To be honest, the communication device created by Kamel and Rebecca and the current degree of completion of this device have greatly exceeded Gao Wen's expectations, not only on the technical level, but also on the design concept.
At the technical level, Gao Wen can already understand. After all, this world has its own unique technical route. Some things that seem unbelievable to him may be just a small trick in the field of magic, and there are ready-made research results of the Eternal Sleeper. Basically, the "advanced functions" of communication devices are actually not difficult to imagine. What really surprised Gao Wen was Kamel's mature design concepts.
This device is not only designed to recognize each other in the network, but also can perform relatively simple "dial-up". It also has the functions of receiving broadcasts and communicating with distant places. In order to ensure its long-distance communication capabilities, Kamel even designed In addition to the plan of using the magic obelisk as a "relay station", this relay station must have included a series of complex functions such as information forwarding, gain, channel management, etc. All of these things were done without any hint from Gawain made.
He couldn't help but praise Kamel's design, and praised him for being able to realize these incredible functions, but he didn't expect that after hearing his praise, Kamel showed disapproval: "Aren't these the most basic requirements for remote communication? "
Gao Wen was taken aback for a moment. After seeing Kamel's reasonable attitude, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into another misunderstanding:
He underestimated the technological level of this world, and at the same time forgot the technological level of the Gondor Empire back then.
The bottom society of this world may be primitive and backward, and the average development level may not be high, but its top level of technology and the level of technology it has had in history... have never fallen behind.
A convenient, cheap, stable and reliable general-purpose communicator may be a new thing in this world, but the communicator itself is not, nor is the communication technology.
As early as the Gondor period, humans had established a general information network throughout the entire empire. Today, the Elven Stars Temple still provides convenient broadcast services for the entire Silver Empire. Even the seemingly backward and dark contemporary Ansu, In a very small range, it is not that there is no advanced holographic video call technology, isn't it the communication technique of the court mage
For those who have been exposed to these technologies, there is no question of "whether there is" some high-tech things, but only a question of "whether they are wide or not".
Of course, Kamel will have a mature design concept because he has used the same advanced things back then.
Gao Wen looked at the magic master quietly, and suddenly realized something in his heart: Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, everything Cecil experienced was a rise, but in the eyes of Kamel, all the things that have happened in this land so far Most of the technological achievements that have emerged can only be regarded as "renaissance".
The revival of human civilization.
Of course, the so-called "mature design concept" is only relative to this era. As a new thing, in Gao Wen's view, the communicator still has a huge room for improvement. , how to ensure that the network is controllable, whether the network can be stable when the number of communication terminals connected to the network becomes quite large, how to solve the problem of insufficient "numbers" after too many communication terminals, and how to calculate "bandwidth" based on magic communication technology , or what is limiting its "bandwidth"... All these details need to be solved slowly in the future.
Gao Wen knew that Kamel and Rebecca must have not thought about these problems, because a large part of these problems will not be exposed until the network scale is large enough and the destructive technology for the network is developed enough, and even It was the Gondor Empire back then. When the empire's information network was the largest, it could not be compared with any national network on earth. Just like the Eternal Sleepers who have just built the mind network, they never imagined that someone would use the brain-computer back door to invade their "Server", Kamel could not have imagined how complex a network containing hundreds of millions of information nodes would be, and what kind of sophisticated design it would require.
But it doesn't matter, these can be taken slowly.
"We should make these things work as soon as possible," Gao Wen turned his head and said to Hetty, "First of all, set up communication stations in the Cecil and Kant areas as soon as possible, at least to ensure the communication of key departments such as government affairs departments at all levels, outposts, and military camps. , and then set up a civilian communication site. There are enough magic obelisks in these two areas, and information transmission should not be a problem. As long as the communication device is in place, contact can be established immediately...
"Afterwards, the first thing to be solved is the communication with the Hossman area. The second-level government affairs hall is being built there. The communication station can ensure that we can keep abreast of the situation there. Hossman has enough magic obelisks in his own country, but Huosman Earl Sman died too early, and he hasn't had time to spread the magic net a bit... Consider setting up a relay point from the Horsman area to the Leslie area, so as to establish a connection with the Lesley area by the way.
"Communication is the top priority, and there must be a dedicated agency to manage it. I have some suggestions about the role of this agency, its basic functions, and its connection with other departments..."
Hetty had already summoned the Evocation Hand at this time, and grabbed a stack of white paper and dip pens on the nearby experimental table, and began to quickly record a lot of things that Gawain clattered. It just hurts...
And Rebecca, who is still hanging on the communicator and has not been disconnected, whispered to Kamel: "Look, my ancestor started again, he seems to have come up with such a lot of matching things a long time ago." Yes, just wait for the real thing to come out and he will give you a set of management plan and application plan in an instant... "
Kamel didn't answer, he just floated quietly next to the communicator. Although no one could see his face, he seemed to be lost in thought at the moment.
On the other hand, although Rebecca tried her best to lower her voice, in fact, all the sounds of her whispering bb fell into Gawain's ears, but Gawain didn't want to trouble the girl: The research field has proved her ability, and it is too late for Gao Wen to reward her now.
After explaining some general issues with Heidi, Gawain turned back and looked at Kamel next to the communicator: "If this device is already working stably, let's arrange a batch of trial production first, or Only when it is actually used can it be concluded what problems it has. Don’t forget to compile a report to me on the newly discovered problems in terms of production cost, manufacturing cycle and difficulty.”
"yes."
After finishing the acceptance of the communicator, Hetty first left the research institute. She wanted to go back to study how the "Information and Communication Department" mentioned by Gao Wen should be established. Rebecca finally hung up the communication with reluctance. It's not enough, but no one on the communicator is paying attention to her...
Gao Wen and Kamel walked in the spacious corridor of the research institute.
"This will change the whole era. You should be able to understand the meaning of that communication device," Gawain said as he walked forward without turning his head, "I think I should build a monument for you."
"For a researcher, being able to explore unknown areas is already the best reward," Kamel shook his head, "We have successfully created the communicator, but in fact we still don't know the whole truth behind it." I know very little... I just know that the vibration of magic power can spread information in the magic field, but I still can't crack the most essential secrets of magic power. I think, only in the process of cracking these truths can I get real rewards. "
"Researchers who go to unknown places..." Gao Wen couldn't help feeling, "This is a great cause."
"Yes, going to the unknown, but researchers are not the only ones going to the unknown," Kamel suddenly stopped, and he turned to Gawain's direction, the arcane light floating on his body became peaceful and bright, " You are also heading into the unknown."
"I?"
"Yes," Kamel said as he continued to float forward, "Many people only think that you are a ruler who is far-sighted or talented, but I can see more things... as a person who is used to advancing in the unknown People, I can see some familiar things from you, you are also challenging some unknown territory, you are trying to create something that this world has never had before, even if the Cecil Territory has developed to this level, It's just the tip of the iceberg of things like this... You remind me of my colleagues in the Rebel Fortress."
Gao Wen didn't expect that Kamel would suddenly express his feelings to himself, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "... This is really an extremely high evaluation."
There seemed to be a little smile in Kamel's voice: "This evaluation is appropriate, my lord."
Gao Wen also smiled, but did not respond. He raised his head, and suddenly saw something on the other side of the wall through a piece of white crystal glass inlaid in the corridor next to him.
There should be a large engineering laboratory of the Magic Technology Research Institute. In the laboratory, Gawain saw a large number of neatly arranged amplifiers and magic net energy receiving devices installed on a metal base, and there were many The slightly curved metal rails, rings, and crystals are placed near the base. It is obviously something that has not been assembled yet, but from the parts that have been completed so far, Gawain can't help but combine it with it. Some kind of "weapon" linked.
"What's that?" Gawain frowned slightly, with a curious look on his face.
"Do you still remember that when we first designed the 'cannon' weapon, we had two simultaneous plans?" Kamel said with a proud tone, "The solid cannon and the arcane pulser principle Energy-gathering weapons."
"Is that the product of the second plan?"
"That's a verification rainbow light device. Of course, it's not usable yet. I'm still trying to solve its most critical heat dissipation problem," Kamel said, "but its main structure has passed the inspection, maybe You will be able to see its power on the battlefield in the near future."
Gao Wen was thoughtful: "... have you used the data you collected on the 'testing ground' on the southern city wall that day?"
"Yes," Kamel said with a strange vibrato of energy, "The sacrifices of those invaders have their own meaning. I hope my research can help you advance in the unknown."
Gawain's gaze fell on the unfinished "Rainbow Device" in the center of the laboratory through the white crystal inlaid on the wall.
Today is really a pleasant day.
