Chapter 416 The Person Who Went to the Unknown

?

To be honest, the communication device created by Carmel and Rebecca and the current level of completion of this device have greatly exceeded Gawain's expectations - not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of 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 incredible to him may be just a little 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 Gawain was the mature design concepts of Kamel.

This device not only has the design of mutual recognition in the network, but also can perform a relatively simple "dial-up". It also has the functions of receiving broadcasts and communicating with distant places. In order to ensure its long-distance communication capabilities, Kamel even designed a In order to use 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 and so on - all of these things, all of which were not prompted by Gawain. made under the circumstances.

He couldn't help praising Carmel's design and his ability to achieve these incredible functions, but he didn't expect that after hearing his praise, Carmel behaved very disapprovingly: "Aren't these the most basic requirements for long-distance communication? "

Gawain was stunned for a moment, and after seeing Carmel's rightful attitude, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into another misunderstanding:

He underestimated the technological level of this world, and at the same time he forgot the technological level of the Gondor Empire back then.

The bottom society of this world may be primitive and backward, and the average level of development may not be high, but its top level of technology and the level of technology it has had in history... have never fallen behind.

A convenient, cheap, stable and reliable general-purpose communicator may be a brand new thing in this world, but the communicator itself is not, nor is the communication technology.

As early as the Gondor period, human beings have established a general information network throughout the entire empire. Even today, the elves' star temple still provides convenient broadcasting services for the entire silver empire, even the seemingly backward and dark contemporary Anzu, It is not without advanced holographic video calling technology in a very small range - is it not the communication technique of the court mage?

For those who have been exposed to these technological vertices, there is no question of "is there" for some sophisticated things, but only a question of "is it broad or not".

Of course, Carmel will have a mature design concept - because he has used the same advanced things in the past.

Gawain glanced at the magic master quietly, and suddenly realized something in his heart: Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, everything Cecil has experienced is a rise, but in the eyes of Carmel, what has happened so far on this land. Most of the technological achievements that have emerged can only be regarded as "renaissance".

The revival of human civilization.

Of course, the so-called "mature design concept" is only relative to this era. As a new thing, the communicator still has huge room for improvement in Gao Wen's view - how to encrypt information, how to prevent the communication network from being eavesdropped or hostile How to ensure that the network is controllable, when the number of communication terminals connected to the network becomes quite large, will the network be stable, how to solve the problem of insufficient "numbers" after too many communication terminals, and how to calculate the magic-based communication technology" Bandwidth", or what is limiting its "bandwidth"... All these details will need to be solved slowly in the future.

Gawain knew that Carmel and Rebecca must not have thought about these problems, because a large part of these problems will only be exposed after the network scale is large enough and the destruction technology for the network is sufficiently developed, and even if It was the Gondor Empire back then. When the Empire Information Network was the largest, it couldn't compare with any national network on earth. Just like the Eternal Sleepers who have just built the Mind Network, they never thought that someone would use the back door of the brain computer to invade them. "Server", it is impossible for Kamel to imagine how complex a network containing hundreds of millions of information nodes will be, and what kind of sophisticated design it requires.

But that's okay, all of this can be done slowly.

"We should make these things work as soon as possible," Gawain turned his head and said to Hetty, "First of all, set up communication stations in the Cecil and Kant areas as soon as possible, at least to ensure the communication of key departments such as government offices at all levels, outposts, military camps, etc. , and then set up civilian communication sites. There are enough magic obelisks in these two areas, information transmission should not be a problem, as long as the communication device is in place, the connection can be established immediately...

"The first thing to solve after that is the communication with the Hosman area, where the second-level government office is being built, and the communication station can ensure that we keep abreast of the situation there. There are enough magic obelisks in Hosman, but Hosman Earl Siman died too early, he didn't have time to spread the magic net a little bigger... Consider setting up a relay point from the Hosman area to the Leslie area, so that you can also establish a connection with the Leslie area by the way. .

"Communication is the top priority. There must be a special agency to manage it. I have some suggestions on the role of this agency, its basic functions, and the connection with other departments..."

Hetty had summoned the Evocative Hand at this time, and grabbed a stack of white paper and dipping pens on the nearby test bench, and began to quickly record a lot of things that Gawain cracked down. It just hurts...

And Rebecca, who was still hanging on the communicator, whispered to Carmel: "Look, my ancestor has started again - he seems to have come up with such a large number of packages a long time ago. It's like something, just waiting for our real thing to come out, he will be able to give you a management plan and application plan in an instant..."

Carmel didn't answer. He just floated quietly beside the communicator. Although no one could see his face, he seemed to be lost in thought at the moment.

On the other hand, although Rebecca tried her best to keep her voice down, in fact, all her whispering bb's movements came into Gawain's ears, but Gawain didn't want to trouble this girl: Rebecca was in Gawain again. The research field has proved her ability, and it is too late for Gawain to reward her now.

After explaining some general questions with Hetty, Gawain turned around and looked at Carmel next to the communicator: "If this device can work stably, then arrange a trial production first, or Only when it is actually used can it be concluded that what is wrong with it. Don’t forget to report to me the newly discovered problems in terms of production cost, manufacturing cycle and difficulty.”

"Yes."

After finishing the acceptance of the communicator, Hetty first left the institute. She wanted to go back to study how the "Information and Communication Department" mentioned by Gawain should be established. Rebecca finally hung up the communication reluctantly—— Mainly because she didn't play enough, but no one on the communicator side paid any attention to her...

Gawain and Carmel walked in the spacious corridor of the institute.

"This will change the whole era. You should be able to understand the meaning of that communication device," Gawain said as he walked forward without turning his head. "I think I should build a monument for you."

"For a researcher, being able to explore the unknown is the best reward," Kamel shook his head. "We succeeded in building a communicator, but in fact we still have no idea of ​​the whole truth behind it. I know very little... I just know that the vibration of magic power can spread information in the magic field, but I still can't crack the most essential secret of magic power. I think, only in the process of cracking these truths can I get real rewards. ."

"A researcher who went to the unknown..." Gawain couldn't help but sigh, "This is a great cause."

"Yes, go to the unknown, but it is not only the researchers who are heading to the unknown," Carmel stopped suddenly, he turned to Gawain's direction, the arcane radiance floating on his body became peaceful and bright, " You are also heading into the unknown."

"I?"

"Yes," Carmel said as he continued to drift forward, "a lot of people just think of you as a far-sighted or brilliant ruler, but I can see more...as a habit of advancing in the unknown People, I can see some familiar things in you, you are also challenging some unknown territory, you are trying to create something that this world has never seen before, even if Cecil’s territory has developed to this level , is only the tip of the iceberg of such a thing... You remind me of my colleagues in the Rebellious Fortress."

Gawain didn't expect that Carmel would suddenly feel these emotions to himself, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "...This is really a very high evaluation."

There seemed to be a smile in Kamel's voice: "That's an appropriate assessment, my lord."

Gawain also smiled, but did not respond. He raised his head and suddenly saw something on the other side of the wall through a piece of white crystal glass inlaid in the corridor next to him.

There should be a large engineering laboratory of the Magic Technology Research Institute. In the laboratory, Gawain saw a large number of neatly arranged amplifiers and magic net energy receiving devices installed on a metal base, and many more. The metal rails, rings, and crystals with a little arc are placed near the base. It is obviously something that has not been assembled yet, but from the parts that have been completed so far, Gawain can't help but compare it with it. Some kind of "weapon" linked together.

"What is that?" Gawain frowned slightly, with a curious look on his face.

"Do you remember when we first designed the 'artillery' weapon, we had two simultaneous plans?" Kamal said with pride, "The physical cannon, and the one based on the arcane pulser principle. Energy gathering weapons."

"That's the product of the second set of plans?"

"It's a verification-type rainbow device, of course, it's not available yet, and I'm still trying to figure out how to solve its most critical heat dissipation problem," Kamel said, "but its main structure has passed the acceptance, maybe You'll see its power on the battlefield soon."

Gawain thought thoughtfully: "...The data you collected on the 'testing ground' on the southern city wall that day was used for it?"

"Yes," Carmel said with a strange vibrato of energy, "the sacrifices of those invaders have their own meaning - I hope my research can be used to help you advance in the unknown."

Gawain's sight fell on the "Rainbow Device" in the center of the laboratory, which had not yet been assembled, through the white crystal embedded in the wall.

What a delightful day today.
