Chapter 219 How to get more rewards
Before being named by the old man, Master Aurora Wharton, had been arguing with Gretel for quite a while.If it weren't for the excitement of everyone nearby and the attention being attracted by the microscope, someone would definitely have noticed their conversation:
"I remember you have one too?"

"Yeah yeah."

"You already have it and you still let him go up and talk about it?!"

"Oh... oh, he's already gone up, why bother to take him down. Besides, that person didn't say he invented it, he only said he discovered it in the south..."

"But there is a prize for this! There is a prize! Don't you want that immortal flame..."

"That... haha... It's okay to think of a way in the future, it's really not good to snatch it from him... I have other ways to get that thing..."

"But why did you miss out on an award for nothing!"

The two whispered shoulder to shoulder, you can't convince me, and I can't convince you.Until the old man in work clothes announced the award, Aurora raised Gretel's arm in a hurry...

Gretel tried to struggle.However, Aurora didn't know if it was two years older than him, or she had secretly added [The Strength of the Bull] to herself, and when she grabbed it, Gretel couldn't move.I can only watch Aurora bend his arm, pointing at him and saying loudly:

"He already has this thing!"

There was a sudden silence in the hall.The old man in overalls looked at Aurora, at the magician whose hands were held by him, and then at Gretel, his rosy face darkened bit by bit.The hands of the magician in front of him trembled slightly, and his face turned gray visibly, as he murmured repeatedly:
"I said I found it... I didn't say I did it... I said I met it in the south..."

The old man in overalls was silent.After a moment, he let go of the other party's hands, turned to the audience, and coughed slightly majesticly:
"What's your name? Who is the teacher?"

"I am Aurora Wharton, and my teacher is Archmage Carlisle." Aurora answered smoothly.The old man in overalls nodded lightly, his face slightly amiable:
"It turned out to be Carlisle's disciple. I understand that you want to protect your friend, but the object of our reward in this meeting is the behavior of magicians to widely share knowledge with their companions. Although your friend has long had this—"

He tapped the microscope under his hand lightly:

"However, he has never submitted it to "The Philosopher's Stone". Therefore, it is impossible to give him this reward."

Aurora stuck.He turned his head to look at Gretel, his face turned red and then pale, his lips opened and closed, like a golden-red koi being lifted out of the water.Reluctantly, Gretel took a step in front of him and bowed slightly to the old man in overalls:
"Thank you, master, for your suggestion, and thank you, Mr., for your enthusiastic promotion of microscopes. Regarding what Aurora just said, I would like to add—"

He reached out to wipe his waist, took out a stack of papers from the space bag, and held them up in both hands:

"I made this microscope last July to curb the plague. In February this year, I had already written a paper on its usage, and submitted it to the Magic Review Department together with the real object. As for not submitting an article to "The Philosopher's Stone", no For drawing the attention of the masters, I can only say... I am very sorry."

He raised his hands and sent it lightly.The old man in work clothes frowned slightly, and with a movement of his fingers, a pair of transparent mage's hands took the paper and sent it directly to him.There are two lines of big characters on the cover, the ink is thick and clear, and it is still clear after several months:

"Several records of observing onion skins, cork, meat, and bees and other insects with a self-made microscope"

Inside the cover was a note.For this paper, the reward given by the council is 1 research point and 1 contribution point; there is also a "Record of Observing Shigella Bacillus with a Self-made Microscope" later, which is also 1 research point and [-] contribution point.The old man raised his thick eyebrows and was about to be furious:
Who reviewed these two papers?

Which bastard is so blind? !
Such an important invention that can open the door to a new world for magicians is worth this little reward? !
No wonder people dare not submit articles...it's strange if they dare to submit articles!Who would think that such a consoling reward could be published in a journal?

But now is not the time to rush to the Magic Review Department and slap the table for accountability.The old man in work clothes flipped through the paper quickly, confirmed the originality of the microscope, immediately smiled at Gretel, and beckoned him to come up:
"So, do you have anything else to share about this—the microscope?"

"... Yes." Gretel walked up briskly, and the magicians spontaneously turned their bodies to give him a wide passage.Gretel sat on the stage and began to operate the microscope skillfully. At the same time, he took out something from the space bag:
"First of all, I want to explain that it is not the best way to directly put the object to be observed on the stage. Because the object will be uneven, it will not be well focused, and the best observation effect will not be achieved.

I usually sandwich it between two pieces of glass—the lower one is thick and solid, called a slide glass, and the upper one is more transparent and thinner, called a cover glass...It is best to have a constant light source under the stage, This makes it easier to see..."

"In addition to relying on the objective lens and eyepiece to magnify, there is another method, which is to drop a drop of oil on the cover glass. Using the shape and refraction of the oil drop itself, the specimen can be magnified by 2 to 10 times. The oil drop is best clear It is transparent and has a good refractive index. I use refined olive oil, and it is said that cedar oil works best, but I haven't bought it..."

"The principle of the microscope is that the magnified real image of the first lens must fall within the focal length of the second lens. So the calculation of the focal length is very important..."

"If you can find a good enough craftsman, the objective lens part can be made into a turntable, and several objective lenses can be rotated back and forth. With eyepieces that can be raised and lowered, you can observe objects at different magnifications... The jewelry maker I found at the beginning was not skilled enough, so I just made such a tube..."

"There are many ways to increase the magnification and allow users to see more clearly. One is to grind better lenses to make the magnification of the convex lens higher. Of course, it is also possible to use magic to magnify instead of grinding the lenses. ;
The second is to improve the grinding accuracy of the inner wall of the lens barrel, so that the inner wall is bright enough to see things without blurring;

The third is to seal the lens barrel, if possible, fill it with... a stable, non-flammable gas to prevent dust from entering and condensing water vapor; "

"If there is a strong enough light source and the quality of the convex lens is good enough, a light barrier can be installed in the center of the condenser so that the illumination light does not directly enter the objective lens, and only the light reflected and diffracted by the specimen is allowed to enter the objective lens. In this case, the magnification can significantly improve the…”

"Before observing the specimen, it should be dyed. I have written the dyeing method and reagent separately in the paper, but there is still a need for further research and development..."

Gretel talked one by one.On the rostrum, the magician who was originally promoting the microscope became more and more embarrassed the more he heard it, and finally started to move towards the audience.His face was flushed, and even the Mediterranean Sea, which was not covered by his thinning hair, was flushed with red.

He walked down with his head down.Bending over, the hem of the robe mopping the floor, he seemed to be sluggish.Gretel couldn't bear this pitiful look just by looking at it—it was too miserable, if he hadn't appeared by accident, he could have gotten the reward and turned over smoothly...

No one reached out to stop him.No one made a sound to stop it.Even the old man in overalls who praised him at the beginning, saying that this award should go to him, just looked at him with pity.Gretel's eyes fell on him from time to time, and suddenly he took two quick steps and grabbed the unlucky bald magician:

"Actually, you don't have to go down..."

The bald magician suddenly raised his head, his face was full of surprise, and he took a step back subconsciously.Gretel stopped looking at him, and while reaching out to stop him, he looked at the old man in overalls on the rostrum:
"As you said, Master, this meeting rewards the act of sharing 'discovery'. Sir,"

Having said that, he tried his best to drag the bald magician, and pulled him to the rostrum:

"The behavior of promoting the microscope has actually achieved a very good sharing effect. And he also claimed before that he 'discovered' this instrument, not 'invented' it. Therefore, there is no need to deprive him of my presence. Well deserved honor."

"But you..." The bald magician's lips trembled.The reward that was about to come to nothing, but the owner of the invention spoke for himself.Big ups and downs, big ups and downs, he wants to decline, wants to thank, but he doesn't know what to say.In the middle of the venue, Aurora Wharton has already screamed:
"Hey, you..."

Gretel turned around with a smile and waved his hands to his followers.There was silence in the venue, the magicians around, the bosses on the stage, everyone's attention was focused on Gretel:
Half of the people, especially the older and poorly dressed magicians, looked at Gretel with admiration.The other half, mainly young and energetic magicians, looked sideways, with an expression of being taken advantage of.Aurora Wharton even heard someone whispering behind her:
"Is this guy stupid?"

"Give up everything you get?"

"Why give it up to others... That guy is old and poor, he has no potential, and it's useless if he subdues him?"

Aurora Wharton turned her head back, glaring.Then he turned to Gretel, and trying to stretch his neck, he almost climbed onto the chair:
"What are you doing to him! Don't you still want that—"

"Oro!"

Gretel stopped loudly.He pushed the bald magician forcefully, let him take two steps forward, and made way for him sideways.The old man in overalls kept looking at him softly, neither approving nor stopping him, until the two were at loggerheads, then stood up with a smile:

"you--"

Having said that, he quickly lowered his gaze, and glanced at the cover of the paper from the corner of his eye:
"Great Nordmark, you mean, you want to give up the annual award of "The Philosopher's Stone" to this magician?"

"I abide by the rules and respect the judges of the masters." Gretel Lang Lang replied.The old man smiled deeper:
"Even if you don't get the prize in the end?"

"Even if you don't get the award." Gretel was unusually calm.A piece of magic equipment is nothing, if he follows his plan, what he can get is far more than just a piece of equipment.

"Very good." The old man clapped his hands thickly and nodded calmly. "Then I now announce that, since this gentleman is the original promoter of the microscope, and his work has had a huge impact, this year's award from "The Philosopher's Stone" will be given to him—"

He reaches out.The bald magician froze in place, his hair was sparse, and the Mediterranean was instantly red.There was a slight commotion in the venue, some people envied that person's good luck, some people couldn't help pointing their fingers, muttering that Gretel was such a fool.Master Wharton couldn't help crying out, looked at the old man, and collapsed helplessly:

"Ugh……"

Can't stand it.

Stubborn.

The opponent's level is too high.

My teammates, no, my boss is too slow, and I can give away everything I get...

However, his sigh was abruptly stuck in the middle.On the rostrum, the old man smiled again and raised his hand to Gretel:
"Then, Mr. Gretel Nordmark, are you willing to publish your paper in "The Philosopher's Stone" and authorize the Alchemy Society to produce and improve your invention?"

Aurora Wharton froze in place.He turned his head one by one like a zombie, looking at Gretel's calm smiling face, and his cervical vertebra creaked in his neck.

Known: For recommending this achievement, you can get an award from the alchemy branch, and you can get a tailor-made magic device that meets your own level.

Known: The reward obtained by the creator of the achievement should not be lower than that of the promoter in any case.

Ask: How much should the creator take?
