Chapter 415 Technical Problems Behind the Communicator

A cheap, convenient, stable and reliable long-distance communication method, its role in the process of social development is beyond doubt, especially at the current stage when Gao Wen destroyed the old aristocratic forces in the southern border and began to integrate and build the new southern border. , it is even as important as the guns that can destroy the old aristocracy.

There are many factors restricting social development. For Cecil, whose territory is rapidly expanding and its population is rapidly increasing, the two biggest challenges to maintaining the dominance of the southern border at this stage are transportation and communication, and the ability to transport materials and personnel within the territory. , construction capacity, information flow capacity, the reaction speed of the entire ruling structure, the response effectiveness... These almost all depend on the development of transportation and communication technology.

Excellent transportation can enable the rapid flow of materials and personnel within the territory, production and construction will be guaranteed, commerce will be developed, and the connection between various regions will become closer and not loose. In the event of an emergency, It is also a prerequisite to ensure that the army can quickly rush to the theater, and excellent communication allows the Government Affairs Department to understand the situation in the whole country, ensure timely and smooth information in various regions, and enable the Government Affairs Department to respond to various emergencies. response - and to achieve both, we must rely on the development of technology and productivity.

In Gawain's view, Ansu's system of aristocratic feudalism is a manifestation of backwardness. However, it is the inevitable result of limited transportation and communication technology. The ruler cannot control the situation outside the territory in time, nor can he send troops to the area in the shortest time. Outside this limit area, at the same time, it is difficult for a city's materials to be transported to other cities, and it is also doomed that the nobles will be divided and separated and the city will be the state. In fact, until 557 Ansu, nobles and scholars still adhered to the following wise sayings

The area a lord can effectively rule is the furthest that his knights can reach in three days and nights, and the area he can rule absolutely is the furthest that his wizard advisor can see with eagle eye.

This old saying has been popular in Ansu for hundreds of years, and it didn't change until the summer of 557. A noble mage of the Holy Spirit Plains named "Delta" invented a crystal device that can increase the eagle eye technique and installed it on his own. The top of the mage tower, thus expanding the "absolute rule area" of the lord.

In the following ten years, again under the suggestion of this visionary noble mage, the Ansu royal family started construction in 567, with the city of Saint Sunil as the center point, the east, west, north and south crosses running through the entire Holy Spirit Plain, and extending to four The "Kingdom Avenue" (also known as the Cross Artery) within the territory of the country has greatly strengthened the control of the royal family over the country, and the upper-class nobles in various places have followed suit and built a series of roads within their respective territories. Coupled with the successful breeding of the new species "White Feather" Griffin and the emergence of the "Messenger Passage Act" in the same period, the transportation and communication conditions in Ansu have greatly developed, and the nobles' ability to rule over the territory and the royal family over the country has moved forward. a big step.

But in these developments, the centuries-old system of aristocratic feudal feudalism has shown its strong inertia. Except for the Kingdom Avenue, almost all road constructions in Ansu are still fragmented by the enfeoffed territories. Whether it is the road standard or the carriage and horse specification, there is almost no continuity between the different noble lands.

The griffin messenger is also regarded as a symbol of the glory of the nobility (and the cost cannot be reduced), and it has never been developed to the stage of popularization. The benefits brought by the strengthening of the ruling power in the territory, on the one hand, they instinctively refuse to continue to develop these things and affect their absolute authority over their own fiefs.

Originally, if there was enough time, the day of breaking the game would appear sooner or later. The old nobles could not stop the society from moving forward forever, but unfortunately, before the Kingdom Avenue could be repaired to the border, Ansu ushered in the foggy month civil strife.

Therefore, today's Ansu still has to rely on the way the king can appoint vassals and vassals to maintain order. Even due to the huge loss of Ansu's national strength due to the civil strife in the foggy moon, the remaining nobles in various places are almost unable to maintain the roads. " The number of white-feathered griffins also dwindled sharply during the war, and Ansu's traffic and communications were almost degraded to the state they were before 557.

To make matters worse, the nobles and the royal family of the Second Dynasty, who had experienced the Bummoon Civil War, still remember the horrific scene of the coalition forces from all over the country hitting the Holy Spirit Plain through the Kingdom Avenue. The road of the lords has become a hidden danger for the lords to sleep and sleep, and the post-war nobles have to retreat to protect themselves due to the population decline and the chaotic situation. This negative and degraded attitude has even continued to this day.

It was not until Ansu 735 that an ancestor who rose from the coffin jumped out, with the authority of the founding ancestors, with millions of years of experience from two people and one star, and with disdain for the traditional aristocratic system. Gu, in the most unreasonable way, starts to build his new Cecil situation.

Looking at the communication device that was still in the verification stage in front of him, what appeared in Gao Wen's mind was not only the communication device, but also a well-ordered road connecting all parts of the southern border, and even all parts of Ansu.

Transportation and communication, the former he has cement and all kinds of magic machinery that are developing rapidly, the latter, he has finally seen the results of the hard work of Carmel and Rebecca, these two troubles all rulers. Problems seem to have solutions.

"The current communication device uses a hybrid rune grouping - most of its rune groups are derived from the technology of the Eternal Sleeper, but the generation and control of the magic shock is still the way of traditional communication spells," Card Meier floated beside the communication device, explaining some technical details of the device to Gawain, "Unfortunately, we still haven't been able to understand how the Eternal Sleeper Network transmits signals in the 'primitive magic field' of nature, So the device currently only operates within the coverage of a standard magic field."

Gawain was quite interested in these technical details. "Standard magic field... within the range of the magic obelisk?"

"Yes, the standard magic field generated by the magic obelisk is like the 'lake surface' you describe, and the ripples generated by the communicator spread in the magic field, from a magic obelisk to another obelisk, so we can call this type of communication 'magic communication'," explained Kamel, "I've found one that uses the magic obelisk as a 'relay' for continuous transmission The signal scheme has been successful in a small range, but the specific effect after the transmission distance is increased remains to be verified..."

"How are these communication devices paired or identified?" Gawain asked again, "If I have a hundred of these devices scattered all over the place, how can I use one of the devices to accurately contact another specific device?"

This is also a question Gawain is curious about - the communicator made by Kamel is very different from traditional communication magic or the magnificent wall of elves. It is a combination of communication and eternal sleeper technology, and its communication The medium is the "standard magic field" generated by the magic obelisk, which is still relatively sophisticated technology. From the perspective of its working principle, it is more like an indiscriminate "broadcast" device. Broadcast its own signal so that all similar devices can listen to it. If there is no matching pairing or identification method, all signals will be broadcast publicly without encryption, and the entire magic field will become an extremely chaotic pot of porridge. It is difficult to realize the "communication network" function required by Gao Wen.

"We made reference to the technology of the ancient Gondor period," Carmel seemed to have expected Gawain to have this question, he answered immediately, and his tone was quite proud, "You are also from the Empire, you should know that the The Imperial Information Network - it has been running since the age of sparks."

Gawain nodded, talking about the knowledge he had just extracted from his memory, "Oh, I do know this. When I was a knight apprentice, I often listened to the opera broadcast by the imperial capital at my tutor's house. I remember that the device not only can You can receive broadcasts and talk to people far away in the imperial capital. At that time, only nobles or big businessmen would have a 'dark blue terminal', but compared to this era, that's an incredible penetration rate."

Before Carmel could speak, she heard Rebecca's voice coming from the communicator (she never hung up, and kept making faces while Gawain and Carmel were chatting) "Wow! Is this kind of communication device so common?"

"Comparing the number of communication techniques and communication devices now... the communication technology of the Gondor people was indeed like a miracle," Carmel sighed softly, and then continued, "I added a 'resonance' to this device. Structure, only the signals that meet the resonance conditions can be transmitted between devices. In order to achieve this resonance, I used the four basic runes of the wind system and the four basic runes without attributes, and put these eight runes into After the chaos, they are randomly arranged on a board with three times three empty slots. They do not form any rune knots, nor do they have any spell effects, but according to the principle of mana resonance, when another rune group with the same regular arrangement participates in the When the magic power vibrates, this 'resonance substrate' will have the same reaction..."

Having said this, Camel paused, as if to give Gawain and Hetty some time to calculate and think, and then continued, "Eight runes have a large number of arrangements and combinations on the three-by-three substrate, and using When one device calls another device, it only needs to use a rune trigger group similar to the 'laboratory palette' to easily combine the rune structure of the calling target. I just controlled it directly with my own magic power After this process, if ordinary people use it, the rune trigger group is here, and the side of the device is here..."

"Dialing, we can call this process dialing," Gawain felt that Carmel used a lot of ancient Gondor terms and modern magic terms to explain this simple process is too complicated, and said simply, "In addition, eight Runes we can number them from zero to seven, so that each communication device has a specific string of numbers to identify it, and the person using the communication device can 'dial' more easily. After all , it is easier to memorize numbers than runes, and numbers are more suitable for registering in tables than runes."

Whether it's Carmel or Hetty, or Rebecca on the opposite side of the communicator, everyone seems to be sympathetic to Gawain's "as soon as something new comes out, he immediately acts as if he's been experienced for years" Behaving as usual, everyone accepted the suggestion indifferently.

To be honest, Gawain is not used to it...
