1082 Chapter 1082: Gas Lamp

After getting acquainted with the villa, Aslan sat on the sofa by himself, almost sinking into the sofa.

Emily was very tactful and brought black tea to Aslan.

"Do you know how to manage a villa?" Aslan took a sip of black tea.

The taste is not bad.

Emily had been prepared for a long time. Her mother used to be a personal servant of a member and was also in charge of managing a villa.

After the mother's health improved slightly, she immediately asked about the key points and wrote down a book full of notes.

"Master, I've already thought about it, the villa still needs..."

Hearing Emily's methodical report on the number of servants needed by the villa, Aslan nodded in satisfaction.

The little girl is not bad!

Putting down the black tea cup, Aslan looked at Emily with great interest and asked, "Do you know why I chose you?"

Emily pondered for a long time, and finally shook her head.

She also couldn't figure it out. There was also a rumor in the club that Mr. Amuro might have special hobbies such as pedophilia.

But of course this kind of thing can't be said.

"Do you know that you have magical talent?" Aslan said.

Emily nodded. She more or less guessed that she had magical talent, but what about magical talent? She didn't have a suitable way of meditation, and she couldn't lay a solid foundation since she was a child. It would be too slow to start practicing at her current age. .

As for why the club didn't train her in the past, the reason is very simple. It is impossible for the club to waste too many resources on her when it is impossible to determine whether her talent is high or low. Moreover, the best age to learn magic happens to be the most difficult time for the mother. There are even people who want the lives of their mother and daughter, and it is even more impossible to have the opportunity to learn magic.

"Very good!" Aslan was a little surprised, and put a set of entry-level meditation methods specially selected by Emily on the table.

"You are cultivating hard while running the villa. If you can enter the state of meditation within a week, I will consider keeping you. If not, I will send you back."

Emily's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at the scroll on the table in front of her. Is that the mysterious and precious magician's meditation method?

"Owner!"

Emily's body trembled slightly.

"Remember, you only have one week."

"yes!"

Emily, who has been at the bottom of the club all the time, is very aware of the importance of the opportunity, and she agrees without any hesitation, holding the idea of ​​meditation tightly with her hands.

Although that set of meditation methods is only an entry-level one, the meditation effect is very ordinary, and can only be described as high-end products. Magicians with a little background will not use this set of meditation methods.

This set of meditation methods has a name, called the Quick Meditation Method.

The key lies in the quick meditation, which enables beginners to master the state of meditation as quickly as possible.

The more advanced the meditation method, the more difficult it is for beginners to enter the meditation state, but this kind of normality is considered insufficient by magicians. This is also the more advanced meditation method, the fewer successors, because the entry is too slow, As for getting started with other meditation methods and then switching to top-level meditation methods, it takes a long time to adapt and change the magic attributes.

It takes too much time to go back and forth like this, and many magicians have delayed the best training time because of this.

The quick meditation method is a set of non-attribute meditation methods. After mastering the meditation state proficiently, there is no obstacle at all to switching to other meditation methods.

Aslan had done experiments with a large number of magic apprentices. The worst magic apprentices were able to master meditation in a month, and the most talented apprentices were able to master it in only a week.

However, if a magic apprentice is to learn the top-level meditation method at the beginning, it may take a year or two to master the meditation method.

After Aslan simply taught Emily to master the quick meditation method, he left the Mengo Club. He was going to the lamp factory that Artoria had recently built. Under her supervision, the gas lamps had already been produced.

The upper class in the middle countries only use magic lamps for face-facing equipment, while ordinary civilians and low-level people mainly use candles for face-facing devices.

If the normal development is followed, kerosene lamps should appear, but the Maxim Empire directly produced coal into coal crystals, skipping the stage of kerosene, which prevented the kerosene lamps from appearing.

Aslan's newly opened lamp factory mainly produces two kinds of lamps: gas lamps and horse lamps.

Lantern, a kind of portable, weatherproof kerosene lamp, can be hung on the horse when riding a horse at night, hence the name. Most of the coastal areas are used on boats, and they are also called "boat lights", especially in windy and rainy weather, they are really a sharp lighting tool for fishermen!

Gas lamps are somewhat similar to horse lamps in appearance, but the working principles of the two are not the same, so there are some differences in specific structures. First of all, after the gas lamp is loaded with kerosene or paraffin oil, it is necessary to pump air into the oil pot at the base to generate a certain pressure so that the kerosene can be sprayed from the lamp nozzle above the oil pot.

Secondly, the gas lamp has no wick, and its lamp cap is a gauze cover made of castor fiber or asbestos that is placed on the lamp cap. The old technology uses thorium nitrate solution to soak it; and the upper part of the gas lamp has a hood like the brim of a straw hat. Because the gauze cover is made by soaking in thorium nitrate solution, when the gauze cover encounters high temperature, it will emit a dazzling white light. A gas lamp can illuminate a range of more than ten meters around.

However, sometimes the gas lamps have been on for too long, and some gas needs to be pumped up halfway.

Both of these lamps are brighter than candles, and are cheaper.

Among them, it can also drive the development of kerosene. Nuomili is going to prepare a kerosene refinery. With the combination of the two, Aslan is excited when he thinks about how huge the market will be.

Suddenly Aslan could not help laughing himself.

He is a majestic emperor, why is he more and more fond of making these messy inventions, and he especially likes doing business.

"Sure enough, after the pressure is gone, the nature is exposed!"

After Aslan cursed secretly, he figured out how to maximize the benefits of horse lanterns and gas lanterns. As for why these two kinds of lanterns were not promoted to the imperial palace, the reason was very simple. The magic lanterns of the empire were already as cheap as here. Is it still necessary to promote this product?

The carriage soon came to the newly built Guangming Lamp Factory in Thorn Street. The lamp factory was surrounded by elite mafia layers of protection. After all, the technical patents for these two lamps had not yet been applied for, so we had to be careful.

Arturia was already waiting at the door.

"Thank you, dear."

Arturia naturally took Aslan's arm.

"Husband, you are a genius, how could you think of such a thing."
