Gao Wen's words caused a huge wave in Carmier's heart, so that his entire flashing frequency became 4/4 beats, and the overall color turned blue not because he couldn't understand Gao Wen's meaning, but because this idea was really different from the traditional magic prop production concept.

Even in the period of the Gondor Empire, where technical power is superb and some ordinary magic items have been mass-produced, many magic props existed as expensive items. People seem to have regarded such magic props as rare, expensive, and treasures that can be passed down from generation to generation, family swords, family rings, family talismans... It is normal for these things to be used for decades or even two or three hundred years. Although the technology of the Gondor Empire is advanced, due to the deformity of technology, the magic items they can mass-produce were actually limited from the beginning. Basically, only magic infusions, magic shaping things can be mass-produced, and things that need to be processed in depth must be made by magicians, and the production mode of workshop or laboratory is still maintained.

Because the magician cannot produce it.

Therefore, although the Gondor Empire was technologically advanced, its development speed was not fast. Especially in the later period, after the potential of the Deep Blue Magic Well was discovered, the strength of the entire empire and the abundance of material were no longer the result of technological advancement, but more of it was "accumulated".

So Carmier never thought about what changes would happen after all magical devices became cheap, mass-produced, and rapidly consumed industrial products.

However, he could not refute Gao Wen's words, although he was old, he was not stubborn. He was only limited by his own experience for a while, but as long as he opened his mind, he would realize that Gao Wen was right.

Magic props become ancestral treasures. They are not precious because of their long service life, but because they are too precious, so people have to let them use them for a long time. If a magic device can be produced in large quantities in factories, it can be easily purchased and used by everyone, and it can be updated and replaced within more than ten years or even a few years, then do people still need to pass on its precious place from generation to generation?

Gao Wen also had his own considerations when he said these words. Although he emphasized the "consumability" of industrial products, he said so only after thinking carefully. No matter when, service life is ultimately an important indicator for measuring product quality. It does not mean that things that can be mass-produced in industrial areas can completely ignore their lifespan, especially equipment on the battlefield, which must be more durable.

Different things have different life requirements, and the life requirements of semi-permanent fortifications and a gun barrel (acceleration track) are definitely different.

Therefore, he conducted material testing and calculations, used a magic field exceeding the design strength to power the repulsive substrate, tested the loss of various extreme environments to the red copper matrix, and finally determined that this thing could still meet the needs under long-term overload.

In fact, he had fallen into a misunderstanding in this regard before: he had considered strengthening the short-term efforts of some magic devices through overload, but after mentioning it to Hedy, the other party would always say that this would seriously affect the life of the magic device, so it would not be worth the cost. In addition, there were many other things to be busy with, so he did not go into this aspect too much. Until one day he couldn't help asking Hedy, asking her how long a certain device could maintain stable operation under frequent overload. The latter said to him with a serious look:

"Ancestor, if the magic circle does not take forty years, the elements will dissolve!"

Then Gao Wen realized that on the issue of "service life", his worldview is different from the locals... In their eyes, if a magic prop is not used, it will be thrown away in vain...

"According to my tests, if a universal substrate with a red copper matrix is ​​used as a repulsive generator, the acceleration guide can fire three to four thousand shells continuously, of course, this is a rough estimate. It will only be determined after a finished product test is made. Moreover, this number will be affected by the environment, but no matter what, I think this service life is completely up to standard."

"Is three thousand firings... it should be enough," Carmier recalled the way he produced rune substrates he saw in the rune forging factory. He had to admit that this service life is really enough. "Then the problem of acceleration guides has been solved, but the formation used on the shells... this seems to be the magic array of the elves system?"

"Yes, Wind Blessings, the basic spell of the hurricane suffix, and the skilled elf rangers will add the power of the wind to every arrow they shoot. This can make the flying object almost immune to the interference of airflow and greatly enhance its flight speed and distance. I think this thing can also be used on shells. Although it is a little larger, the shells will also fly out."

Carmire hesitated: "The magic system of the elves and the magic system of the human beings..."

"Humans basically cannot use elves magic. This is because there are subtle differences in the brain structures of the two races, which leads to the way humans perceive magic power differently than elves. Of course, the spells are completely different when releasing spells. Therefore, elves magic must be converted into human spell models before they can be mastered by human spellcasters. When encountering those who cannot convert spell models, they cannot be cast by human hands. However..." Gao Wen nodded, and the second half of the sentence suddenly changed his tone, "This is just a problem that spellcasters will encounter when casting spells. There is no such difference in magic arrays and runes, and there is no such difference in mathematics!"

“You mean…”

"I asked the 'magic expression' of Wind Blessing from Saldrin. This is a magic circle based on elves spells. The elves can draw it, and humans can draw it. No matter who draws it, it will still take effect," Gao Wen said slowly. "But this magic circle is still a bit too complex, consumes too much energy, and the materials required for portrayal are too expensive, so I hope you can optimize it and use formulas in rune logic to reconstruct these runes. The language of elements is universal. Although these runes are used by elves, their elemental meaning is no different from human runes."

"Yes, the language of elements is universal..." Carmier's voice gradually put on a hint of enthusiasm, "The language of mathematics... should also be universal..."

Gao Wen nodded: "If rune logic can optimize this magic array, then we have proved one thing: mathematics, like elemental language, is to describe the word of truth, at least in the fields we can already touch. The application of rune logic will be greatly expanded. From now on, not only the human magic system, but also the elves' magic system can be included in the world constructed by the Jenny formula group and the Lavenkes constant!"

Carmire was silent for two seconds, and suddenly bent down at Gao Wen solemnly: "I will achieve all this with my own hands!"

"I look forward to your results," Gao Wen smiled, "but don't delay the design of your weapon on the line. It's also a must."

Carmire left, Gao Wen stood up from behind the desk, came to the windowsill, and quietly looked into the direction of the north shore.

There are not many buildings in the territory yet, and his sight can directly cross the administrative areas, residential areas and the dock area to the north of the city. Using the powerful vision of the Legendary Knight, he can see far.

This is a clear day after the snow stops, and the scenery on the north bank of the Baishui River is even vaguely visible.

The newly established 25th production and construction brigade and the "Prison War Team" composed of sixteen Tifeng prisoners have been sent to the north shore to build a new residence. The high and low scaffolding is like dry tree branches in the background of winter snow. On that land, the fog moon is approaching its end. After the end of this "month", which lasts more than 60 days, it is a colder and more difficult "cold moon". On the land of various noble lords, there will be a large number of poor people with nothing to face the biggest life and death test they have to experience every year. Cecil will complete the last batch of engineering projects this year, preparing for population growth and spring plowing in the second year.

After the cold moon is the month of recovery. After the spring plowing begins, farming will be busy everywhere, and it will not be so easy to buy cheap serfs. However, there will always be civilians who will lose their land, lose their homeland, be expelled from their homeland or escape from their homeland for various reasons. They are like migrating ants from one territory to another. Some die on the road, and some die in foreign lands. Even if the weather is good, some will leave their hometowns.

After all, this is the declining southern border. A hundred years have passed since the decline of the Cecil family, and the countless pioneering strongholds and grain storage have been gone in the process of the nobles re-dividing their power. Land is easy to be abandoned and rebuilt, and the aristocrats in the southern border are constantly in conflict, so people have no way to rest assured to reclaim new land and build homes. Therefore, refugees have almost become a "normal phenomenon" in the southern border, and aristocrats of all sizes have long been accustomed to this.

In this case, as long as there is a piece of land that is stable and can fill its stomach, it will naturally attract a large number of people to move into Gao Wen. There are only two issues that need to be considered. The first is whether he can "eat" so many people, and the second...

Are those "good neighbors" watching Cecil's leader grow bigger and bigger?

There was also heavy snow in the capital, and it was the largest snow since the beginning of winter.

Veronica stood on the tallest tower of the Cathedral of Holy Light, allowing the cold wind to swell the snow dripping from the roof to hit her face, but she was not aware of it.

This is the highest place in the cathedral. Such a special prayer room was built at the top of the high spire. The center of the roof of the prayer room is inlaid with a priceless Holy Light crystal. The crystal penetrates the roof and directly touches the outside of the roof. It directly points to the sky and sets up an energy crystal in a place with a high enough place. Believers believe that this is the way to get close to God.

Therefore, this prayer room located at the top of the spire is also the most special place in the entire cathedral. Ordinary believers are not qualified to enter. Even Veronica was allowed to enter after passing the "test of God".

However, she did not pray, nor looked up at the Holy Light crystal that could make any believers of Holy Light as mad. She just opened the window and looked down at the abortions walking on the ground.

The snow has not been swept away, and the entire city is covered in silver. The square and several roads in front of the cathedral are also covered with a layer of pure white. The pure color covers all the dirty, dirty, and decay. Whether it is sewage or feces, or even the corpses of frozen dead, they are temporarily covered by white, as if they have never existed.

The crowds who came to worship were walking in the snow-white area, citizens in colorful winter clothes, wealthy merchants, knights, and nobles, divided into clear streams of people, walked into the church area from different gates, and sought guidance from the gods in this building favored by the holy light, as well as some psychological comfort that allowed them to continue their current life with peace of mind.

In the process, the snow was trampled by the crowd and melted by the sun. Behind the worshipers, the black streets appeared again, mixed with the mud after the snow melted, and were as dirty as those worshipers.

Veronica suddenly closed her eyes, she took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, her expression calmed down again, and there was no more joy and anger fluctuations in her eyes.
