Benjamin heard a voice before he could even set foot in the room, and then he saw someone he didn't really want to see right now, and the person sitting with Solomon and talking was Austin.

Benjamin's Democis Party is called the Sweet Party, and Austin's Sain's Party is called the Salty Party, and the argument between the two parties about whether tea is better to sugar or salty is a joke on the surface, but not just a joke.

In fact, it reflects the difference in political philosophy between the two sides, so it can be regarded as two people who grew up together, and the two people who worked together in the time of Queen Tifanie eventually became different political factions.

"Ha, Austin, old friend, I was surprised to see you here with the Duke, but it seems that I made an appointment with the Duke to talk about things today. Benjamin was surprised, but he still greeted him politely and pointed out his intentions.

There were three people talking, but Benjamin knew both, and in addition to Solomon and Austin, there was also a former security secretary who served as security secretary for two decades after Solomon stepped down from politics, and could almost be seen as a sign of the royal family and Solomon in the cabinet.

Later, even Guerra left the cabinet and retired to the company founded by Solomon, but the former Minister of Security has been in power for many years, and his influence in the Ministry of Security Affairs is very large, even if it is the Demoxius Party or the Sainz Party Party to form a cabinet and produce a new Minister of Security, he has also cleaned up the institutions and secrets of the Ministry of Security many times, but so far he does not dare to guarantee that he has completely eliminated his influence.

"I'm really sorry that you're here, it's true that today's time was originally reserved for you. But Austin came on a surprise visit. Some of his questions would have been answered by the presence of Guerrra. So the three of us have been talking about the present. Solomon spread his hands and made an apologetic gesture.

"It's okay, anyway, Her Royal Highness heard that she went to Modo for a vacation, even if I stay here for the night, it's no problem, right?" Benjamin said with a smile, in addition to the original Perth Palace, the royal family's palace was later divided into a new palace, after all, Modo is now part of the territory of Asturias. It's also normal for the royal family to have a palace over there.

Benjamin looked at Solomon with a little jealousy. Queen Tiffany is now like a woman in her thirties, sixty years is only equivalent to more than ten years, but it can't be compared with Solomon's current appearance, almost sixty years have passed, Solomon's face has hardly changed, as if time has stopped in him.

Although magicians have the ability to prolong their lives, and when they enter the legend, their longevity will increase, but longevity and immortality are actually two different issues, even for magicians. It is often not possible to do both.

Benjamin and Austin are older, with distinctly middle-aged characteristics. Of course, this is at least thirty years younger than their actual age.

They got power out of politics, and they had to pay some price.

"So, what did you talk about?" asked Benjamin, seemingly casually.

"Hehe, our topic is confidential to other people, and it is the best thing for our Prime Minister to know. It was Austin who spoke, and he raised his head slightly and said, "What we were talking about just now was the arcane Skynet, especially about the development of Skynet. ”

"The development of Skynet?" Benjamin's heart moved, "It's great, I'm interested in this topic, and I originally prepared this aspect for my interview with Duke Solomon today." ”

"That's right, I don't have to leave early, let's go on. Just now, I talked to the Duke about how to expand Skynet, including the inner space of the plane, as well as the heterotopic plane, and second, with the expansion, the supply of resources, I mean, the current Skynet model, only relying on Skynet's own collection of biological mindwaves to supply the Arcanist to cast spells has long been seriously insufficient, if it had not successfully broken through the original limitations and realized the dualistic transformation of matter and energy, Skynet would not have succeeded at all. Austin said.

He was talking about the history of the Arcane Skynet, a history that many people may not know clearly, but the four people here know it very well.

Arcane Skynet's initial LAN was successful in the Wizarding Research Institute, and then began to be widely built and operated, but soon a problem arose, that is, the biological telekinesis collected by Skynet was not enough to support the users indefinitely, especially as the users continued to expand.

Although at that time, Solomon and Fernandez, the creator of the arcane skynet, had already prepared to distinguish the use level of the skynet, and later set up the concept of spell slots to restrict the unlimited use, but it was still not enough, and the final solution to this problem was that Duke Solomon proposed the idea of the dual transformation of matter and energy, that is, by burning black rock and using the magic power in the magic crystal to actively charge the arcane skynet, so as to maintain a sufficient source power.

In the past, the magic power in Black Rock and Magic Crystal was used to follow a fixed magic pattern line to provide source power for alchemy items such as magic lanterns, but it was a very difficult bottleneck to provide the ultimate source power for the invisible Skynet.

To some extent, this has some similarities with the necromancer's Wraith Tower, the difference is that the way the external charge of the Wraith Tower is that the necromancer turns the living into a part of the Wraith, and the more resentful you are before you die, the greater the power it brings to the Wraith, and the Arcane Skynet is not so cruel, it just needs black rock or magic crystals.

In the end, although it was successfully overcome, it was still inseparable from the base station, and the time for Skynet's extensive operation was delayed by at least 20 years.

After successfully solving this problem, the Arcane Skynet flourished, but it also relied heavily on external charging, and the automatic collection of Skynet was always limited.

And after the Black Rock or the Magic Crystal was directly connected to the maintenance of Skynet, the Arcane Skynet had to break away from Fernandez's original idea, and changed from completely free to paid fees, and even became one of the most profitable.

Because being eligible to use the Arcane Skynet means that you only need to have a certain amount of magical knowledge, rather than having to meditate to accumulate enough magic to be involved in magical research and the magical industry.

And for national security, the Arcane Skynet is also of great value, within the Skynet coverage, if the supply of Black Rock and Magic Crystals and the development of Skynet are unlimited, theoretically any creature with Arcanist qualifications will have the ability to cast spells.

This, coupled with the popularity of muskets, may still not be able to make a weak human race completely comparable to the High Elves, but it is definitely a fact that the gap between the monoliths has been greatly narrowed again.

Even if the development of Skynet and the supply of source power are really unlimited, then the probability of generating high-level mages will be terrifyingly high, and the number of legendary mages will also increase dozens of times. Because there is no need to think about the bottleneck of magic anymore, only the mastery of theory and knowledge.

If the value of the Arcane Skynet does not develop successfully, then the old people may prefer that it never appears.

But it's another story after the day network is really viable, and there are people who are willing to spend huge sums of money to promote it, and get initial success.

After Skynet successfully set up its initial backbone base station in Asturias, Titania and Aurora were shaken.

Titania was already succeeded by Tristan at that time, and Emperor Sauron announced his abdication after using the Holy Spirit Armament in the First Ambergris War, and the price of using the town-level armament was considerable.

Titania took the lead in proposing to Asturias that Skynet should be extended to the territory of Titania, and Titania is willing to build base stations as widely as Asturias, and equip them with the source power provided for Skynet, including the surplus magic power in the daily Black Rock industry to Skynet, and can also build a special Black Rock Combustion Charging Plant and Magic Crystal Charging Plant.

Later, Aurora made similar demands after fierce internal quarrels, and finally the three countries signed a contract in the capital of Titanya to jointly maintain long-term peace in the local plane and devote themselves to the construction of the Arcane Skynet, for which it was agreed that Titania and Aurora would participate in the Skynet base station invested and built by Chuangshen Co., Ltd. in the name of the state.

This agreement, historically known as the Skynet Agreement, is certainly not without its problems.

For example, all countries have more expectations for the equity of Skynet, including Asturias itself, because the initial equity is 100% owned by Chuangshen Co., Ltd., and then when it was widely built, because Chuangshen Co., Ltd. has the shadow of Duke Rohman, Asturias subconsciously still thinks that being in the hands of Chuangshen Co., Ltd. is equivalent to controlling the hands of the kingdom, and later Titania and Aurora also became interested in the Arcane Skynet and asked for the extension of the construction, and at the same time put forward the equity requirements, this contradiction became clear, but Chuangshen Co., Ltd. was not willing to completely hand over the control of Skynet in his hands to the kingdom, and insisted that this should be carried out by a business model, forcing the exercise of power on behalf of Titania and Aurora can only arrange for a few shadow companies to hold shares.

In the end, the daily management and control of the Arcane Skynet by the various countries, with the consent of the shareholders, produced the Skynet Management Company to manage as a neutral party, of course, the name is neutral, and the actual management position is also sent by the countries to join, and the formation of branches in their respective countries, but it is worth mentioning that the core management authority of the Arcane Skynet has always been held by the most shares of Chuangshen Co., Ltd.

For all countries, they all want to master the Skynet by themselves, of course, they are not completely mastered, if they are fully mastered, it will inevitably be resisted by other countries, and it will become a lose-lose situation, and it will be impossible for Skynet to be built in all countries as it is now, which in fact expands the scope of Skynet; if they suppress each other, then the Arcane Skynet may still only exist in Asturias, and it has not even been completed in one country.

In addition to this inevitable contradiction, what is in the common interest is how to expand Skynet just mentioned, and the interests of the Demoxime Party and the Sainz Party on this issue are also identical.

This is also a very big problem, and it is easy to do on land, which is nothing more than building more base stations and adding more black rock or magic crystal charging plants to match.

But the sea is very troublesome, there is another continent, and as for the alien plane, there is no way at all for the time being. (To be continued.) )
