After Rebecca and Jenny left, Gawain stood up from behind the desk, walked around to the large floor-to-ceiling window, and looked thoughtfully at the new buildings being built across the square.
That is the headquarters of the "Public Security Bureau". A part of the former militiamen who have received training and ideological education will become the first batch of professional "patrol police" or "security team members" in the territory to replace the current combat corps. The status quo of soldiers acting as patrollers.
What Gawain was thinking about was not the implementation of this new system. What he was paying attention to was the construction process of that building.
Wherever new facilities are built, the Honeycomb Magic Network will be laid. Therefore, before the construction of the Public Security Bureau Building started, the honeycomb units and output terminals of the Magic Network were already buried in the foundations around it. These Magical power will also become an important auxiliary on the construction site: before starting work, craftsmen will carve simple weight-reducing magic circles, heating runes, elemental blessing runes, etc. around the magic network output terminals according to the drawings issued to them, and those Building materials sent from cement factories and brick and tile factories will be processed in these areas where simple magic circles are carved. Some are heated and solidified, some are blessed by elements to extend their service life, and more are used to reduce weight. Easy to transport and install.
Inferior weight-reducing arrays made of cheap materials can also provide a weight-reducing effect for about an hour, during which time heavy building materials will be transported to the appropriate location, such as roof beams, The roof, and craftsmen full of labor wisdom have summed up experience in this process. They know how to install these weight-reduced materials to ensure that they will not impact the building structure when the weight suddenly returns, but will be stronger. The ground is joined with other building materials - the production and construction activities throughout the territory have greatly accelerated the integration of new applied magic and traditional craftsmanship. Craftsmen in the construction field can be said to be the first to accept and become accustomed to using magic in their work. One of the crowd.
The participation of these simple spells increased the efficiency of building construction in Cecil's territory to an incredible level - even beyond Gawain and Hetty's initial expectations, and they were both surprised. , it’s just that the latter is surprised that there will be such a change if magic is popularized among the people, while the former is rethinking whether his judgment of the world is accurate...
This Ansu in the "Middle Ages" Is the kingdom, or the entire world, really "backward"?
Gawain frowned, remembering the task he gave to Rebecca and Jenny, and what he had seen and heard in the past few months.
The communication ring of the Mithril Treasure House, Hetty's levitation and weight loss techniques, the human brain array of the Eternal Sleeper cultists, the biochemical transformation of the Death Society of All Things...
If it is simple Judging from the perspective of "whether a certain purpose can be achieved" or "whether a certain technical means exists", this world is actually not lagging behind at all - it is incredibly advanced.
There is long-distance and low-latency remote communication technology (magic communication orMithril treasure house communication props), there are advanced facilities such as magic information towers at the country-to-country level, and there is even a flying city called the "Star Temple" in the country of the silver elves, and that city can The long-distance communication signal covers the entire Silver Empire, and it can be said to be the most powerful information base station that Gawain has ever heard of;
The manifestation of the scorching ray is similar to some kind of high-energy laser, or the temperature and binding force are both Extremely high plasma jet;
The Eversleeper's technology creates a neural thinking network. The human brain array computer is simply a black technology in Gawain's opinion, and what else does this technology achieve at the same time? Achieving fully immersive virtual reality - it can even affect the real world;
The biochemical technology of the Society of Death has enabled organ transplantation and even DNA fusion between different species many years ago ( If the creatures in this world also use DNA as a carrier of genetic data);
The holy water of the Holy Light Church can achieve almost 100% sterilization and disinfection effect, and their healing magic can even heal human limbs instantly Regeneration;
Magicians can create energy shields, focused energy rays, damaging sound waves, and even create small-scale artificial weather...
In Gawain's sight , a beam that has lost most of its weight is being transported to the roof by workers using a sling, and is easily installed in place - what is that essentially? It’s anti-gravity technology!
The Temple of the Stars relied on some powerful anti-gravity device to float above the Silver Empire for thousands or even tens of thousands of years - if used properly, it would be equivalent to how many ships Space carrier?
So is a world with remote instant communications, energy weapons, energy shields, anti-gravity technology, flight technology, and high-end biochemical technology really backward?
It stands to reason that it will not fall behind. It has even advanced to the point where it can only be described as "science fiction".
But in Gao Wen's eyes, it is still backward - most people still dig food in the fields, still use simple wooden tools and physical strength to survive, and still live in poverty with food and clothing. The reason for all this is not that the technical level is not reached - the technical level has been reached long ago, it is just that it has not been popularized.
The special thing about this world is that even if various advanced technologies based on magic are not popularized, they can still be mastered and implemented by individuals!
Even if their development is restricted by the factor of "not being popular", the "high starting point" of magic has determined that even their original use method is enough to make those who have the power live a better life. Not a bad day.
The people in the upper class have extraordinary power. They have been able to use this extraordinary power to live an advanced life of extreme comfort and convenience. At the same time, there are also a large number of "lower people" to drive. Of course, they They would not think of spreading these powers to maintain their own rule, and even if there are a few talented people in the lower class,Once Yun'er masters these powers, he will be immediately absorbed into the social structure of this world, transformed into a new aristocratic class, and become a member of the maintenance of this situation - and more importantly, in the Hive Magic Network and Rune Logic Before the emergence of Gawain, before the emergence of the "third-party observer", no one would have thought about how to popularize all of this, and the consequences of popularizing all of this.
So this world is lagging behind. Even with remote communications, energy weapons, biochemical technology, virtual reality technology, and anti-gravity technology, it has continued to lag behind for thousands of years.
However, Gawain believes that even if he does not appear, the world will one day get rid of this sinking situation - as long as humans are still thinking, changes will always occur, and a wild mage will be buried There will always be someone new who sums up the rules of runes and the concept of the magic network, and there will always be someone who is extremely talented or even just too lucky to realize all of this...
Don't worry at all. Is the technology accumulation in this world enough? There is no lack of technology accumulation here. What is lacking is just a process of popularization and the power to ensure popularization.
But since he has appeared in this era and has not seen anyone except himself realize the significance of popularizing all this, he is very happy to do it all with his own hands...
The thoughts in Gawain's heart were ups and downs. After realizing that this world actually had countless advanced technologies waiting for him to liberate, his fighting spirit was burning again. But at this moment, he saw a beam of light in the square below. The black shadow suddenly flashed and flew towards this direction.
He closed the window with ease.
"Gawain, let me tell you something about the Machinery Manufacturing Institute... Paji."
It wasn't until the half-elf lady was ejected by the snap that Gawain realized that it was like just now I heard the words "Machine Manufacturing Institute" - Is this shame of all things here to report business?
Gawain quickly opened the window again, and almost the moment the window was opened, he saw a black shadow jumping up from below and slamming into him: "You are going to die. ! How can you deliberately close the window when you see someone coming?" Gowen grabbed the arrogant Amber and said, "How can you not go through the front door every day? I will put it on the window next time! It's a mousetrap, I'm warning you - and what's going on at the Machinery Manufacturing Institute?"
Amber opened her teeth and claws for the last few times, and then found that she couldn't get away, then she quickly got down to business: "That Nicholas egg seems to be there? Something happened, it fell to the ground just now, and there was a mess there!"
Something happened to the work machine? !
It is no exaggeration to say that Gawain really broke out in a cold sweat at this moment. Without saying a word, he grabbed Amber's belt, pinched her under the arm, and then continued Without even leaving the door, he jumped out of the window: "Hold on!"
"Why don't you jump out of the window too!"
"Shut up!"
Gawain rushed forward almost in a straight line to the new factory building of the Machinery Manufacturing Institute - the citizens along the way did not even see what happened clearly, they only felt a strong wind blowing across the street - in a short time In just a few minutes, he arrived at the place where Mr. Nicholas Egg was staying.
The main workshop of the new Machinery Manufacturing Institute is brightly lit, and almost all the craftsmen and apprentices in the Machinery Manufacturing Institute have gathered in the spacious indoor space. Nicholas Egg is located in the middle of the crowd - he quietly " "Lying there", the huge silver-white funny smile faced the sky, it looked so funny...
The corner of Gawain's mouth trembled, feeling that the funny paint on the surface of this big ball was too eye-catching, Even in this situation, it felt like a drama, but he quickly adjusted and stepped forward to ask: "What happened? Dandan - can you still hear me?"
"How many times have I told you, at least call me Mr. Dan!" A buzzing sound came from Nicholas Egg's body, and the sphere shook slightly on the spot, but there was still no sign of floating. "I said, what are you humans doing? They are all making such a fuss...I'm not dead..."
Hearing the Iron Ball Star's response, Gawain breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the big metal ball in front of him suspiciously: "Then you are..."
"You seem to have a cold," Nicholas Egg buzzed, "A sudden cold."
"Cold?"
"Yes, you have a cold. Isn't it common sense that you can't float when you have a cold?"
"...This is not common sense to humans!" Gawain suddenly glared and felt deeply at the same time When he came to the differences caused by different species, he asked a little worriedly, "By the way, why did your race catch a cold? Did you catch a cold? Or was it infected?"
"Probably because of contact with an irritant. "," Nicholas Egg said in a sullen voice, "I tend to catch colds when exposed to certain energy fields or material stimuli... I tried processing several new materials today, and I'm afraid there are sources of stimulation in them."
Gawain immediately turned to the surrounding craftsmen and apprentices: "What has he been exposed to today?"
A rune craftsman shrank his head: "Lord, the director, he processed it today. The most special thing should be this..."
As he spoke, he asked the apprentices to push over a large piece of "raw stone" loaded on the trolley.
"This is a new ore discovered by the exploration team from the Dark Mountains. Ms. Hetty said that she sensed that the ore has high magical activity."
