After getting to know the villa, Aslan sat on the sofa by himself, almost sinking into the sofa.
Emily was very sensible and served Aslan black tea.
"Do you know how to manage a villa?" Aslan picked up the black tea and took a sip.
It tastes pretty good.
Emily was already prepared. Her mother was once a member's personal servant and was responsible for managing a villa.
After my mother's health improved slightly, she immediately asked about the key and wrote down a book full of notes.
"Master, I have already thought about it. The villa also needs..."
After hearing Emily's methodical report on the number of servants needed in the villa, Aslan nodded with satisfaction.
The little girl is not bad!
Putting down the black tea cup, Aslan looked at Emily with interest and asked, "Do you know why I chose you?"
Emily thought for a long time and finally shook her head.
She also couldn't understand that there were rumors circulating in the club that Mr. Amuro might have special hobbies such as pedophilia.
But naturally we can't talk about this kind of thing.
"Did you know you have magical talent?" Aslan said.
Emily nodded. She more or less guessed that she had magic talent, but what about magic talent? Without a suitable meditation method, and failing to lay a foundation since she was a child, it would be too slow to wait until she is this age to practice again.
.
As for why the club did not train her in the past, the reason is very simple. When the club cannot determine the level of her talent, it is impossible to waste too many resources on her. Moreover, the best age to learn magic happens to be the most difficult time for the mother. The club
There are even people inside who want the lives of their mother and daughter, making it even more impossible for them to have the opportunity to learn magic.
"Very good!" Aslan was slightly surprised and placed a set of entry-level meditation methods specially selected by Emily on the table.
"You run the villa while practicing hard. If you can enter a meditative state within a week, I will consider keeping you. If not, I will send you back."
Emily's eyes widened suddenly and she looked at the scroll on the table in front of her. Is that the mysterious and precious magician's meditation method?
"Owner!"
Emily's body trembled slightly.
"Remember, you only have one week."
"yes!"
Emily, who has always been at the bottom of the club, knew the importance of the opportunity. She agreed without any hesitation, holding the meditation method tightly with both hands.
Although that set of meditation methods is only entry-level, the meditation effect is very ordinary and can only be described as the level of mass merchandisers. Even magicians with a little bit of background will not use this set of meditation methods.
This meditation method has a name, it’s called the Quick Meditation Method.
The key lies in quick meditation, which allows beginners to master the meditative state as quickly as possible.
The more advanced the meditation method, the more difficult it is for beginners to enter the meditative state. However, this normal situation is considered by magicians as insufficient talent. This is also the more advanced meditation method, and the fewer successors, just because it is too slow to get started.
As for getting started with other meditation methods and then switching to top-level meditation methods, it will take a long time to adapt and change the magic attributes.
Going back and forth like this consumes too much time, and many magicians have delayed their best practice time.
The quick meditation method is a set of attribute-free meditation methods. After mastering the meditative state, you can switch to other meditation methods without any obstacles at all.
Aslan has conducted experiments with a large number of magic apprentices. The worst magic apprentices can master the meditation method in one month, and the most talented apprentices can master it in only one week.
However, if the magic apprentice is asked to learn the top meditation method at the beginning, it may take a year or two to master the meditation method.
After Aslan simply taught Emily how to master the quick meditation method, he left the Mengo Club. He was going to the lamp factory recently built by Artoria. Under her supervision, gas lamps had been produced.
The upper-class people in the central countries only use magic lamps to illuminate their faces, while the common people and people at the bottom mainly use candles to illuminate their faces.
If it developed normally, kerosene lamps should have appeared, but the Maxim Empire directly produced coal into coal crystals and skipped the kerosene stage, so kerosene lamps did not appear.
Aslan's newly opened lighting factory mainly produces two types of lamps: gas lamps and horse lanterns.
Horse lantern, a portable, weatherproof kerosene lamp, can be hung on the horse when riding at night, hence its name. Most of them are used on boats in coastal areas, and they are also called "ship lanterns", especially when the wind blows.
In rainy weather, it is really a lighting tool for fishermen!
Gas lamps are somewhat similar to horse lanterns in appearance, but their working principles are different, so there are some differences in their specific structures. First, after the gas lamp is filled with kerosene or paraffin oil, it needs to pump air into the oil pot at the base in order to produce gas.
A certain pressure enables kerosene to spray out from the lamp spout above the oil can.
Secondly, the gas lamp does not have a wick. Its lamp holder is a gauze cover made of castor fiber or asbestos that is placed on the lamp mouth. The old technology uses thorium nitrate solution to soak it; and there is also a shading cover like a straw hat brim on the upper part of the gas lamp.
Because the gauze cover is made by soaking it in thorium nitrate solution, when the gauze cover encounters high temperatures, it will emit dazzling white light. A gas lamp can illuminate the surrounding area for more than ten meters.
However, sometimes the gas lamp stays on for too long, and more gas is needed halfway through.
Both of these lamps, no matter which one, are brighter than candles and are cheaper.
Among them, it can also drive the development of kerosene. Nomeli is preparing for a kerosene refinery. With the combination of the two, Aslan feels excited just thinking about how huge the market will be.
Suddenly, Aslan himself couldn't help laughing.
He is a majestic emperor, but why is he more and more interested in making these messy inventions, and he especially likes doing business.
"Sure enough, after the pressure is gone, your true nature will be exposed and dealt with!"
After Aslan cursed secretly, he started to figure out how to maximize the benefits of horse lanterns and gas lanterns. As for why he didn't promote these two types of lanterns to the Imperial Palace, the reason was very simple. The Empire's magic lanterns were already so cheap that they were not as cheap as here.
Just like other gas lamps, is there any need to promote this product?
The carriage soon arrived at the newly built Guangming Lighting Factory in the Thorny Street District. The lighting factory was surrounded by elite Mafia layers of protection. After all, the technical patents for these two lamps had not yet been applied for, so care must be taken.
Arturia had already been waiting at the door.
"Thank you for your hard work, dear."
Arturia naturally held Aslan's arm.
"Husband, you are really a genius, how could you come up with such a thing?"
