Juan Javier, who had his guard up, turned to Lin and asked, "What do you think? I can see that you've arranged everything thoroughly, and you're quite confident in this Mr. Goodman. Have you considered letting your students join in the training? Maybe with a familiar partner, that little thing will feel more at ease joining. "
Was the girl's intuition too accurate, or was this Archmage too ignorant? In any case, Lin seriously considered the problem of trapping his students, but he gave up in the end. It wasn't that he didn't want the two girls to receive the shocking education that he expected, but Lin had a lot of things that he needed Hallumi or Kaya's help to complete.
It would be too wasteful if they spent most of their time on training that wouldn't have any significant effect on their improvement. Although Lin didn't give them an elite education during their six years of apprenticeship life, he didn't completely let them do as they pleased.
He taught them all kinds of magical knowledge from the bottom of his heart, explaining his experience in various ways until the girls could understand. This kind of treatment was much better than what the kids in the academy were going to face.
Lin smiled and said, "They're already Second Ring apprentices. They won't learn anything if they study with those kids. If they really want to make friends, there are other ways. So just keep it the way it is. "
"Is that so?" Juan Javier smiled politely, but his mind was thinking about his various defensive measures and whether they could be activated at any time.
After finalizing the treatment and arrangement of the Archmage, Lin didn't continue to waste time chatting and bonding with the Archmage. Since they were in the academy, there was one very important thing that had to be set up properly for the upcoming militarized teaching, and that was time.
For a precise schedule, of course, the first thing to do was to let people understand the concept of "time." Although the time server had been set up in the Tower of the Great Sage for a long time, it was only set up to calculate the movements of astronomical stars, so it wasn't made public. Now, there were only four people in the Maze who used the twenty-four-hour system, including the minutes and seconds. Lin, Fen, and the two little girls.
In the first lecture, when the rules of the calendar were announced in the second half of the mathematics class, the concept of time was used in the calculation process. But Lin doubted that many people could understand the fancy performance, so no one asked about it until now. This would be the first official public appearance of the academy's design.
There were two types of things that were expected to be made. One was a big clock, and the other was a wristwatch or a pocket watch. What's more, it skipped the mechanical version made up of gears and springs and directly used the digital version controlled by the time server. The advantage was that there was no need to worry about errors and timing. It wasn't that there weren't any disadvantages. It was that once one entered the domain of magic suppression, the watch would become useless.
However, compared to the antimagic domain that he might not encounter even once in his life, he had to rethink his technology tree … Ever since he came to the maze, he had been on the wrong path for a long time. Lin did not want to add more trouble to himself. Needless to say, mechanical watches were also a field of study. Otherwise, how could a watch be sold for millions of dollars back on Earth?
With the Time Server, he only needed a small piece of Magic Stone Fragment to obtain the time information. The only thing left to consider was how to present the time. It was just like how the forums were hidden in the magical network world built by Authority and could only be seen through the screens created by Water Mirror. These people were also considering the problem of the carrier.
Secondly, it was also a problem to present the digital version or the pointer version.
There was no doubt that the pointer version was a more traditional method, and it looked more realistic. A digital electronic watch was like a toy that young people or children would wear. However, this kind of understanding only existed in Lin's mind. The people in the maze did not even know about watches or time, let alone traditions.
In other words, no matter what choice Lin made, as long as it was confirmed, it would also confirm what tradition would be passed down in the maze.
However, Lin did not have the self-awareness of creating history. He just wanted to find a method that was easier to complete and maintain. Using the Water Mirror to display the digitized time seemed like an option as well.
However, if he wanted to use the fragments left behind by the Magic Stone to complete the physical watch, he had to consider the consumption. The Authority in the fragments was not enough to maintain the operation. Simply connecting to the Time Server to obtain the standard time would consume almost no Authority. However, no matter how little the consumption of the Water Mirror was, it still needed to summon water from the Elemental Realm to maintain the form and then display the content that he wanted to project on it.
In order to not let the replacement of the Magic Stone fragments become the norm and achieve the ideal result of perpetual motion, it was important to consider the balance between the consumption and natural recovery. The easiest way Lin could think of to achieve this was to use magic materials to make the surface. The Magic Stone only needed to bear the consumption of the Authority to project the numbers on the surface of the material, saving the consumption of constructing the image.
Furthermore, he could refer to the electronic watch on Earth. Each number was formed by seven independent parts of the word 'sun'. Each part only needed to be considered whether it was bright or not, and when combined, it would be a number. Combined with the output of the eight Authority programs, it could perfectly complete the basic electronic watch that could be considered as almost zero consumption.
These were all research projects that were completed after the completion of the Time Server.
Now, he wanted to set up a large time display in the academy. Considering the characteristics of accuracy, ease of reading, and low consumption, a digital design would be better than a pointer version. Therefore, Lin purchased a magic material called the Water Mica Stone. It was mainly used for long-distance communication and was an excellent magic material to project distant images.
Moreover, this stone could be easily taken out into a smooth surface to project images without distortion. It could be said that the best material for the screen of the forum should be this kind of magic stone.
However, its disadvantage was also obvious, which was its weight! The Water Mica Stone of the same size was even heavier than gold. In fact, there were many magic materials in the Maze World, and their density was even higher than gold, which was a precious metal.
Imagine that on Earth, in order to go on the Internet outside, people had to carry a traditional 19-inch screen with them. That kind of thing was so heavy that if people were thin and weak, they would not even be able to carry it.
In order to carry a screen of the standard size that was enough to provide a browser with magic to open the forum, it would probably require a two-person carriage to carry the magic material. Probably, after a few times of going on the Internet, the user would be dissuaded.
Therefore, although the Water Mica Stone was very cheap compared to most magic materials, Lin still could not use it as a regular output medium for the forum. However, the Water Mica Stone was an excellent material for a large electronic clock in front of him.
Although it was very heavy, with the help of the first-circle spell Weight and Potency, it was not a big problem for Lin, who was an official sorcerer, to carry a piece of mica that was two meters long or one meter long. Together with the spell Walking on Flat Ground, it was the best way to construct on the wall.
Although he did not deliberately catch the work, Juan Javier was still very interested in things that he had never seen before. He recognized the Water Mica Stone as a magic material, but he did not know what such a thin piece could be used for. Therefore, when he saw Lin walking to the outer wall of the central protrusion with this large stone slab in his arms, he followed him.
Although Walking on Flat Ground was not a regular spell, for a knowledgeable archmage, it was easy to find a similar way to achieve the same effect. He followed Lin and asked, "Mr. Cuipwood, what are you going to do with this Water Mica Stone? Do you need help? "
"Oh, Mr. Javier, it's great that you're willing to help. Could you please hold this stone slab for me first? "
Under Lin's instruction, Juan Javier grasped the stone slab tightly and did not let it fall from the height of three stories. Lin took out the ink bucket line and a simple water scale and quickly determined the position of the stone slab.
Then, he took out six sets of metal fasteners. If it were on Earth, he would have to take out an electric drill and bury geckos, or expansion screws, to fix these metal fasteners. However, in the maze, a spell Stone to Mud softened the wall behind, and the metal fasteners could be easily buried into the wall.
Also, because the wall was not a magic material, it would quickly return to its original state as long as the spell was stopped. However, the metal fasteners would not be squeezed out but buried deep in the wall. In this way, the six metal fasteners were buried and their shapes were changed with Shaping so that they were tightly fastened to the stone slab of the Water Mica Stone. In this way, the base material of the large electronic clock was firmly fixed to the wall.
Then, Lin took out the Time Server Terminal Magic Stone that he had made long ago and buried it in the upper right corner of the Water Mica Stone with Shaping. He turned on the glasses and connected the image to this specially designed terminal, and then activated its function. In the eyes of others, it looked like Lin was randomly gesturing and then flicking his finger, as if he was casting a spell, and this large stone slab's function was activated.
The stone slab that suddenly lit up and showed the symbols even gave Juan Javier a scare. After all, a certain someone's battle record in the Tower of the Great Sage was in front of them, and no one dared to underestimate anything this man used that was unfamiliar to others. However, it seemed to be harmless, and Guebrach Tripwood was looking at his work proudly, which made Juan calm down and look at the work in front of him.
Seven independent long objects took turns to light up and extinguish, forming a new type of number used in mathematics. There were a total of six words, two in a group and slightly separated in the middle, so that they occupied the entire surface of the stone slab.
Lin jumped and removed the spell as if he was walking on flat ground. At the same time, he used Feather Fall to let himself slowly descend to the ground. The great mage who followed him, Juan Javier's eyes never left the large electronic clock, and he asked, "Mr. Tripwood, what is this?"
"A clock."
"Well, what is a clock?"
"A prop that shows time."
"… Well, then why are there so many numbers?"
