Chapter 1459： Two options (1/2)
Another breeze blew across the courtyard, and the cold air current refreshed people's spirits.
The first snow of this winter has not yet arrived, but the mages who observed the astronomical phenomena predicted that this morning will usher in a light snow; not far away, the evergreen trees swayed slightly in the wind, and the light rustling sound was transmitted from time to time. Come; on the second-floor balcony opposite the garden, His Royal Highness the Archon of the Empire and His Royal Highness are standing next to the window with their heads low; in the sunny courtyard, Betty in winter clothes is standing quietly next to the trolley, in the breeze A faint smile appeared in it.
Everything here falls in Enya's "eyes". The quiet and daily sight seems to have quietly evoked some very, very old, yellowish and faded impressions in her memory, which may have been made by Tarrond millions of years ago. A certain courtyard, it may be a certain afternoon when the dragon civilization is still ignorantly developing in the lofty mountains, or it may be just a fragment she saw in a certain believer’s dream. She laughed, and her voice was gentle and calm: "You Do you like this day?"
"Like it," Betty replied without hesitation, "There is no better day than this."
"Yeah... there is no better day than this. Today's sunshine is also the best in this period of time," Enya said softly, the sun shining on her gleaming golden shell, the two rays of light merged together. The place rippled gently like water ripples, "But it's about to snow, and today's sunshine may be short."
In the distant horizon, a little lead-gray cloud layer appeared quietly at this moment, and it was gathering in the direction of the city little by little. It seemed that the first snow of this winter was calculated by the mages responsible for predicting the astronomical phenomenon. Coming soon.
Betty blinked and looked at Enya with some confusion: "Are you saying something very philosophical?"
Enya was curious: "Oh? Why do you say that?"
"Miss Amber told me that if a big person suddenly turns to something else while talking about something very normal, and seems to sigh with a little bit of exclamation, then he is speaking very philosophical things," Betty replied seriously. , "Although I didn't quite understand it at the time, I think you seemed to be saying something very philosophical just now."
"...I'm just sighing about the weather," Enya laughed. The laughter sounded particularly pleasant. "It's very comfortable to bask in the sun, but occasionally blowing cold wind in the snow feels good, but you have to be careful not to catch a cold. ."
"Don't worry!" Betty immediately patted her chest, and said with pride, "My body is strong, and I have not been ill for two consecutive years. Your Majesty said that I have nutrition to keep up..."
Enya just chuckled, her "gaze" cast towards the sky, and then she seemed to feel something. Her attention fell on a certain position on the horizon, which was pointing to the Frost Sky Constellation, and she thoughtfully "watched "Looking at the sky, it seemed to hear a distant sound, and in the long silence that followed, a piece of snow finally quietly fell from the sky.
This is Cecil's first snow in the winter of 4 years, and it came a bit earlier than in previous years.
An emergency meeting invitation was sent from Cecil to the countries of the alliance.
In the wasteland war not long ago, modern communication technology and the amazing role played by the "Alliance One" proved to everyone the power of the "Magic Age" brought by Gawain Cecil, even before The most closed and backward small countries also realized the changes of the times and the need to keep up with the changes in that war. With the end of the war, the most important step in the post-war reconstruction of all countries was to give priority to the establishment of The communication system of modern magic technology Of course, considering the limitations of realistic conditions, it is impossible for every country to achieve magic net coverage in a short time, but at least, all countries have achieved as much as possible. The country's highest authority "communicates with the network" with other countries of the alliance.
Compared with the national communication network that requires a large amount of basic engineering support, it is not unrealistic to pull a dedicated line from the capitals of various countries to the main network of Cecil’s magic network. Now, these can connect the heads of the alliance member states. When the "dedicated line" together comes into play
On the eve of nightfall, Gawain came to the large conference room on the top floor of the Supreme Government Office. This conference room was quite wide, with a huge circular conference table in the center. The layout of the tables and chairs was almost completely in accordance with the on-site seats of the Alliance Summit. Come to arrange, and at this moment, most of the seats are empty, except that a Mowang terminal in standby mode is placed on each seat.
Gao Wen stepped to his place. He glanced at the file on the table. It was the plan of the magic tide observation device. Then he glanced at the time displayed by the mechanical clock on the opposite wall. There are thirty seconds.
He sat down on the chair. After a while, the low buzzing sound and the slight click of the rune trigger automatically closed sounded everywhere. Suddenly flashing projections appeared one after another around the empty circular conference table. The magic illusion was a little fuzzy at first, but soon with the assistance of the extra computing power provided by the Empire Computing Center, these distant signals were strengthened and filtered, and clear figures emerged from the magic illusion.
That was dozens of alliance leaders including Rosetta, Bersetia, Wenna Baizhi and others.
The entire empty meeting room was suddenly "full of people". Some of them were heads of state attending this kind of meeting for the first time. They looked around in surprise. Obviously, there were similar holographic images on the "their side" scene. Formed an immersive meeting place. Although magic illusions are not uncommon to anyone in this world, relying on large-scale equipment to achieve this kind of "remote meeting" is still a novel experience for them.
For those participants who have used Magic Net terminals for remote meetings and have a better understanding of Magic Guide technology, their performance seemed quite indifferent. Several lines of sight fell on the leaders of the three empires. Simple After greetings, Gawain first glanced at the dragon ambassador on his left, Merita Penya, and got up to break the silence: "First of all, since the communication line on the Talrond side has not yet been set up, this time the giant dragon ambassador The representative of the Dragon Kingdom is still the plenipotentiary ambassador, Miss Merita Penia.
"Secondly, thank you all for responding to this convening. We have limited time now, so let's go directly to the topic. What we are going to discuss today is the plan for establishing a demonic wave observation device."
The holographic projections at the conference table exchanged their sights. In fact, the information on this aspect has been sent to everyone’s desk first. Therefore, the participants were not surprised by what was going to be discussed today. It was just because of time. It's really urgent. This prevents everyone from having the opportunity to communicate and exchange opinions privately before the meeting as they are accustomed to, and they don't even have enough time to discuss with their own advisory group. They seem quite unaccustomed to this.
But whether they are used to it or not, the magic wave will not worry about the pace of action of mortals to slow down. In the face of that cold and ruthless countdown, all the old red tape and table rules must be compromised in efficiency.
"We have already seen the information you sent," said Rosetta Augustus. "From the information, if we want to build an observation device from scratch completely relying on existing technology, it will be successful The rate will be very low, and it will take a long time and huge manpower and resource costs?"
