Chapter 1170： Plan ahead (1/2)

Make expensive things cheap, make rare things popular, and make unreliable things stable and controllable—the reason why magic technology can change the way the whole world works in this era is the biggest reliance on this.

The elves have a temple of stars. Over the past thousands of years, that never-falling sky fortress has been the greatest guarantee for the Silver Empire to disregard the nations, although due to the aging of the temple itself, its deterrence can only be limited. In the southern part of the continent, as long as the fortress is still floating in the sky for a day, most countries on the Loren continent can only look up and awe at it-this has nothing to do with whether the elves themselves "abide by peace and neutrality", but by their overwhelming strength. The inevitable situation caused.

In the current international situation, Gawain and his entire ruling team do not intend to make Cecil a hegemonic empire, but even so, he still hopes to make a breakthrough in the empire’s air power, the sky fortress in the hands of the elves. It is an extremely attractive and practical target, even if it is not considered from the perspective of military deterrence, this kind of flying fortress that can operate at high altitudes for a long time, has strong protective forces, and can provide reliable protection for expeditionary units Long-term plans are also extremely important:

Counterattack the wasteland.

There is only one Temple of the Stars, and due to power and maintenance issues, it cannot be too far away from the Silver Empire. It is unrealistic to expect it to become the main force in the counter-offensive wasteland, but the threat of the wasteland is there, and the hidden dangers inside are increasing day by day , People living around the wasteland must find other ways to ensure their own safety. Using the unique advantages of Magic Wizard technology to try to create a mass-produced Magic Wizard version of the aerospace fortress, to accumulate power for the future counterattack of wasteland, this is the plan made by Gao Wen-one of many plans.

But it is not easy to realize such a bold project, even if it has a cheating-like test system with acceleration and full-real simulation like Origin Lab, it has a lot of technical support provided by the wizard, plus convenient magic assistance and relatively mature With anti-gravity technology, it is not so easy to create humanity's own "Sanctuary of Stars"-this is not just as simple as an oversized "dragman".

Rebecca's attention returned to the sketch in front of her. Her eyes moved slowly between the regularly arranged anti-gravity devices and the dynamic ridges. As she thought about it, she murmured: "The biggest we have encountered so far There are two problems... One is the magical shock and resonance damage caused by a large number of anti-gravity rings running in the same system at the same time. Last time we used the Dragoon’s anti-gravity ring to test the machine, it directly burned all the test devices. After blowing up the entire platform, there is now a solution to this problem, which is to add an isolation layer and an energy dissipating device between the power ridge and the energy-consuming unit. Whether it is effective or not depends on the next test.

"The second problem is how to integrate such a huge system effectively, so that all parts of the system can work together-the scale we designed is too large, the structure is too complicated, and the magic that works together under the same magic system The number of guiding devices is astonishing, and there are at least a dozen antigravity rings, and these things are still interrelated...If there is a problem with the coordination, it may be shut down. The sky fortress is something that needs to fly in the sky. Vehicles and boats are different, and the system shuts down and falls..."

"That's why we need an'operation center'," Marin Leslie nodded and said, "This operation center can sense the status of all systems in the entire fort for the first time, and can efficiently control each part, considering that The scale of the overall system of the aerospace fortress, the complexity of this operation center will exceed the limits of our current control technologies-even if it is barely built, I am afraid that few people in the world can actually operate it..."

"That's why I said that the servo brain and the wetware host are good things, although the ancestors always think that they are not good enough," Rebecca laughed, "There is nothing more suitable for commanding such a large and complex network than a neural network. System, I very much agree with what Mr. Dan said-the most beautiful creation created by life is machinery, and the most beautiful machinery is life itself. Wetware hosts and neural networks can break the relationship between machinery and living organisms. As long as the nerve cable can cover the entire system, the control problem of the aerospace fortress will not be a problem. Next, we will consider how to transform and upgrade the verified system from Gülen Heavy Industries and put it in our blueprint..."

"In the final analysis, this idea also refers to the elves' temple of stars," Marin Leslie exclaimed with a complicated expression, "I heard that the control technology of their'temple' is also somewhat similar in nature. Neural network stuff..."

"That's different," Rebecca immediately shook her head, "The wetware host does not account for the population. At most, it costs a little sugar-the Queen of the Temple Fees of the Silver Elves."

Marin Leslie’s expression was a bit weird for a moment: "Your statement is a bit..."

"I'm not talking nonsense again," Rebecca knocked on the table solemnly. "I talked to Queen Bersetia last time. She said that after sitting on the seat of dominance, people will become part of the machine. Concentrate on controlling the system, and the selection of operators is also extremely demanding. First of all, they must be members of the Royal Family of Morningstar, or they must not pass the biometric authentication. Secondly, there must be some synchronization rate and so on... The synchronization rate cannot go up. The efficiency of the temple has declined. What is the difference between the old magician who relied on talent to cast spells and the magic props that required the ability to cast spells?"

Speaking of this, Rebecca clasped her hands on her chest, and made a serious judgment: "So in my opinion, the elves’ temple of stars is flawed from the root--even if the elves fix it, that thing will sooner or later It is also a constraint. If the Silver Empire wants to develop, sooner or later, it has to find a way to get rid of this "antique heritage" that is full of problems. What does the ancestor say? What does it mean to break and then stand up? ...Anyway, I think the Silver Empire needs this'breaking' process now."

"Um... you were right, but I didn't mean it just now... Forget it, you were right." Marin Leslie coughed awkwardly, and touched the non-existent top of his head. Sweat, the princess in front of her has always had a wonderful way of speaking. Some traditional people like herself can't help feeling extra pressure when they accidentally talk to her about certain "upper topics". He even doubts himself. At least half of his hair was lost when chatting with this highness.

Rebecca didn't seem to notice that she was putting new pressure on the reliable subordinate in front of her. Her attention was attracted by Marin's movements, and she looked up and was a little surprised: "Hey, Ma Lin, your hair is missing again?"

"This...Thank you for your concern," Malin said with an awkward expression for an instant, touching the tip of his nose, "Actually, it's okay, after all...you should understand..."

"Ah, then I suggest you ask Pittman for help. He seems to be studying alchemy ointment for hair growth recently-although I don't know who will ask him to order that ointment every few days, you can just try it, he Although sometimes the ointment of the company has no effect, I have not heard of any serious side effects..."

"Thank you, I will think about it." The embarrassment on Marin's face was almost overflowing, and he began to think desperately about what to say to divert the attention of the princess, so that this topic could pass quickly, but luckily it was in him Before she spoke, Rebecca had already put aside the topic-as usual, her attention was always jumping around all kinds of things quickly, when Marin kept touching the tip of her nose and standing restlessly, she was already Standing up from behind the large desk, he came to a French window not far away.

Rebecca looked out of the French window.

That is the deepest part of the entire facility, and it is also an area with extremely high confidentiality. The entire administrative area can only be directly seen from the window of her office—the huge enclosed space, illuminated by high-powered magic spar lights. The wide assembly platform and the steel support structure erected vertically and horizontally are illuminated. The cold light and shadow are outlined under the searchlights. Between the huge platforms and the supporting structures, you can see the unfinished anti-gravity ring, the giant welding Power ridges, movable obelisks of magic energy, busy construction vehicles, and countless workers and technicians busy among giant components.
