Chapter 291 The birth of the first pair of glasses

The masked weirdo held a piece of paper in his hand and danced around saying something to Olivia. He spoke too fast and Felissa didn't understand. She only saw Olivia nodding her head.

"Okay, I know everything," Olivia stopped the masked man from talking, "I'll talk about this later when I have time. Give me your mask first."

The masked man took off his mask, handed it to Olivia, and stepped aside.

Olivia showed the mask to Felissa. The special thing about this mask is that there are two transparent lenses inlaid in the eyes. The mask is fixed on the face through straps, so that the lenses overlap with the eyes. This

It can be called a method.

"The mask... doesn't work very well," Felissa said slowly.

Many people don't necessarily feel comfortable wearing glasses. There is a little weight on the bridge of the nose. They are definitely not used to it at first. However, this small discomfort is nothing compared to clear vision. After wearing it for a long time, it will naturally become uncomfortable.

got used to.

"Yeah," Olivia sighed, "I wanted to make one for me, but I couldn't."

Of course, any aristocratic lady wears a mask every day. Olivia's doing so is too different and easily attracts attention. Those who don't know may think that Olivia's face is shameful.

Felissa asked: "So you brought me to see this?"

Olivia returned the mask to the original owner, and continued walking into the castle with Felissa: "Yes, I will ask them to make one for me now. You can help me look aside and see where I can find one."

improved."

"If glasses can be promoted, they will be useful to many people." Felissa did not refuse Olivia's arrangement. This is just a small effort, and it can help in scientific creation and invention.

"Call it glasses? It's also a good name," Olivia nodded, and then said with regret, "The telescope we sent to the Royal City before was renamed a telescope."

Felissa was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "I changed it."

Olivia immediately changed her words and said: "It sounds pretty good and very appropriate."

After a brief moment of silence, the two couldn't help laughing and looked at each other, feeling quite intimate.

Olivia opened a room, and there was also a masked man in the room. It seemed that the people here were more or less myopic.

After understanding what Olivia was going to do, the masked man didn't have any more words to say, so he immediately went to his desk and started drawing. Felissa's simple drawing was broken down into parts, and each part was heavily marked.

with instructions.

Did the glasses that could be bought easily in her previous life actually require so many processes to make?

In this era, there was neither resin nor plastic, and the metal process was more troublesome, so in order to make it as quickly as possible, we could only use wood to make the spectacle frames.

Of course, it is not easy to make it with wood, and it will take a while. Olivia asked Felissa if she wanted to take a rest.

"Go and do your work," Felissa asked Olivia to provide her with a room. She did not forget that the first masked man had something to report to her, "Don't worry about me."

Olivia took Felissa to the room where she usually stayed in the castle. After all, she didn't trust Felissa to use other rooms, for fear that people here would bump into her.

Then she found a mask and put it on her face and hurried out.

Felissa didn't dare to move around the things in Olivia's room. This was both a lesson and a way to avoid trouble, so after turning around a few times, she slowly lay down on the bed.

Then something hit her waist. Felissa sighed and fumbled to take out the thing stuffed in the quilt.

It's a pen and a stack of paper.

Reading and writing in bed at night, who is myopic if Olivia is not myopic?

I originally wanted to put these things on the table, but I was attracted by the words recorded on the paper.

There is a thing called "Goddess' Kiss" recorded on it. It is not magic but it is amazingly powerful. It can explode four to five meters thick rock formations. Because the power is like the feeling in the mind when being kissed by a goddess, it is named "

Kiss of the Goddess".

Felissa's mouth twitched slightly, what a goddess kiss, this is obviously dynamite.

No wonder the whole castle is filled with the smell of sulfur. People here are not only studying telescope glasses, but more importantly, they are studying explosives.

Felissa thought of the two loud noises she heard in the morning. Could that sound be related to this "goddess kiss"?

This was not an issue that she should understand deeply, so Felissa just pushed the idea back into her heart and pretended not to see anything.

Olivia didn't want to ignore the guests all the time. About an hour later, she returned to the room and already had a pair of glasses in her hand. She handed the glasses to Felissa to look at.

“It’s relatively simple, I think there are still many areas for improvement.”

Indeed, this pair of glasses only has a rough outline and the lenses are embedded in it. The frame is not polished, and there are still some rough handles. The temples cannot be folded, and there are no nose pads. It is easy to slide down when wearing them.

Felissa put forward these suggestions one by one. Olivia listened carefully and took notes.

"The problems you mentioned are not difficult to solve, but if we want to mass-produce them, I think we still need an experienced carpenter to do it, and the style should be better-looking. We need to find someone to design it. The price of metal frames can be increased.

No one except the nobles would buy metal anyway."

Olivia's thoughts have drifted far away. She has already thought about the future, from the development to production to sales of glasses. It can be felt that she has a rough but clear enough plan.

Felissa felt that she might... meet a very powerful girl again.

A feeling of "everyone I know is a big shot, but I am the only one" arises spontaneously.

"Miss Olivia," Felissa reminded her softly, "the frame is easy to copy, but the lenses are the most important thing."

Making eyeglass frames is not difficult. No one has made it before just because they didn't think of it. Once it is made, experienced craftsmen can see how it is made at a glance. However, without lenses, the frame can only be a decoration.

Today's lenses are still made of polished crystals, which are expensive to make. After calculating the cost, only nobles can use them, and ordinary people cannot afford them, let alone use them.

"You're right," Olivia nodded and continued to take notes, "Finding alternatives to crystals and reducing costs are the key to developing glasses."

"If it is only intended to be used by nobles, maybe there is no need to reduce the cost?" Felissa said slowly and hesitantly, "The higher the price, the more nobles will actually buy it."

Olivia raised her head, glanced at Felissa, and chuckled: "Do you have any questions about my family's position?"
