Chapter 96 Safe Use of Electricity
In the cold winter night with snowflakes, magic crystal lamps with different brilliances set off Duke James' villa with magnificent and dazzling brilliance, just like the bright stars gathered in the deep night sky.
Even high-level magicians, no one would arrange their magic towers with crystal lamps. They often use magic candles to illuminate them habitually, and the effect is not bad anyway.
For most of the nobles here, they only understood what it means to be truly brilliant and beautiful today. They could not imagine that there are such dreamy scenes besides the natural scenery. This is a spectacular scene that comes from the great power of human beings to change the world and can be popularized!
"Please enter the villa with respect." Barrek's female student Lillian seemed to be the host of the banquet, and smiled and signaled everyone to step into this "brilliant" villa like the Sun King's Palace.
Aristocratic ladies who love beauty carried their skirts, their eyes fluttered, and they were throbbing and yearning. They couldn't wait to walk into Duke James' villa, and the gentlemen followed closely, curious and amazed.
"The effect seems to be very good, and it seems that there is no problem with the initial promotion of our magic crystal lamp." As a man who devoted himself to making money, Arthur quickly came back to his senses from this shocking scene.
Even if he had never seen a similar spectacular scene in the past, it did not prevent him from focusing most of his attention on observing the nobles' reaction to the magic crystal lamp.
"I want to install my magic tower too!" Affreys had the least resistance to the shining things. The bright lights just now made it saliva flow, "I will pay the bill with the arcane point!"
After earning its treasure house gold, gems, crystals, etc., it was extremely difficult to take it out again. Lucien even suspected that it had "embezzled" most of the materials it built on its magic tower, and then it turned into the ugly and ugly mountain now - it was located in Arlinge anyway. It was not afraid of being attacked.
"But it is only limited to the nobles. If the cost cannot be reduced again and popularized to the citizens, it will lose its meaning of simplifying and promoting. This is the result of civilization that every human being should enjoy." Lucien expressed his feelings that the advancedness of a civilization should be the changes and improvement it brings to the lives of most members of society. Now, the electrical era that is about to begin has such capabilities!
Arthur destroyed Lucien's feelings in confusion: "But there is no hope for reducing costs again in a short period of time."
"Well, we need a large number of skilled workers to separate some of the steps that do not require magic and compress costs through assembly lines, standardization and other methods." Lucien's capitalist nodded slightly, thinking of the dwarf descendants of the Night Plateau. However, he caused such a big change in the vampire clan and was no longer suitable to pick them up in a short period of time. At least two or three years later, when everyone's attention is completely shifted to the search for new unknown spaces.
"The training of a large number of skilled workers takes a long time..." Arthur did not understand what assembly line and standardization mean, but he was not interested in asking for it for the time being, because even the basic premise could not be met.
At this time, Lillian turned off the main crystal lamp in the banquet hall. Only a few small ones were left, and the light immediately became dim and hazy, bringing out a warm and romantic feeling.
She smiled humorously and said, "Don't worry that the popularity of magic crystal lamps will make us lose the romantic atmosphere of dinner under candlelight. Romance is always the soul and emotion. As long as you do it sincerely, you will definitely create the feeling you want."
"When you pass through the corridors of the castle at night, you no longer have to worry about the candlelight being too dark and the environment being too gloomy. The bright feeling will always accompany you with the use of the magic crystal lamp."
Tsk. Lucien bared her teeth. She must have collected Arthur's money. She spared no effort to promote the magic crystal lamp, but I like it! This can bring significant annuity benefits!
After visiting Duke James' villa, the banquet entered the elegant court dance session - the conservative Holm Kingdom had not yet begun to prevail in the circle dance that spread from the Tria court. The dance of the arm-shoulder and tight hugs caused many conservative aristocrats to be scolded. Only some young people would dance this dance called erotic when they were gathered in private.
"Mr. Evans, the magic crystal lamp you designed is so beautiful. I have ordered a set from Mr. Arthur. I didn't expect it to be popular to this extent." A dignified girl with a tight collar walked to Lucien with boiled water and said with admiration.
The set she mentioned refers to the set needed to transform a complete villa, and the price is only equivalent to a magic crystal lamp from the past.
Lucien shook the sky blue in the cup and smiled: "This is due to the convenience of current transmission of energy."
"Well, to be honest, when the lady pressed the switch just now, I was shocked by the bright lights. I had an indescribable feeling, both dreamy and beautiful, and pride and proud. All of this is your masterpiece. You are such a miracle magician." The noble girl's face turned slightly red and her eyes were like water. "Even people like me who do not have the talent of a magician or a knight can use it, so you don't have to envy others anymore."
Lucien laughed and said, "It is my ideal to popularize some alchemy items so that most people can use them without barriers." Especially in life.
"You are such a great person." The noble girl sincerely praised Lucien, a thick-skinned guy, couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Alchemy items that most people can use, Evans, you have a profound idea..." Duke James and the Seventh Ring Mage Barreck walked over. After hearing Lucien's words, he sighed in a low voice, as if he could see Lucien's implicit purpose keenly.
When he saw Duke James, the noble girl's face turned a little redder and she hurriedly said to Lucien: "Mr. Evans, don't disturb you from communicating with the Duke."
"Haha, Evans, why are you standing by and watching like us old guys? Just now, Little Julie's face was full of the meaning of "Please dance me, please dance me, please, please, you are indifferent? Do you not look down on our cute little Julie? She is the baby granddaughter of Earl Haisong." James joked Lucien, "I noticed that you deliberately ignored several beautiful ladies before?"
Lucien took a sip of Tianlan and said half-exaggeratedly: "Maybe, my heart is really old and no longer like a young man."
Young, handsome, gentle and elegant, talented, extremely high status, great prospects and wealth. Lucien, who is so imaginative in the eyes of noble women, naturally attracted the favor of many ladies. Moreover, this is a pro-magical enlightened party, and they have no prejudice to marrying a magician. They are often full of fantasies.
Duke James laughed twice and then said, "When the water flow magic arrays converted into electricity increase, and when the lines of transport current are popularized, they will enter the citizen class, they will probably be able to use some simplified alchemy items cheaply and conveniently. And when they gradually get used to this kind of life, this life brought by magic rather than gods, I think Evans, your purpose has almost been achieved."
Lucien felt that it was time to get to know Duke James again. Although he was a vicious and reckless bald man on the outside, he was quite sharp inside and had a very open mind. He guessed a lot from just one sentence he said casually. Fortunately, he was an alliance.
"When the wires and electric energy drive methods are popularized, we have to consider an important issue. Currents are much more dangerous than candlelight. Touching candlelight with your hands will be burned at most. But touching broken wires is likely to die directly, which will make the church demonize the current and prevent its promotion." Lucien said of the question he intends to raise recently. At present, electricity is the cheapest and easiest energy to transmit. It is not comparable to mental power, solar energy, or tidal energy that is directly used.
James turned his head and looked at Barrek, and received a positive answer: "The electromagnetic magic lab. There are magicians who accidentally die every year because they forget to protect the electric shock."
There is a 50th place in the sillyest method of death: "Poor magician Osan discovered a more powerful lightning spell in a magic experiment accident, so he greeted it happily and excitedly. At this time, he discovered that the spherical lightning rolling in the room exceeded his limit of his protective spells. Let us thank him for his outstanding contribution to the improved spherical lightning magic, and even more thanks to his charred body for telling us that we must stay away from the out-of-control current."
"What should I do? Evans, since you have thought of it, there must be a way." James looked at Lucien with a smile, as if he believed in his ability.
Lucien said slowly: "The damage caused by electric current to the human body cannot be eliminated. We cannot force users to be magicians, nor can we use magical isolation for every piece of wire. I hope Mr. Barrek, your electromagnetic mage, can write a "Safe Electricity Manual" to teach people how to use electricity safely and avoid possible dangers."
"In the face of an unknown thing that is harmful and beneficial, we should not blindly reject and directly refuse like a foolish fool. Instead, we should try to avoid it, reduce its harm, use it, and exert its beneficial aspects. This is a mature and good view of arcane. Otherwise, we should not use flames. Although it can allow us to eat cooked food, it can also burn houses and burn humans."
"If the church and conservatives demonize the current and incite people to fight it, we must open up the wisdom of the people, let them understand the current, clearly understand the harm and benefits of the current, understand how to use electricity safely and reduce the demonized current to its "real" appearance. This is an arduous and meaningful struggle." Lucien's tone of speaking was becoming more and more like an arcane audit committee member.
Duke James nodded slightly: "A very illuminating point of view, Barrek, can you organize the writing of the electromagnetic mage?"
"No problem." Barrek agreed.
In their eyes, although Lucien's teacher is the master of the storm, he has not shown his electromagnetic talent and has no direct result. The electromagnetic mage believes that electrons are just a side effect of Lucien's exploration of elemental magic and cannot reflect his true level in the field of electromagnetic magic.
"Evans, when will you simplify the vocal magic array? This is something that the nobles must like." James talked about his purpose of finding Lucien. The issue of simplified electromagnetic communication technology has fallen into a bottleneck, and they are not optimistic about Lucien's level in this regard, so they did not mention it.
Lucien shook his head: "We need to find the right materials, and we are still experimenting again and again. We can't hurry up in the alchemy materials science, so we can only try it slowly."
In this regard, Lucien has experience on earth, has avoided many detours and has made a name for himself, but he has no intention of taking it out so quickly, and wait for the magic crystal lamp to be promoted first. The early stage of the electrical revolution requires concentration and steady progress.
"What a pity." Duke James sighed.

In the Magician Management Department, Eric looked at the familiar and down-and-out middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Levsky, long time no see, come to submit a new paper?"
"Long time no see, Eric, is the perfection of the previous paper." Levsky said bitterly, his hair was like a yellow bird's nest, his blue eyes were full of fatigue, and his body was as thin as a bamboo pole.
Eric frowned and said, "Didn't the previous article be judged by several committee members to fail the review?"
"I have perfected it..." Levsky's eyes firmly, "and I have heard that subversive papers that violate current theories can be submitted to Commissioner Evans."
"But so many committee members think that all you think is the geometry you imagine, it is all fallacy, and it is extremely absurd." Eric said in embarrassment, as if he wanted to persuade Levsky to give up.
Levsky clenched his fists, his eyes drooped, his tone trembled and firmly said: "I don't think I'm wrong, I want to show it to all the arcanes. Eric, please submit it for me."
Eric took the paper and saw the title read:
"Strict Proof of Principles of Geometry and Parallel Line Theorem".
