Chapter 917: The Day of Connecting to the Grid
A brand-new tower-shaped building stands on the high ground on the west side of Winter Fortress. The snow-capped peaks and peaks in the north that never melt all year round form an undulating curtain, which becomes the background of this tower.
The tower is made of steel and cement. It has a hexagonal base and simple and straight lines. The dense streamer wanders between the rune lines and the magic metal at the lower part of the tower, as if it has a surging vitality. There are large-scale, mechanically structured support devices and crystal arrays formed by multiple crystals are fixed on the top of the tower. In the cold wind of this extreme north, a layer of translucent magic shield isolates the wind and frost. the erosion of the tower, the crystal array at the top of the tower constantly fine-tunes its structure and angle within the shield.
It hasn't started yet, at this moment the crystal array is further adapting to the magical environment near Winter Castle.
In a blizzard of snow, Victoria and several high-level mages slowly landed from the sky and came to this high ground, which was tightly protected by several military sentry towers and a circle of walls. She raised her head and saw the high tower in There was a gleam in his sight, piercing the sky like a sharp sword, and a smile could not help but emerge from the bottom of his eyes.
This is probably the most beautiful of all the main hubs of the magic web in the whole empire - the white color scheme and simple and powerful lines may look simple, but they are perfectly matched with the surrounding environment. When designing this tower, Victoria She even personally participated in some steps to synchronize the style of the main hub of the North with the equally white Winter Castle next to it. Now, she is very satisfied with the final appearance of this tower.
And the connection between this tower and Winterfell is more than that.
Beneath this high ground next to the castle's main building, in a series of magic net relay devices extending along the mountain, there is a surging magic power flowing day and night - this main hub, and the magic power of Winter Castle are connected together.
The Wilder family in the north has been the most outstanding magical family in this country for hundreds of years. Winter Castle has accumulated the family's heritage for centuries. Victoria has not wasted the ready-made and excellent magic foundation here - she has carefully studied about it. After the knowledge of rune logic and magic technology, she and the technical consultants from the imperial capital jointly designed a huge system. This system uses the magic net as the "base", covering the magic structure of Winter Castle itself and the castle. The entire surrounding urban area also solves the problems of urban energy supply, magic net hub energy supply, strengthening magic net stability, and upgrading of the castle's own facilities.
And now, this system is in operation. It gathers surging and stable energy and injects it into the tower in front of Victoria. Soon, it will pass through the crystal array on the top of the tower, which will be further stabilized and adjusted. Its energies are broadcast throughout the region, establishing stable connections with Leyline hubs in other nearby towns.
"Send the news to the imperial capital after completing the final stage of the stress test," the Duchess said, calmly speaking to the people beside her, restraining her careless expression, "You can start preparing for the final grid connection."
The mage beside him immediately led the order to leave,
Victoria looked at the tower quietly for a while, then lowered her head and recited softly: "Mirena, the goddess of magic... May you watch all this..."
In fact, she seldom prayed to the goddess of magic. In recent years, she learned a lot of truth about the gods, and even witnessed two "disasters" in person, she even reduced the number of mentions of the name "Mirmina", But in the final analysis, she is still a mage, and some things that are rooted in habit are not so easy to change, even if it is just out of pure spiritual sustenance, she still maintains the legendary "source of all magic", "magic" Master's respect.
There was no answer to the prayer, but there was a vague concern and a psychological response—expected and reasonable.
...
With the slight buzzing and the clicking sound of the mechanical device, a document was slowly spit out from the printing device beside the desk. Gawain took the document and glanced at it, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
"Byron's contact with the representatives of the grey elves and dwarves at Whitefeather Harbor was very smooth, and the initial voyage of Curiosity was a success beyond expectations," he smiled at Hetty, who was standing by and had just finished reporting on his work. He said, "It seems that those dwarves living in the extreme west of the continent are very interested in Cecil's foreign trade machinery and magic technology - they may charge very high prices."
"Really? Ah... I've been waiting for this good news for several days," Heidi blinked, her tone becoming very happy, "The dwarves have always been short of gold, silver and magic materials, but the dwarf kingdom is facing the inland bow. The mountain range has been affecting their trade with the mainland countries for a long time. If the sea trade route from Beigang to Forge City can be opened up, although the distance seems to be a little farther, the cost will definitely be countless times more cost-effective than land transportation."
"I have long heard that the dwarf kingdom is rich in minerals. To be honest, most of the reasons I restarted the northern route around the continent were to open up trade routes with the dwarves - through the border of the dwarf kingdom and the Ogre Tribe. It is too difficult to establish a trade line with mountains and mountains," Gawain said with a smile, with undisguised joy and relaxation on his face, "That's it... Although Curiosity only got through the North Port to the White Feather Port this time. route, but it's at least a good start that our whole plan is doable."
As he spoke, he sketched a map of the coastline of the northwestern part of the continent in his mind, and matched the navigation data returned by Curiosity with the details on the map.
He could clearly "see" the locations of North Harbor and White Feather Harbor, as well as the bow-shaped mountains of the Dwarf Kingdom and several natural ports facing the sea—to be honest, for those who have opened up land trade routes and have a geographical location As far as the gray elves adjacent to the Cecil Empire are concerned, the line from White Feather Port to North Port is not of great significance. You will be able to reap huge benefits from it - that short sea trade route is definitely easier than crossing the bow mountains.
I believe that the keen-eyed Ms. Wenna Baizhi can also see this, otherwise she would not be so proactive in cooperating with the Cecil Empire’s route restart plan, and agreed to open the only port of Mosswood to the sea. Used by ships in North Harbor.
With the further support of the Grey Elf, his route restart plan will undoubtedly become smoother...
At this moment, the humming sound of the machine and the clicking sound of the printing device suddenly sounded again, interrupting Gawain's thinking.
He looked at the printing device connected to the magic web terminal with some surprises, and saw another document slowly spit out from the paper outlet - on the half-page of paper that had been exposed, you could see the representative of the Wilder family. Snowflake emblem.
The paper fell into the tray, Gawain stretched out his hand to pick it up, and Hetty, who was beside him, cast his eyes curiously: "Where is the report?"
The documents that can be sent directly to this study are usually very unusual, and it is rare that two reports will be sent in such a short period of time.
At this time, Gawain had already glanced at the main part of the document. The short words didn't have much space, but the content was full of big news.
"The main hub of the north is ready, one day earlier than expected!" He said with great joy, even more than when he received the good news from Byron, "Report from Victoria - the hub has completed all Acceptance procedures and final stress tests are now ready to be incorporated into the backbone network—just waiting for the imperial capital to order.”
Heidi's eyes widened immediately. She had also been waiting for this news for a long time, especially as the estimated acceptance date was approaching recently, her expectations were also increasing day by day. As one of the people who watched the development of magic technology, she was particularly aware of the empire. What does it mean when the whole world is connected to the Internet? After staying for less than a second, she showed a very happy expression: "Great! We finally waited for this day!"
"How's the preparation going?" Gao Wen asked quickly.
"The preparations for all departments were completed the day before yesterday, and most of the staff are on standby at the moment. We have been waiting for news from the north," Hetty said immediately, "If we start the grid connection preparation process from now on, we will be ready in about four hours. The first main hub can be officially launched—starting from the hub of Shilin City.”
"Then go," Gawain nodded to Hetty, "the next few hours will be a big event."
It's definitely a big deal, and he's absolutely sure of it - like the activation of the first magic web prototype, like the civil war in Anzu, like the establishment of an empire, what will happen in the next few hours will Enough to leave a mark on the times, he can even now foresee that this matter will be undisputedly stamped on the textbooks and exam papers of the students in the future, history lessons, politics lessons, and even magic The kind you have to learn in technical classes.
The liberal arts must be memorized, and the sciences must also be required.
Thinking of this, Gawain couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, showing a strange expression.
The old ancestor suddenly showed a strange smile, and the eldest princess of the empire was a little confused about this, but Hetty quickly put the doubts in his mind to the back-at such a happy moment, the old ancestor must also have an ups and downs, and the smile is more complicated Also within reason.
She explained it to herself in this way, then turned around and left Gawain's study. She came to the corridor, looked at the neat magic spar lamps on both sides of the corridor, exhaled softly, then lowered her head, put her hands on her chest and said a short prayer that she had not done for a long time: "Goddess of magic. Miermina...are you willing to witness everything..."
There was no answer to the prayer, but there was a vague concern and a psychological response—expected and reasonable.
...
Imperial College, in a brand-new classroom, senior wizard students are sitting neatly behind their desks, listening to the new "neural network concept course" this semester.
Elaine, who was wearing a wizarding uniform, was looking intently at the direction of the podium, and beside him, a big boy with short brown hair and a few freckles on his face was writing with his head down.
"Storm," Elavin couldn't help but gently touched his new acquaintance, reminding him in a low voice, "don't bother writing notes - the teacher is talking about key theoretical knowledge."
The big boy named Storm seemed to be taken aback. The tip of the pen left a crooked ink mark on the paper. He raised his head and glanced at Elaven quickly, with a nervous and cowardly look on his face: "I . . . ok, ok..."
Seeing the other party's reaction, Elaine wanted to say a few more words, but the next second, a thunderous voice suddenly came from the podium: "Don't talk in class! Mr. Elaine Franklin!"
The loud voice swept through the classroom like a storm, and all the students were shocked in an instant, and Elaine Franklin broke into a fine sweat: even if he was the son of the duke, in the face of this loud voice It will be extremely nervous at times. In fact, even in the entire Imperial College, there is no student who is not afraid of this loud voice.
He immediately sat up straight, made a gesture that he had realized was wrong, and glanced cautiously at the figure on the podium.
A short middle-aged man with bursting hair stood there. He was floating in the air, and there was a set of magic net projection crystals at the corresponding position under his feet, which was making a very slight buzzing sound.
After Magnum finished training the students, he shook his head, turned around and looked at the schematic diagram he had just sketched in mid-air, ready to continue the next lesson: "Okay, everyone is energized, let's move on to the next part, How to ensure that multiple brainwave signals will not interfere with each other after they are transmitted to a node at the same time. You all listen carefully, because the pioneers who summed up this part of knowledge have spent ten years to solve this problem, and you lucky guys are now It only takes less than half a class! First of all..."
Magnum's voice just stopped halfway through.
In the short silence, the students inevitably had a little commotion, and Elaven heard someone whispering behind him:
"Why did Mr. Magnum suddenly stop talking?"
"Will Ms. Selina turn off the speaker again..."
"Shh—Ms. Selena might be watching from the classroom."
"Quiet!!" Suddenly, Magnum's loud voice exploded again, he glared at the class, and then waved his hand, "Well, today's class seems to end early, there is a task over the neural network, I'm going to turn my attention to other work and save the rest of this class for another time."
Then he added in a loud voice: "But don't think about being lazy - I have prepared the test papers for the previous part of the course for you! The teaching assistant will be sent here in a while, and the remaining half of the class and I'll stay here to write papers for the next self-study class!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Magnum's figure disappeared from the podium in an instant, leaving only a bunch of formula symbols and schematic diagrams floating in the air, and only a group of students staring at each other in the classroom.
