Social changes are complex, but on the other hand, its changes in specific time periods and under specific conditions are regular and followable - just like Emperor Typhon's changes are destined to touch the land aristocracy. Interests, just as the emergence of industry will inevitably give birth to a new class that uses machine factories instead of land as capital, just as the small aristocrats who invest in capital will inevitably be separated from the big aristocrats, and the old raw material production areas will inevitably be exploited by industrial groups... …All of this is a complete chain, and they will happen naturally even without anyone pushing it.
As long as you find the key points of these chains and push them slightly... everything will suddenly accelerate.
What Daniel has to do is to push or guide a little at these key nodes, so as to achieve maximum results with minimum effort.
But even so, it is still very difficult to rely on the old mage to influence the entire development process of Typhon. It is necessary for Gawain to confirm whether Daniel can successfully complete these bold plans.
Facing the doubts of "outside wanderers", Daniel did not hide his connections and influence in Typhon: "Although I have been away from the Typhon Empire for many years, I still have connections in the Royal Mage Association. Many are available... Some nobles in the imperial capital have old friendships with me... Many nobles with lower titles are keen to get closer to the non-faction mages of the Royal Mage Association. I have established relationships with many of them after returning to the imperial capital. We have established contact..."
"Well done," Gawain nodded slightly, "Just as I warned you, you have to manage your own power. What I want you to do is far more than just one person. "I have always followed your will," Daniel immediately lowered his head, then he hesitated slightly and said tentatively, "My lord, regarding the increase of manpower, I I have something to report to you."
Gawain nodded: "Go ahead."
"My apprentice Mary, I think she has passed the test," Daniel said cautiously. , "She is very talented in the field of mathematics and physics. She has mastered most of the knowledge you gave her, and her loyalty can be guaranteed. I think she meets your requirements."
Gawain pondered slightly: " Mary...you did mention her."
He knew several of Daniel's apprentices, especially the apprentice named "Mary". He had said that he would do it very early on. The old mage selects talents from among his apprentices and teaches them mathematical knowledge, hoping to increase the number of available manpower, and the female mage named Mary seems to be the one Daniel is most satisfied with.
"In that case, then bring her to see me at the next meeting," Gao Wen made the decision. "It just so happens that we now have non-implantable nerve cord technology. It allows people to access the Internet without undergoing neural modification or using the secret of eternal sleep."
As he spoke, he waved his hand gently, and an immersion system immediately appeared above the round table. Holographic projection of neural cockpit,The accompanying blueprints and detailed technical information also appeared around the projection.
Rebecca said proudly: "We used this connection to get in."
"This is..." Daniel looked steadily at the floating in the air. Holographic image, at this moment, an unknown number of complex emotions suddenly surged into his heart.
This is non-implantable connection technology, a technology that allows people who do not have the talent of eternal sleepers to enter the spiritual network.
He thought of his body in the real world, of the implanted nerve cords that made him look like a monster, of the sequelae that almost drove him crazy, those hallucinations, those The tingling, those maddening noises...
The nerve cords are rooted in the spinal cord and connected to the brain. It is probably impossible for him to leave those nerve cords in his life.
But his "non-implantable nerve cord" was finally successful.
His ideas, his theories, and his research directions are correct.
At least Mary didn’t have to have as many holes between her spine and brain stem as she did.
"All the information is here, and I will also store them in this safe space for you to call at any time." Gawain's voice woke Daniel up from his thoughts, "Some of the parts on this They are made using Cecil's machine. You don't have the corresponding processing equipment, but I have marked the detailed processing conditions. I believe that as a high-level mage, you have the ability to make them."
This is the benefit of the extraordinary field - although machines have many advantages, as long as extraordinary people are willing to devote time and energy, they can often make products that meet industrial requirements with their bare hands. At least in the early stages of industrial development, extraordinary people If we want to make a few gears and levers, or even make a few engines or a magic car, it is possible.
Daniel lowered his head respectfully: "I will not disappoint you."
......
In the spacious and bright laboratory, amber is quite beautiful. Sitting on the chair next to Gawain boredly, he was fiddling with the small dagger in his hand while observing the closed immersion chambers. Occasionally, he turned his head to look at Gawain who was sleeping next to him. In the end, he couldn't help but mumble. Get up: "I'm afraid these people are going to sleep to death..."
A voice with a slight metallic vibrato came from not far away: "This is impossible, life detection rune It shows that everyone’s vital signs here are normal.”
Amber raised his eyelids and saw a silver-white funny egg with a diameter of more than one meter, fluttering between several immersion chambers. She curled her lips to check the condition of the equipment: "Nonsense, the life detection runes on Carmel's side are dark."
Nicholas Egg turned around and glanced at the egg that was floating quietly next to the immersion chamber. The ancient mage, who had more than a dozen arcane currents connected to the immersion chamber, made a buzzing sound: "But Kamel himself is bright."
"YouThis ball is really serious where it shouldn't be, and it's blinding your smiling face." Amber couldn't help but roll her eyes, and then looked at the iron ball star in front of her with some curiosity, "But then again... you don't feel it. Are you sorry? ”
Nicholas Dan didn’t know why: “What’s the regret?” ”
“Many parts of these devices were made by you yourself, but you can’t use them yourself,” Amber said. “Even Kamel can directly access them by sensing magic power.” Isn’t it a pity that you can’t access the Internet? "
Nicholas Egg was silent for a moment, shaking his body from side to side: "There is nothing I can do - my life form is too special. I have no so-called 'nervous system' at all, and I can't sense anything. The magic power fluctuates. Pittman tested it on me when he made the nerve cord. I had no reaction at all to that thing. But then again...I don't feel any regrets either. ”
“Oh? "
"I know what kind of world is inside that spiritual network," Nicholas Egg lowered his height slightly, "That is the world in human dreams... But that is human dreams, not mine. My world is not here, nor is it in any of your dreams. ”
This world has a shadow world, a shadow world, an elemental world and many fragmented outer spaces. For those who have access to this knowledge, “visitors from foreign lands” are not a stranger. It is an unimaginable concept, but even so, it is still unimaginable for a life form like Nicholas Egg that is completely beyond common sense. When the territory was just established, in order to prevent too much attention from the outside world, Gawain arranged an "ancient magician" for this iron star. However, this is only a public statement to the outside world. For Cecil's senior management and the core personnel who have gained Gawain's trust, they know more or less the origin of Nicholas Egg.
A strange visitor from a foreign land.
Hu Amber looked at this visitor from a foreign land and suddenly couldn't help but ask: "By the way, do you want to find a companion? "
"...Huh? "
"Aren't you lonely?" Amber's thoughts had already spread. "How about I tell Old Zongzi and find you a companion..."
Nicholas Dan was a little shocked: “Where are you going to find me a companion! ? "
Amber opened his mouth and came: "Use a lathe to turn one..."
Nicholas Egg: "...Wait a minute, I think you made a mistake..."
However, Amber is not so easy to stop; "By the way, are you a male or female player?" ”
“No, I think it’s pretty good now, and my days at the Machinery Manufacturing Institute are quite fulfilling...”
Amber was already excited about herself at this time. , this half-elf who is prone to intermittent excitement suddenly became very interested in Nicholas Egg’s personal issues: “Speaking of which, I always thought you were a boy, but if you think about it carefully, youWe are divided into men and women..."
At this moment, a slight shaking suddenly came, finally interrupting the goose's continuous competition.
And along with this slight shaking There was shaking and a faint roar coming from an unknown distance.
Amber was the first to react. As a stalker, she was extremely sensitive to any slight shaking. The sound that came next made her ears stand up all of a sudden. Nicholas Egg's reaction was a little slower: he was floating in the air and couldn't sense the vibrations of the ground very well, so he didn't wait until the sound came to him. Then he asked curiously: "There seems to be some movement? ”
“Is there an earthquake?” Amber had already stood up, her ears were trembling in the air sensitively, and she kept turning to various directions where weak sounds came from. At the same time, her hand was already on Gawain. on the shoulder, ready to wake the latter up at any time.
But the vibration only lasted for a short while, and the deep and distant voice soon stopped.
"It seemed. It came from far away, and it has stopped." Amber glanced at Nicholas Egg, "You watch here, I will contact the outpost. "
The elf's keen hearing allowed her to judge that the last movement came from the south, which brought her great uneasiness.
Nicholas Egg had no nonsense: " good. "
Amber's figure quickly disappeared into the air, but she did not leave too far - there is a magic network terminal for communication in the Magical Technology Research Institute, and she came to the nearest terminal room , and then directly called the surveillance station set up in the Dark Mountains.
The scene of the surveillance station appeared above the terminal, and a tall and thin soldier appeared on the holographic projection: "This is the Dark Mountains. Post 1, salute to you, Director Amber. "
"Outpost, is there anything going on there? Amber asked immediately, "I felt a vibration here just now." "
"Yes, we are about to report - at the southern foot of the Dark Mountains, there was a sudden movement at the border of the Black Forest. It may be an earthquake or landslide. ”
“Just over there in the Black Forest? No movement at the Great Wall? "
"Everything is normal on the magnificent wall, everything is normal on the solar disc observation, and everything is normal on the magic environment. "
Amber relaxed slightly, but still felt a little strange: "Earthquake or landslide? But why do I feel like I heard something like an explosion..."
"I heard it here too, but I couldn't see the source of the explosion, maybe it was blocked by the mountain. Additionally, a sentry saw an unidentified flash to the southwest, but could not confirm it. "
"...I understand," Amber breathed, "Regardless of whether it is an earthquake or a landslide, in short, be vigilant and stare at the magnificent wall. I will report the situation to the lord. ”
