The most important reason why magic technology can change the way the whole world can operate in this era is that it relies on this.

The elves have a temple of stars. For thousands of years, the never-falling aerospace fortress has been the greatest guarantee for the Silver Empire to be able to look down on all countries. Although due to the aging problem of the temple itself, its deterrence can only be limited to the southern part of the continent, as long as the fortress is still floating in the sky for a day, most countries in the continent of Loren can only look up and respect it - this has nothing to do with whether the elves themselves "adhering to peace and neutrality", but the inevitable situation caused by overwhelming strength.

In today's international situation, Gao Wen and his entire ruling team do not intend to make Cecil a hegemonic empire, but even so, he still hopes to make the empire's air power breakthrough. The aerospace fortress in the hands of the elves is an extremely attractive and practical goal. Even if it is not considered from the perspective of military deterrence, this flying fortress that can operate at high altitudes for a long time, have strong protective power, and can provide reliable guarantees for expeditionary units. It is also of great significance to Gao Wen's long-term plan:

Counterattack of wasteland.

There is only one Temple of Stars, and due to power and maintenance issues, it cannot be too far away from the Silver Empire. It is unrealistic to expect it to become the main force of counterattacking the wasteland, but the threat of the wasteland is placed there, and the hidden dangers inside are increasing day by day. People living around the wasteland must find another way to ensure their safety. Using the unique advantages of magic technology to try to create mass-producible magic version of the space fortress to accumulate strength for the future counterattacking the wasteland. This is the plan formulated by Gao Wen - one of the many plans.

But it is not easy to implement such a bold project. Even with a cheating test system like the Origin Laboratory, which comes with acceleration and full-truth simulation, a lot of technical support provided by the elves, and convenient magic assistance and relatively mature anti-gravity technology, it is not that easy to create a human's own "Star Temple" - this is not as simple as a super-large "dragonist".

Rebecca's attention returned to the sketch in front of her. Her eyes slowly moved between the anti-gravity devices arranged in regular order and the power ridge. While thinking, she muttered: "The biggest problems we have encountered so far are two... One is the magic shock and resonance damage caused by the operation of a large number of anti-gravity rings in the same system. Last time we used the Dragoon's anti-gravity ring to test the machine, directly burned all the test devices and almost exploded the entire platform. This problem has now been solved, which is to add an isolation layer and energy-release device between the power ridge and the energy-consuming unit. Whether it is effective will depend on the next test.

"The second problem is how to effectively integrate such a huge system so that all parts of the system can operate in conjunction with each other - the thing we designed is too large and the structure is too complex. The number of magic devices that work together under the same magic system is amazing, there are at least a dozen anti-gravity rings, and these things are also related to each other... There is a problem with the coordination, so maybe it will be shut down. The space fortress has to fly in the sky, which is different from the vehicle and ship, and the system will fall down after the shutdown..."

"That's why we need an 'operation center'," Marin Leslie nodded. "This operation center can sense the status of all systems of the entire fortress at the first time and can control each part efficiently. Considering the size of the overall system of the aerospace fortress, the complexity of this operation center will exceed the limits of our current various control technologies - even if it is barely built, I'm afraid that few people in this world can really operate it..."

"That's why I said that the servo brain and the wet parts host are good things. Although our ancestors always think that their image is not good enough," Rebecca laughed. "Nothing is more suitable for commanding such a huge and complex system than a neural network. I agree with what Mr. Dan said--the most beautiful creation created by life is machinery, and the most beautiful machinery is life itself. The wet parts host and neural network can break the boundary between machinery and organisms. As long as the nerve cables can cover the entire system, the control problem of the aerospace fortress is not a problem. Next, we will consider how to transform and upgrade the system that Glen Heavy Industry has passed the verification into our blueprint..."

"After all, this idea also refers to the elves' temple of stars," Marin Leslie sighed with a bit of complex expression. "I heard that the control technology of their 'sanctuary' is essentially something like a neural network..."

"That's different," Rebecca immediately shook his head, "The wet piece host does not occupy the population, at most it costs some sugar - the silver elves' star temple fee queen."

Marin Leslie's expression was a little weird in an instant: "Your statement is a bit..."

"I'm not talking nonsense," Rebecca knocked on the table seriously. "I talked to Queen Belsetia last time. She said that after sitting on the throne of the rule, people will become part of the machine. They must concentrate on controlling the system, and the selection of operators is also extremely harsh. First, they must be a member of the Morning Star Royal Family, or they cannot pass the biological certification, and secondly, there must be a synchronization rate or something like that... The synchronization rate cannot be increased, and the efficiency of the Star Temple will decrease. In essence, what is the difference between this and the magic props that rely on talent to cast spells in the old era?"

Speaking of this, Rebecca put his hands on his chest and made a serious judgment: "So in my opinion, the elves' temple of stars has flaws at the root - even if the elves repair it, that thing will sooner or later be a constraint. If the Silver Empire wants to develop, sooner or later, it will still have to find a way to get rid of this "antique heritage" with problems everywhere. What did the ancestors say? What is it called "breaking" and then building it up... Anyway, I think the Silver Empire needs this "breaking" process now."

"Uh... you're right, but I didn't mean it just now... Forget it, you're right." Marin Leslie coughed twice in embarrassment, raised her hand to touch the sweat beads that did not exist on her head. His princess in front of her has always had a wonderful way of speaking. People with some traditional thoughts like her can't help feeling extra pressure when they accidentally talk to her "upper topics". He even suspected that at least half of his hair was chatting with His Highness.

Rebecca seemed not to have noticed that she had put new pressure on the reliable subordinate in front of her. Her attention was attracted by Marin's movements, and her eyes looked up, and she was a little surprised: "Hey, Marin, you have less hair again?"

"This... thank you for your concern," Marin's expression was a little embarrassed in an instant. He touched the tip of his nose and said, "Actually it's okay, after all... you should understand when you are middle-aged..."

"Ah, then I suggest you ask Pitman for help. He seems to be studying some alchemy ointment for hair growth recently - although I don't know who will ask him to order that ointment every now and then, you can try it. Although his ointment sometimes has no effect, I have never heard of any serious side effects..."

"Thank you, I'll think about it." The embarrassment on Marin's face was almost overflowing, and she began to think desperately about what to say to divert the Princess's attention so that the topic would pass quickly, but fortunately, Rebecca had already put aside the topic before he spoke - just like usual, her attention was always jumping around on various things. When Marin kept touching the tip of her nose, she had already stood up from behind her wide desk and came to a floor-to-ceiling window not far away.

Rebecca's eyes looked out the floor-to-ceiling window.

That is the deepest part of the entire facility and an area with extremely confidentiality. Only the windows of her office can be seen directly in the entire administrative area from the windows of her office. In the huge enclosed space, the high-power magic crystal lamps illuminate the wide assembly platform and the steel support structure built vertically and horizontally. The cold light and shadow are outlined under the searchlights. Between those huge platforms and support structures, the unfinished anti-gravity rings, the giant power ridges being welded, the movable magic obelisk, the busy shuttle engineering vehicles, and countless workers and technicians busy between the giant components.

"The components that were burned before have been replaced... Before installing the batch of parts sent by Pompeii, we should do more preparations in the No. 2 test site," Rebecca said softly. "Malin, prepare another simulation framework, and we will verify the transformation plan for the power ridge. In addition, contact the computing center and borrow their wet parts server - the new power ridge and neural network control system. We can test the two solutions together."

"That budget..." Marin couldn't help but say. Although he didn't need to worry about this, the conversation he heard outside the door just now made him feel a little worried at this time.

"I'll just apply, it's just an unplanned test," Rebecca waved his hand. "And even if it really burns, it's better to burn a set of simulated frames and wet parts servers than to burn the main power ridge on the boat platform, and my aunt will understand."

Marin looked at His Royal Highness in front of him, and then lowered his head for a moment: "...Yes, Minister, I'll make arrangements now."

...

In Cecil City, in the office of the Grand Administrator in the Government Affairs Office, Hetty, with a slightly tired face on her face, put down a report in her hand, rubbed her slightly sore eyebrows, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and Gao Wen's voice came from the door: "As soon as I came in, I saw you sighing, Hetty. What difficult problem did you encounter? The village renovation and the retraining of free mercenaries on Bodevin were stuck again? Or did the construction and planning department raise you another problem?"

"If it is such a problem, it's better to just dispatch the staff and adjust the work arrangements of the corresponding departments," Hetty rubbed his eyebrows again, sighing with a headache, "It's our dear Miss Rebecca, she..."

Before Hurty could finish her words, Gao Wen waved his hand and said casually: "I understand, budget."

Hetty looked up helplessly at his ancestors: "A month ago, a meltdown accident occurred in the No. 115 Project. Although there were no casualties, the key materials and the test site were seriously damaged. A second meltdown occurred in the same place half a month ago. This time, not only did all the test devices be destroyed, but even the test site almost exploded - thanks to the strict and effective safety measures, the disaster did not expand further. Now Rebecca has submitted a budget application for the third phase...the amount is even several percentage points more than the last time."

Hetty couldn't help but shake his head, and his originally beautiful face was now confused: "I can understand the importance of Project 115, but it's too difficult to keep a normal mind when signing."

Whenever he saw the budget list from the Magic Technology Department, his signing hand could not help but tremble slightly. Sometimes Hetty really wanted to hand over these things directly to his first-level financial officer, but most of the budget submitted by Rebecca was related to confidential plans. The final review must be passed by her, the great consul. Hetty couldn't help but feel that his trembling hand would probably tremble for many years...

Seeing Hetty, who had always been mature and calm in front of outsiders, revealing this helpless look in front of him without any scruples, Gao Wen couldn't help but want to laugh, but at least he still controlled his expression and shook his head slightly and said, "It seems that this is indeed a very expensive project..."

"You started this project," Hetty glanced at his ancestors, "Did you forget?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, and we should all know the necessity of Project 115," Gao Wen coughed lightly, his expression becoming serious. "The wasteland... I'm afraid there is not much time left for us."

Seeing Gao Wen's expression change, Hetty couldn't help but straighten his back and his expression became serious: "Have you found something at the outpost of the South Gate Fort?"

"I haven't seen anything yet, but news came from the Silver Empire that their Sentinel Tower detected several irregular energy bursts in the depths of the wasteland... It didn't look like a natural phenomenon."

"Energy burst..." Hetty repeated the word softly, "That is to say, those guys hiding deep in the wasteland no longer hide their traces..."

"They knew that those of us outside could not do anything to them, and the only force deep in the wasteland that threatened them could not leave the core area," Gao Wen nodded. "Their hidden low-key before was just to prevent several countries from becoming vigilant and speeding up the pace of development, but now they are not so low-key... This shows that their confidence is expanding."

"If this happens... can the 115 project really catch up?" Hutty said with concern. "It is not safe to rely on something that I don't know when it will be successful, or even not necessarily created, to prevent the threat of an outbreak in the wasteland.

"So Project 115 is just one of our plans," Gao Wen said in a deep voice. "Now we are just building strength. Before the wall collapses, we can pile as much as we can. It is even better to accumulate enough strength to penetrate the wasteland before the wall collapses, and pacify everything before the cultists make trouble. I have approved this morning the joint proposal made by General Maryland and Philip, and start building several "forward railroads" directed to the magnificent walls by this fall to lay out our ground mobile fortresses. I heard that there are similar plans on Tifen. They are catching the time to rebuild several major legions of extraordinary people and increase the forces along the magnificent walls. The Kaoling Kingdom and the Ogure Tribe State, and even the members of the alliance that do not directly border the magnificent walls have taken their own actions.
