Chapter 119: Distant Landscapes
Seeing the stunned eyes of Heidi and the others, Lucien said with a smile: "I like to listen to music and write music in my free time, and Mr. Oliver likes to watch and create plays, which is not fundamentally different from you playing games, it is a kind of relaxation, as long as you don't indulge in it and interfere with your own arcane research and the improvement of your magic strength, then there is no problem." ”
Hearing the teacher's words, Heidi and the others finally completely relieved themselves, and he really didn't blame himself and others for studying "artificial intelligence" When he made a little game by the way, as he himself said, if he is addicted to music and has not made breakthroughs in arcane and magic for a long time, he will also be secretly ridiculed by the arcanists for not being able to distinguish between priority and priority, and being plagued by music, but the teacher is very clear about his goals and directions, and has always only regarded music as a spice of life, so when the arcanists mention him, they will sincerely praise him as a great musician, as long as he and others can control themselves, playing games can not become a beautiful conversation.
Whether a thing is good or bad depends largely on one's own attitude.
Heidi and others are not afraid and afraid of the teacher's scolding, but Lucian's criticism is often accompanied by a large number of "homework", such as the study of quantum field theory, such as the practice of new achievements in the current field of mathematics and physics, and this is a "nightmare" that they will never forget in their lives.
"Teacher, don't worry, we designed this block game mainly to test some modules, and we won't be addicted. Heidi assured Lucien on behalf of the members of her group.
Lucien looked at the cube game on the water screen display and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. It's still very rudimentary, but it basically has the rudiments of the game I'm familiar with: "Let's call it 'Alinge Cube', in fact, designing games is also a good thing. ”
This time, even a shy and introverted guy like Annick expressed surprise.
"Magicians must have leisure and entertainment, don't you think that the number of regular forms of entertainment in operas, plays, concerts, balls, and mysteries is too small these days?" Lucien said half-jokingly, as for the hunting and other activities that the nobles liked, they were not very popular with magicians, "and it also promotes a positive image of the arcanist and the magician, you think." If there is a game that simulates an adventure. If ordinary people can also play the role of magicians and feel the magic of all kinds of magic against monsters and daily applications, then they will definitely yearn for magic more and more. ”
Heidi's eyes lit up as if she were amused. However, she immediately said with a sad face: "Let's not talk about whether ordinary people can afford to play." Today's 'artificial intelligence' can't run such a complex game. Also, we have a lot of research projects and don't have time to design more games. We have to continue our research in magical crystallography, and we have to start trying to merge 'alchemical life' with 'artificial intelligence'......"
"It's not for you to design, there are at least hundreds of arcanists who follow you to study 'artificial intelligence', and there are even more apprentices and alchemists who cooperate with you, and they can play their role, and the process of designing games can be completely detached from magic, just like writing 'drama' in a simple 'artificial intelligence language', so that this matter can be outsourced to ordinary people who have little magical talent, which can be regarded as creating a new kind of work for the kingdom. Lucien casually offered his own suggestion.
"Outsourcing?" Heidi heard the noun for the first time, but it didn't prevent her from understanding what Lucien meant, anyway, the teacher was known for piecing together words and sentences, which became a popular way for the council, "Those simple modules can also be outsourced, but they have to be specially developed...... However, the most important thing at the moment is to improve the performance of 'artificial intelligence'. ”
Speaking of games, she suddenly remembered something, and asked suspiciously and curiously: "Teacher, the large-scale live broadcast screen was produced half a year ago, but what 'Mysterious Voice' hasn't started 'live broadcast' yet?"
Thanks to their previous "artificial intelligence" research, it didn't take long for the screen to display the image to make a breakthrough, although it took a lot of effort to reduce the cost in the later stage, maintain the color, and reduce the size, until now there is no finished product suitable for promotion to aristocratic families, but the large-scale live broadcast screen has begun to be produced, and it has been successively arranged in the squares of important cities in the four countries of the strait and the northland coastal corridor - Fortunately, there are not many places that need to be arranged, and the Magic Council can barely afford it with the major kingdoms and the Free Cities Alliance, which also provides Heidi and the others with a lot of patent income.
"'Voice of Mystery' is broadcasting, and the design of all programs is adapted to the characteristics of only sound, but now the live broadcast screen can see the image, and many programs seem to be mismatched, so it is necessary to redesign the new program form, such as interviews, explanations, and music programs can be directly copied, and the others are not, otherwise what do you want the image to do? What does the storyteller look like?" Lucien has instilled new ideas into the members of "Sky Radio" during this time, and recruited a group of new people.
Among this group of newcomers, there are even ordinary people who have no magical talent, they are the kind of people who are smart and active, and they are constantly thinking new ideas.
Heidi and the others could probably understand what the teacher meant, and nodded their heads and sighed: "I don't know when I will be able to see the first live show in the real sense......"
"Maybe it won't be long ......," Lucien said with a meaningful smile.
............
A few days later, at the beginning of the Blazing Wind Moon (August), on the Municipal Square of Rentat.
A column of white water shot straight into the sky from a pool of patterned stones, and then fell like a waterfall in all directions, splashing on the clear water, the sound loud but not at all unpleasant to the nearby crowd, who crowded close to try to dispel the heat.
Opposite the famous fountain is a strange huge "glass" screen, which is translucent, and you can vaguely see the many and strange components and intricate and mysterious patterns inside.
"What do you say this live broadcast screen has been set up for five months, but there has been no 'live event'?" a citizen asked his child Lang Man.
Lang Man's body has risen a lot, he is a fourth-grade student at the first general education school, he is already a knowledgeable scholar in the eyes of his neighbors and friends, he knows a lot of knowledge, although he has no outstanding magical talent, but he is praised by the teacher for his outstanding mathematical and physical talent, which makes Lang Man's father and mother very proud, and he unconsciously regards his child as a scholar in his heart, and subconsciously asks him if he has any questions.
"'Live' is not an event, it should be something like 'Voice of Mysteries' in the future......" Langman explained in a half-word he had heard at school.
At this moment, the huge "glass" screen suddenly bloomed with a soft light.
"Glow, glow!"
"There's a live show?"
"Why isn't there a notification on the 'Voice of Mysteries'?"
On the square, people were in an uproar, and there was a lot of excitement in their doubts.
Lang Man, his father and mother also ended the discussion, and their eyes were completely projected on the "screen".
What kind of live show will it be?
Ever since the development of arcane and magic brought about great changes in society, the citizens of Rentat have often spent their days in shock and surprise, so they are looking forward to this abrupt live broadcast.
The light gradually stabilized, and two seated figures appeared on the "glass" screen, a man and a woman.
The woman's long hair shawl and long skirt like an evening dress can vaguely make the citizens who were impressed by the last live broadcast recognize that this is Miss "Nightingale", and the man is a typical Holm, with black hair and blue eyes, deep-set eye sockets, two mustaches symbolizing maturity, and a well-fitting tuxedo, dressed as if he was going to a banquet.
"Hello everyone, I'm your old friend 'Nightingale', this is a live experiment, so I didn't inform you in 'Voice of Mysteries', and now, if you can see me, you will witness the first live broadcast of 'Alinge' satellite TV. Louise was afraid of being too nervous, so she temporarily imposed a 'mechanical mind' on herself, and said with a sweet smile but no real smile, "This person next to me is also an old friend of everyone, and the summoner who often hosts the program 'Man and Nature' is Mr. Cuarón. ”
"Man and nature?" Lang Man and other citizens looked at the screen with burning eyes, but they didn't understand why they were looking for Mr. Cuaron, who hosted the "Man and Nature" program, to partner with Miss "Nightingale".
Cuarón smiled, "I was a little nervous and couldn't say anything, so we went straight to today's 'man and nature'. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the translucent "glass" behind the two of them bloomed with the same soft light, filling the screen.
The light gradually dissipated, and a piece of turquoise and crisp grass reflected in the eyes of Lang Man and other audiences.
The meadow seemed to have no end in sight, and as far as the eye could see, it was all green, and an ugly monster with three horns was lurking in the grass, as if it had no idea that it was being watched by hundreds of thousands of humans.
"This is ......" Lang Man looked at the screen in shock, shocked by the unimaginable prairie, he had never seen such a wide grassland, so fresh green.
This shock spread in the hearts of everyone in the square, and Jane in the aristocratic school, Ali in the third general school, and Banus in the small city, everyone who saw this grassland scene felt the shock from the bottom of their hearts, this is a beautiful scenery they had not even imagined before, the sky is high and the sky is wide, and the eyes are full of green.
"This is the ......steppe south of the desert south of the Gusta Empire," Karon's magnetic voice slowly explained.
This is the savannah?
This is the southern part of the Gusta Empire?
Most of the people of the Four Straits and the Northland Coastal Corridor had only been to nearby cities in their lives, and the Gusta Empire was the equivalent of another world to them, so they never thought that they would be able to truly witness the steppes.
That's what it looked like!
The three-horned monster snuggled cautiously through the grass "under the watch" and then pounced on it, biting the neck of a lone goat!
This clear process shocked many people in shock.
And Lang Manli has only one idea, and this is the arcane ...... That's magic...... They make the impossible possible, so that ordinary people like themselves can see distant landscapes without leaving their hometowns! (To be continued......
