The principle mentioned by Pittman is actually not complicated. The connection between the magic array and the magic array is actually a "frequency-conversion compatibility" process in Gao Wen's understanding.

Although the two have different structures, the rune system and the effectiveness mechanism are also different, the magic array and the magic array are essentially a system that consumes magic power-generating effects (the energy-gathering array like the magic network actually does not produce magic power. It only concentrates and compresses the discrete magic power originally found in nature, and it also has its own waste energy loss in the process). Such a system is inherently connected: as long as you find a suitable transfer path, you can.

Generally speaking, elemental runes and divine runes cannot be compatible with each other. The only result of forced substitution is that spells are out of control. Those priests interpret it as the supreme gods, so the power given by gods is also higher than that of spells used by mortals. Low-level spells naturally cannot be compatible with advanced divine magic. However, in Gao Wen's speculation, he believed that this was just that the compatibility between the two was high, or that the "same frequency area was too narrow."

He made this speculation not for no reason, but because of the historical facts of the transformation of the druid magic into magic, as well as the reasonable conjectures that arise after the discovery of mixed magic circles in the ruins in the mountains, the facts now prove that his guess is correct.

The so-called power of gods is not higher than magic power, but the connection between magic runes and elemental runes is not as easy as connecting elemental runes. Without theoretical guidance, finding the correct arrangement and combination method in the vast number of runes is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, scholars believe that these two systems cannot be compatible.

The Gondor magicians a thousand years ago seemed to have caught this "needle".

The druid's magic technique has been lost. After the energy source from the gods' "gift" disappeared, they had to absorb magic power from nature to perform their former "divine art". The magic technique turned into magic in this process. The magic array gradually became an invalid historical relics because they failed to find a reasonable way to transform. However, the "interface" found by Pittman made the ancient abandoned magic array possible to re-operate. In Gao Wen's view, the mysterious veil of the magic array was revealed at this moment.

It is actually a magic array, and the sacred runes are actually some kind of special magic runes (independent from the elemental rune system), but its energy cannot be directly obtained from nature, but requires a layer of "filtering" or "transformation" to be used. The inverter array is the key to this transformation.

Gao Wen's ideas expanded and he thought of those mysterious gods. What roles did the gods play in this process?

They...maybe they were the first and largest inverter array.

The gods purified, extracted, and transformed the original basic energy of nature into so-called "upper energy" that can release divine arts, such as the power of nature, holy light, war power, etc., and then used strict doctrines as the "authorization standard" to allow those mortals who perform religious rituals to borrow these converted secondary energy from them. If placed on the earth, it is equivalent to an advanced country monopolizing all first-level resources such as fossil fuels, solar energy, wind energy, etc., as well as corresponding power generation technology, and then converting these resources into electricity and outputting them to a primitive country. The latter will enter the power era in one fell swoop, but as long as they cannot find a way to generate electricity, they will be stuck in this state forever, living a life of lights and telephones on the surface, but in fact, primitive backwardness.

Because they lack the most important "conversion link" technology in the middle.

There is only one intelligent race of humans on earth, and the gap between people is limited, so this monopoly is difficult to achieve. However, in this world, the gods have power far beyond the imagination of mortals and they successfully carried out this monopoly.

The "Fallen White Star" three thousand years ago was the beginning of breaking the monopoly. On that day, the God of Nature worshipped by the druid disappeared for some reason, so the authority to purify the natural divine power was lifted. The mortals gained the ability to release natural magic, while the magicians who studied the flesh and blood of the gods in the Dark Mountains a thousand years ago further broke the monopoly. They used a more radical way to try to bypass the "permission lock" set by the gods and succeeded.

However, the overall monopoly has not been broken. The gods in the world are still there, and mortals can only pray from the gods to obtain the corresponding divine power, but the key to breaking the monopoly is already in the hands of Gao Wen.

"Do you know what this 'inverter array' means?" Gao Wen calmed down, and he asked at Pitman with a steady look.

The old druid smiled: "I know, to be honest, I'm quite proud."

"The churches of the whole world will regard us as mortal enemies," said Gao Wen slowly. "Ninety percent of the clergy will bite us."

Pitman blinked, with a hint of cunning revealing in his eyes: "Not only those priests, but also the 'gods' behind them."

Yes, there are the gods behind them.

Although the eternal stone slab revealed the news that "the gods are dead", the fact that the power of the world is still there cannot be argued. Gao Wen has to be wary of the "gods" hidden behind the scenes, are they resurrected gods? Or some kind of "user" who takes advantage of the emptiness of the gods to take the opportunity to take over? No matter what is responding to the prayers of mortals, they may not be happy to see their monopoly broken.

"Don't use inverter array technology on any divine art array outside the druid system for the time being." Gao Wen said seriously.

He didn't know how bright the eyes of the gods were, so he could only assume that even if they were pulled out a hair, they would jump up.

"I understand." Pitman nodded. He obviously didn't dare to do anything randomly in this regard.

"We need to package this technology," Gao Wen took a breath and continued, "This is an attempt to transform druid magic into a 'magic array'. Due to the origin of druid magic, there will naturally be ancient magic symbols in the magic array. This is natural, do you understand?"

"Of course, I'm just a low-level druid, and how can I know how to steal divine power?" Pittman stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes. "I just copied the ancient druid magic array from the book, and then connected the magic net to mess around. As for the so-called inverted runes... With the heads of most spellcasters and clergymen in this era, they only pay attention to whether this thing can be used, who cares about what principle it is and what function it is!"

Gao Wen heard from Pittman's tone that he was deeply contempt and even a little resentment towards the traditional spellcaster. He knew that there must be a story here, but he just looked at the other party deeply and did not continue to ask.

He nodded: "These concealment statements are just in case. As long as we keep the technology confidential, we don't have to worry about the danger that will happen after these leaks. Today, only the three of us are present. Before I think the time is ripe, only we know this secret. At most, the core technical personnel who will be added in the future will know, do you understand?"

Pitman nodded slightly, and Amber suddenly glanced at Gao Wen in horror: "You won't want to kill me to silence me, are you?"

Gao Wen tapped the half-elf's head casually: "Is there a bit of normal operation in your mind?"

"Oh my god, isn't it normal to kill someone and silence him?"

Gao Wen glanced at Pitman helplessly: "To be honest, how did you and your old friend educate this girl back then?"

"Oh, we didn't expect her to grow up like this," Pitman sighed in frustration. "My adoptive father and I have been working diligently to raise children. We taught her to sneak, poison, dig graves, dig graves, cheat, and take the lead. We also found the best shadow mentor for her. Why did she become crooked when we educated her so seriously..."

Gao Wen: "…"

How can you not be crooked in your education?! Amber is only a little bit of a thief until now. Is this considered a talented and pure person?!

"...I have to correct your three views carefully," Gao Wen waved his hand at Amber helplessly and looked back at Pittman. "You have compiled a detailed information on the new production process and the technical requirements of various equipment. I will arrange for the industrial department to start designing the corresponding equipment and factory for you. It is winter now, and if it is completed in the past few months, it will be used in spring. In addition, I remember that you have recruited a group of pharmacist apprentices. Can they be of great use?"

According to Gao Wen's instructions to "expand talents", Pittman recruited a group of pharmacist apprentices in the territory to teach the story of the natural way. The story of the story of "simply pulling a child from a poor family back and training is a talented person. It has not happened. Among the dozen apprentices, there is not even one with the druid talent. Only two or three have weak magical sensing abilities, but it is difficult to be a mage apprentice. Fortunately, the knowledge of druids not only contains magic, but also various knowledge of mixing potions, domesticating animals, and cultivating plants can be learned by ordinary people. Therefore, these apprentices grew up quickly under the leadership of Pittman. Now they are doctors and pharmacists in the territory. When needed, they will also help Pittman configure the catalytic potions needed in agriculture.

"I'm just trying to say that it's very useful, but they're still working hard, and the basic alchemy skills are still available," Pittman touched his beard, "Do you have any arrangements?"

"Using reaction vessels to prepare potions is a technical job, and ordinary people who have not been trained cannot operate it. After the drug synthesis factory is completed, there must not only be workers who do miscellaneous work, but also technicians who are knowledgeable. Choose a few reliable and stable apprentices and let them manage the factory."

Pittman was a little surprised: "I thought you were going to arrange for me to manage the factory."

"What you should manage is a higher-level R&D system, not a specific factory," Gao Wen glanced at Pittman. "There will be more than one potion factory in the territory in the future, and the ancient magic of the druids... are not just used to dispense potions."

"It seems you've been thinking a lot," Pittman nodded. "I understand. I will pick a few suitable apprentices to train and let them go to the steel mills and the Mechanical Institute to get familiar with the 'factory production' model."

Gao Wen exclaimed: "Then... before completing these tasks, I think you should consider the next research project."

Pittman blinked: "What's next step in research?"

"That's to study the 'why'," Gao Wen looked at the divine runes and elemental runes on the alchemy platform, as well as the "inverter array" used to act as a conversion interface. "Why can the inverter array convert the original magic power into the so-called 'divine power'? Why must the divine array be driven with the converted second-level energy? What is the difference between magic power and divine power?"

Gao Wen slowed down his tone, but his expression was particularly serious: "Traditional spell casters rarely pay attention to deep spell principles, and you have just satirized this, so we must not be like them. Especially the inverter technology is a technique obtained by digging graves and a legacy of the ancient Gondor Empire. It is not an unanalytical gift of gods, but was studied by ancient magicians who are also mortals. Fortunately, we happened to have the opportunity to study it, so we must not miss this opportunity."

Peterman was stunned for a moment and suddenly smiled slightly: "Whenever I think I think far enough, I will always find that you are standing in a farther place waiting for me to catch up..."
