Chapter 547: Earthquake?
The changes in society are complex, but on the other hand, there are laws to follow in its changes in a specific period of time and under certain conditionsβjust as Emperor Typhon's changes are destined to touch the interests of the landed aristocracy, just as the emergence of industry will inevitably give rise to a new class that uses machine factories instead of land as capital, just as the small aristocracy that invests in capital will inevitably be separated from the big aristocracy, and the old-style raw material production areas will inevitably be exploited by the industrial groups...... It's all a whole chain, and even if no one pushes it, it will happen naturally.
Just pinpoint the key points of these chains, just push slightly...... Everything will accelerate suddenly.
What Daniel has to do is to push at these key points, or guide them a little, so as to achieve the maximum results with the least force.
Even so, it was still difficult for the old mage to influence the entire development process of Typhon alone, and Gawain needed to make sure that Daniel would be able to carry out these bold plans.
Faced with the suspicion of the "Extraterritorial Wanderer", Daniel did not hide his connections and influence in Typhon's country: "Although I have been away from the imperial capital of Typhon for many years, I still have a lot of connections in the Royal Mage Guild...... Some of the nobles of the imperial capital have old friendships with me...... Many of the lower nobles are keen to get closer to the non-factional mages of the Royal Mage Guild, and I have already established contact with many of them since I returned to the Imperial Capital......"
"Good job," Gawain nodded slightly, "as I told you, you have to run your own forces, and what I want you to do is far from being able to be done by one person." β
"I have always obeyed your will," Daniel immediately lowered his head, and then he hesitated slightly, and then said tentatively, "My lord, I have something to report to you regarding the increase in manpower. β
Gawain nodded: "Say it." β
"My apprentice, Mary, I think she has passed the examination," said Daniel cautiously, "she is highly gifted in mathematics and science, she has mastered most of the knowledge you have given her, and her loyalty is assured, and I think she meets your requirements." β
Gawain groaned slightly: "Mary...... You did mention her. β
He knew several of Daniel's apprentices, especially the one named "Mary", and at a very early age, he had said that he wanted the old mage to select talents from among the apprentices and teach mathematical knowledge in order to increase the number of people available, and the female mage named Mary seemed to be the one that Daniel was most satisfied with.
"In that case, let's bring her to see me at our next meeting," Gawain decided, "It just so happens that we now have a non-implantable neural cable technology that allows people to access the Internet without neuromorphosis or the use of the Eternal Sleep Technique." β
As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly, and a holographic projection of the immersive neural cockpit immediately appeared above the round table, and the accompanying blueprints and detailed technical information also appeared around the projection.
Rebecca smirked, "That's how we got in with this connection." β
"This is ......" Daniel looked at the hologram floating in mid-air, and at this moment, many complicated emotions suddenly came to his heart.
This is the non-implantable connection technology, which allows people who do not have the talent of eternal sleepers to access the psychic network.
He remembered his real-world body, the implanted nerve cords that made him like a monster, the after-effects that had almost driven him crazy, the hallucinations, the tingling, the maddening noises......
The nerve cords were rooted in the spinal cord and connected to the brain, and he probably couldn't leave them for the rest of his life.
But his "non-implantable nerve cord" was finally successful.
His way of thinking, his theory, and his research direction are correct.
At least, Mary doesn't have to make as many holes between her spine and brainstem as she does.
"All the materials are here, and I will store them in this safe space so that you can call them at any time," Gawain's voice woke Daniel from his thoughts, "Some of the parts on this are made using Cecil's machine, and you don't have the corresponding processing equipment there, but I have marked the detailed processing conditions, and I believe that you, as a high-level mage, have the ability to make them." β
This is the benefit of the transcendent realm - although there are many advantages of machines, as long as the transcendents are willing to put in the time and energy, they can often make products that meet the requirements of the industry with their bare hands, at least in the early stage of industrial development, it is possible for the transcendents to rub a few gear levers by hand, or even a few engines and a magic car.
Daniel bowed his head respectfully: "I will not disappoint you. β
β¦β¦
In the spacious and bright laboratory, Amber sat boredly on the chair next to Gawain, fiddling with the small dagger in her hand while observing the immersion chambers that were in a closed state, occasionally turning her head to look at Gawain sleeping next to her, and finally couldn't help muttering: "I'm afraid these people are going to sleep to death......
A voice with a slight metallic trill came from not far away: "It's impossible, the life detection rune shows that everyone's vital signs here are normal." β
Amber raised her eyelids and saw a silvery-white funny egg with a diameter of more than a meter fluttering between several immersion pods to check the equipment, she pouted: "Nonsense, the life detection rune on Kamel's side is dark." β
Nicholas Egg turned to look at the ancient magus who was floating quietly next to the immersion pod, connected to the immersion pod with a dozen arcane currents, and let out a buzzing voice: "But Kamel himself is bright." β
"You're really serious where you shouldn't be, blind to your smiling face," Amber couldn't help but roll her eyes, and then looked at the Iron Ball Star in front of her with a little curiosity, "But then again...... Don't you feel sorry? β
Nicholas Egg didn't know why: "Regret what? β
"You made a lot of the parts of these devices, but you couldn't use them yourself," Amber said, "and even Kamel could connect directly to the network by sensing magic, but you couldn't...... Isn't that a pity? β
Nicholas Egg was silent for a moment, swaying his body from side to side: "I can't help it - my life form is too special, I don't have the so-called 'nervous system' at all, and I can't sense any magic fluctuations, Pitman tested it on me when I made the nerve cord, and I didn't react to that thing at all." But then again...... I don't feel any regrets. β
"Oh?"
"I know what kind of world is in that psychic network," Nicholas Egg lowered his height slightly, "That's the world of human dreams...... But that's a human dream, not mine. My world is not here, nor is it in any of your dreams. β
This world has a shadow world, a shadow world, an elemental world and a lot of fragmented outer space, for people who can access this knowledge, "foreign visitors" is not an unthinkable concept, but even so, a life form like Nicholas Egg that is completely beyond common sense is still incredible, the territory has just been established, in order to prevent too much attention from the outside world, Gawain arranged the identity of the "ancient magister" for this iron ball star, but this is only a public statement to the outside world, For Cecil's high-level officials, and for the core personnel who have been trusted by Gawain, they more or less know the origin of some of Nicholas eggs.
A wonderful exotic visitor.
Amber looked at this foreign visitor, and suddenly couldn't help but ask, "By the way, do you want to find a companion?" β
ββ¦β¦ Yes? β
"Aren't you alone," Amber's mind had already diverged, "Why don't I tell the old zongzi and find you a companion......
Nicholas Egg's whole ball was a little shocked: "Where are you going to find me a companion!?" β
Amber opened her mouth and came: "Turn a ...... with a lathe"
Nicholas Egg: "...... Wait, I guess you're making a mistake......"
However, amber is not so easy to stop compared to; "By the way, are you a boy or a girl?"
"No, I think it's good right now, and my days at the machine shop are quite fulfilling......"
Amber was already excited at this time, and this half-elf, who was prone to intermittent hyperactivity, suddenly became interested in Nicholas Egg's personal problems: "Anyway, I've always thought you were a male ball, but if you think about it, you are divided into men and women......"
At this moment, a slight shaking suddenly came, which finally interrupted the goose's continuous bibi.
And along with this slight shaking, there was a faint roar from an unknown distance.
Amber was the first to react, as a stalker, she was extremely sensitive to any slight shaking, and the sound that followed made her ears stand up all of a sudden, and Nicholas Egg's reaction was a little slower: he was floating in the air and couldn't sense the vibration of the ground very well, so he didn't ask curiously until the voice came, "Seems to be a little moving?" β
"Did the earthquake happen...... Amber had already stood up, her ears fluttering sensitively in the air, turning in all directions where faint sounds were coming from, while her hand was already on Gawain's shoulder, ready to wake him up at any moment.
But the tremors only lasted for a short time, and the low, distant sound soon stopped.
"It seems to have come from far away, and it's stopped," Amber glanced at Nicholas Egg, "You watch here, I'll contact the outpost." β
The elf's keen hearing allowed her to judge that the last movement was coming from the south, which caused her great unease.
Nicholas Egg did not talk nonsense: "Good. β
Amber's figure quickly disappeared into thin air, but she didn't go too far - there was a magic network terminal for communication in the Magic Guiding Technology Research Institute, and she went to the nearest terminal room, and then directly called the monitoring station set up in the dark mountains.
The sight of the surveillance station appeared above the terminal, and a tall, lanky soldier appeared on the holographic projection: "This is the first post of the Dark Mountains, salute you, Chief Amber." β
"Outpost, is there a situation over there?" Amber immediately asked, "I just felt a jolt here. β
"Yes, we were about to report - in the southern foothills of the Dark Mountains, there was a change on the border of the Black Forest, possibly an earthquake or a landslide."
"Just over there in the Black Forest? The Great Wall is not moving? β
"The Great Wall is normal, the Sun Wheel Observation is normal, and the Mana Environment is normal."
Amber breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little strange: "Earthquake or landslide? But how do I think I heard an explosion......
"It was heard here, but the source of the explosion was not visible, probably because it was blocked by the mountain. In addition, a sentry saw an unidentified flash in the southwest direction, but was unable to confirm it. β
ββ¦β¦ I see," Amber exhaled, "it doesn't matter if it's an earthquake or a landslide, be vigilant, keep an eye on the Great Wall, and I'll report the situation to the Lord." β
