"Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry about what happened to your kingdom, but with all due respect, no matter how you get involved in this matter, even just to help Yongdu hunt down the raccoon, it may lead to trouble that you can't handle."

Schiller looked at Alain with an apologetic look, and he was sure that Alain would not be stalking to the death, and would not even ask the Holy of Holies to help him with this matter.

Don't look at Alain's urgency now, as if he can't help but maintain the security of his country, but in fact, the Dodel Federation he mentioned is a multi-tribal alliance, and he is only the prince of one of the tribes, and he may not even be the kind of important prince who can succeed to the throne.

He will show an attitude that everyone is drunk and sober, and he must help the Federation solve this trouble, which is nothing more than to gain a little political bargaining chip for himself, but if the price to pay in the process of fighting is greater than he imagined, there is naturally no need to continue.

Sure enough, Alain only showed a look of regret, completely lost his previous anxiety, and seemed to just lament that he had missed an opportunity to perform in front of his father.

Just then, the waiter came out of the concert hall and led the guests to their seats in order, and Alain smiled at Schiller, and said, "Thank you so much, sir, thank you for the kind reminder, it seems that we can only endure it, but I will still visit the earth another day, and I would like to experience the service of the Holy of Holies of Holies." ”

"Of course, you are always welcome at the Holy of Holies."

After hearing Schiller's polite reply, Alain turned around at the right time and did not dwell on it anymore, but after he turned around, Schiller's serious expression quickly disappeared, but became a smile instead of a smile, and his eyes fell on Alain's hair tied behind his head.

The young prince had thick black hair, most of which was braided and stood on the back of his head, meticulously groomed, but Schiller saw a hair that did not belong to him on the side of the collar that was exposed as he walked.

Schiller followed the flow of people into the concert hall, which is different from the human concert hall, the whole is circular, divided into three floors, upper, middle and lower, with the orchestra playing in the center of the patio, and all the seats next to it.

Actually, this is not very good for the radio, but Asgard is a magical civilization after all, and they have special methods to make the sound of various music perfectly reach the listener's ears.

Schiller walked into the concert hall and glanced around, his eyes resting on the bodies of several people, and then unsurprisingly saw the conspicuous red cloak.

Schiller took the list of pieces from the waiter next to him and walked to the figure in the front row of the second floor, Strange also sensed someone approaching him, and turned his head back to look, and Schiller was already seated next to him.

Concerts in Asgard are different from those of humans, drinking is allowed, guests can talk quietly during the interlude, and it is more of a social event than an art appreciation.

After Schiller sat down, he tapped the wine glass in Strange's hand with his fingertips, and said with a smile, "Quit drinking, huh?" ”

Strange picked up a thin champagne glass, shook the wine inside, and said, "Quitting alcohol is also gradual, I try not to drink until I do something important, you know, that feeling of being slightly drunk affects my use of magic, but it's nothing when I rest." ”

Schiller also took a glass of wine from the waiter, shook his head and said, "yes, and then you will find that all the time is a break." ”

The two reached out and clinked their glasses, and Strange smiled and said, "Seriously, when are you going to visit Kama Taj again to see our progress on the application of magical energy?" ”

"I'm just an ordinary person, I don't know magic, but don't whisper in my ear your fables, fate, and the like." Schiller shook his head, revealing a worried expression.

Strange sighed, and said a little helplessly: "Okay, last time I wasn't there, it was the more traditional kind of mage who received you, you know, they just like to talk like this, and I promise not next time." ”

"Actually, I also know that your main concern should be the progress of portal technology." Strange took another sip of wine, frowned, and his face became a little more serious, and he looked at the musicians who were in place in the room, and said, "I still maintain my opinion, portal technology is likely to be one of the greatest advantages of humanity in the future. ”

"When we didn't go to the interstellar space, we only thought it was very convenient, but when we really stepped on the interstellar stage, we found that such a convenient, flexible, and energy-saving portal was not possessed by a second race in the whole universe."

"It is true that the three major empires of the universe are not short of portals, and without teleportation technology, it is almost impossible to achieve large-scale interstellar colonization like theirs, but their teleportation technology has a big problem, that is, it is large in size, high energy consumption, and troublesome maintenance."

"Of course, the three empires are not short of these materials and energy, but the personalized and lightweight ultra-small portals like the Hanging Ring are still a technical difficulty that they can't overcome."

"The reason for this is actually the different development routes of civilizations." Schiller opened his mouth to analyze, he said: "The Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire are all scientific and technological giants, and they don't have much research on the occult. ”

"Most of the civilizations on the technological side, the teleportation routes they take start from artificial wormholes, constantly improve the stability of wormholes and the accuracy of teleportation, and then continue to shrink and downgrade, and develop all kinds of portals on this basis."

"Magneto once showed me how wormholes unfold, and to be honest, even he, a chosen one who has mastered the fundamental power of the universe, has to work hard to build a wormhole portal."

Strange nodded, he had also seen Magneto's teleportation method, to be honest, it was nothing to open a portal in the universe, after all, the universe was so big and so empty, even if dozens or a hundred portals were built, it would not affect anything.

But Magneto's kind of wormhole portal is completely useless on Earth, and it can't even be too close to Earth, which is likely to affect Earth's gravitational orbit.

Even if Magneto's control of his own abilities has reached the level of extreme subtlety, no one dares to let him take this risk, after all, there is only one earth, and if something happens, ordinary people will be doomed.

This risk leads to the dilemma of studying portals for surface civilizations, which do not have the ability to colonize the stars, and it is difficult to even go to other planets, they only have a home planet, and they can only build experimental fields nearby.

But once the experiment on wormholes is not done well, it will be a burst of stars, and almost no surface civilization dares to risk the end of the home planet to do such experiments.

But now human beings are very special, their technology and magic are developed separately, and when it was difficult to build a spaceship sailing in the solar system on the technology side, the mage's small portal had already opened all over the universe.

This also means that they can set up experimental sites outside their home planet, such as the Mercury base, or the Saturn and Uranus moon bases that are now under development, or even go directly to the alien enclave, that is, the Andromeda galaxy to carry out experiments, so that even if there is danger, they will not be able to bomb their own home.

Strange touched his chin and said, "Actually, the mages are planning to find an open area in the Andromeda galaxy and experiment with new portal technology. ”

Schiller raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion: "What other new portal technology?" And you're going to go to the Andromeda Galaxy experiment? ”

Strange sighed and said, "This is actually a historical problem, as you know, human mages were very poor for a long time, and we only had a little energy, so we can only pick and search." ”

"On this basis, most of the routes studied by mages are how to save energy and improve the efficiency of energy circulation, and the same is true for portal technology, you may think it will be a little ridiculous, the only hanging ring portal in the whole universe is developed by mages who were forced to no choice but to save energy."

Strange showed a wry smile and said, "Think about it, you also know that the idealistic nature of magic is destined to be every mage's dream is to bombard indiscriminately with energy, more is good, big is beautiful, but if we are not really poor, will we study so many miniaturization technologies?" ”

"But no one thought that one day we would not worry about energy, but would encounter a bottleneck because the technical route point was too extreme."

Schiller then remembered that when the Holy of Holies was first established, Kama Taj seemed to have already begun to work on the large portal technology, and the last time he heard the name of this technology was when he heard that the large portal had reached the size of the moon.

But since then, there has been no breakthrough in this technology, and if it weren't for Strange's rehash, Schiller would have forgotten about it.

It's quite interesting, Schiller thought, that the portal technology of other civilizations has all changed from large to small, from the initial large wormholes that could affect an entire space to shrink until they become small portals for civilian use.

However, the process of human portal development technology is reversed, and the mages have been researching energy-saving and shrinking technologies for many years, resulting in a portable suspension ring portal in their hands, but they have encountered problems in the large-scale of the portal.

Although Schiller really didn't understand the principle of magic, he knew when he thought about it that it wasn't just a force that could make the portal expand to infinity by pouring energy into the ring, and the structure of an energy body that could accommodate one person and an energy body that could accommodate a planet must be completely different.

It's like a toy castle made of sand, it's easy to erect, but if you want to build a real castle, the load-bearing structure and material strength must be rigorously designed and considered, and you can't just pinch it out and use it.

"Because we didn't have that much energy at the time, it took generations of mages to design the Ring-Hanging Portal, which is nothing short of a miracle.

"But because no mage in ancient times had so much energy to build a large portal, and we didn't even dare to think about it, our technical heritage in this area is completely missing."

Strange shook his head and said, "The largest portal that the mages have developed now is not much bigger than the moon. ”

"Of course, a portal of this size is enough to transmit a few small ships or transport materials within the solar system, but since humans are already one step ahead in magic portal technology, why can't they be more ahead?"

"As long as there is a large portal and the earth's magical defense network, humans can move their home planet at any time."

As the ornate chandelier above the seats in the concert hall lit up, Strange's eyes shone brighter and brighter, and his tone seemed to be joking, but between the words, there was a greater ambition.

"Perhaps, we can move something else?"
