"He's still the head of intelligence," a political official also shook his head, "It's better for us to catch a goose casually than this kind of person."

"Why a goose?"

"I don't know, this is what the lord said - he said that the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau is better than the goose."

Chapter 0413 Beyond History

As the most important step in the process of reshaping the order in the southern border, the administrative construction and renovation project of Hosman Territory (Horsman City) is the top priority of Gao Wen's attention. Even with the extremely busy affairs in the territory, He will also prioritize intelligence in this regard.

And Heidi's carefully selected and rigorously tested apprentices did not disappoint Gawain.

In the study of the lord's mansion, Hetty, who came to report early in the morning, brought the information that the courier had just delivered to the territory: "Ancestor, this is the report from the Hussman - the one named Daedalus The young people in the town have already begun to count the land and population in the Hossman area. At the same time, the working group has controlled the remaining knights and retainers in the Hossman area, and has begun to receive the estate that originally belonged to the Earl of Hossman. Progressing well."

"A capable young man... I remember you had high hopes for him," Gawain took the report handed over by Hetty, nodded while looking at it, "Well... well organized, it seems that he didn't make any rash mistakes .”

"He is a Hosman, and he understands the situation in his hometown—this is one of the reasons why he was selected in the first place," Hetty said with a hint of pride on his face, because almost all the younger generation of political officials in the government affairs office can Said that she was the apprentice brought out by herself, Daedalus's success also means her success, but apart from being proud, she was also faintly worried, "It's just that the situation there is very complicated, the Housman family is an ancient and powerful family. Their family has far-reaching influence on the territory, even locals who understand the situation are difficult to get in, and to be honest... Although he is doing well now, I am really not sure how long he will be able to do so."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "You still seem a little worried?"

"A family that has ruled for hundreds of years has a profound impact on their territory. Their rule has become a part of the local people's life. Even if the lord is gone, the 'inertia' left by the old lord still remains everywhere among the people... It was very difficult for us to transform the Kant Territory back then, but now Daedalus and the others have to face an earldom..."

Gao Wen was very indifferent to this, he said unhurriedly: "The traditional aristocratic rule has almost no order at all. In my opinion, their 'management' of the territory is tantamount to no management. It is indeed difficult to establish the initial order in the absence of order, but on the other hand—it is precisely because there is no order in the first place, so even a small improvement will have a huge impact on the entire territory. Yes, and these great impetuses will easily inspire confidence among the wiser members of the populace into supporting the new decree.

"The new administrative officials in the Hosman area are currently at this stage. If they can effectively control the situation at the beginning of the implementation of the new decree and allow people with prestige in the territory to actively support it, then the subsequent construction will enter a stage. A virtuous circle..."

Seeing Hetty's pensive look, Gao Wen further said: "You can remind the team of political officials over there to find ways to persuade, agitate and even buy a group of 'middle-level people' who are more influential in the territory. , such as big businessmen, famous scholars, and other respected people, let them benefit from the new decree, and serve as an example to further promote the decree. In addition, you can also set a lot of models among ordinary people, so that they can actively respond to Cecil's law and obey the law. Those who manage become prosperous and wealthy people. The people are very practical, and no matter how many notices you put up in the square, it is better to let them see for themselves the benefits that can be expected.”

"I understand..." Hetty nodded happily, "Ancestor, thank you for your reminder."

Gao Wen nodded, but he didn't think it was a big deal to mention these points - he just read some books in his previous life, and he watched countless live documentaries on the evolution of civilization when he was a satellite master, so he could say it casually. Some empirical things, but these things are not very profound. With Hetty's ingenuity and the experience she accumulated in the process of transforming Kant's collar, she can come up with similar things after thinking about it for a day or two after returning home.

Even if she didn't think about it, those political officials who were sent to the Hosman area would probably be able to think of a solution if they had to study the practical problems in this area—since they could be selected, they must have People in this world never lack wisdom, they just lack some experience.

"Actually, compared to the difficulties and troubles, the poor 'government' ability of the traditional nobles also brought us a lot of convenience," Gawain shook his head suddenly when he had almost read the report, and then muttered in a low voice. One sentence, "It's a pity that it's a double-edged sword..."

"Convenience?" Hetty couldn't keep up with the old ancestor's rhythm all of a sudden—in fact, she often couldn't keep up with the old ancestor's rhythm, she was used to it, "What aspect do you say?"

"Cohesion and self-identity. I don't know if you have noticed that when the people in the newly received territories accept the transformation of Cecil's order, what they have always resisted is the new decree, not the new ruler."

Hetty frowned slightly, she still didn't seem to grasp the gist of Gawain's words.

Gao Wen was not surprised by this, but patiently explained: "Traditional aristocrats hardly consider the feelings of the people in the territory when they govern the territory, nor do they consider the development of culture, economy, law, etc. in the territory. In fact, the only thing they consider is taxation. As far as the territory is concerned, the lord is just the biggest landlord, so the subjects who are "tenant farmers" never have a sense of belonging and identity for this kind of rule, and because the lord Government decrees are often full of mistakes, omissions and contradictions, and the lives of the people lack stability. Therefore, in the land of traditional aristocrats, the people will hardly have cohesion at all.

"The people who grew up in this 'ruling' structure, lack the understanding of the nation and the state... Well, this concept may be too abstract to explain to you now, you can simply understand that they don't care who is their leader The lords don't care where the lord comes from, they don't even care whether the country exists, they don't care whether the king is an Ansu or a Typhon.

"And in this kind of 'don't care' situation, we have avoided the biggest trouble when we took over the southern border—even if we defeated more than 40 nobles, the people who were ruled by those nobles had almost no regard for me, the new lord. Resisting...they seem to have accepted the fact that the southern border has changed hands."

Hetty understood what Gawain said up to this point, but she seemed a little confused: "Isn't this normal? And it's because of this that we can take over the southern border..."

Gao Wen shook his head: "That being said, if one day other enemies come to invade the southern border, it would be bad if our people are so indifferent."

Hetty's expression became subtle, and after a while, she tentatively said: "So, you mean to make the people more loyal to the lord..."

"No, that's not enough," Gao Wen continued shaking his head, "The king is not eternal, and even the most talented and ambitious are not enough. Similarly, it is meaningless for the people to be loyal to one family and one bloodline. We should create a more permanent, It is more tenacious, something that people can spontaneously identify with and defend..."

Hetty looked at Gawain in a daze. She seemed to see a trace of strange enthusiasm from her ancestor's face, but she rarely saw this kind of emotion from the other party. Her ancestors might have had some far-sighted and brilliant ideas, and she could even faintly feel the thread of this idea—she couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any new plans?"

Gawain was not overly immersed in his emotions. After Hetty spoke, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "This cannot be achieved overnight, or even in one or two generations...but maybe we should do it for posterity leave something..."

Hetty blinked as soon as she heard "children and grandchildren": "What are you going to leave Rebecca?"

"Ahem...I didn't mean that...you took away all the emotions I've been brewing up," Gawain coughed in embarrassment, and then waved his hands, "I mean, we should let 'Cecil The word 'people' transcends the meaning of a territory, making it a greater concept..."

Speaking of this, Gao Wen suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Speaking of which, I have recently started to hear a popular saying - 'become an honorable citizen of Cecil', have you heard of it?"

"Yes, I have heard about it," Hetty nodded, "This is what Bachelor Godwin Orlando said in a review article two issues ago. At that time, the extra issue announced the rout of the noble coalition forces, and the Cecil Legion After the news of the complete victory, Mr. Godwin suggested that the noble coalition forces should tie themselves up as soon as possible, so that they could accept Cecil's education and transformation as soon as possible, "become a glorious citizen of Cecil" - this sentence became popular later Yes, the people in the territory seem to be very proud of this sentence, and those who are responsible for receiving prisoners and assigning labor reform tasks will also say this sentence to them when they send the noble coalition prisoners of war to the labor camp... It all becomes It's an unwritten rule."

"That scholar is a talent... It was the right thing to do the hard work to stay at the beginning," Gao Wen couldn't help but sighed, and then he was a little relieved, "This is a good start... I want to have a good talk with Godwin when I have a chance. Talk, we should make good use of the propaganda and guidance function of newspapers.”

Afterwards, Gao Wen asked Heidi about the recent situation of various pioneering points along the Baishui River, and after learning everything, he let out a long breath: "Very good, although it is not easy, but everything is in accordance with our The expected direction of development..."

After saying this, he couldn't help but look at Heidi more: "Speaking of which, you haven't rested for a long time... You can take a little leisure time in the work of the government affairs department at present, you can pick a day for it Take a vacation for yourself... By the way, you didn't draw the dark circles this time, did you?"

Hetty blushed immediately: "...Ancestor, have you not forgotten?"

"I'm so impressed, I didn't expect you to be able to do this kind of operation... I always thought that only Amber could do this kind of thing."

Hetty immediately became even more embarrassed, but before she could speak, the window of the study was suddenly opened.

A crackling sound came from outside the window.

Gawain looked back in surprise, only to find that it wasn't Amber that appeared outside the window, but Kamel - this arcane master was floating outside the window, his whole body was glowing with azure blue light, and he seemed to be younger than usual. Swelled up a little.

Gao Wen was dumbfounded: "I didn't expect Kamel to have such an operation... I always thought that only Amber could do this kind of thing..."

Then he heard Kamel say excitedly outside the window: "Lord, I have a major achievement!"

Chapter 0414 Epoch-making Progress

To be honest, although it was surprising to see Kamel appearing outside the window sill, Gawain guessed that the achievements of this ancient great magister were probably not trivial after seeing the azure blue arcane light of the other party. Otherwise, he wouldn't lose his composure like this: Kamel has always been a very stable person, but only when it comes to his research projects, he seems to be a different person. The technical staff of the research institute discussed Kamel's status at work, and sometimes encountered inspiring results. The ancient magister would even change color like a neon light...

Of course, the technicians in the research institute don’t know what neon lights are. When they first saw Kamel playing lighting effects in the laboratory, they thought that the master was going to blow himself up...

"What did you come up with?" Gawain didn't talk to Kamel directly, and directly communicated with him in front of the window sill, "Have you finally summed up the changing law of the magic field?"

"Ah... that's not true," the bright blue arcane light on Kamel's body flickered for a moment, and then brightened again, "but it's still an exciting achievement—please come with me, The equipment is still in the research institute for the time being."

Gawain saw that Kamel wanted to show off, but he readily cooperated, and even turned around and called Heidi: "You come too, let's see what Kamel has done."

The three of them left the lord's mansion immediately, and came to a laboratory located in the Institute of Magic Technology.

Kamel was originally a member of the Rune Research Institute, but this ancient magister who was knowledgeable and participated in the rebellious plan was not only powerful in theoretical knowledge, but also had great talents in various practical technical fields. After quickly familiarizing himself with various technologies of the magic industry, he also established a laboratory specializing in various practical technologies under his leadership in the magic technology research institute specializing in the field of practical technology, and transferred some of the projects to here we go.

In this neat and bright laboratory, Gao Wen saw a lot of things that were in the state of semi-finished products or dismantled - including the magic obelisk, the orbital acceleration device, the new generation of magic capacitors, etc. were placed in different categories. In various test areas, but these are obviously not the exciting results that Kamel said, that result is placed on a platform in the center of the laboratory, and its appearance...is unprecedented.

Gawain saw a triangular base—this shape was a common design used by many magic devices in the ancient Gondor Empire, and Kamel was also used to using this style in many of his creations—the triangular base used a common It is made of copper matrix, which may also be mixed with a small amount of crystal dust or crystal blue steel, which makes it present a beautiful and mysterious blue-purple color. In the middle of the base, the main body of the device is raised upwards, and a piece of Crystal clear man-made crystal, the texture of the crystal is very pure, but the color is almost transparent, which shows that it is not an overly expensive magic material, but an ordinary medium for releasing magic power—the real mystery of the device , most of which are still hidden in the triangular base.

The volume of the whole device is not large, and the longest side is only about half a meter. The design of the ancient Gondor Empire makes it present a perfect symmetry effect, coupled with the raised metal support in the center and the crystal, it is placed on the experimental table It's even more like a decorative work of art when it's on.

"Now we can reveal the secret," Gao Wen looked at the things on the test bench with great interest, and vaguely guessed its possible function, "What is this?"

"Wait a minute, I'll activate it right now - if the other device is working properly, you should see soon..."

As Kamel spoke, he floated to the device and activated the base of the device with a small spark of energy.

Accompanied by an extremely slight humming sound, the beautiful device started to operate, the runes on its base lit up one after another, and the crystal inlaid in the center was filled with a slight white light. After a while, the air above the crystal began to glow. Distorted and shaken, and amidst the shake, a blurry image appeared in front of Gao Wen.

Gawain's breathing couldn't help but quicken—even Hetty, who was next to him, couldn't help but take a light breath.

The picture finally stabilized. Gao Wen saw his always energetic little granddaughter dangling her head in the frame, as if she was operating or observing something around a certain device on the opposite side. She fiddled with it for a few seconds, Only then did he seem to see Gao Wen suddenly, and immediately waved his hands vigorously towards this side excitedly. A clear and cheerful voice came from the base of the device: "Master Ancestor, Ancestor!! Look at what we have made!!"

"I saw it, I saw it!" Gawain said loudly excitedly—in order to maintain the majesty of his ancestors, he seldom had such obvious and excited moments of emotional changes, but at this moment he really He couldn't control himself a bit, because he knew too well what the thing Kamel and Rebecca made meant, "You finally succeeded! Rebecca, where are you now? How far is the communication distance?"

"I'm in the North Shore Development Area!" Rebecca said cheerfully, then moved away, and Gao Wen immediately saw a large expanse of open scenery outside the window in the projection, which was the newly leveled foundation of the North Shore Development Area, "This The sides are still very clear! Can you see me clearly? Can you see me? I can see you clearly! Ah! I can see Aunt Hetty too! Auntie, you really look like the dark circles under your eyes today!"

"Calm down, this child has always been like this," Gao Wen casually pressed Heidi's shoulder, "Your dark circles under your eyes are really painted?"

"Of course not!" Hetty was a little bit crazy. She could never understand how Rebecca could turn the topic to a certain whimsical direction under any circumstances, even if she brought up that silly roe deer. Can't understand, "I'm really... But you guys actually made this thing out!"

Although her mind was full of thoughts of beating Rebecca, the significant device in front of her finally caught Hetty's attention. She circled around the device several times, trying to judge the magical principle and manufacturing of the device. Difficulty, but in fact she already knew the answer: If this device was made by relying on the traditional communication spell model, then Kamel would not need to report it to Gawain as a great achievement!

In this world where extraordinary power exists, long-distance communication is not unheard of. It is just that the spell level is high and the cost is extremely high. It is precisely because of these two limitations that its application is always limited to a very narrow range. For example, the one or two emergency communication channels held by the monarchs of various countries, or the communication needs of some middle and high-level professionals in a small area, the only one on the mainland that can be called practical value, and it is also in the large The only long-distance communication channel for large-scale application is the magnificent wall built by the elves—but that wall was built 700 years ago by the intelligent races of almost half of the continent, and its cost is so high that even 700 years later However, each country still hasn't been able to save enough vitality to rebuild one, and the communication range of the magnificent wall is only a circle around the wall...

Kamel must know these facts, so the only reason why he showed this result so excitedly is that he has successfully broken through the limitations of traditional communication spells or communication devices as Gawain requested.

And when Hetty's thoughts were running one after another, Gao Wen also had a huge emotion in his heart. The first thing he was surprised was that Kamel actually made a video intercom level thing out...

His expected goal at the beginning was just an audio call, or even send a telegram to everyone who is not good enough... But he was shocked by the degree to which this thing was in place in one step.

However, after a brief astonishment, he woke up and realized that this is normal—in this world, sound wave spells that reproduce sounds and illusion spells that are almost holographic projections are actually not complicated. The magic circle is only at the level of low-level advanced and intermediate-level elementary. After Jenny completed the reconstruction and simplification of most of the basic rune groups, the magic circles of these two spells have even become low-level and intermediate. ...

The really difficult thing is always just the one of "making the signal stable and long-distance transmission".

Due to the special properties of magic power, it can only be transmitted through the symbols on the magic circle, and cannot be transmitted through "wires". Therefore, it is extremely difficult to realize wired communication in this world, while wireless communication has always faced the magic circle of communication spells. The model cannot be simplified and there are too many technical black boxes. It can be said that in this world with strange physical rules, the difficulty of achieving the goal of "stable and long-distance transmission of signals" is much higher than how to convert signals into sound and images. .

This is this world, a world that always brings surprises to Gao Wen, but also makes him at a loss from time to time - the workers in the territory have used laser torches and anti-gravity hoists, and he can't make a working one. Steam cylinders come.

"Very good... very good..." After the surprise in his heart subsided, Gao Wen couldn't help repeating the word over and over again with a particularly happy smile, "Traffic and communication... half of the solution, half of the solution... "

"What?" Kamel asked curiously beside him—he is a pure researcher, and he has been completely immersed in his project recently, and he doesn't know anything about government affairs.

"No, it's nothing." Gawain waved his hand, then looked at the device, "Is it made with basic runes?"

"90.00% of the basic rune group, but some more complicated rune structures are used to realize the function of controlling the frequency of magic vibration," Kamel explained, "This part of the rune structure needs to be engraved on the silver substrate Fortunately, the quantity is very small, and we recently discovered that the alloy made of silver and crystal blue steel also has good magic power stability. If this alloy is used to make the substrate, the cost will be controlled within the expected range."

"Is it convenient for ordinary people to use?" Gao Wen asked again.

"It's just as convenient as other magical machines on the territory - just control the rune trigger."

Gao Wen continued: "Very well, I still have a question..."

Kamel floated slightly into the air, his tone was full of confidence, and his whole body exuded a slow flash of restraint and pride: "Of course, I'm ready to answer."

Chapter 0415 Technical Issues Behind the Communicator

A cheap, convenient, stable and reliable way of long-distance communication, its role in the process of social development is beyond doubt, especially at the current stage when Gao Wen destroyed the old aristocratic forces in the southern border and began to integrate and build a new southern border , its significance is even as great as those guns that can destroy the old aristocracy.

There are many factors restricting social development. For Cecil Territory, which has a rapidly expanding territory and a rapidly increasing population, the two biggest challenges in maintaining the dominance of the southern border at this stage are transportation and communication, and the ability to transport materials and personnel within the territory. , construction capacity, information flow capacity, the response speed of the entire ruling structure, and the effectiveness of the response... These almost all depend on the development of transportation and communication technology.

Excellent transportation can enable the rapid flow of materials and personnel within the territory, production and construction will be guaranteed, commerce will be developed, and the connection between various regions will become closer and not loose. When an emergency occurs, It is also a prerequisite to ensure that the army can quickly rush to the theater, and excellent communications allow the government affairs department to understand the situation throughout the territory, ensure timely and smooth intelligence in various regions, and allow the government affairs department to respond to various emergencies as quickly as possible. Response - and to achieve these two points, we must rely on the development of technology and productivity.

Ansu's aristocratic enfeoffment system seemed backward to Gao Wen, but it was the inevitable result of limited transportation and communication technology. The ruler could not control the situation outside the territory in time, nor could he send troops to the area in the shortest time. Outside of this limit area, at the same time, it is difficult to transport the supplies of a city to other cities, and it is also doomed to the situation where the nobles divide their territories and regard the city as a state. In fact, until Ansu 557, the nobles and scholars still followed the following wise words:

The area a lord can rule effectively is as far as his knights can reach in three days and nights, and the area he can rule absolutely is as far as his mage advisors can see with eagle eye.

This ancient saying has been popular in Ansu for hundreds of years, and it didn't change until the summer of 557: a noble mage named "Delta" of the Holy Spirit Plain invented a crystal device that can amplify the eagle eye spell, and installed it in the The top of his mage tower, thus expanding the "absolute rule area" of the lord.

In the following ten years, under the suggestion of this visionary noble mage, the royal family of Ansu started construction in 567 with the city of Saint-Sunil as the center point. The "Kingdom Avenue" (also known as the Cross Artery) within the territory greatly strengthened the royal family's control over the country, and the upper-class nobles from all over the country followed suit and built a series of roads within their respective territories. Coupled with the successful cultivation of the new species of "White Feather" Griffon and the emergence of the "Messenger Pass Act" at the same time, the transportation and communication in Ansu's country have greatly developed, and the nobles' ability to rule the territory and the royal family over the country has moved forward. A big step.

However, in these developments, the centuries-old aristocratic enfeoffment system has shown its strong inertia. Except for the Kingdom Avenue, almost all road construction in Ansu is still fragmented by enfeoffment territories. Whether it is road standards or carriage and horse specifications, there is almost no continuity between different aristocratic territories. Griffon messengers are also regarded as a symbol of noble glory (plus the cost cannot be reduced), and it has never been able to Developed to the popularization stage, enfeoffment nobles continued their pride, restraint, self-esteem and self-enclosure. On the one hand, they enjoyed the benefits brought about by the strengthening of dominance in the territory, but on the other hand, they instinctively refused these things to continue to develop and affect them. Absolute authority over its own fiefdom.

Originally, if there was enough time, the day of breaking the situation would appear sooner or later. The old nobles could not stop the society from moving forward forever, but it is a pity that Ansu ushered in civil strife before the Kingdom Avenue could be repaired to the border.

So today's Ansu still has to rely on the way the king canonize vassals and vassals canonize vassals to maintain order. Even due to the huge loss of Ansu's national strength due to the civil strife in the foggy moon, the remaining nobles in various places are almost unable to maintain the roads, " The number of "White Feather" Griffins also dropped sharply during the war, and Ansu's traffic and communication conditions almost degenerated to the state before 557.

The worse situation is yet to come: the nobles and the royal family of the Second Dynasty who have experienced the Brumaire Civil War still remember the horror of the coalition forces from all over the country attacking the Holy Spirit Plain through the Kingdom Avenue. The road to the castle has become a hidden danger for the lords to sleep and eat. Moreover, due to the population decline and the chaotic situation after the war, the nobles had to retreat to protect themselves. This passive and degenerate attitude has even continued to this day.

It wasn't until 735 in Ansu that an ancestor emerged from the coffin, with the authority of the founder of the country, with millions of years of experience from two people and one star, and with disdain for the traditional aristocratic system Gu, started to build his Cecil new situation in the most unreasonable way.

Looking at the communication device in front of him, which was still in the verification stage, what Gao Wen thought was not only the communication device, but also the well-ordered roads connecting all parts of the southern border, and even all parts of Ansu.

For transportation and communication, the former has cement and all kinds of magical machines that are developing rapidly, and the latter, he has finally seen the results of Kamel and Rebecca's efforts so far, these two problems that plagued all rulers Problems seem to have solutions.

"Currently this communication device uses a mixed rune grouping—most of its rune groups come from the technology of the Eternal Sleeper, but it still uses the traditional method of communication spells for the generation and control of the magic shock," said Card Meier was floating next to the communication device, explaining some technical details of the device to Gawain, "Unfortunately, we still haven't been able to understand how the Eternal Sleeper network transmits signals in the 'primordial magic field' of nature, So this device can currently only operate within the coverage of a standard magic field."

Gao Wen was very interested in these technical details: "Standard magic field... within the range of the magic obelisk?"

"Yes, the standard magic field produced by the magic obelisk is like the 'lake' you described to it. The ripples generated by the communicator spread in the magic field, from a magic obelisk Arrived at another obelisk, so we can call this communication method 'magic network communication'," Kamel explained, "I have found a magic obelisk as a 'relay' to continuously transmit The signal scheme has achieved success in a small area, but the specific effect after the transmission distance increases remains to be verified..."

"How are these communication devices paired or identified?" Gao Wen asked again, "If I have a hundred of these devices distributed in various places, how can I use one of them to accurately contact another specific device?"

This is also a question that Gawain is very curious about—the communicator made by Kamel is quite different from traditional communication spells or the magnificent wall of elves. It is a combination of communication and eternal sleeper technology, and its communication The medium is the "standard magic field" produced by the magic obelisk, which is still considered to be a high-tech technology. From the perspective of working principle, it is more like an indiscriminate "broadcasting" device. Broadcast your own signal so that all similar devices can listen to it. If there is no matching pairing or identification method, all signals will be transmitted publicly without encryption, and the entire magic field will become an extremely chaotic mess. It is very difficult to realize the "communication network" function required by Gao Wen.

"We refer to the technology of the ancient Gondor period." Kamel seemed to have expected Gawain's question in this regard, and he immediately gave an answer, and his tone was quite proud, "You are also from the Empire, you should know the technology of the year. The Imperial Information Network—it has been in operation since the Starfire Era."

Gao Wen nodded, talking about the knowledge he had just retrieved from memory: "Oh, I do know this. When I was a knight apprentice, I often listened to the opera broadcast from the Imperial Capital at my mentor's house. I remembered that the device not only You can receive broadcasts, and you can also talk to people far away in the imperial capital. At that time, only aristocrats or big businessmen would have a 'dark blue terminal', but compared to this era, that is already a remarkable penetration rate."

Before Kamel opened his mouth, he heard Rebecca's voice coming from the communicator (she hadn't hung up, and was still making funny faces while Gawain was chatting with Kamel): "Wow! So that year Is this communication device so popular?"

"Comparing the number of communication techniques and communication devices now... the communication technology of the Gondorians back then was indeed a miracle," Kamel sighed softly, and then continued, "I added a 'resonance' to this device. structure, only signals that meet the resonance conditions can be transmitted between devices. In order to achieve this resonance, I used four basic runes of the wind system and four basic runes with no attributes, and combined these eight runes Randomly arranged on a substrate with three times three empty slots after chaos, they do not form any rune knots, and have no magical effects, but according to the principle of mana resonance, when another rune group arranged in the same pattern participates When the magic power vibrates, this 'resonance substrate' will produce the same reaction..."

At this point, Carmel paused, as if to give Gawain and Heidi some time to calculate and think, and then continued: "The eight kinds of runes have a large number of arrangements and combinations on the three-by-three substrate, and When using a device to call another device, you only need to use a rune trigger group similar to the 'experimental palette' to easily combine the rune structure of the call target. I just used my own magic power This process is controlled, if ordinary people use it, the rune trigger group is here, and the side of the device is here..."

"Dialing, we can call this process dialing," Gawain felt that Kamel used a lot of ancient Gondor nouns and modern magic terms to explain this simple process is too complicated, so he said simply, "In addition, eight runes we can number them from zero to seven, so that each communicator has a unique string of numbers to identify it, and the person using the communicator can 'dial' more easily. After all , memorizing numbers is easier than memorizing runes, and numbers are more suitable for registration in tables than runes."

Whether it's Kamel, Hetty, or Rebecca on the opposite side of the communicator, everyone seems to be very impressed with Gawain's "as soon as something new comes out, he immediately acts as if he has been using it for many years". Behaving as usual, everyone accepted this suggestion indifferently.

To be honest, Gao Wen was not used to it...

Chapter 0416 The person who went to the unknown

To be honest, the communication device created by Kamel and Rebecca and the current level of completion of this device have greatly exceeded Gao Wen's expectations - not only the technical level, but also the design concept.

At the technical level, Gao Wen can already understand. After all, this world has its own unique technical route. Some things that seem unbelievable to him may be just a small trick in the field of magic, and there are ready-made research results of the Eternal Sleeper. Basically, the "advanced functions" of communication devices are actually not difficult to imagine. What really surprised Gao Wen was Kamel's mature design concepts.

This device is not only designed to recognize each other in the network, but also can perform relatively simple "dial-up". It also has the functions of receiving broadcasts and communicating with distant places. In addition to the plan of using the magic obelisk as a "relay station", this relay station must already include a series of complex functions such as information forwarding, gain, channel management, etc. - all these things, Gawain did not give a hint made under the circumstances.

He couldn't help but praise Kamel's design, and praised him for being able to realize these incredible functions, but he didn't expect that after hearing his praise, Kamel showed disapproval: "Aren't these the most basic requirements for remote communication? "
