Portable lamps are very popular, but few people ask about smart lamps.
From the very beginning, the lighting war showed a one-sided situation.
However, the market in Shenjiao City is so big. The total population of the entire Heijiao River area is only nine million. Even if everyone has a portable lamp, the sales of lamps will be limited.
So the real battlefield is in the entire wind breath field.
Duke launched this business war, but he did not continue to follow up. The plan had been set long ago, and now it only needs to be executed step by step.
He can't always do everything by himself.
It’s time to collect your mind and focus on the practice itself.
"I've been asking for leave a bit frequently lately, but that's strange. Your instructor doesn't seem to mind at all when you ask for leave."
Tutor Vikas would come to Duke's office from time to time and share some information with him.
Duke said with emotion: "At first I thought the instructor was unkind, but after getting in-depth contact with me, I realized that the instructor was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He tolerated whatever I did outside the tower. As long as I could keep up with his teaching progress, nothing would happen.
Question."
He really thinks that Mentor Penrose is a good person.
Originally, Penrose was very cold towards him. Even if he showed great talent, nothing changed. For a time, he thought that Penrose didn't like him.
But now.
You only need to set aside one Thursday afternoon every week to accept Penrose's teaching. No matter what Duke does at other times, Penrose will tolerate it.
Very easy to talk to.
"It's you, you are so talented, that's why the instructor will tolerate you so much, and won't even mind if you study with Lord Suktara." Assistant Vikas shook his head and said, "If it were the former Shanfisi, 80% of the time he would be dismissed.
The instructor will be fired directly."
"However, Shanfeisi's luck can be considered changed. I heard that his further studies at Scott's Master Tower went very smoothly and he successfully demonstrated his medical talent."
"But medicine is just a small path. Treating diseases for ordinary people has a limited future."
"Maybe." Duke said perfunctorily.
Although the Seven Towers Federation has gradually abolished the aristocracy, arcane mages are still uncrowned aristocrats, standing aloof and not looking down upon ordinary people.
Even the erudite people who claim to benefit the bottom class of society and promote social development are just using the study of natural history to explore the mysteries of spirituality. The erudite scholars are not very concerned about whether the study of natural history can benefit the common people.
If we say that opening the Three Seas and becoming a monk is a complete rebirth.
Then becoming an arcane mage is another qualitative leap. It has basically completed an otherworldly change and no longer lives in the same world as the public.
"By the way, how is the production of your arcane cards going?" After chatting for a while, Vikas began to inspect Duke's studies.
"We are trying to make a level 1 arcane card - Hand of the Mage. It is estimated that it will be successfully made in another month."
Although he was half-hearted during this period, doing research, starting a company, and learning alchemy, he still practiced his card-making skills diligently every day.
Common first-level civilian cards, spirit dragon cards, spirit storage cards, slide cards, driver cards, magic spirit cards... There are more than thirty kinds of them in total, and he has successfully produced them all, but there is a problem of proficiency. Compared with civilian cards that only require psychic drawing and engraving, arcane cards are more complicated, so he has not yet successfully produced one.
In every production, there are countless changes in the use of spiritual power with different attributes, which requires a lot of exploration.
Although Xiaoyi has super computing power, it is like a supercomputer.
But after all, it is just artificial intelligence, not real wisdom. All analyzes of spirituality are based on big data.
In other words, Xiaoyi is the ultimate embodiment of rationality.
It's just that the spiritual arcana studied by arcanists is not entirely composed of rational parts, but also consists of a large number of perceptual parts.
For this part of the analysis, Xiaoyi seems a bit clumsy and needs Duke to grasp it.
Then.
Duke felt deeply that there was actually a huge gap between himself and the title of "genius arcane mage".
According to the examples given by Instructor Penrose in his teaching, an arcane mage with card-making talents will follow spiritual guidance during the card-making process and choose the most accurate one among thousands of combination changes. p>
This is the emotional part of spiritual arcana.
This is also the reason why spiritual arcana is called "spiritual".
Without this part of perceptual ability, you cannot become an excellent card maker, and Duke is weak in the perceptual part.
"I have Xiao Yi to help me, but I am a bit weak in the emotional part. As long as my rationality is strong enough, I can still make cards skillfully... For a real card maker, his spirituality will guide him to draw the spell model in the most appropriate way. I rely on Xiao Yi to use
Stupid methods of calculation, each other!"
He sighed in his heart.
Tutor Vikas didn't know why, and also sighed: "Although I think you are too distracted and don't devote enough energy to card making, you have already performed better than any student I have ever seen.
."
After a pause, he continued: "So for a talented arcane mage like you, you don't need me to make decisions for you. You can just allocate your study energy."
"You have helped me a lot, and my success is inseparable from your guidance."
"Haha, I don't dare to take it." Assistant Vikas said that he didn't dare to take it, but the expression on his face was quite proud.
If Duke can succeed, he will be able to get some credit.
So.
In the blink of an eye, mid-October has arrived, and the sales department of the Giant of Light has continued to attack, and has achieved certain results in the eight major regions under the jurisdiction of the Wind Breath Realm.
However, with the third-level arcane mage Clelinda visiting Spike City in the Zaojiao region, and having some interactions with Mesta, the third-level arcane mage in Spike City, aura lights were spread across a large area in Spike City.
Low-price dumping generally affects the sales of portable lights.
Subsequently, Rainbow Bay City in the bubble area, Angry Point City in the kerosene area, and Blade City in the Trial Knife Mountain area all had a large number of aura lamps sold at low prices.
It has had a negative impact on the sales of Giant Light’s portable lamp.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Sir, the Runwan Family has already taken action. Five of the eight regions have been strongly blocked by the Runwan Family." Vial came to Penrose Master Tower to report to Duke, "But our Legal Department,
In accordance with your previous instructions, we have sued Runwanjia for infringement in eight cities to Boxue Tower."
While reading the newspaper, Duke responded: "Then according to the established plan, we will fight the Runwan family with real swords and guns. There is nothing to be afraid of. As long as the Runwan family can't cover up the sky with one hand, we will fight him to the end until the end."
The potential is huge."
"Understood."
"Go ahead, if you don't have enough money, tell me. The worst we can do is raise another round of financing."
"I won't disturb your work, sir. I will go back and make arrangements and strive to win sales in more than four regions as soon as possible."
After get off work in the evening, Duke went straight to Tower 1 after dinner.
Before the teaching began, Suktala asked: "Is there anything you need my help with in the competition between the Giant of Light and the Runwan Family?"
She is the internal supervisor of the Union Tower. Although she no longer personally manages affairs, as long as she wants to ask about the big and small things that happen in Shenjiao City, no one can hide it from her.
"Teacher, everything is under control. There is no deviation from my plan yet. If something unexpected happens, I will ask you for support."
"As long as you have confidence." Suktara said gently, "Oh, by the way, I asked Lord Erwin during the meeting at the Union Tower today. He said that the Erudite Tower has applied for the title of Erudite for you.
, At present, the application for Runwucheng Erxue Tower has been accepted and is in the inspection period."
"Application for the title of Scholar for me?" Duke said in surprise, "That's not true. Just by inventing a portable lamp, am I eligible to apply for the title of Scholar?"
"Don't underestimate the portable lamp. Lord Erwin thinks very highly of it. And I found that many people in the castle have bought portable lamps, especially the knights patrolling at night. Everyone has a portable lamp, which shows how powerful it is.
Influence."
"This is really an unexpected surprise." Duke smiled.
In fact, it is not surprising. The invention of natural history focuses on two aspects. One aspect is value, and the other aspect is practicality.
There is no need to elaborate on inventions of great value.
Practicality is also the focus of natural history. An invention may not have that much technical content, but it can be popularized and benefit the public. Therefore, this invention is also one of the major inventions of natural history.
The value of a portable light lies in its practicality.
"The competition between the Giant of Light and Runwanjia, and the infringement controversy between the portable lamp and the spiritual light lamp may have a certain negative impact on your evaluation for the title of scholar." Suktara said, "But if you come up with a strong
With the technology of light hand lamp, there will no longer be any obstacles."
"Having said that, if I don't hurt the Runwan family, Lord Clarinda will still attack the giant of light sooner or later, so I can only wait and hide my trump card."
"Clinda, this person is used to being domineering."
"Teacher, can you tell me about Lord Clarinda? There is not much about him in the book "The Spirituality of Black Dragon River Land"."
"Clalinda..." Suktara fell into memories.
Clarinda is a generation younger than Suktara. She was born into a non-noble Arcane Mage family. She has shown outstanding talent since she was a child. After being promoted to Arcane Mage, she chose Arcanist as her future evolution direction. p>
He advanced to the 3rd level smoothly and made outstanding achievements. He established a great reputation and was considered to advance to the 4th level sooner or later.
It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.
While participating in an overseas development war, Clarinda was severely injured by a dragon, and even the spiritual core in the spiritual sea was shattered.
Although he was rescued later, his spiritual core was re-condensed.
However, after the broken and reorganized spiritual core, it is already difficult to make progress, especially in the practice of arcane arts.
As a last resort, he retreated to the next best thing and wanted to find some way in the arcane field.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the talent of an arcane scholar, so he hasn't mastered anything in any field. In the end, he inherited the family's Runwanjia Spiritual Weapon Factory and focused on making money.
"Maybe it's obsession. I guess he really wants to get a scholar title to prove himself." Suktala shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, the patents he can buy are not up to the standard of the scholar title. After all,
Who would sell a truly good invention for sale? This is the basis for the promotion of a scholar."
Speaking.
Suktala mentioned a joke: "A few years ago, Clarinda went to the Erudite Tower to cause a scene and almost got into a fight with Mr. Erwin."
"How do you say this?" Duke became interested.
"It seems that Clarinda bought a patent called continuous coating technology from somewhere, and asked Erwin to apply for the title of scholar for him. Erwin thought that the invention was not high enough and refused to apply for him, so he
There's a fuss."
"Ah!" Duke exclaimed.
Suktara gave him a strange look: "What are you doing? Master Arcana is also a human being, and naturally he has emotions and desires. It is normal for some friction to occur."
"No, teacher, what should I say... The source of your Lady Clarinda's matter is still me."
"In you? What do you mean? You weren't an arcane mage a few years ago, you were just a child who didn't grow up, right?" Suktara didn't understand.
Duke smiled and said: "To be precise, when I was fifteen years old, I was working in a card repair shop. I didn't have half a penny in my pocket. In order to raise money to buy the awakening potion, I racked my brains to think of ways to do it, and finally I thought of it.
A good idea."
He told the story at that time: "I saw the card repairmen using the paste box to pick and scratch, and I thought if it could be done... I sold this idea to the shop owner at the time, and later the shop owner told me
Me, he changed hands and sold it to someone else..."
"It's such a coincidence that you also invented this continuous coating technology?" Suktara was really surprised.
"I invented a good invention, but I have already sold it. Since it was bought by Clarinda, it is his technology."
"Haha, you are quite open-minded, but do you mind if the teacher shares this fun thing with friends outside?" Suktala is an old-hearted person, smiling like an old naughty child, obviously he is fighting in his heart.
What a bad idea.
Duke smiled: "I don't mind."
After going round and round, the technique of continuous slurrying fell into Clinda's hands, which gave Duke the opportunity to ridicule her.
"You want the title of scholar?" He smiled secretly in his heart, "You can come and ask me, but I may not give it to you."
After chatting about common things and gathering their minds, the master and the apprentice began to teach. One taught sincerely and the other studied sincerely. Time flew by quickly.
……
"Philibel, how have you been lately?"
"Teacher, I just hang around in Faling Pagoda every day, but you always get what you want and find a suitable successor. You keep smiling." Philiber, the director of Faling Pagoda, smiled and hugged his former teacher.
Suktara's arm.
After helping Suktara sit down, she smiled again and said: "I also heard that you are so cruel that you even drove Sorel away."
"That kid Sorel, well, it's such a pity to say it. I originally thought that if I couldn't find a successor, I would just make do with him... But who would have thought that spirituality brought Duke to me. This kid is
A natural arcane mage."
"You are full of praise whenever you mention Duke. It seems that Duke has really fulfilled your wish."
"Isn't that right? Speaking of Duke, I remembered a funny thing." Suktala's rosy face was full of smile, "Clarinda made a fool of you in the Erudite Tower two or three years ago.
Do you still remember, the continuous slurry coating technology he bought, I learned that it was actually invented by Duke!"
"Ah, it turns out to be like this, what a coincidence."
Not long after, Philiber, who was dawdling around, invited her two arcanist sisters to have dinner, and then told the incident as a joke.
Erudite Tower.
Aziguli, the head of the legal department, looked at her secretary calmly: "Are the lawyers of the Giant of Light still causing trouble?"
"Yes, sir, those lawyers didn't do anything out of the ordinary. They just grabbed someone when they saw them and talked to them about the case brought by the Giant of Light against the Runwan family. They also said that they were staying in a hotel not far away.
, designed to wait for processing results."
"What a cunning move!" Aziguli sneered, "Arcanist mages who come from the countryside can also do this tricky thing, so don't pay attention to it."
The secretary did not leave, but hesitated not knowing how to speak.
Aziguli frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"There is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"Say!"
"Yes, sir, I heard it from outside... It was said that it was the continuous coating technology that Lady Clarinda came to the Erudite Tower to discuss before. The original inventor turned out to be the Duke. It was said that it was Duke.
Your Excellency, Ke, sold the technology in order to save money to buy the awakening potion."
"Is it true?" Aziguli's brows furrowed even more deeply, "Duke was also the one who invented the coating technology?"
"I have asked about the source. It is said that it came from the mouths of several arcane mages. It shouldn't be wrong, right?"
"Okay, what a mess, so what if it was invented by Duke, the patent right is in the hands of Clarinda, that is Clarinda's invention!" Aziguli said with a stern face, "Warn those employees who spread rumors
, shut your mouths!"
"Yes, I will go and warn those employees who gossip." The secretary left in a hurry.
Aziguli corrected a few documents in the office, looked at the time, then got up and went to the meeting room in the Erudue Tower for a meeting.
In the conference room, Chief Director Erwin had already arrived early.
After seeing Aziguli, he greeted with a smile: "Come and sit down first. There are two people who haven't arrived yet. Let's wait."
"Okay, Chief Director." Aziguli sat upright in her chair.
Erwin put one foot on the chair without any image, leaned to the other side, and said in a normal tone: "Aziguli, let me ask you, you are familiar with Clarinda, there is something
I don’t know if you know clearly.”
"Excuse me."
"Recently, Runwanjia is having a lively fight with the Giant of Light. Regarding the patent infringement case, what does Clinda think? Do you really want to continue the infringement?"
"Chief Director, the infringement case is still under trial. I'm collecting relevant evidence. I'm afraid it's too early to declare infringement now." Aziguli pushed back without mercy.
"You are in charge of the legal department, you have the final say, haha." Erwin smiled, "I want to ask if the continuous supply coating technology in Clinda's hands when she came to the Erudite Tower to cause trouble two years ago is from
I bought it from Duke, and it’s quite lively with the purchase and pressure.”
Several other arcane mages echoed Erwin and laughed.
The conference room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
"It's groundless, Chief Director, why bother making it a joke." Aziguli was the only one who didn't laugh, and pushed back the joke with a cold face, "Besides, since patents are allowed to be traded, what's so funny about buying and selling patents?
!"
Erwin didn't care about Aziguli's attitude: "Of course patents can be bought and sold, and our Erudite Tower also encourages buying and selling, but it is a big joke to rely on the patents you bought to challenge the title of scholar. Fortunately, I
I didn't apply for him, otherwise I would be embarrassed to see Duke."
"I only know that I have to act in accordance with the rules, but I have no interest in tracing back to the source. Moreover, the sale of patents is entirely voluntary. If I don't cherish it, why should others complain on my behalf?"
"That's what I say, but scholars still have to rely on their true ability to win, don't you think so." Erwin looked around at everyone.
Several Arcane mages nodded: "That's the truth."
Aziguli looked on with cold eyes and stood up when she saw this: "Am I here for a meeting or to chat? Chief Director, if nothing happens, I will leave first."
"Okay, you have to be busy, so you don't have to attend this meeting." Erwin waved his hand.
Aziguli got up and left directly.
After the meeting ended, Erwin returned to his office. After the secretary closed the door, he immediately asked: "Grandpa, why did you offend Mr. Aziguli again?"
"So what if you offend me? Are you the chief director who was chosen in a friendly manner by my great-grandfather?" Erwin picked up the teacup and put it into the hands of his secretary and great-grandson, "Hurry up and get some water for my great-grandfather.
, you want to help in any big event."
"Isn't this the way peace brings wealth? Besides, there has never been any conflict between our family and His Excellency Aziguli's family."
"Actually, your great-grandfather has been unhappy with Aziguli and Clarinda for a long time. The two colluded and relied on the Runwan family to snatch patents everywhere. I don't know, but he thought that the Runwan family was the Erudite Tower." Erwin
With a look of disdain on his face, "It's too ugly to look at when you eat."
"Isn't that what everyone does?" the secretary muttered. In his opinion, it is natural for Arcane mages to monopolize resources.
"He can grab any bowl of rice, but he can't grab the rice from the Learned Tower. This is your great-grandfather's territory!"
"Grandpa, when Sir Keithon retreats, you are still not allowed to go to the Union Tower to take charge!"
"Haha, quit?" Erwin stretched out his leg and kicked his great-grandson, "He has been thinking about Christian's retirement all day long, so he is really willing to quit. If there are no Williams and Stephen Wings competing with me, besides,
,Hehe, he may not be willing to retreat."
"But Mr. Christian has said in public several times that he wants to withdraw."
"It's just talk, whoever takes it seriously is a fool."
"How can you be so untrustworthy..."
"Oh, my great-grandfather really feels like I want to send you out to practice and hone your skills. If you stay with me, you will be exposed to wind and rain. I feel like I have raised a fool."
Erwin looked at his innocent great-grandson and couldn't help but shook his head: "Tomorrow, hand in your resignation letter yourself and go find a place to train outside. I don't care where you train. In short, don't appear in front of me until you are promoted to an arcane mage." "Ah, great grandpa!"
"Get out of here."
After driving away his favorite great-grandson, Erwin was still a little unhappy.
Suddenly I thought of Suktara: "This old woman is thicker than me... I should have been shameless and asked Duke to come to me. Such a good seedling was snatched away by Suktara!
What kind of alchemist and scholar is it?”
The invention of the portable lamp can only be regarded as an accidental inspiration.
Then knowing that the continuous coating technology was actually invented by Duke, Erwin understood that Duke's talent in natural history was definitely unusual.
Moreover, there is also built-in spirit storage card technology, which is also an invention that he is quite praised for.
"With the blessing of these three technologies, the title of Erudite Sage is bound to be inevitable. If I become his teacher, this will definitely be a big bonus when evaluating the title of Erudite Sage in the future!" Erwin rubbed his chin.
, "Do you want to grab it?"
I thought about it again and again, and finally sighed: "Forget it, the old woman and I are old acquaintances. We have known each other for more than a hundred years. It is really embarrassing to rob students."
Suktara, who didn't know that his student was almost robbed, is currently sorting out years of notes in his family's mage tower.
Her one hundred and sixty years of life.
Focusing on the field of alchemy, I don’t know how many experiments I have done, how many notebooks I have left behind, and I have long forgotten some research topics.
Now take it out and sort it out, just in time for teaching at Duke.
"Since fifty years ago, I have focused almost all my energy on the direction of ring replication materials. Alas, the most regrettable thing is that I have not been able to advance to the fourth ring and personally experience the structure of the projection ring."
Suktara wiped the dust off her notes and opened the pages, feeling a mixture of emotions in her heart.
For the past, for the future.
There are too many thoughts.
After a long time, she slowly closed the note: "When Duke gets on the right track, I will give up this old face and also ask for Christian Fury, Williams, Irvine, Stephen Wings, and that
Bernoulli, cooperate with me to cast the Ring of Projection and do the last experiment!"
The valuable experience left behind by the experiment was her final help to Duke.
It was also her last effort in the direction of replicating materials.
