As the last rune was connected to the entire magic circle, the rune substrate on the test bench began to operate instantly.
The magic power is injected into the substrate through the transmission device on the test bench, and the standard runes that are snapped on the substrate and specially used for laboratory tests are lit up one by one, and the magic flow flows in an orderly manner among the magic materials. And it was transformed into a specific spell effect. A group of light blue airflow appeared above the base plate, forming a specific vortex shape according to the traction of the rune lines.
The clean air mass or the airflow itself is of course invisible. The light blue color is actually the "elemental glare" effect produced by the interaction between the magic power and the active elements in the air. Kamel knew it when he saw the familiar elemental glare. His experiment was successful.
The Jenny formula group and the Ravencrest constant are still effective when dealing with magic runes of the elven system. Blessing of the Wind, a classic elven spell, is perfectly controlled in a human laboratory.
Looking at the swirling air mass, Kamel fell into thought for a while.
When did the concept of "casting spells" gradually deviate from his cognition
Traditional mages are proud of their personal spellcasting ability. Only those who can create spell effects with their own hands and spiritual power can be considered a qualified spellcaster. However, such things as "talent" inherently limit Everyone's highest spellcasting ability, a person with insufficient talent, no matter how good his mind is, no matter how hard he studies, he can't release spells, but... these things run on the test bench, relying on calculations, tools, and materials to produce What kind of spellcasting should it be considered as a spell effect
In the concept of traditional magicians, this is called "magic circle casting", and it is still the patent of magicians, because only those with spellcasting talent can describe the magic circle by sensing the flow of magic power. The magic circle can be as complicated as it is, so casting a spell through a magic circle is essentially the same as casting a spell personally. However, the research magic circle in front of him... was actually made by the assistant researchers in the Rune Research Institute.
They were a group of ordinary people with extremely low or no magical talent.
They designed all the rune structures by means of paper and pen calculations, and Kamel was just guiding from the sidelines, although the "Blessing of the Wind" is only the most basic thing in the elves' magic system, and even only in the human magic system. It can be counted as a first-level or second-level spell, but a group of ordinary people reconstructed a usable magic circle, which itself challenges the traditional concept of "spellcasting".
A slightly excited voice came from the side, interrupting Kamel's thinking: "Master Kamel... we succeeded!"
"Yeah, we succeeded! These elven runes really work according to the structure of the rune knot-interference knot! It's a success!!"
The assistant researchers gathered here. They couldn't help but get excited when they saw the magic circle running stably on the test bench. However, because of Kamel's presence, they didn't dare to directly cheer that the majesty of the great magister was still on It's ingrained in their hearts.
Kamel raised his head, and glanced at the magic researchers wearing short white robes. The white short robes were designed by the lord as "technical personnel's exclusive clothing". Magic assist effect, but wearing this white robe is already the highest honor in the hearts of many magic technicians in the territory. Looking at these excited researchers, he seemed to see those who were with him a thousand years ago Old friends standing in the lab...
The next second, Kamel woke up, and he made a slightly trembling voice: "Yes, it was successful, each of you is doing well, all of this is worth celebrating, I will propose to Dean Jenny, today Have a celebration in the academy tonight!"
The researchers left the laboratory with the excitement of the successful experiment and the anticipation of the evening dinner. Kamel returned to the laboratory table and looked at the other drawings fixed on the shelf next to him.
That is the design drawing of the acceleration track, and some adjustment parameters sent by the lord not long ago.
He didn't know how the lord determined these adjustment parameters, but these parameters were indeed quite effective after preliminary tests. Now that the step of adding air boost to the shells has been completed, the next task is to create the acceleration track.
Kamel has already seen the dawn of success, because the theoretical part of all the drawings has been solved, and in his deduction, these things should not have too many problems in actual tests. The new weapon of the "Crystal Railgun" may soon be turned from a blueprint into a finished product, but compared with this physical cannon plan, his research on directed energy weapons has encountered some troubles.
He is not manned enough.
There are currently only a dozen assistant researchers in the Rune Research Institute, and Jenny has already assigned half of them to him, and the rest of the researchers are following Jenny to do research on interference in the intermediate rune system. It is impossible to move.
The researchers under Kamel's team are going to conduct research and testing on acceleration orbits, shell charges, and fuzes. Although the theoretical parameters are ready, it is not so easy to convert theoretical drawings into actual products. It is foreseeable that in the future, many For a long time, there will be no extra manpower on the research institute side to help him deal with the problem of directed energy weapons. Kamel's own energy is enough, but without assistants, his efficiency is not much higher.
Lack of assistants, this is not the first time that Kamel has worried about this problem, he feels that he must solve this problem, otherwise even if he gets this project done, he will still be short of manpower in the future.
The ancient magister couldn't help but think of the new facility ordered by the lord, the comprehensive research center called the Magic Technology Research Institute. He knew that the research institute was a department that was more inclined to the practical field, with large laboratories and A skilled technician who is good at dealing with practical problems. Strictly speaking, the Magic Technology Research Institute is more suitable for handling his weapon research and development projects, but that research institute has only just broken ground, and it may not be expected in the short term.
What's more, even if the facility is completed, the technicians inside still have a lot of tasks waiting to be done: those are magic technicians, and their work tasks may have already been full.
So where to find a group of assistants
I am afraid that there are not enough intellectuals in the entire territory to be trained as magic technicians... unless we can find a way to introduce another batch of talents.
While thinking, Kamel suddenly remembered a name he heard when chatting with Jenny not long ago.
He left the institute and went straight to Cecil General College, located in the south of the institute.
Santis had just finished the afternoon class. After assigning the children homework to copy runes and recite the basic rules of runes, he packed up his teaching tools and prepared to go back to the dormitory to rest.
The young arcanist was used to life in Cecilland.
Prepare and attend classes every day, explain the mysteries of the magical world to the children, check the students' progress and homework, then get off work, go back to the dormitory, prepare for the next day's lessons, go to the cafeteria at mealtime, and go with the teachers of the college Have a meal, and by the way, discuss and discuss the learning progress of the students. Occasionally, he is helpless by those students with poor grades, but most of the time, he is delighted by the progress of the students. Sometimes some students will bring some gifts, most of which are the snacks they baked at home or from the past. Beautiful stones from the river. The second case is a bit more.
He was overwhelmed at first, but now those beautiful stones filled the windowsill of his dormitory.
Santis loved life in Cecil Land.
There is no intrigue in the king's capital, no suffocating and depressing atmosphere in the mage's tower, no cynicism and crowding out from the upper-level nobles and higher-level magicians, this is a place where he can feel comfortable even though it is located on the border, despite This place is regarded by the lords of the capital as "a barren land that only fools would go to", but Santis feels that there is no place where he can feel more comfortable than here.
Let those gentlemen in the capital keep narrow-mindedness to their heart's content, it would be better if they don't come.
Santis carried his teaching kit under his arm, which contained a drawing kit, a textbook, a lesson plan, and a wooden box of rune "blocks" for demonstration purposes, in addition to the textbook , and the others were all made by himself. He walked out of the main teaching building while looking at the scenery in the college.
The snow that fell in the past few days has been shoveled away by the students and janitors. In this coldest winter season, Cecil College is not deserted: Santis saw that the leaders who came to the night school were gathering in groups of three or four. Walking to another building, those are workers who have just finished work: Since more and more factories in the territory have adopted "literacy and numeracy" as the standard for senior workers, more and more people have taken the initiative to come to night school.
After all, only those who can read and write can easily learn how to operate the machines in the factory, and can understand the complicated work explained by the foreman, and the workers who operate the machines... earn more than those illiterate laborers who can only carry bags and bricks. nearly doubled.
A group of shining arcane light suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and Santis stopped involuntarily.
That is the most powerful spellcaster in the territory of Carmel, a magister from the ancient Gondor Empire.
As a second-level arcanist, and an arcanist who grew up in the circle of magicians in the capital, Santis felt a little nervous subconsciously.
After confirming that the ancient magister was really floating towards him, Santis quickly took a deep breath to calm down, and offered to greet: "Good afternoon, Master Kamel."
"Mr. Santis, we met when the lord took me to visit the academy," Kamel stopped in front of Santis and said straight to the point, "I want to talk to you about something."
"You want to talk to me about something?" Santis froze for a moment, then nodded hastily, "Of course, of course it's no problem, please tell me."
"I need some assistants to help me complete a very important magic subject."
"Ah... ah?" Santis was stunned for a moment, and then he became even more stupefied, "You need an assistant... Then you should be at least a mid-level or even a high-level magician to be eligible to be your apprentice..."
"According to what I know so far, most magicians in this era are idiots. As long as their thinking is fixed, both middle-level and high-level are equally useless to me," Kamel commented unceremoniously, "I I want to ask you, do you still know friends like you in the circle of magicians in your capital?"
(Going out for a while, just got home... )
