To be honest, Gawain was surprised to see Kamal appear outside the window sill, but after seeing the azure blue arcane light of the other party, he guessed that the results of this ancient grand magus were no small matter. Otherwise, he would not have lost his composure like this. Kamal had always been a very steady person, but when it came to his research, it was as if he had changed into a different person. Gawain once heard the technical staff of the Rune Research Institute and the Magitech Research Institute discussing Kamal's work. Sometimes, when there was an inspiring result, this ancient grand magus would even change colors crazily like a neon light …
Of course, the technical staff in the research institute did not know what a neon light was. When they first saw Kamel in the laboratory, they thought the master was going to blow himself up …
"What did you do?" Gwen did not bother to be courteous with Kamel. He went straight to the window to talk to him. "You finally summed up the law of the changes in the magic field?"
"Ah … That's not it." The azure blue arcane light on Kamel flickered slightly, and then brightened again. "But it's still an exciting result. Please come with me. The equipment is still in the research institute."
Gwen could see that Kamel was trying to keep him in suspense, but he was happy to play along. He even turned to Heti. "You come too. Let's see what Kamel has done."
The three of them then left the liege's residence and came to a laboratory in the Magitech Research Institute.
Kamel was originally a member of the Rune Research Institute, but the knowledgeable ancient archmage, who had participated in the Disobedience Project, was not only powerful in theoretical knowledge, he was also very talented in various practical fields. After getting in touch and quickly familiarizing himself with the various technologies of the magitech industry, he also set up a laboratory in the Magitech Research Institute, which specialized in practical technology, and transferred some of the projects there.
In the clean and bright laboratory, Gwen saw a large number of half-finished or disassembled things, including magical obelisks, orbital accelerators, a new generation of magic capacitors, and so on. They were all placed in various test areas, but these were clearly not the exciting results that Kamel had said. The results were placed on a platform in the center of the laboratory, and its appearance … was never seen before.
Gwen saw a triangular base. This shape was a common design for many magitech devices in the Kingdom of Gondor, and Kamel was also used to using this style for many of his creations. The base was made of common purple copper, and there may be a trace of crystal dust or crystal blue steel mixed in, which gave it a beautiful and mysterious blue-purple color. In the middle of the base, the main body of the device bulged upward and was inlaid with a piece of clear artificial crystal. The crystal was very pure, but its color was almost transparent, which meant that it was not an expensive magical material, but just an ordinary magical release medium. The real mystery of the device was mostly hidden in the triangular base.
The entire device was not big, and the longest side was only about half a meter. The design of the Kingdom of Gondor made it appear perfectly symmetrical, and with the bulging metal base and the crystal in the center, it even looked more like a decorative art piece when placed on the experiment table.
"Can you reveal the secret now?" Gwen looked at the thing on the experiment table with great interest, faintly guessing its possible function. "What is this?"
"Please wait a moment, I'll activate it now. If the other device is also functioning normally, you should be able to see it soon …"
As Kamel spoke, he floated to the device and activated the base of the device with a small energy spark.
With a very soft buzzing sound, the beautiful device started to operate. The runes on its base lit up one by one, and the inlaid crystal in the center was filled with a faint white light. A moment later, the air above the crystal began to distort, and in the midst of the vibration, a vague image appeared before Gwen.
Gawain could not help but breathe faster. Even Heidi, who was beside him, could not help but gasp softly.
The image finally stabilized, and Gwen saw his always energetic little granddaughter moving her head around in the image, as if she was operating or observing a device on the opposite side. She fiddled with it for a few seconds, and then as if she suddenly saw Gwen, she immediately waved her hand excitedly, and a clear and cheerful voice came from the base of the device. "Ancestor, ancestor!! Look at what we have made!! "
"I see it, I see it!" Gwen exclaimed excitedly. Usually, in order to maintain the dignity of his ancestor, he rarely had such an obvious and emotional moment, but at this moment, he really could not control himself because he knew too well what this thing that Kamel and Rebecca had made meant. "You have finally succeeded! Rebecca, where are you now? How far is the communication distance? "
"I'm in the North Shore Development Area!" Rebecca said cheerfully, and then stepped aside. Gwen then saw a vast expanse of open scenery outside the window, which was the newly leveled foundation of the North Shore Development Area. "It's still very clear here! Can you see me clearly? Can you see me clearly? I can see you clearly! Ah! I also see Aunt Heti! Aunt, your dark circles are so real today! "
"Calm down, this child has always been like this." Gwen casually pressed Heti's shoulder. "Did you really draw your dark circles?"
"Of course not!" Heidi was going a little crazy. She could never understand how Rebecca could change the topic to a certain direction under any circumstances. Even though she was the one who raised the silly roe deer, she still could not understand. "I'm really … But I can't believe you actually managed to get this thing out!"
Heti's mind was filled with thoughts of beating Rebecca up, but the significant device before her finally attracted her attention. She circled the device a few times, trying to determine the magical principle and the difficulty of making it, but she already knew the answer: if the device was made by traditional communication spell model, then Kamel did not have to report it as a great achievement to Gwen!
In this world where extraordinary power existed, long-distance communication was not unheard of. It was just that the spell level was higher and the cost was higher. It was also because of these two limitations that its application had always been limited to a very narrow field. For example, each country's monarch had one or two emergency communication channels, or some high-grade professions needed to communicate in a smaller range. At present, the only long-distance communication channel that could be said to have practical value and was also used on a large scale was the Great Wall built by the elves. However, the Great Wall was built by almost half of the continent's intelligent races seven hundred years ago. Its cost was so high that even seven hundred years later, no country could save enough to build another one, and the Great Wall's communication range was only around the wall …
Kamel must have known these facts, so he was so excited to present this result. The only explanation was that he had succeeded in breaking through the various limitations of traditional communication spells or communication devices, as Gwen had requested.
While Heidi's mind was in turmoil, Gawain was also deeply moved. The first thing he was surprised about was that Carmel had actually created a visual communication-level device.
At first, he had only expected an audio call, or at the very least, a telegram … However, the degree to which this thing could be done in one step shocked him.
But after a brief moment of surprise, he realized that this was normal. In this world, sound wave spells that reproduced sound and illusion spells that were close to holographic projection were actually not complicated. Before simplification, their magic arrays were only at the level of low-grade advanced and middle-grade beginner. After Jenny had completed the reconstruction and simplification of most of the basic runes, the magic arrays of these two spells were all at the level of low-grade intermediate …
The real difficulty had always been "making the signal stable and long-distance transmission".
Due to the special nature of magic, it could only be transmitted through the symbols on the magic array, and could not be transmitted through "wires," so it was extremely difficult to implement wired communication in this world, and wireless communication had always been facing the problem of the magic array model of the communication spell that could not be simplified and there were too many technical black boxes. It could be said that in this world with strange physical rules, the difficulty of "making the signal stable and long-distance transmission" was far higher than how to convert the signal into sound and image.
This was the world, a world that always surprised Gawain and left him at a loss. The workers in the fief were using laser welding torches and anti-gravity elevators, but he could not make a working steam cylinder.
"Very good … very good …" After the surprise in his heart calmed down, Gwen could not help but repeat this word with a particularly happy smile. "Transportation and communication … Half solved, half solved …"
"What?" Kamel asked curiously. He was a pure researcher, and he had been completely immersed in his project recently, so he did not know about the government affairs.
"No, nothing." Gwen waved his hand and then looked at the device. "Is it made with the basic rune group?"
"Ninety percent of the basic rune group, but some more complicated rune structures are used to achieve the function of the magic oscillation frequency control," Kamel explained. "This part of the rune structure needs to be engraved on a silver substrate, but fortunately, the number is very small, and we have recently found that the alloy made of silver and crystal blue steel has good magic stability. Using this alloy to make the substrate, the cost is within the expected range."
"Is it convenient for ordinary people to use?" Gwen continued to ask.
"It's as convenient as the other magic-powered devices in the territory — you just need to control the rune trigger."
Gwen continued, "Very good, I still have a question …"
Kamel floated slightly in the air, his voice full of confidence, exuding a reserved and proud slow flash. "Of course, I'm ready to answer."
