Studying Science in the Alternate World

"Phantom, it's coming."

The entire Seven Towers Federation, the most authoritative official newspaper "Seven Towers Daily", published the optical storage technology on the front page on September 17.

The reporter stationed in Shenjiao City received an order from the headquarters to conduct an exclusive interview with Duke.

In the interview, Duke talked about the future of film and television technology and optical storage technology, which can be widely used in various fields and industries.

But when it comes to more, it is the entertainment industry.

"I have always believed that our world is too boring and there is too little entertainment. This is also my original intention of inventing film and television technology. I want to bring rich spiritual food to the world." Duke did not exaggerate in the interview.

It is simply a description of the future I imagined.

"Spiritual arcana is closely related to the general public, not exclusive to arcane masters, and the same should be true for film and television technology. In the laboratory, 3-ring slide cards can be used to build large-capacity slide cards, so as to record images as you like."

"But folks can't do it. A 3-ring slide card needs tens of thousands of gold dragons, which is far from what everyone can afford. So in the following time, I have been thinking about how to let film and television technology enter thousands of households, and this will have a bright future." storage technology."

In the newspaper news, the principle of optical storage technology and the immediate effect brought by optical storage technology were introduced in detail.

"In what form do you think film and television technology will enter thousands of households?" The reporter asked a question.

Duke replied, "Phantom."

Then came the key introduction: "Phantom is not a simple reproduction of time, but a re-creation based on real culture. I think it will become an important art form just like songs, dances, and dramas, entertaining and influencing the public. "

"A phantom can be an imaginary story, and then record it in the form of interpretation for everyone to watch. It can be a real record of an image, spread it out, and let everyone know."

"Let me give you a simple example. Many people may not have seen the big whale in Jingjing Lake."

"Then I can use photography to capture every move of the Jinghu Whale Dragon, and then edit it into a phantom and broadcast it to various parts of the Federation. Then everyone can understand the Jinghu Whale Dragon even if they have never been to the Holy City of Arcana. Life habits."

"This is the information transfer function that the phantom can carry."

"Some verbal expressions between people are actually very lacking in expressiveness. But after having phantoms, this kind of communication will be endowed with a strong appeal. It is very important for guiding the social atmosphere, expanding the public's horizons, and promoting the federal government. Policies will have a very positive side.”

After Duke finished introducing Phantom, the reporter asked again: "So how do you plan to shoot Phantom? Or what kind of Phantom will you make?"

"I have no plans to shoot, but I have promoted some film and television companies to shoot fantasy films. It can be a feature film, a documentary, an educational film, or an animation. At present, the DreamWorks film and television company I promote is actively shooting the first A phantom film."

"Can you tell us what kind of phantom film this is?" the reporter asked.

"It's a love story called "Romeo and Juliet." Duke responded to the reporter with a smile. "It's about the time of the Storm Empire. Two nobles in a city had deep feuds and often fought. But the two families His son and daughter fell in love with each other..."

The original "Romeo and Juliet" Duke has pretty much forgotten it.

I only remember some general plots, so the details are filled in by the writer and playwright signed by DreamWorks.

DreamWorks is making a lot of fantasy films, but the first fantasy film that will be officially released at the Phantom Opera House is still arranged for "Romeo and Juliet".

There is no other reason.

Because the screenwriter of this phantom film was named by Duke.

"It sounds very interesting, so when will the general public see this phantom film?"

"It will take about three to four months, that is to say, it may be released after the New Year's Eve. But for now, there are Phantom Opera Houses opened by DreamWorks in major cities in the Wind Breath area, which can play "Romeo and "Juliet", in other fields, it depends on how well the Tower of Knowledge promotes film and television technology."

The territory of the Seven Towers Federation is too large.

The serious inconvenience of transportation has caused many companies to be unable to go out of their own fields, let alone expand outward.

For example, the lamps produced by the giant of light are basically sold in the Fengxi field, otherwise, the transportation fee will be higher than the cost of the lamps. For the other 11 fields, Duke can only collect a meager patent fee and cede the market to others.

The phantom film may be able to be screened by the entire Federation, but the construction of the Phantom Opera House certainly cannot be monopolized.

At that time, I am afraid that a unified phantom screening mechanism will need to be established.

certainly.

These are things that need to be considered in the future. Now Duke only needs to talk about the phantom and land on the front page of the "Seven Towers Daily".

"Wow, Duke, your photo in the newspaper is really handsome!" Kylia praised repeatedly after receiving the new issue of "Seven Towers Daily".

She took leave today from the Penrose Master Tower and came to Suktara Master Tower to preside over an experiment related to film and television technology at DreamWorks. By the way, I slipped to Duke's office, had breakfast with Duke, and read the newspaper.

"No way, I'm so flawless when shooting from any angle." Duke boasted.

But in fact, he is indeed tender and handsome.

And this state will continue for hundreds of years.

Thinking about myself on the earth, at the age of thirty, I have a big belly and my body is hollowed out by alcohol and sex. It is really embarrassing, and at the same time, I love the present more.

"Are you free tonight? Let's go to the astrologer to look at the stars." Kylia suddenly suggested.

The Seven Towers of the Seven Towers Federation and the Stars Tower only stand in the Holy City of Alfa, and there are no Stars Towers stationed in the major cities of the Twelve Domains.

However, there is a subsidiary organization of the Star Tower - the Astrologer.

It is used to observe the astrology in each place, provide different astrological views for the Tower of Stars, and record the daily changes of the astrology.

"Tonight, I'm afraid it won't work. I'm going to Cuihai City in the afternoon, and I should stay at Black Snake Manor tonight."

"Going to Cuihai City?"

"Well, a new site has been selected for Lingchi Farm. I plan to move Xiaohong to Lingya Mountain and let him guard the underground area of ​​Lingya Mountain for me." Duke said.

Xiaohong is a descendant of Hongzhi.

As the queen of the army ants in the 5th Ring Crypt, Red Branch originally lived in Cuihai Valley, and moving Xiaohong there is a return to her homeland.

And with Xiaohong occupying the land as king, other spirit insects would not dare to invade the boundary of Lingya Mountain.

"Oh." Kylia was a little disappointed.

Duke smiled and pinched her slightly baby-fat face, and said, "Tomorrow, I will accompany you to the astrologer to look at the stars."

"okay!"

That afternoon, Duke came to Lingchi Farm outside the castle and called Xiaohong out.

Today's Xiaohong has grown to the 4th ring level, and has cultivated nearly 500 2nd and 3rd ring level burrow marching ants, and many ant eggs are hatching.

It cannot speak, and the spiritual communication ability brought about by the master-slave contract is also weak.

But it didn't bother Duke, he patted his stomach, and the chick rushed out with a whoosh: "Wow, Xiaohong, you've grown so big!"

Xiaohong, who was crawling in front of Duke, was already two or three meters long.

Duke felt that he could gallop all over the field while riding Xiaohong. It has to be said that the Crypt Marching Queen under the bloodline of the 5th ring is indeed powerful.

Xiaohong's two tentacles lightly touched the chick.

The little chicken suddenly laughed and said, "That's great, Xiaohong, if Hongzhizhi sees you, he will definitely jump up happily!"

"..." Xiaohong was speechless.

But the meaning has been conveyed, and the chick responded with a little sadness: "The red branch, your mother, it looks so beautiful! But unfortunately, the red branch has been made into a specimen, and the specimen is hidden in the United Tower. Display Curry."

In the United Tower, there is a huge exhibition library of spirit beasts.

All these years, Shenjiao City's southern and northern wars, killed relatively special spirit beasts, made specimens and stored them up.

Crypt army ants generally have a level of 3 rings, and only a few of them break through to the level of 5 rings.

The red branch is also the only ant queen with 5 rings killed by the arcanists, so it is eligible to be collected in the exhibition library of the Union Tower.

But Xiaohong didn't seem to be touched by this.

The little chicken suddenly became unhappy, and turned around to complain to Duke: "Little Hong is really a cold-blooded animal, and he is not familiar with it. I told him about red branches, but he hasn't eaten yet."

"You can't expect an ant to understand human morality." Duke touched the chicken's head, "It's just a spirit insect. No matter how complicated its body is, no matter how powerful its blood, it must live according to the habits of insects. That's the way of nature."

"But the red branch is very good. It's good for me!" said the chicken with its head held high. "It worked so hard to give birth to Xiao Hong!"

"Hongzhizhi treats you very well, because you have known each other since the beginning, and gradually became familiar with you. Isn't Xiaohong also very kind to you now, and you can also establish a good friend relationship. As for Hongzhizhi's production of Xiaohong, if there is One day when Xiaohong encounters a crisis, she will give birth like this... Xiaohong's."

"Is it like this?" Chick was puzzled.

"Of course it is."

"I don't understand it very well, but I seem to understand it." Chick said seriously, "Duke, since I made a contract with you, I feel that I have become smarter. I will think about why I didn't think about it before. Woolen cloth!"

"It's called those who are close to vermilion, those who are red and those who are close to ink, and those who are black." Duke laughed, "With red branches, you learn the thinking of insects. Only when you are with a wise man like me, can you learn real wisdom. Little chick, watch and study hard!"

"Hmph, I'm not a little chicken, I'm a little chicken, my grandma gave me the name!" The little chicken hates being associated with chickens the most.

Then he added angrily: "My grandma is the wise one, she has endless wisdom!"

"Then I have to introduce you solemnly." Duke raised his head and said loudly, "The one in front of you is the youngest erudite sage in the Seven Towers Federation, who is called the Son of the Sun, Lord of Light and Shadow by the people, my wisdom Enough to change the world."

Immediately, he lowered his head and looked down at the chick: "Do you still think your grandma is wiser than me?"

"Hmph, it's because I'm smarter than you!"

"I see you have a bone in the back of your head."

Duke was not used to the little chicken, so he went straight to the chicken, and the little chicken screamed: "Duke, big villain, bastard!"

Frolicking, waiting for Xiaohong to recall all the crypt army ants, Duke drove Xiaohong and the ants to board the airship Chasing Shadow one after another.

Depart for Cuihai Valley Lingya Mountain.

Lingya Mountain has changed its appearance, there are potholes everywhere, and the entire mountain is about to be hollowed out, and a huge basement has been built.

The basement takes the channel of the spring as the coordinate, and is built to another spring at the foot of the mountain.

The spring on the top of the mountain was named Yajian Spring by Duke, and the spring at the foot of the mountain was named Yagen Spring by Duke. From Yajian Spring to Yagen Spring, there are rail ladders laid all the way, similar to escalators in shopping malls on the earth. faster.

The surrounding land of Yagenquan is not yet owned by Duke, so it is only surrounded by iron fences for the time being, and nothing is built.

However, several floors of basements were built in violation of regulations.

The floors of all the basements are tamped with reinforced concrete, and the steel bars are mixed with a lot of spirit gold, which has a super defensive effect.

Basically, the arcane arts of the 1st and 2nd rings cannot break through the stone slabs in the basement.

"Master Duke!" The members of the Broken Sword Mercenary Corps guarding the construction site quickly stepped forward to salute when they saw Duke and his party coming.

"Stand at your post." Duke encouraged.

Afterwards, most of the followers were left on the ground, and he only brought Vivienne, the big knight close to him, and Xiaohong's ant colony, and went into the basement.

With advance notice, construction workers have already evacuated the basement.

In the pitch-black basement, Vivian turned on the strong light that she carried with her to illuminate the basement for Duke.

The little chicken followed Duke, swimming forward and backward for a while.

His mouth couldn't stay idle: "Duke, where is Xiaohong's new home?"

"Below the basement, the entire Lingya Mountain and surrounding areas are Xiaohong's lair." Duke said softly.

"The environment here is not good. Xiaohong's nest must be close to the ground. Otherwise, there is no way to grow Yulu and mushrooms in the nest. In the past, my grandma instructed it to build the nest of red branches. Now I want to Point to Xiaohong."

"Take a break, with your knowledge, don't hurt Xiaohong." Duke ignored the chick with a broken mouth.

Now Xiaoji has been with him for a long time, probably influenced by his good qualities, his mouth is no longer smelly, only broken.

The chick felt bored, and turned to swim to Vivian's shoulder: "Vivian, do you have any spiritual crystals, I'm hungry."

"Yes." Vivian took out a spirit crystal.

When I was feeding the chicken, I took the opportunity to touch the chicken's head with my hand, and it felt quite good, warmer than jade.

"Don't mess with me!" Chick stared.

"You're wrong. Elves don't have gender distinctions. There's no such thing as Kayou." Vivienne replied solemnly.

This made Xiaoji startled: "Really?"

"Of course." Vivian said sincerely.

The chick raised its two short legs, scratched its big head, couldn't think clearly, and simply didn't want to, chewing on the spirit crystal.

Duke, who was walking ahead, felt happy.

It's not Le Xiaoji, but Le Vivienne. Vivienne, who used to be upright and ignorant of style, is now playful and knows how to play with Xiaoji.

This is good.

It will add a lot of fun in the future.

Not long after, he passed through the dark and deep and complicated basement, and arrived at the destination——Guided by the map on the vindictive holographic screen, Duke will never get lost.

"This is where the 'mother's nest' in the basement is, little chicken, you tell Xiaohong to build your own nest right under the mother's nest, and you can put the eggs in the mother's nest for later incubation. This mother's nest is specially designed for Xiaohong. Design, absolutely safe."

Duke said.

The chick turned to look at Xiaohong, and made a few chirping noises. This is its unique ability to communicate with ants on pheromones.

The basement of the mother nest is not very big, but the walls are obviously thicker than other places, and there is a secret passage on the ground, which is not sealed with Lingjin stone plates.

Xiaohong, who got the order, quickly directed her ant colony.

Then the huge army ants in the crypt dug down the dark passage, the shock of the arcane spread far underground, and a simple nest was built in a short while. Xiaohong waved its tentacles at Duke, Also followed up in the nest.

In the future, Xiaohong's ant colony nest will run through the entire bottom of Lingya Mountain to protect underground safety in all aspects.

Leave the hive basement.

Duke activated the mechanism, and the heavy door in the basement slowly sank until the basement was completely sealed.

Before the ant colony is completely tamed, he will not let the ant colony meet humans more.

Only after they are completely tamed, can they drive the spirit insects to do various jobs like the Black Jade Family, just like raising a group of servants.

Stayed one night at Black Snake Manor.

In the early morning of the next day, Duke set off to return to the Suktara Master Tower. In the evening, he accompanied Kylia Raging Waves to the observatory.

In the astronomical telescope, the starry sky is extraordinarily brilliant.

But there is no Milky Way in the sky, and I don't know whether it is in the depths of the Milky Way, which makes the Milky Way not obvious, or it is no longer in the Milky Way.

"But what's the use of being sure it's the Milky Way?"

The diameter of the Milky Way is 180,000 light-years, that is to say, it takes 180,000 years for light to travel from one end of the Milky Way to the other.

The arcane masters of the Seven Towers Federation have not even been able to explore a wild continent on their own planet, let alone go out of the planet and travel to the stars.

"However, if I am promoted to the 9-day arcane teacher, will I have a thousand-year lifespan?"

"It will take me a thousand years to develop interstellar travel. Is it possible to cross the Milky Way and return to Earth for a look?"

Just look at it.

Thinking of this, Duke's heart skipped a beat.

Maybe this hope is slim, after all, I don't even know if I'm still in the Milky Way, but this idea lingers strongly in my mind.

"I must go to the Tower of Stars when I look back, and see what arcane masters' astrology has been done for thousands of years, and what results have been obtained, whether they have accounted for the galaxy I am in, and whether it belongs to the Milky Way!" Duke thought in his heart, "I still remember the Milky Way. picture!"

It was a galaxy as graceful as a swirl.

"Duke, what are you thinking?"

"Yeah." Duke came back to his senses, looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms, and smiled faintly, "I'm homesick."

"What time is it, do you want to go home?"

"Haha, I lied to you, I'm not thinking about going home, I'm thinking about starting a family with you." Duke used a smile to cover up his daydream just now.

No one in this world could understand what he was thinking when he looked up at the starry sky.

...

It was snowing heavily.

In the studio of the Phantom Industry Base, it was decorated like a tomb, and the actor who played Romeo hugged the unconscious actress, screaming in pain.

"No!"

Then he took out a bottle of poison, swallowed the poison directly, and fell beside the actress with blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Crack!" the director yelled, "I'm not emotional enough, think about how to perform a stage play, your current performance is so embarrassing that you want to pick your feet."

"Director, let me brew." The actor said quickly.

"Hurry up."

This scene was seen by Duke and Kylia in the corridor on the second floor.

The two are here to inspect the filming progress of "Romeo and Juliet". With the help of the headlines on the front page of "Seven Towers Daily", this phantom film has been crowned the title of the first phantom film of mankind, and it can be described as highly anticipated.

Coupled with the reputation of Duke himself as the screenwriter, "Romeo and Juliet" has firmly attracted the attention of the public.

after all.

Prior to October, Duke had successfully won the Light of the Erudition Tower twice, and won the highest award in the field of natural history with its film and television technology.

It's in full swing.

"Duke, what do you think of their performance?" Kylia said cheerfully, "I can't wait to see the finished film."

"It's okay." Duke said perfunctorily.

In fact, he quite disagrees with the styles of these actors and directors, and is still applying the old-fashioned drama style to Phantom.

This will make the phantom appear unreal at all, that is, the stage play has changed its packaging.

But he didn't bother to correct it anymore, he couldn't rely on him to guide everything, otherwise he would be exhausted.

And the strides are too big, it will be bad if the eggs are pulled.

It is always necessary for the people of the Seven Towers Federation to have a process of accepting the phantom. Perhaps this style of stage play is more friendly to the people.

In short.

Whether "Romeo and Juliet" will be popular or not, Duke doesn't care.

This is just the first Phantom, and more Phantom films will be released in the future. Sooner or later, the public will feel the charm of film and television technology, and thus give back rich spirituality.

Watched a phantom shot for a while.

The plot of just a few minutes, the director who strives for perfection, has already consumed ten phantom rolls, shooting a phantom will not be cheaper than shooting a movie on earth.

Not even the slightest bit of cheapness in terms of special effects.

After all, if you want to shoot big scenes such as the invasion of spirit beasts, and epic scenes such as arcane duels, you must ask arcane masters to help out.

The appearance fee of an arcanist is not cheap.

"Wait until next year, the entire Seven Towers Federation will see this phantom film we shot." Kiria looked forward to, "They will definitely shed tears for this tragic love. When I was watching a stage play, I was very impressed by Romeo and Moved by Juliet."

"I hope." Duke said badly.

Although the Federation of Seven Towers has no phantom films, there are quite a few stage plays, and the works that great writers are famous for are not lost to the earth.

Therefore, the public has a certain aesthetic foundation. If the filming of "Romeo and Juliet" is too bad, the audience will definitely complain.

He said with a smile: "But at least let the people of the whole Federation enjoy a visual feast, that's enough."

The Tower of Erudition has been promoting film and television technology throughout the Federation. The Phantom Opera House has been built a lot. Now basically there are Phantom Opera Houses in all major cities. They mainly play phantom musicals on weekdays to cultivate the audience's viewing habits.

Many owners of the newly built Phantom Opera House even traveled thousands of miles to Shenjiao City to find DreamWorks Film and Television Company.

Discussed the release cooperation of this phantom film.

so and so.

The 4416 year of the storm calendar has turned over, and the New Year's Day in 4417 has come, and Duke has also entered his 21st year of life.

The fifth day after the New Year's Eve, that is, January 5, 4416.

According to Duke's order, DreamWorks Film and Television Company held a grand premiere ceremony at the Phantom Opera House in the center of Shenjiao City.

For this premiere ceremony, DreamWorks invited a large number of reporters and critics, while Duke and Kiria invited a large number of arcane masters to form the audience for the premiere ceremony.

No celebrity walks the red carpet.

Just invite everyone to the screening hall, the Arcanist sits in the front row, and the reporters and critics sit in the back row, waiting for the broadcast of "Romeo and Juliet".

Duke was sitting in the first row, surrounded by Keyston Rage, Erwin and other arcane mages.

And Kiria, Suktara, Penrose and other close people.

When the lights in the projection hall were turned off, only a bright light suddenly rose in front of the big screen and merged into a crescent moon.

Suddenly.

A fish float hangs down, causing circles and ripples in the picture, and only then does it make people understand that it is just a reflection on the water surface.

The camera slowly rises, passes through the clouds, and comes to the sky.

There is still a curved crescent above the sky, and a little boy is sitting under the crescent, with one leg resting on the crescent and the other hanging in mid-air. Still holding a fishing rod in his hand, the fishing line hangs faintly into the clouds.

In the sound of soothing music.

The little boy and Yue Yue'er gradually drew a part of a symbol, and then the symbol revealed the whole, which was the official text of the Seven Towers Federation-the three words "Dream Factory" in the tower text.
