Lord God Investigator

Technological talents are already in place. Although Yao En, an old lunatic, has a bad mouth, his enthusiasm for dwarf technological inventions is still commendable.

He quickly began theoretical verification and program design with the help of Io.

Two feasible plans were devised.

The first is the film project, which is to develop photosensitive film and replicate the technology of early film films.

The advantage of this solution is that it is relatively easy to develop. All you need to do is prepare an excellent photosensitive developing solution, find a film material with suitable light transmittance and toughness, and create a movie film. By continuing to develop supporting equipment around film, the functions of recording, storing and showing films will soon be achieved.

Yao En has technical reserves in optical lenses. The "Yao En Technology Goggles" he wears are the pinnacle of Faerun's optical lens technology.

Soon experimental film was also born, and the silver halide emulsion photosensitive agent was not an incomprehensible black technology for Faerun alchemy.

The film material is made of the skin of the shapeshifter. This skin is kneaded after leaving the body of the shapeshifter. After drying, it becomes a leather strip with high transparency and flexibility, which is very suitable as a film base.

That's right, the poor shapeshifting family now performs during the day and sells meat at night. Every night after a tiring and desperate day of performances, they will be tied to an iron frame and screamed while being skinned by Luo Feng with a small sickle.

Anyway, the new skin will grow back quickly after the treatment is performed, and it will not even affect the performance the next day.

It is endless, endless, and extremely low cost. What a suitable source of film raw materials.

Faerun had not yet invented an anesthetic, so the peeling process was a little painful. Luo Feng thought that they could overcome this pain by gritting their teeth, so they were too lazy to spend time developing anesthetics to develop painless peeling techniques.

It's just that the output is a bit low. Stripping off the skin of the three-headed shapeshifter is not enough for ten minutes of film.

Film cameras and projectors were quickly trial-produced. After recording a stage play of "Titanic", Luo Feng's team conducted a trial viewing.

The effect is not very satisfactory. The film is in black and white. It is much more difficult to develop color film than black and white film. Yao En has not yet found a suitable alchemy potion to make a color developer.

Not to mention noise and scratches, the picture quality and clarity are the same as those of the earliest movies. You can only see a shadow, and the faces of the characters in the movie cannot be seen clearly.

Moreover, because sound recording technology had not yet been developed, this recording was a silent film.

This experimental film cannot even restore one ten thousandth of the effect of a live stage play. Even if the people of Faerûn are extremely short of entertainment, watching this low-quality film is just to watch something new. After the freshness is over, you probably won’t be willing to watch it again. all over.

With continued research and development, there is limited room for improvement in picture quality in the short term. If Yao En is given another three to five years, it will at most reach the level of black and white movies in the 1930s in the real world.

If research and development continues for a few years, film film technology can catch up with the real world and produce high-definition color films in the real world in the 1980s and 1990s.

But Luo Feng's team didn't have that much time to spend.

There is another problem with film movies, that is, there is no encryption technology, which makes it impossible to prevent piracy and copycats.

Once Bredlow's celluloid films hit the market and others see that the business is profitable, low-quality copycats and pirated films will spring up like mushrooms after rain.

Pirated movies can still be tolerated. Luo Feng's team doesn't care about money. Piracy will also help expand their influence and gain reputation.

Too many copycat movies will severely damage Luo Feng's team's plans.

Bad money drives out good money, and 10,000 low-priced and low-quality copycat movies of "Titanic" from other theater companies flood into the market. Who will know who the Bredlow Theater Company is by then?

Even if the theater company wants to issue an announcement criticizing copycat plagiarism, Faerûn will have to have public information platforms such as the Internet and newspapers and magazines.

With the speed of information circulation like Phelan's, maybe the inventor of the movie in more than ten years will have nothing to do with the Bradero Theater Company, and will be replaced by one of the most successful pirates or copycat giants.

In this regard, Yao En proposed a method of installing an acid trap bomb. If he dismantled the projector privately, he would be covered in acid.

This method was immediately rejected. There are countless high-level thieves in Faerûn. Dismantling an acid trap is like searching a bag to retrieve objects. It is meaningless to install a trap or not.

Furthermore, copycat film film technology does not require dismantling the prototype for reverse engineering. As long as you understand the basic principles and ask an alchemist to develop the silver halide photosensitive emulsion on the film, there are no technical barriers to the lens group and basic structure. You can research it casually. Out.

This plan failed the feasibility assessment and was rejected by Luo Feng's team.

The second set of research and development plans was put on the table.

This plan is exactly what Yao En mentioned before, using the illusion magic crystal as an information carrier to store audio information and video information in the crystal.

There are already similar illusion recording magic crystals in Faerûn. It was this kind of magic crystal that Lucite used when he secretly recorded the criminal evidence of the Bradero gang.

But the technology of the Phantom Magic Crystal is not yet mature.

A magic crystal can only be recorded once. After playing it two or three times, it will become ineffective because it loses the magic power contained in it and becomes an ordinary stone.

The audio restoration level recorded by the two magic crystals is acceptable, but the video resolution is not as good as black and white film movies. The characters and scenes are all blurred, and they look like a blurry shadow.

The focus of scientific research is focused on these two aspects. One is to increase the number of recording times of the phantom magic crystal. A magic crystal must be played at least ten times or even more than ten times. The second is to improve the clarity of the video recorded by the magic crystal, at least to the level of video tapes in the 1980s and 1990s.

The disadvantage of using phantom magic crystal is that the price of this kind of magic raw material is very high, and the materials related to magic are very scarce. Fortunately, the city of Ascaltra where the team is located is a maritime trade center. As long as it is posted on the bulletin board of the Port Area Chamber of Commerce When ordering large quantities of phantom magic crystals, merchants will naturally travel thousands of miles to transport them from the place of origin.

And its advantage is also very obvious, that is, it can be encrypted with the arcane mystery lock. After encryption, unless the password is known, even if the legendary arcanist uses his strength to forcibly decrypt it, the result is likely to be an explosion of the magic crystal, and all the information inside will be annihilated. .

This eliminates the problem of piracy.

The technical difficulty of the Magic Crystal VCR is concentrated in the collection of video by the lens group, the lossless compression of the video encryption information by the transcoder, and the restoration of the compressed video by the analysis chip. This contains a lot of real-world microelectronics technology. , Io has found the etching technology that transforms the changed design of "integrated circuit" into "integrated magic circuit".

This technology is too "technical" for Faerun's mages, and mages have to study dwarf technology for decades to master it. However, it is too "magic" for Faerun's dwarf technicians, and they need to be part-time mages to master it. Reach level 10 or above.

If you want to understand the principle and copy it, unless the copycat giants and pirate merchants can hire very unique cross-field talents like Yao En.

But there is only one Yao En.

Even if they could hire Yao En's twin brother, they would be helpless without Ao En's guidance.

After the plan was finalized, Yao En began continuous experiments on the phantom magic crystal, and the research and development progress bar began to scroll slowly.

The shapeshifters who heard the news celebrated each other, hugged each other and cried for a long time, all shedding tears of joy.

Being a monster is already so difficult, and you have to peel off your skin every day. Even the monsters can't stand it!

The Wujiuhu Theater continues to hold three performances every day to attract money. The "Bredro and Friends Cultural Technology Development Co., Ltd." Chamber of Commerce has also been officially registered at the city hall. The research and development of the Phantom Magic Crystal Camera is slowly advancing, and everything seems to be on the right track. On track, the plan is going smoothly.

However, the crisis is hidden under the tranquil sea like the iceberg that the Titanic hit.

Late one night, there was a sudden loud noise from the theater. Flames and thick smoke spurted out from the theater. The dull loud noise echoed in the cold streets of Daqiao District!

problem occurs!
