The black iron sheet has smooth edges and corners. Although it is a prototype, it is not rough in production. A very thin layer of transparent water steel is cast on the outside. Under the refraction of the sun, you can faintly see the alchemical matrix integrated into the iron sheet. It is complex. The notes flashed, and as Ye Qingxuan flipped, the iron pieces jumped flexibly between his five fingers.
Just like Ye Qingxuan's requirements, it is solid and durable, and the size can be carried around, and it can fit in any pocket, although there is a risk of missing it.
But if you are so careless as to lose it, then you can only say that you deserve it, right
Ye Qingxuan said sweetly, "It looks good, how to use it?"
"Just like when using the Aether Ball."
Laura replied: "In addition to being a connection terminal of the Ethernet, it can be regarded as a variant of the Ether Ball."
Laura took the terminal from Ye Qingxuan's hand, held it in her hand, and activated it. A projection was refracted from the iron sheet into the air, and the detailed icons showed the surrounding ether fluctuations and various values.
All the functions of the etheric ball are all available, and unlike the etheric ball, it also has a very thin layer of lapis lazuli as the core, which can store many small pieces of music for easy recall at any time.
As an example, the "square" movement written by Ye Qingxuan and Charles back then has become widely popular since its creation, and many musicians like to play it while killing time.
After demonstrating each effect, Laura turned the terminal over and showed Ye Qingxuan the golden alchemy matrix on the back - Ladder Music Theory.
"It has been locked and resonated with the Ethernet. Just carry it with you and activate it when necessary. Just like a bank, it is distinguished by account number. You can set a password, bind your own heartbeat, and perform double verification."
As the ladder matrix lights up, the light of Jiuxiao Huanpei comes from across the sky, connecting the terminal to the huge system of the Ethernet. Then, following Laura's guidance, the music theory weaved, and in the gentle melody, warm light fell from her hands on Ye Qingxuan.
Psalm movement.
Through the Ethernet, even a demon hybrid like Lola can use the chant faction that opposes her without any hindrance, without having to worry about the music theory in her body being ignited.
Based on this, the Holy City will never let him go.
But Ye Qingxuan still didn't care at all about this.
It's nothing more than a little more hatred, so you won't be itchy if you have too many lice, and you won't have to worry if you have too many debts.
Rather than this, he was more concerned about the following demonstration.
"What about communication capabilities?" he asked: "I remember I asked Newton for this."
"With the Ethernet as a channel, it is not difficult to realize this function."
Laura showed Ye Qingxuan the code at the bottom of the ladder terminal: "Each terminal has its own number. As long as you have the other party's number, you can transmit information through the Ethernet at any time. In addition to sound, Image transmission is also possible, but image transmission takes up too many resources and cannot be used by everyone."
Ye Qingxuan frowned, "Is there a solution?"
"This is easy to do."
Laura said: "Newton asked me to tell you that permissions can be classified. High permissions can be used at any time. Low permissions can be applied for and temporarily activated when necessary. In terms of operation and maintenance, according to your order, the 'Tianti Communication Company' was registered. Congratulations, you are about to become a monopoly giant in the future communications industry, and you will be making a lot of money."
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Income is just a number, the focus is to promote the Ethernet."
Newton strongly protested to him in his report. According to calculations, the communication function of the Ethernet is expected to occupy one-fifth of the total resources, which means that one-fifth of the power will be wasted on it.
In contrast, communication function is not the most needed ability for musicians, because products that can perform this function have long been available. Through large-scale concert instruments, musicians can send and receive information to the outside world at any time, not to mention various revelations. movement.
Ethernet communication, while useful, is not necessary for musicians.
But on the other hand... what if you are a non-musician
What if it's a civilian
Ordinary people who still communicate with relatives and friends by writing letters, waiting three to four months or even half a year for a letter...
Ye Qingxuan can conclude that as long as the Ethernet terminals are open to civilians, there will definitely be a large number of people willing to sell iron and spend a relatively expensive sum of money to buy Ethernet terminals.
Just for this function.
By then, the Ethernet will have a large number of loyal followers, and it is unknown how many of them have the qualifications of apprentices and can become musicians. Their own bowstrings to the Ethernet are enough to earn back Ye Qingxuan's investment.
From the beginning, Ye Qingxuan never restricted the independence of the Ethernet, nor did he think about turning the Ethernet into something that belonged only to him.
The nature of the Ethernet determines that it must be open source and have open permissions. The more people use it, the stronger its power will be.
It has no direct lethality, no defense, and no magical effects. As a natural disaster, it can be said to be the weakest natural disaster, but it itself has unlimited potential.
Every user will become part of the Ethernet, making it stronger and sharing its pressure.
With the end of the Ethernet load limit test, Ye Qingxuan now has a certain understanding of its limits.
At the same moment, it can support 40,000 formal musicians using music at the same time. If there are more, chaos will occur.
But this is just its own endurance limit.
In fact, Ye Qingxuan did not intend to rely on it to withstand all the pressure. He did not even take its own endurance into consideration, and only intended to use it for emergency use.
What really bears the pressure is the synergy associated with it.
Each additional large-scale concert instrument can increase the share of one hundred and twenty formal musicians. At the same time, the pressure is transferred downwards to the lowest level, and all users can share it.
The amount of stress everyone experiences is almost insignificant.
For every thousand additional users, the Ethernet can increase the authority of a master. This could even be doubled if usage is strictly controlled.
The Ethernet is not something that one person can afford, not even the Three Kings.
And all Ye Qingxuan needs to do is to tie more and more people onto his pirate ship...
…
It has to be said that Newton is Newton after all. Every detail is done perfectly. All of Ye Qingxuan's ideas are perfectly realized and even exceeded, and there is no fault.
Finally, Ye Qingxuan nodded and asked the last question:
"anything else?"
"Um?"
"Is there anything else?" Ye Qingxuan asked.
"Do you think there are any more questions?" Laura smiled.
But Ye Qingxuan didn't smile. He looked at Laura: "You still have something to say, Laura, I can see it - when you show that associate professor's appearance, it's time to prepare to lie."
Laura was silent, her expression became complicated.
After a while, she said: "The things you asked to investigate a few days ago have already been revealed."
"Your friend, Vito, is dead!"
"Um."
Ye Qingxuan lowered his head and said, "Continue."
"Our investigators found the boat that took him across the border. The captain signed a contract with a gold mine in a colony in Burgundy to send the stowaway there. The people at the mine said that Vito contracted lung disease on the boat. He died soon after arriving there."
Laura placed a paper bag on the table.
"This is his legacy."
"I see."
Ye Qingxuan did not go through the bag and nodded slightly: "If there is nothing else, you can go back first. I still have work to continue here."
Laura looked at him with complicated eyes, and after a long time, she stood up and left.
The door is closed.
In the long silence, the afternoon sunlight penetrated through the curtains and fell slantingly on the table, illuminating the small paper bag.
The paper bag contained a coat of arms.
It was the most valuable thing on Vito's body. He always told others that it was something his father left to him, but everyone thought he had stolen it from somewhere.
Vito once held it and told Ye Qingxuan that he would stand out in the future, never bow to anyone again, and be noble like a noble.
The town of Root was not big at that time, but it could accommodate the childhood of two people and give them a place to stay.
But now Root Town is gone.
The post-disaster census team of the Land and Resources Department told him that the town of Root was in ruins. It should have been the tide of beasts when the abyss burst, which razed it to the ground.
When Ye Qingxuan left there on the boat, he vaguely understood that it was no longer his home, but only now did he realize that the farewell came too quickly.
It was so fast that he was caught off guard.
He closed his eyes tiredly.
"Goodbye, Vito."
