Chapter 11: Canon Zhao Yannian is a technical nerd, and the so-called technical nerd is a skilled otaku.
Before the crossing, Zhao Yannian was tinkering with remote control robots and model airplanes.
After the crossing, he studied alchemy and learned higher scientific knowledge.
Zhao Yannian, who was already able to make power armor, felt that he was now very skilled, and if he wanted to, he could now use alchemy to copy most of the earth's weapons.
Of course, it is limited to mechanics and chemistry about electronics or one of his weaknesses, at present, Zhao Yannian is still only manufacturing diodes by hand, and most of the high-end electronic components are still difficult for Zhao Yannian to complete by hand, and nano-level CPUs are even more unattainable for him.
The tablet computer that Zhao Yannian made up is similar to an eight-bit computer in terms of computing power, but fortunately, Artificial Soul No. 1 is much stronger than Xiaobawang in terms of comprehension, so it is still very comfortable to use to make an e-book.
After talking about technology, let's talk about otaku, as a heavy otaku, Zhao Yannian knows most of the popular things on the Internet well, watch animation, read novels, watch barrage and pop posts at AB station, Zhao Yannian spent most of his day on the Internet in his previous life, but after arriving in the other world, Zhao Yannian felt that if he wanted to live, he had to integrate into this world, so he forced himself not to recall those strange hobbies in his previous life.
And with Zhao Yannian becoming an earl and having a department of his own - War Weapons Research, the abbreviation of the War Arms Research Institute.
He felt much safer, and began to subconsciously relapse into his home.
In his previous life, Zhao Yannian didn't have much musical talent, and he couldn't even memorize the scales, but this did not prevent him from loving music.
Pop music, classical music, jazz and rock music developed until finally it became otaku music.
Music seems to have accompanied everyone in that world since childhood.
Even if he is a migrant worker, he can turn on his mobile phone and go to the moon.
But in this world, Zhao Yannian rarely heard others sing, and the only few times he saw bards in the tavern.
It seems that music is more of a thing that can be enjoyed by the upper class in this world, while although there are occasional minor ballads among the common people at the bottom, they cannot be passed on due to the limitations of knowledge and communication ability.
Zhao Yannian doesn't have any idea of spreading music for the benefit of mankind, but the emptiness in his ears for a long time still makes otaku feel lonely.
In his underground laboratory, Zhao Yannian secretly made a lot of musical instruments, but because he didn't want to attract attention, he kept them hidden from others.
And today the otaku decided to make himself strong.
"I'm going to let those turtles know what music is."
Zhao Yannian said a little excitedly at Erica.
The show was scheduled to start at 8 p.m., and with five minutes to go, Sir Laurent arrived in the concert hall, where dozens of music-loving aristocrats and musicians stood up to pay their respects to the old artists.
As everyone arrived, the doors of the concert hall closed, and as the curtain opened on the stage, a black-haired young man in an aristocratic dress stood in the middle of the stage.
A huge musical instrument with only three legs is placed in the middle of the stage.
The indescribably oddly shaped instrument has a long chair on one side.
It is supposed to be where the player manipulates the instrument, and the nobles near the side of the chair can see a row of black and white squares on the edge of the instrument.
This is indeed an instrument that has never appeared in the music history of the Longmian Continent.
Whether it was its sheer size, or the metal rod holding the lid up like an open chest, or the black-and-white squares, even the most senior Sir Laurent could not tell the reason for the instrument.
The man on the stage should be the Earl of Blake Rodnick, the Earl looks very young, only in his early 20s, very tall, but he should not be a warrior, he looks a little slender and thin, and the black-rimmed glasses give people a sense of wisdom.
If such a young man appeared in school and library with a book in his hand, it would definitely not look abrupt.
Fortunately, Zhao Yannian did not intend to give the nobles time to taste, so he cleared his throat and said, "Welcome all the masters to come here and appreciate the first performance of this musical instrument I made."
I'm sure he won't let you down. ” Sitting down in front of the piano, Zhao Yannian struck all the keys one by one with one finger, and when the low left of the 88 piano keys came to mind, the nobles all looked at Zhao Yannian's fingers, and the sound of a piano from low to sharp sounded.
Everyone realizes that this is definitely a great instrument.
Because there is still no instrument in this world where the shamisen drum and horn are the main instruments, there is no instrument that can express so many sounds.
However, the more voices that can be expressed, the more skill the player needs to use the instrument.
"As you can hear, the instrument I named the piano has 88 keys, and it can express almost all the ranges we need to play on a regular basis, and unlike the pentatonic scale that we usually use today, I have divided the scale into 7 scales, which can make the music more expressive and varied.
Please listen to my performance to find out. ” If there's one piece of music in the world that's the most versatile, it's Canon.
Canon originally refers to a musical composition technique, which originally meant canon, religious law, rule or scripture, and musically refers to a writing technique of polyphonic music, and the music written in the canon technique is called "canon song".
The song we often hear is a type of canon song.
Canon also refers to musical compositions created in this way, such as Bach's Five Canon Variations.
Among all the canon songs in history, Pahaibel's "Canon" is the most famous, and most people refer to this song when they talk about "Canon".
Zhao Yannian doesn't have much research on classical music, but he often hears Pahaibel's "Canon" at a video station he often visits.
As the world's most famous classical piano music, Zhao Yannian learned to play this piece for the first time after making a piano in another world.
Beautiful, gentle, stream-like notes flowed from the piano, and all the nobles were attracted by this beautiful melody and closed their eyes to listen to the sound of heaven.
After a long time, Zhao Yannian stopped playing and looked at the audience, where all the nobles and artists closed their eyes and smiled, as if the music had not stopped.
Zhao Yannian didn't bother, and waited for 10 minutes before a nobleman woke up and began to applaud like crazy.

Subsequently, more and more nobles were awakened by the applause and began to join the applause.
After a few more minutes, the applause stopped, and the nobles began to express their opinions.
"Oh my God, what beautiful music this is."
"Lord Earl, are you a descendant of the High Elves?"
"Are you insulting the Earl!
It's not like you've never seen a High Elf instrument, which one can play such magical music!
” People under the stands began to argue.
Zhao Yannian sat there and watched with a smile.
At this moment, an old voice sounded.
"Be quiet!"
"Ah, it's Sir Laurent."
"Don't be noisy anymore, let's hear Jazz's opinion."
Everyone quickly fell silent.
The old knight glanced at the nobles, who were still a little excited.
Turning his head to Zhao Yannian, he bowed and said, "Your Excellency, it's an honor that I can hear such perfect music today. ” "I'm honored to be here for you too."
Zhao Yannian politely replied.
"Listening to the Earl's performance, I realized that the art we have pursued all these years may be nothing more than a child's sandcastle at the water's edge, which disappears as soon as the waves come.
And it cannot be immortal like the stars forever.
The old knight said with some sighs.
"Your Earl, by this piece of your music alone, you are worthy of being called a master of the arts.
I would like to ask you to write down your views on music and have us lowly people spread it to you throughout the human world.
So that more people can understand the greatness of music. ” "This old gentleman, you really have a good reputation.
I'm not against spreading music knowledge, but I have a somewhat arrogant idea that needs everyone's support.
Zhao Yannian said, "It's a pass here.
"Oh, can you tell us what you think?"
The old knight asked.
"I want to build a school for the common people, a school that teaches the art of etiquette to the common people."
Zhao Yannian replied.
"A school for civilians?"
"What do you teach civilians for?"
The audience began to talk again.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
The aristocrats and artists looked up at Zhao Yannian.
"I know that you may not understand much about private schools, in fact, what I want to say is that a musician does not need strong force, he does not need noble blood, a person who loves music, he only needs to have a music-loving soul is enough.
The cost of my piano is 10,000 gold coins, and the sound it plays may be natural or noise.
It's all up to him who plays it.
Zhao Yannian struck a few notes on the piano at random.
The inexplicable combination of notes is not beautiful, but rather a little noisy.
"Therefore, I think that the more people who know about music, the better the music in this world will be.
And we're going to hear more of it."
The nobles all fell silent and began to bow their heads and think about Zhao Yannian's words.
