023. Space teleportation
The follow-up to the shipwreck accident was handled by the staff of the White Star Transportation Company and the Kingdom Traffic Management Division, which was long overdue.
The mixture of happiness, trepidation, uneasiness, and fear on the faces of the staff of the White Star Transportation Company after seeing Emma, Quint, and the others made Talos remember it very deeply, and he had never found so many expressions on a person's face at the same time, and each one was heartfelt.
It is not difficult to understand that if the first and second heirs of the Nepton family and the eldest son of the Heinrich family were unfortunately killed in this shipwreck, the White Star Transportation Company would definitely suffer the most serious crisis since its establishment.
They will have to deal with the interrogation of two of the oldest magical families in the Naga population, as well as a near-mad Black Sea Lord.
However, the specific handling of the work has little to do with Talos, who is only one of the many passengers who have been shipwrecked, and Emma briefly negotiates with the other party as the eldest daughter.
After that, with the escort of Chest, a high-ranking mage, and the next twenty family mages, Talos and his party arrived at Nulanfin a day later, the closest spatial teleportation point to Strasbourg.
In the vicinity of the frontier, no organization or individual is allowed to set up teleportation arrays in any form, or to carry out other illegal space teleportation activities of individuals or groups.
However, within the kingdom, there are not too many strict requirements for the establishment and establishment of the space teleportation array, as long as the organization (usually the government or transportation company) follows the relevant laws and regulations after legally establishing the space teleportation array, and has sufficient funds and sufficient mage strength to carry out standard maintenance of the operation of the space teleportation array, then everything is allowed.
The Nuranfinn Space Teleportation Hall is located next to the Magic Tower of the Mage Alliance, with a total of seven floors, which means that it is located in the most prosperous downtown area of Newlanding.
As ever seen, there weren't many people coming and going inside the Spatial Teleportation Hall.
To say that Sainz is the most convenient mode of transportation, space teleportation ranks first, there is no doubt about this, the time difference before and after teleportation will not exceed ten seconds, which is hundreds of times faster than any aircraft and maglev in the previous life, beyond the imagination limit of ordinary people.
But when it comes to cost, spatial teleportation is also the first place, which is also an important reason for the scarcity of people in the teleportation hall.
A short-haul ticket costs at least 10 gold coins, and a long-distance ticket of more than 500 miles is even higher.
For comparison, the cost of the magic submarine from Strasbourg to Nulangen-en-Magic is less than 2 silver coins, which is only one-fiftieth of the former!
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the saying that the people who enter the teleportation hall are either rich or expensive can spread, and to a certain extent, it is true.
The disparity in ticket prices turned away most ordinary people, and space teleportation served more of the wealthy, becoming an exclusive mode of travel for nobles and high-level professionals, no matter where they were in Sainz.
"The teleportation array is being recharged, and we are still an hour away from opening, and we will be back in the Black Sea soon. ”
In the VIP lounge on the third floor, Talos, who was bored and eating, finally heard good news from Emma - his eating behavior had not stopped since he entered the lounge, and Chast's expression was becoming more and more wrong.
Although space teleportation is convenient, it is limited by energy and cannot operate uninterruptedly, and each space teleportation array requires at least 40 minutes of charging and nearly 20 minutes of maintenance and inspection before it is activated.
The longer the straight-line distance between two places in the space teleportation, the greater the energy consumption and the longer the time required to recharge, which is the most important factor that causes the space teleportation to not be continuous.
Waiting is the eternal topic of the space teleportation array, just like waiting for a plane at the airport in the previous life.
It wasn't without protests, but it didn't help.
All spatial teleportation points in the Naga Kingdom are carried out in strict accordance with the domestic space teleportation network (internal teleportation of the Naga Kingdom) and the international spatial teleportation network (teleportation between the Naga Kingdom and the human kingdom, the elven royal court and other external realms) arranged by the Kingdom's Magical Transportation Division.
For example, the space teleportation from Nulanfen to the Black Sea is set at 16:30 in the morning, enter the teleportation area one minute in advance and wait, and then teleport to the Black Sea on time, and the time consumed on the way will not exceed ten seconds.
Another piece of good news for Talos is that Nulanfinn doesn't travel beyond the spatial teleportation limit in a straight line to the Black Sea, otherwise he would have to make a transfer to get home.
With the magical knowledge and technical means that Sainz currently possesses, the maximum distance that can be carried by each spatial teleportation is 1,000 miles.
Once the space exceeds 1,000 miles, the space teleportation process cannot guarantee the stability of the space and the safety of the human body.
The interference of spatial turbulence, the inability of the human body to withstand the pressure of space and being squeezed into a pile of meat sauce, etc., are all serious consequences that may be caused by forcibly teleporting in space regardless of distance, and they are also problems that modern space faction mages are trying to overcome, whether it is Naga, elves, or humans.
"Passengers heading to the Black Sea, please note that your NB0422 transfer will start in five minutes and will be delivered on time at 16:30 a.m., please go to the XII transfer array on the third floor to prepare for the transfer ......"
If you were to use the most modern language to describe the teleportation array in the Nulanfin teleportation point, Talos would definitely choose the elevator, and it was an enlarged version.
In the center of the enlarged elevator, there is a round platform about half a foot above the ground, on which are intricate magic arrays and magic runes inscribed, covered by a thick but transparent layer of special magic materials to protect them.
When Talos and Emma, Quint, Chast, and the six Black Sea Knights ascended the platform—ten for the Naga given their size and weight—the "elevator door" closed, starting from the outermost circle of magic, and began to glow bright yellow in circles.
When the lines of the seven circles of magic were filled with yellow light, the teleportation array began to work, and Talos's vision became distorted and blurred.
After about two seconds, the yellow color gradually turned green, which means that the teleportation array that was connected to the teleportation array of the Black Sea side was also successfully opened, and the two different spatial coordinates were officially connected.
Immediately after, a dazzling silver-gray glow rose from the teleportation array and circulated everywhere within the "elevator", and rows of grids of countless illusory hexagons flew from the distant void, rushing into Talos' field of vision, and quickly swept by.
In the center of each regular hexagon there is a very different view, representing a different destination.
Eventually, the grid stopped, and one of the regular hexagons became condensed and real in the silver-gray sheen, and grew larger and larger in Talos's field of vision, eventually taking over all of his sight.
When only this regular hexagon remained in Talos's sight, the sky swirled, and the silver-gray luster dissipated.
With the dull sound of drums, the dizziness peeled away from Talos, and the Black Sea arrived.
Time, 16:30:09 a.m.
PS:
1. I never thought that the acronyms of Newlandfound and the Black Sea would be a bull pen... Stunned!
2. According to the conversion, the distance of 1000 miles is about 1600 kilometers (the straight-line distance from Hangzhou to CD is about 1560 kilometers), as long as you know that it is quite far.
