Chapter 1446: Second conversation (1/2)
On the border of Typhon Cecil, in the joint research facility "Fort of the Treaty", a large laboratory is brightly lit. Technicians from Typhon, Cecil, and the Silver Empire are busy in their respective positions, and there are mages watching Looking at the crystal reaction on the central experimental platform, apprentices are in charge of recording the data, and scholars are doing complex calculations and heated discussions nearby. At the center of all this is the one from the Wiplanton Observatory. "Energy Crystal".
Above the platform in the center of the laboratory, only a palm-sized transparent crystal is floating in the air under the action of the anti-gravity field. Many loops composed of runes reciprocate around this crystal in the air. On the surface of the experimental platform, it can Seeing the neatly engraved rune array and the precision crystals inlaid at the nodes of the array, these things together monitor the "energy crystal" the process of releasing energy and self-charging every minute, and it is also the first in the laboratory. Road insurance barrier.
Carmel floated beside the platform and raised his palm in the direction of the crystal. Fragmented arcane lightning split from the front of his arm, precisely stimulating the corresponding mithril synapses on the control nodes near the platform, and the surrounding crystals. The rune array was reordered under his control, and a light curtain slowly swept across the crystal, causing layers of ripples on the surface of the crystal.
"This is an incredible miracle... Although it has been running for an unknown number of years, the energy balance inside this crystal is still so stable, and after we reconstruct the magic circuits connected to it, it has begun to output energy into these circuits. Now..." A low, resonant voice came from Carmel. He made no secret of his respect and praise for another advanced civilization. "Compared with our technology, it is as shallow as the torches and stones in the hands of primitive people. …"
Windsor Mapel was observing the data observed by the crystal resonator. After hearing Carmel's emotions, the legendary Typhon mage raised his head: "This crystal actually feels like'alive' to me. We don’t know what’s going on with the Sailor’s technology. We just reconstructed a magical loop based on the small amount of energy released by this crystal and the remaining rune array from the Wipland Observatory. The new magic circuit hardly responded, but in just a few hours, it underwent some...internal adjustments, actively adapting to the superficial'interface' we prepared for it."
"It will learn, it will actively identify the magic interface connected to it, and it will change its internal structure to match the external connection. It is indeed a dead thing, but as you said, it actually feels like a'live' "Yes," Carmel said after finishing the adjustment of the rune array, taking his hand back, "Perhaps it is precisely because of this'feature' that Sir Scott was trapped in the Wipland Observatory at the time, and they were only in limited conditions. Use this crystal to build a protective barrier under the circumstances."
Windsor Mapel frowned: "Do you think we can... imitate this crystal? Or just restore a certain technology inside?"
"...I'm afraid it won't work, at least not for the time being. Although it is very frustrating to say that, we have not yet reached this level." Kamel shook his head regretfully. "The technology used by this crystal is completely impossible for us. Understandably, over the past many days, the biggest achievement of the research team has only been to record a lot of parameters that we can almost describe as weird, and observe a lot of incredible phenomena. We are still aware of these parameters. I don’t know the principle behind the phenomenon."
Speaking of this, he paused, and his tone changed: "But even so, observing the operation of this crystal is enough to bring us a lot of useful inspiration. Although it is impossible to create something similar to it, at least we are now I have seen how the creation of an advanced civilization works, especially this mechanism of automatic adaptation and learning and matching, which may provide some ideas for our next-generation energy system."
Listening to Carmel's thoughts, Windsor Mapel nodded slightly, but then she showed a look of regret: "Unfortunately, our research on this crystal is about to end early."
She thought of the order sent from Aldernan, the imperial capital, just this morning. Because the "Varner Energy Crystal" might be used to repair the superluminal communication array of the Antavien, the research project of the Fort Contracting has been suspended, and the crystal will be immediately suspended. Handed over to the Deep Sea Kingdom to use.
"I also regret it, but this will benefit the entire alliance. If we can solve the communication problem with aliens, perhaps the fate of the entire world will be rewritten as a result." The arcane brilliance on Carmel surging smoothly, The voice is low, "Moreover, from a certain aspect, the crystal is placed in the fort is a waste. With the current technology, in addition to collecting some data, we can do very little with this crystal, and it is in Antavien. Instead, it may play a bigger role."
"I know this too," Windsor nodded slightly. "Let resources be used in the most efficient manner to ensure the greater interests of all members of the alliance. This is also one of the original intentions of the alliance. But Master Kamel …Do you think this crystal can really solve the problem encountered by the'superluminal communication array'?"
"It can only be said that it is a sea monster who is not sure," Carmel shook his head. "They only know it after they have actually confirmed it."
Windsor Mapel sighed softly, and then his gaze fell on the crystal on the experimental platform again: "General Andesa Wendell will personally come this afternoon to take this crystal away, and the crystal will come later. It was transported to the east coast, where it was handed over with a special envoy from the Deep Sea Kingdom. Before that, let us do the final round of testing."
…
"The'Energy Crystal' matter has been handed over," Amber and Gao Wen reported at the desk the news that had just come from the Contracting Fort and Typhon. The crystal is escorted to the east coast. At the same time, the Deep Sea Kingdom will send a high-speed cargo ship to the east coast to receive it. This can ensure that the crystal is delivered to Antavien in the shortest possible time."
"Well, the next step depends on the efforts of the Kraken technicians. I hope that the energy crystal from the sailor can really come in handy." Gawain rubbed his eyebrows lightly, "but then again. …I thought at first that the Krakens would use the convenient'Elemental Jump' technology to transport crystals. After all, the interference barrier around the continent of Loren has been lifted."
"It is said that the stability of the elemental transition channel is not good and the passage conditions are very harsh. Usually, only objects with water element affinity created by the siren and siren can pass through it to transport the sailor energy crystals. It is very likely that the passage will collapse midway," Amber’s ears trembled, "In fact, I suspect that the siren would like to try it. They have always been interested in fancy death, but the crystal is precious and afraid of breaking it. …"
Gao Wen couldn't help but glanced at Amber twice, and he said that she could sum up the last one, which means that she is already a good friend of the Sea-Monsters...
"Sending the crystal to Antavien is only the first step. Whether it can be used, how to use it, and the specific reconstruction of the main antenna, etc., there are still a lot of things," put the irrelevant thoughts in his mind aside. Gao Wen went on to say, "Before the completion of this renovation project, the communication between us and the'Nuoyi people' still has to rely on the current form of'talking for ten days'."
"Ten days is not necessarily enough," Amber waved his hand. "You have to count the situation where the communication system cannot be used when the Shanghai Demon is upgrading the main antenna."
Gao Wen rubbed his eyebrows again, feeling extremely depressed. Finally he had a way to reach the stars and the truth of the magic tide. However, due to the lack of equipment and hardware, he could only communicate with foreign stars with extremely low efficiency. There was a long wait in the middle. And the irritating hardware damage is maddening, but he still has to be patient, after all...
Now there is only one working superluminal communication system on the entire planet. What else can we do if we wait?
When the irritability in Gawain's heart rose, a slight sound of scales rubbing against the floor suddenly came from the direction of the corridor. Then, the dark oak door of the study was slowly pushed open, Tyre's head Peeked in from the crack of the door: "Are you all there?"
