Chapter 1360: The Mystery of the Feast (10)

"Your Highness, I'm sorry about what happened to your country, but forgive me for being frank. No matter how you participate in this matter, even if you just help Yongdu hunt down the raccoon, it may cause troubles that you can't handle."

Schiller looked at Alan with an apologetic look. He was sure that Alan would not pester him, and would not even ask the Sanctuary to help him solve this matter.

Although Alan is very urgent now, as if he can't help but protect the security of his country, in fact, the Dodel Federation he mentioned is a multi-tribal alliance. He is just a prince of one of the tribes, and may not even be an important prince who can succeed to the throne.

He will show an attitude of being sober while everyone else is drunk, and he must help the Federation solve this trouble. It is nothing more than trying to gain some political bargaining chips for himself, but if the price of this process is greater than he imagined, there is naturally no need to continue.

Sure enough, Alan just showed a regretful look, completely without the previous anxiety, as if he just lamented that he missed an opportunity to show off in front of his father.

At this time, the waiter came out of the concert hall and led the guests to take their seats in order. Alan smiled at Schiller and said, "Thank you so much, sir, thank you for your kind reminder. It seems that we can only bear it, but I will visit the earth another day. I also want to experience the service of the Holy of Holies."

"Of course, the Holy of Holies welcomes you at any time."

After hearing Schiller's polite reply, Alan turned around at the right time and did not entangle anymore, but after he turned around, Schiller's serious expression disappeared quickly, and became a half-smile, his eyes fell on Alan's hair tied behind his head.

The young prince had thick black hair, most of which was braided and stood upright behind his head, and was meticulously groomed, but Schiller saw a hair that did not belong to him on the side of his collar that was exposed when he walked.

Schiller followed the crowd into the concert hall, which was different from the concert halls of humans. It was circular in shape and divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The band was playing in the center of the atrium, and there were seats next to it.

In fact, this was not very conducive to sound reception, but Asgard was a magical civilization after all, and they had special ways to make the sounds of various music perfectly reach the ears of the audience.

After Schiller walked into the concert hall, he glanced around, his eyes lingered on several people, and then he saw the conspicuous red cloak as expected.

Schiller took the list of music from the waiter next to the seat and walked towards the figure in the front row of the second floor. Strange also felt someone approaching him, turned back to look, and Schiller had already sat next to him.

The concerts in Asgard were different from those in humans. Drinking was allowed here, and guests could also talk quietly during the interlude. It was more like a social event than art appreciation.

After Schiller sat down, he tapped the wine glass next to Strange with his fingertips and said with a smile: "Quit drinking, huh?"

Strange picked up the thin champagne glass, shook the wine inside, and then said: "Quitting drinking should also be gradual. I try not to drink before doing important things. You know, that kind of tipsy feeling will affect my use of magic, but it's okay when I rest."

Schiller also took a glass of wine from the waiter and shook his head and said: "Yes, then you will find that all the time is rest time."

The two reached out and touched the cup. Strange smiled and said: "Seriously, when will you go to Kamar-Taj again to see our progress in the application of magical energy?"

"I'm just an ordinary person, I don't know magic, don't mutter those magical fables, fate and other words in my ears." Schiller shook his head, revealing a lingering fear expression.

Strange sighed and said helplessly: "Well, I was not here last time, and the one who received you was a more traditional wizard. You know, they just like to talk like this. I promise they won't do that next time."

"In fact, I also know that what you are most concerned about is the progress of portal technology." Strange took another sip of wine, frowned, and his face became a little more serious. He looked at the musicians who were taking their positions in the field and said: "I still maintain my opinion that portal technology is likely to be one of the greatest advantages of mankind in the future."

"Before we went to the interstellar, we only thought it was very convenient, but when we really stepped onto the interstellar stage, we found such a convenient, flexible, and energy-saving portal. There is no other race that has it in the entire universe."

"Indeed, the three empires in the universe are not short of portals. Without teleportation technology, it is almost impossible to achieve large-scale interstellar colonization like them, but their teleportation technology has a big problem, that is, it is large in size, high in energy consumption, and difficult to maintain."

"Of course, the three empires are not short of these materials and energy, but the portable, personalized, lightweight, ultra-small portals like the hanging ring are still a technical difficulty that they cannot overcome."

"The reason is actually the different development paths of civilization." Schiller analyzed, he said: "The Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire are all technologically advanced, and they don't have much research on mysticism."

"Most technological civilizations start their transmission routes from artificial wormholes, continuously improving the stability of wormholes and the accuracy of transmission, and then continuously shrinking and downgrading them, and developing various portals on this basis."

"Magneto once demonstrated to me how wormholes unfold. To be honest, even he, a chosen son who masters the basic forces of the universe, has to spend a lot of effort to build a wormhole portal."

Strange nodded. He had also seen Magneto's transmission method. To be honest, opening a portal in the universe is nothing. After all, the universe is so big and so empty. Even if dozens or hundreds of portals are built, it will not affect anything.

But Magneto's wormhole portal cannot be used on Earth at all, and it cannot even be used too close to the Earth. It is very likely to affect the Earth's gravitational orbit.

Even though Magneto's control of his own abilities has reached an extremely subtle level, no one dares to let him take this risk. After all, there is only one Earth. If something goes wrong, ordinary people will be finished.

This risk will lead to a dilemma for surface civilizations to study portals. Such civilizations do not have the ability to colonize interstellar space, and it is even difficult to go to other planets. They only have one mother planet, and they can only build experimental sites near it.

But if the experiment on wormholes is not done well, it will be a planetary explosion. Almost no surface civilization dares to risk the end of the mother planet to do such experiments.

But now humans are very special. Their technology and magic are developed separately. When it is difficult to build a spacecraft that sails within the solar system on the technology side, the wizard's small portals have been opened all over the universe.

This means that they can completely build experimental sites outside their mother planet, such as Mercury Base, or Saturn and Uranus satellite bases that are currently being developed, or even go directly to the alien enclave, that is, the Andromeda Galaxy to conduct experiments. In this way, even if there is danger, it will not blow up their own home.

Strange touched his chin and said, "In fact, the wizards are planning to find an open area in the Andromeda Galaxy to test new portal technology."

Schiller raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "What new portal technology is there? And we have to go to the Andromeda Galaxy to experiment?"

Strange sighed and said, "This is actually a historical problem. As you know, human wizards have been very poor for a long time. We only have a little energy, so we can only use it sparingly."

"On this basis, most wizards' research routes are how to save energy and improve the efficiency of energy circulation. The same is true for portal technology. You may find it a little ridiculous to say that the unique hanging ring portal in the universe, It was because the wizards were forced to no end that they developed it to save energy. "

Strange smiled bitterly and said, "Think about it, the idealistic nature of magic means that every wizard's dream is to bombard with energy. More is better, bigger is beautiful. If we were not really poor, would we study so many miniaturized technologies?"

"But no one thought that one day we would not worry about energy, but would encounter bottlenecks because the technical route points were too extreme."

Schiller then remembered that when the Sanctuary of the Holy was just established, Kamar-Taj seemed to have begun to study large-scale portal technology. The last time he heard the name of this technology was when he heard that the large-scale portal had been opened to the size of the moon.

But since then, he has never heard of any breakthrough in this technology. If Strange hadn't brought it up again, Schiller would have almost forgotten it.

This is quite interesting. Schiller thought that the portal technologies of other civilizations all changed from large to small, from the initial large wormholes that could affect an entire universe to continuously compressed until they became small portals for civilian use.

But the development process of human portal technology is the opposite. The wizards have been studying energy saving and shrinking technology for many years, resulting in a portable hanging ring portal for everyone, but they have encountered problems in the large-scale portal.

Although Schiller did not understand the principle of magic, he knew that it was not possible to expand the portal to infinity by injecting energy into the hanging ring. The structure of an energy body that can accommodate one person and an energy body that can accommodate a planet must be completely different.

It's like a toy castle made of sand. It's easy to stand up, but if you want to build a real castle, the load-bearing structure and material strength must be strictly designed and considered. It can't be used casually.

"Because we didn't have so much energy at that time, the wizards went through several generations of inheritance and worked hard to design the hanging ring portal out of thin air. This is simply a miracle.

"But because no wizards in ancient times had so much energy to build large portals, and they didn't even dare to think about it, our technical inheritance in this regard is completely missing."

Strange shook his head and said, "The largest portal developed by wizards now is not much larger than the moon. "

"Of course, a portal of this size is enough to transport a few small spaceships or move materials within the solar system, but since humans are already one step ahead in magic portal technology, why can't they be even more advanced?"

"As long as there is a large portal, combined with the Earth's magic defense network, humans can move to their home planet at any time."

As the gorgeous chandeliers above the seats in the concert hall gradually lit up, the light in Strange's eyes became brighter and brighter. His tone seemed to be joking, but between his words, there was a greater ambition.

"Maybe, we can move something else?"
