Chapter 76 Magic Crystal Lamp
At the end of October, the weather was already showing a hint of cold, and people on the streets of Bangta City began to put on coats and trousers to wrap themselves tightly.
Compared with the street, the temperature in the house is naturally higher, but even so, it is not the season to continue wearing short shirts and skirts. Steele, Evita, and Akali have all changed into them. The loose home dress completely covered up her beautiful figure.
Xu Yi glanced at the three of them, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his heart.
However, this inexplicable emotion was instantly suppressed by him, and his attention was refocused on a glass-made ball on the table.
Not all manufacturing processes on the Sainz Continent are low. For example, the glass process is very good. The sphere made of glass in front of it is transparent, and there is no trace of impurities. The thickness is the same, and the surface is extremely smooth. On the earth, it can also be regarded as an excellent glass product.
"This is the magic crystal lamp?" Xu Yi looked at the ball for a while and asked Steele, "Is this thing going to sell for two hundred gold coins?"
Steele nodded: "Well, I got it after asking my grandfather for help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy it even if I had money."
Xu Yi was immediately speechless.
To put it bluntly, this thing just acts as a light bulb. He dares to ask for as much as two hundred gold coins, and even if he wants to buy it, he can't buy it. In his opinion, it is really incomprehensible.
When Xu Yi was lighting candles at home that night, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought, since it is very troublesome to always light candles, why not study the light bulbs as well?
In fact, this idea had already existed when he crossed over, but it was gradually forgotten later.
When thinking about it now, Xu Yi couldn't hold back his excitement and immediately decided to conduct research and development.
But when he proposed the idea to the Steele trio, he was hit in the head.
On the Sainz Continent, a magic lamp has appeared long ago!
However, when Xu Yi asked the three of them that since magic lamps were already available, why they were not popular at all, and he had never even seen a magic lamp, he got an even more surprising answer.
Magic lights are too expensive!
It is said that the magic circle inside the magic lamp is extremely complicated, and ordinary magicians cannot complete it at all.
In addition to being able to emit light, this magic circle has no power at all, so since it was invented, few magicians have studied it.
As a result, the magic lamp has become a thing with extremely low practical value. Except for the occasional guy who has too much money and wants to show off, ordinary people will not think of buying a magic lamp at all.
In the long run, the magic lamp has gradually become a very rare thing, and naturally it has become more and more expensive and more refined, which is completely different from the cheap light bulbs that can be seen everywhere on the earth in Xu Yi's mind.
After learning this news, although Xu Yi did not understand the fact that the magicians on the Sainz Continent paid little attention to the application of magic, it did not mean that he looked down on the magic lamp, but instead asked Steele to find a way to buy one. Came back for a study.
When he was studying the small magic ripper last time, Xu Yi got a revelation. Although the industrial level on the Sainz continent is far below that of the earth, because of the uniqueness of magic, it will occupy more space than the earth in some aspects. some advantages.
If he can get some inspiration from the magic crystal to help him reduce the production cost a lot, he doesn't mind denying his idea of completely improving the structure of those fluorescent lamps on the earth.
"Have you studied it?" Xu Yi asked again, pointing to the magic crystal lamp.
The three of them looked at each other, and Steel pointed to the magic crystal lamp with some embarrassment: "This magic crystal lamp is a whole and can't be disassembled at all. If you want to study the magic circle inside, you have to break the outer crystal cover... …”
"Then break it, what's wrong?" Xu Yi asked inexplicably.
"Ah? Broken? This was bought for two hundred gold coins!" Akali opened her mouth exaggeratedly and pointed at the magic crystal lamp with an incredible look on her face.
"I bought it for you to study. What's the use of putting it here?" Xu Yi looked around, picked up a stone town on the table, and smashed it at the magic crystal lamp.
Seeing that Xu Yi was really going to smash like this, Akali and Evita Qiqi showed unbearable expressions.
This magic crystal lamp is very delicately made and has a very beautiful appearance. They both liked it very much at first sight. Now Xu Yi actually wants to smash this beautiful thing in front of them. It makes them unable to look directly.
"Wait!" Steele suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Yi's hand.
"What? Steele, you wouldn't want to give up two hundred gold coins, right? You and I have been together for so long, and you should know very well that as long as you research the right results, the value created is far more than just two hundred gold coins." Xu He also frowned and looked at Steele.
"Of course I know the truth." Steele removed more Shi Zhen from Xu Yi's hand. "Of course it is necessary to smash it, but you can't smash it as casually as you do? What if the entire magic crystal lamp is smashed? If you destroy the magic circle inside, what do you want us to study? Could it be that? Would you like to buy another one?"
Xu Yi was startled: "I forgot about this."
When Akali and Evita saw Steele stopping Xu Yi, they were happy to save this beautiful gadget, but when they heard Steele's words behind, they looked at each other.
However, this magic crystal lamp was bought by Xu Yi, and they had no say in what to do with them, so they could only watch Xu Yi and Steele check around the magic crystal for a while, and finally chose an angle. Smashed lightly.
"Whoa-"
The glass cover outside the magic crystal lamp was smashed open and shattered, finally revealing the true content inside.
At the moment when the glass cover was smashed open, Xu Yi brought his nose closer and sniffed hard, but apart from inhaling a nose of dust, he didn't smell any odor at all.
After sneezing hard, Xu Yi determined that the glass cover on the outside of this magic crystal lamp is only for decoration and astigmatism. It is not like the glass cover of those light bulbs on earth, because it needs to preserve the inert gas inside.
Of course, this world is afraid that there is no technology to inject inert gas into a closed glass cover.
After Steele carefully peeled off the glass cover that covered the magic crystal lamp, the eyes of the four fell on the base of the magic crystal lamp at the same time.
As expected, an extremely complicated magic circle is engraved on the base. Just from the lines of the magic circle, it can be seen that it is far more complicated than the low-level magic circle Xu Yi and others used in designing magic machines.
Akali watched for a while, and then hesitantly said: "Master President, this magic circle is so complicated, I'm afraid we can't study it with our current ability?"
Steele also nodded: "Well, I think there is a problem, why don't you show it to Grandpa, he should be able to understand."
Xu Yi also stared at this magic circle and observed it for a while, and found that Akali and Steele were right, this magic circle was indeed too complicated, beyond his current level of magic.
Just when he was about to nod his head in agreement with Steele's idea, he suddenly thought that Evita hadn't spoken yet, so he turned to look at her: "What do you think Evita? Can you understand?"
Evita pondered for a moment, and seemed to be uncertain: "Although I don't understand it, I always feel that I have seen this magic circle somewhere."
"Oh? Do you have an impression? Did you come into contact with this magic circle before?" Xu Yi asked quickly.
"No, I shouldn't have learned such a complex magic circle. It's just... I just think the appearance and style of this magic circle are very similar to a magic circle I've seen somewhere before. Maybe it has something to do with it." Ai Vita replied.
"Then do you remember the magic circle you saw?"
Evita thought for a while, took the pen and paper, and drew a magic circle on the paper.
The other three looked at the magic circle drawn by Evita, then looked at the magic circle on the base of the magic crystal lamp, and nodded at the same time.
"It's very similar. Although the magic circle on this magic crystal lamp is much more complicated, it can be seen that they are very close." Steele said.
Xu Yi watched the magic circle drawn by Avita for a while, thought for a while, and said to Avita, "Avita, will you set up this magic circle?"
Evita nodded slightly.
"Okay, you can arrange this magic circle now, and let's see what the effect is."
Akali slapped: "This is a good way, Evita, please arrange it."
Evita nodded, took out some magic materials, and began to arrange this magic circle on the floor of the living room.
This magic circle is far less complicated than the magic circle on the base of the magic crystal lamp, and it took Evita about ten minutes to arrange it.
Xu Yi motioned the three to back away and injected a bit of magic into the magic circle, and then saw a light blue light flashing quickly on the magic circle, and then an extremely bright white light burst out from the magic circle, and the whole living room was blown away. It was all set off in utter whiteness.
However, the white light flashed by and then disappeared.
The four of them stared blankly at the magic circle, and after waiting for a while, they didn't see any other changes, so they couldn't help but wonder.
"This is the end?" Akali pointed at the magic circle and glared. "Did you make a mistake, just let out a light, what's the use of this?"
Steele pondered: "This is probably the magic circle of advanced thunder magic of wind magic. However, this magic circle is very strange. It can only emit the electric light of thunder magic, but cannot feel the powerful power of any thunder magic. , looks like a failed magic circle. Evita, where did you know about this magic circle?"
"I saw it accidentally from a book." Evita's face was also a little disappointed. "I thought it would be useful, but I didn't expect it to be so bad."
The only one who didn't show any disappointment was Xu Yi. On the contrary, he was very excited.
After hearing the conversation between the three, Xu Yi laughed, stood up straight, patted Evita on the shoulder and said, "No no no, Evita, it is precisely because it is a failed magic circle, so it is very Useful. If this magic circle does not fail and reflects the powerful power of thunder magic, how can we use it as a fluorescent lamp? Well, I now announce a research task to the three of you, that is Study this magic circle well, and the ultimate goal is to improve it so that it can emit light stably, understand?"
The three of Steele looked at each other and nodded in unison.
Compared with the incomparably complicated magic circle on the magic crystal lamp, the magic circle drawn by Evita is much easier to understand.
"Of course, you'd better study the magic circle in this magic crystal lamp. If there is anything you don't understand, ask the great magician Camilla. He is now the special research consultant of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Take the opportunity to ask him questions about magic."
Needless to say, Steele, Akali and Evita both showed a hint of excitement after hearing Xu Yi's words.
Being able to consult a great magician at any time is of vital help in improving their magical strength.
After Xu Yi explained a few more words, he was ready to leave.
In the past few days, Camby stayed in the Norma tribe and waited for the dwarves of the Angolan tribe. Xu Yi had to put more energy into the production work of the magic machine tool workshop. In addition to other various tasks, Xu Yi was very busy every day. So much so that there is no time to stay here for lunch.
Just after walking out of the door, Akali suddenly chased out of the room and stopped Xu Yi.
"Master President, you...Are you going to attend the banquet of the Business Federation in two days?"
"Well, how did you know?" Xu Yi was a little surprised.
"It was Steele who told me." Akali pointed to the door at the back, and then showed a twisted look, hesitatingly said: "Master President, can you... can I ask you one thing? ?"
This was the first time Xu Yi saw this twisted look on this lively girl, which made him laugh a little.
"What's the matter? Speak and listen. If you can help, I will not disappoint you."
Seeing Xu Yi agreeing happily, Akali's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly asked, "Listen to Steele, it seems that you don't have a female companion for this banquet?"
Xu Yi was startled and looked at Akali in confusion: "No. What? Could it be that you want to be my girlfriend?"
Akali smiled: "Master President, you are really wise, yes, I want to go to the banquet with you as your female companion, would you like to?"
Xu Yi was a little strange: "Why do you suddenly want to go to this banquet? This kind of banquet is very boring."
"Well... I just want to see and see. How is it? Lord President, will you promise me?" Akali showed a pleading expression.
"It's okay to take you there, but Akali, you are my girlfriend on this occasion, aren't you worried that others will mistake you for my girlfriend?" Xu Yi joked.
Akali stiffened her chest, which was not very straight, and said with a grin: "As long as you agree, I am very willing to be your girlfriend. But well... it's okay, if I really want to be yours. Girlfriend, then someone will be angry. Lord President, so you are willing to take me to the banquet?"
Xu Yi nodded: "Okay, since you want to go so much, then I'll take you there."
"That's great! President, you are such a good person!" Akali cheered and hugged Xu Yi with open arms, then let go abruptly, and ran back into the house like a rabbit.
Seeing her figure disappear, Xu Yi couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.
These little girls really don't know what's going on in their heads.
