Chapter 297 Carmel and Santis
As the last rune is connected to the entire magic array, the rune substrate on the experimental bench begins to run instantly.
Magic power is injected into the substrate through the transmission device on the experimental bench. Standard runes specially used for laboratory testing are illuminated one by one. The magic flow flows in an orderly manner between the magic materials and is converted into a specific spell effect. A light blue air flow appears over the substrate, forming a specific vortex shape according to the traction of the rune lines.
Of course, the clean air mass or air flow itself is invisible. The light green color is actually the "elemental glare" effect generated by the interaction between magic and active elements in the air. Seeing the familiar element glare, Kamair knew that his experiment was successful.
The Jenny formula group and the Lavenkes constant are still effective when dealing with magic runes of the elves system, Wind Blessings This classic elves spell is perfectly controlled in the human lab.
Looking at the spinning air mass, Carmier fell into deep thought for a moment.
When did the concept of "spell casting" gradually deviate from his cognition?
Traditional mages are proud of their personal casting ability. Only by being able to shape spell effects with their own hands and their own mental power can they be regarded as a qualified spell caster. However, "talent" innately limits everyone's highest casting ability. A person with insufficient talent, no matter how good his mind is or how hard he learns, cannot release spells. However... what kind of spell effects should these spell effects produced by calculations, tools and materials on the laboratory bench be considered?
In the traditional concept of magicians, this is called "magic array casting", which is still the patent of mages, because only those with the talent for spell casting can carve magic arrays by sensing the flow of magic power. The higher the talent for spell casting, the more complex the magic array can be, so casting through magic arrays is essentially no different from personal spell casting. However, the research and usage array in front of him... was actually made by assistant researchers in the Rune Research Institute.
They were a group of ordinary people with extremely low magical talents and even no magical talents.
They designed all rune structures through paper and pen calculations, and Carmier was just guiding from the side. Although "Blessing of Wind" is just the most basic thing in the elf spell system, and in the human spell system can only be considered a spell of one to two levels, a group of ordinary people have reconstructed a usable magic circle, which itself challenges the traditional concept of "spell casting".
A slightly excited voice came from the side, interrupting Carmier's thoughts: "Master Carmier...we succeeded!"
"Yes, we succeeded! These elves runes also run according to the structure of rune knot-interference knot! Success!!"
Assistant researchers gathered here. They looked at the magic circles that were running stably on the experimental bench, and they couldn't help but get excited. However, because Carmier was present, they did not dare to cheer directly and loudly. The majesty of the great magician was still deeply rooted in their hearts.
Carmire raised his head and glanced at the magic researchers wearing white short robes. The white short robes were the "exclusive clothing for technicians" designed by the lord. This kind of clothes that resembled magic robes actually did not have any magic auxiliary effect. However, wearing this white robes is the highest honor in the hearts of many magic technicians in the territory. He looked at these excited researchers and in a trance, he seemed to see the old friends standing in the laboratory with him a thousand years ago...
The next second, Carmier woke up and made a slight trembling voice: "Yes, it's successful, each of you is good. All this is worth celebrating. I will propose to Dean Jenny that a celebration will be held in the institute tonight!"
The researchers left the laboratory with excitement of the success of the experiment and expectation of evening dinners, while Carmier returned to the laboratory bench and looked at the other drawings fixed to the shelf next to him.
That is the design drawing of the acceleration track, and some adjustment parameters sent by the lord not long ago.
He didn't know how the lord determined these adjustment parameters, but these parameters were indeed quite effective after preliminary testing. Now the step of adding air boost to the shell has been completed. The next task is to create the acceleration track.
Carmire has seen the dawn of success, because all the theoretical parts of the drawings have been solved, and in his deduction, these things should not have too many problems in actual testing. This new weapon named "Magic Crystal Rail Cannon" by the lord may be able to be transformed from the drawings soon, but compared with this physical cannon solution, his research on directional energy weapons has encountered some trouble.
Others don't have enough staff.
There are only a dozen assistant researchers in the Rune Research Institute. Jenny has sent half of them to him. The remaining researchers are following Jenny to do research on interference issues in the intermediate rune system, which is obviously unmovable.
The researchers under Carmier will next conduct research and testing on acceleration tracks, shell loading, fuses, etc. Although the theoretical parameters are complete, it is not so easy to convert theoretical drawings into actual products. It can be foreseen that for a long time in the future, the institute will not have extra staff to help him deal with the problem of directional energy weapons. Carmier's own energy is enough, but without an assistant, his efficiency will not be much higher.
This is not the first time Carmier is worried about this issue because he feels that he must solve this problem, otherwise even if he solves this problem, he will still be short of manpower in the future.
The ancient magician couldn't help but think of the new facility ordered by the lord, the comprehensive research center called the Institute of Magic Technology. He knew that the institute was a department that was more inclined toward practical fields, with large laboratories and skilled technicians who were good at dealing with practical problems. Strictly speaking, the Institute of Magic Technology is more suitable for handling his weapon research and development projects, but the institute has just broken ground now, so I'm afraid it will not be possible to rely on it for a short period of time.
What's more, even if the facilities are completed, the technicians inside have a lot of topics waiting to do: those are magic technicians, and their work tasks are probably already full.
So where should I find a batch of assistants?
There may not be enough intellectuals in the entire territory to be trained to become magic technicians...unless one can find a way to introduce another group of talents.
While thinking, Carmire suddenly remembered a name he heard while chatting with Jenny not long ago.
He left the institute and headed straight to Cecil General College, located south of the institute.
Santis had just finished his afternoon class. After assigning the assignments to copy runes and recite basic runes rules for the children, he packed up his teaching tools and prepared to go back to the dormitory to rest.
The young arcane was used to life in Cecil.
Every day, prepare lessons, teach the children, explain the mysteries of the magic world, check the students' learning progress and homework, then get off work, return to the dormitory, prepare for the next day's course, go to the cafeteria at dinner time, and go to the college teachers, and discuss the students' learning progress together. Occasionally, they are helpless by those students with poor grades, but more often, they are very happy with the students' progress, sometimes students will bring some gifts, most of which are snacks they bake at home or beautiful stones they touch from the river. The second situation is more.
He was at a loss at first, but now those beautiful stones piled up the windowsills of his dormitory.
Santis loves life in Cecil.
There was no intrigue in the capital, no suffocating and depressing atmosphere in the mage tower, no sarcasm and exclusion from the superior nobles and superior magicians. This is a place where he could feel comfortable. Although it is located in the border area and although it is regarded by the men of the capital as a "bad place that only fools can go to", Santis felt that there was no place that made him feel more comfortable than here.
Let the men in the royal capital look narrow-mindedly, it would be better if they didn't come.
Santis had a set of tools for making drawings under his arm, a textbook, a lesson plan, and a box of wooden runes "blocks" used for demonstrations. In addition to the textbooks, the others were made by him by himself. He walked out of the main teaching building while looking at the scenery in the academy.
The snow that fell a few days ago had been shoveled away by students and school workers. In this coldest winter season, Cecil College was not deserted: Santis saw the leaders who came to the night school and were walking towards another building in groups, all of whom were just workers: since more and more factories in the territory regarded "recognition of words" as the standard for senior workers, more and more people took the initiative to come to the night school.
After all, only by recognizing the number of words can you easily learn how to operate the machines in the factory and understand the complex work assigned by the foreman. The workers who operate the machines earn nearly twice as much as those illiterate laborers who can only carry bags and carry bricks.
A shining arcane light suddenly appeared in sight, and Santis stopped involuntarily.
That was the most powerful spellcaster in the territory of Kamier, a magician from the ancient Gondor Empire.
As a second-level arcane and an arcane who grew up in the magic circle of the royal capital, Santis subconsciously became a little nervous.
After confirming that the ancient mage was really floating towards him, Santis quickly took a deep breath and calmed down and offered to greet him: "Good afternoon, Master Carmier."
"Mr. Santis, we met. It was when the Lord took me to visit the academy," Carmire stopped in front of Santis and said straight to the topic, "I want to talk to you about something."
"Do you talk to me about something?" Santis was stunned for a moment and nodded in a hurry, "Of course, of course, there is no problem, please tell me."
"I need some assistants to help me with an important magical topic."
"Ah...ah?" Santis was stunned for a moment, and then became even more serious. "You need an assistant...then you should at least need a mid-level or even high-level magician to be qualified to be your apprentice..."
"According to what I know at present, most of the magicians of this era are fools. As long as the mind is fixed, intermediate and advanced are equally useless to me," Kamier commented without hesitation. "I want to ask you, do you still know friends like you in the magician circle of your capital?"
