A cheap, convenient, stable and reliable way of long-range communication, its role in the process of social development is undoubted, especially at the present stage when Gawain destroyed the old aristocratic forces in the south and began to integrate and build a new south, its significance is even as important as those guns that can destroy the old nobility.

There are many factors restricting social development, and for Cecil's territory, which is rapidly expanding and populating, the two biggest challenges to maintaining the dominance of the southern border at this stage are transportation and communication, the ability to transport materials and personnel within the territory, the ability to build, the ability to circulate information, and the speed and effectiveness of the entire ruling structure...... Almost all of this depends on the development of transport and communication technologies.

Excellent transportation can achieve a rapid flow of materials and personnel within the territory, production and construction will be guaranteed, commerce will be developed, and the connection between various regions will become close, not loose, in the event of an emergency, it is also a prerequisite to ensure that the army can quickly rush to the war zone, and excellent communications, so that the government department can understand the situation of the whole territory, ensure that the intelligence of the regions is timely and unimpeded, and allow the government department to make the fastest response to various emergencies - and to achieve these two points, It must depend on the development of technology and productive forces.

Ansu's aristocratic feudal system is a manifestation of backwardness in Gawain's view, but it is the inevitable result of limited transportation and communication technology, the ruler can not control the situation outside the territory in time, nor can he send troops outside this extreme area in the shortest possible time, and at the same time, it is difficult for a city's materials to be transported to other cities, which is also doomed to the situation of nobles dividing their territories and taking cities as states, in fact, until Ansu 557, nobles and scholars still pursued the following wise sayings

The area where a liege can effectively rule is the farthest that his knights can reach in three days and nights, and the area where he can achieve absolute domination is the farthest distance that his mage advisors can see with Eagle Eye.

This old saying was popular in Ansu for hundreds of years, and it was not until the summer of 557 that a noble mage of the Holy Spirit Plains named "Delta" invented a crystal device capable of amplifying the Eagle Eye and installed it on top of his own mage tower, thus expanding the "absolute domination area" of the lord.

In the following ten years, at the suggestion of this far-sighted aristocratic mage, the royal family of Ansu began to build the "Kingdom Road" (also known as the cross artery) with the city of St. Sunil as the central point, the east, west, north and south crosses through the entire Holy Spirit Plain, and extended to varying degrees within the four realms, thus greatly strengthening the royal family's control over the country. With the advent of the Courier Passage Act, the transportation and communication situation in Ansu greatly developed, and the ability of the nobles to rule over the territory and the royal family over the whole country took a big step forward.

But in these developments, the aristocratic feudal system that has lasted for hundreds of years reflects its strong inertia, except for the Kingdom Avenue, almost all the road construction in Ansu is still cut by a feudal territory, whether it is road standards or carriage and horse specifications, there is almost no continuity between different noble domains, and the griffin messenger is also regarded as a symbol of noble glory (plus the cost is indeed not reduced), and has never developed to the popularization stage, and the feudal nobles continue their pride, reserve, Self-esteem and self-isolation, while enjoying the benefits of increased dominance within their domains, instinctively rejecting these things to continue to develop and affect their absolute authority over their fiefdoms.

Originally, if there was enough time, the day of the breakthrough would appear sooner or later, and the old nobles could not stop the development of society forever, but unfortunately, before the Kingdom Avenue could be repaired to the border, Ansu ushered in the civil strife of the Foggy Moon.

Therefore, today's Ansu still has to rely on the king to canonize vassals, vassals canonize vassals to maintain order, and even due to the huge loss of Ansu's national strength due to the civil strife in the foggy moon, the remaining nobles in various places are almost unable to maintain the roads, and the number of "white feather" griffins has also decreased sharply in the war, and Ansu's transportation and communication situation has even almost degraded to the state before 557.

In the later stages of the war, the power of the nobles declined, and the roads leading to the castle in the territory became a hidden danger for the lords to sleep, and the nobles after the war had to retreat to protect themselves due to the population decline and the chaotic situation, and this negative and degraded attitude has continued even to this day.

It wasn't until Ansu 735 that an old ancestor jumped out, with the authority of the founding father, with millions of years of experience from the two of them, and with disdain for the traditional aristocratic system, and began to build his Cecil new situation in the most unreasonable way.

Looking at the communication device in front of him, which was still in the verification stage, Gao Wen's mind was not only a communication device, but also an orderly road connecting all parts of the southern border and even all parts of Ansu in his heart.

Transportation and communication, the former he has cement and all kinds of magic machinery that are rapidly developing, and the latter, he has finally seen the fruits of the efforts of Carmel and Rebecca, and the two problems that plague all rulers seem to have a solution.

"At the moment, this communication device uses a hybrid rune group - most of its rune groups are derived from the technology of the Eternal Sleepers, but the generation and control of the magic concussions are still the same as traditional telecommunication spells," Kamel floated next to the communication device, explaining some of the technical details of the device to Gawain, "Unfortunately, we still haven't been able to figure out how the Eternal Sleeper network works in nature." Primordial Magic Field', so this device can only operate within the range of a standard magic field at this time. ”

Gawain was quite interested in these technical details...... Within the range of the Obelisk of Magical Energy? ”

"Yes, the standard magic field generated by the magic obelisk is like the 'lake' you described, and the ripples generated by the communicator travel through the magic field from one magic obelisk to another, so we can call this communication 'magic web communication'," Kamel explained, "I've found one to use the magic obelisk to use." The relay scheme to continuously transmit signals has been successful in a small area, but the specific effect after the transmission distance increases remains to be verified......"

"How are these communication devices paired or recognized?" Gawain asked, "If I have a hundred of these devices scattered in various places, how can I use one of them to accurately connect with another specific device?" ”

This is also a question that Gawain is very curious about - the communicator made by Carmel is very different from the traditional teleportation spell or the grand wall of the elves, it is a combination of teleportation and eternal sleeper technology, and its communication medium is the "standard magic field" generated by the magic energy obelisk of the current high-tech technology, from the perspective of the working principle, it is more like an indiscriminate "broadcasting" device, by broadcasting its own signal in the magic field, so that all similar devices can answer, If there is no matching or identification method, all signals will be transmitted openly without encryption, and the entire magic field will become an extremely chaotic pot of porridge, which is difficult to achieve the "communication network" function required by Gawain.

"We're referring to the technology of the ancient Gondor period," Carmel seemed to have expected Gawain to have this question, and he immediately replied, and his tone was quite proud, "You are also from the Empire, and you should know that the Imperial Information Network was in operation back then—it was already in operation back in the Spark Age. ”

Gawain nodded, talking about the knowledge he had just extracted from his memory, "Oh, I do know this, when I was an apprentice knight, I often listened to the opera broadcast in the imperial capital at my mentor's house, and I remember that the device can not only receive broadcasts, but also be able to talk to people who are far away in the imperial capital. At that time, only nobles or big businessmen would have a 'dark blue terminal' in their homes, but compared to this era, it was already a huge popularity. ”

Before Carmel could speak, she heard Rebecca's voice coming from the communicator (she didn't hang up, and kept grimacing while Gawain was chatting with Carmel) "Wow! Was this kind of communication device so popular back then? ”

"Compare the number of telecommunications and telecommunication devices today...... The Gondor's communication technology was a miracle," Carmel sighed softly, then continued, "I've added a 'resonance' structure to this device, so that only signals that meet the resonance conditions can be transmitted between devices. In order to achieve this resonance, I used the four basic runes of the wind system and the four basic runes with no attributes, and randomly arranged these eight runes on a substrate with a three-by-three-empty slot, they do not form any rune knots, nor do they have any spell effects, but according to the principle of mana resonance, when another rune group arranged with the same rules participates in the magic oscillation, this 'resonance base' will produce the same reaction......"

At this point, Carmel paused, as if to give Gawain and Hetty some time to calculate and think, and then continued, "Eight runes have a large number of permutations and combinations on a three-by-three substrate, and when calling one device to another, you only need to use a rune trigger similar to a 'laboratory table palette' to easily assemble the rune structure of the call target. I just controlled the process directly with my own magic power, if ordinary people use it, the rune trigger is here, and the side of the device is here......"

"Dialing, we can call it dialing," Gawain felt that the simple process was too complicated to explain with a large number of ancient Gondor nouns and modern magical terms, and said simply, "In addition, we can number the eight runes from zero to seven, so that each communication device has a specific number to identify it, and the person who uses the communication device can 'dial' more easily." After all, it's easier to memorize numbers than runes, and numbers are better suited to a form than runes. ”

Whether it's Carmel or Hetty, or Rebecca across the communicator, everyone seems to be accustomed to Gawain's "as experienced as if he's been using it for years as soon as something new comes up", and everyone accepted the suggestion very indifferently.

To be honest, Gawain is quite unaccustomed to it......
