As the temperature continued to rise, Prandal soon entered the hottest summer month of the year. The workers in the factories received the high temperature allowance and were all grinning from ear to ear. The schools had also begun their final exams, and the summer vacation was coming soon. The smiles on the students' faces were getting brighter and brighter. They would soon usher in a very happy holiday.
At this time, the various research projects in the Magical Engineering Research Institute were also in full swing. In other words, they were always busy and never had a break.
Ever since the prehistoric civilization's computer was excavated from the Aral ruins, Eve in the research institute had been continuously copying, learning, and analyzing the data in the computer. After a long time, she finally obtained a lot of useful information from it.
The various information about the prehistoric civilization's lifestyle and technology provided a lot of reference materials for the researchers in the Magical Engineering Research Institute and inspired them. All kinds of new ideas and new products appeared on the list and were restored by the researchers with amazing ideas.
Although the processing precision of Prandal was not yet at the level of the prehistoric civilization, the current civilization had a powerful force that the prehistoric civilization did not have — magic.
The power of magic could play a miraculous role in many places. Many products that originally required complex technology and advanced scientific and technological theories could be easily solved with the power of magic.
For example, ultra-high-power telescopes originally required very powerful lens processing technology, optical analysis technology, information data conversion technology, and so on as a foundation. However, after obtaining the corresponding information, the guys in the research institute directly combined the Eagle Eye with existing telescope technology to develop ultra-high-power telescopes that were comparable to the prehistoric civilization.
Another example was the network technology. The prehistoric civilization's Internet was the same as Earth's. It started with a fixed line network and gradually developed into a wireless network covering the whole world. But now? The researchers directly used the theory of magic waves proposed by Tang En as the theoretical basis and started with a wireless network covering the whole Prandal. This network was ready-made, and they only needed to use a certain technology as support to make use of it.
From the data, they found that the prehistoric civilization's technology had developed to the point of using anti-gravity (the gnome's gravity well) to control the hovering of the aircraft, and adjusting the mathematical parameters to achieve functions such as forward and backward. Of course, the current Prandal had no way to directly restore the technology of the gravity well. Perhaps even Clotho did not have the ability to completely restore the technology of the gravity well.
But now there was magic, and there was a spell in the arcane that could control gravity to achieve a similar effect. Coupled with the wonderful product of the floating stone, it was too easy to fly into the sky.
With the development of technology and technology, if the physical structure and anti-gravity principle of the floating stone could be discovered in the future, this generation of civilization could even try to simulate the environment of the birth of the floating stone and produce the floating stone.
These were the advantages of the Prandal civilization over the prehistoric civilization.
Although it was heartless to say so, Tang En still wanted to say that the ancestors of the gnomes and the gnomes had done a good thing. If it were not for the big explosion ten thousand years ago, the world would not be in such a state of high energy enrichment, so many wonderful species and materials would not be born, and there would not be such a magical power like magic.
After a period of analysis work, the Magic Engineering Research Institute had recently shifted their focus to how to maintain stable remote communication and control. The corresponding instruction set had been developed and installed into the artificial soul computer. Now, they were ready for practical usability testing.
In the project department of remote communication and control technology, Tang En and others were surrounded by an artificial soul computer, staring at the screen in front of them. They were very nervous.
Sitting in front of the computer, Klotto stared at the screen without blinking. "The system connection is complete. The remote control system is online. The system has been activated successfully. Now broadcasting the remote monitoring image!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen in front of him showed an image ten thousand miles away. Another remote control computer had been sent to the other side of Prandal, the heart of the Megalosaurus above the East Sea. At this moment, the Dragon King Sasaglot was waiting for the communication. When he saw the image of the laboratory suddenly appear on the screen, he was shocked. "It's really activated by itself!"
This artificial soul quantum computer was not activated at first. It only added a module that passively received the activation command. After receiving the matching signal, this module would trigger a simple mechanical device, connect the computer to the power source, turn on the computer, and then automatically enter the remote control system.
At the same time, this system was no longer a universal system, but a special system specially developed to accept remote control.
Sasaglot's voice was clearly transmitted, and there were cheers in the laboratory. Klotto took a deep breath. "The communication test within ten thousand kilometers is complete! The next step is the test of the remote control command — Sparkle! Turn the camera 180 degrees! "
The Sparkle in the distance was delayed for a few milliseconds before it executed Klotto's command. There were cheers in the laboratory again. It was a success again!
Only Tang En frowned. It was not even ten thousand kilometers and there was already a slight delay? In this aspect, the magic network could not compare to the wireless electromagnetic wave network.
Although the wireless electromagnetic wave network would also have a very serious delay in interstellar communication, at least in the open environment of the planet, there would be no attenuation or delay at all. Moreover, the speed of the wireless electromagnetic wave was the same as the speed of light. Although it was not known what the speed of light was in this world and there was no way to test it, the difference shouldn't be too big, right? A speed of thirty thousand kilometers per second was definitely enough to form a communication network in the planet.
"My friend, you don't seem to be satisfied?"
Klotto noticed Tang En's expression and was immediately very surprised. The successful implementation of this technology meant that they could soon implement the next step of their idea. Once that function was implemented, the entire Prandal would be completely changed, and this historical change would be born from his hands. Just thinking about it made him so excited that he could not sleep at night!
Tang En shook his head. "At this stage, I'm very satisfied, but from the perspective of long-term development, it's not good."
"Why?"
"Because of the delay."
"Delay?"
Klotto was dumbfounded. "What's that?"
For the natives of Prandal, delay was a very new concept. They did not even know how important it was.
For Tang En, who claimed to be a "professional player", the importance of delay was second only to having a dreamy computer!
"It's the time it takes for the target to receive the command and execute it."
Tang En briefly explained the concept of delay, but Klotto still could not understand it. He gave a few more commands, and it felt like they were perfectly executed!
"That's because you didn't notice that the Spark actually paused for a moment when it was executing the command. This pause is more obvious the farther away it is."
Tang En pointed at the image and said, "Actually, the image we're seeing now is already a little delayed."
"I know, but what does that matter?"
Klotto still could not understand.
"For example, if we add a remote control module to the airship, we can stand on the air tower and control the airship remotely. Do you know how big of an impact a one-second error can have? Even a second late can cause a huge deviation in distance! "
Tang En gestured with his hands. "Let's change another example. If we add a remote control module to a long-range missile, we have to hit the target from a very long distance. Then, at the speed of the missile, if your command is executed half a second late, the distance to the locked target may be a world of difference … The farther the distance, the higher the delay, and the faster the speed, the greater the deviation."
After Tang En gave these two examples, Klotto finally understood the concept and importance of "delay." Then, he scratched his head. "Then how should we solve this problem?"
"Two ways."
"The first way is to change to a faster information transmission medium. Now, we're using magic waves. If we change to electromagnetic waves, light, or the more powerful quantum, the speed will be even faster.
"The second way is to use existing means to find a way to increase the current information transmission speed."
Tang En smiled bitterly. The first way lacked the corresponding theory and technical support, so it was not realistic at all. So, there was only one way.
"Increase the speed … by strengthening the magic waves of the initial launch?"
"It's useless. The amount of energy contained in the initial wave does not affect the transmission speed. It only affects the distance of the initial jump from the magic node, the transmission range, and the strength of the signal."
"Then …"
Tang En pondered for a moment. Just as an idea came to his mind, he heard Histisa say, "I have an idea."
Angus said loudly, "I have an idea!"
The two looked at each other and were stunned.
Histisa smiled. "You first."
Angus nodded and said, "My idea is to add spatial modules to both the transmitter and receiver. In other words, we'll give up the non-directional wide-area broadcasting method and directly use directional broadcasting. We'll use the spatial module to open a miniature spatial tunnel and let the signal pass through and then close it. This way, we can indirectly shorten the distance between the transmitter and receiver. The faster the spatial tunnel is opened and closed, the lower the delay. We only need to solve the technical problem of the spatial module. However, the material and technical cost of this method are relatively high. "
