It was not Gao Wen's whim to establish a professional research facility like the Magic Technology Research Institute, which is different from traditional magic laboratories. In fact, this plan has been brewing in his mind for a long time, and today he just found an opportunity Just say it.
Since the construction of the territory, the infrastructure has been perfected day by day. It is no longer a critical issue to maintain the survival of the people and ensure the security of the territory. The industrial foundation of the territory has also been established step by step from scratch during this construction process, but While everything was developing rapidly, there was one thing that gradually became the most worrying part of Gao Wen: research and development.
The territory is not without R&D personnel Jenny, Rebecca, Kamel, a team of magic technicians transferred from rune craftsmen, and even Hetty, who has gradually shifted his focus to internal affairs, and Gawain, who is the lord, can do it. It can be regarded as "technical personnel", but it is not enough to have a group of people, and a supporting research and development system must be established. This system must conform to the characteristics of the emerging thing "magic industry".
Neither the traditional magic laboratory nor the craftsman-apprentice workshop mode meets this requirement.
The Rune Research Institute established before this is a step for Gao Wen to establish a research and development system, but it is not all. According to Gao Wen's estimation of the future of rune logic and his judgment on Jenny's personal ability, he believes that the future of the Rune Research Institute The direction of development should be more theoretical. Although the current magic circle simplification project is directly connected to the "rune substrate design and production" link in the territory, as Jenny's research in this field continues to deepen, with Kamai Er's research on the nature of magic is in line with Jenny's research. Sooner or later, runic logic will enter a purer field that relies on mathematical tools and logical derivations to explore truth.
The Institute of Magical Technology is Gao Wen's second step: a research and development institution that is more oriented to the practical field and can incorporate the emerging profession of "magician" in the current territory into the standard.
The "magic technician" in Cecil's territory is an unprecedented new profession. Most of them come from rune craftsmen, and some of them are transferred and trained by down-and-out scholars and recruited mage apprentices. They can be said to be At present, except for a few top technicians, there are the most elite technicians in the territory, but even the most elite technicians, there is no place for these people in the traditional magic laboratory, and they cannot participate in research and development. Great waste.
So he wants to establish a "new order" that allows those who do not have magical talent but have magical knowledge to participate in research and development.
Only when the source of "research and development" is also open to ordinary people without magical talents, can Gao Wen's "magic popularization" plan be considered a real success, otherwise it is just to allow ordinary people to use magic devices, which is not considered to be a solution at all. Breaking the shackles of "magic talent".
Of course, it is not the best choice to generally divide the two academic fields of theory and application and set up two facilities to conduct them separately, but this is not the final form of the research and development system of the "Magic Industry Era" envisioned by Gao Wen. Now it is just building a simple and fast framework according to the actual situation of the territory. When the development level increases, these frameworks will naturally need to be adjusted.
He took advantage of the opportunity in front of him to speak out his thoughts slowly, while Hetty and Rebecca listened carefully to the side. As far as it is concerned, it can be understood as long as you listen carefully.
After listening to Gao Wen's description, Hetty is interested in the kind of one or several teams who can overcome technical difficulties in an orderly and targeted manner, and anyone with sufficient knowledge can participate in the research of any magic project. The prospect was greatly shocked. As a mage who grew up with traditional education, she never thought that the "laboratory" could still work like this, but she was also a little worried after being shocked: "Ancestor, your idea is indeed true. It's… desirable, but you confirm that Rebecca can…”
"I can do it!" Before Hetty finished speaking, Rebecca raised her hand hastily, "I can do it!"
"Have more confidence in Rebecca," Gao Wen stroked Rebecca's hair with a smile, and then looked at Hetty with a smile, "I know she has a lot of troubles for you, but you also have to see her What’s more, the heir of the Cecil family, the head of the magic technology department, how can he not even have a laboratory of his own! It’s a joke to say it.”
Rebecca's eyes sparkled: "Master Ancestor..."
Gao Wen didn't wait for the other party to be moved, and said immediately: "But the ugly words have to be said first. If you really blow up the magic laboratory, you will have to be responsible for rebuilding or cleaning up the aftermath."
Rebecca: "... oh."
After finishing talking about the establishment of the Institute of Magic Technology, Gawain and Hetty asked about Rebecca's current physical condition, and confirmed that the girl had fully recovered after waking up, which made Gawain uneasy. Sheng felt that he was a brat who could go to the forest to fight with wolves before he became an adult. His physical fitness is so strong that a mentally overloaded person would be fine after a night of sleep. magic free...
After confirming that she would not be knocked today, and even got a laboratory of her own, Rebecca turned over and sat up on the bed, "I'm going to get up, I feel uncomfortable all over after lying down for so long."
Her vitality is always so full.
Gawain stood up from the bed with a smile. Out of the corner of his eye, he once again saw the manuscript paper and calculation formulas that Rebecca had pasted on the vanity mirror, and the content on them suddenly aroused his interest: "Speaking of...these things are yours. What have you been researching recently? Shouldn’t you be busy designing a detection-type auxiliary magic circle for use on tactical helmets?”
"Ah, that part is almost finished. I'm going to put the effect of detecting distortion spells on the lenses made of white crystal, and there are only a few small problems in the processing technology." Rebecca waved her hand, and then pointed to the makeup The draft on the mirror, "These are the things that Jenny has been studying recently. I saw these things and thought they were very interesting, so I copied a copy and calculated them myself. But... these things are unexpectedly difficult."
Gao Wen frowned and looked at those things. He saw strange curves and piles of data listed. Those things seemed to be not just calculation processes, but also a large number of measured parameters, but those parameters were really complicated. , and various, far surpassing the mathematical expressions of interference knots and rune knots he saw in Jenny's rune logic materials.
He couldn't help asking: "What is this?"
"It is said that Master Kamel took it to the Rune Research Institute," Rebecca scratched her hair that was a little messy due to sleep (this indecent gesture was glared at by Hetty), "it was in the Obelisk of Magic Energy After starting, the fluctuating frequency and attenuation data of the surrounding magic field, as well as the frequency of magic in the normal natural environment, and many parameters in the superposition area of the two magic fields, Jenny wants to find out the law from this, and find the In the case of known parameters, it is possible to accurately describe the strength, attenuation, frequency and other data of the magic field at any point... method, and it is also possible to accurately calculate the distribution of the magic field after the superposition of each other produces distortion... Ah, you have to find The distribution model of the magic field in three-dimensional space... To be honest, neither she nor I have a clue now."
The more Gao Wen listened, the more surprised he became, and at the end he couldn't help muttering to himself: "Has she already reached this point..."
"Master Ancestor, this question is really difficult!" Rebecca didn't hear Gawain talking to herself, but she felt emotional, "It's different from the fixed data of interference knots and rune knots. The field is something that is constantly changing. The frequency can be changed, and the strength will attenuate with the distance. It will interact with the original magic power in the natural environment. After the two magic power fields are superimposed, the situation is several times more complicated, and it cannot be calculated at all. ... But Jenny said that these things must be clarified, otherwise this technology will develop to a bottleneck in the future and we will not know what is going on... "
Gao Wen couldn't help but rubbed between his brows. He noticed that there was a special calculation paper in the middle of the manuscripts, which depicted a series of curves and formulas related to the curves. Such things made him slightly stunned: "This It's you and Jenny..."
"Ah, this is not, this is what Master Kamel taught us," Rebecca quickly explained, "Master Kamel said that this is the magisters of the ancient Gondor Empire who calculated the 'arcane magic' similar to the magic field." The calculation method used in the "distortion effect" can be described by numbers. Master Kamel said that this will help solve the problem of the magic field, but Jenny and I are not quite... "
Gawain looked at the content on the paper in surprise. He didn't hear the last half of Rebecca's words, but muttered to himself: "It turns out that the magisters in the Gondor period... already knew how to use functions?"
"Fan... what?" Rebecca was stunned for a moment, apparently what Kamel told her was not the word, "Master Kamel said this is called 'genetic change'..."
"Ah no, it's nothing, just change the style because of the generation." Gao Wen exhaled softly, slowly calming down the surprise in his heart.
You shouldn't be so surprised, and you don't need to be so surprised, it's just as it should be. Although the magicians in this world have gone astray in the process of studying the mysteries of magic, and began to blindly pursue the strength of personal power and the improvement of magic skills, this It doesn't mean that they can only cast spells violently. In fact, even for the most traditional classical mages, mathematical tools are indispensable. They need mathematical assistance to draw magic circles and adjust their spell models, or "Calculation" has always been a compulsory course for mages in preparing potions and making magic props. This is true in contemporary times, and of course it was even more so in the ancient Gondor Empire.
It's just that "calculation" has never been popularized, and it has not been developed to a higher level. For the current mages, the current mathematical tools are completely sufficient.
The Gondor Empire once had the opportunity to build the edifice of mathematics, but that powerful empire failed to break through the shackles of "the extraordinary belongs to the extraordinary". It is a pity that precious knowledge perishes with waves of imperial elites.
But it doesn't matter, don't be afraid if it doesn't develop. With this foundation, the situation is much better than Gao Wen expected.
Rebecca's stupid... The head of a smart roe deer seems to be enough.
Gao Wen looked at his great-great-great-granddaughter, and suddenly showed a heart-warming smile. Facing such a young girl who yearns for knowledge, he decided to be a generous and good grandfather:
"Rebecca, have you ever heard of this wonderful thing that fell from the sky... ah no, it's called calculus?"
