Chapter 267 The Light of Civilization
The formation of the melt-cut sword marks the further improvement of the combat power and combat form of Cecil's combat soldiers - in this world where various magic and counter-magics exist, a single long-range weapon or melee weapon is difficult to deal with the complex battlefield situation, and the melt-cut sword is filling the current shortcomings of the Cecil's combat soldiers, and its other important significance is the ideological progress of Cecil's local craftsmen and technicians.
Unlike the new things that appeared in Cecil's past, the "Sword Cutting" was completed by locals from the initial conception to the final product. Except for Gao Wen's suggestions when he chose the technical route, all the technical and creative links of the entire process were not involved in his "plug-in". The craftsmen, technicians, knights, and soldiers in the territory brainstormed to complete the design and finalization of the new weapon. For Gao Wen, the significance contained in this even exceeded the technical achievements of the Sword Cutting itself.
During the manufacturing process of the melt-cut sword, he saw the ability of local technicians in this world to use existing technology and materials to process and create - the blade of the melt-cut sword uses a special magic material called "Purple Steel". This material has extremely special properties. It has extremely strong tolerance to high temperatures and can hardly be used for smelting and processing with any form of high-temperature forging. Only in the arcane energy environment of a specific strength, purple steel will show plasticity; on the other hand, the thermal insulation material in the melt-cut sword uses a mixture of quartz sand and crystal dust. This mixture is a by-product of the processing of various magic substances in the "magic crystal smelting plant". It has the characteristics of extremely high temperature resistance and poor heat conduction. After mixing with acid adhesives, it can be quite firmly become a filling substance between metal materials...
The so-called "thermal insulation" runes on the sword are one of the most commonly used basic runes by magicians in the laboratory. They can constrain heat and direct it to the gap of the rune group. In the laboratory, magicians usually use it as the outer layer of the alchemy platform to prevent the alchemy platform from being destroyed by various magic with extremely high temperatures (after all, many magic experiments require extreme environments to be achieved, and the material of the alchemy platform itself cannot withstand all extreme magic effects). Rune craftsmen who often help magicians arrange alchemy devices cleverly use this rune on the melting and cutting sword, allowing it to bind all heat energy near the sword blade in an almost "focus" way...
These are materials or technologies that belong to this world. Their unique properties may only be described as incredible to technicians on the earth. However, this seemingly backward "Medieval World" has its own technical route to process and process them, which really touched Gao Wen a lot.
On the second day after the melt-cut sword was finalized, a brand new magical device was being erected in the Lords Square in the center of the city.
A large group of magic technicians - the "magic industry technicians" unique to Cecil - were busy under the leadership of Carmier. They transported a "big guy" covered with tarpaulin to the center of the square, and then began to dismantle the metal cover on the ground in the center of the square, and exposed the magic net connection end below the cover. The magic technicians used various rune substrates that carved the magic circle in advance to measure the situation of the magic net. After confirming that the connection end was running well, Carmier controlled the mage's hand and weight loss technique to move the "big guy" two meters high to the top of the connection end.
People were attracted by this unusual scene and stopped around the square. They noticed that soldiers were guarding the inner area of the square, but there was no sign of martial law outside the inner area. The leaders of Cecil were accustomed to this situation: this means that the lords and scholars have created incredible new things, which have a great effect on the territory, and the civilians can watch at will from a safe distance.
In other noble leaders, civilians were never interested in the affairs of the lords, because it was mostly nothing to do with their daily lives. This is the case with the so-called "noble belongs to the nobles, and untouchable belongs to the untouchables". However, in the Cecil territory, people are gradually accustomed to paying attention to any changes in the territory, because they know that all this is closely related to their lives.
Under the gaze of countless curious eyes, the large device covered with tarpaulin fell steadily on the magic net connection end. Then Carmier's mage's hand uncovered the tarpaulin, and a huge and mysterious magic device was presented to everyone.
It was a two-meter-high square tower composed of crystal and metal - it was a solid magical obelisk. Compared with the original "prototype" that was only half a meter tall, it was larger, more beautiful, more stable and more efficient.
The magic technicians immediately began to fix and connect the obelisk. They had already made round holes for fixing in the center of the square in advance. Now they began to firmly fix the magic device to the ground with solid bolts. Another part of them was responsible for welding the connection ends extending from the ground to the base of the obelisk. Their arms were equipped with "arm armor" similar to military magic terminals, but the arm armor was not equipped with lethal scorching ray substrates, but the hot melt beam that reduced power and range and enhanced continuous output performance. This magic array transformed based on scorching rays is a new technology of the Rune Institute. For Jenny, who has cracked almost all the secrets of low-level runes, such transformation is easy.
Carmier's vision has been on the "industrial magic terminals" equipped by magic technicians for a long time. He knew that these magic terminals can also be equipped with various functional components, from hot melt beams to cooling rays, and even power drills and cutting saws. Just replace the shell or module inside. In terms of versatility, this magic terminal has even more functions than military terminals. Of course, its power is much worse than that of military models.
According to the lord, this kind of industrial magic terminal is just an "intermediate product". Their ultimate goal is to achieve civil use so that ordinary people in Cecil can use it in their daily lives.
The arcane sparks on Kamair's face were flashing. He watched the magic technicians who did not have any magic at all used magic power to melt the metal and install and fix the base of the magic obelisk. Their operation was so smooth that it was even less than a real magician. In fact, they would even do better in the future because they did not have to be distracted to maintain magic and sing spells.
"Magic is just a kind of power, mages can use it, ordinary people can use it, everyone can use it" - such a crazy idea, but what's even more crazy is that it is gradually realizing on this land.
"All bolts are fixed." "The connection end is welded." "The first rune is lit up, and the magic connection has been established."
"Master Carmier, the installation is completed. Do you want to activate the obelisk?Master Carmier...Master Carmier?"
Several calls from his ears made Carmier recover from his distraction. He floated up slightly, coughed twice in a majestic manner to hide his embarrassment, and then looked at the magical obelisk that had been installed.
Without having to come up and observe carefully, he could easily see the magical power flowing inside and outside the device. Obviously, the technicians' installation was perfect, and it had entered the best state of work.
"Open the obelisk and release the limiter." Carmire buzzed.
A magic technician stepped forward and pressed the rune trigger device located on the base of the obelisk and fixed it with a safety pin. With a low buzzing sound, the large magic device immediately began to fill with a wonderful blue glow. The originally dark purple crystal body gradually became brighter, and its various parts slowly floated up under the action of the floating array and entered a predetermined position in the air...
The surging magic energy swept across the entire square in an instant, and almost no one could feel the blowing of this energy. However, Kamier opened his arms in the magic energy and quietly enjoyed the feeling of magic power.
After adjusting his own arcane stream, he no longer felt the "ittingle".
The soldiers who had already been waiting beside him immediately stepped forward. After being confirmed by the technicians, the soldier took out the "propaganda materials" written by the lord and began to loudly explain the function of the device and the safety instructions of the device during operation to the people gathered in the square. However, Carmire did not pay attention to what the soldiers were preaching. He just raised his head and looked at the sky led by Cecil.
A white snowflake fell down, and it was affected by the magic whirlwind, and it swirled on the edge of the square, followed by more snowflakes, one after another, falling from the sky.
It’s snowing. After the beginning of winter, the southern region has seen many snowfalls, but in Carmier’s eyes, the snowflakes falling at this moment seem to have a different meaning.
"Do you want to extinguish the lights of human civilization?"
The mage from ancient times looked quietly at the sky, watching the rising snow that was constantly falling from the sky and getting bigger and bigger.
"You can't destroy it."
In the middle of the first winter of the New Cecil Leadership, the first magical obelisk in human history was lit up.
In the Lord's Mansion opposite the Lord's Square, Gao Wen stood on the balcony, quietly watching the scene in the square through the open window. After the magical obelisk was lit, he showed a faint smile - no excessive joy, because everything was expected, and the biggest surprise had been experienced when the "prototype" was designed.
He turned around, returned to the room from the balcony, and picked up a modified "receiver device" from the desk that was only half the size of a palm. He installed the receiving device in a newly set slot on the wall of the room. With a "click" sound, the receiving device was closely connected with the magic circuit in the room, and a magic crystal lamp specially used to test the magic field became brighter.
Hetty had already stood in the room. She looked at Gao Wen with a smile: "Ancestor, the first magical obelisk has been lit. After that, we will transform the magic machine within the range according to the plan and add a receiving device that can receive the magic field. From then on, the newly produced magic equipment in the factory will be directly pre-installed with the 'magic field receiver'. As for the magic crystal lamps as street lamps, they will not be modified and will still be directly powered by the old magic network system."
Gao Wen nodded: "It's great, just follow the plan."
"To be honest, I thought you would go to host this 'starting ceremony' in person, just like in similar occasions before," Hetty looked at Gao Wen with a smile, "It was such an important moment after all."
"There will be many important moments in the future. I don't need to be on the scene every time. Let Carmier appear this time - he also needs the acceptance and recognition of the people of the territory," Gao Wen said lightly. "We have more important things to do now than going to the square to host the 'opening ceremony'."
"You mean...that report came from the Dark Mountain Observation Tower at noon today?"
