My Prime Minister is so cute

"Long time no see, teacher."

Sophia smiled and said, "Did you enjoy your honeymoon?"

"Don't try to play that game." Baird, who had been dragged here by students to do illegal work, was clearly in a bad mood. He simply waved his hand and said, "Where's your research project? Show it to me. I want to know what kind of research you're so secretive about that you wouldn't even reveal it before I got here."

"hey-hey."

Sophia smiled embarrassedly and then took out the blueprint of the magic oscilloscope.

She had studied this drawing during this period, but she was confused about many parts and didn't know where to start.

Baird took the drawing and looked at it carefully.

Just one glance and his brow furrowed tightly. "Magic oscilloscope? It can be used as a reference to create a magic oscilloscope. Using a special material coating and magic array guidance, it can transform magic power that ordinary people cannot observe into images visible to the naked eye???"

"what is this?"

He couldn't help but look up: "Any funny joke?"

Sophia shook her head and said affirmatively: "Teacher, this is true, I am not joking."

When Sophia first saw the blueprint, she was a little bit unconvinced, but out of trust in Bird, she subsequently carefully studied the feasibility of the blueprint. In fact, only a few of the most critical parts needed to be solved, and this magic oscilloscope could really be manufactured.

But this most critical part is not so easy to solve.

Hearing Sophia's affirmative tone, Baird said nothing. He found a chair to sit down, put on his glasses, and began to seriously study the feasibility of the magic oscilloscope drawing.

About an hour later.

Baird took off his glasses silently.

He had confirmed that the plan on the blueprint was feasible. Although he had never heard of some of the magical materials, it also provided seemingly feasible synthesis routes and methods - even if it was really a fake, it was worth experimenting at this level.

But the reason for his silence was not the authenticity of the drawing, but the meaning behind the drawing.

Ordinary people can also use an oscilloscope to observe the image of magic fluctuations.

This means that the status of magicians has been shaken. Although it is only a tiny bit, it is a major event that shakes the entire magician community.

Although magicians currently represent a group of people who possess the most advanced and progressive technology in the world, it does not mean that when the interests of the magicians themselves are involved, they will unconditionally agree to "make progress" and give up their own interests.

Besides, now that the magic oscilloscope has appeared, what about the future?

Will there be a more direct magical machine that allows ordinary people to observe magic and even manipulate magic?

Baird couldn't imagine it.

"This blueprint...where did you get it?" He asked after a long silence.

"This is a secret for now." Sophia kept it a secret and said, "Teacher, do you have a way to create a magic oscilloscope?"

"Yes, it can, but it will take some time."

Baird hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Although the blueprints are clearly marked, many of the materials require repeated attempts to synthesize, and it won't be completed in a short time."

Material synthesis is a metaphysical thing.

Even if the same materials and steps are used for synthesis, completely different things may be synthesized. There are too many reasons involved... material purity, temperature control, magic interference, and it may even be related to the ambient humidity.

In short, even though the synthesis path of the special material was indicated on the drawing, Baird was not very confident that he could make it all at once, and he needed to try slowly.

As for what happened after the magic oscilloscope was created.

Baird had already anticipated that the world of magical machines would be in turmoil.

You have to know that this involves a business worth billions or even tens of billions. In the past, due to the limitations on the number and cost of hiring magicians, as well as work efficiency, the production capacity of magic machines has been unable to keep up, making it difficult to expand the scale of the factory.

But after the magic oscilloscope was successfully produced, many steps that required the involvement of magicians could be replaced by craftsmen, which suddenly liberated a large amount of productivity constraints.

This is something that the whole world will benefit from.

The productivity of almost all industries can be improved, and the problems that were originally troubling can be easily solved. This is considered to be the practice of what Sophia once declared, to transform the real world we live in.

Yes, the interests of the magician community will be harmed, especially the many lower-level magicians employed by factories.

But this does not mean that we should not do it. If we do not do it, it is impossible to make progress.

Besides, what does the interests of those magicians have to do with him?

I am old now and don't care about these things.

His student Sophia is another extreme example. She is so young that it is almost unbelievable. After this group of people whose interests are damaged die, there will be no more opposition. Young magicians in the future will habitually accept magic oscilloscopes, and people will write the first person who created the magic oscilloscope into the textbooks.

All Baird could do was help Sophia build the magic oscilloscope and add his own name to it...

Haha, I never thought that an old guy like me would have the opportunity to leave my name.

But before that, we must first confirm that this magic oscilloscope does have the functions written on the drawing.

Shaking his head, Baird put down the blueprint and smiled at Sophia: "Leave it to me. I'll let you see my level."

Chapter 245 Money is not a problem

Baird and Tracy are well-versed in materials science.

The amount of magical materials these two had wasted over the past few decades was far greater than anything Sophia had ever seen. With their help, the work on the magic oscilloscope was finally on track; the rest was just a matter of time.

Baird quickly gave a rough plan and listed a long list.

"That's about it," he said. "Some of the materials used in the synthesis process require special environments, so a constant ultra-low temperature magic array is also needed."

"Junior brother, have you forgotten something?" Tracy frowned as she looked at the long list. "This is private research, not a project funded by a college or research institute... Do you know how expensive the items on your list are? Especially the coolant needed to maintain the constant ultra-low temperature magic circle. Just give me some idea!"

Funding issues have always troubled magicians.

For example, many magical experiments require special environments, involving extreme temperatures, pressures, and magical concentrations. Currently, these experiments require ultra-low temperatures, and the price of liquids capable of maintaining these temperatures is around 200 yuan per liter... It might not sound expensive, but this thing is a consumable item, and the amount used is staggering, often hundreds of liters...

"Really? Then let's reduce the purchase amount first."

Baird thought for a moment, crossed out some items on the list, and then said, "By the way, I just checked, and a lot of the equipment in this institute is incomplete and needs to be purchased. I'll make a list for you later."

Tracy's face suddenly darkened. "Do you know how much those magic devices cost?"

Baird frowned this time and retorted, "How can we research without equipment? We can't just do it by hand, right?"

"Are you dumb?"

Tracy rolled her eyes. "Why don't we just go back to the academy and do the research? They're well-equipped. We can save some of the coolant and other materials from other research projects and use them sparingly. That way, we'll only need to pay for the materials... If you continue with your approach, you'll bankrupt your students before we even build the magic oscilloscope."

Baird was speechless and could only nod silently.

"Don't worry, Master's wife."

This time, before Tracy could speak, Sophia spoke up, "The institute still has quite a bit of money in its account. Although some of it can't be used yet, it should be enough to cover the cost of researching the magic oscilloscope."

Hearing that Sophia was funding her own research, Tracy showed an interested expression. "How much funding do you have? You know, those equipment aren't cheap. You can't get them for just a few hundred thousand dollars."

“Is 200 million enough?”

Sophia said uncertainly.

Nowadays, the research institute has made a lot of money from the sales of street lamps and magic-powered machines... But unfortunately, most of the funds are needed to maintain operations and expand reproduction, so there is not much liquid funds that can be freely used.

If that doesn't work, she can always ask Bird to sell some benefits, and asking for more shouldn't be a problem...

The two were stunned for a moment and looked at each other at the same time.

Selling magic machines...is it so profitable?

Although Baird and Tracy were also professors, they were both from the most traditional academic school. Their research funding was entirely dependent on the school and the government. They didn't have much money on hand, and they had never thought about how much money they could make from selling magic machines.

Hearing that the students could easily come up with 200 million, the two of them felt a little shocked by capitalism.

Although they had handled research projects worth millions, Sophia could spend the two million as she pleased...

After a moment's silence, Baird coughed twice and said, "That should be enough... but there's no need for that. You'd better keep the money and use it where it's needed. We can just go back to the academy and do our research."

"It's not easy to earn money on your own, so be frugal." Tracy nodded. "Don't be extravagant like your teacher. He's used to spending other people's money."

Hearing the two of them, Sophia nodded: "Okay, how much does the material cost?"

"About 30 million."

Baird estimated a much lower number, then froze for a moment before finally asking, "Where on earth do you make all that money?"

"It's mainly from improving the magic-powered machines and selling the electric lights that I've made a lot of money."

Sophia paused and pointed upwards...Nowadays, the research institute uses electric lamps. It's not that they can't afford magic lamps, but mainly because things they invented themselves are more emotional to use.

Baird then noticed the large light bulb above his head and looked puzzled: "How can you make so much money just from this?"

In his opinion, the technical content of this thing is pitifully low. If needed, it can be copied at will. How can it make so much money?

“That’s the difference between a lab and a factory.”

Sophia smiled and explained, "A laboratory only needs to achieve its goals, utilizing cutting-edge magical knowledge regardless of cost and difficulty. However, a factory needs to be profitable, requiring extreme cost control and requiring processes that can be replicated on a large scale with minimal effort. These are two completely different research directions..."

She paused and pointed at the wick of the light bulb. "As for simply generating light through electricity, many materials can do that. But finding a wick that lasts long, is inexpensive, and easy to make takes a lot of time. That's the difficulty."

"My current job is to transform the results of the laboratory into practical outputs for the factory, so that more people can experience the changes in their lives brought about by the development of magic..."

"I believe that if the development of magic is merely indulging in its own world without paying attention to the transformation of real-world results, it will inevitably stagnate..."

After hearing this, Baird and Tracy also became thoughtful.

"I used to think your ideas were a bit naive, wanting to see the fruits of magic benefit ordinary people. Now it seems to make sense," he said with emotion. "I didn't expect you to be so mature in your thinking, not just in your research."

Tracy teased, "After all, she's your gifted student."

"That's not true."

Sophia smiled sheepishly after being praised like this: "I only understood these principles after talking to others."

"Who?"

Baird showed an interested expression.

"You met him last time." Sophia paused and smiled faintly: "Bird, he's also my boyfriend."

Chapter 246 Make You Comfortable

There are many ways to fall in love with someone.

Some are chosen for their looks, stunning at first sight, meeting all your expectations; some are chosen for their personalities, with a humorous soul being one in a million; and some are chosen for their knowledge and insights, their perspectives on everything in the world...

Before Sophia and Bird met, their way of communication was through letters, so in this case, there was naturally no question of appearance.

In this case, what makes Sophia fall in love with Bird is Bird's understanding of things and his way of talking. That unique perspective always fascinates her.

To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like a child from the mountains who has never been exposed to the Internet meeting a child in the city. Bird, who comes from another era, has received modern education and his knowledge is far beyond that of this era, and naturally makes people feel a kind of charm.

The depth of thought is fascinating.

After actually meeting him, Sophia was quite satisfied with Bird's appearance.

I really like Bird...

I like it even more now.

The only regret is that for some reason, there are fewer flirtatious comments after we met. Although some of the previous sexual harassment made people blush and shy, it also made their hearts beat fast.

.......

After a trip to the bank, 50 research funds were transferred to Baird's account.

Without staying for long, the two returned to Or City to conduct research on the magic oscilloscope. They came and left in a hurry. Even Bird didn't know that they had been there when they left.

night.

Sophia told Bird about this.

"I see." Bird sat on the chair beside the bed and nodded. "There's nothing wrong with what you did. We probably won't be stationed in Forks permanently from now on, and those magical instruments are indeed inconvenient to carry."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Sophia lay on Bird's bed, nodding her head. "If we can get something for free, we'll do it. We can give some of the money we save to the teachers as hard work pay, but we can't really let them work for free... By the way, how are things going over there?"

She was wearing a white pajamas with blue edges, and her two white and tender feet, which had just been washed with hot water and were slightly pink, were swaying up and down behind her, which was particularly eye-catching.

“‘See You Again’ has achieved some success, and the initial sales are very good.”

Bird tried hard to look away from his feet and replied, "She's very popular right now. I've written a second song for Avril Lavigne. She's been practicing hard lately. When the time is right, I'll record it and hype it up. Once she's famous, she can make some money selling the songs."

"You really never forget to earn two shares of everything." Sophia said happily after hearing this.
