The large-scale movement of the barbarians did not affect the fact that Rand was still learning the calendar and natural knowledge of this world.

What shocked him the most at this moment was not the two suns and three moons in the sky, nor the very complicated calendar and climate caused by this, but the green box in his hand.

In Rand's hometown, there is a point of view that the accuracy of a civilization measurement can support the height of the development of this civilization, in his hometown, in ancient times, only rope and wood could be used to roughly express a concept of length, with the improvement of civilization, put forward the benchmark concept of "ruler", "inch", "zhang", "two", "jin" and so on, but these concepts with the change of times and dynasties, in different periods are somewhat different.

But these discrepancies were tolerated before the entire industrial age, when handicrafts did not require mass production and the division of labor in the industrial chain.

Until the industrial age, assembly line and mass production have higher and higher requirements for the processing of all parts, and the tolerance for differences between individual parts is getting lower and lower, and the more precise the industrial product, the higher the accuracy requirements.

At this moment, Rand took the alchemy calendar in his hand, and the field nobles of the entire human empire, not to mention more than 1,000, must have hundreds of people, and each person has a standard standard weights and measures benchmark, which shows that at least from the level of the human empire, there are industries that require a high degree of cooperation from various regions.

But aren't we a feudal empire? Am I still acting as a baron? A wild baron who eats in the field is driven by the barbarians every day, where does the industrial chain come from.

Not only the barony of this frontier, but also the other nobles, knights, and caravans have not heard of other nobles, knights, and caravans expressing expressions accurate to the hour, everyone is talking about a certain day in the first half of the month, a certain time period of a certain day (yesterday, the day before yesterday), such as morning, afternoon, and evening, and never said such a thing as 10 a.m. on September 14, 996, which shows that the life in the entire vicinity of Rand is stuck in the era of traditional agriculture, and it is only necessary to know the approximate date and climate law of today.

The calendar in front of him directly broke the stereotype of Rand, this feudal human empire, not only knew the meaning of time and precise weights and measures, but also established precise standards that transcended the needs of society through the means of magic. But what is the precise meaning of this?

"Uncle Albert" Rand couldn't find the words for a while, "this, this calendar, there are so many functions!" ”

"Amazing, isn't it?" Albert's face even had a certain imperceptible pride on his face: "Precise control of time and space is the basic principle of nobility, although you may not often encounter places in your life that require this alchemy calendar, but this is because we are too remote here, and in major cities, accurate time concepts are very important." ”

"What do these nobles need precise time for?" Rand had the impression that the so-called feudal aristocracy could be of any importance?

"Meeting" Albert was very determined

"What?" Rand was shocked, he didn't expect that he would come to the extraordinary feudal world of sword and magic, and he would encounter a meeting that needed to be held on time.

"Magic is very magical, as early as thousands of years ago, magicians invented alchemy props that can see the opposite side, after hundreds of years of innovation, the latest alchemy mirror can see another 3-5 people opposite the mirror at the same time, in all kingdoms, there is a special mirror hall, which is used to contact the earl and the marquis.

The kingdom has a special meeting time, and every time there is a meeting, the king enters the Hall of Mirrors, and the counts walk in full costume to the mirror for a high-level meeting of the whole kingdom. The imperial capital also has such a system, but it is more complicated. ”

So this feudal country not only held a meeting, but also held a video conference, what do you have to say at this meeting? Coordinate flood control and drought control or summer grain storage? "The high-level leaders of this meeting are in a timely manner, but the real execution of the matter, when it comes to us middle and low-level nobles, don't we still need to rely on the heralds to run on horseback? Will this be time-sensitive? ”

"Yes, to inform the actions of the legend, each legend has an associated kingdom, imperial department, academy, sect, and the legend itself can travel to other locations through portals. However, according to Imperial Rules, it is the responsibility of a Legend to inform the local Legend or Kingdom when traveling to another Kingdom or Territory. ”

"The legends are all demigods, how can there be territorial management" Rand thought it was very interesting, doesn't this world respect the strong very much, how can there be more rules when they are all legendary and strong?

"Just because the legend is a former demigod, many demigods are gods in one area, and the gods travel from their own area to the areas of other gods, shouldn't they be notified?"

It seems that these demigods are the land gods and the city gods. Rand complained in his heart, and then suddenly remembered something. "Albert, one more thing, why do we have the unit of length in meters and the unit of weight in grams? Is this uniform across the entire human empire? ”

"Yes, and not only that, but it is also unified with orcs and elves"

"Huh?" Rand thinks humans are a bit awesome.

"To be precise, this is the standard left over from ancient civilizations, and there are these ruins in all large cities of humans, elves, orcs, dwarves and mermaids, and all civilized cities are built around the ruins, so many standards are unified. As for the two phrases called rice and gram, it is the pronunciation and language of the entire human race that the God Emperor unified after he ascended the throne. ”

"The Emperor not only issued a unified standard for measurement accuracy, but also standardized the language and writing?"

"Yes, not only that, but the Emperor also founded the first official school, set up a unified examination, invented the paper that is now most commonly used, and improved printing technology.

Later, according to his discovery, the rank originally called demigod was divided into 3 legendary ranks, and he passed on the knowledge of the transcendent profession to those students who were not noble, so that the demon supporters from ordinary classes also had the opportunity to become legends.

The Tower of Purity he created can accommodate students from different regions, different classes, different nationalities, and even different races. From Albert's tone, Rand heard an overflowing admiration and yearning.

"At that moment, the Terrans have never developed so rapidly, the specialties in the city are transported through the teleportation gates, there are Terran exploration teams in the sky, the sea, the forest, and the mountains, new schools of thought are constantly emerging, the mysteries of the world are constantly being discovered, and the mysteries of history are constantly being revealed" Albert's tone suddenly calmed down "After a hundred years of exploration, mankind has found that in the vast stars, there are still many planets that can be explored and developed"

Well? Why did the train start astronautics before it was invented? Rand wondered if he had missed it.

"The space mage among the magicians discovered that it was possible to use the coordinates of the starry sky to develop other stars, and the most famous disciple of the God Emperor, the legendary starry sky mage Crane, first discovered the mystery of the starry sky, and after discovering a number of habitable planets with low magical power, mankind began the era of starry sky exploration"

"In the 600th year of the God Emperor, mankind has used not only one colony, but four planets smaller than Alivia and eight non-planetary planes, and at that time, mankind has surpassed the achievements of ancient civilizations in history, comparable to the descendants of gods."

Well, the civilization height of the entire human empire has been raised a lot in Rand's heart, and if it is to explore the starry sky, then the precise time is indispensable. Although this kind of exploration is unfamiliar to Rand, the purpose of exploration and expansion is the same, to expand the living space of races and civilizations.

"What are the tools for us to explore space and the stars?"

"Magic circle, in big cities, every noble's castle, Magister's tower needs hundreds of complex magic circles, through magic circles, magic patterns, magic locks and other magical means, magic power is run according to the requirements, to achieve the corresponding effect, complex magic circles have dozens of small magic circle combinations, need space, time and distance in a high degree of cooperation.

Such a circle can only be drawn smoothly by a strong person above the Magister. Speaking of this, Albert felt and said, "Rand, the strength of our human empire is beyond the imagination of the nobles here.

The greatness of the human empire began with the ascension of the god emperor, and for a thousand years, human beings have expelled orcs, megatrons, opened up the stars, and created legends, which is the greatest era that belongs to mankind! ”

Rand looked at Albert's praise and asked, "Let me ask you, since our human empire is like this, why are I a baronet family being chased away by the barbarians?" ”

Albert looked at Rand and smiled with satisfaction, "The great power belongs to the God Emperor, and the decline arises from the demon tide." ”

The magic tide is a magic phenomenon that lacks certainty, when the first 5 planets of the Liangyang and Raya systems are connected in a line, the magic tide will be generated, and if the 3 moons are also on this line, a super magic tide will be formed, and the intensity of the magic tide is not the same according to the specific position and angle of the planet.

The most powerful super magic fields usually happen once in a thousand years. When a magic tide occurs, the mana level of the entire planet goes from low to high and then low and then calms again, just like the tide.

The time for the magic tide to occur is often only ten minutes, but because of the sudden impact of magic power in a short period of time, many very sophisticated magic circles will be affected. The magic tide not only causes an instantaneous tide of mana, but also causes instability in space.

"At the time of the last Demon Tide, the entire Human Empire was greatly affected, not only the collapse of the Galloping Horse Kingdom, but also the termination of many teleportation circles of the human race due to the influence of the Demon Tide, and many legendary powerhouses lost contact because they happened to guard various colonies, and the alien races invaded the territory of the Human Race with the help of the Demon Tide, which led to the decline of the Human Empire."

"Teacher, you know a lot, you learned this in Mane Wolf City? Or was it learned in Dragon's Tooth? Rand was a little curious, because this kind of popular science knowledge is not only a collection, but also a part of the development of civilization, which standardizes and simplifies knowledge and historical materials into textbooks that conform to historical logic and value orientation.

This shows that the mainstream of this civilization is actively constructing a narrative structure, and now the narrative structure is that the great power is attributed to the God Emperor, and the decline is caused by the demon tide. What he is most curious about is who in a feudal era tried to construct such a narrative.

"No, there is no school in Maned Wolf City, only Count Maned Wolf's own school, that school only admits students above the knight's apprenticeship, and eighty percent are children of the Maned Wolf family, and two percent are children of the Viscount or Baron family who want to join the Maned Wolf family."

Albert's participation includes marrying a woman from the Maned Wolf family, becoming a knight of the Maned Wolf family, etc., and if there are female demon supporters in the entire northwestern county, they are generally sent directly to Dragon's Tooth City for education.

"There is a noble school in Dragon's Tooth City, if you want to go there, you need about 200 gold coins every six months, which is about the income of our territory after a year of business, but there are not many gold coins in our territory, and most of the merchants are bartering.

And the young people who go there even just to make friends with the girls there. Albert's attitude towards secondary schools in both cities is clear.

"There is only one place that is strongly inclusive, regardless of gender, race, age, family background, and that is the Pure Tower of the Imperial Capital. That great magic tower is 100 stories high, and it is inhabited by dozens of magisters and more than a dozen legendary powerhouses."

"The school is in the tower?"

"Of course not, the school has established 16 magic schools in the entire imperial capital, the imperial capital, the first 8 of these schools are intermediate schools, and the last 8 are junior schools.

Children over the age of 7 who are sure to activate their magic can apply for junior school, and if they can become an apprentice magician by the age of 12, or a junior mage before the age of 16, they can go to the intermediate school, which will be studied for 5 years.

If you can break through to the intermediate mage, you will be eligible to enter the Tower of Purity as an assistant to the Magister.

If you can break through to the high-level mage, you can directly enter the Tower of Purity. At this moment, Albert had an expression of great reverence, as if he was talking about the kingdom of God in which he believed.

Rand knew that Albert was like this, but he was afraid that he had studied for a few years but did not become a magician, so naturally he would not be able to enter the Tower of Purity. Although Rand wanted to complain, he was afraid of hitting Albert.

"Isn't the imperial capital a place where magicians gather? Shouldn't there be numerous magic towers? Why does it have to be the Tower of Purity? ”

"Because the Tower of Purity is the place where the most legends are born, the first batch of Magisters Klein, Zhuo Qin, Carl Red Dragon, and Nick Cuckoo cultivated by the God Emperor back then have been promoted to legends in the Tower of Purity, and the Emperor has not only explored the path of legend, but also explored the way to cultivate legends, which is the most attractive thing about the Tower of Purity.

Rand, the path of the human transcendent has been clear, that is, the path from possession of demons to transcendental, from transcendent to godly level. You should be a teacher of the saints, take the ascension of God as your wish, and take the revival of the galloping horse kingdom as your own responsibility."

"Okay, so what are we going to eat tonight?" Rand really didn't want to eat flatbread anymore, and wanted something less choking.
