After Rebecca and Jenny left, Gawain got up from behind his desk and walked around to the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking thoughtfully at the new building being built across the square.

It was the headquarters of the "Public Security Bureau", and a part of the trained and educated former militia would become the first professional "patrol officers" or "vigilantes" in the territory, replacing the current situation of having soldiers from the combat corps serve as patrol members.

Gawain was not thinking about the implementation of this new system, he was looking at the construction process of the building.

Wherever the new facility is built, the hive will be laid, so before the construction of the security bureau building, the hive unit and output terminal of the magic net are already buried in the foundation around it, and these magical powers will also become an important auxiliary on the construction site: before the construction starts, the craftsmen will carve simple weight loss circles, heating runes, elemental blessing runes, etc. around the output terminals of the magic net according to the drawings sent to them, and those building materials sent from the cement and brick factories will be processed in these areas where the simple magic circles are depicted, some are heated and cured, some are blessed by the elements to prolong the service life, and more are reduced weight to facilitate handling and installation.

Inferior weight-loss circles depicted with cheap materials can also provide a weight-saving effect of up to an hour or so, during which the heavy building materials will be transported to the right places, such as beams and roofs, and the craftsmen who are full of labor wisdom have summed up the experience in the process, and they know how to install these weight-saving materials to ensure that they do not impact the building structure when the weight suddenly recovers, but will be more firmly joined with other building materials- Production and construction activities throughout the territory have greatly accelerated the integration of new applications of magic and traditional crafts, and the craftsmen of the construction field are arguably among the first to accept and become accustomed to the use of magic in their work.

And the participation of these simple spells has increased the efficiency of building construction in Cecil's territory to an incredible degree - even beyond Gawain and Hetty's initial expectations, they are both surprised, but the latter is surprised that the original popularization of magic will change among the people, and the former is rethinking whether his judgment of the world is accurate......

Is this "medieval" kingdom of Ansu, or the whole world, really "backward"?

Gawain frowned, remembering the assignment he had given Rebecca and Jenny, and what he had seen and heard in the past few months.

Mithril Treasury's Communication Ring, Hetty's Levitation and Weight Loss, the Human Brain Array of the Eternal Sleepers, and the Biochemical Transformation of the Society of the End......

If we judge purely from the perspective of "whether a certain purpose can be achieved", or "whether a certain technical means exist", the world is actually not backward at all - it is incredibly advanced.

There are long-distance and low-latency telecommunication technologies (magic teleportation or communication props from the Mithril Treasury), advanced facilities such as magic information towers at the country-to-country level, and there is even a flying city called the "Temple of the Stars" in the country of the Silver Elves, and that city can cover the telecommunication signal to the entire Silver Empire, which can be said to be the most powerful information base station that Gawain has ever heard;

The glowing rays behave like some kind of high-energy laser, or a jet of plasma with extremely high temperature and binding force;

The technology of the Sleeper has created a neural mind network, and the human brain array computer is a kind of black technology in Gawain's view, but what else does this technology achieve? Enables fully immersive virtual reality – it can even impact the real world;

The biochemical technology of the Society for the End of All Things has enabled organ transplantation and even DNA fusion between different species many years ago (if the organisms of this world also use DNA as a carrier of genetic data);

The Holy Water of the Holy Light Church can achieve almost 100% sterilization and disinfection effect, and their healing magic can even regenerate people's limbs instantly;

Mages can create energy shields, focused energy rays, damaging sound waves, and even create small areas of artificial weather......

In Gawain's line of sight, a beam that had lost most of its weight was being transported to the roof by workers in a sling and easily installed in place—what was that? It's anti-gravity technology!

The Star Sanctuary relied on some kind of powerful anti-gravity device to float over the Silver Empire for thousands or even tens of thousands of years - if used properly, how many Helicarriers would it be equivalent to?

So is a world where there are long-range instant messaging, energy weapons, energy shields, anti-gravity technology, flight technology, and high-end biochemical technology really lagging behind?

It stands to reason that it will not lag behind, and it has even advanced to the point where it can only be described as "science fiction".

But it is still backward in Gawain's eyes - the vast majority of people are still digging in the fields, still using rudimentary wooden tools and physical strength to survive, still living a life of food and clothing, and death from minor illnesses and disasters, all this is not because the technical level is not up to - the technical level has long been reached, it just has not been popularized.

This is what makes this world special: all kinds of advanced technologies based on magic can be mastered and implemented by individuals, even if they are not universal!

Even if their development is constrained by the factor of "lack of popularity", the "high starting point" of magic has determined that even their primitive use is enough to make a good life for those who wield power.

The people at the top, who have supernatural powers, which they have been able to use to lead themselves to an advanced life of extreme comfort and convenience, and who have a large number of "inferior people" to drive, certainly do not think of popularizing these forces that maintain their own domination, and even a very small number of gifted and fortunate people in the lower classes who have mastered these powers will be immediately absorbed by the social structure of this world, transformed into a new aristocratic class, and become a part of maintaining this situation - and more importantly, Before the advent of the Hive Web and rune logic, and before the advent of Gawain, a "third-party observer", no one would have thought about how to popularize all this, and the consequences of popularizing all this.

Therefore, this world is lagging behind, even if there is long-range communication, even if there is energy weapons, even if there is biochemical technology and virtual reality technology, and there is anti-gravity technology, it has been lagging behind for thousands of years.

However, Gawain believes that even if there is no appearance of his own, there will always be a day when the world will get rid of this sinking situation - as long as human beings are still thinking, then there will always be changes, a wild mage is buried, there will always be new people who have summed up the rules of runes and the concept of magic nets, and there will always be someone who is talented or even just too lucky to make it happen......

There is no need to worry about whether the world's technological accumulation is sufficient - there is no shortage of technological accumulation here, only the process of popularization and the power to ensure popularization.

But since he has appeared in this era, and has not yet seen anyone other than himself realize the meaning of popularizing all this, he is happy to do it himself......

Gawain's thoughts fluctuated, and after realizing that there were countless advanced technologies in this world waiting to be liberated, his fighting spirit burned again, but at this moment, he saw a black shadow suddenly flash in the square below, and flew towards this direction.

He slammed the window shut.

"Gawain, let me tell you something...... Smack. ”

It wasn't until Miss Half-Elf was snapped out that Gawain realized that he seemed to have heard a few words from the Machine Building just now - this shame of all things is here to report something?

Gawain hurriedly opened the window again, and almost the moment the window opened, he saw a dark shadow coming up from below, and slammed into him: "You are going to die!" How can you deliberately close the window when you see someone coming! ”

Gao Wen grabbed the amber with his teeth and claws: "How can you not go to the front door every day like this!" Next time I'll put a rat trap in the window, I warn you - and what do you say is wrong with the machine shop? ”

Amber opened her teeth and claws for the last few times, and when she found that she couldn't break free, she hurried to get down to business: "That Nicholas egg seems to have something wrong, it just fell to the ground, and it's a mess there!" ”

Something happened to the working machine?!

It is no exaggeration to say that Gawain really broke out in a cold sweat at this moment, he grabbed Amber's belt without saying a word, clamped the other party to the armpit, and then jumped out of the window without even leaving the door: "Hold it firm!" ”

"Didn't you jump out of the window too!"

"Shut up!"

Gawain rushed almost in a straight line to the new building of the machine shop—the people along the way didn't even see what was happening, but felt a gust of wind blow through the street—and in a few minutes he was already where Nicholas Egg was.

The main workshop of the new machine-building was brightly lit, and almost all the craftsmen and apprentices of the machine-building were already gathered in the large interior space, and Nicholas Egg was in the middle of the crowd - he was quietly "lying" there, and the huge silver-white funny smile to the sky was simply funny......

The corners of Gawain's mouth twitched, feeling that the funny paint on the surface of this big ball was too eye-catching, so that it could give people the feeling of drama in this situation, but he still quickly adjusted and stepped forward to ask, "What happened?" Dandan- Can you still hear me? ”

"How many times have you said it, at least call it an egg!" There was a buzzing sound inside Nicholas's egg, and the sphere shook slightly in place, but there was still no sign of floating, "I said why do you humans make such a fuss...... I'm not dead......"

Hearing that the Iron Ball Star Man still responded, Gawain breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the big metal ball in front of him suspiciously: "Then you are ......?"

"Seems to have a cold," Nicholas Egg hummed, "a sudden cold." ”

"Cold?"

"Yes, a cold, isn't it common sense that you can't float up when you have a cold?"

“…… This is not common knowledge to humans! Gao Wen's eyes glared for a moment, and at the same time, he deeply felt the difference brought about by the different species, and then asked a little worriedly, "Anyway, why do your race catch colds?" Got a cold? Or are you infected? ”

"Probably the source of the stimulus," Nicholas Egg said sullenly, "I am prone to colds when I am exposed to certain energy fields or material stimuli...... I tried to process several new materials today, and I'm afraid there are irritants in them. ”

Gawain immediately turned to the craftsmen and apprentices around him: "What has he been exposed to today?" ”

A rune craftsman shrank his head: "Lord Lord, the most special thing he processed today should be this ......"

As he spoke, he asked the apprentices to push over a large piece of the "rough stone" on the cart.

"This is a new ore discovered by the exploration team from the Dark Mountains, and Miss Hetty said she sensed that the ore's magical activity was high."
