion crystals, and it is a lot easier to research.

After finding the direction for several weeks, Harvey’s research has made new progress every day. Based on the magic crystal, the magic array has been continuously improved, and the photographed images are clearer. When projecting images, they are no longer projections out of thin air. Can be projected onto white cloth to form a clearer image.

　　······

　　 In the dimly lit room, the doors and windows were closed, and only a faint oil lamp was lit.

　　 Harvey sat in a chair nervously and looked at the front wall, where a white cloth was fixed. If you observe its shape and size, you will find that this white cloth is actually a tablecloth. A palm-sized wooden box was placed next to Harvey. A faint light leaked from a round hole in the wooden door. When Harvey placed his hand on the wooden box, the light from the hole began to converge and the light emitted even more. To be bright and form a clear image on the white cloth.

　　 The maid Shirley sat gently beside Harvey, curiously watching the countdown appear on the white cloth.

　　 "3."

"2."

"1."

　　 There is nothing special about the beginning of the film. It is as simple as the first film documentary that appeared on the earth, recording a scene of a maid preparing breakfast.

Seeing the long-lost picture, Harvey’s nose is a bit sour. Although the projection picture is not as clear as the movie theater, at best the school projector level, but the film is colored, and the coherent picture looks no different from modern movies. It has been a remarkable success, spanning the fruits of half a century of modern people on earth.

Shirley was also surprised to see the white cloth showing a familiar and unfamiliar figure~www.readwn.com~ She had never seen herself preparing breakfast with such a peculiar vision. Her lips opened slightly because of surprise, and she asked curiously: "Master ,this is···"

　　 Harvey, who has been surrounded by a sense of accomplishment, opened his mouth and smiled brightly: "The results of my research during this period are still very imperfect. There are still many areas for improvement in photography and storage."

She knew what Harvey was studying during this time, and she also knew that there was a peculiar space in Harvey's bedroom closet. Harvey had already moved his bedroom into it. She couldn't help but laugh at Harvey's joy. His eyes were bent into crescent moons.

Shirley’s quiet and gentle smile made Harvey’s heartbeat a little faster, and then turned on the photography function of the camera, came to Shirley, bent over and stretched out her right hand and smiled: "Miss Shirley, for more research materials and to celebrate this Can you dance a dance with me if you succeed once?"

　　 "Will it be recorded?"

　　 "Of course, it will capture every movement we dance."

Shirley stretched out the catkin and placed it on Harvey's hand. Harvey gently kissed the back of her hand and pulled her up. Amidst Shirley's exclamation, she casually danced the ballroom dance of this world. The complexity is that Shirley's movements seem clumsy and can't keep up with Harvey's rhythm.

　　 Being driven by Harvey, Shirley's beautiful face showed a panic and annoyed: "Master, wait, I haven't taken off my glasses yet, ah."

　　 said that he had stepped on the back of Harvey's feet, and the Jiao body lost his center of gravity and was pulled into his arms by Harvey.

　　 When they looked at each other, they laughed at the same time, adjusted their movements and danced again comfortably. Harvey hadn't felt so happy for a long time, even when he finished "The Earl of Monte Cristo" he didn't give him that much sense of accomplishment.
