The Badge has an award ceremony, which is usually held the day after it is revealed, because usually the winners of the Mist Badge are basically the Grand Arcian mage and above.

Even if the winner is thousands of miles away, he or she can participate through the Arcane projection.

However, Duke was not a Grand Arcian mage and could not cast the Ring of Projection, so he was absent from the awards ceremony the next day.

Of course.

The arcane mages of the Seven Towers Federation actually don't care much about these forms, and on the path of pursuing spiritual arcane law, the arcane mages always pursue higher, faster and more excellent, and the aristocratic atmosphere of red tape has gradually disappeared.

In particular, the means such as the projection ring determined that the high-level of the Seven Towers Federation was always in a hurry every time they came to a place.

Over time, efficiency at all levels is invisibly accelerated.

"The Misty Chapter, it's really enviable!" In the following days, after finishing his own work, Erwin rushed to the Duke Sage Mage Tower, "It is said that many Great Arcane Mages, and even Arcane Teachers, are waiting in line for the Mist Chapter, but they are easily cut off by Your Excellency. ”

Every year, the Federation of the Seven Towers will delve into countless achievements on the path of exploration of spiritual mysteries, which may not be able to sink into society, but there are undoubtedly many achievements of great value.

So many achievements, but the Fog Chapter is only held every four years.

I can't get in line at all.

It is really not easy for young people to get the chapter of the fog, but who called the ring of the brand invented by Duke, it can already be called the "ring", and it is reasonable to cut off the chapter of the fog, even if the film and television technology has the qualification to cut the beard.

The study of naturalism is becoming more and more important, and it is already an inevitable trend for spiritual mysteries to sink into society.

"I just had it all because of luck and spiritual guidance." Duke smiled in response, "I'm bothering Lord Erwin." ”

"How can I say it's an interruption, I'm also serving the spiritual arcane!" Erwin was always happy, like a rickety little old man, "If your teacher were to study the ring copy materials and let me cooperate, I wouldn't be willing, but you are different, I believe you can succeed." ”

He had already agreed that he would cooperate with Duke to study the Ring of Projection.

After the polite greetings ended, the two of them did not continue to delay, and directly started the data collection work of the projection ring.

While walking towards the airship berth on the top of Lingya Mountain, they chatted about the projection ring.

Mainly, Erwin introduced to Duke: "Your teacher must have told you a lot about the Projection Ring, but she is not a Grand Arcane Master after all, and she has no deep feelings for the Projection Ring, so I will describe it in detail." ”

The Ring of Projection, about 1,200 years ago, was invented by a great mage, Le Muller.

It was with this technique that Le Muller was selected for the Valhalla Temple, becoming one of the ancient sages in the field of spiritual arcane.

"Our spiritual sea is a projection of the real spiritual sea, so our ring, or spiritual core, is theoretically also part of the projection. With this projection effect, we can replicate our own spirit core and build an identical ring in the real world. ”

Refining and establishing a spiritual connection with oneself can produce a real projection effect with this replicated ring.

When the ring is activated, the mind can cross the infinite distance, and based on this duplicated ring, a new spiritual sea will be condensed, and a fictitious figure will be relied on the spiritual sea.

"The mind can switch freely between two bodies, just like the left and right hands of one hand, and I have to say, this is the wonder of spiritual mysteries." Erwin exclaimed, "Of course, if you really want to say that its principle is somewhat similar to that of an arcane weapon. ”

Basically, the Ring of Projection is equivalent to a more special arcane object.

Ordinary arcane weapons, relying on alchemy technology, refining real materials into the spiritual sea, between the virtual and the real.

The Ring of Projection also relies on alchemy technology to refine real materials into props suitable for the projection of the Spirit Sea, and uses the opposite method to transform the Spirit Sea and the Arcane Master itself into virtual reality and establish a clone.

"All in all, if the arcane weapon is a spiritual sea spell model, a projection to the real world, then the projection ring is a realistic construction spell model, which produces a projection into the spiritual sea, thus pulling our will from the distant body to the clone."

Duke nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Why is it that only the Grand Arcane Mage can cast the Ring of Projection?" ”

"That's the point." Erwin was the first to board the airship and said, "Our spiritual sea is wrapped in a layer of mist, and if we want to see the part of the fusion between the spiritual sea and reality, we must remove this layer of spiritual arcane fog. ”

After a pause, he continued: "If the fog is not removed, the projection is very difficult to achieve because you don't have a precise point. ”

"Understood."

"The projection room has arrived, and my replica ring is stored here." Erwin asks the projection room in the airship to be opened.

Inside is a large armillary sphere-like device.

The cold light flickered, and the spirituality was permeated, and the whole body of this device was cast from various precious spiritual materials, as if it had a spiritual rhythm like breathing.

"I only have this one replica ring, and the 4-ring earth arcane mage can only cast one replica ring, and it needs regular maintenance to prevent the spiritual connection from breaking and causing the projection to fail." Erwin stroked his replica ring and sighed.

5 Rings Ocean Arcane Mage, you can cast two replica rings.

One is the replication ring of the 4-ring period and the other is the replication ring of the 5-ring period, and the two have obvious differences in strength.

In the same way, the 6-ring Sky Mage can cast three replication rings, copying the spirit core of the 4-ring period, the 5-ring period and the 6-ring period respectively, and condense the clones of the corresponding level.

Replication rings can only be few, not more.

"Even the Sky Arcane can only project one at a time, not at the same time." Erwin went on to explain.

Duke carefully looked at the entire replica ring and could see it clearly.

Then he asked, "I want to check the internal structure of the replica ring without destroying the material itself, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Replica rings aren't that easy to break." Erwin smiled and nodded, "Even if it is broken, it doesn't matter, I'll ask your teacher to help me cast one." No matter how expensive the material is, how expensive can it be. ”

"Then you're welcome." Duke replied.

Immediately, the hand of the arcane weapon and the eye of the arcane weapon were condensed, and at the end of a pair of white crystal arms, there was a blue crystal eyeball.

It looks very weird.

But the effect is really good, under the control of Duke's mind, it is directly scattered into thousands of threads, and the tip of each tentacle has a tiny eyeball.

In a matter of time, these inextricable strands were pierced into the replication ring.

Moment.

The massive amount of information from the copy ring poured into Duke's mind like a tide, and even with the thinking power of his 3-ring arcane mage, he still couldn't deal with this huge amount of mixed information in time.

It can only be delivered to Xiaoyi and handed over to Xiaoyi for modeling and analysis.

And he was busy himself, and even had time to think nonsense: "If there is no Xiaoyi, even if other arcane mages cast the same arcane hand and arcane eye as me, they will not be able to really use the full ability of the arcane hand and arcane eye." ”

These two auxiliary types of arcane weapons are completely tailor-made for Xiaoyi.

Only the two-ring sand eagle is an arcane weapon, which has no brains and is easy to learn and operate, which is Duke's favorite.

After a long time.

In the sea of spirits, Xiaoyi has completed the modeling of the replica ring, and the details are 100% restored.

Duke then withdrew the Hand of the Arcane and the Eye of the Arcane, and he called the combined form of the two Arcanes the Arcane Heaven.

After all, there is an idiom called "hands and eyes to the sky".

"Your Excellency Elwyn, I have already observed the replication ring clearly, and I would like you to cooperate with me to cast the projection ring."

"No problem."

Erwin was very cooperative, without the slightest hesitation.

It was really the light of Duke's four-in-a-row erudite tower, and the strong interception of the fog chapter, which gave Erwin infinite trust in him.

He believed that Duke might really be able to produce some blockbuster results on ring replication materials.

At that time, this achievement will be the result that he and Duke have teamed up to conquer, and the value contained in it can definitely be summed up by the title of a sage.

Erwin has no new possibilities in his cultivation in this life, but he wants the title of a sage, to make a final conclusion for his life, and leave it to future generations to admire.

If you want to get the title of Sage, getting closer to Duke is undoubtedly the fastest shortcut.

With the activation of the replication ring, Erwin sat on a chair, his mind had already left his body, followed the unknown projection process, entered the replication ring, and began to condense a virtual mage similar to the original body.

The phantom can be big or small, and the phantom he condenses at this moment is no different from a normal person.

It's just not as solid as a normal body.

"How about the clone of the old man, has Lord Duke seen anything abnormal, except that it is not solid enough and more illusory?" Erwin controlled the clone, stepped off the replication ring device, and came to Duke, his every move was no different from that of a normal person.

Duke touched his chin.

The arcane weapon hovered in front of him, and asked, "I wonder if you can let me check it?" ”

"It feels weird, but you let go of the inspection." Erwin was experimental, and with open hands, motioned for Duke to inspect at will.

The arcane weapon turned into a thousand threads and burrowed into Erwin's clone.

"Well, it's a very interesting arcane weapon, and it's also a very creative arcane weapon, using psionic energy...... Well, it's not just psionic energy, it's the application of all forms of perception? "Duke is checking on Elwin's doppelganger, and Erwin is getting a sense of how the arcane machine works.

Duke nodded in response, "There are two arcane weapons, the Hand of the Arcane and the Eye of the Arcane, which are used to replace things that my hands and eyes cannot observe and operate. In fact, both of these objects were inspired by my former colleague Sanfez. ”

Had it not been for Sanfez's turn to medicine, the creation of an arcane weapon that could examine the patient's body would not have inspired Duke.

The Hand of the Arcane was designed and developed, and then the Eye of the Arcane was designed and developed.

"Shanfis, hmm, the director of Cuihai City Hospital?" Erwin had some impressions of Sanfez, but the impressions were vague.

"Yes."

During the chatting time, the arcane weapon Tongtian had already carefully examined Elwin's doppelganger and successfully modeled it in the spiritual sea.

He asked, "I can't find the source of power to support the operation of your doppelganger. ”

"This is the mystery of the Ring of Projection, and it is not the Replica Ring or me that supports the doppelganger, but the power projected from the sea of true spirituality." Erwin replied, "That is, this power is a projection of my true power. ”

"Power can also have a projection?"

"So, this is the mystery of the Spirit Sea." Erwin said with a smile, "This is also the meaning of our arcane mage, one after another to explore the spiritual arcane, isn't it." ”

Duke squinted his eyes and let Xiao Yi analyze the collected data in the sea of spirits.

Some analysis difficulties were directly conveyed to Duke, and Duke would ask Erwin for answers in the form of questions: "Since it is a projection, why is the power of the doppelganger only half of his own?" ”

"The old man doesn't know, maybe the fog of the spiritual arcane has not really dispersed, or maybe something interferes with the effect during the projection, in short, the power of the doppelganger will be greatly depleted compared to the power of the real body."

"How does the mind leave the doppelganger?"

"Just a thought...... Before Erwin could finish speaking, the clone had already dispersed, and then he himself opened his eyes, "You see, it's just a matter of a moment, whether I'm on an airship or in a mage tower at the moment, it's just a moment. ”

One question and one answer, a ring of projection, a circle of research projection.

Half a month passed unconsciously.

For the projection ring, Duke has collected enough data and handed it over to Xiaoyi to continuously sort out and analyze, and most of the computing power is used in this experiment.

In addition to Elwin, Keystone Fury Tao also agreed to Duke's request for experimental cooperation when Duke and Kiria Fury visited together. Cast the Ring of Projection on the battleship Bibo for Duke to observe and study.

In the rest of his free time, Sukhtara would also come to the lab to give Duke a hand.

"Child, I see that you have been frowning a lot all this time, is there something confusing about you about the direction of the ring copy material?" One day in late autumn, Sukhtara was in the laboratory, looking at Duke who was frowning and contemplating, and couldn't help but ask.

Her face was full of nervousness, for fear of hearing Duke answer that the direction of the ring copying material was a dead end.

That would be tantamount to denying her life.

However, Duke just smiled and said casually: "It has nothing to do with the ring copy material, in fact, my research during this period of time has already had some eyebrows...... I do have some experimental confusion, but in other directions. ”

"Yes, do you need the teacher's help with something?" Sukhtara breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not yet, I'll find out." Duke smiled.

He didn't reveal what he was confused about, in fact, not long after he started experimenting with the ring to copy materials, he found that one of his original ideas didn't seem to be feasible.

That's communication technology.

After Sukhtara left, Duke assigned the next stage of the lab's tasks, handed it over to associate professor Leovis to take over, and left the lab first.

Back in his office on the one hundred and first floor.

"Sir, do you need me and Xiao Shanshan to give you a massage?" Mula Li asked with a smile in her eyes, twenty-year-old girls are the most beautiful.

Duke enjoyed the massage of the two little assistants the most.

But at this moment, he was not interested, just waved his hand and said, "You go outside, watch the illusion movie to pass the time, I want to meditate for a while." ”

Hearing this, Mu Lali and Mu Lashan immediately retreated.

Duke was alone in the office, turning the sofa chair to face a wall of large floor-to-ceiling windows.

The scenery outside the window is beautiful, it is the new city of Cuihai City.

Aside from the towering Five Towers, there are no more iconic buildings in the city, and the few roads that run through the city are not full of traffic. It can be said that within the first ring, there is still popularity, and outside the first ring, it is relatively deserted.

The city is still waiting to develop.

The vacant land in the inner city is in urgent need of commercial buildings, office buildings, and high-end residential areas, and the large wasteland in the outer city is also waiting for enterprises and factories to move in.

However, in an industrial zone outside the Second Ring Road, it seems to be in full swing at the moment, with an endless stream of trucks and pickup trucks.

The industrial zone has a huge sign.

Even if it is far away, Duke can still clearly read the sign that reads - Cuihai Lingka Industrial Service Park.

There is no doubt that this is one of the few achievements of governance that has yielded benefits since Duque took office. After the Sankagome family invested in the Giant of Light, Duke decisively rejected Union Card Store's subsequent request for cooperation.

Instead, he began to support small companies and make spirit cards.

There is a light giant spirit weapon company, which produces and provides spirit card branding instruments; There are Duke Sage Mage Towers and Suktara Mage Towers, which cooperate with laboratories to develop cost-reduction technologies.

These small companies have been able to produce various types of spirit cards in large quantities with ultra-low-cost spirit card manufacturing technology, and sell them one after another. At present, the business scope is limited to Heijiaohe and several surrounding areas.

The main reason is that the United Card Store is strong, and all parts of the Fengxi field dare not give face, and openly introduce the spirit cards of these small companies.

However, on the black market, spirit cards produced by small companies are very popular with mercenary groups.

Anyway, the spirit card does not occupy a place, and many mercenary groups from other cities simply come to Cuihai City in person to buy the spirit card and take it back to use.

Some card repair shops in other cities also secretly come to buy goods and sell them privately.

No matter how strong the United Card Store is, the mages behind it will not target the card repair shops that sell spirit cards in private.

"But a small workshop is a small workshop after all, and the good days are just over this time." Duke doesn't think these small card companies can grow and compete with Union Card Stores.

The reason is simple.

Since his invention of the Ring of Imprints, card making has not been the exclusive craft of the Arcane Mages.

As long as there is a good prototype spirit card, relying on the spirit card branding instrument, it can be continuously copied and produced. At most, the spiritual apprentice needs to correct the instrument from time to time to prevent some errors in the spiritual energy when reproducing the ring.

"In the foreseeable future, similar small workshops will emerge in various cities to produce spirit cards and supply them to local cities."

Thinking of this, Duke suddenly smiled again.

The technology of the Ring of Imprint, he is not free, the patent fee can definitely be collected, and the patent of the Spirit Card Imprint Device is also in his hand.

Other fields can collect some royalties, and the Wind Breath field is exclusively licensed to the Giant of Light.

"I don't produce cards, I only produce card-making equipment!" Duke thought comfortably that he wasn't worried about the Giant of Light being suppressed.

After all, the Sankagome family has officially invested in the Giant of Light, which represents the leader of the Wind Breath field, and Loren Shankagome is already his partner.

Giants of Light can sit back and relax.

His gaze shifted from the card industry service park to the side, across the road, another park under construction.

And in this park, there is only one company to occupy, and that is the third phase of the Giant of Light factory area.

A huge factory building will be built to produce all kinds of spiritual weapons.

As for the third phase of the Giant of Light's factory next door, there is also a vacant park, which makes Duke frown again.

"Communications companies, I'm afraid it's going to be postponed." Duke sighed, he had planned to build his own communications company next door to the Giant of Light.

Now it's time to postpone it.

"The more I studied the projection ring technology, the more I felt that the projection ring technology could not be used in the field of communication. When it comes to the rules of Linghai projection, all of them do not need the great power of the arcane mage as the foundation, and they do not meet the conditions of communication technology. ”

The Ring of Projection of the Grand Master is itself a form of communication.

It's just that the cost is terrifyingly high, except for the power tower of the Federation, who can let a great arcane mage pass on the message for himself.

Therefore, the projection ring technology basically does not have the possibility of sinking into society, that is, breaking through communication technology from this point is already a dead end.

"The spiritual magnetic wave does not exist, and the projection ring cannot be sunk, so what is the next breakthrough communication?" He had been pondering all this time, but he had not thought of a good solution.

At this moment, his gaze wandered casually outside the window, and he soon noticed the five towers in the inner city.

Huge screen walls have been installed on the top of each tower.

This is also a measure implemented after he took office, not only the five towers, but also some tall buildings in the inner and outer urban areas, screen walls are being installed one after another.

"When there are more and more buildings, and the screen walls are connected, the light show in my mind will appear in Cuihai City!" Duke couldn't help but touch his chin, he was still very proud of this, the major cities of the Seven Towers Federation were still focusing on the city that never sleeps, and he had already started the light show.

At that time, all the large screens will be connected and the same magic movie will be played, which will be shocking and let people know what a future city is.

And then some hype, Cuihai City will be famous all over the world.

The attraction of talents will rise by a large margin.

"When the time comes, I will personally direct a phantom propaganda film to let the world know what a real large-scale phantom performance is!" Duke thought of the light shows he had seen on Earth.

Some people say that the light show is very earthy, not as good as the city.

But whether it's dirt or not, at least Duke visits some big cities and sees the light show, his heart is quite shocking.

So now that I think I'm going to recreate the city light show and use an entire city to screen my own fantasy film, the sense of accomplishment is incomparable.

"Cuihai City is my drawing board, it is my PPT ......"

was sighing, and suddenly an inspiration flashed in his mind, which made him can't help but raise his eyebrows, and he had a thought: "Light show...... PPT…… Deliver information...... By the way, the electrical signal can't be found, so why don't I look into optical signal transmission? ”

Because of psionic energy, thunder and lightning exist, but electromagnetic waves do not appear.

Duke has always had a misconception that he always wants to find an electrical signal, and if he can't find an electrical signal, he wants to replace electricity with psionic energy.

Look for so-called psionic waves and the like.

However, although electromagnetic waves and spiritual magnetic waves do not exist, electricity and light still exist, but they no longer appear in the form of waves, and it is not that they cannot transmit information.

"Light!"

Duke stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, his hands clenched into fists, secretly excited.

The yet-to-be-arrived light show in Cuihai City may be a celebration in advance for the future of optical communication technology.

"And, the Giant of Light...... Maybe it has long been destined in the dark, I want to become the light of the Seven Towers Federation to refine the entire barren continent! "If I had to consider a noble surname in the future, it would be Duke Hikari...... Let's call it Duke Bright! ”

The inspiration brought by the light show stirred through Duke's mind.

He immediately asked Xiaoyi to organize an experimental process and prepare to conduct experiments in secret in his independent laboratory.

However, the current primary research is still ring replication materials, not only for the sake of teachers, but also because most of the experimental progress, Erwin and Keystone Futao have personally cooperated, and it is a bit of a waste of resources not to make any achievements.

"3 rings, the ring of projection...... I'm the 3-ring arcane mage, so I'll think about it for myself, and I'll solve the ring copy material first! ”

Optical communication technology is of infinite value, and ring replication materials are also of infinite value.

Whoever comes first is the same, anyway, in Duke's mind, this will be in his own bag, a pearl in his sage crown.

He looked at the floor-to-ceiling window, reflecting his long figure, and smiled slightly: "Why don't you set a small goal now, I want to be the first sage to be selected into the Valhalla alive!" ”
