Chapter 267: The Light of Civilization
The formation of the Meltcut Sword marks the further improvement of Cecil's combat effectiveness and combat form - in this world where there are all kinds of magic and counter-magic, a single ranged weapon or melee weapon is difficult to cope with the complex battlefield situation, and the Meltcut Sword is filling the current shortcomings of Cecil's combatants, and its other great significance is that Cecil led those local craftsmen and technicians to make a progress in their thinking.
Different from the new things that appeared in Cecil's collar in the past, the "Melting Cutting Sword" was completed by the locals from the initial idea to the birth of the final product, except for some suggestions made by Gawain when he chose the technical route, all the technical links and creative links of the whole process did not involve him as a "plug-in", and the craftsmen, technicians, knights, and warriors in the territory brainstormed to complete the design and finalization of the new weapon. The significance of this has even exceeded the technical achievement of the melting sword itself.
In the process of manufacturing the Melting Sword, he saw the ability of the world's native technicians to use existing technology and materials to process and create - the blade of the Melting Sword uses a special magical material called "Purple Steel", which has extremely special properties, it is extremely resistant to high temperatures, and it is almost impossible to smelt with any form of high-temperature forge, and only in a certain strength of arcane energy environment, Purple Steel will show plasticity; On the other hand, the insulating material in the melting sword uses a mixture of quartz sand and crystal dust, which is a by-product of the processing of various magical substances in the "Magic Crystal Smelter", which is extremely resistant to high temperatures and has poor thermal conductivity, and can be mixed with an acidic adhesive to become a filler between metal materials quite strongly......
The so-called "heat insulation" rune on the sword body is one of the most commonly used basic runes by magicians in the laboratory, which can constrain the heat and direct it to the gap between the rune group, in the laboratory, magicians usually use it as the outer layer of protection of the alchemy table, to prevent the alchemy table from being destroyed by various extremely high temperature magic (after all, many magic experiments need to use extreme environments to achieve, and the alchemy platform itself is impossible to resist all extreme magic effects), Rune craftsmen, who often help mages set up alchemy devices, skillfully use this rune on the Molten Sword, allowing it to bind all the heat energy near the blade in an approximate "focused" manner......
These are all substances or technologies that belong to this world, and their unique properties can only be described as unbelievable to the technicians on the earth, but this seemingly backward "medieval world" has its own set of technical routes to process and process them, which really touches Gawain a lot.
The day after the Molten Sword was finalized and put into production, a new magic device was being erected in the Lord's Square in the center of the city.
A large group of magicians—Cecil's unique "Magical Industry Technicians"—were busy under the leadership of Carmel, transporting a "big man" covered in tarpaulin to the center of the square, and then began to dismantle the metal cover on the ground in the center of the square, exposing the connection end of the magic net under the cover. Kamel manipulated the mage's hand and weight reduction to move the two-meter-tall "big man" over the connector.
Fascinated by this unusual scene, the people stopped around the plaza and noticed that the inner part of the square was guarded by soldiers, but there was no sign of martial law outside the inner area, and the people of Cecil's realm were accustomed to the fact that the lords and scholars had created something incredible and useful for the realm, while the common people could watch it from a safe distance.
In other noble realms, commoners are never interested in the affairs of the lords, because most of them have nothing to do with their daily lives, as is the case with the so-called "nobles belong to nobles, and untouchables belong to untouchables", but in Cecil's realm, people are getting used to paying attention to any changes that occur in their realms, because they know that it is all related to their lives.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of curious eyes, the large device covered in tarpaulin landed steadily on the end of the magic web, and then Kamal's mage hand uncovered the tarpaulin, and a large and mysterious magical device appeared in front of everyone.
It was a two-meter-tall square tower made of crystal and metal - it was the stereotyped magic obelisk, which was larger, more beautiful, more stable and efficient than the original "prototype", which was only half a meter high.
The magicians immediately began to fix and connect the obelisk, they had already made a round hole in the center of the square in advance, and now they began to firmly fix the magic device to the ground with strong bolts, and the other part of the people were responsible for fusing the connections that extended from the ground to the base of the obelisk - they were equipped with "gauntlets" similar to military magic terminals on their arms, but instead of a lethal scorching ray substrate, the gauntlets were installed with reduced power and range, Enhanced with continuous output of the Hot Molten Beam, this Circle based on the Scorching Ray is a new technology of the Rune Research Institute, and it is a breeze for Jenny, who has already cracked almost all the mysteries of low-level runes.
Kamel's gaze lingered for a long time on the "industrial magic terminals" equipped by the magicians, and he knew that they could be equipped with a variety of functional components, from hot melt beams to cooling rays, and even power drills and cutting saws—as long as the shell or the modules inside could be replaced. In terms of versatility, this magic terminal has even more functions than military terminals. Of course, its power is much worse than that of the military model.
According to the lords, this industrial magic terminal is only an "intermediate product", and their ultimate goal is to achieve civilian use, so that ordinary people in Cecil Territory can use it in their daily lives.
Arcane sparks flickered across Kamel's face, and he watched as the magicians who didn't know the slightest bit of magic melted the metal and fixed the base of the magical obelisk with the power of magic, and they did so smoothly that they were not even worse than real magicians - in fact, they would be even better in the future because they didn't have to be distracted to maintain magic and chant incantations.
"Magic is just a power, mages can use it, ordinary people can use it, everyone can use it" - what a crazy idea, but even more crazy is that it is gradually being realized in this land.
"The bolts are all fixed." "The connecting end is welded." "The first layer of runes is lit, and the mana connection has been established."
"Master Carmel, the installation is complete, do you want to activate the obelisk? Master Carmel ...... Master Carmel? ”
A few calls in his ears brought Kamel back from his wandering mind, and he floated slightly, coughing twice majestically to hide his embarrassment, and then looked at the obelisk of magic that had been installed.
He didn't have to look closely, he could easily see the magical power flowing inside and outside the device, and it was clear that the technicians had set it up perfectly, and it was in the best working condition.
"Open the obelisk, release the limiter." Kamel hummed.
A magician stepped forward, pressed the rune trigger device located on the base of the obelisk, and secured it with a safety latch, with a low buzzing sound, the large magic device immediately began to fill with a wonderful blue glow, the original dark purple crystal body gradually brightened, and its various parts slowly floated under the effect of the levitation circle, entering a predetermined position in midair......
The surging magical energy swept through the square in an instant, and almost no one could feel the blowing of this energy, but Kamal opened his arms in the magical energy, quietly enjoying the feeling of being full of magical energy.
After adjusting his arcane flow, he no longer felt the "itch".
The soldier who had been waiting next to him immediately stepped forward, and after receiving confirmation from the technician, the soldier took out the "propaganda materials" written by the lord before, and began to explain aloud to the people gathered in the square the role of this device, as well as the safety instructions of this device during operation, but Kamel did not pay attention to what the soldier was preaching, he just raised his head and looked at the sky led by Cecil.
A white snowflake fluttered down, affected by a swirl of magic, swirling to the edge of the square, followed by more snowflakes, one after the other, fluttering down from the sky.
It's snowing, and the southern region has seen a lot of snow since the beginning of winter, but in Kamel's eyes, the snowflakes that are falling at this moment seem to have a different meaning.
"Do you want to extinguish the lights of human civilization?"
The ancient magister watched the sky silently, watching the snow that was falling from the sky and growing larger and larger.
"You can't put it out."
In the middle of the first winter of New Cecil, the first obelisk of magical energy in human history was lit.
In the Lord's Mansion across the Lord's Square, Gawain stood on the balcony, quietly watching the scene in the square through the open window, and after the magic obelisk was lit, he showed a faint smile - no excessive joy, because everything was expected, and the biggest surprise had already been experienced when the "prototype" was designed.
He turned around and returned to his room from the balcony, picking up a modified "receiver" from his desk that was only half the size of a palm, and he installed it in a new card slot on the wall of the room.
Hetty was already standing in the room, she looked at Gawain and smiled: "Ancestor, the first magic energy obelisk has been lit, and then we will transform the magic guide machines in the range according to the plan, adding receiving devices that can receive magic fields, and after that, the newly produced magic guide equipment in the factory will also be directly pre-installed with 'magic field receivers'." As for the magic crystal lamp as a street lamp, it is not renovated, and is still directly powered by the old magic network system. ”
Gawain nodded: "Very good, just follow the plan." ”
"To be honest, I thought you would be presiding over this 'boot ceremony' in person, just like on similar occasions before," Hetty looked at Gawain with a smile on her face, "After all, this is such an important moment. ”
"There will be many important moments in the future, I don't have to be there every time, let Kamel show up this time - he also needs the acceptance and recognition of the people in the territory," Gao Wen said lightly, "We have more important things to do now than to go to the square to preside over the 'opening ceremony'." ”
"You mean...... That report from the Dark Mountains Observation Tower at noon today? ”
"That's right, the wall of grandeur flickered once—and that doesn't bode well."
