What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 72
After the experiment, Colin slept for almost two full days.

This made Tessa at a loss for a while, thinking that the younger brother had some serious illness.

Although she knew what important experiment the teacher and Colin had been working on a few days ago, she didn't know what it was.

Fortunately, on the third day, Ke Lin appeared in the restaurant in good spirits, and ate half of the roast goose.

……

Youjin Chamber of Commerce.

The shed used to build the phonograph is still preserved and is currently being used to build the phonograph.

In addition to the one for the Principality of Gilman, the Youjin Chamber of Commerce has a total of twelve photo cameras, two of which are placed in the headquarters for making Dinah's "star photos", and one mobile for door-to-door service , and the other nine are distributed in the nine shops of the chamber of commerce. Although the current business is not as hot as it was at the beginning, the reservations for the nine shops have already been scheduled for next year.

Colin looked at the jet-black and bronze-colored machine in front of him, and finally felt a sense of familiarity.

Unlike the photo recorder, the appearance of the gramophone is very close to that of the previous life.

A large rectangular wooden box and a large copper horn with its head held high.

It's just that the overall shape is bigger.

After Wald demonstrated several times on the spot, Colin nodded in satisfaction.

After several days, his "boss" and main designer finally came to accept the final result.

The effect of the phonograph is better than expected, and the expected noise is not obvious. Although it cannot be compared with the high-end stereo in the previous life, it can barely be compared with the ordinary tape recorder.

"Mr. Wayne, what do you think?"

Because there was a setback last time, when Colin actually came this time, everyone didn't dare to look too excited, for fear that something was not good enough.

"Very good." Ke Lin looked at everyone, "Thank you for your hard work."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"but……"

Everyone was nervous again.

Ke Lin smiled and said: "From the design point of view, this is already a complete work, but if we want to use it commercially, we seem to need to add some content."

Wald asked seriously: "Mr. Wayne, what do you think needs to be revised?"

"Not modification."

Ke Lin said: "My idea is to build another machine that can only be used for broadcasting, and make the sound stone that stores the sound detachable and movable."

If there were traversers present, they would definitely understand what Colin was talking about was the "speaker" and "tape".

He didn't plan to sell the phonograph directly, but he could completely popularize the "audio player" into a household appliance. When he needed to listen to other audio works, he could just replace the "tape".

He didn't know if there were any guys in Thunder City who were good at singing, maybe he could consider making a few more popular singers like Dinah...

Everyone was silent for a long time.

Wald was the first to react, and said, "You mean, we can only sell sound playback machines in the future, and then sell sound stones regularly?"

"That's right." Colin nodded.

Feniya nodded slightly and said, "Keep the recording part in your own hands, and only sell sound stones to the outside world. This will indeed make the business last longer."

Wald said: "The sound stone is now made of aquamarine, and its shape is oblate. Maybe we can name it 'sound disc'."

"Good idea." In this aspect, Colin completely believed in the aesthetics of "locals".

Phineya laughed and said, "The broadcasting machine can be compared with the photo recording machine, and it can be named 'Sound Playing Machine', how about it?"

"It is indeed simpler and more memorable." Eleanor agreed.

"In that case."

Colin looked at the man standing by the phonograph and said with a smile, "Mr. Walder, I believe you should be able to design and build these two things."

"After listening to your description, I am willing to try it." Wald replied.

"Okay, but I have a deadline. Three days before His Majesty's birthday, I need to see the finished product. Is there a problem?" Colin asked.

Wald calculated the time, nodded and said, "I will not let you down."

"Okay, then continue to work hard everyone."

Ke Lin looked at everyone with a smile: "After this matter is over, I will give everyone extra New Year's bonus... um... Rewards, New Year's rewards."

He originally wanted to say that Ms. Phinea would not treat you badly, but then he thought that the chamber of commerce could not always pay for it, so he didn't take anything away.

So far, whether it is Eleanor and the other nine people, or Walder, he has been very satisfied.

As the teacher said, Tulun's backwardness in element research cannot be reversed by one person. In this case, it is imperative to find and discover talents.And in order to retain talents, one must show sincerity—I don’t know if there is such a thing as a year-end award in this world...

……

Everyone watched Ke Lin leaving in a hurry, speechless for a long time.

Angelo said with some doubts: "Mr. Wayne seems to be very busy recently. He hasn't come to the chamber of commerce for a few days. He finally came here once and left soon."

"The last time I went to the association, I left without saying a few words. Even the news that the phonograph was built couldn't keep him."

"Perhaps the phonograph is nothing to Mr. Wayne."

"But having said that, Mr. Wayne seems to be always in a hurry." Eleanor said.

"If you meet him in the library, I'm afraid you will understand." Wald sighed, "Mr. Wayne can stand in front of the bookshelf for a whole day, without any other actions except turning the pages of the book."

"Amazing."

"Genius plus hard work is why you can achieve what you are now."

"If only I could concentrate like this."

"Me too, I fall asleep every time I read a book."

"I can even fall asleep meditating..."

"..."

……

The success of the space magic experiment greatly boosted Colin's confidence, and he devoted almost all his time to it.

Until one day, the senior sister brought him a new suit for him to try on, and then told him that tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday.

"So fast?"

Ke Lin suddenly remembered that he hadn't gone to the Chamber of Commerce to check and accept the final work of the gramophone, and because he hadn't left the Mage Tower for several days in a row, Wald and the others couldn't contact him at all.

"Is your present ready?" Tessa asked.

"It's almost done." Ke Lin smiled awkwardly: "Sister, I'm going out for a trip, and I'll be back soon."

……

"Mr. Wald, your rigor and efficiency are really reassuring."

Ke Lin looked at the "speaker" that was almost exactly as he had imagined, and secretly rejoiced.

Because the process is much simpler, the shape of the phonograph is much smaller than that of a phonograph, and it can be easily carried by one person, and the playback horn configured on it is not as exaggerated and bulky as a phonograph.

"Mr. Wayne, because you said last time that you would give the first phonograph to a distinguished guest, so I paid special attention to it."

"Oh?" Colin was curious: "Is there anything special about it?"

Seeing that Colin couldn't see his own efforts, Wald was a little disappointed, but he quickly explained:

"I redesigned the shape of the machine to make it look more refined and elegant, and I invited Master Leopold, a famous painter in Thunder City, to design a pattern and then engrave it on it. Do you see that it is better than the one you gave before? Does the sketch look better?"

Ke Lin observed carefully for a long time, but he didn't think there was anything good-looking at all, and then he smiled awkwardly: "It really looks much better."
