If you see Greenwich for the first time, you will be shocked by what he sees.

Chimneys, smoky coal and magic boilers, jagged houses, colorful signboards, and dense clusters of buildings are distributed in a grid pattern in this small city, full of the atmosphere of the industrial age.

And the most amazing thing is that the entire city is built on the back of a giant mechanical beast that rumbles.

Like the legendary island city built on the back of a giant sea turtle, Greenwich stands on the body of the beast, whose eight mechanical legs are constantly steaming, moving slowly and slowly in a chaotic and regular way, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but the people who live in the city do not feel any vibrations.

In fact, the city did not move around the wilderness at will, but followed a predetermined trajectory, moving around a lake, perhaps the original intention of the people who built the city was to bring the El Group's mechanical skills to the fullest, without considering why the city was moving.

In any case, Lawson, who came to the city from the Rainbow Tower two days ago, is now exchanging experiences with several master craftsmen about automatic machines.

"To be honest, the craftsmanship of this machine is only the normal level of skilled craftsmen, far less than the meticulous craftsmanship of master craftsmen, and I think the problem lies in the production itself. ”

Swift said, taking a sip of his ale and looking slightly drunk.

Lawson nodded, indeed, this machine was processed in Islam, and the accuracy of the parts was not high, so even the parts made by the machine after molding had a certain accuracy error.

"So what does Master Swift mean?"

"Give me a week, no, five days to be able to build these core parts, and by then, the accuracy of this machine will be several times higher. ”

Swift patted his chest and said, full of confidence.

"It's just that this magic program is really incomprehensible, and our magic attainments are not high, so I'm afraid we won't be able to operate this machine freely. ”

Taylor grimaced, he now knew that if he wanted to use this automatic machine, he had to master the use of magic programs, and this seemed to involve mastering magic, which was really difficult for someone like Taylor who didn't know much about magic.

"It's okay, I expected this for a long time, so I'm ready. ”

Lawson took out two more dark crystals from the Law Realm and handed them to the two master craftsmen.

"It's a mobile terminal, you can think of it as a communication tool, but it's much more than that. ”

"Oh, I know, it's a mobile terminal, and I see that the mages in the square seem to be fiddling with this. ”

Taylor was still interested in this kind of new thing, but the mages refused to show him it alive or dead, and said that it was bought at a high price under the help of connections, and regarded it as a treasure.

After teaching the two of them how to start and guiding them through some basic operations amid Swift's exclamation, Lawson clicked on an option in their avatar in the upper right corner of the screen.

"This is the latest version of the mobile terminal, compared with the original, in addition to the interface design improvements, the most is to add this developer mode. ”

Lawson said, clicking the button with the wrench pattern, and the interface of the entire forum changed, so that there were many operation options at the top, and there was a blank appearance in the middle.

A cursor that is flashing in the upper left corner of a blank screen.

"What is this, is there a place to enter the log?"

Taylor already knew a little bit about mobile devices and forums, but the interface in front of him still made him feel confused.

"To be precise, this should be called an integrated development environment, of course, you can also call it a mobile terminal development model. ”

Using the virtual keyboard, Rosen said, typing a word on the screen, which is the word for "display" in the lingua franca.

Then, he sent a simple greeting and clicked on one of the many options above.

The picture suddenly changed, and the sentence appeared on the black screen.

Pressing exit, the interface changes back to its original form, a series of actions that may seem simple at first glance, but Taylor is keenly aware of the subtlety.

"Does that mean that you only need to write ordinary words to make these things into mobile devices, uh...... Procedure?"

"That's right, that's exactly what this development model does. ”

Lawson nodded.

The initial magic programming does require a deep understanding of magic runes, and at the same time, it is necessary to have a certain understanding of the spell model, the basic magic flow theory, and even the magic crystals as a carrier, and the threshold is very high, which is exactly the programming method that Lawson used at the beginning.

Later, with the help of Grantia, Lawson improved it and developed a second-generation programming language by combining many runes, so that it was actually possible to program magic by memorizing the usage and rules of runes.

And the current generation, it is Lawson who encapsulates the commonly used operations into fixed words and sentences, which can call runes and start magic in a prescribed way, so far, the threshold for magic programming has been greatly reduced, in a sense, as long as a literate person, after a certain period of study, can master this skill.

Rosen knew that relying solely on the R&D capabilities of mages was not enough to make mobile terminals and the networks behind them develop rapidly, just like the previous life, which was initially limited to the local area network of the military and university campuses, only by lowering the threshold of programming and allowing more people with ideas to join the programming army, can the industry develop rapidly.

From Rosen's point of view, the productivity of this world is too backward, even with the surreal power of magic, it has been shelved by mages, and magic is also not known to the public, in short, these forces are not focused on improving the overall progress of society.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand, in this kind of world where the feudal system is dominant, so that ordinary people can free their hands, then the authority of the noble lords is naturally easy to challenge, so more people will choose the policy of fooling the people, coupled with the constant war, if you do not develop force, then it is easy to be destroyed, naturally not many people will focus on improving people's livelihood.

And Rosen is here to fundamentally change all that.
